Afterwards, Fang Ruotang was actually a little curious about what the little mirror had shown Lin Bufan through her.
She had never seen it before, but she imagined it must be a very convincing scene; otherwise, why would Lin Bufan have immediately taken her as his master?
[Could you show this trick you revealed to Lin Bufan to all the cultivators? That way, wouldn't they all follow and believe in me? And wouldn't the Heavenly Dao's consciousness simply dissipate?]
[I stole the origin of this world and then added yours, letting him see the origin of this world. I want everyone to see that this world must be destroyed by my theft. Most importantly, your body can't withstand such a huge drain right now.]
Fang Ruotang: ...
There's no need for that.
Why can't we just make a rubbing? Can't we use a commemorative stone?
Do you think I wouldn't use it if it were available?
Other things are easy to deal with, but the recording stone is what they usually use. If the small mirror works, how could they not think of it? It's just that it can't be used!
Fang Ruotang pouted, a little dissatisfied.
This is intentionally designed to increase the difficulty.
[That's normal, isn't it? What I showed him wasn't even a scene from this world, but a record from several planes higher. How could an ordinary recording stone from this world possibly record that?]
【……All right! 】
Fang Ruotang somewhat accepted this explanation.
It's roughly a problem of mismatched screws and nuts.
Records from a phonograph cannot be played on a cassette tape recorder.
[It's alright, even if we can't get everyone, we can use this method to win over the key personnel! He's competing with the Heavenly Dao for great fortune... but speaking of which, Lin Bufan's fortune is just too strong! He's like the protagonist in a novel I've read; I think he should be called "Dragon Overlord."]
[Long Aotian's luck isn't as good as his, but he's still a person of luck.]
I can tell.
Speaking of luck, Fang Ruotang noticed a fluctuation in her own aura.
As I moved my hands and feet, the comfortable feeling that kept coming in intensified.
[Brother Yan and the others should be doing very well in Dayong.]
Yes, the Empress's decrees are carried out without hindrance.
After a year, the people also became complacent.
It's not that they no longer believe in Fang Ruotang, but rather that they have their own lives to live and can't pray to gods and Buddhas every day. In the end, what ordinary people are fighting for is nothing more than three meals a day.
The Queen issued a new order, which the people did not understand, but that did not matter; they cooperated.
Because the yamen runners would go door-to-door to investigate, as long as people worshipped Fang Ruotang's longevity tablet and became her believers, they could get a certain amount of tax reduction.
When it comes to their own food supply, people are as sincere as they can be.
They wished they could kowtow more often and reduce taxes more.
Soon, the Da Yong dynasty once again saw a surge in fervor for the national advisor.
How are you all?
Fang Ruotang thought of them and spoke to them directly through the small mirror.
The six were busy with their work when Fang Ruotang's voice suddenly rang in their minds. Her entire demeanor changed visibly, and she used various gestures and glances to signal her subordinates to wait a moment.
Then he went to the other side and started talking to Fang Ruotang.
It's not that I can't multitask, it's just that I want to have a proper conversation with Fang Ruotang.
"I'm doing well here. My mother is fully cooperating, and no one in the court objects." Cui Shixu returned to Dayong, went straight to the palace gate, and told the Empress about the matter.
The mother and son only had the time it takes to drink a cup of tea before the decree was issued. This was something Cui Shixu had already thought of on his way here.
If the Queen agrees, it can be implemented immediately.
I'm fine here too, I should be able to go back in the next couple of days.
Gu Yanjin spoke up, and he went to the original Northern Liang.
Ye Wuxia went to the Western Zhou Dynasty.
Although the Northern Liang and Western Zhou had been conquered by the Great Yong, they had only been incorporated for a short time, so the Empress was not as adept at governing them as the Great Yong, and her decrees were not executed as quickly.
Gu Yanjin and Ye Wuxia couldn't wait, so they went to resolve the matter themselves.
Rong Xing and the other two then went to the central region.
The six people had a simple idea: ordinary mortals are easy to persuade, and what cultivators look down on, ordinary mortals will regard as a treasure. A little favor can win people's hearts.
They had done something similar for Fang Ruotang when they were in Dayong, so they knew that world consciousness was the consciousness of all people, and that the number of ordinary mortals was enormous.
If you can win over ordinary people, you've already succeeded halfway.
Compared to the relaxed responses from Cui Shixu, Gu Yanjin, and Ye Wuxia, the other three spoke in noticeably heavier tones. Even Huo Zhige and Gu Nancheng, who usually loved to compete for favor, did not try to impress Fang Ruotang this time.
On the contrary, Gu Yanjin noticed something and asked directly.
[Nancheng, has something happened where you are?]
Gu Nancheng gave a wry smile.
"Isn't that right? The people of the Central Plains are too cunning; they're much harder to persuade than the people of our Great Yong."
These people have a good idea. They say they'll follow us if we can help them cultivate, otherwise, it's out of the question.
Huo Zhige's voice was filled with barely concealed rage, as if he wished he could suppress the situation with force.
Rong Xing remained silent, as he had no solution at the moment.
Although Fang Ruotang has the ability to help people without spiritual roots embark on the path of cultivation.
But there are so many ordinary mortals in the Middle Realm, how could we possibly replace their spiritual roots with spiritual roots for each and every one of them? Most importantly, where would we find so many spiritual roots to replace them with?
The world is about to perish; without destruction, there can be no construction. Don't they even understand such a simple truth? I understand it, so why can't they?
Fang Ruotang was fuming and couldn't help but feel anxious.
Because of her lack of understanding of her own abilities, she always felt that she was a little slower and dumber than others, and that others should have thought of the things she could think of long ago.
But she forgot that everyone has selfish desires.
This kind of thing has been stirred up by some people with ulterior motives, and too many people want to raise prices on the spot.
Or perhaps it's more accurate to say that the allure of cultivating immortality is too great; everyone desires a body suited for cultivation.
[Even if you want to negotiate, can't you stop the Heavenly Dao from destroying the world? If I truly became the Heavenly Dao, how could I not help them within my capabilities!]
I've always felt this world is unfair. Although it doesn't prioritize men, it determines a person's future based on their spiritual roots—isn't that a form of class division?
Rong Xing and the other two were in the middle realm at the moment. When they heard Fang Ruotang's words, their expressions were not good. It was not that they thought Fang Ruotang was wrong, but that they were somewhat frustrated.
They couldn't help Fang Ruotang solve her problems.
They don't understand you. Heaven is unforgiving; they assume you feel the same way. But that's okay. We will persuade them. Give us some time, and give them some time too.
Cui Shixu gently comforted Fang Ruotang, who was clearly a little impatient.
Fang Ruotang pursed her lips slightly; she actually understood.
Don't release the hawk until you see the rabbit.
These ordinary mortals, having finally gotten such an opportunity, and thinking that the law wouldn't punish everyone, decided to negotiate with them.
"You tell me, since I'm so capable, can I change these things?"
