Chapter 2077 The Essence of the Battle between Immortals and Demons
He slowly stopped smiling and remained silent for a long time before saying:
"The battle between immortals and demons began with the lighting of the Tianluo Star. Before that, the immortals won and successfully drove the demons back to their lair; but in the three thousand years that followed, the demons could not descend on the earth, and the immortals gradually lost the upper hand and lost the competition. Mr. Xin, what do you think was the real reason for Lingshan's defeat?"
Xin Yi was a little surprised. The two were talking about the supply problem of Panlong City, why did He Lingchuan turn the conversation to this?
This question is too big and too macro. It should not be asked by a general of Panlong City, or even questioned by humans.
If someone else had said this, Xin Yi would have smiled and ordered him to leave. But he and He Lingchuan had known each other for a long time, and he recognized the talent of this young general, so he calmed down and said, "This issue has been discussed by the immortals for three thousand years. During these three thousand years, the spiritual energy has risen and fallen like the tides. And every time the spiritual energy revives, the power of the immortals also rises, which can suppress the arrogance of the demons; when the spiritual energy declines, the demons gain power and the demons can call the wind and rain again."
He sighed, "But Lingshan actually knows that the success or failure of the battle between immortals and demons is not just due to the rise and fall of spiritual energy. After the Tianluo Star was built, the human world and the demon world were actually forced to become one, and the people of the two worlds were forced to share all the spiritual energy. Three thousand years ago, it was just a battle between immortals and demons. After the Tianluo Star lit up, billions of lives joined in, and it became a multi-party battle."
He Lingchuan nodded. Xin Yi's words essentially acknowledged the complexity of war, with billions of lives taking the stage as the third powerful force.
This is also a huge variable that cannot be ignored. If the immortals want to make a difference in the war, they can never ignore the power of living beings.
He Lingchuan added: "I heard that Lingshan also helped many forces in the past, but most of them ended in disgrace."
Those forces either became disloyal to Lingshan and parted ways, or fell apart and disappeared.
In the long run, Tianmo still has one successful case, but Lingshan doesn't even have one that can be stabilized.
Xin Yi did not refute it, because it was indeed true: "Some immortals believe that Lingshan has never been able to handle the relationship with the human world well, which is the main reason for Lingshan's current situation. Others believe that we have never made good use of the new laws derived from Tianluo Star, and it has become difficult to reverse the situation now."
"So, what does Mr. Xin think?"
"My master, Immortal Wuhuan, believed that the reason why the demons were able to gradually gain the upper hand over the past three thousand years was because they could not come down to the human world," Xin Yi recalled. "Because of this statement, my master had a dispute with Immortal Qianhuan, but I agreed with my master's opinion."
"The demons can't come down, so everything has to be done through the human world, whether it's demons or humans. Then, the relationship between them and the forces they have cultivated will be more harmonious. As for Lingshan--" Xin Yi sighed. He knew the nature of Lingshan very well. "Okay, don't keep me in suspense. Just say what you want to say. I'm going out too."
"Mr. Xin is straightforward, so I won't beat around the bush. Let's speak frankly." He Lingchuan gave a shot of prevention first.
Xin Yi smiled and said, "We know each other well, and you can't offend me. There's no need to be so cautious."
It's OK as long as he doesn't mind He Lingchuan's harsh words.
"You are right. After the Tianluo Star lights up, the living beings on earth become the third party in the battle between immortals and demons. They are the huge variable that can determine the success or failure of immortals and demons. To put it bluntly, the demons can win in this long-term race because they have found a way to get along with humans, but Lingshan has not."
"How to get along?" Actually, that's what Xin Yi wanted to say. After hearing these four words, he probably understood He Lingchuan's approach.
"The world is bustling with people, all for profit." He Lingchuan was direct when it was time to be direct, and he didn't keep him waiting any longer. "The essence of what immortals and demons need is spiritual energy, but the sky demons collect nightmare energy through Tianluo Star. Most of the time, they don't compete with Beijia for profit, but rely on it to create nightmare energy."
"On the other hand, Lingshan needs support from the people. Money, materials, and black crystals are all needed." He Lingchuan said with a smile, "To put it bluntly, this is called competing with the people for profits, because all the demands of Lingshan will eventually be shared by all living beings."
This was not a pleasant thing to say, Xin Yi rubbed his nose. Is this brat so direct?
"When demons get along with humans, they use each other for mutual benefit; when immortals get along with humans, they compete for benefits. Mr. Xin, which way do you think can last long?"
Xin Yi went to the side and picked up the cabbage box again, taking a bite. "Can your method change this situation?"
This pattern is a stubborn disease. The immortals are of course aware that it is not right, but they are powerless to improve it. To maintain their existence, they need a lot of support. For example, how much power of living beings does it take to support an inverted sea?
If you poke someone's sore spot, you have to prescribe medicine. Otherwise, no matter how good Xin Yi's temper is, he will be dissatisfied with He Lingchuan's abruptness.
"There is a good chance." He Lingchuan said softly, "If it was seven or eight years ago, this method might not be very useful, because the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is declining, the human world is dead, and the sacred mountains and the people are in a competitive relationship, fighting for the limited spiritual energy. If the immortals absorb more spiritual energy, the people will lack a little livelihood."
He sighed: "In fact, isn't the current unhappiness between Lingshan and Panlong City also caused by this?"
Lingshan asked for too much support, and Panlong City would not be happy even if it gave it this time. These losses would be passed on to the people sooner or later, and Panlong City would not be able to bear it sooner or later, and the two sides would eventually break up.
This scene should be common in history.
"Panlong City has worked hard to give, and Lingshan feels aggrieved, thinking that they don't get much. This is a dispute over stock, which was difficult to resolve under the previous environment." He Lingchuan said seriously, "But the Emperor's Flowing Slurry has been erupting in the past two years, and it seems that there is no sign of stopping. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for Panlong City and Lingshan! We will finally have the opportunity to stop fighting each other and ride the same boat to ride the wave!"
Xin Yi pondered in silence.
"Mr. Xin, we should demand dividends from development." He Lingchuan leaned forward slightly. "When the water rises, all boats rise. According to the method we proposed, as long as Panlong City develops, becomes rich and prosperous, and the population prospers, Lingshan's profits will also rise steadily, and there will be no need to take away the benefits of the people. You see, the relationship between Lingshan and Panlong City, and between the immortals and the common people, will be much healthier, right?"
"Only mutual benefit and health can last long." He Lingchuan said seriously, "To go further, today, the battle between immortals and demons is no longer simply a confrontation of magic and supernatural powers, but a battle of systems, that is, a battle of regulations and laws. Whoever's system is more adapted to the current laws of heaven and earth will have the upper hand in the confrontation."
The word "system" made Xin Yi shocked.
