Although Su Changfa did not release any spiritual energy, Li Yao still felt that he was out of breath.
"However …"
He said drily, "Most of the Cultivators have helped the ordinary people sincerely, haven't they?"
"So what?"
"As the old saying goes, one can be rewarded with kindness, and one can be punished with kindness! The great kindness of the Cultivators to the ordinary people can never be fully repaid in three lifetimes. Then, do the ordinary people really remember the kindness forever and repay the kindness wholeheartedly without doing anything else for three lifetimes?
"The kindness becomes a heavy burden and adds the last weight to the hatred that is condensed by jealousy, fear, and desperation just now!
"Perhaps, the rise of the theory of original sins was indeed boosted by the priests of the Sand Primitive Sector in secret. But they were merely revealing the truth that all the ordinary people had been holding in their hearts, which had been condensed into their blood, and their bones. That was all.
"Have you ever heard a story named 'Leader's New Clothes', Fellow Cultivator Li?
"For a long time, the Cultivators and the ordinary people of the Martial Meritocrats civilization had weaved a 'Leader's New Clothes' with the most hypocritical morals to cover the natural, irreconcilable contradiction between the two parties!
"The natives of the Martial Meritocrats Sector who grew up in such an environment, both the Cultivators and the ordinary people, were brainwashed since birth. Their eyes were all covered in a membrane, and they lost part of their vision. As time went by, they all believed that the 'Leader's New Clothes' did exist.
"The natives of the Sand Primitive Sector, on the other hand, were the innocent children who saw through the truth with their most primitive animal instincts. They tore the nonexistent new clothes into pieces and completely exposed the cruel truth to everyone!
"Right now, the Cultivators and the ordinary people can no longer pretend that they are 'equal'.
"As the saying goes, 'inequality is more important than scarcity'. If there were no such things as' spiritual roots' or 'techniques' in the first place, and the whole world were ordinary people, it would be fine. But as it happened, some people boasted spiritual roots and techniques that allowed them to enjoy the wealth, power, and wonderful lives that other people could never enjoy in their entire life. Why?
"A person's happiness does not increase with the improvement of material conditions, but is obtained by comparing them with each other! In a society where there are Cultivators, even though the Cultivators have done countless good deeds and improved the material conditions, the increase of happiness they bring is far from enough to offset the emptiness, depression, and desperation of the ordinary people when they are compared with the Cultivators!
Li Yao was so nervous that he couldn't breathe.
He suddenly felt that, compared to everything that happened in the Martial Meritocrats Sector, the problems that he encountered in the Heaven's Origin Sector, the Flying Star Sector, and the Blood Demon Sector were as easy to solve as the arithmetic of a student!
Su Changfa went on. "Just like that, the 'original sin theory' grew more and more heated in the Martial Meritocrats civilization. It was supported by the public opinion and the general public. From the national media to the taxi drivers on the streets, everybody was discussing the issue of improving the status of the ordinary people and restricting the abilities of the Cultivators!
"This wave is unstoppable!"
"Don't forget that, as I said just now, the Alliance of Martial Meritocrats implemented an election system of one person, one vote. Also, the absolute equality between the Cultivators and the ordinary people was advocated. There were a lot of ordinary representatives and civil servants in the parliament and the government agencies of all levels!
"What kind of policies and bills would be proposed by such a government and such a public opinion eventually?
"Eventually, the highest authorities of the Alliance of Martial Meritocrats accepted the original sin theory and established an organization named 'Committee of Equal Human Beings', which was to investigate the problems of the Cultivators in the past hundred years and punish them for their 'unjust gains'! They were also to be monitored all the time. What they were doing every second and to what extent they had grasped a certain technique had to be made public! "
"What do you mean by 'unjust gains'?" Li Yao asked.
"It's basically the benefits that the Cultivators got from their techniques," Su Changfa said. "As long as the techniques are absolutely beyond the grasp of the ordinary people, they will be regarded as' unjust gains'!"
Li Yao couldn't stand it anymore. "Don't the Cultivators resist when somebody is riding on their neck and shitting on them?"
"Resist what? Don't forget that the Cultivators of the Martial Meritocrats Sector have been brainwashed by the hypocrisy that their predecessors inculcated for a thousand years. They consider themselves to be 'slaves of the civilization of mankind'! "
Su Changfa chuckled. "Many Cultivators are believers of the 'original sin theory' and members of the 'Committee of Equal Human Beings' themselves! They believe that they have indeed committed the most heinous crimes by depriving the ordinary people of their happiness and competitiveness! Also, compared to the ordinary people, their strength is indeed too strong. No wonder the ordinary people are so scared that they must be restrained!
"Such Cultivators are almost the saints of saints. They are known as the 'atonists'!
"Some of the other Cultivators, like Fellow Cultivator Li said, are unwilling to be ridden on their neck and shitted on. But what can they do when faced with the overwhelming public opinion? Also, without a thousand years of brainwashing and education, they don't know how to attack the ordinary people at all. Once they attack, the accusation of the 'original sin theory' will be confirmed, and the situation will be even worse!
