Smart people are really hard to fool.
Chen Qing looked at Shen Laoqi, but wasn't angry. Some things were bound to erupt sooner or later, and needed to be resolved eventually. If he couldn't even convince the person in front of him, then there was really no point in continuing. With so much information on various versions of the story, if he were to act as a lone ranger, would he be afraid of not making a name for himself?
Faced with the questioning, Chen Qing said directly, "To be honest, in the current situation, no one in this world has experience, not even me. We can only take it one step at a time. The contradictions you mentioned do exist, but the propaganda about Samsara over the years has made many people mentally prepared. Perhaps your child is some unknown reincarnated person, or even perhaps it's your elder who has reincarnated. Does that mean you shouldn't love your child?"
"That's because the person who reincarnates has no memories of their past life!" Shen Qi said. "It's like the food served in a restaurant on the street. No matter how dirty or messy it is, as long as you haven't seen it with your own eyes, you won't see it and it will stay clean. Samsara is the same. As long as the other party has no memories, and you don't know and I don't know, we can naturally get along harmoniously."
"That settles it then?" Chen Qing laughed. "By the same logic, isn't it only natural that those who Samsara don't have memories of their past lives?"
"Would the Lord be willing to do this?" Shen Qi looked at the other person very seriously. This was the crux of the contradiction. If the other person could forget everything from before, then they could indeed blend in. After all, if their memories started from scratch and their appearance was the same as everyone else's, who could tell them apart?
"Most of them can be done," Chen Qing said earnestly.
"So you mean there are still some privileged individuals?" Shen Qi frowned.
"The same applies to you," Chen Qing said with a smile. "Would you really want to forget your past life after a thousand years of Samsara?"
Seventh Master Shen: "."
"Anyone with sufficient cultivation and enough Power of Merit and Virtue can make a significant contribution to this world, so why not?" Chen Qing asked earnestly, "What do you think?"
"That sounds good, but, my lord, will your compatriots answer?"
"They have to agree." Chen Qing stood up. "But that depends on how smoothly my trip goes."
Where is my lord going?
"Go back." Chen Qing looked at the Human Dao, "I trust you two the most. After I leave, you will temporarily take charge of the internal affairs of Liuzhou. If I can return safely, everything will return to normal. I will keep my promise to Samsara the memories of 99% of the outsiders. As for the remaining special individuals, they must ensure that their identities are not revealed, otherwise I will deal with them immediately."
Shen Qi and Wei Gongcheng exchanged a glance. They agreed with Chen Qing's proposed solution. If the other party could do it, they were unwilling to easily give up the current Jiangnan.
After all, the current prosperous era was created through their personal participation and collaboration.
Who would willingly destroy their hard work?
But Chen Qing's words
"Does the Lord mean there's a risk in your return this time?"
"The risk is considerable." Chen Qing nodded. "What if I don't come back?"
Their hearts skipped a beat; was the risk really that high?
Even when the Dragon Palace Mystic Realm opened, with such great risks, the Lord never said he wouldn't return.
"Don't be nervous," Chen Qing smiled. "I was just saying."
"You'd better not say that," Shen Qi said with a wry smile. "It's really quite alarming."
"Alright," Chen Qing said with a smile. "After I leave, keep a close eye on two places. One is the north. If Ziyue needs any support, you must immediately find a way to mobilize it. The north is of utmost importance. If we can't establish a foothold there, even with all the resources we have now, we will be at a disadvantage."
"That serious?" Shen Qi frowned. He had never understood why Jiangnan, with its already large territory, shouldn't be focusing on maximizing its benefits before pursuing other goals.
According to his calculations, it would take at least four or five years for the Southeast and the West Sea to catch up with the level of the Jiangnan. Going to the North to provoke those giant snakes now would clearly not be a wise move.
But now it seems there's something in the north that we must risk going up there to get it.
"I understand." Wei Gongcheng nodded. "Rest assured, my lord, I will do my utmost to help Lord Ziyue with whatever her conditions."
Chen Qing nodded, then looked seriously at Wei Gongcheng: "There's another one, and that's these newly arrived spirits."
Upon hearing Wei Gongcheng's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly asked, "What does the lord intend for me to do?"
"You will personally oversee their management!" Chen Qing said, narrowing his eyes. "Because of a special treaty, these five hundred people will not have their memories erased, but their existence must never be known to ordinary people. Do you understand what I mean?"
What if they leak it themselves?
"Kill!" Chen Qing said without hesitation, "Kill them immediately. Suppress the spirits and keep them under the watchful eye of the Underworld. Only by establishing your authority will they respect you. Those people are arrogant and will definitely not submit to you. In the end, you will probably have to make an example of them."
Upon hearing this, Wei Gongcheng's eyes lit up considerably. It seemed that the lord was not just going through the motions and truly intended to treat everyone equally, even entrusting him with the power of life and death over his fellow countrymen.
Regardless of whether it was hypocrisy or not, as long as he remained unchanged, Wei Gongcheng decided to remain loyal to him.
Shen Qi was also shocked by Chen Qing's delegation of authority, and remained silent for a long time. After a while, he seemed to remember something and asked, "But I heard that there is another batch that will Samsara in the West Sea?"
"Well, this group is a bit special," Chen Qing said with a smile. "They are more concerned about their skin color and don't want to Samsara as a Central Plains person. There's nothing we can do but let them have their way and send them to the West Sea barbarian home."
"Huh?" Shen Qi and Wei Gongcheng both taken aback.
They didn't want to be people of the Central Plains because of their skin color; they'd rather Samsara as barbarians of the West Sea?
Are you out of your mind?
We, the people of the Central Plains, have delicate and handsome features, and are blessed with a unique physique. Those barbarian people of the West Sea, on the other hand, are all sculpted with sharp, chiseled features, have large pores, and are covered in a foul odor. Is it possible that anyone would prefer to be like them?
If those barbarian people had the chance to Samsara as people from the Central Plains, they would probably have to kneel down and lick the boots of the Underworld!
"It seems," Shen Qi immediately understood, and chuckled, "That even in your hometown, sir, racial disputes are not uncommon."
"Haha," Chen Qing laughed, "I guess so."
Things are alright now, but it will be a real headache when those Black Lives Matter activists come in. Although there are almost no Black people in power in the five districts, they haven't been wiped out. On the contrary, it's said that they still have an exaggerated birth rate in the digital age, blackening half of the population in four districts. It's estimated that after the area is fully opened up, those guys will inevitably come over. Those white pigs are proud of their skin color and are willing to go to marginalized places, but these Black Lives Matter activists probably won't be as proud as these white people.
Chen Qing didn't care much about skin color, but she was somewhat worried about some of the inherent flaws in these people.
Of course, that's all for later. Right now, the key is whether my trip to the Federation will go smoothly.
Thinking of this, Chen Qing silently looked up at the sky, a sense of unease rising in his heart.
There is an expectation of returning to their original home, but more than that, there is vigilance.
He knew very well that the Federation would never tolerate an uncontrollable person so easily, and that they must have some special means to dare to let him go this time!
The next day.
The Federation Military District's location and the top figures of the Central China Region were all present, and the entire opening process was still organized by Wu Xiaoli.
Standing beside a huge instrument, Wu Xiaoli looked at the more than twenty people sitting silently below, her hands behind her back trembling uncontrollably.
The number of people who came was not large, but they were all representatives of the top forces in Central China. Clearly, all forces attached great importance to the fact that Chen Qing had been sent here!
Sitting in the middle, Zhang Zhengyuan glanced at the time, then looked up and said, "Let's begin."
