Chapter 409 Students
Xu Shen frowned, this was not a small modification, but a big move, which was tantamount to breaking all the existing rules and order.
It's easy to say "everyone is equal", but if you want to achieve it... it's not a question of difficulty, but simply impossible.
"I know that if you do this, you will offend the seven powerful families in the inner city, as well as those powerful people. The middle class in the world will stand on your opposite side and will jump out to oppose you. All high-income people will also oppose it.
But I’m sure you don’t care.”
The priest said seriously: "After all, compared with a path to becoming a god, these are meaningless."
He obviously has a grasp of the mentality of the monarchs. Only becoming a god is something that the monarch cares about. Therefore, for so many years, the monarch has not cared about management at all when he has been in office. He only cares about his own affairs and uses the people as tools to use. When needed,
Use it once and throw it aside when you don't need it.
"I really don't care, but I think what you are going to do is meaningless."
Xu Shen said calmly: "Even if a popular vote is adopted, can it guarantee absolute fairness? People can be bribed, and money and power can sway votes. In the end, will the people really have the right to choose? It's just self-deception."
The priest said: "We have naturally considered this, but our ancestors, the second generation Emperor, have already thought of corresponding strategies to impose sanctions, and there are corresponding departments to supervise. Even if the supervisory department is corrupt, there will be a second supervisory department.
As a supervisor, if a water pipe is destined to break, then we should put on a few more bandages. Water pipe breakage is inevitable, this is human nature, and reinforcement is our method."
Xu Shen had nothing to say when he heard this. This anti-internal organization had obviously been planning for a long time.
"Is this what you want to recover? I can consider it." Xu Shen agreed.
"Can it really be done?"
The priest stared at Xu Shen: "If you do this, it will weaken the authority of your ruling council. As far as I know, the ruling council is now in charge of the zero master. He is autocratic. This proposal is tantamount to being an enemy of him. You have
Are you sure?"
"If you go around in such a big circle, your real target is probably him."
Xu Shen said: "I am not sure of convincing him, nor am I sure of defeating him, unless you give me the way to become a god first. If I can become a god, I will consider all your wishes."
The priest was not surprised by Xu Shen's words. If Xu Shen agreed, it would be a lie.
"Can."
The priest said: "After you remove all the privileges of the nobles and powerful people in the inner city, I will provide you with clues to the path to becoming a god. I will show you our sincerity, and I hope to see the sincerity of the city lord."
Xu Shen knew that there was no cheap lunch, so he thought about it and said, "Okay, I'll think about it. It needs some time. Do you have a specific plan? You must be prepared for this, so I don't have to worry about it anymore."
"have."
The priest smiled and said: "The city lord only needs to elect a new system, that is, citizens, that is, everyone is a citizen, all privileges are cancelled, including the urban areas managed by the high clan, and the land controlled by these high clans and powerful people is restricted.
, and increase different taxes according to the level of wealth. I will send the specific documents to the city lord, you just need to let the parliament pass it."
Xu Shen knew that this was a difficult task, but before the temptation of the path to becoming a god, he would rather suffer the consequences of all the people in the world.
"I just received someone's gift, and then I have to turn around and embarrass them again. It's not easy to stand too high." Xu Shen sighed, then shook his head, and was about to turn around and ask someone to return the gifts sent by several noble clansmen overnight.
The priest smiled and said: "Then we will wait for the good news from the city lord."
"etc."
Xu Shen stopped them and thought: "Do you know about the loopholes and spiritual secrets of the world, as well as the rotten caves?"
The main thing he wanted to ask about was the rotten cave, because it was the place he was about to go to, and he always felt a little uneasy in his heart. The other two secrets were just asked in passing to cover up.
The priest was not surprised and chuckled: "Should these be recorded in the Qianyin Pavilion? If the city lord thinks it is not detailed enough, I can add a little bit. The world loophole is rumored to lead to another world. Once you fall in, you will
There is no way to go back. Some people infer that the world we live in may be illusory. This speculation comes from Moon Sky City, where technology is advanced and there is already an intelligent illusory world."
"Hence the association."
"As for the spiritual secrets, this is something clearly recorded by the ancestor of the Human Emperor. It is an ancient secret weapon. If you collect the spiritual secrets, you will gain the wisdom of God. But even the ancestors failed to collect them all, because after the spiritual secrets are collected, it seems that there is still
There is another possibility, which is to summon the consciousness of God..."
The priest said softly: "Once the consciousness of God is summoned, it will most likely end up being replaced by God."
Xu Shen was slightly startled. He didn't expect that there was such a hidden danger in spiritual secrets. Although it was just speculation, it sounded a bit creepy.
"The path to becoming a god you mentioned has nothing to do with spiritual secrets, right?" Xu Shen asked.
The priest shook his head: "Of course it's not this. The spiritual secret is already a secret that is kept secret among kings. In exchange for this, I would have no shame to stand in front of the city lord."
"Can you give me some tips?" Xu Shen asked.
