Chapter 23 Su Zhou took a deep breath (6000)(1/2)
To enslave a nation, it is necessary to erase their civilization, destroy their faith, rewrite their history, change their words, and make them unable to remember the glory of the past, and then use the toughest techniques to break their pride as a wise life, let them kneel down and sincerely believe that they are the slaves of others.
But such slavery is missing, because no matter how it is erased, destroyed, rewritten, or replaced, as long as there are such a tiny gap and some opportunities, there will always be people who will pick up their dignity and pride from the lost historical books and the legends passed down from word of mouth, and then raise the banner of resistance.
This is the will imprinted in the blood of a civilization, completely destroying it is far easier than completely enslaving it.
But if one race, many races, have no history that can awaken the people, and since its birth, they have been slaves and food to another class... Does that mean that they are destined to be doomed and will be slaves forever?
This is of course.
Because they have not yet known the taste of freedom, they believe that obedience is the supreme truth.
The divine beasts control everything in the beast world. The fighting spirit beasts are responsible for fighting and working for the divine beasts and ruling the lower-level civilians. The production spirit beasts are responsible for serving the upper second class and producing processed products. The slaves produce the lower-level means of production. The dedication seeds are even more flesh and blood crops.
In the past, the ancestors of the divine beasts must be intelligent, patient, visionary, and truly understand the concept of "civilization". As disciples of immortals and gods, they have definitely become masters. They must have fully understood the civilization structure and future picture taught to them by the immortals and gods, and know what the model of "human civilization" should be.
However, because of their incomparable understanding, after long-term thinking, they denied such a future, became them again, and chose to create such an ultimately unequal world that appeared in the Beast God Realm.
——Because this is not in line with the interests of the divine beast class.
The order given by the immortals and gods will weaken the rights and interests of the divine beasts and make them only relatively powerful individuals. Although the divine beasts are still the most privileged group of privileged people for the leaders of civilization, in this way they are not the supreme kings.
I originally had to eat as much as I wanted, and I could kill as I wanted. All the rights to travel around the world were shackles. The desire to hunt other wild beasts at will could no longer be released.
Therefore, the divine beasts are absolutely unwilling to do this, even if they are sealed by the immortals and gods in the beast god realm and cannot go to the outside world for a long time.
However, divine beasts are greedy, and the benefits of civilization and wisdom are naturally understood. It is better to be an ordinary person in modern society than to be a chief among a group of primitive people. Similarly, it is better to open up some knowledge to other spirit beasts and let them build themselves a "order" for divine beasts.
The efficiency of exploitation is that it has progressed with the progress of the times. If you devour the spirit beasts as you wish, they will be afraid of them, allowing them to gather together to resist, making it extremely difficult to eat... It is better to win over a faction, suppress another faction, let the subordinates deal with themselves, and let the slaves enslave themselves with their own hearts.
As long as there is no external force, such order will continue... until the end of the world.
But now.
Su Zhou, an invasive alien species, came to this land.
The huge dragon stared at the direction where many divine beasts gathered in the distance. He walked in the direction where he had been before, without any concealment.
He released his momentum freely and changed the color of the heaven and earth.
The strong wind swept through the water vapor, gathering into layers of thick rain clouds on the head of the wingless dragon, and the high-temperature spiritual power condensed on its body surface and transmitted to its feet, and burning footprints were imprinted on the soles of the feet... The existence of extraordinary life requires a special environment. Some dragons live in the ozone layer and feed on meteorites, while some dragons live in volcanoes and use lava as nests. These are the environments they need. If not, they will become weak.
But a truly powerful life is not to adapt to the environment, but to adapt to yourself.
The clouds and rain - the "action" itself can bring cloudy and heavy rain all over the sky.
Boom - Thunder lightning flashed in the sky, and you can see that with the wreckage of the main tree as the starting point, the extremely thick rain clouds are generating and drifting all the way. Between the surging water vapor, strong wind and thunder, the dragon power and spiritual pressure, which is as hot as fire and as natural disasters, is spreading, and all fighting spirit beasts along the way are fleeing in the wind.
“Yes, it’s the Lord…”
"It's a master of the scale clan. Why do I feel that he is stronger than the king and the Lord of the Dragon!?"
"No, we cannot participate in the battle between the Lord Lords, run, run!"
In the past, in order to curb the resistance of the spirit beasts, the divine beasts instilled a sense of fear in their sense of fear in generations, and at this time they once again played a role. If they were not so afraid and obedient, then the Zhengguo Operation Team would not have been able to obtain a large amount of relevant information from the beginning and then choose the correct way of action.
