Liu Yu said in a deep voice: "Mobilizing and organizing large-scale human resources to engage in necessary large-scale projects and projects is not a tyranny. Just like the Qin State you mentioned, the Great Wall was built to defend the country and resist the nomadic robbers in the north. Although it was hard and tiring, it was not a tyranny. But if it was to repair Qin Shihuang's personal tomb, it was useless and damaged by money, and millions of human resources were used, and the deceased had to be buried alive, and even craftsmen were buried alive. This was tyranny, and this was a traitor who abused the people's power and harmed the people for their own selfishness. Even Qin Shihuang, such a practice was absolutely wrong and unacceptable."

The ancestor sneered: "Can you rulers in your later generations, those who are so-called chosen for the people, have no tombs after death? Then the country or the people of the world will not bury them?"

Liu Yu shook his head: "As leaders, especially those who have contributed to the country and are highly respected and loved by the Chinese people, we will perform state funerals for them, but unlike this era, we need to build large projects and use hundreds of thousands of people to build huge graves for them, and also have various anti-tomb robbery projects. In our era, burials were no longer popular. From national leaders to common people, they had to be cremated after death, and then the ashes were placed in an urn the size of an ordinary box and buried in a very small cemetery, at most a few feet square. In about a hundred years, these urns naturally degrade, and the relatives of the deceased within three generations often passed away. This is what it means to end one after another."

The ancestor frowned: "Is there no cemetery left? Is it still burned to ashes? Are you from later generations so disrespectful to your ancestors?"

Liu Yu said calmly: "Is it necessary to occupy a large area of ​​land to respect our ancestors? After three generations, there are five squads and relatives, and they need sacrifices. After three generations, there are basically no need to visit the tombs every year. Isn't this the same in this era? Those emperors, generals, officials and nobles want to live the same luxurious life as before after death, so they need so many burial objects, and even to be buried with people. In order to fear the tomb robbers to excavate their graves, they have to arrange a lot of mechanisms, which requires too much space. If it is an ordinary citizen, even if it is buried, it is just a few feet of coffins. How much land can it occupy? A hundred years later, will it still turn into dust and become fertilizer for the earth, and return to the world?"

The ancestor said coldly: "This is the worship and sacrifice of ancestors since ancient times. When the magic power was sufficient, a grand funeral and some rituals could allow these kings to ascend to immortality and become gods. In fact, you should understand now that human souls are the essence and spiritual energy of heaven and earth. The kings on earth who are proficient in magic can absorb these souls, that is, the essence of the world, and become gods after death. This is a common method used by ancient kings or nobles. Of course, not every time they succeed or fail, and cannot become gods, the kings who cannot become gods account for the majority."

Liu Yu nodded: "So, for the sake of becoming a god and an immortal, to abuse the power of the people, to build a tomb for decades, and since ascending the throne, it has been practicing it, and it has been consuming countless manpower and material resources, causing the death of thousands of workers, just for him to have the opportunity to become a god and an immortal. Such a virtuous thing, if Gan Tianhe is, I am afraid that even if you become a god, you will be an evil god like you, who will harm the world before you die. After you die, you will continue to use witchcraft and evil magic to influence the world, force your descendants to continue to sacrifice to them, and use the souls of human beings as their food to continue to survive. Old demons, evil demons like you should be destroyed in form and spirit, and will never be reborn!"

The ancestor sneered: "But after all, we have become gods and ascended to immortals, and have supreme magic power. By enjoying the souls sacrificed by future generations, we can continue to understand the development of future generations, so that we can learn new magic and elixirs to adapt to the needs of the new era. After all, if we cannot give future generations a realistic return, how could they work so hard to sacrifice their ancestors? People worship their ancestors and believe in gods because they want to get what they want from their ancestors and gods. Since some gods and immortals in the ancient times taught their descendants various ways of survival, they learned to use water and fire to make tools to defeat wild beasts that are far stronger than mortals, humans have formed this kind of worship of ancestors and gods."

"They attributed their survival to the blessing of their ancestors and the preference of the gods. After their ancestors and gods knew how to survive, they also informed the descendants of mankind in various ways how to conduct sacrifice rituals. This is the relationship between the complementary ancestors and descendants, which is the filial piety that our people in the Central Plains Chinese talk about. Liu Yu, don't you talk about filial piety or loyalty or righteousness?"

Liu Yu said with a sigh: "Filialty? Loyalty and righteousness? Is it called filial piety? Slaughtering people in the country just to sacrifice their ancestors, and they don't even cherish living people, but they want to sacrifice to the dead. This is called loyalty and righteousness? Whether it is a country or a tribe, it has never existed in one family, but only for the king. Its existence is to protect the interests of all tribesmen. Even if it is an enemy, a prisoner of war or a slave, as long as it surrenders, it should be regarded as a member of the people of the country. They are for this

If a tribe provides labor and contributes to this country, it should ensure its basic life. Even if the descendants or slaves are born, it is also a precious human resource for the country. How can it be slaughtered like animals and sacrificed as sacrifices for those dead ancestors? Are the gods who first passed on various magic and technology to their descendants so that they could bless their tribesmen and descendants to their descendants in order to let their descendants do these things?”
