Chapter 573 Sneak Attack!
Six years have passed since the initial promotion of the witch silkworm.
Now, the creatures in the spirit silk world seem to be torn into two halves. Either there is an external pressure forcing them to unite, and if they cannot unite, then there will be a civil war.
So, either an external war or a civil war.
At this moment, there is another confrontation in the spirit silk world.
However, this confrontation is particularly grand, and one of the two parties in the confrontation is Mo Xiao.
Mo Xiao was the main promoter of the witch silkworm six years ago. Now he is also the backbone of the faction that supports the world's inexhaustibility, and his reputation is very high.
On the other side is another corresponding person. The other party also has his own chamber of commerce. Mo Xiao knows the other party. The other party used to support the witch silkworm, but... his world-class giant ship was looted by pirates.
This directly led to losing all his money. In the end, he was forced to start the magic weapon assembly line, and then he replenished the goods and did not breach the contract.
After that, he began to use the magic weapon assembly line more and more frequently. Until now, he has begun to fully support the magic weapon assembly line and agree to plunder more worlds outside. He even proposed to the world master to launch a great expedition to plunder the world, so that his almost exhausted world can be replaced and expand production capacity.
To be honest, Mo Xiao didn't know what the other party was thinking.
But it was obvious that the other party also felt that Mo Xiao was stubborn.
Since they couldn't understand each other, conflict was inevitable.
At the scene of the conflict:
"Resist aggression! Resist the expansion of armaments!" Someone shouted with a sign.
But on the other side, some people threw stones at them and even used magic.
The people on the other side shouted: "For your kindness, do you have to pay the price?! I have children to raise at home. I want to eat cheap meat and use cheap goods!"
Some people on both sides promoted it, and some people couldn't hold back their temper and started to attack each other, while Mo Xiao directed the action and called for persistence. In order for everyone to persist, it must be seen by the people around.
Yes, such a fight is not to convince the other party, but to convince passers-by.
Halfway through the fight, Mo Xiao suddenly felt a chill on his back.
Looking back, he saw that the blade had pierced his chest.
Assassination!
The people who supported Mo Xiao went crazy. They wanted to catch the assassin, but the assassin used magic to instantly leave the crowd and flee far away.
Mo Xiao, who fell in a pool of blood, was surrounded by the crowd. Some people wanted to rescue him, some tried to protect him, and more people rushed to the other side.
The person who just shouted "no war" took the initiative to attack.
In this fight, Mo Xiao died after rescue efforts failed, and the leader of the other side was also beaten to death. In the end, more than 80 people were killed and injured, shocking the entire Lingchou world.
And all this was within the expectations of Envoy Pang.
In fact, it doesn't matter whether it is a civil war or a foreign war.
As long as it is a war, as long as these people are involved in the war, they must arm themselves.
So, if the foreign war fails, then let's have a civil war. Can those who shout for peace and no aggression really resist taking the initiative to attack?
If they take the initiative to attack... then those who already have aggressive ideas will find it even more impossible to hold back.
This fight soon set off a huge uproar in public opinion.
In all places, in bars, newspapers, offices, and streets, everyone is talking about it, arguing, and making their own comments.
Newspapers, propaganda, various media, and even film critics and various entertainment videos in various places are expressing their opinions. There seems to be some force behind them that is fanning the flames, constantly creating hot spots, and prompting countless people to become more and more involved in this verbal battle.
Today there is an incident, and tomorrow there is another debate topic. Which opinion leader is recognized today will be assassinated in a few days. The whole world is in chaos. Everyone attacks each other. Every comment area related to this matter is noisy, constantly arguing about which side is better and trying to refute the other side.
Every piece of news that is beneficial to oneself has people mocking it below, and then there is a mutual abuse, until this abuse is transferred from the media's comment area to the real world.
Public opinion has been completely destroyed. The witch and humanitarian envoys have only been here for more than ten years, and the change in thought has become so sharp.
Finally, the Lord of the Spirit Silk Realm took action.
