603 Martial Dao Academy, Education
A hundred years passed quickly.
In the past hundred years, Hong Fugui had not begun to unify the world.
Instead, he had been refining the power of the Human Emperor accumulated in his body to stabilize his cultivation realm.
This power belonged to a single person’s world. If one wanted to modify the rules of a world with the intention of changing the world and establishing new rules, they had to have enough strength.
However, although Hong Fugui had not begun to unify the Immortal Land, he had organized the disputes between the overlords of the seven kingdoms.
Moreover, every ten years, he would ask them to report to the Central Capital’s Imperial City and report on the results of managing the country in the past ten years.
In this way, although the world had yet to be unified, the lives of ordinary low-level humans were getting better and better.
The entire Immortal Land had entered an unprecedented period of peace.
At this moment, in the Human Emperor Palace, Hong Fugui was reading the reports sent by the various countries.
He realized that the various places were flourishing, and the lives of ordinary people were getting better and better.
“They’re all thriving.” Hong Fugui smiled and closed the report. Then, he looked at Wang Ren, who was standing at the side. “What do you think of the current situation in the world?”
This Wang Ren was the former Human Emperor.
Now, Hong Fugui had already kept him by his side as a minister to assist in political affairs.
The Lord of the Immortals also used the alias Zhu Xian, but he did not hold any positions in the capital. He was mainly in charge of dealing with the Immortal Race.
If Hong Fugui wanted to reform this Immortal Land, he could not just unify the land.
He had to include the vast sea as well.
At this moment, Wang Ren was standing beside Hong Fugui. Hong Fugui had already told him about the current situation of the seven kingdoms in the world and the Chen and Jing Kingdoms.
This situation where the people of the nine countries were living and working in peace made him a little worried.
“Your Majesty, in the past hundred years, the various countries have stopped fighting, and the lives of ordinary people have become stable…” Wang Ren said in a low voice. “I’m afraid this is not conducive to your plan of unification.”
As Hong Fugui’s minister, he naturally knew about Hong Fugui’s plan.
Moreover, in the past hundred years or so, he had already been convinced by Hong Fugui and began to sincerely help him.
Of course, he was also afraid of “Cui Qing’s” power.
Therefore, after realizing that the current situation of the nine countries might cause difficulties for Hong Fugui’s plan, he immediately became worried.
“Oh? You mean that in order to unify the world, I should intensify the previous conflicts between the various countries and make it even more difficult for ordinary people to live?”
Hong Fugui’s eyes narrowed slightly as he shook his head gently and said, “The reason why I want to unify the world is because I want the ordinary people at the bottom to live a better life. How can I push them into the sea of suffering for the sake of unification?”
“I’ve spoken out of place.” Wang Ren hurriedly bowed and apologized.
“There’s no need.” Hong Fugui casually raised his hand and stopped Wang Ren. He said indifferently, “I know what you mean, and I also know that you’re worried that my unification plan will be affected.
Moreover, in the past hundred years, I’ve rarely spoken to you. It’s normal for you to not agree with my opinion, so I don’t blame you. But if there’s a next time, I’ll report your deeds to Teacher.”
“Thank you, Your Majesty!” Wang Ren was instantly grateful.
He knew very well that the reason why he could live until now was because he was still useful to “Cui Qing” and “Hongwu”.
If he was useless, he would definitely die.
Clearly, those who could not understand the true thoughts and intentions of the higher-ups were useless people.
“This time, I’ll make it clear to you. Remember it in your heart.”
Hong Fugui stood up and walked to the door of the palace. He stood with his hands behind his back and seemed to be looking at the endless land in front of him. “The lives of the people of the nine countries are very stable now. They’re much stronger than before. You’re right in this regard.
But living a stable life doesn’t mean that there won’t be resentment in their hearts. There will still be people who complain, suffer, or are dissatisfied with the current situation.
In fact, there will always be conflicts between two groups. They are two completely different classes with clear differences in status, and the passage between classes has been closed.”
“You mean…” At this moment, Wang Ren finally understood what Hong Fugui meant and said in realization, “Although the lives of ordinary people are stable on the surface, compared to them, the pressure from above still exists.
Moreover, this oppression is eternal. It’s impossible for there to be any turning point because ordinary people can’t obtain normal cultivation methods. There’s no possibility of overturning this oppression.”
As long as the people in the Immortal Land reached adulthood, they would become Limitless Golden Immortals. There were also basic martial techniques that could be cultivated to the Eighth Realm of the Immortal World.
However, the higher-level martial techniques were strictly controlled by the nobles of the various countries. It was impossible for ordinary people to come into contact with them.
“That’s right.” Hong Fugui nodded and said solemnly, “After the basic survival problem is guaranteed, people will naturally pursue higher goals. It’s only natural for them to hate this kind of oppression.
This is the hearts of the people. When I was in the mortal world a few years ago, I heard a saying, ‘The world belongs to those who obtain the hearts of the people’. It’s still the same principle here.
The hierarchical conflict between the nobles and ordinary people, as well as the continued oppression from a long time ago, is my opportunity to unify the nine countries, and also the source of my ability to unify the nine countries.
Normally speaking, the people of the nine countries have different cultures, different customs, and different habits. They even have hatred for each other. It’s as difficult as ascending to the heavens to unite them.
But from another perspective, if all the ordinary people in the nine countries are facing the same oppression and conflict, they can work together against a common enemy.”
