" Xiao Gang, why are there so many contradictions in these imperial strategies and tactics? Did you make a mistake in writing them?"
Having studied the art of political maneuvering for a long time Bibi Dong finally couldn't help but voice her doubts, expressing her utter bewilderment.
The political strategies collected and summarized by these lovers were indeed very mysterious, but the problem was that there were many core points within them, and most of them were self-contradictory. Strangely, however, they could be explained from any core point, which confused her.
I thought you'd wait a little longer before asking me!
Upon hearing this, Wang Hao, who was preparing breakfast for Bibi Dong, straightened up and explained with a smile, "I have studied the rules and regulations and operating styles of all the sects and forces on the continent, and I have even studied the Great Emperor for a period of time."
I have summarized many governing philosophies from these forces, which are naturally quite different. However, the fact that their governing philosophies have survived proves that they do have some merit.
But in truth, they all lead to the same goal, and are essentially based on the same principle. You don't need to deliberately imitate a particular governing philosophy; you only need to use your own experience as a foundation and absorb the essence that suits you.
"Why don't I see any similarities?"
Bibi Dong felt even more bewildered. After carefully reviewing her thoughts, she realized that there was nothing in common among those governing philosophies; in fact, some were even diametrically opposed.
"Your current state is like playing chess; those involved are often blinded, while onlookers see clearly. Only by stepping outside the game can Insight the essence of things."
After thinking for a moment, Wang Hao decided to use a simpler and more direct way to explain.
"Let's start with the essence of the kingly way. The core essence of this governing philosophy can be summarized in one sentence: if the opponent is disobedient, then crush him."
And what about the Tyrannical Dao? Even the obedient ones will be crushed.
The way of Heaven is this: my friend, today it's your turn to be crushed.
The Emperor's Way means that even if you don't want to be crushed, you have no choice but to be crushed!
Benevolence means telling him before you run him over.
The art of war is to overwhelm with the simplest and most efficient methods.
The way of the law is that I will ruthlessly crush you according to the law.
The strategy of alliances and counter-alliances is simply to gather a group of people to crush you.
What is the way of the strongest? It is the sincere worship of numerous underlings who take numbers, queue up, pull strings, and go through back channels, kneeling on both knees and begging you to run over them, and so on.
These paths each have their own advantages and disadvantages, and none of them are perfect. Based on this, I have deduced a completely new governing philosophy—the socialist path.
Its core is to create an unparalleled momentum, then use that momentum to suppress all enemies, and crush all opponents with the wheels of history.
Do you understand now?
"Ah! I... I understand!"
Bibi Dong was in a dazed state the whole time, nodded subconsciously, and was quite surprised after realizing what was happening.
Although I always felt that something was off about what he said, upon closer reflection, it did seem to make sense.
This blunt explanation finally opened Bibi Dong's eyes, and when she looked back at those different governing philosophies, she immediately saw their most essential core.
"Indeed, no matter what kind of political maneuvering is used, the goal is always to crush the opponent; it's just that the methods used may differ."
At this moment, Bibi Dong understood. All the political strategies she had learned before rapidly merged in her mind, and she began to have her own insights, laying a solid foundation for her future Reign Over the World.
" Xiao Gang, why don't you come and help me in your true form? My current strength is more than enough to easily defeat that old bastard Qian Daoliu. From now on, I'll be in charge of the Spirit Hall."
With her eyes shining as she gazed at her beloved, Bibi Dong's possessiveness surged to its limit, and her affection for this man grew ever stronger.
"I've already said I'm not Yu Xiaogang, and I have other arrangements for Yu Xiaogang. I need him to infiltrate those sects and even the Great Emperor to study those high-level Martial Soul."
At the same time, we can use this opportunity to access the many legacies left on the Douluo Continent by the gods of the Divine Realm, so as to know ourselves and our enemy, and win every battle!
After all, there are no gods in the future we depict, and a war is inevitable.
Wang Hao stubbornly insisted that he was not Yu Xiaogang, but Bibi Dong instinctively ignored him.
"Alright, alright, I know, you're just afraid I'll fight that tigress Liu Erlong!"
Bibi Dong has already pinned the blame on her love rival, believing that her beloved has indeed fallen for that bitch and doesn't want to see the two of them turn on each other and fight.
Wang Hao glanced at Bibi Dong's jealous expression and smiled smugly to himself.
After spending some time with her, he had figured out what kind of person she was. Even if she didn't say it, he could roughly guess what she was thinking. He also confirmed that she had a very good imagination, which made it much easier for him to fool her.
He couldn't help but express his heartfelt gratitude for this.
"Such a high-quality tool is hard to find!"
Are there so many orphans in the Great Emperor?
Picking up the task progress report that Bibi Dong had placed on the desk, Wang Hao was stunned by the shocking number on it, even with his composure.
He had previously sent Bibi Dong to gather homeless orphans from the Great Emperor, limiting them to those under ten years old, to cultivate Bibi Dong's future team.
How could over a billion orphans have accumulated in such a short time?
It's important to understand that the Douluo Continent is a vast region, with the combined population of the Great Emperor reaching approximately one hundred billion. To have one billion orphans under the age of ten among such a large population is simply outrageous.
And this is only the amount that Bibi Dong gathered with the help of the Spirit Hall in half a year. As time goes on, this number will continue to increase, and it may eventually soar to 10 billion.
