Chapter 215 An extreme turning point!

"What? Are we going to ban the mining of spirit stones?!"

"It's the Emperor's decree!"

As soon as the decree was issued, the people in charge of mining spirit stones in the major cities were stunned:
"No... If we don't dig up spiritual stones, how can we supply the consumption of each city?"

"If we don't use spirit stones, do we have to learn to eat people like the outsiders?"

"No... the above means that we are not allowed to dig spiritual stones or eat people... and we also forbid mortals from cultivating immortals..."

"..."

Damn it, how can I become an immortal by then?
Countless people began to curse, but they did not dare to curse the Emperor of Heaven, so they could only curse Xuandu, Dijun, Guangchengzi...

The influence of this decree had just begun. As the borough masters at all levels enforced it with their noses pinched, almost everyone from top to bottom was cursing:
Those who grow elixirs are cursed, those who raise spiritual beasts are cursed, those who refine pills are cursed, those who refine weapons are cursed, those who set up formations are cursed, and the civilians are cursed even more!

He had to curse, because this edict was a joke against heaven, and with one shovel he dug into the lifeblood of the Blood Sea monk.

Without spiritual stones and being forbidden to eat humans, how can we survive? Can we still open various industries? Can we still cultivate immortality?

A single stone caused a thousand waves, and the markets in the sea of ​​blood went into an uproar:

Those with a better attitude petitioned and pleaded with their superiors, trying to ask the Emperor of Heaven to revoke his decision.

Those with a bad mentality are almost about to rebel!
"This is an irrational order, I will never obey it!"

[Faced with the disobedience of the lower classes, the towns and cities at all levels are at a loss: suppressing them is not right, nor is tolerating them... To suppress them is to destroy one's own martial arts, and tolerating them is to fight against the Blood Sea Heaven Court, both of which are ways to death! ]

[The former local governors were almost crying with anxiety. In the dilemma of being caught between a rock and a hard place, they had no choice but to ask the Blood Sea Heavenly Court for instructions: Should they execute the order? ]

[So, documents and memorials from all parties flew into the heavenly palace like snowflakes...]

[Faced with this helpless request, the Heavenly Court responded coldly with only one sentence: "If you don't execute it, there are plenty of people who will."]

[This blatant threat silenced everyone: Okay! Since that’s what we’ve said, for the sake of our lives and property, we have to carry out the order no matter how outrageous it is!]

[After all, they are ministers directly under the Emperor of Heaven. Under the control of the Blood God Son, no matter from the perspective of strength or loyalty, they cannot possibly do something like "Southeast Mutual Protection"...]

[Damn it, just think of it as accompanying the Emperor of Heaven to go crazy! ]

[As a result, the lords of all levels closed down the public mines and sealed up the private mines, dealing a devastating blow to the spirit stone mining industry! ]

[After the top did this, the people below who had originally held out hope were all speechless...]

[Soon, protests broke out in various places one after another. Protesters shouted protest slogans and marched to petition the Heavenly Court, asking the wise and powerful Emperor of Heaven to cancel this unreasonable decree! ]

[However, the usually peaceful and benevolent Emperor of Heaven did not know what was wrong this time. He not only rejected the people's petition, but also sent heavenly soldiers and generals to various places to suppress the people. Under the absolute power advantage, the protesting people, who were not even immortals, could only collapse after suffering a small number of casualties.]

[In the prehistoric world, power is everything. Those who failed in their protest had no choice but to obey. Even if this deceitful edict was against the will of heaven, they had no choice but to accept it... But in this way, the immortals would still be fine, but ordinary cultivators could only wait in despair for death...]

[Jin Bing watched all this happen with his own eyes, feeling hopeless and dizzy: Are you, a powerful official who was parachuted in, a normal person?!]

[“Which road are you going to take us to?”]

[Jin Bing on the throne questioned you angrily, but you remained calm and even sighed: I thought everyone in the blood sea was tough, but after so few people died, you decided not to continue fighting...]

【you! ! ! 】

[Jin Bing stares at you with his eyes wide open: You think you haven’t died enough?! ]

[“They are all kind people, innocent people who just want to live peacefully in the sea of ​​blood. Why do you treat them so cruelly!”]

[Faced with Jin Bing's roar, you sneered: "Innocent? The innocence of eating human souls?"]

[“If they don’t eat, can they all be resurrected?”]

[Jin Bing simply gave up and didn't care about his own safety at all, as if he had really become one with the ancient Jin Tiandi.]

[While worrying about the safety of the creatures in the sea of ​​blood, he cursed with righteousness: "They are already dead! Why don't you reuse them? What's wrong with this!"]

[“No matter how justified the dead are, they cannot stand in the way of the living! This is the simplest law of nature. Even if the Taoist master comes, this law of nature will not change!”]

[“If you want to seize power, then seize power. What does it matter if I give you the sea of ​​blood? I’m going to Shangshouyang Mountain!”]

[Jin Bing's scolding can shock people, but you are the only one who can be an exception. You are calm and just sneer: "No matter how much you talk, you are still cannibalizing me!"]

[“Don’t think that just because you have the title of Golden Emperor, you can always dominate the world. I won’t fall for it!”]

