"Fate is something that depends on the people. The people of the divine continent are experts in internal strife but outsiders are outsiders!"
Tian Xuanzi's words explained the true meaning behind the loss of fate in the divine continent.
Pi Muer didn't understand it but Ding Yu did.
Fate was related to the people. When the people were united and united, they would be able to gather a stronger fate.
The reason why the founding ancestor was able to establish the new divine continent during the chaotic times was probably related to the huge amount of fate he gathered. As the saying goes, those who win the hearts of the people will win the world.
Looking at the past dynasties, the so-called wise emperors all knew that water could carry a boat but it could also capsize it. Unfortunately, it was easier to start a business than to keep it. Many emperors used the name of complying with the will of the heavens to achieve their political goals. But once they occupied a high position, they would forget everything else and ignore the true meaning of 'a just cause gets more support while an unjust cause gets less support'.
The most classic example would be the First Emperor of all times. This person was a man of great talent and strategy. He unified the world and established the Great Qin Dynasty, which should have lasted for many generations.
However, after unifying the six states, in order to stabilize the regime, he went against the trend. He abolished the hundred schools of thought and reigned supreme over the Legalism school. He burned books and buried Confucianism. In this great catastrophe, many precious cultures of China were destroyed, and many capable people died tragically.
Not only that, he also killed all the meritorious officials and cruelly slaughtered the surrendered army, leaving behind the name of a tyrant.
As an emperor, he didn't rest, develop the economy and care for the people. Instead, in order to stabilize the Qin Dynasty's rule, he used oppressive and cruel policies, ignoring the suffering of the people. He built the Great Wall today, Epang Palace the next day, the tomb on Mount Li the day after, imposed exorbitant taxes and forced labor, causing the people to live in misery.
In addition to that, he used harsh laws to punish the people, causing the people's hearts to turn against him and the fate to dissipate. Thus, the great Qin Dynasty came to an end.
Of course, the example of a feudal dynasty did not apply to the current Divine Continent but the internal strife that Tian Xuanzi mentioned was still very serious.
In the current complicated world pattern, there were still a large number of Shenzhou people who could not see the situation clearly. They worshiped foreign things and advocated the advanced nature of Western culture. They even tried every means to emigrate their descendants abroad. They were servile in front of outsiders, arrogant in front of their compatriots, and even incessantly stirred up internal strife. Under such circumstances, it would be strange if their luck did not disappear.
As the country with the most advanced technology and the most powerful military force, the citizens of the country enjoyed the treatment of first-class citizens. They were looked up to wherever they went. It was not surprising that such a strong sense of national pride and honor had condensed a strong country's luck.
Tian Xuanzi sighed, his eyes were filled with confusion and melancholy, "Divine Continent is the only country among the four ancient civilizations that has survived until now. We have a deep foundation that none of the other countries can compare with. Putting everything else aside, just the martial arts world and Jianghu world is not something that any western country can compare with. But now, the Ancient Martial Artists are detached from the world, they don't participate in the affairs of the human world and only rely on the National Warrior's Mansion. As for the Jianghu world, many Jianghu sects have lost the soil to develop in the Divine Continent, so they fled to other countries to develop. After decades of recuperation, they have a foothold in other countries. Some of these people may still have feelings for the country and will not go against the Divine Continent, but most of them are filled with hatred and hostility toward the Divine Continent.
Ding Ning sighed, he knew that Tian Xuanzi was not lying when he saw that Master Huo was with the so-called Alliance Royals. Although he didn't know if Master Huo was willing to be ordered around or if he was just cooperating with the Alliance Royals, there was no doubt that in their eyes, there was no difference between the country and the world.
Ding Ning couldn't help but worry when he thought of the three treasures that Pi Muer mentioned. The Alliance Royals, as the name suggested, was a community of interests formed by all the western royal families.
With the progress of society and the institutional reform of various countries, the royal family had long lost its former glory. Except for a very small number of countries that still pursued the imperial power, most of the royal families were regarded as a kind of spiritual totem. They had a noble identity, but were isolated from political power.
In Ding Ning's personal opinion, these royal families had completely become the mascots of the country. Their influence was completely different from before. Now, the governments of various countries would never allow the royal families to interfere with the political power.
Therefore, the royal families, who were unwilling to be left out, sympathized with each other and secretly formed the Alliance Royals. Using their noble identity and huge financial resources, they wanted to obtain the three treasures of Genghis Khan and start the road to the restoration of the imperial power.
Having figured this out, Ruhr and the others followed the command of the Alliance Royals and came here to search for the treasures. Now, their strange behavior could be explained.
The Kravitz Family must have been threatened by the Alliance Royals. It was even possible that the life and death of the Kravitz Family's head, Murry Kravitz, was also under the control of the Alliance Royals. Therefore, even if the Kravitz Family was unwilling, they had to take the risk. Therefore, Ruhr and Rachel wanted to find a chance to turn the situation around. In this operation, the Kravitz Family could only play the role of a guide. Once they found the treasures, it would be the end of the Kravitz Family.
