Chapter 364: Choose One of Two Dead Ends
Whether it is a territory or a kingdom, all systems must keep changing. This is also the most important job of the current officials, otherwise they will not be able to keep up with the terrifying development speed of the lords.
Obviously, it is now time to reform the management of the people in the small world.
Before this, most of the people in the territory adopted an equal treatment plan in terms of cultivation resources. As long as they are willing to enter the training tower for training, they can apply for source crystals and cultivation resources. Only some relatively scarce top resources will be provided only to a specific list.
The reason why this system can exist is, on the one hand, because of the high loyalty of the people in the territory, and on the other hand, because the characteristics and talents of the people in the territory are actually not much different.
Resources are not a waste no matter who they are given to.
But now, the gap between the people in the territory is obviously going to be highlighted.
The future will continue to change.
Because there will be a steady stream of people in the territory who will transform their qualifications through various means, such as through the Taishi Mother River, through the Nether Palace, or other mythical treasures.
Not only are there large differences in qualifications between these people in the territory, but it is also impossible to judge the strength without comparison.
Therefore, the improvement of relevant systems must be prepared.
This is also the inevitable stage after the territory has passed the novice period.
However, although Shen Fei attaches great importance to it, he still entrusts the main work to Li Tingyu and others, and he himself needs to check it at the end.
As the most important buildings are constantly upgraded, the combat power in the territory is also visible to the naked eye.
Even if the huge number of defense towers is not taken into account, those legendary force-type buildings alone are now enough to threaten the existence of the fourteenth-level demigods in the case of luck.
At this point, there is actually no need to fear the siege of the demigods outside.
However, the advantage cannot be said to be crushing.
Shen Fei's attitude towards these local forces has always been clear, that is, to obtain the greatest benefits at the lowest cost.
When the force advantage is huge, it is directly controlled by force, and when the difference is not large, it is better to take other means.
After all, in Shen Fei's eyes, whether it is the people in those cities or these demigods, sooner or later they will belong to the wealth of the Dark Night Kingdom.
It would be a pity to destroy it in the war.
So, he still decided to start the accelerated training.
Unlike the last time, this accelerated training did not force the full quota, but tentatively adopted a new system, allowing all the people to choose independently at a certain price.
Because the price was not high, the result was not beyond Shen Fei's expectations-almost all the people applied except for the people who had tasks.
"The people's desire for strength is completely linked to their loyalty to me." Shen Fei didn't know whether he should be relieved or feel sorry for the resources when he learned of such a result.
But in the end, he could only comfort himself that converting resources into strength was not a loss anyway.
At the same time, the proportion of "war tax" was increased.
Because he didn't want to affect the development of the kingdom too much, Shen Fei was actually quite polite in collecting wealth.
It was completely a "big size leading small size" model to drive the development of the kingdom.
So, there is still a lot of room for exploitation.
However, this kind of thing, which is tantamount to killing the chicken to get the eggs, can only be used occasionally, and it must not be carried out for a long time. Shen Fei is still very rational in this regard.
Therefore, this time, the "war tax" is still very restrained, and a large amount of content is carried out in the form of "trade".
Those high-tech products and technologies obtained from the new world also took this opportunity to distribute to the entire territory.
The biggest change is the "network".
Yes, after traveling through the world and becoming a lord for one year and two months, the lords finally returned to the information age.
Although the signal transmission buildings of Shen Fei's territory and the small world space gate are still used to connect all the lords' personal terminals, this is ultimately a network that can carry complex information.
The lords can finally be freed from the extremely restrictive and monotonous lord channel.
In a short period of time, the important components of the network such as "BBS", "social networking", "online shopping", and "games" were built by enthusiastic lords.
They even disliked the small number of people and hoped to join all the lords, servants, and dependents.
In this regard, Shen Fei also put forward his own opinions.
"Information management must be done well, especially the authority classification system." He thought for a moment and said simply, "Integrate the magic spirit into the network as the highest administrator to conduct comprehensive monitoring and management. In short, the information cannot be messed up."
As the intelligent center of the legendary building on the magic side, the magic spirit has now become a semi-magical, semi-technical artificial intelligence under the operation and research of the group of genius researchers from various worlds in the research center.
Its essence even has a tendency to exceed the legendary level.
Therefore, the magic spirit is fully capable of being the core manager of the network.
After doing all this, Shen Fei also looked forward to it.
"This is a network that connects all the worlds."
Although the current structure does not seem to be very large, with the continuous development of the three major entities of the small world, the territory, and the Dark Night Kingdom, Shen Fei is confident that it will evolve into an existence similar to the "Demon Network of All Heavens".
However, if it can really reach that level, it will not be much worse than the Lord System.
It can only be said that the road ahead is long and still needs to be worked hard.
While Shen Fei was taking drastic measures and taking advantage of the Lord's Mansion upgrade, the demigods in the outside world were still suffering great torture.
After the overwhelming blow of the Bronze Hall, they received a lot of information from the Ice Queen one after another.
Each piece of information was a new blow.
At a certain point, the demigods who gathered again finally couldn't stand it.
"This is not an enemy that can be faced with courage. This is the real abyss, the despair without hope! Even the great changes in the world 2,400 years ago cannot be compared with the present!"
This is a relatively young demigod, younger than Che Anwei, so his mentality makes it difficult for him to bear this kind of pressure.
However, with this introduction, the fear of many other demigods was also induced.
"That's right. The enemies our ancestors faced were only powerful, not invincible."
"If this goes on, let alone becoming a god, I don't see any possibility other than falling."
"The god behind Xue Ling is simply teasing us, and she is not hiding it."