The priest thought for a while and said: "I can only remind you that it has something to do with the shell."
"shell?"
Xu Shen was stunned for a moment. Some thoughts seemed to be passing through his mind, but he was unable to grasp them.
It has to do with the shell.
Shells, ruins...even the records about them in Qianyin Pavilion are very vague.
"When the city lord solves the problem of the nobles and the powerful, I will tell you all the clues. If the city lord can really become a god and help us remove the council, we will be extremely grateful." The priest said.
Xu Shen nodded and returned to the previous topic: "What about the rotten cave?"
"There... the ancestors have left records, which lead to the origin of the world, but the journey is extremely dangerous. We have kings who have explored it, but unfortunately they have not come back. If we can really enter the deepest part of the rotten cave, we may be able to find another way to become a god.
Probably." The priest guessed.
Xu Shen nodded, it seemed that they didn't know much.
After the priest and the others said goodbye, Xu Shen also began to prepare for the rotten cave.
Both Hai Jue and Ling Lu should be brought along to maximize their combat power.
Tauren are also indispensable.
As for other things, put them aside for the time being. This trip is dangerous, and coming back alive is the biggest goal.
The next day, Xu Shen sent Chen Han to return the gifts sent by several big families intact. Although he could accept them shamelessly and still whipped them, Xu Shen did not go to this extent.
For him, the quasi-legendary Ruins soldiers are just the icing on the cake, not indispensable.
If you want, you can raid the Gao family's house and get it at any time.
This is the willfulness of the top authority.
Several families who received the returned gifts were a little confused. They had a good conversation with Xu Shen before, but now the gifts were returned. They had a premonition that something big had happened, and secretly sent people to Guangming City to investigate.
Time passed quickly, and three days passed quickly.
Xu Shen gathered all his family assets and gathered in Yunzhong City.
In the council hall, the original owner and Wan Lord were already there. Not long after Xu Shen arrived, Lord Ling also came. The last person to arrive was Lord Yu.
When Lord Ling saw that everyone had arrived, he said "Let's go" with a calm expression and took the lead.
This trip is a monarch's trip. No other monarchs are involved. It is a secret operation. There is a turmoil outside. The major families are still speculating on what means and new order the new monarch will have when he takes office. However, they do not know that the five most powerful monarchs are about to
Go to the extremely dangerous rotten cave to suppress corruption and danger.
"The rotten cave has been churning recently and is filled with rotten slime. You should be careful." Wan Zhulu reminded.
The original owner had the experience of entering a rotten cave to suppress him, so he was not too nervous. Xu Shen saw that the owner's expression was also very relaxed. He was walking on the barren land of the Ruins Realm, wearing sharp high heels, showing his elegance.
It seemed that I was the only young person present and it was my first time there.
Not long after, a few people arrived deep inside Yunzhong City, outside the Rotting Cave.
There is a bald king guarding here. The bald king looks very undisciplined. There are several bottles of new spirits next to him. His cheeks are flushed, and he looks a bit drunk.
Seeing several monarchs arriving, the bald king just stood up in a daze and greeted Master Zero: "Are you coming to investigate?"
"Well, don't let others get close."
Lord Ling said calmly.
The bald king nodded, then glanced at the original owner and Xu Shen, smiled at them, and sat down to continue drinking.
The original owner raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "It would be inappropriate to hand over such an important place to such a careless person."
Wan Zhu shook his head slightly and whispered: "He is the most suitable to guard this place. He is the last disciple of the Fourth Human Emperor. No one cares about rules more than him."
The original owner was stunned, the disciple of the Fourth Human Emperor?
Baldhead heard the two talking, smiled, and continued to drink.
The original owner stared at him, and then said to the Ten Thousand Lords: "Then he must know the whereabouts of the Fourth Human Emperor, or the way to become a god..."
"Then I don't know." The bald king said with a smile: "The teacher disappeared overnight, and no one knows his whereabouts. As for the way to become a god, the teacher only said that everyone has his own way, and he did not pass it on to us students.
Maybe it’s because our qualifications are dull and we haven’t fully understood what the teacher said.”
The original owner looked at him, then at Lord Wan and Lord Ling, with a hint of suspicion in his eyes, but said nothing.
Wan Zhu seemed to understand the original owner's thoughts and just shook his head slightly.
There is no point in forcing a confession. The bald king in front of me will not go anywhere except guarding the rotting cave. If he knew the way to become a god, he would have become a god long ago, or he would have gone to complete the way to become a god.
No need to pretend to cover up here.
After passing the bald king, several people came to the rotting cave in front of them.
This cave is not a cave, but is located on the ground.
On the ground ahead, a giant black hole collapsed.
It is thousands of meters in diameter, and in the entire ruins world, it is extremely dark and bottomless, like an abyss.
There was a strange smell inside.
Xu Shen smelled this smell when he walked over. It felt a bit familiar, but specious... just like the smell of food cooked by "mother".
But it seems more "flavorful".