As for Master Huo, it was estimated that he was the representative sent by the Geomaster School and the Alliance Royals after they reached an agreement. His role should be to ensure the safety of the members of the Alliance Royals and to clean up the demons and monsters they encountered along the way.
It was a pity that he was stupid enough to provoke Ding Ning, which led to the death of Corey, the public representative of the royal family. Ruhr's performance of anger and fear was for the secret representative of the Alliance Royals — the seemingly ordinary female mercenary. Those mercenaries should have received a hint from the female mercenary, so they pretended to be frightened by Ding Ning and did not attack according to Ruhr's order. Otherwise, how many mercenaries were afraid of death?
Ruhr was very scheming. He wanted to use Corey's death to incite the mercenaries to attack Ding Ning and use him to eradicate these mercenaries so that they could get rid of the control of the Alliance Royals. Only by getting the three treasures first could they have the capital to negotiate with the Alliance Royals.
Ding Ning quickly figured out the ins and outs of the matter. The only thing he couldn't figure out was what role the King of Valkyrie played in it. Could it be that the Kravitz Family had long known the identity of the King of Valkyrie, so they asked Rachel to use the honey trap to get rid of the control of the Alliance Royals with the help of the Descendants of God Organization?
If so, it meant that there must be people from the Descendants of God Organization hiding among the people who entered the Central Palace.
It was a pity that the members of the Descendants of God Organization were very deceptive. As long as they did not use their special abilities, they looked no different from ordinary people. Without physical contact, he could not find them at all.
It was too complicated. Ding Ning shook his head and stopped thinking about the complicated relationships. He would just have to deal with whatever came his way. Here, he and Tian Xuanzi were more than enough to fight against any power, so there was no need to worry about their safety.
The only thing that could threaten them was the enemies hidden in the Central Palace. Ding Ning had a hunch that there was a great danger hidden in the Central Palace, especially when the monster wolf accidentally said that Genghis Khan was just a slave of the monster race.
If what the Demonic Wolf said was true, then this mausoleum was quite terrifying. One must know that the Demonic Wolf was a great demon in the middle stage of the Divine Martial Arts Realm. With its strength, it could only guard the outer mausoleum of this mausoleum. It was easy to imagine what kind of powerful monsters were in the inner mausoleum.
Right at this moment, Ding Ning had the urge to retreat. He wanted to bring Tian Xuanzi away from this place as he didn't want to put himself in danger for a treasure that he couldn't be sure of.
However, before he could voice out his thoughts, Tian Xuanzi suddenly rushed toward the door of the Central Palace and said anxiously, "The door is turning illusory, it will close soon. No, I must go in and have a look. I can't let the treasure that can deceive the Heaven's Will fall into the hands of the Westerners."
"Wait …."
Before Ding Ning could stop him, Tian Xuanzi had already rushed into the illusory door and disappeared in it.
Ding Ning curled his lips in annoyance and he cursed softly, "This old thing, he really doesn't know what's good for him."
"Master, are we going in?"
Pi Mu Er said respectfully.
Ding Ning looked at him strangely and asked, "What did you call me?"
"Master, you are my benefactor. I will follow you from now on and work hard to repay your kindness."
Pi Mu Er said with clear eyes. His confident and confident look gave Ding Ning a headache.
"Don't call me that. I just took your item and promised to keep you safe in the tomb. I don't mean to take away your servant!"
Ding Ning waved his hand and said with disdain.
"I, Pi Mu 'er, may not be considered a good person, but I also understand the principle of repaying a drop of water with a gushing spring. What's more, Huo Side is my master's great enemy. I have no way of repaying such a great favor. I can only serve Master for the rest of my life to repay this favor. If Master doesn't agree, then I can only repay him with my death!"
Pi Mu Er took out a short knife and without hesitation, he slashed it at his throat.
"Alright, alright. Don't f * cking die so easily. Many people have already died today!"
Pi Muer was definitely not acting this time. If he had been a little slower, this guy would have been dead by now. Ding Ning grabbed Pi Muer's wrist and looked at the bloody wound on Pi Muer's neck with a speechless expression.
"Then, master has agreed to follow Pi Mu Er?"
Pi Mu Er ignored the blood gushing out from his neck and asked happily.
"Tell me, why do you want me to be your master? I did avenge you, but that is also your master's revenge. You don't have to be so servile to me, do you? "
Ding Ning asked with a headache. He didn't doubt Pi Mu Er's sincerity, but he didn't understand his mentality.
"Because … master is the same as master. You are the only people in the world who see me as a human."
Even the only girl I ever liked looked down on me. So when I was eighteen, I watched helplessly as the girl I liked lay under another man's crotch. In a fit of anger, I charged in. Not only was that man not afraid, he even looked at me with disdain and used the most vicious words to insult me. Even that girl said that I wasn't a man. She said that if I had the ability to kill him, she would be willing to marry me. "
"So, in a fit of rage, you killed that man on impulse?"
Ding Ning didn't have too many emotional fluctuations. He knew that the nomads of the prairie valued population the most. There was no such thing as chastity. As long as the population could increase, even if a woman changed her man every day, no one would say anything.