She used her fifth-grade force and coercive power to forcibly end all discussions.
But this was a stupid move. The high-pressure method was useless. On the contrary, it angered everyone.
Those who were deprived of all legal means of self-defense, their anger that could not be vented would eventually prompt them to take illegal means, and no one could blame them.
If a discerning person looked outside, he would find that humanity seemed to have an absolute upper hand in this debate.
It seemed that the two sides were still evenly matched, but when everything developed to the point where war was needed to solve it,
all those illegal means needed some material support.
And all this material support --
would direct the trend of thought to the magic weapon assembly line.
Sitting in his seat, Envoy Pang read different intelligence every day, analyzed the trend, and watched everything go in the direction he arranged.
He was a little curious, what methods could the other party use to deal with it? In this situation, is there any way to make the people of the Spirit Silk Realm put away their murderous nature?
If they can't put it away, then the war breaks out and everything will be settled.
Messenger Pang reviewed the documents and deduced the current situation from various data. It was either a civil war or a foreign war. They had to fight. Everyone was so angry, so as long as a few more fires were lit, the raging flames would naturally burn.
"Well, it's almost time to meet the Lord of the Spirit Silk Realm to see what kind of war she needs, and we will provide that kind of war." Messenger Pang said.
As he spoke, other team members around him also stood up and shouted: "Okay! Oh, the paperwork is finally over."
"I'm going back to Chang'an after get off work this month. I haven't eaten Chang'an's food for a long time."
"Don't waste Jintai's transportation capacity at the critical moment. Just for a meal, I can cook it for you. I'm an amateur chef at level 4."
These people are very relaxed and friendly to each other.
If you only look at it from here, you can only see harmonious interpersonal relationships and excellent work level. Everyone is excellent and kind. No one can see that they are actually manipulating hundreds of billions of lives into the war.
But both sides are true. They are indeed very kind and friendly. There is full fairness and a perfect promotion mechanism within the human world. Everyone can find a place to give full play to their talents and strengths, and then obtain the corresponding status. Naturally, there is no resentment. Everyone has a good relationship and is very kind.
But... all this kindness, kindness, and fairness are for "people".
The Lingchou world is not considered a human being.
It's just a natural resource.
From the beginning, even if they have achieved the so-called "surrender", the human world will not regard them as human beings.
Because it doesn't matter what kind of Taoism the Lingchou world practices or what kind of thoughts it wants to use.
Does the Lingchou world really have its own "Tao"? Is there anything worth the whole civilization to sacrifice their lives and stick to even if the civilization is extinct?
No, they don't. The Lingchou world master and even everyone in the Lingchou world cares not about Tao, but about survival and interests, for a bite of food, for better clothes tomorrow, for being a leader, for fame and interests.
Is this kind of thing worthy of being called a person? Is it worthy of being called a civilization?
From the perspective of humanity, those who are still struggling for survival are not human beings, but irrational and uncivilized beasts. They are no different from beasts and plants.
For real ‘human beings’, all actions are from their own hearts. They are free from material instincts. People can sacrifice their lives because their hearts are here and the Tao is here.
From the perspective of humanity, civilization must be liberated from instinctive life, separate its own life from the non-specific behavioral relationship between external objects, and alienate and transcend freedom. Finally, it can be regarded as ‘civilization’ and ‘human’ when everyone acts for the Tao.
Various instincts, various struggles, and even the development of some technologies and the learning of various techniques, skills and supernatural powers are essentially methods and means of seeking life. They are all for a purpose. These are no different from the claws and teeth of beasts. They just live for the sake of living.
It must wait until civilization moves towards reason and its life transcends instinct, that is, it does not fall into methods and means, but is suddenly enlightened and reaches a state of doing nothing.
At this time, people can have interest in anything, not just for survival.
The strength and breadth of human life is so great. Survival is important, but the reason why survival is important is that without survival, it is impossible to pursue the true truth and achieve the true ideal.
