The two elders, the six ministers, and the General-in-Chief Who Supports the Nation, Hong Wu, and everyone else were still wondering what had happened when they arrived.
After all, the empress rarely summoned everyone at this time.
They were even more puzzled when they found out that it was about the building beneath the emperor's bedroom.
After all, they knew that the empress's bedroom had collapsed.
They knew that it had collapsed on the night of their wedding night.
They knew that something had been found beneath the emperor's bedroom.
After all, the empress didn't order anyone to keep this a secret. She wanted everyone to know that the emperor's bedroom had collapsed because of the building beneath it and that it had nothing to do with her.
What exactly was beneath the emperor's bedroom? What could make the empress mobilize so many people?
However, when they came out of the tombs, all of them seemed to be in a daze.
The impact of the illusion was too great.
Now, they no longer had any doubts about what the empress had said.
They were even more worried about the potential enemies of the human race.
No one said things like, "Since the human race has been developing here for so many years, we won't attract the retaliation of those unknown races if we continue to stay here."
The aboriginals had always been a very headstrong race.
Knowing where the enemy was and killing them all was the style of the aboriginals.
Furthermore, anyone who could reach the Cardinal Heaven level was an outstanding talent. Seeing such a vast world, everyone was even more shocked. Then, they felt a sense of heroism!
There was no one who did not yearn for such a magnificent world.
The only thing that made everyone doubt was that the enemy this time was too strong.
In that illusion, the Kismet Heaven experts were only the most ordinary soldiers, and the Cardinal Heaven experts were only equivalent to the elite winged cavalry warriors.
On that tragic battlefield, there were many Cardinal Heaven experts.
Also, no one knew if that expert who could create a huge fireball was at the top of the Longevity Heaven or higher.
In short, after thousands of years, the human race had not become stronger because of their reproduction. Instead, they had become weaker.
"Sirs, Her Majesty invites everyone to Zichen Palace Hall for dinner," Xin Zhe said as she waited for everyone to arrive.
"Please lead the way, Commander."
Zichen Palace Hall didn't have a table for one or two people like in formal banquets. Instead, there was a big pot on the table. The water inside was constantly boiling, and some ingredients were floating up and down.
The cauldron was surrounded by plates filled with meat, fresh vegetables, and fruits. There was also a famous dish from Earth — pickled cabbage.
"Sit down and have your dinner first," the empress said with a plate in one hand and a pair of chopsticks in the other.
Everyone looked at each other.
Even though Ren Baqian and the empress often ate hotpot, the empress basically didn't allow anyone to dine in the palace. Occasionally, the banquets she gave were formal ones. Naturally, everyone had never eaten hotpot before.
"Take a seat. It's more convenient to talk this way!" the Water Empress said.
Ren Baqian ignored them and poured two plates of meat into the pot. He was prepared to strike first and gain the upper hand.
The main reason was that it was too stressful to eat with a group of Cardinal Heaven experts. If he didn't make the first move, he would probably only be able to lick the plates.
Everyone sat down and imitated the actions of the empress and Ren Baqian. They scooped out the food from the pot to eat. At first, they were rather shy. After a short while, even the doddering Shi Qing's hand speed was like that of a great sorcerer who had been single for sixty years.
Shi Qing picked up a piece of pork rib with his chopsticks and smiled at everyone like a blooming chrysanthemum.
His face seemed to be saying, "I'm old. Give in to me. Don't fight with me."
Everyone smiled at him and said, "Please enjoy, Great Elder."
Shi Qing nodded in satisfaction. Just as he picked up the pork rib, someone beside him snatched it away with a pair of chopsticks.
"Thank you, Great Elder," Ren Baqian said gratefully. Fortunately, Shi Qing was at the table. Even though he was the Great Elder, he wasn't very strong and was about the same level as Ren Baqian.
Ren Baqian could only snatch some food from him.
Other than that, Ren Baqian didn't even have the chance to pick up his chopsticks.
Everyone pounded their stomachs before the empress said, "What do you think after reading it?"
