Chapter 377 Awakening the Martial Spirits for the Commoners is Actually Making Them Accept Their Fate
"Weiss, what do you think about the recent events in Falling Star City?"
After confirming Dai Mubai's training progress, Dai Tianran asked Davis about Falling Star City.
However, this made Dai Mubai, who lowered his head, have trembling eyes.
Because in his heart, Dai Tianran didn't ask him, but asked Davis. Even Dai Tianran was more inclined to Davis than him, Dai Mubai.
If you continue to stay here, you will definitely suffer great humiliation in the future!
Dai Mubai couldn't help but have this thought in his mind.
Davis replied, "Falling Star City is located at the border of Tiandou and Xingluo. It is a small city. I really can't understand how a small master of a martial spirit branch hall can have such great power? He actually bewitched people's hearts and forced Darles to death."
In fact, Davis also thought Nadales was too stupid.
Collaborating with the Fallen was already a mistake despite knowing it, and afterwards he even created a substitute for himself... Now, the fake has become real.
In this way, their Xing Luo Empire really has no way to blame the Spirit Hall, and even has to owe the Spirit Hall a favor.
but!
Davis felt that this matter could not have been thought up by someone from the Spirit Hall.
The Spirit Hall has been developing faster and faster in recent years, and is showing signs of establishing a country. This is what both the top leaders of Tiandou and Xingluo have speculated on.
However, in Davis's opinion, the Spirit Hall is still pretty much the same as before, with spirit masters being respected, but not much to do with founding a nation.
Could the people in the Spirit Hall have imagined what happened in Falling Star City?
There must be someone else giving pointers.
Inexplicably, Zhou Qing's figure emerged in Davis' mind - Falling Star City is close to Notting City, could it be that he was helping the Spirit Hall with advice?
"Indeed, the Spirit Hall has the largest number of spirit masters, but it is precisely because they respect spirit masters that they are good at using force to suppress others, but they have not made any great achievements in planning."
Dai Tianran interrupted Davis's thoughts and talked about the advantages and disadvantages of the Spirit Hall. "If the Spirit Hall wants to plot, it must be the other extreme that is completely opposite to suppressing people by force. But even so, once the people who are carrying out the conspiracy are stimulated, they will inevitably turn to violent suppression."
It has to be said that Dai Tianran saw through the essence of the soul master's character - pride and bellicosity.
As the force with the largest number of soul masters in the entire continent, the Spirit Hall will inevitably abandon the original plan no matter what kind of plan it has, as long as the executor is not satisfied, and instead use fighting to achieve its goal.
True.
Dai Tianran himself is also a soul master, and his soul power has reached the Soul Douluo level, but he is also the emperor of the Xingluo Empire. Since he came to power and learned about the conflicts of interest among the various families, nobles, and officials in the empire, he understood the difference between the power of the Spirit Hall, which is dominated by soul masters, and his Xingluo and Xue Ye's Tiandou.
If the Spirit Hall were to establish a country, it would inevitably encounter a long period of turmoil. If it wanted to unify, it could only resort to militarism and divert conflicts, which meant immediately launching a war of unification against the two empires.
Moreover, only if the Spirit Hall wins can it win over the officials who originally governed the cities in the two empires and thus stabilize the cities.
But what happened afterwards?
The Spirit Hall will find that if they promote officials based on strength, most of the spirit masters in the Spirit Hall will not know how to govern a country, which will lead to war and misery for the people on the unified continent.
But if the Spirit Hall's own system is changed and it learns from the two great empires, then the Spirit Hall will have to find a way to suppress the dissatisfaction of the spirit masters who are fighting against them for the world.
After all, the vast majority of soul masters joined the Spirit Hall for power and profit. But after unification, the Spirit Hall's top brass told them that since people like you don't understand anything related to governance, you cannot hold high positions... It is conceivable that by then, there will definitely be large and small internal chaos and even rebellion.
This can be solved by non-Title Douluo.
After imagining two situations after the Spirit Hall established a country and unified the continent, Dai Tianran suddenly felt that as long as the current Pope of the Spirit Hall was not mentally ill, he would not establish a country. Even if he did, he could only learn from Tiandou or Xingluo.
At that time!
There was only one more empire on the continent, and under the three-way confrontation, the confrontation and cooperation between them could delay the outbreak of war again. For a moment, Dai Tianran suddenly felt that this was the fundamental purpose of the Spirit Hall, for the sake of "peace on the continent"...
but--
Absolutely impossible!
Dai Tianran didn't believe that anyone in the world would really fight for peace.
Moreover, to talk about practical issues, compared to these nobles, the Spirit Hall, which is mainly composed of soul masters, is the force that cares the least about civilians.
No matter how greedy and absurd the nobles and officials of the two empires were, they knew that more than 95% of the value of the empire was created by the common people, and their expenses for food, clothing and other daily necessities mainly came from the taxes paid by the common people, so most of the common people would not go hungry.
But the Spirit Hall is different. They are all spirit masters, most of whom pursue power and don't care about these things at all... There was a capable person in the Spirit Hall's ancestor who realized this and wanted to win the hearts of the people by awakening their spirits for free.
pity.
The people at the grassroots level of the Spirit Hall were not able to handle this task. Most of them had little knowledge and only cared about whether the spirit had attack capabilities, which caused the Spirit Hall to miss out on many geniuses.
For the vast majority of civilians whose innate soul power is zero, compared to becoming a soul master, staying alive is what they pursue.
Only two empires had the ability to keep civilians alive.
Wuhun Palace?
It's just helping civilians awaken their martial spirits, but it can't change their lives. Even if there are qualified to become soul masters, how many of them will care about the life and death of ordinary civilians?
On the contrary, the civilians who are eager to change their living conditions by awakening their martial souls and becoming soul masters will become more desperate when they learn that their awakened martial souls have no innate soul power and cannot be cultivated.
This was also the fundamental reason why the top leaders of the two empires later compromised with the Spirit Hall to help the civilian children in their territories awaken their spirits.
In the beginning, the top leaders of the two empires actually opposed the Spirit Hall's approach, thinking that they wanted to win over the people.
But after a while, the two empires no longer had any objections.
Because after the Spirit Hall started doing this for a while, the people in the two empires became much more stable - you know, before the Spirit Hall issued the order to awaken the spirits of civilian children across the continent, there were many poor areas in the two empires where large and small rebellions often broke out.
And now?
In the past two hundred years, there have been many bandits, but none of them dared to rebel.
If the common people have not awakened their martial souls, they still have illusions and think that if they awaken their martial souls, they may be no worse than the children of large sects and big families.
Therefore, there was a latent delusion in their hearts that drove them to unite and fight to the death with the nobles.
However, after the Spirit Hall helped them awaken their spirits, those useless spirits shattered all the arrogance and fantasies in their hearts, making them realize that they would never be as good as the disciples of their families or sects.
Accepted his fate.
What about those geniuses who emerge from the common people?
Ah!
This is not the barbaric era of ancient times. The interests have been distributed. If you want power, money, and status, even if you are a Titled Douluo, you have to compromise to a certain extent.
Moreover, these civilian geniuses were no longer civilians in the end.
Therefore, in Dai Tianran's opinion, the Spirit Hall played an indispensable role in helping the two empires to appease the people. If they had not helped the civilians awaken their spirits and shattered the hopes in the hearts of the civilians, it would have been difficult for the two empires to command such a large territory.
You know, before the two empires appeared, there were countless kingdoms on the entire continent. Even a village with a hundred acres of land could call itself a country.
