Amidst the loud cheers, several carriages drove into the city!
In the lead carriage, a plainly dressed middle-aged man appeared to be a little out of place with the others around him. In the Henghe Region, people did not regard plainness as beauty. Luxurious clothing represented one's status. In the dictionary here, there was no such thing as traveling at night in brocade clothes. One had to travel during the day, and the more crowded the place, the better!
Therefore, in other domains, even the most vulgar nouveau riche would not wear a few kilograms of gold chain around their necks. But here, it was a common occurrence. There were even people who would make gold-leaf clothes that weighed more than ten kilograms to show off their nobility. They wished that others would not know of their wealth, even if they had to be accompanied by a few burly bodyguards.
The people in the carriages were all dressed in luxurious clothing. But their luxurious clothing was different from the luxurious clothing of the merchants of the lower castes. Because of their education and influence since they were young, they appeared to be more tasteful. At first glance, one could tell that they were from big families with real status and history.
But among them, a plainly dressed middle-aged man was very special. In the atmosphere of the Henghe Sector, he could still stand out from the crowd and did not care about the opinions of the people around him. This could only mean that his status was not ordinary. A true ruler did not need to use external things to show himself.
The driver flicked the whip, and even though it was not wide on the busy streets, it still sped as if it was flying. The attendant at the shaft of the carriage turned his head to face the carriage, and his expression was one of sincere respect.
"Aamir, we've arrived at the capital of Tiala!"
Aamir nodded silently, his expression melancholy. It wasn't that he was putting on an act, but because of his unparalleled reputation in the Henghe Realm, if people saw him, it might cause an uncontrollable uproar. This wasn't the first time that people had been trampled on.
He was practicing asceticism! This was a big tradition in the Henghe Sector, especially the Lice Granny Great Divine Path that he believed in. It was the mainstream Henghe Sector orthodoxy that valued asceticism the most. It was once every hundred years for a hundred years, which meant that the cultivators of the Lice Granny Path spent at least half of their life in asceticism!
It was the most devout Divine Path in the Henghe Sector.
The so-called ascetic cultivation in the Henghe Sector was different from the mainstream orthodoxy of the universe's self-cultivation world. It was true ascetic cultivation. It wasn't wandering alone in the void of the universe. That was traveling, not ascetic cultivation.
The so-called ascetic cultivation in the Henghe Realm referred to the comprehension of the mortal world and the sealing of all one's abilities. If one used the power of cultivation during this period of time, then this ascetic cultivation would be considered a failure. Not only would one not benefit, but they would also be damaged.
Amir Khan was now in the midst of such penance.
Since it's an ascetic cultivation, of course you have to eat and sleep in the open. You're no different from a mortal. Driving a few luxurious cars is like going on an excursion! However, he had no other choice. When he heard the news, he was still in a faraway foreign land and could not rush back in time. Under the premise that he could not use his ability, he could only rely on the power of the secular world because he had a reason to come back.
During his ascetic cultivation journey, he was very worried about the various situations that had occurred in the disaster area of the Henghe Realm. The suppression methods used by the local kings also made him uneasy. It was somewhat too cruel!
He was very clear that the root cause of the situation was not the food and water, but the disregard and belittlement of the lives of the lower caste people in the Henghe Realm for a long time!
If there was a slightly more efficient local government, with a little more effort, with the richness of the Henghe Realm, all of this would not have happened.
All these years, he had been working hard to pacify the people, urging the local kings to strengthen relief, improve the transportation of goods, improve efficiency, etc … If everything could have improved even a little bit, with the hardworking nature of the people of the Henghe Realm, there would not have been endless riots everywhere.
Unfortunately, even if his status was high, his caste was noble, and he had great influence among the people and countless followers, when it came to the personal gains and losses of those with vested interests, he had no choice but to be defeated!
Just one word, perfunctory! Let his well-intentioned advice go down the drain! This was not something that could be solved in a short time. The deep-rooted thing formed by hundreds of thousands of years of history could not be completely changed by him and his disciples alone.
Behind those local kings, nobles, and high caste, which one of them did not have a strong background? There was even no lack of existences like him who were respectfully called Khan!
In such a contest, he, who was alone, was defeated as expected. The gap between ideal and reality was something that even a top cultivator like him could not change!
He had put in a lot of effort, and the most direct way for cultivators was to use the methods of cultivation to solve the problem, to apply what they had learned. Large-scale rain formation, inviting gods, and so on, but these methods could only alleviate the situation for a while, and could not fundamentally solve the problem. In the natural law of the Henghe Realm, the drought of these years was originally a way of self-adjustment. It was a natural response of nature to the environment and population, and it was in accordance with the internal law of the Realm. As a cultivator, he was well aware of this point!
So in fact, he did not dare to interfere too much! This was different from finding a desolate star in the void of the universe to evolve the changes of the Great Dao. This was their home planet, a super big world with tens of billions of people, and no one dared to act rashly. It was not only the Henghe Realm, but in fact, every cultivator in the cultivation realm did not dare to make a deep conversion of the five elements on their home planet, because it would kill people, and a large number of lives!
Therefore, urging the rain had a great limitation. It could be withstood when the drought was light, but for this kind of periodic change in the law of nature, the power of the cultivators did not dare to exceed their authority, because this kind of change in nature would follow the ancient internal needs, and its purpose was to support the stars for a longer period of time!
It was like a self-detoxification adjustment!
If urging the rain did not work, then irrigate and build canals! Relying on the few big rivers of the Henghe Realm, and using the power of cultivators to divert the branches, this kind of method was technically not difficult for cultivators with great power. It could be a matter of punching and kicking, and they could plow a hundred feet of river on the ground!
But this kind of effort also caused a fierce debate in the secular world and the cultivation realm. The people of the Henghe Realm worshiped the rivers deep in their bones, and rejected all efforts to dig canals and ditches along the banks of the rivers, because this was disrespectful to the gods!
Especially in their attitude towards the Henghe Realm, it was as if digging canals on the Henghe Realm was cutting a hole in one's body! It would cause one to lose the most precious thing!
In short, it was best not to change anything! As for the ordinary people in the drought area, what was so important about them? If they could survive, they would be lucky, but if they could not, they would die early and reincarnate. Who knows, they might be reincarnated into a rich upper-caste family?
Amir Khan practiced his ascetic cultivation in this kind of rush, and the more he cultivated, the harder it became!
The only thing he could do now was to at least give these rioting people a way out! He knew that they were not rioters, and did not really want to overthrow anyone, but it was a natural reaction under the pressure of survival.
This was his purpose in coming to the capital of Tiala. Killing people would not stop all of this, and the problem would not be solved. If he killed one group, there would definitely be another!
