"Position determines one's stance, that's normal."

"Looking back at the history of Dou Two."

"The victors are all vested interests."

"Poseidon Tang San Clear Sky Sect. After coming of age, he was taken as a teacher by Xue Beng, the new emperor of the Heaven Dou Empire, also known as the Imperial Tutor, and founded the Tang Sect... Although he had the strength to stand on the side of the common people, he did not have the awareness to do so, because if he stood on the side of the common people, it would mean that he betrayed those who supported him. In addition, his efforts would not be rewarded in any way... In short, both in terms of sentiment and reason, his choice was correct."

"Ning Rongrong goes without saying."

"Even if the Spirit Hall does not touch the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, her background determines that she cannot stand on the same side or even the same front as ordinary people."

"As for Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing... even if they eventually become gods, abandon the throne, and hand over the positions of Crown Prince and Crown Princess to Dai Weisi and Zhu Zhuyun, their stance will still be that of the Star Luo Empire... If everyone in this world is like a dragon, then what is the meaning of the True Dragon Son of Heaven? Even in order to maintain the correctness and legitimacy of imperial power, they will spare no effort to suppress the unstable class, that is, those commoners who are of lowly birth but want to climb up."

"Ma Hongjun is a good-for-nothing, he's content with whatever comes his way."

"Oscar does have some talent, but in his heart, his family is more important than the greater good. He could never give up his own happiness and turn to the common people... Of course, he didn't have that ability later on either. He was ultimately just a Support Type Soul Master."

"Xiao Wu... is purely Love Brain."

"You'd be better off expecting her to help those Soul Beast than to help ordinary people."

"With such a foundation, what can be done?"

"Isn't it normal for things to have evolved into what they are today, passed down from generation to generation?"

Ye Qingcang looked down at the Soul Master fighting on the various arenas below, his tone indifferent: "From ancient times to the present, Soul Master have always been a violent profession. Whether you have immense wealth or extraordinary connections, a commoner's anger can lead to bloodshed, and within a short distance, an entire nation can be turned into an enemy. If commoners become Soul Master, nobles will no longer dare to risk their own safety to oppress them. Under the leadership of these Commoner Soul Master, the commoners will gradually reclaim their rightful rights. This undoubtedly shakes the foundation of the nobility. That's why, after Poseidon Tang San's victory, these nobles..." "This upward path has been cut off... By the way, like Huo Yuhao, if he hadn't been born into the White Tiger Duke's Mansion, he wouldn't even have been qualified to awaken his Martial Soul... Among my girlfriends, Nan Nan and Ju Zi have the lowest backgrounds, but even Nan Nan and Ju Zi had their own paths. For example, Nan Nan's mother sold part of her dowry to raise ten Gold Soul Coin for Nan Nan to awaken her Martial Soul, while I sponsored Ju Zi with some Gold Soul Coin before she awakened hers... You should understand the significance of that price."

That's true, but things are different now.

"Over there."

"One thousand Copper Soul Coin = one Silver Soul Coin".

"Ten Silver Soul Coin = One Gold Soul Coin".

"The income of an ordinary family is about two to three Gold Soul Coin a year, which is about 20,000 to 30,000 Copper Soul Coin."

"The average price of food on the market... According to the comprehensive data from my survey last year, one pound of fine rice costs ten Copper Soul Coin, one pound of green vegetables costs fifteen Copper Soul Coin, and one pound of meat costs twenty-five Copper Soul Coin. As for more specific details, it depends on the specific situation... For example, the cut of meat sold is definitely more expensive than large bones, and pork belly is definitely more expensive than the front shoulder and back shoulder meat. For example, in winter, the price of green vegetables will also increase accordingly... Anyway, that's how it is in terms of average price."

"Although I don't know what prices will be like ten thousand years from now."

"Furthermore, the conversion rate is giving me a real headache."

"Who knows why the economic system here in Dou Two is in such a state... The gold coins of the Heavenly Soul Empire can only be exchanged at a rate of 1:1.5, the gold coins of the Sun Moon Empire can only be exchanged at a rate of 1:3.25, and the Star Luo Empire, the Dou Ling Empire, and even Shrek Academy all have their own exclusive gold coins. When you buy things there, you have to exchange them for the Shrek Academy's Gold Soul Coin. They don't accept other gold coins. It's really an eye-opener for me... Ahem, anyway, according to the current economic system."

"Ten Gold Soul Coin".

"It's the kind of money that an ordinary family could save up by not eating or drinking for three years."

"Logically, if money loses value, the people should have more money in their hands. If the people have less money, then money should be more valuable, because the value and meaning of money lies in its circulation. Otherwise, it's no different from ordinary metal. But Dou Two is developing in the opposite way. The people are getting poorer and poorer, but money is losing value more and more... Anyway, I don't know how the empire in Dou Two is doing this. Oh right, we should also include Shrek."

