from Xingyuan

Chapter 1040 256. Imperial Route: Leading to the Ending of [Spiritual Deer] (51)

"What you said is true. If Xing Yuan had paid me back what he owed me, I wouldn't have usurped power in Mephidria."

Li Aozi made a casual joke, causing everyone to laugh.

Fu Shen smiled bitterly and shook his head:
"Now that things have come to this, we can only fight to the end. All of Lai Anding's actions are for the stability of himself and his interest groups. We must break up such groups."

"Sir Leoz, through the Empire, has provided a large number of people and resources, which can provide a foundation for the development and upgrading of the warriors, but the most urgent task is to choose sides in addition to one's own strength."

"With just the few of us, it's simply not enough to fight Leanding. Not to mention we have to enter the void, so I just thought, can we attack Rand Lord first?"

Fu Shen's words were rather vague. He was going to take action against Rand Lord, but how exactly?

There are many means, such as kidnapping, coercion, temptation, persuasion, house arrest, etc., and the effects are different.

Friends who often engage in coups know that kidnapping is a thankless task.

A political leader who can reach the top position is mostly heartless.

Even if you kidnap the other party's family members, it may become a political show for the other party, and you will become a terrorist instead. Not only will you fail to achieve your goal, but you will also ruin your reputation and become a nobody.

But if kidnapping is done well, it can actually turn into a turning point for you.

Most people just go with the flow. Even though they know that the king and his family are exploiting them, they are still afraid of the revolutionary thugs. After all, they don't even care about the king's authority. They kidnap and extort at will. Isn't that even more cruel to the defenseless people?

Therefore, Xu Shen spoke very cautiously, hoping to have a good discussion on how to treat Rand Lord.

"Land Lord was carefully cultivated, and it must have cost a lot of resources."

"Yes, if we treat him roughly, it may be our Yuanyuan who suffers."

"After all, he is the successor of the Lord God. We should treat him well and then put him on the throne. When the time comes, Rand Lord will definitely favor us after seeing our kindness."

Many people spoke very cautiously at the meeting, and many people simply believed that Rand Lord himself had not done anything bad, or that compared to his value, that little thing was nothing at all. What's more, Rand Lord was still their compatriot.

Compared to being considered as terrorists by the Yuanyuan God Clan, it is better to treat compatriots cautiously, which will bring greater benefits.

However, there is no such concern when facing Li Aoz.

Because he was a terrorist attacker.

The inhumane massacre of the Underworld, the air raid on the entire Frost-Plated Republic, the bloodbath at the Sky Ring Auction and Hojo Heavy Industries, the attack on Van Lenkov, and the genocide on Violet Star.

Even Uncle Canyue, a fellow thug, felt that Li Aozi was a bit too extreme after seeing his first half of life.

“I don’t think there are that many worries.”

Li Oz made a tactful suggestion:
"We tied up Rand Lord and brought him before Leanding, threatening him to either abdicate or we cut off a part of Rand Lord's body every minute and send it to Leanding."

"I want to see if [Redemption Fairy] Leanding, looking at his own loose son, can do his best to save him."

"If he is rescued, we will take the opportunity to publicize it. Lai Anding only cares about his own family affairs and doesn't care about the survival of the Yuanyuan God Clan at all."

"If He is not saved, then we will publicize that Lai Anding no longer has the skills to be saved and is not qualified to become the main god at all."

Unfortunately, this tactful suggestion was met with a fierce reaction from the Protoss warriors.

"This is too cruel! Let a mother watch her child being chopped up and sent to her like a roast duck. Leanding will go crazy. What if Leanding is pushed into a corner?"

"I think that's not enough. We should prepare a fake Rand Lord. When Leanding fails to rescue him and starts crying, we should bring the real Rand Lord's head to him."

"You are just venting your revenge! We want to get him out of power, and if we start to commit terrorist acts, how will people in the future look at us? Will they imitate us? Will they use what we did today on us?"

Faced with all the random discussions and arguments, Xu Shen was speechless.

He glanced at Lioz and said:
"Sir Leoz, do you really think we should do this?"

"You know me, Fu Shen. I only care about the result. I never care about the means."

"That's why you are called a tyrant, a usurper, a tyrant, and a brutal ruler."

"Fu Shen, there are 2% of people in the world who hold 98% of the world's wealth. I just killed those 2% and distributed their wealth to the other 98%. If they scold me, it only means that the 2% of people who died were related to them, or that they wanted to become part of that 2%."

"But, you know, Sir Leoz, there will always be that 2% of people, and the world will never be equal - you, me, and the people sitting here, if our revolution succeeds, then we will be part of that 2%."

Fu Shen said in a deep voice:
"You are already a beneficiary of this system, please give us a way to survive."

"Deep."

Li Oz looked at the other party calmly:

"In recent years, I have begun to believe in Taoism."

"Dao Zong? You, have faith?"

"Yes."

Li Ozi said:

"I am not destined to be a person who enjoys life. As a human being, my greatest pursuit in this life is to read scriptures, practice, make elixirs, and practice Taoism, to be quiet and at ease, and to rule by inaction."

"I've worked as a blacksmith, fought on the battlefield, and been cannon fodder. I've tasted 80% of the hardships in this world. I've come this far, half because of the right time and place, and half because of being down-to-earth. But do you know how many people in this world live down-to-earth and have come to where I am?"

“No matter which narrative civilization, this world is a hell for those who are honest and decent.”

"I admire Earthlings, especially East Asians. They are pragmatic, sincere, and hardworking. I even dreamed several times that I was reincarnated as an Earthling! In the eastern part of Asia, people like me who work honestly can achieve class leap through hard work. They can become officials by taking exams, and can change their fate by studying. They don't have to fight or be cannon fodder. They can succeed as long as they study. I'm so jealous of these Earthlings! Why can they get all this just by taking exams? I fought hard for Xingyuan, and how many stars perished, and what did I get?"

Li Oz poked his chest and whispered to Fu Shen:

"I have become a demigod, but I have not been granted a title by Xing Yuan."

"I have killed dozens or even hundreds of demigods, but Xing Yuan still refuses to give me a title of a noble. But if I were to go to the [society], they would immediately give me a position as a councillor!"

"If I didn't love my home and this star abyss, if I were a normal person, I would have joined Gaia long ago. But I'm not normal, and you should be thankful that Lioz is not a normal guy."

"I'm not willing to give up, Fu Shen. I really am. I started to learn to be an Earthling. I've been learning Chinese for forty years. Sometimes I even wonder if Xing Yuan will give me a status as long as I believe in Taoism, worship the Three Pure Ones, and practice steadfastly."

"If the people of Xingyuan were the same as the people of Earth, without many worldly desires, and focused on practical work instead of worrying about their origins and behavior, then Earth would be the one being invaded today!"

Li Aozi let out a long breath, sat up straight, and stopped looking at Fu Shen.

After hearing these words, Xu Shen fell into silence.

After an unknown amount of time, he slowly opened his mouth and said:

"So, we should change Xingyuan. The tragedy that happened to you should never happen to others again. It is right for us to start by not letting this happen again."

Fu Shen looked at Li Aoz and said:

"Believe me, Lord Leoz, no, Mr. Leoz, we are going to establish an unprecedented, truly great, glorious, and shining grand narrative among the stars. Our social values ​​are more progressive, more decent, and more humane than those of other civilizations."