Walking like this, Su Zhou quickly arrived at a planting manor they had seen before.
The divine beasts only eat spiritual flesh or fruits and vegetables. Although the combat species will be reduced in specifications, they will not be short of food. Therefore, ordinary grains and other plants are all for the lower class. But even so, the divine beasts will often collect taxes and store a large amount of food and wealth from the lower class. This is to ensure that the lower class cannot store a large amount of wealth, and then become rich, learn to trade, rest and any other skills that will free them from labor.
The existence of the lower class means working until death... As for being really starved to death? Hi, isn't that a good thing? You know, the beasts rise too quickly. Don't starve to death, eat more, and consume with war. Then, even in the ordinary race, powerful seeds will be born.
The Beast God Realm does not need powerful lower classes, nor does it need more divine beasts.
Therefore, Su Zhou, who was acting silently, saw that there was no grain in the warehouse in this kind of planting manor, and all the old, weak, women and children were unable to escape. Because he knew that he would come, Su Zhou advanced to the front of the track, in order to minimize losses, he temporarily evacuated a group of people and all the grain. It was fine if he could not take it away.
“Lord…”
“Lord…”
The adult male spirit beast had long been summoned away in the warning just now, and all the remaining women and children lay on the ground tremblingly, paying homage to him, the "Master Lord".
Su Zhou even saw a huge pig producing a spirit beast, holding up his young boy who was not yet one year old, as if he wanted to dedicate it to Su Zhou. Its expression was numb and his movements were proficient, and it seemed that he had done many similar movements.
In his eyes, the huge pig spirit beasts, and other spirit beasts that are all without any human form around them, are life and wise lives. For Su Zhou, this is a mother who dedicates her young daughter to the "Lord" they believe in.
Pigs are not inherently intelligent, and they are actually more difficult to gain weight, so most pigs are slaves and produce seeds.
This pig-like spirit beast seems to have just given birth, but there are no other young people around you and no spouse. I think it must have been evacuated in the previous warning. Judging from the skillful dedication movement, the answer is naturally self-evident. Su Zhou is now very familiar with this system of "dedication" and "blessing".
In response to this, Su Zhou closed his eyes slightly and sighed in his heart. Then he opened his eyes and glanced at the purple dragon pupils in front of him. He did not sense obvious "resistance", "hatred", and "anger", but only sensed "obedience", "numbness", "sadness" and "confusion".
The only point - the only point that can be called "unwilling" comes from the pig spirit beast that lifts its young boy high. It is a kind of crude thing, requiring a mother to give up her child to dedicate other lives, and the unwillingness of biological instinct. Long-term brainwashing and cultural influence allow this spirit beast to take this action naturally, but an instinct derived from the blood root cannot be completely cut off.
This cannot be called "love", it can only be called pure "unwillingness".
And because of this unwillingness, Su Zhou, who had planned to leave the manor, stopped.
"You are wise lives."
Su Zhou said this, and the wingless dragon lowered his head and looked down at the 'small beasts'. He said kindly: "Do you still want to continue living such a life?"
"Life...continue?"
All beasts are confused. They do not understand what life is, nor can they understand what continuing is. Serve the divine beasts is the only purpose of their life.
If he interacted freely with the freedom of choice to a slave who had never experienced the wanton running, he would just throw him aside, lock himself up in shackles and return to his familiar cage.
Seeing this, Su Zhou smiled and changed his statement.
"I'll give you a choice."
The Demon-Devouring Lord extended his two huge dragon claws toward the beasts in front of him.
In one of the dragon claws, there were deep purple flames burning, and the magic fire burned, like destruction burning in the abyss, and the flames rising from the ruins contained cruelty, ferociousness, fear, murderous intent and all the wills that could be called malicious. The dark curse lingers the magic fire burning, tinging all the eyes that observe them.
In the other dragon claw, a sky-blue light flashed gently, just like the dawn that appears every morning, like the bright moonlight on a cloudless night, all desires, prayers, hopes, and curious wishes for the future are all rotated in the light, and the power of wishes that cannot be clearly observed is shining like stars.
"Please, ask me for help, pay the price, let me bring you a different future."
"Or, let everything stay the same, I just leave and do what I want to do."
Su Zhou's will penetrate deep into the souls of all the spirit beasts present, and they can clearly understand the meaning of every word he said.