Maintaining survival is to maintain more noble things, not to abandon everything for survival.
In the Lingchou world, for the sake of survival and materials, one can change the path at will, and everything is profit-oriented.
In the entire civilization, what is pursued is not Tao. In their view, "Tao" is not the supreme pursuit, but a tool that can be used for survival.
That is a world without Tao and people without Tao.
Some people even said: "In a world without Tao, do not step on its land."
These eight words are enough to explain the attitude of humanity, and they don't even want to go there.
In the eyes of Envoy Pang, if Fucaoyijie is willing to join humanity from the bottom of their hearts, they will choose to accept it, but for Lingchoujie, they are too lazy to raise their eyelids.
Of course, this actually creates a typical contradiction. The Fucaoyijie will never give up their own Tao easily. They accept Wudao because they have a high degree of overlap with Wudao. They think Wudao is their predecessor, so they can cooperate.
But if it were the human Tao, Fucaoyijie would not easily change their Taoism even if they were exterminated. They would die standing.
Few people are willing to join the world that the human Tao respects.
Those that the human Tao despise want to join desperately, but unfortunately the human Tao is too lazy to raise their eyelids, so they should just enter the list of natural resource reserves honestly.
Envoy Pang watched these people leave, then he stretched himself, stood up, and prepared to leave.
Walking out of this office, there is an ornamental lake in the Lingchoujie outside.
This is a manor located in a remote suburb, quite quiet, and beautiful scenery. There are many natural species in the Lingchoujie, including some rare species.
In the outside world, some of these things have become extinct due to the expansion of the Lingchoujie civilization, but they are well preserved here.
After all... these are precious natural treasures.
A species is the result of billions of years of evolution. Any species that can survive and reproduce independently is the result of billions of years of selection by the entire world and is a treasure of the universe.
People who don't understand will think that humanity will despise these, but on the contrary, although humanity regards these things as property, they are also precious property. It only takes a few seconds for the human magic weapon assembly line to refine a sixth-grade magic weapon, but these species take billions of years to appear. You can imagine how precious they are. Moreover, these species have evolved for billions of years, resulting in some characteristics that can be used, either as medicine, as raw materials, or as food, which can always come in handy.
Sometimes, in a human world, a special plague is rampant, and the fifth grade can't do anything, but the antidote is just an ordinary, irrelevant mushroom billions of light years away.
After all, this world is so wonderful.
Therefore, whenever the human beings arrive at a place, they will collect all the species maps of the whole world. The manor in front of them is a small ecosystem reproduced by this map. If it works well, this ecosystem will be moved away and sent back to the world map of Chang'an for permanent preservation.
In the world map, all the worlds that the human beings have seen so far are stored. As long as there is a need, these things can be used in almost all fields.
Envoy Pang looked at the things here and prepared to take a break before continuing to work. Anyway, the situation is almost impossible to turn around. The witch envoy on the opposite side has already lost thoroughly.
There is still one thing that is not clear, that is, the source of the witch silkworm in the opponent's hand, but he has sent someone to ask Liu Canzhi, and I believe that he will get accurate information after a while.
Perhaps it is a coincidence, and the Cao Cao is here. Suddenly, his terminal sent a message at this time.
"Messenger, the information you want has arrived. Liu Canzhi's witchcraft silkworm has not been leaked. The other party's witchcraft silkworm comes from other places. Moreover, Mr. Liu Canzhi provided a special information, that is, the witchcraft silkworm was not developed by him alone, but by three people."
"One of them is from the lineage of the fortune teller, named Boyue, and his whereabouts are unknown now."
"The other is from the lineage of the blessing, named Li Qi. According to our multiple verifications, it should be the true identity of the other party's messenger. I have sent you the Taoist techniques for recording and analyzing. The messenger can analyze the other party's footsteps according to the actual situation."
The message came from the terminal.
Messenger Pang was refreshed.
Good news!
However, at this moment, the entire ecosystem suddenly exploded!
