The Just Cause of Unifying the Continent
In the end, Xiao Lin and his group reached a deal with Qian Renxue.
In order to recruit Xiao Lin and his group, Qian Renxue not only offered some Soul Bone, but also decided to make Xiao Lin and his group future retainers of the Spirit Hall.
However, Xiao Lin and the others didn't care about the offerings or anything like that.
After completing the transaction, Qian Renxue finally showed a slight smile.
"Xiao Lin, don't worry, I will order those spies to not have time to bother you."
"I doubt they would dare to confront the Spirit Hall."
Qian Renxue smiled confidently, then seemed to remember something and continued.
"By the way, I was the one who poisoned Xue Ye. I hope you will not treat him. Also, please put in a good word for me with His Your Eminence Dugu."
Qian Renxue did not want her years-long plan to fail; if it did, she would remember it for the rest of her life.
"Ah?"
Xiao Lin looked bewildered. This plan was too stupid. Back then, Xiao Lin had already sensed that Qian Renxue Qian Renxue was not very intelligent when he saw her confusing actions.
Now that she actually wants to carry out such a brainless plan, Xiao Lin doesn't know what to say.
Since the two are business partners, should we point out the flaws in this plan?
"Qian Renxue, is this the only despicable tactic you people from the Spirit Hall know?"
At this moment, Tang San looked disdainful; he had begun to despise Qian Renxue.
Since Qian Renxue Qian Renxue had nothing to do with his mother's previous affairs and was willing to apologize, Tang San's impression of Qian Renxue improved somewhat.
But now, he simply couldn't stand by and watch Qian Renxue resort to such methods.
In his eyes, Xue Ye was a great emperor with great talent and ambition (who was willing to give them commoners titles, fiefdoms, etc.).
Moreover, he was also a member of the Heaven Dou Empire, and he looked down on the actions of the Spirit Hall.
However, he didn't understand why Brother Lin seemed so indifferent to this matter.
When we were kids, we used to chat about what we would do if we were the emperor of the Heaven Dou Empire...
"Forehead..."
Qian Renxue didn't know how to refute Tang San's words; she admitted that her methods were indeed despicable.
However, for various reasons, she had long since given up on becoming the future emperor of the Heaven Dou Empire.
She had already found her successor, Xue Ke.
"Tang San, what are your thoughts on the situation on the mainland?"
"Don't you think it's a very bad situation that humanity is divided into Two Great Empires, with the Heaven Dou Empire and several Duchy?"
"Without our Spirit Hall, the Two Great Empires would continue to wage war, and in that case, it would only be the ordinary people who suffer."
"And don't forget, we humans have a very powerful enemy, the Soul Beast Clan."
"If we humans are a united force, then we can fight the Beast Tide launched by the Soul Beast Clan with all our might."
"Therefore, my goal is to unify the entire continent, so that under the glory of my Spirit Hall Empire, all the people on the continent will no longer have to worry about war."
"Although my methods were a bit despicable, I felt they were necessary."
When Qian Renxue spoke these words, she had a righteous expression on her face, as if this was a mission she had to complete.
"Unified?"
Upon hearing this, Tang San unconsciously murmured a couple of words.
As someone from a martial arts world, he is naturally able to understand unity.
Even now, he doesn't trust the Spirit Hall, or rather, the Spirit Hall's higher-ups, including Qian Renxue.
He still doesn't know what kind of person Qian Renxue is, or whether she is a person of great talent and ambition.
Can we make life better for ordinary people?
Of course, the most important point is whether it will affect his interests.
Let alone Tang San, no one would want others to infringe upon their interests.
Besides Tang San, Xiao Wu and Tang Ni also felt uneasy.
Human unification is definitely not a good thing for the Soul Beast Clan.
However, neither of them could stop it.
Although Xiao Wu likes Tang San a little more, it doesn't mean she doesn't care about the Soul Beast Clan.
Tang Ni was even more so; she could even see from the Eye of Fate that once humanity was unified, the Destiny of the Soul Beast Clan would continue to decline.
If there were no internal strife among humans, the population would naturally experience explosive growth.
