Chapter 468 The question is, who will be the king of Shen Yao Kingdom?
After the civil strife, the Shen Yao Kingdom was in ruins.
There are only a few civil and military officials left.
The four major families no longer exist, and the remaining people just want to live their own lives in peace and not dare to have any inappropriate thoughts.
Lian Xueluo and others gathered together, and everyone sat together to discuss the future development direction of Shen Yao Country and the selection of the person in power.
After careful consideration, everyone unanimously decided to nominate Lian Jin as the ruler of Shen Yao Kingdom.
Faced with everyone's expectations and recommendations, Lian Jin rejected the proposal without hesitation.
His face was cold and otherworldly, and he said with a firm gaze: "From today on, Shen Yao Country will no longer believe in and worship Lian Jin Xian Zun. I will remove all the enchantments and formations, and take back the spiritual energy originally bestowed on this country."
"From now on, Shen Yao Nation will no longer focus on cultivating spiritual energy, but will be like other ordinary countries, no longer pursuing uniqueness and superiority."
It is precisely because the Shen Yao Kingdom has long been proud of cultivating spiritual energy that its people have developed an inexplicable sense of superiority, believing themselves to be more noble and special than people from other countries.
This mentality gradually gave rise to some unnecessary desires and ambitions, which ultimately led to national instability and suffering for the people.
Lian Jin took a deep breath, his brows slightly furrowed, and his eyes revealed an indescribable complex emotion.
In the past two months, he has gradually regained his memory, and as his memory has returned, he has gradually remembered his own life experience.
He is not an ordinary person, but a lotus growing in the mortal world.
After countless years of practice and tempering, he finally got the chance to ascend. After ninety-nine and eighty-one heavenly thunders, he successfully ascended to heaven.
He always has a feeling of gratitude in his heart.
In order to repay the family that raised him, he decided to give them his own spiritual energy and teach them how to test their spiritual roots and cultivate their spiritual power.
He hopes that through this method, he can enable people in the family to embark on the path of spiritual practice and pursue a higher level of realm.
However, what he never expected was that this small act of kindness would lead to a series of changes.
Relying on the power he bestowed, the family rose rapidly and eventually became the ruler of the Shen Yao Kingdom. He became the god they worshipped, and the lotus became the national flower of the Shen Yao Kingdom.
Lian Jin is deeply aware that power and strength are often accompanied by responsibilities and tests. He must re-examine the relationship between himself and his family, as well as the impact on the future development of the entire Shen Yao Kingdom.
In order to prevent the Shen Yao Kingdom from killing other countries and unify the four directions.
He immediately set up a barrier formation for the Shen Yao Kingdom, not allowing them to contact other countries, and also formulated a series of rules to restrain them.
I thought that in this way, tragedy could be avoided.
But he underestimated human nature...
This time, he went through the tribulation to resolve the situation of the Shen Yao Kingdom. The Shen Yao Kingdom existed because of him, and it should also end with him.
Lian Jin glanced at everyone, her brows filled with guilt and self-blame.
"I'm sorry, it's because I insisted on making Shen Yao a country that cultivates spiritual power that resentment is so high and tragedies are so frequent."
“Now, all this must change.”
"We must let Shen Yao Country return to normal and treat the outside world equally. Only in this way can we eliminate the dissatisfaction and resentment in people's hearts and achieve long-term stability in the country."
"Everyone here has to agree even if they disagree. I have made up my mind because I don't want to see tragedy happen again."
Lian Xueluo and the others looked at each other and did not speak for a long time.
Luo Ranran's face turned cold, she stood up with her hands on her waist, her momentum instantly became stupid, "What? You don't agree with little brother taking back his spiritual energy?"
Everyone: “…”
The little girl's action is so cute.
"It's not that I disagree, I'm just thinking about a question." Lian Xueluo waved her hand and said bluntly: "What we want to ask is, after Shen Yao Country takes back the spiritual energy, will it let us join other countries? Or continue to live in Shen Yao Country?"
Luo Ranran's little face was full of speechlessness.
"Aunt, of course you will continue to live in Shen Yao Country. This is where you were born and raised. If you don't live here, where else can you live?"
The little girl looked at me as if she was stupid.
"Well, if you really don't want to live in Shen Yao Country, you can come to my Tian Qi Country. My brother the Crown Prince will definitely welcome you."
Chu Tianli smiled and invited sincerely, "If you don't want to go to Tianqi Country, you can go to my Tianzhu Country. For Lianjin's sake, I will definitely give you preferential treatment."
Upon hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as they are not allowed to leave their homeland, everything is fine.
Seeing that the atmosphere was a little depressing, Luo Ranran blinked and giggled.
"Alright, alright, the little brother is just taking back his own spiritual energy. This is called returning the property to its original owner. Although you can no longer cultivate spiritual energy in the future, you can practice martial arts and protect yourself in the same way."
"Besides, Shen Yao Country has long been isolated from the outside world and has fallen behind. You should also learn to interact with other countries."
Lian Jin nodded slightly, indicating that he agreed with Luo Ranran's statement. He knew very well that Shen Yao Country needed not only its own transformation, but also communication and integration with the outside world.
"My sister is right. We cannot stand still. We must learn from the strengths of other countries and have economic exchanges."
Lian Jin looked around with a determined look in her eyes, "From now on, we must work hard to develop agriculture, commerce, and handicrafts to make Shen Yao Country prosperous, so that the people will no longer be hungry and cold, and can live a prosperous and healthy life."
Everyone nodded, their eyes flickering with anticipation for the future.
"I believe that with everyone's joint efforts, Shen Yao Country will usher in a new chapter." Lian Jin's voice was sonorous and powerful, as if announcing the rebirth of Shen Yao Country to everyone.
"Well said!"
“Pah pah pah pah…”
Luo Ranran took the lead in applauding. The others were stunned at first, and then followed suit. There was a smile on everyone's face that came from the bottom of the heart.
After the deafening applause.
Luo Ranran raised her hand and looked at everyone present with great interest, "Then the question is, who among you wants to be the king of Shen Yao Country?"
The scene suddenly became quiet and no one answered.
Luo Ranran expressed confusion.
"Eh? Before my brother and I came, weren't you guys fighting fiercely for the throne?"
"Why aren't you talking now?"
"Is it because I was born not to talk?"
"Do you still think that being a king is not that attractive?"
Lian Xuehe raised her hand. She felt that she needed to explain herself. "Ranran, the reason why we fought before was because we didn't want Lian Xueyi and his sister to become the king, so as to avoid the people suffering."
"At that time, I had no choice but to do it. Now, those beasts are gone, so there is naturally nothing to fight for the throne."
"As long as the next king is kind and decisive, and works for the country and the people, I have no objection."
The others echoed.
"Yeah, that's what we mean."
