Volume 3: The King of Waste Chapter 398 Students
Xu Shen frowned. This was not a small modification, but a major upheaval, which was tantamount to breaking all the existing rules and order.
It is easy to say that everyone is equal, but if you want to do it... it is not a matter of difficulty, but it is simply impossible.
"I know that if you do this, you will offend the seven noble families in the inner city, as well as the rich and powerful. This means that the entire middle class of the world will stand against you and will oppose you. All the high-income families will also oppose you, but I believe you don't care."
The priest said seriously: "After all, compared with a path to becoming a god, these are meaningless."
He obviously grasped the mentality of the monarchs. The only thing that the monarchs cared about was . Therefore, for so many years, the monarchs in power did not care about management at all. They were only busy with their own affairs and treated the people as tools, using them when needed and throwing them aside when not needed.
"I really don't care, but I think what you are going to do is meaningless."
Xu Shen said calmly: "Even if it is a national voting group, can it guarantee absolute fairness? The people can be bought, money and power can be used to swipe votes. In the end, will the people really have the right to choose? It's nothing but self-deception."
The priest said, "We have certainly considered this, but our ancestor, the second generation emperor, has already thought of a corresponding strategy to punish and has a corresponding department to supervise. Even if the supervisory department is corrupt, there will be a second supervisory department to supervise. If a water pipe is destined to burst, then we will put on a few more bandages. Pipe bursts are inevitable. This is human nature, and reinforcement is our means."
Xu Shen was speechless after hearing this. This anti-internal organization had obviously been planning this for a long time.
"Is this what you want to get back? I can consider it." Xu Shen agreed.
"Can it really be done?"
The priest stared at Xu Shen and said, "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 that Lord Zero, who is a dictator. This proposal is tantamount to being an enemy of him. Are you sure?"
"You've gone through so much trouble. Your real target must be him."
Xu Shen said: "I am not sure I can convince him, nor am I sure I can defeat him, unless you first give me the way to become a god. 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 immediately, he would have been deceived.
"Can."
The priest said, "After you remove all the privileges of the nobles and dignitaries in the inner city, I will provide you with clues on how to become a god. I will show you our sincerity, and I also hope to see the sincerity of the city lord."
Xu Shen knew that there was no such thing as a cheap lunch, so he thought for a while and said, "Okay, I'll think about it. It'll take some time. Do you have a specific plan? I'm sure you have prepared this thing, so I don't have to rack my brains."
"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 city area managed by the nobles, limit the land controlled by these nobles and the rich, and increase different taxes for 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 in the face of the temptation of becoming a god, he would rather betray the whole world and go for it.
"I just accepted someone's gift, and now I want to embarrass them again. It's not easy to be in a high position." Xu Shen sighed, then shook his head, preparing to turn around and ask someone to return the gifts that several high-ranking families had sent overnight.
The priest smiled and said, "Then we will wait for good news from the city lord."
"etc."
Xu Shen stopped them and thought: "Do you know the loopholes and spiritual secrets of the world, as well as the rotten cave?"
What he mainly wanted to ask about was the Rotten Cave, because that was the place they were 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, "These should be recorded in Qianyin Pavilion. If the city lord thinks it is not detailed enough, I can add a little bit. It is rumored that the world loophole leads to another world. Once you fall into it, you can no longer return. Some people have speculated that the world we live in may be illusory. This speculation comes from Yuekong City, where technology is advanced and there is already an intelligent illusory world ."
“So there will be such an association.”
“As for the spiritual secrets, this is something that was clearly recorded by our ancestor, the Human Emperor. It is an ancient secret weapon. Gathering all the spiritual secrets will give you the wisdom of God, but even our ancestors were unable to gather them all, because after gathering all the spiritual secrets, there seems to be another possibility, which is to summon the consciousness of God…”
The priest whispered, "Once God's consciousness is summoned, it is likely to end up in another way, being replaced by God."
Xu Shen was slightly stunned. He didn't expect that Lingmi had such a hidden danger. Although it was just a speculation, it sounded a bit creepy.
"The path to becoming a god that you are talking about has nothing to do with spiritual secrets, right?" Xu Shen asked.
The priest shook his head: "Of course not this. The spiritual secret is already a well-known secret among the kings. If I were to use this to exchange, I would not have the face to stand in front of the city lord."
"Can you give me some hint?" Xu Shen asked.
The priest thought for a moment and said, "I can only suggest that it is related to the shell."