"Let's get back to the main topic."

"The money I save by not eating or drinking for three years would normally take at least ten years to accumulate, and that doesn't even account for any unforeseen events... If I get sick, it'll be another extra expense."

"Taking ten years' worth of savings to gamble on a possibility."

"Betting that one's child can awaken a high-quality Martial Soul, and also has a high Innate Soul Power, so that they can become Soul Master and change their Destiny... No normal person would ever gamble like that."

"The risk is too great."

"What if we lose the bet?"

"It means a family has worked for nothing for ten years."

"Moreover, the ability to bear risk is reduced to zero."

"In that case, it's not hard to understand why the number of Commoner Soul Master has decreased so drastically."

"The nobles also achieved their goals."

"The same is true for empires."

"The same applies to all major sects."

Qian Renxue did indeed believe in the Angel God, but she was never a fanatical believer. She had witnessed the dark side of the world firsthand and understood the reasons behind it. Her tone was as calm as Ye Qingcang's, but it was precisely this calmness that sent chills down one's spine. "Faced with a dog that has no worries about food and clothing, if you want to recruit it to serve you, you can only offer it better steak and better clothes... Even then, the dog will still compare itself to others, wanting to eat better lamb chops, wear better clothes, and live in a bigger house... But faced with a stray dog, the kind that's on its deathbed, even if you give it a steamed bun, it will be grateful to you and loyal to you... Especially when it sees that most dogs in the world are basically the same, mostly on their deathbeds, it will be content with its current life and regard you as a god!"

"While you're talking about dogs, aren't you also talking about people?"

"I understood this principle when I was very young."

"Because while I was drooling over those few slices of fatty meat in my bowl, I would try to leave a piece of meat at the end of each meal to eat, attempting to create a pleasant memory, my classmate would post on social media complaining that his dog wouldn't eat steak..."

"So I've known ever since."

"Absolute fairness does not exist!"

"A world of perfect harmony is just a fantasy!"

"I will reap a reward equal to the value of my efforts!"

"This is true fairness!"

"As heaven maintains vigor through movement, a gentleman should constantly strive for self-improvement... Our ancestors left behind this wisdom long ago, but unfortunately, few of their descendants have realized it."

Ye Qingcang's eyes were filled with the pain of memories. His thoughts wandered as he recounted the past, but it was only a fleeting recollection. After that moment, he adjusted his mindset, gathered his chaotic thoughts, and sighed with admiration, "The Spirit Hall has a very good foundation, a very upright one, which is extremely rare... Even if there are some problems at the higher levels, they are only a few individuals. At least I have seen more than a dozen Title Douluo from commoner backgrounds who have forged their own paths instead of following the rules... Perhaps they have never realized what their existence represents, but the facts do not cease to exist just because they are unaware of them. This is also the original intention of my willingness to cooperate with the Spirit Hall... You cannot achieve universal harmony, and neither can I, but you can open up a path for the people of the world, giving them better choices. This is quite commendable and worthy of my respect."

"You're always so good at finding excuses."

"And the words she speaks sound exceptionally pleasant."

"In fact, we are not as righteous and noble as you claim."

"In my grandfather's words, we just did some things that were in line with our conscience at the right time, and we didn't force anything."

"Furthermore, the current situation is indeed worrying."

"There are hundreds of thousands of Commoner Soul Master in the world."

"There are only a dozen or so Title Douluo."

"And what about the common people of the world?"

"Just considering the Heaven Dou for one country, that's four hundred million!"

"Including the Star Luo Empire."

"I can't guarantee 600 or 700 million, but 500 million ordinary people are definitely a certainty."

"Five hundred million ordinary people."

"Less than a million Commoner Soul Master."

"If you do the math, you can't guarantee that one Soul Master will appear on average among five hundred commoners, but you can guarantee one among a thousand."

"This is even with our awakening being free."

"Without the free awakening, it's questionable whether Dou Two can even muster 10,000 Commoner Soul Master. Ultimately, this depends on the base number!"

Qian Renxue gave a rare bitter smile.

It is said that even a skilled cook cannot cook without rice.

Don't be fooled by the fact that the Spirit Hall is very strong.

In reality, the Spirit Hall has only managed to get to where it is today by sheer grit and determination.

It's equivalent to doing it all by oneself.

They forced everyone to roll up.

Don't want to roll?

Sure!

Then just wait to be killed by the Spirit Hall once they've grown stronger!

But rolls also have costs!

There aren't that many people, so what's the point of rolling it out?

This book was recently updated at ##!! Update!

