Chapter 714: A Dog Will Never Change Its Nature!!

Of course, even if the gods finally lose all the chips in their hands and have no choice but to be eliminated, it does not mean that everything is completely lost. The gods still have a guarantee.

The minimum guarantee specification is to increase the original harvest of the immortal karma by 20%, which is the reward and reward given by Xiao to them for abandoning the darkness and turning to the light. As for the additional spiritual accumulation share, there is no more.

At the same time, in order to ensure the fairness of the entire gambling game, the Five Emperors also formulated an important rule, which is:

Each spiritual accumulation chip will bring corresponding strength enhancement to the corresponding destiny person.

In other words, the higher the share of spiritual accumulation, the stronger the individual's strength.

In this way, we can effectively avoid the extreme situation of using small to gain big benefits:

For example, a person who only holds one strand of spiritual essence can easily defeat a strong opponent with hundreds of strands of spiritual essence by relying on powerful force, and takes away all the opponent's spiritual essence.

This kind of thing is absolutely impossible to happen under these rules. This is also to prevent some people with ulterior motives from exploiting loopholes in the rules to cause bugs.

You know, if there were no such restrictions, the gods would probably only leave a share of the soul to the destined person every day, and then take away all the remaining large shares of the soul.

By doing this repeatedly, they can continue to fight with nothing. As long as they tightly hold a huge amount of spiritual energy in their hands, they can remain invincible.

…

…

Xiao thought over and over again, and after a long period of weighing and deliberation, he finally felt that Zhang Jiao was the most suitable person to be the first person.

Especially the sentence "Heaven is dead and Huang Tian shall stand" is really in line with Xiao's taste. After all, the Great Heavenly Lord is the Heaven in everyone's mouth.

Since the Great Heavenly Lord is the sky, then the sky is dead, and another meaning of Huang Tiandang's establishment is self-evident.

Using this slogan to overthrow the Great Han also declares to the world that the Great Heavenly Lord should also be replaced.

However, the current situation of the Han Dynasty is far from being as corrupt as it was in history.

The aristocratic families and landlords seem to have gradually gotten rid of that vulgar pursuit. They are no longer as greedy and wantonly exploiting the people as before.

On the contrary, these people's practice of exchanging food for souls greatly improved the living conditions of the people, making the people of the Han Dynasty live an increasingly prosperous life.

Under such circumstances, let alone Zhang Jiao not wanting to rebel, even if he wanted to rebel it would be extremely difficult.

Even if he really had this intention, he would never be able to recruit millions of Yellow Turbans in an instant with just one call, as recorded in history.

After all, people now live and work in peace and contentment, have enough food and clothing, and their living conditions have been greatly improved.

And the landowners seem to have become kind-hearted. All they ask for is some spiritual energy that is of little use to themselves.

No common people would support Zhang Jiao and join him in overthrowing the Han Dynasty. This situation really made Xiao feel quite troublesome and headache.

However, something unexpected happened.

In less than two days, Xiao no longer has to worry about this matter.

At the same time, he also deeply understood why the ancients often said that "a dog cannot change its eating of shit".

It turns out that not long after those aristocratic families were praised and praised by the people, they returned to their old ways and showed their ugly faces again.

The reason why they were willing to buy spiritual essence from the serfs before was because someone reported to them that the peasants would burn their souls in exchange for a spell that would kill them all.

However, as the number of spiritual accumulations in the hands of various princes continued to increase, the greed of these clans expanded again.

When they discovered that the common people could not hurt them even if they burned them all, the princes from all walks of life added a spiritual tax on their territories.

The so-called spiritual accumulation tax is an extremely cruel and unreasonable system.

It is stipulated that everyone must pay a certain amount of spiritual accumulation tax every month. If the full amount of spiritual accumulation cannot be paid on time,

Then there will be officials specifically responsible for this matter who will arrest a person in the family at will and squeeze their soul through special means to obtain the required spiritual essence.

It needs to be known that the universe breeds souls, and creatures breed spiritual aggregates. Spiritual aggregates and life spans are closely related, and can even be equated.

The original human race had the same origin as the gods. However, those gods who failed in the struggle were almost entirely exploited by Laojun, and this was how short-lived humans were born.

Extracting Lingyun taxes is tantamount to forcing the people to use their own lifespans to deduct taxes. In comparison, extracting the people's fields and food rations is simply an act of kindness.

Faced with such injustice and cruelty, the people naturally felt resentful and eager to rise up and resist.

It's a pity that the officials responsible for collecting the spiritual tax have extremely powerful magical powers, and ordinary people have no power to fight back against them.

If you choose to accept the extraction of spiritual energy honestly, you will lose several years of life, but at least you can save the lives of the whole family;

But if one dares to resist, a disaster awaits the whole family - they will be ruthlessly drained of all their souls and end up with a tragic death.

After weighing the pros and cons, no matter how unwilling they were, the common people had no choice but to accept the unscrupulous and crazy squeeze of the wealthy families.

As rounds of spiritual extraction continue to take place, the average life span of the human race is getting shorter and shorter.

In fact, at this moment, some people have already noticed the huge hidden dangers: if it continues like this, the entire human race may face an unprecedented crisis!

But

The madness, ambition and endless desire caused by power are like a surging torrent, carrying people forward all the way, and they can no longer stop.

The princes and families, relying on their own extensive knowledge and experience, know that exhausting the pond to catch fish is not a long-term solution.

However, just as the princes and families turned a deaf ear to the will of the Han emperor because of their pursuit of power,

the landlords and powerful people under the princes do not have so much knowledge. They will only ignore the orders of the princes and families in order to obtain more powerful power.

In such a cruel competitive environment, even if someone chooses not to extract the spiritual essence to improve their strength, others will definitely do so without hesitation.

In this way, those who stand still will soon be overtaken and eliminated by their subordinates, and eventually face the threat of death.

Therefore, all forces, from top to bottom, can only fall into the vortex of mutual involution, constantly squeezing the lives of innocent people, otherwise they will be abandoned by the times.

The extraction of spiritual power is like Pandora's box. Once it is opened and the devil is released, the box can never be closed again.