"I have heard from all the officials below. This is what Her Majesty said, right? The human race was driven over. There is another world on the other side of the Sixty Thousand Mountains, and there are tens of thousands of races living there. " Hong Wu put down his chopsticks and smiled. "I originally thought that after conquering the Yun Nation, Great Xia could barely take care of itself, and that I could live in peace for some time. Now that I have a new goal, I feel my blood boiling again.
I would like to request to be transferred to the Sixty Thousand Mountains to guard the border for Her Majesty and open up a path. I want to see if those foreign races are really that powerful! "
"There's no need to doubt them. The few that we met in the Sixty Thousand Mountains were all equivalent to Cardinal Heaven experts," Ren Baqian said as he ate. "And from the illusions, it seems that the Outsiders are stronger than us. There's no doubt about that.
I learned from the herdsman that this is a barren land. Since they banished us humans to this place, there must be a reason behind it.
After so many years, Spirit Wheel and Cardinal Heaven experts have become experts, and it is almost impossible to see anyone above this level, which proves this point. "
"What's the reason? I find it strange as well. In the illusion, the human race wasn't considered weak, and there were many Cardinal Heaven and Spirit Wheel experts, "Tu Wan raised her head and asked.
"They lack something. It could be spiritual energy, the vitality of heaven and earth, or something else. There must be something missing here. Therefore, after so many years, the number of humans has increased from 100,000 to hundreds of millions, but their strength hasn't improved. Instead, it has regressed," Ren Baqian said resolutely.
"In addition, don't think that they can forget about us. There are still people in the Sixty Thousand Mountains who are monitoring us. Those herdsmen are responsible for this responsibility. "
Many people put down their chopsticks after hearing what he said.
"After so many years, the human race has become weaker, while they are recuperating. The enemy is strong, and we are weak. How can we go back?" These aboriginal bigwigs finally felt like they were being beaten.
In the past, it was always the aboriginals who beat the other countries and crushed them with their strength.
Now, they were being crushed by others, and they were at their wits' end.
In terms of numbers, there were countless races in that world.
In terms of strength, they couldn't be compared.
As time passed, the gap was gradually widening.
"Will they also attack each other?" Qin Chuan suddenly asked.
"It's possible, but we can't expect them to become weaker than us after so many years. It's like a war between two countries. We can't expect the other country to suddenly erupt in civil strife and then kill itself, right? "
"It's not impossible." Qin Chuan laughed. "Isn't Great Xia playing itself to death?"
"If we don't return to that world, we won't be able to recover to our former glory. However, when we return, the other races will still be eyeing us covetously, and we won't even be able to stand firm. This situation is indeed difficult to deal with! Zhao Prince Consort, I'm afraid we will have to rely on those strange tools of yours. "Shi Qing smiled at Ren Baqian.
Ren Baqian nodded and said, "Technology does need to be developed. Weapons … Actually, I didn't want to develop weapons at first. After all, the disadvantage of having fewer aboriginals will be magnified in the face of guns and cannons. However, under such circumstances, weapons must be developed. "
Ren Baqian felt that no matter how powerful the other party was, as long as they gathered their troops, 10 little fatties would be enough to make them piss blood.
If 10 wasn't enough, then 10 more would be enough.
There was nothing that a nuclear bomb couldn't destroy.
If there was, then the yield wasn't large enough and the quantity wasn't large enough.
"However, there are two problems. First, the development of technology requires the advancement of the entire society's technology to a certain level, and the people's understanding of technology must reach a certain level. This is the foundation. We can't build spaceships while the entire country is still in a primitive society.
All aspects of technology are interrelated and promote each other.
We must start immediately to raise the cultural level of the people.
Education for all is imperative. "
Ren Baqian and the empress looked at each other. They didn't expect this matter to be raised so quickly.
"The other thing is the experts! Weapons may not be able to eliminate the experts of the other party. In fact, we may not even have the chance to use our weapons when the experts of the other party launch a surprise attack. We must have experts of the same level to restrain the other party. "
"I'm afraid this is even more difficult than creating Big Ivan. After all, with the popularization of technology and culture, technology will always improve. Even if it takes a few decades or a hundred years, we will eventually achieve our goal.
As for experts … Experts who can contend with the experts of the other party can't be accumulated over time, especially when we are in a land of exile. We may never be able to produce experts who can contend with the other party! "