Ultimately, it was the rule of free awakening that brought the Spirit Hall a very strong mass base, because awakening Martial Soul is random. Some people can awaken a beast Martial Soul, while others can only awaken a hoe. Although some Martial Soul are indeed Martial Soul, their existence directly improves basic productivity.

For example, people who awaken a silkworm-type Martial Soul.

Even without Soul Skill.

Even if you're not Soul Master.

Even if the Soul Power Level does not reach level ten.

He can also activate his Martial Soul to normally spit out silk.

Whether they take these silk threads to sell or weave cloth at home, of course, weaving cloth requires the corresponding skills, and not just anyone can do it, but in any case, it is a way for ordinary people to make a living and a way to supplement their household income to a certain extent.

However, Dou Two directly blocked this path.

Ordinary people have absolutely no chance to rise above others.

Not everyone has the foresight of Jiang Nannan's mother, who dared to sell her dowry to help her daughter awaken her Martial Soul and try to defy fate.

What will happen to the rest?

He awakened his Martial Soul, but found that it was a Martial Soul with little potential. His Innate Soul Power was not high, only level one or even none, meaning it was not displayed, such as level 0.9. Then, he dared not say that he went bankrupt, but he was severely injured!

Moreover, even so.

Jiang Nannan's mother's illness also started around that time.

To put it bluntly, what commoner's dowry could be as generous as three years' income for a normal family? If someone had such a dowry, they wouldn't be considered a commoner anymore; they would at least be considered a wealthy family.

Therefore, among these ten Gold Soul Coin.

Only half of it was Jiang Nannan's mother's dowry.

The remaining five coins were all saved up little by little by Jiang Nannan's mother through her work.

Of course, all of that is in the past.

now.

That is, after meeting Ye Qingcang.

After the Sky Merchant Guild was established.

Jiang Nannan had already brought her mother to Shrek City to recuperate.

But this is just one example.

This example is called winning the bet.

If she loses the bet, Jiang Nannan will remain an ordinary person. Then, Jiang Nannan mother will die of illness, leaving Jiang Nannan with great regret. Living a normal life, even if she can't stand out, is at least stable. This is the stability that ordinary people seek, which is why there are so few Commoner Soul Master in Dou Two.

Therefore, the Spirit Hall wants to modify Dou Two.

They settled down in Dou Two.

Don't even think about it without spending twenty years.

In other words, at least two generations must be present—that is, the first batch of Commoner Soul Master awakened their Martial Soul for free must have their own children, and those children must also enjoy the benefits of this free martial Martial Soul awakening—for the cycle to be officially established and for the Spirit Hall to take root.

According to the age of six, when Martial Soul is awakened.

Six years later.

At the age of twelve, he graduated from the Elementary Soul Master Academy.

Six more years.

He graduated from the Intermediate Soul Master Academy at the age of eighteen.

Even if we get married on graduation day.

She got married on graduation day and became pregnant that same day.

That would require ten months of pregnancy.

That's equivalent to a year.

In this way, by the time the child is born, grows up, and turns six years old, it will be equivalent to three six-year periods plus a pseudo-year of ten months of pregnancy, which is at least nineteen years to complete this cycle again. In addition, a core group of fighters will be gained, namely those who firmly support the Spirit Hall's policies. Furthermore, it will also allow other resistant civilians to see an example and thus actively participate and cooperate.

What can you do in twenty years?

That's enough for Qian Renxue to become a god!

Therefore, it cannot be said that it is a long way off, but it is certainly a case of being impatient and not being able to eat hot tofu. Even if Qian Renxue Qian Renxue a god, she will still be powerless in the face of the current situation in Dou Two.

Twenty years—that's a fixed standard.

The environment in Dou Two is particularly unfavorable.

Based on a generational age of twenty years.

Ten thousand years is a full five hundred generations.

Five hundred years of enslavement greatly suppressed the thoughts of the common people.

Regarding the Spirit Hall, a villain in history.

The Three Great Empires may lose.

But they can definitely incite the common people below to resist the Spirit Hall.

Therefore, Qian Renxue gave a bitter smile.

Fortunately, she wasn't one to kill conversations, so after grumbling about Ye Qingcang's praise, she changed the subject and talked about Dou Three: "If the Five Great God Kings of Dou Three were to come, I imagine the geniuses who stirred up the storms of Dou Two in Dou Three's history, those who would become gods in the future, would also come to see... I wonder what they would feel if they saw their past selves, just like I don't know how many people in Dou Three Dou Two's history can become gods... In Dou Two's history, in our Dou One era, a full eight people became gods: me, my mother, Tang San, Dai Mubai, Zhu Zhuqing, Zhu Zhuqing, Oscar, Ma Hongjun Ning Rongrong... The world is going to be in chaos again!"