"Everyone, don't be so pessimistic. Xue Ling said it very clearly. The gods regard our world, including us, as their own wealth, so they don't destroy us directly."
"That's right, but they are destroying our confidence and courage bit by bit, which is cutting off our path to becoming a god!"
"Not necessarily. If we join them, we may become gods in other ways."
"I think so too. Have you forgotten the pill that Xue Ling showed us? That kind of thing is completely beyond our cognition. Who said that courage is the only way to become a god?"
"Don't talk about the only way. Don't forget that the speculation about courage is just speculation."
"."
In this increasingly intense and even emotional discussion, only a few demigods remained silent and jumped out of their emotions to look at the situation in front of them.
Huo Linshen is one of them.
He knew very clearly that this was the other party's purpose, to use Xue Ling to oppress their courage and confidence bit by bit, cut off their path to becoming gods on their own, and then completely control them.
But knowing this, what can you do?
As a demigod said before, the other party did not hide this at all.
Just don't give them a third choice except death.
So, what can they do?
Concentrate all your strength, and then fight hard, if you don't become a god, then die?
But even if you really become a god, will you definitely survive?
Huo Linshen wanted to muster up courage, but his advanced barrier, which gradually calmed down and began to return to the indestructible state of hundreds of years, seemed to have confirmed his heart.
Yes, he began to fear.
This is not a path to becoming a god at all, but a path to despair!
Huo Linshen closed his eyes slightly.
And at this moment, a demigod suddenly spoke.
"Everyone, we have another choice."
This sentence immediately attracted the attention of all the demigods.
The speaker was "Qingdi".
The city he ruled was one of the few cities that was managed in the "dynasty" mode. Although there were various extraordinary technologies, it was completely under the rule of the emperor, and he did not hide it. In order to ensure the imperial power, the Qing Emperor even killed a demigod seed in his city.
It can be said that he is extremely self-centered among the demigods.
However, even so, he could not change his strength.
Facing the gazes of all the demigods at this moment, the emperor in the imperial robe smiled slightly.
"Don't forget, we are not actually the most powerful existence in this world. There is also the forbidden land."
"." All the demigods narrowed their eyes slightly.
"I know there may be alien true gods in the forbidden land, but they should not be more powerful than the gods behind Winterburg. In this case, why don't we pick a soft persimmon?" The Qing Emperor slightly emphasized his tone, "Either win over the forbidden land, or be enemies with the forbidden land, and seek the courage to become a god!"
"."
Still silent.
Forbidden land, this is also a word full of heavy pressure for the demigods.
This world actually does not belong entirely to humans. In the great change of heaven and earth 2,400 years ago, it was not only humans that were strengthened, but also many creatures living on this land.
Among them, there are also true gods.
The forbidden land is the residence of the alien gods.
In fact, when the true gods of mankind suddenly left collectively, there was a great panic among humans. They were worried that the alien gods would destroy humans.
However, this did not happen.
Later, they speculated that the alien gods had also left this world.
So, nine hundred years ago, four demigods went together to explore in depth.
Those four demigods all died.
No one knows what happened in the forbidden land, but from that moment on, the forbidden land truly became a forbidden land for humans. Only when the demigods felt that their time was up or wanted to sprint to the gods would they go to the forbidden land to take risks.
But none of the demigods who went there successfully returned.
In hundreds of years, nine demigods have died in the forbidden land.
This is why the demigods have never thought about going to the forbidden land again - courage is not seeking death.
But now, the new crisis they have discovered seems to be no less dead than the forbidden land.
But even so, do they really have to choose between the two dead ends?
Some demigods were silent, and some were struggling.
Everyone seemed to be able to feel the shaking of the invisible barrier.
It seemed to be testing their hearts to see if they had true courage.
Until Huo Linshen spoke.
He looked at Qingdi and asked softly, "You are the only demigod in your dynasty. If you fall, the dynasty will inevitably perish. How will you face your ancestors?"
"Let it perish." Qingdi just said afterwards.
This surprised many demigods.
After all, in their cognition, Qingdi had an extreme desire for power, otherwise he would not have done the act of strangling the demigod seeds in his own city.
But now, he doesn't seem to care so much?
Only Huo Linshen seemed to see through the Green Emperor, and said slowly: "It is indeed unstoppable. If we say who among us is most likely to become a god, I am afraid it is only you."
"This road is like this." The Green Emperor laughed, "Why worry about death?"
"Indeed." Huo Linshen nodded and looked at Che Anwei, "If you still recognize me as your master, join me."
Che Anwei's breathing stagnated. He did not expect Huo Linshen to say this.
But he also reacted.
Joining together means not leaving any retreat for himself, or even for his city!
No wonder, no wonder the Green Emperor did that.
He wanted to tie the survival of the entire city to himself, and use this pressure to hone himself!
The other demigods also reacted one by one.
Looking at the Green Emperor and Huo Linshen, his eyes gradually became complicated.
Courage, what a simple word, but knowing is easy and doing is difficult. Even the eight ancestors who became true gods were forced by the times to carry out their courage and ascend to the throne!
With this thought, a demigod gritted his teeth and said, "Let's fight!"
Another demigod smiled freely, "Except for ascending to the throne, nothing else matters."
"Since both roads are dead ends, we have to choose one."
"The ancestors were the same at the beginning, and had no choice."
"In that case, let's fight."
"."
It must be said that courage is a contagious emotion after all.
Of the fourteen demigods in total, ten are willing to go to the forbidden area.
Some of the remaining four are because they are young, and some are because they hope that the gods behind Winterhold can give them different paths.
But in any case, when they made this decision, they actually lost their courage.