"Many people hate asking for help and think that this is a cowardly act that proves that they are not capable of. However, asking for help is not a shameful thing. Drowning people need help, and those who are deeply trapped in the fire also need help. Although there will be guys who work on rescue to rescue those people, now it seems that there is no such person in your world."
"But it happened that I'm here."
In the eyes of all the spirit beasts, Su Zhou's giant dragon body became taller. He was like a judge who had the result of judging reincarnation, and also like an existence that transcended some reincarnation - a huge immortal dragon, an individual who disliked reincarnation. Su Zhou, patiently, he was trembling with the many spirit beasts that had begun to tremble, had already begun to ‘think’, and had already begun to make a choice, and said, “So ask for help. As long as you are willing to ask for help, it proves that you want to change, no matter whether others can hear it, but for you, it always makes sense.”
Just as the snake in Eden bewitched the wise and foolish original people to take off the divine fruit that has the right to "distinguish good and evil" and "have choice".
Immediately afterwards, there was a long silence.
Even if you say so clearly, life that has been enslaved for too long cannot untie the shackles in your heart.
After this long silence, Su Zhou, who was somewhat disappointed, issued the final notice.
"If you don't even think that everything you have experienced is evil, and you don't think that you are oppressed. You all think that you, your young, your relatives deserve to be swallowed by the divine beast and exploited by the divine beast."
"Then I have nothing to say, I can only go over and kill them all."
After saying that, he turned around and again towards the direction where the divine beasts gathered, preparing to leave with great strides.
"But... the great Lord..."
And the other one gave his young ones numbly and handed them over to other combat species and pig spirit beasts in the hands of the divine beasts. A mother who was "unwilling tolerated" looked at Su Zhou's back with a confused tone and asked in a good way: "Is there any difference between all you said?"
The Wingless Dragon turned his head, opened his mouth full of sharp teeth, and smiled and said, "Of course there is."
"You have a wish and pray to me."
"I echo your wish, which is to help you ask for help, a helping hand for the stronger to the weak, and a help from the pioneer to the later - I hope that when I am weak and fall into despair, I can be helped by others, so I will help you. This is called empathy."
"And I took action for no reason when you are chaotic. This is called the strong's way of doing what the weak will do, and the inexplicable way of being happy. This behavior itself is a kind of reckless act."
"Of course, both of them are me, and I don't care. Just as the positive and negative lines of paper, the dividing line between good and evil, the retribution of revenge and the prayer of vows, they are all part of me. And what kind of me can be seen depends on you."
In this regard, the "mother beast" does not understand everything. It has enough intelligence, but its education is far from enough.
But even so, it can make a choice based on the unwillingness in its heart.
No... Since you can make a choice, it proves that it is no longer an ignorant beast, but has begun to pursue 'better' and 'change' intelligent life.
So she replied, "I want to."
The "mother"'s mind flashed with her life, and the past of enduring the wind and rain in the crude nest, the cold rain and snow, and the body that often made a noise and bowed her head and coughed, she could always recall all the crops that would be taken away, the food ratio that would never be enough to eat, and after long-term pregnancy, she would always give to all the superiors and the Lord, the newly born young boys.
The superiors and the Lord are actually not short of food. There are also some pigs in the dedication seeds. Those pure wild beasts are even stronger than these spirit beasts. But they always say that ordinary, soulless and wisdom suckling pigs taste unpleasant, and they are indeed still alive to eat young spirit beasts, so that they can taste a different unique taste.
"I want to change... Lord Lord, I want to change..."
So, she lay down on the ground and begged to Su Zhou: "But, I have nothing, I can't give any price..."
"Anything is OK."
Su Zhou said casually: "As long as you think something is meaningful, it's OK."
The mother searched her whole body and found nothing that could be called meaningful. However, Su Zhou looked at the little spirit beast beside her curiously. She was picking up a grain of wheat from the ground, which was one of the crops planted in the entire plantation. The grain of wheat on the ground might be the ones that fell from the battle seeds when the tax was collected.
Noting Su Zhou's gaze, the little spirit beast that had been offered to Su Zhou as blood food before, suddenly shuddered. It subconsciously raised its hands instinctively and dedicated this "wheat grain" to Su Zhou.
——Is it already carved into my bones?
After realizing this instinct, the smile on Su Zhou's face disappeared again. He nodded slightly, nodded, and then stretched out a huge dragon claw, which was even larger than the little spirit beast itself, and gently took the wheat grain from the other party's hand.
To be continued...
