You are already cultivating immortality, who would fight with you alone?

Chapter 267 Living in Groups and Living Alone

Liu Yuntian remained silent, staring at the other person for a long time.

Then he asked another question: "What if favoritism towards the nobles leads to a popular uprising?"

however,

This question did not cause any trouble to the lay Buddhist, and even made him chuckle.

"The tolerance limit of these people is extremely high..."

He said disdainfully, "They have never seen the world. Just being alive has already satisfied their greatest wish!"

"Just give them a chance to survive!"

"Even if they suffer some humiliation... they will choose to endure it."

After saying this, the layman paused for a moment, then stopped again.

He turned his head and looked at Liu Yuntian, and asked, "Do you know the difference between living in a group and living alone?"

When Liu Yuntian heard this question, he was slightly stunned, and he knew in his heart that this involved the essence of human nature.

He may not be very clear about state affairs, but he has a very clear understanding of human nature.

He nodded and said, "When people live in groups, they will develop a common direction for survival. Even if this direction is inconsistent with the direction of a very small number of individuals, these few people will hypnotize themselves and make themselves accommodate the larger group."

He paused and continued, "This is to achieve a more harmonious way of living in groups."

This is similar to the method many cult organizations use to brainwash people.

Wearing the same clothes, holding the same slogan, doing the same things, etc...

The different definitions depend on whether what they do is right or wrong.

"People who live alone will have more self-awareness. As more people live alone, they will have more thoughts..."

At this point, Liu Yuntian was suddenly stunned.

"The more I spend alone, the more I think..."

Liu Yuntian repeated this sentence once.

He suddenly understood.

This also explains why individuals are not united enough.

Destroy the tribe and separate them!

They are the biggest factor of instability. As long as they are controlled,

This small group of noble lords will not pose much threat to Liang State...

If we follow the previous situation of Liang State, the era dominated by the Five Surnames and Seven Families,

They could easily incite and organize a rebellious army.

However, since they were eliminated, there have been almost no assassins in Liang State.

This is because even if someone attempts to assassinate him,

It cannot be achieved by individual strength alone.

After understanding this key point, Liu Yuntian's expression became complicated and he looked at the monk.

It turns out that the truly smart people in Qiyang Continent are right here!

Although he is a beastman, he knows the habits of humans very well.

The human race has absolutely no secrets in front of him!

If the monk was a human, he would definitely become Liu Yuntian's most powerful opponent!

At this time, the layman also realized that Liu Yuntian had already grasped the key.

continued,

"The human race is a social creature!"

"A person cannot live long alone, even if there are no natural enemies..."

"They need to communicate... they need the same sound as their own kind..."

“And there will be differences in perception between groups.”

"They will invent their own enemies to unite their existing groups!"

"Then they will use territory as the boundary, language as the boundary, appearance as the boundary...even villages as the boundary!"

"Even if the human race occupied the entire Qiyang Continent, there would still be endless civil war."

"Continue to form smaller groups with common understandings and continue to fight..."

"Until the end... there were only two humans left in the entire world, but they still had different perceptions..."

Liu Yuntian's breathing became rapid, his hands were clenched into fists and were trembling slightly.

His voice was low and serious: "Are you trying to say... that the human race has been heading towards self-destruction since its birth?"

These words were like thunder, causing the air around them to freeze.

The layman chuckled and did not answer the question.

Instead, he chose to directly state his purpose: "If your Liang Kingdom wants to stop self-destruction, you must never unify the entire human race!"

His tone was firm and serious, as if he was emphasizing some important principle.

Then, the layman continued: "Your Liang State must have a powerful external enemy! Only in this way can you remain vigilant and united, and not be eroded by internal conflicts."

"Otherwise, enemies will emerge from within, gradually undermining your power, and eventually causing the entire country to disappear into the long river of history!"

"So...you absolutely cannot touch Wuji!!!"

The layman almost roared out the last sentence with all his might.

The two were silent for a while.

However, at this moment, they suddenly smiled at each other.

There was a sense of relief and understanding in the laughter, as if they had found resonance with each other.

This sudden change is a bit surprising, but at the same time, one can also feel the tacit understanding and trust between them.

Although the atmosphere was extremely tense just now,

But now it seems that there was no conflict or quarrel between the two sides due to differences of opinion.

On the contrary, they seemed to have found a common understanding and goal through this conversation.

This is a clear sign of consensus.

Liu Yuntian stopped laughing first and explained in a relaxed manner: "Master, you misunderstood. I never intended to kill Wuji..."

He paused, then continued, "If the boy had the ambition to unify the country, he would have declared himself emperor long ago."

"Why do you need to bear the title of a commander?"

The lay Buddhist naturally did not believe in this kind of tactic of laughing it off and did not take it seriously at all.

After all, they all know very well that many of the apparent games are actually nonsense literature.

Because true negotiation is not expressed through words.

Instead, both parties need to find a balance between the interests of both parties through practical actions, how to do it, and how to collide.

"That's not what I meant. Who in the entire Qiyang Continent doesn't know that you, Lord Liu, are the true master of the Northern Frontier?"

The layman retorted, his eyes fixed on Liu Yuntian, trying to catch a glimpse of the other's true intentions from his expression and eyes.

However, Liu Yuntian did not show any sign of retreating. Instead, his expression became more serious.

He said solemnly: "I didn't deny that I am the Lord of the Northern Frontier, it's just that I don't claim to be the emperor."

His voice was firm and powerful, as if he was making his position clear to the layman.

"What's the point of being called an emperor or not?"

Liu Yuntian snorted coldly and continued, "Another false reputation hanging on your head?"

There was a hint of disdain in his eyes, and it seemed that he had not much interest in the so-called throne.

"Will you die?" he suddenly asked, causing the layman to fall into deep thought.
