Chapter 187 Identity and Mission
Under the command of the True God of the Crescent Moon Sect, the immortals of the Crescent Moon Sect were alert to the immortals of the Tang Dynasty and slowly retreated. They carried out the orders neatly without hesitation at all. Even the four guardians did not express any doubts.
It can be seen that in their hearts, the true God has supreme authority.
The distance of ninety miles is nothing to the immortal. Li Ye watched the other party retreat and did not order the immortals of the Tang Dynasty to pursue him immediately. To be fair, he was not very clear about the intention of the True God to do this, nor did he know whether the True God had other arrangements, which was to lure him into a trap.
What Li Ye can be sure of now is that the true God comes from the same place. At least, he is very familiar with the world where Li Ye once lived, or the history of that world. From this point of view, Li Ye is no different from Him.
The other party can detect the direction of the "Heavenly Qi Machine" in Teotihuacan City, which means that He knows and can feel more than Li Ye. In terms of information, the other party has an advantage.
To this day, Li Ye has a strong heart, and it is not an exaggeration to say that his heart is like iron and stone. Even when he reaches the desperate situation and reaches the verge of life and death, he will stick to his own thoughts and choices of the great way. Therefore, although the strangeness of the true god makes him afraid, it will not make him afraid.
This first meeting with the True God and the conversations with each other forced Li Ye to think more seriously and deeply about the issues he had thought about many times before.
Why did he come to this world? Why is this world so similar to the history of the world he came to? Except for the cultivation civilization and the territory, the two are exactly the same in any other place. There is no difference between mountains, rivers, terrain or historical events.
If Li Ye thought it was a parallel universe before, then now, he began to doubt this idea. Not to mention whether the parallel universe exists, even if there is one, the places that should not be exactly the same, and some places are completely different, and it is not that both him and the true god should have come here.
What exactly is the dragon energy in his body and where does it come from?
Whose work is the so-called Tianji? If it is "man-made", then what is the purpose of Tianji?
If there is a stronger existence behind this that dominates all this to a certain extent, then why did he come to the Tang Dynasty, not the Qin and Han Dynasties, not the Song and Yuan Dynasties, not the Ming and Qing Dynasties?
What Li Ye can be sure of is that the world he came to is real, and the world is also real at the moment. Since he overwhelmed the heroes in this world and revived the Tang Dynasty, history has changed. Not only did the Tang Dynasty change, but the Dashi also change, and the world is being changed by him.
In the world he came to, there were no gods or immortals. It was a world of technological civilization, not a civilization of cultivation. All sects rely on thoughts, consciousness, control people, and gather people's groups without actual power as backing. Since the two worlds are the same in other aspects, why are they completely different in this regard?
Is this a parallel universe? If not, what does it mean?
"What does this war between Datang and Dashi mean?" Li Ye looked at the retreat of Dashi Immortal, and the thoughtful look in his eyes became stronger.
If he had not come from that world, he would not have thought that the Tang Dynasty would remove all the burdens on it and that the whole nation would go into battle lightly - that is, to prevent the exploitation and exploitation of the people by powerful officials.
He knew that only in this way could the potential of every people be stimulated to the greatest extent, the national strength would be stronger, the greater challenges could be met, and the broader world.
But whether his own path is correct, Li Ye only firmly believes in this concept and idea. After all, even he has never seen such a world.
To build a new era, there must be turmoil.
If you want to obtain the happiness of civilization, you must go through the pain of civilization. This is an inevitable rule.
"Brother Ye, what are you thinking?" The princess - Wu You, who should be called Queen now, came to Li Ye and saw that his face was not very good-looking, so she asked with her bright eyes with her big eyes.
Li Ye shook his head, dispelled the mixed thoughts in his mind, and said slowly: "I am thinking about reform - have I done something wrong?"
There is a word that cannot be said, and Wu You may not understand it even if you say it, so you can only say it as a reform.
The new policy now implemented by the Tang Dynasty is of course reform, and it is a fundamental reform. The core of it is to practice the exercises in general, and to make the people read and know books, and not to imprison their thoughts, so that they can also have wisdom while having force.
If force is not as a prerequisite for wisdom, it will only turn into violence.
If wisdom is not supported by force, it can only become a heresy.
Wu You said strangely: "What's wrong? Because of the reform, the Tang Dynasty is now unprecedentedly strong. Every Tang Dynasty man is fighting for the prosperity of his country. Even if the purpose of many people is not to serve the country loyally, but to make themselves live a better life, with the order set by Brother Ye, the power of the people will eventually gather into the national strength of the Tang Dynasty.
"It is precisely because of this that the Tang Dynasty's Western Expedition was invincible.
"This is like Shang Yang's reform. Shang Jun's reform in Qin made slaves a citizen, fairly reward farming and war, and prevented the nobles from gaining nothing and unearthing the roots. Isn't it just to remove the burden of raising the people of the people and prevent them from being exploited by the nobles, thus stimulating the potential of the people, which makes the Qin Dynasty invincible?