[“No matter how high-sounding your words are, I only recognize one principle: you must not eat human beings!”]

[Jin Bing was so angry at your extreme words that he was speechless. He cursed in a rage: "Do you think you are so noble? The reason why you can point fingers at us from the moral high ground is that your interests are not affected!"] ["You relied on the spiritual energy provided by the power of the great wilderness to cultivate to the Golden Immortal. You have a good family background. Naturally, you look down on our despicable means of cannibalism. Yet you still wield the big stick of morality to hit us..."]

[The angry Jin Bing asked a soul-searching question: "If you have the guts to throw away the power of the wild, I wonder if you dare to point fingers at us again!"]

[As soon as these words were spoken, the scene fell into silence...]

[Because this statement really hits your point accurately: all your moral justice is based on the power of the wild, so you always look down on the cannibalistic immortals everywhere. ]

[If you really grew up in an atmosphere of cannibalism, then your three views would naturally not be as extreme as they are now. The world has deviated to this point. Without the power of the wild outside, how can you stay out of it? ]

[If you make a few assumptions, you can come up with the answer: In fact, the reason why the Honghuang Immortal Dao has come to this point is that it is forced to adapt to the times. If it does not adapt, it will be eliminated. ]

【Since the end of the Dharma, is there really no one who has a heart as pure in righteousness as you? 】

[The answer is definitely yes! ]

[However, they were all eliminated by the cruel reality: justice that is not in line with the world is like a rootless duckweed, or a flower in a mirror or a moon in the water. How can it last long? ]

[The ideal righteous person will either be distorted by reality or die...]

[And you, in fact, are an anomaly. Your chances have meant that you have never experienced the beatings of reality, like a delicate flower raised in a greenhouse... So to this world, all your thoughts and actions are so out of tune.]

[You slaughtered both the righteous and the evil, resisted the Zhongzhou model, and established the "Xuandu Heavenly Court"... Now you are banning the mining of spiritual stones in the Blood Sea and suppressing the reasonable demands of the people...]

[Any of the above things taken alone is a top-level act against heaven! ]

[Your thoughts and actions are actually leading the Honghuang Immortal Path into a hopeless dead end...]

【"you are wrong!"】

[Jin Bing saw the confusion and struggle in your eyes, and his stern tone softened. He advised you sincerely: Give up, this is a dead end... Justice is just its appearance, don't be fooled by appearances! ]

[“You are right to hate the cannibalism of both the righteous and the evil. I hate it too! So we chose the most harmless way to survive. Compared to eating the souls of living people, what’s wrong with eating the ghosts who have been dead in the sea of ​​blood for many years?”]

[“Child, you are still young, you don’t understand these principles… Compromise is helpless, but everything in the world is always full of compromises. It’s not that they want to compromise from the beginning, but only by compromising can they survive.”]

[“You have to learn to compromise… not only with others, but also with yourself. Let yourself go!”]

[Jin Bing's sincerity makes you feel moved: Let go... of myself...]

[Yes, your enemy is never this twisted world, but yourself! ]

[Everything is based on reality. When everyone in reality thinks that compromise is necessary, if you are the only one who refuses to compromise, and even indiscriminately attacks those who agree to compromise, then... you are the stumbling block standing in front of the tide of the times, and your only enemy is yourself...]

[Ding! You are lost, and the faith you have held for thousands of years can no longer help but begin to waver. You are unwilling to compromise with this twisted world, but the world requires you to compromise. If you do not compromise, all the monks except you will perish...]

[At this critical moment of fate, you decide to believe in "another self". You choose: (?) Please fill in freely! ]

"It's time to test the protagonist's life choices again..."

Seeing Xue Xuan finally face the choice of life in his second life, Zhao Si couldn't help but sigh:
Looking back to when Jin Bing formally established his own beliefs, it was also the middle of his second life.

Faced with the inevitable conflict between the human race and the demon race, and deeply plotted against by Emperor Jun, the little dragon was eventually forced to choose the human race with "humanism" and embarked on the self-destructive road of slaughtering the demon race...

Does Jin Bing know that his choice was wrong?

Of course he knew, but he had no choice, the arrow was on the string and had to be shot!

Let’s look at Jiao Ming. He was also tortured by life in his second life:

Should he watch the Third Ancestor become a saint, or start slaughtering people to become a saint himself?

yes or no?

Jiao Ming: or.

He didn't make any choice. After being forced to start a massacre to defeat the three ancestors, he committed suicide in front of Hongjun's embarrassed face!

In the third life, he was fragile and unlike the protagonist, so he made another choice, but ended up sacrificing himself again...

"And in a sense, Xue Xuan actually combines the characteristics of both. In terms of personality, he is more decisive than Jin Bing, and in terms of mentality, he is more easily shaken than Jiao Ming. This pirated Jin Bing just made a few words of persuasion and confused him!"

Zhao Si thought carefully:
"However, Xue Xuan also has one advantage. As the protagonist of the new story, he has a very open-minded attitude towards life, so he won't always think about sacrificing himself like Jiao Ming."

"On this basis, I can let him go to extremes in this life without worrying about him committing suicide. This will help him survive to the end and discover more information..."

Going to extremes, I'm familiar with this!
