Chapter 88 If you don’t lose, you don’t win
……
The dinner went smoothly. Nan Feng never acted like a monster when eating. This was one of his few qualities, or his basic respect for food.
Of course, after the meal is over, that's another story.
"Brother Tianfeng, do you know why I help the Tiandou Empire?" Nan Feng said suddenly.
Dai Tianfeng was stunned, "I wonder what the elder means?"
Wuhun Palace has always encouraged conflicts between the two empires during peacetime and appeased them during war. This situation has been going on for hundreds of years, but it is the first time that they almost directly sided with each other like this time.
And, to be honest, they couldn't understand what Wuhundian wanted to do this time.
They can understand that Wuhun Palace does not want Xingluo to destroy Tiandou, but similarly, Wuhun Palace does not want to see the two empires become stronger.
The stronger the country, the better the treatment it can provide. When the two empires develop to the point where they can provide treatment that Wuhun Palace cannot, Wuhun Palace will lose the necessity of its existence.
Everyone can see that over the past millennium, the number of soul masters in the mainland has been increasing. If things go on like this, the noble status of soul masters will definitely disappear.
Rare things are valuable, not only those precious gems, but also people.
The number of soul masters today is not large, accounting for less than one thousandth of the total population of the mainland. There may not be one soul master among a thousand people. This is why a social system can be formed for ordinary people to support soul masters. But if the soul masters The numbers are increasing, and the fittest will survive. One day, soul masters will be ruined, and even titled Douluo will no longer be legendary figures.
This situation had little impact on the two empires, because their social rules were established based on the majority of the people.
But Wuhun Palace is in an awkward situation. It is an organization composed of pure soul masters. When the soul masters lose their noble status, Wuhun Palace is no longer noble.
Looking at the current continent, there are nearly one hundred thousand soul masters registered in the statistics alone. What if we add those soul masters who are not counted by the Spirit Hall?
Most of the sects, as well as the eight major families, including some nobles, will not expose their information to Wuhun Palace. After all, a big tree attracts people, and it will inevitably attract people to plot.
Therefore, in addition to the soul masters counted by Wuhun Palace, there are also a large number of soul masters on the mainland who are not included in the statistics. The total number of soul masters in the entire continent is at least tens of thousands.
In other words, the number of soul masters in Douluo Continent now exceeds 100,000, and in another hundred years, it is expected to exceed 200,000.
But a thousand years ago, the total number of soul masters in the entire continent was probably less than 10,000.
Why a white goose like the Tiandou royal family could rise up and become a royal family in a country during the war? There is no other reason than that there were too few soul masters a thousand years ago.
Even the big white goose martial spirit of the Tiandou royal family is still powerful for most people.
After the establishment of the two major empires, information on the mainland began to circulate, marriages and children between soul masters and non-soul masters became more frequent, and the number of soul masters also began to increase significantly.
But in a thousand years, the number of soul masters has only increased by this amount. Is this really reasonable?
According to Xingluo's statistics over hundreds of years, it was found that Wuhun Palace deliberately controlled the number of soul masters. Even though the two empires traced their history back only a thousand years, the prototype core of Wuhun Palace could be traced back tens of thousands of years.
For thousands of years, the number of soul masters in Douluo Continent has remained almost unchanged. However, after the establishment of the two empires, the number of soul masters began to rise rapidly.
But this upward trend changed hundreds of years ago. The number of soul masters returned to a stable level again, and even almost stabilized. It did not continue to increase. The total number of soul masters during the same period remained at around one hundred thousand.
And this is all thanks to Wuhun Palace. They secretly instigate fights between sects, and also instigate wars between Xingluo and Tiandou. People will die in wars, and conflicts between soul masters and sects will also kill people.
In other words, it is because of the existence of war that the number of soul masters has not gotten out of control, and the soul masters of Douluo Continent can maintain their noble status!
Only the Wuhun Palace, a pure soul master organization, can maintain its noble status. This was the fundamental reason why Wuhundian encouraged the two empires to go to war, but did not want either of them to destroy the other.
But now, the Tiandou Empire has become more united than ever because of Nan Feng's troubles. Faced with such a Tiandou Empire, it is impossible for Xingluo to start a war in a short time, because nothing can be gained, but only increased wealth. consumption.
If there is no war and both sides recuperate, the number of soul masters that should be consumed by the war will gradually get out of control!
If things continue like this, the soul master's noble status will no longer be guaranteed!
This is not good for Wuhun Palace at all!
"Because I am kind-hearted and peace-loving." Nan Feng said.
"The Tiandou Empire is getting worse year by year, but Xingluo is thriving. If nothing changes, a war to destroy the country will definitely break out in the not-too-distant future."
"What does war mean? I don't need to say more, right?"
Dai Tianfeng nodded, "So, Elder Nan Feng wants Tiandou and Xingluo to maintain a balance? So that Wuhun Palace can profit from it?"
"No, I don't intend to let anyone benefit." Nan Feng said.
"I hope Tiandou and Xingluo can promote each other in a peaceful way."
"Just like the thing I sold you today, if Tiandou bought it, Xingluo would definitely buy it, and in order to get rid of your dependence on my little thing, you will definitely make improvements based on that kind of crossbow chariot and create a transcendent That thing’s new weapon.”
"And in order not to fall behind Xing Luo, the Tian Dou Empire will also find ways to become stronger."
"The two empires can become stronger without war."
Dai Tianfeng was stunned, "But the two empires are getting stronger and stronger, which is not good for Wuhun Palace."
"I don't care." Nan Feng said.
"Things that cannot keep up with the times should be eliminated as a matter of course, whether it is Wuhun Palace, the two empires, or the seven sects, it is the same."
"Wouldn't it be better to let Xing Luo destroy Tian Dou and unify the continent without any more wars?" Dai Tianfeng said.
"Then what do you think will happen if Wuhundian is allowed to destroy the seven major sects and eight major families, and eliminate all the soul masters of all sizes on the Douluo Continent, leaving only Wuhundian alone?" Nan Feng asked rhetorically. .
Dai Tianfeng was speechless for a moment.
Then the Wuhun Palace can't go to heaven?
"I always believe that power leads to corruption, and absolute power will inevitably lead to absolute corruption," Nan Feng said.
"Once human beings lose the threat of external forces, the desires of people standing on high places will be completely out of control."
“With competition, there is progress, and with pressure, there is motivation.”
"If there is no opponent, it means there is no winning or losing. But if you can't lose, will you still think about winning?"
"..."
