"Military rule is only the first step!"
Kali glanced at everyone indifferently and continued, "At that time, we will become the rule-makers, able to issue currency and control the monetary system of the entire Jambudvipa. When the monetary cycle falls into a trough or a loophole appears, we can also launch wars, provoke disputes, and continuously profit, stabilizing the position of the Maya. This is the expansion plan that I and my advisors have designed. Once realized, our Maya nation will be invincible. Any country that wants to challenge us will be doomed, like a mantis trying to stop a chariot! This is the bright future I have planned for our Maya people!"
Wow!
The crowd whispered among themselves.
Everyone seemed very excited.
The Duke of Cali's vision of the future was truly wonderful.
The Maya Kingdom has been dormant for too long. Ever since it was driven out of the Great Xia, it has endured humiliation and hardship. Now it is time for it to rise again!
Lacey clenched her fists, her disappointment deepening. She pursed her lips and said, "So, the strength and prosperity you speak of are built on the suffering of others, is that it?"
Only now did she realize how terrifying this man was.
She had initially held onto a sliver of hope that she could persuade the man.
But at that moment she realized she was wrong! It was simply impossible!
The two had huge differences in their thinking, as if they were going in opposite directions and could never agree on anything.
Kali sighed. "Lassie, what do other countries matter to us as long as our people are happy? People are inherently divided into different classes. Some people can live, while others only deserve to live. As long as there are people, there will be conflict. As long as there are desires, there will be inequality. This is inevitable. What we need to do is protect our own interests and maximize those interests amidst these inevitable conflicts!"
"Heh, you really are a great thinker and philosopher!" Lacey laughed in exasperation and couldn't help but mock him.
At this moment, she had completely lost hope in Kali. She also knew that she couldn't persuade him.
"There's one more thing I want to ask you!"
Lacey glanced at Lin Yu, then turned back to Kali and asked, "Impersonating the Dragon Queen and launching border attacks on other territories—that was you, wasn't it?"
Kali was slightly taken aback.
The other soldiers also looked surprised.
This matter was known only to them internally, and it is unknown who leaked it.
"So, you knew all along?"
Kali frowned, sighed, and nodded, saying, "Since you already know, I won't hide it from you anymore. It was indeed me who did it!"
"On this occasion, I would like to formally announce that my expansion plan with all of you generals has officially begun!"
Kali glanced at everyone and said calmly, "We've decided to start with the Kingdom of Endeavor. As you all know, the Kingdom of Endeavor is located in a region that possesses the richest resources in our entire Southern Jambudvipa: the Sacred River!"
"The Sacred River is the source of Jambudvipa, and it's a magical river. Drinking its water can make women conceive naturally, which is a guarantee for population growth! As you all know, population is the most important factor in ensuring a country's strength! Therefore, the first step is for us to take control of the Sacred River! So our plan is to first instigate conflict between the Nuryu Kingdom and several surrounding territories. When they are locked in a fierce battle, we Mayans will step in, clean up the mess, and reap the benefits!"
Good heavens!
He actually admitted it himself?
Hearing this, Lin Yu's lips curled up slightly.
I never expected that the truth would come out so soon after I arrived in the Land of Effort!
Lacey shook her head. "Kali, you're insane. Your ambitions are too great. Do you really think everything you're doing is for the good of the Maya? Secrets will eventually be kept! If this gets out, we'll face a united attack from the surrounding countries! Can you handle that storm?"
When confronted with Lacey's questioning, Kali simply smiled calmly.
"I'm afraid of rough seas?"
"Lassie, don't forget, my ancestors were fishermen. All I know is that the bigger the storm, the more expensive the fish!"
Kali said with an air of arrogance, "With the strength of our Mayan nation, even if other countries find out, they can't do anything to us. Even if they launch a joint attack, we're not afraid! Don't forget, we possess the most advanced defense system—the dome! No country can possibly reach our homeland! Furthermore, even China's dome was built by us, and to this day, they still haven't been able to crack our dome technology! They're still endlessly exploring the false world we've created, like frogs in a well! Hahaha!"
What?
Lin Yu's eyes flickered.
He was indeed hit by something when he was taking off from Earth, and was unable to enter space.
Now it seems, it really was the work of the Maya?
Kali continued with a cold laugh: "Of all civilizations, the one we fear most is China, because their cultivation of immortality is the only thing that can defeat our technological civilization! So, in order to limit their development, our ancestors left a contingency plan in China, which is the dome!"
"The existence of the dome restricts their exploration of the universe and also limits the development of technology. At the same time, it also depletes the spiritual energy of the earth, making it far inferior to other lands in the Southern Continent, preventing them from producing powerful cultivators. Thus, our greatest threat is gone! So what are we afraid of?"
Hearing this, Lin Yu finally understood.
No wonder the spiritual energy on Earth is so severely depleted. It's not just because of the end times; the Maya are also to blame. Those ancestors of the Maya were truly despicable! They even managed to disgust other civilizations on Earth before they left!
Lacey glanced at Lin Yu, her face burning.
She knew that Lin Yu was Chinese, and now, in front of a Chinese person, she was telling him this history. How would that person feel?
"Kali, although our Maya civilization is technologically advanced, we can't be too arrogant. After all, we lost to China. And do you really think the other civilizations in Jambudvipa are easy prey? You're declaring war on the entire Jambudvipa! This will make our Maya nation the target of everyone's ire!"
Lacey wanted to use one last method to persuade Kali to turn back.
“Cali, stop! If you promise me you will halt the expansion plans and swear you will never wage war, I, Lacey, will marry you! I will bear your children and never betray you for all eternity!”
This was the last thing she, as a woman, could do for this country and for this world: to get involved herself and persuade Kali to turn back.
But Kali's heart was already filled with fanaticism. To rule Jambudvipa was the belief and goal he had set out for at birth, so how could he give it up?
"Lassie, I love you! But as a man, I must fight!"
Kali said with a serious expression, "Whether you agree or not, I will marry you, but the expansion plan will absolutely not stop!"