With so many newborn humans, even with Xiao Lin's Self-Condensed Soul Ring, upgrading the continent's formations would be a drop in the ocean.
At that time, perhaps only the strongest Soul Beast Clan, such as Di Tian, will be able to survive safely?
This is a situation that Tang Ni doesn't want to see.
She even considered taking action to prevent the Spirit Hall from unifying the continent.
"Tang San, although I don't know what you're thinking, I feel that doing this can at least reduce the Spirit Hall's war against the Heaven Dou Empire."
"There's nothing wrong with that, and I won't become the emperor of the Heaven Dou Empire."
Qian Renxue didn't understand Tang San's thoughts, and could only explain her original intention in doing so.
Peaceful reunification is better than violent reunification.
"You're about to unify the continent, so of course you wouldn't look down on the emperor of the Heaven Dou Empire."
Tang San didn't know how to refute it, so he could only say this before turning to look at Xiao Lin.
"Brother Lin, say something!"
Tang San trusted Xiao Lin completely, and he felt that Xiao Lin should have a different perspective.
"Ah, actually I think unifying the continent is a historical inevitability, and unifying it sooner would be a good thing."
Xiao Lin didn't understand much about politics, nor did he realize how beneficial the unification of the Douluo Continent would be.
All he knew was that Qin Shi Huang's Six Kingdoms the six kingdoms, standardization of writing, and standardization of cart axles were all good things that would benefit future generations.
But isn't Douluo Continent now also a language, a script, and a set of rules?
In his own opinion, the only benefit of the Spirit Hall unifying the continent was that it would prevent internal strife.
However, Xiao Lin also distrusted some of the higher-ups at the Spirit Hall.
Their unification of the continent wasn't for the service of the people; it was merely a way for them to become new nobles on the lands of the Heaven Dou Empire and the Star Luo Empire.
Xiao Lin couldn't even say whether the Spirit Hall would continue to spend large sums of money to support the cultivation of commoner Soul Master in the future.
After all, the money that the Spirit Hall used to use to support the cultivation of commoner Soul Master came from the Two Great Empires. Who knows if they would be willing to pay for it themselves?
"If we are to unify the continent, we must get a piece of the pie big enough."
Xiao Lin thought for a long time before finally saying this.
He believed he would Become a God, and that he would most likely have no descendants on the Douluo Continent in the future.
In this way, he can use his own methods to ensure that the interests of ordinary people under his jurisdiction are not violated.
"Otherwise, you must guarantee that the people in the future will not live worse than they do now."
"This..."
Qian Renxue was somewhat shocked upon hearing Xiao Lin's words.
In her eyes, Tang San was actually easy to recruit.
As for Xiao Lin, even she would find this request troublesome.
Is it possible for some of the higher-ups in the Spirit Hall to share the spoils with ordinary people?
Their Spirit Hall doesn't have that many noble people either.
"Wait a minute, are you confused? What are your true thoughts about unifying the continent? What is the core of your Spirit Hall's plan? What about the greater good?"
Xiao Lin then realized that Qian Renxue, or rather their Spirit Hall, didn't have any sense of righteousness in unifying the continent?
You say you don't want humans to fight amongst themselves, but there's no war now, is there?
Without sufficient righteousness, then the Spirit Hall would be the Evil force that started the war.
Xiao Lin hadn't read many history books, but he deeply understood the importance of legitimacy and legitimacy.
As soon as Xiao Lin said this, Tang San instantly felt much more normal.
Tang San had always felt something was off, and now he realized what it was.
"By the way, if you don't explain this clearly, wouldn't that be total war?"
"Besides the Spirit Hall, who would be willing to help you? Have you figured that out?"
"Who are your friends? Who are your enemies?"
What are you going to do?
"Those who follow the right path receive much help, while those who stray from it receive little help. You should all know this, right?"
As Xiao Lin raised his question, Qian Renxue instantly felt that she was completely unprepared to unify the continent.
"I have no idea..."
In the end, Qian Renxue became even more confused.
It seems I've reached 200 monthly votes, but I've been in a bad state lately, staying up late at night and not getting enough sleep during the day. I only have enough time to finish 6,000 words, so I owe you all one chapter for now and will make it up to you right away.
