Chapter 409 Characteristics of the Times

Jiang Shan could never forget the time when Wu Guang built an altar and performed a blood sacrifice with 100,000 Kunwu people on the bank of the Dan River.

Jiang Shan may not be a saint; but the practice of blood sacrifice is not easy to accept for someone like him who was born and grew up in a modern society.

Kill people, and then eat them, that's actually the way it works.

When Lai Zhu heard this, he smiled and said, "I can understand what you mean - it's because you are a congenital person."

Jiang Shan was stunned.

Lai Zhu said: "The Xiantian human race was born sacred, grew up to be powerful, and stood at the top of the universe. But until now, the Xiantian human race no longer exists. Why is that?"

"Because the innate human race has a big heart - they don't think they are nobler than any other creature."

"How did the human race come about? A small number of them were conceived naturally by the innate human race and their bloodlines degenerated, while the majority were born from the infection of the powerful innate human race's qi."

"Just like the exotic beasts and fierce birds with the bloodline of the divine beasts."

"So the human race is born inferior to the innate human race. But the innate human race, for the survival and growth of the human race, fought against the heavens and the earth, and went forward one after another, not hesitating to die."

"Comparatively speaking, which divine beast or god would risk the life of an inferior creature born from their own energy? Only the innate human race."

"So you pity those who were sacrificed in blood, not for any other reason, but because you are a true innate human. You don't think you are nobler than them, you think they are the same as you."

Jiang Shan listened and was surprised.

This statement is quite interesting!

According to Lai Zhu, the innate human race is born to be an idealist who upholds the equality of personality, does not judge superiority or inferiority based on strength or weakness, and is willing to sacrifice themselves for the sake of the common people.

But Jiang Shan knew that he was not born like this. And he knew that his own personality was not as noble as those innate human ancestors mentioned by Lai Zhu! Jiang Shan was a little dazed - the innate human race, who were born sacred and grew up strong, each of them had a noble personality like gold. This is simply a perfect race!

Lai Zhu paused and sighed, "A truly ambitious leader of the human race should be like this. In fact, you don't understand that Cheng Tang is such a person."

Jiang Shan came back to his senses and frowned: "If he is such a person, why is there no mercy or empathy wherever his army passes?"

Lai Zhu said: "You know that Yi Zhi is also a right-hand man of Cheng Tang, but do you know that Yi Zhi was born a slave?"

He said: "The human race has developed step by step to its present stage, forming its own civilization and rules."

"Today's human civilization is built on the basis of blood."

"The foundation of cultivation is blood; the foundation of governing the world is blood; those with strong blood are nobles; those without strong blood are barbarians."

"Bloodline is the guarantee of the human race's strength. Only a strong bloodline human race can protect the entire human race to continue to survive in this cruel world."

Lai Zhu had a complicated expression: "Cheng Tang once discussed this issue with us. He said that bloodlines will eventually degenerate to the point where there will be no distinction between nobles and savages, so we will eventually be the same!"

Jiang Shan exhaled: "If that's the case, then why."

It was clear that Cheng Tang seemed to have seen the glory of humanity in the distant future!

Lai Zhu smiled and said, "So Cheng Tang told us that since we are in the era of blood, we must abide by the rules of the blood era; when one day the blood degenerates to the point where there is no distinction between savages and nobles, the human king at that time will come to practice the principle of no distinction between noble and humble."

He said: "Because we have something we must do now. That is to survive. This is the first priority, and everything else is just a side issue. It won't be too late to talk about other things when we are no longer in danger of survival."

Jiang Shan was speechless and had no way to refute.

Cheng Tang was a visionary, but he was also a person who was grounded in the present reality. He knew what was light and what was heavy.

This is an era of blood.

Nobles, commoners, and barbarians, their class distinction lies in their blood.

Bloodline is the primary force for maintaining stability, defending against invasion, and protecting the entire human race.

Under this premise, Cheng Tang could not betray the class constructed by blood, and could not overthrow it, because once it was overthrown, human civilization would immediately lose order.

If a savage and a powerful bloodline person are forced to be equal in all aspects, then what reason does the powerful bloodline person have to work hard to protect the savage like him? Since they are the same, the savage should protect himself.

In that case, what can we use to unite our strength to resist external invasion and ensure the survival of the human race? Only when the bloodline degenerates to the point where there is no difference in strength and life level can the principle of equality of personality be universally practiced.

By that time, the warriors who protect society and maintain order will come from the masses of the people; by that time, people will be able to truly achieve relative equality.

So from this perspective, the innate human race is a kind of "rebellious" existence.

They could have been immortal forever, they could have roamed the universe until the end of time; but they fought against the weak and insignificant people, killing everyone and everything, even to the point of almost extinction of their own race!

Do something even though you know it is impossible?

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

What is it for?

For the sparkle and beauty in his heart? Jiang Shan suddenly felt relieved.

He felt that he had no right to criticize Cheng Tang.

Because he himself has not done anything commendable for the world; when criticizing others, it is better to think about whether you can do it or not.

If you have done it and can do it, then you are qualified to criticize others instead of just talking nonsense!

Seeing the change in Jiang Shan's expression, Lai Zhu laughed.

Then he said, "We will arrive in Nanchao soon. When you meet Cheng Tang, you will know what kind of person he is."

Jiang Shan came back to his senses: "Cheng Tang is also in Nanchao?"

Lai Zhu nodded: "Cheng Tang must face Lugui directly."

Then he said: "Nanchao can be said to be the oldest country of the human race. Before the Hongmeng era, the ancestors of the Youchao clan established the human nest in the ancient land of Nanchao, and the process of human civilization began from then on."

"The royal family of Nanchao is the direct bloodline passed down by the ancestors of Youchao clan."

"But after going through various disasters, Nanchao has long since declined."

"Especially before, when Lugui went to Renchao, the royal family of Nanchao tried to stop him, and many of them were killed and injured by Lugui."

"For this one thing alone, Lugui's crime is the greatest!"

Jiang Shan was also surprised: "Lugui actually killed and injured many members of the Nanchao royal family? Could it be that he has lost his mind?"

Lai Zhu nodded: "I'm afraid that's the case. The Nanchao royal family has been guarding the human nest for generations, and has made great sacrifices in the human race's disasters. Even if we don't care about the ancestors of the Youchao family, we shouldn't kill the Nanchao royal family."

"When Cheng Tang found out, he was very angry and couldn't understand why Lugui became like that."