Speaking of this, her little face was a little dismal, "But, after the Qin Dynasty, Qin law was not fully inherited. In the subsequent dynasties, the powerful and officials were not effectively restrained, and land annexation and wealth invasion could not be cut off. This led to the people still suffering and gradually becoming more difficult until they could not live. So the rebel army emerged and the dynasties changed."
After saying this, she became excited again and looked at Li Ye with her eyes shining, "But Brother Ye's reform has made every Tang people fair, which is in line with Shang Jun's reform. Shang Jun can make the Qin Dynasty stronger than the Warring States Period, and Brother Ye can naturally make the Tang Dynasty dominate the world!"
Hearing this, Li Ye was shocked.
If you think about it carefully, this is indeed the case.
Shang Yang's reforms, after all, did stimulate the potential of the people, which was the unparalleled national strength of the Qin Dynasty.
He immediately thought that in the world where he came, a great empire with a country of only more than two hundred years was just an ordinary country when it was just established. Later, slavery was abolished and the same fairness as everyone was guaranteed, which became an existence overlooking the heroes.
The reforms in the world are not only different paths and the same end, but also the general trend and the law of the times moving forward.
As for the unrest caused by the reform, what is Li Ye afraid of? He is the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty and the Lord of the Heaven and Earth of the Tang Dynasty. He has the cultivation of the Emperor and suppresses the dynasty and his personal strength is unparalleled. In front of him, there will be no chance for a slutty or foolish person to create a big turmoil!
Realizing this, Li Ye's haze instantly dissipated. He felt that the clouds were clearing and he had no hesitation any more. He stroked Wu You's little head and smiled happily and gently, "The queen can have such insights, she deserves to be my good friend!"
Wu You immediately smiled so much that his eyes were filled with beautiful Yueya'er.
......
The retreat of ninety miles was the respect given to Li Ye by the True God of the Crescent Sect, otherwise he would not have to choose this distance. But at the same time, He also needed to exchange space for time to think about some of the doubts Li Ye brought to him.
"When I came, I didn't hear that there was a 'wall-faced person' in this world." In the lingering spiritual energy, the true god touched his delicate and smooth chin with a contemplative look on his face, "But Li Ye is clearly the same place as me, what's going on?"
Thinking of the plan of the Wall-Faceful Man, the True God couldn't help but sigh. He looked up at the vast sky, his star-like eyes were full of worries, "If it weren't for the barrier in this world that wouldn't have been opened before the mission was completed, and he could not have contacted 'civilization', I really want to ask why this is."
The Wall-Face Plan has been in progress for hundreds of years. Now it is time to produce results. As a Wall-Face Plan, his only task is to unify this world with the power of cultivation.
As a high-level existence, I certainly have to sit in the so-called fairyland. After all, the time flow here is the same as outside. Supporting a talent to walk in the mortal world can make it easier for me to control and monitor everything.
If you go to the mortal world by yourself and use the speed of time in the mortal world, things will be too trivial and the process will be too long, which will not help you to summarize the main points.
But now it seems that Li Ye is obviously in the mortal world - if he is a wall-faced person, he should also choose to stay in the Immortal Realm.
"This is not the most important thing. The key lies in two points. Li Ye chose to gather the power of the people and make the people become monks. This is not simply unifying this world, but changing the civilization in this world."
The true god's willow leaves frowned tightly, "In addition, the civilized power displayed by the Tang Dynasty in this war really scared me.
"I won't talk about the ferocious beasts and war horses, but it's just a purely cultivating civilization. But the white cow chariot, wolf-tooth military cannon, and the kind of bed crossbow called the Prince by the Tang people are not just spiritual stones and spiritual woods, rune arrays. Some of the construction and operation details are actually an improvement to the existing technological civilization in this world!
"But these things are extremely powerful and cause great trouble to Malen's army, especially the magic cannons, which can be controlled by Qi training monks, can actually kill priests! This kind of magic weapon that uses beyond the realm of the monks and has too much strength does not conform to the rules of cultivation civilization, but is a technique of scientific and technological civilization!"
Thinking of this, the true God couldn't help but feel a little upset.
"This is inconsistent with the plan of the wall-faced person! In the world of cultivation civilization, how can we use something from technological civilization? Li Ye, this guy ignores the laws of the wall-faced person, this... this is simply cheating!" The true god blushed in anger, and gritted his teeth in anger.
Whether Li Ye was changing the process of the Tang Dynasty civilization or mixing with technological civilization into the cultivation civilization, these were unexpected by the True God.
Perhaps, Li Ye is not a wall-faced person at all!
So who is he? Why did he appear here?
The true god can't understand.
But no matter what the situation is, to this day, He has no choice and no way out.
As the wall-faced person, He must accomplish His own tasks.
For the future of this world, and for the future of that civilization outside this world.
"In this world, in terms of sects and monks' strength, the Crescent Moon Sect is the strongest. Since I arrived in this world and took charge of the Crescent Moon Sect, after the efforts of Malen and I, the monks of the Crescent Moon Sect have been unprecedentedly powerful, and their true power is not as good as before.
"Under the existing laws, I believe I have done my best. Then, Li Ye, let me see if you, the strange number that appears inexplicably, can stop me from becoming the winner of this war and the only one who gives orders!"