This already accounts for one-tenth of the total population.
It is heartbreaking to see more than one-tenth of the children in a nation being orphans, and many of them are under the age of ten.
"There's nothing surprising about it. Most Soul Master these days are uncontrollable. A single battle's aftershocks can destroy a village or even a town, creating a large number of orphans."
However, this is not the main reason. The real problem lies with the Great Emperor and those sects and aristocratic families. They are all tacitly suppressing the common people. The most direct means is to increase taxes in their spheres of influence, so that the common people cannot have extra funds to develop themselves.
This wouldn't have been a problem in itself, but the greed of the human heart is limitless. Some people, driven by greed, increase taxes. In normal years, things are fine, but once a Scourge or man-made calamity strikes, families are destroyed and lives are lost, resulting in a large number of orphans.
Every year, tens of millions of orphans die tragically in the wild. In the eyes of those powerful families, clans, and imperial nobles, these children are nothing more than a group of lowly commoners, no different from ants, and naturally, they don't care about the lives of these people.
Bibi Dong sneered. She hadn't been exposed to these things before and didn't know much about them, but as the plan was implemented, the information that Yanran provided made her deeply understand the ugliness of this era, and strengthened her determination to help her lover realize that great wish and create a new era.
"Indeed, this world needs change!"
After a long silence, Wang Hao's deadpan expression, which had previously resembled Saitama's, suddenly turned serious and sharp, and his entire demeanor changed drastically.
No matter what world you're in, children are always the most innocent, and the bloody numbers in the Douluo Continent really shocked him.
" Xiao Gang, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan will inevitably become a stumbling block in our future transformation, you..."
Carefully observing her beloved's facial expression, Bibi Dong voiced a question she had long wanted to ask: to ascertain how much affection her beloved still held for the family he came from.
Before Bibi Dong could finish speaking, Wang Hao decisively waved his hand to interrupt, coldly saying, "Those aristocratic families, sects, and imperial nobles are all bad. We'll wipe them all out when the time comes."
There is no place for these people in my future!
Having inherited his predecessor's memories, Wang Hao was acutely aware of the depravity within the Clear Sky Sect. From the Clear Sky Sect, one could see what kind of monstrosities the other forces on the Douluo Continent were like.
This kind of garbage must be removed, otherwise it will inevitably become a cancer on all mankind.
This is quite similar to the powerful families in Huaxia history. Although it's an exaggeration to say that none of them were good, the practice of eliminating half of them in a two-way selection process inevitably resulted in many surviving.
In his new era, these toxic and harmful elements are unnecessary and must be ruthlessly eliminated.
As for the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan!
Heh... What does the life or death of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan have to do with me, Wang?
Even if Bibi Dong slaughtered the entire Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, leaving no one alive, he wouldn't have the slightest objection.
Seeing her lover's cold and resolute expression, Bibi Dong's killing intent surged.
" Xiao Gang, I will make everyone who has hurt you regret ever being born."
In her view, her lover's cold-blooded and resolute attitude must mean that he had suffered unimaginable humiliation in the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. Otherwise, who would be so determined to destroy the family they came from?
Not to mention that her lover's biological father was among them.
It was obvious that the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan had hurt her lover far too deeply. Bibi Dong had taken on this grudge and would make sure that the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan was wiped out from top to bottom in the future!
And so, the future fate of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan was sealed.
"I'm planning to recruit Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan as a trusted confidant. What do you think?"
Not wanting her beloved to continue dwelling on painful memories, Bibi Dong changed the subject, revealing an idea she wanted her beloved to give her advice on.
" Chrysanthemum Guan! He does have a lot of potential, but is he the Chrysanthemum Guan one? I remember he was partners with Ghost Douluo, and the two of them even created a domain-type Martial Soul Fusion Skill."
After reviewing the information about Chrysanthemum Guan, Wang Hao agreed with Bibi Dong's suggestion. Moreover, in the original timeline, both Chrysanthemum Guan and Ghost Douluo were subdued by Bibi Dong and became her two signature fighters.
Why did Bibi Dong only mention Chrysanthemum Guan? Shouldn't she have subdued Ghost Douluo as well?
"That man from the Clear Sky Sect has a cousin named Tang Feng. I don't know how, but she took a liking to Yue Guan and has now come to Spirit City with him."
"If we can win him over, we might be able to get in touch with that man and at least prevent him from siding with Qian Daoliu."
Bibi Dong was determined to get Tang Feng and Chrysanthemum Douluo because Golden Crocodile Douluo was on Qian Daoliu's side, which meant that the other party had made contact with that monstrous man. This would greatly interfere with her future efforts to kill that Qian Xunji and to truly take control of the Spirit Hall.
Therefore, this presents an opportunity for Chrysanthemum Douluo and Tang Feng!
What Bibi Dong didn't notice was that Wang Hao's originally sharp eyes suddenly widened into a blank stare after hearing these words, and then reverted to their dead fish-like shape, indicating that he was in a terrible mood.
"What's going on? Wasn't Tang Feng supposed to be watching over Ah Yin, that tool? How come she's gotten together with Chrysanthemum Guan and even followed him all the way to Spirit City?"
She really doesn't take her cheap cousin's words to heart!
Wang Hao was in a state of confusion, feeling that his younger cousin needed to be disciplined, as she was ignoring her dear brother's words.