"Such Cultivators who are burning with fury but have nowhere to vent their anger are known as the 'liberals'!
"Most of the other Cultivators, although dissatisfied with the 'original sin theory', have never thought of resisting at all, because once they do, their entire race will be torn apart!
"They think that they can satisfy the appetite of the ordinary people and clear their doubts by making concessions to them and carrying out appeasement policies. Eventually, the Martial Meritocrats civilization will be united, stable, and developed!
"Such Cultivators are naturally the cowardly appeasers!"
"All in all, as long as the Cultivators are not mentally prepared to suppress all the ordinary people and completely change the social form, they will not be able to bring out half of their strength when faced with the overwhelming tides made of ordinary people!
"Just like that, the great liquidation has begun!"
Scratching his long beard, Su Changfa said gloatingly, "I'm afraid that Fellow Cultivator Li has guessed that such a liquidation is destined to go out of control! The investigation soon turned into trouble, and the liquidation gradually escalated into confiscation. Basically, according to the definition of the 'Committee of Equal Human Beings', ninety percent of the Cultivators and ninety percent of their lives have been 'unlawfully profited'!
"Such blatant behavior. Even though the Cultivators who have been brainwashed for a thousand years and are willing to be slaves of the civilization of mankind, some of them finally couldn't stand it anymore and rose up to resist!
"Therefore, the 'Spiritual Valley Massacre' broke out!
"It was a conflict that suddenly broke out when the inspectors of the 'Committee of Equal Human Beings' led a large army of ordinary people to investigate a Cultivation sect named 'Spiritual Valley Sect'!
"Come to think of it, the conflict was quite uncanny. It was very likely that the priests of the Sand Primitive Sector and the people of the Chiyou Cult were behind it. They even lurked among the disciples of the Spiritual Valley Sect and the army of ordinary people and attacked each other brutally in the tense atmosphere!
"The cause of the Spiritual Valley Massacre is untraceable. But as it turned out, more than a thousand ordinary soldiers were slain by the Cultivators of the Spiritual Valley Sect!
"More than a thousand ordinary soldiers were killed by the flying swords and sabers of dozens of Cultivators of the Spiritual Valley Sect!
"The scene that the ordinary people were most scared of finally happened!
"Under the instigation of the priests of the Sand Primitive Sector and the disciples of the Chiyou Cult, the idea that the Cultivators had finally revealed their hideous face and were going to purge all the ordinary people spread to every corner of the world!
"In order to defend the lives and glory of the ordinary people, they had to take action first and take down all the extremist Cultivators!
"It was the only thought of the ordinary people who were panicked and agitated.
"The civil war of the Martial Meritocrats civilization officially broke out!
"On one side of the war were the 'liberal' Cultivators who refused to be investigated and cleared for their own rights.
"On the other side, on the other side, were the 'expiators' who were deeply poisoned and all the ordinary people.
"The appeasement Cultivators split up as a result. Most of them joined the liberal side. As a result, the number of the liberal Cultivators expanded rapidly and became the majority.
"But faced with the army of ordinary people that was as vast as an ocean, they were still the minority.
"Don't forget that there are still a lot of brave, fearless citizens of the Sand Primitive Sector in the Alliance of Martial Meritocrats right now!
"The natives of the Sand Primitive Sector are somewhat similar to the 'Iron Plateau natives' that Fellow Cultivator Li mentioned. They live in the harsh environment all year round. Even though their spiritual root has not been awakened, their combat ability is still multiple times higher than that of ordinary people. Under the hypnosis of the Grand Chancellor of the Chiyou Cult, their potentials can even be triggered and transformed into 'berserk warriors'!
"Also, in the past hundred years, in order to annihilate the devils of the Sand Primitive Sector, the Martial Meritocrats Sector had offered them a large batch of magical equipment and helped them raise an enormous army of ordinary people!
"Right now, the magical equipment and the army were all targeting the liberal Cultivators of the Martial Meritocrats civilization!
"The expiators did not have a large number of Cultivators. On one hand, they wanted to 'expiate their sins' and regain the trust of the ordinary people. On the other hand, they wanted to win the civil war. Therefore, they could only produce popular magical equipment and arm the ordinary people on a large scale!
"Because the physical fitness of the natives of the Sand Primitive Sector was better than that of the natives of the Martial Meritocrats Sector, and they were more adapted to the cruel war, most of the people who were armed with magical equipment were natives of the Sand Primitive Sector!
"The civil war lasted thirty years. The Cultivators and the ordinary people, who were as close as family in the past, confronted each other on the battlefield. Their blood dyed the yellow sand red!
"However capable the Cultivators were, they were made of flesh and blood after all. They could be swallowed by the ordinary people with their overwhelming advantage in numbers!
"After thirty years of civil war, the liberal Cultivators completely failed. They perished or surrendered one after another.
"The expiators who fought in the frontline were not much better off, either. They suffered heavy losses, too, and their capability plummeted.
"In short, in the entire Martial Meritocrats civilization, the strength of the Cultivators hit rock bottom and was doomed forever.
"The strength of the ordinary people, especially those from the Sand Primitive Sector, was expanded to the maximum!"