"shell?"
Xu Shen was stunned, and some thoughts seemed to pass through his mind, but he couldn't grasp them.
It's about the shell.
Shell, ruins...even in Qianyin Pavilion, the records of them are very vague.
"Once the city lord has resolved the issues with the nobles and the wealthy, I will tell you all the clues. If the city lord can really become a god and help us dismiss the parliament, we will be very grateful." said the priest.
Xu Shen nodded and continued the previous topic: "What about the rotten cave?"
“There… our ancestors left records that it leads to the origin of the world, but the journey is extremely dangerous. We once had a king explore it, but unfortunately he never came back. If we can really enter the deepest part of the Rotten Cave, perhaps we can find another way to become a god.” 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.
We must bring Haijue, Linglu and the others along to maximize our combat power.
The Tauren is also indispensable .
As for other things, let’s put them aside for now. This journey 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 major families. Although he could have accepted them and whipped them anyway, Xu Shen did not do so.
For him, the quasi-legendary soldiers were just the icing on the cake, not indispensable.
He wanted to confiscate the Gao family’s property at any time.
This is the capriciousness of those at the top of authority.
The families that received the returned gifts were a little confused. They had been talking well with Xu Shen before, but now the gifts were returned. They had a premonition that something big was going to happen, so they secretly sent people to Guangming City to investigate.
Time flies, and three days pass quickly.
Xu Shen gathered all his family assets and came to Yunzhong City to gather.
In the council hall, the original owner and the Wan Lord had already arrived. Not long after Xu Shen arrived, the Ling Lord also came over. The last to arrive was the Yu Lord.
Seeing that everyone was present, Master Ling said calmly, "Let's go," and led the way.
This was a monarch's trip, with no other monarchs participating, and it was a covert operation, while things were turbulent outside, and the major families were still speculating on what methods and new order the new monarch would use when he took the throne, but they didn't know that the five most powerful monarchs were heading to an extremely dangerous rotten cave at this moment to suppress corruption and danger.
"The rotten cave has been churning recently, and it is filled with rotten slime. You have to be careful." Wan Zhulu reminded.
The original owner had experience in entering a rotten cave to suppress it, so he was not too nervous. Xu Shen saw that Yuzhu's expression was also very relaxed. He walked on the barren land of the ruins world in pointed high heels, showing his elegance.
It seemed that I was the only newbie there, and it was my first time there.
Not long after, they arrived deep in the Cloud City, outside the rotten cave.
There is a bald king guarding here. He looks very casual, with several bottles of new liquor beside him. His cheeks are flushed and he looks a little drunk .
Seeing several monarchs arrive, the bald king just stood up in a daze and greeted Zero Lord: "Are you coming to investigate?"
"Well, don't let anyone get close."
Zero Lord 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's a bit inappropriate to leave such an important place to such a careless person."
Wan Zhu shook his head slightly and whispered, "He is the most suitable person to guard this place. He is the last disciple of the Fourth Human Emperor. No one cares more about the rules than him."
The original owner was stunned. Disciple of the Fourth Human Emperor?
The bald man heard their conversation, smiled, and continued to drink.
The original owner stared at him, and then said to Wanzhu: "Then he must know the whereabouts of the fourth emperor, or the way to become a god..."
"Then I don't know." The bald king smiled and said, "The teacher disappeared overnight, and no one knows where he is. As for the way to become a god, the teacher only said that everyone has his own way. He didn't pass it on to us students. Maybe we are dull and didn't understand the teacher's words."
The original owner looked at him twice, then looked at Master Wan and Master Ling, with a hint of suspicion in his eyes, but said nothing.
Wanzhu seemed to see what the original owner was thinking and just shook his head slightly.
There is no point in forcing a confession. The bald king in front of him goes nowhere except to guard the rotten cave. If he knew the way to become a god, he would have become a god all these years ago, or he would have gone to complete the path to become a god. There is no need to pretend to cover it up here.
Passing the bald king, the few of them came to the rotten cave in front of them.
This cave is not a cave, but is located in the earth.
A huge black hole collapsed on the ground ahead.
It is thousands of meters in diameter and is extremely dark and bottomless, like an abyss in the entire world.
There was a strange smell coming out from inside.
Xu Shen smelled this smell when he walked over. It felt a little familiar, but not quite... It was like the smell of food cooked by "Mom".
But it seems more "fragrant".
