It was about two years ago, or one year and nine months to be exact.
With the reputation of being one of the Eight Wonders of the Immortal Dao and his amazing ability to predict the heavenly secrets, Yang Cang successfully became the head of the Heavenly Secret Pavilion of this era. During this period, there was naturally a struggle for power, but fortunately, fortune-telling was not about fighting for power.
Yang Cang fought with the current leader of Tianji Pavilion, who was more than a dozen generations older than him, and successfully seized the throne. The other party admitted defeat and no one was injured.
He then began to work and practice in modern society.
Yang Cang originally thought that he could not adapt, but after a few days of getting familiar with it, he suddenly realized that this was just like the one palace and two gates in his previous life. The three major forces of Buddhism, Taoism and Moon were in power, taking turns to rule the world and controlling the resources they were good at.
For example, the Moon Palace controls the spiritual stones and veins, and gathers the wealth of the world to provide for the needs of the world.
Now it has just been replaced by government offices, companies, and immortal sects.
The power of mortals has been greatly strengthened due to their so-called technological progress and the development and construction of the power system. The immortals have more time to practice, and the company has become a place for various forces to communicate and compete.
Because the top masters of this era could not have the same demands as in the previous life, and since immortals were not in power and there was no supreme voice, the situation was actually countless times more complicated than in the previous life.
It looks like a tripartite division of power, but in fact the local governments and local immortal gates may be in the same boat. It is like the relationship between universities and local governments, where the interests are intertwined.
These are all things that Yang Cang needs to adapt to and learn. Where there are people, there will inevitably be conflicts, and where there are conflicts, there will inevitably be vulgarity.
It doesn’t feel like practicing, but it is also a part of practicing.
Fighting with others is the most important part of spiritual practice. Even immortals are said to have been deeply involved in disputes caused by the Sword Immortal, their confidante.
I thought that life would settle down like this. After all, although he was one of the Eight Great Masters, there were too many strong people in the world. Divination was not good at fighting. If the sky fell, there would be tall people to hold it up. Why should he worry about it?
Until he calculated that the immortal would suffer a bloody disaster.
Yang Cang immediately jumped up, with mixed emotions. He admitted that after a brief moment of shock, he was actually delighted.
It’s not that he has any opinion on Li Yi, but Yang Cang is useful again.
Although his cultivation has not yet reached the level of a god, although he is not good at fighting, and although he knows nothing about ruling, he has calculated the blood disaster that will happen to the immortal, and this is helpful to the immortal.
So Yang Cang ran over in a hurry.
Now seeing Li Yi's carelessness, he was naturally extremely anxious.
"According to my divination, the great saint in the Western Regions is in conflict with your fate. The Western Regions regard incense and spiritual fields as the way, people as grain, and hearts as food. To use the words of the mortal officials, the history of the Western Regions is full of bandit culture, and the Holy Religion is a monotheistic religion that is full of hostility to the existence of other civilizations."
"Their desire for external expansion is several times greater than that of the Qin Dynasty. They were once a tiny country, but now they dominate the Western Regions. Sooner or later, that Wuxiang will come knocking on their door."
"As the saying goes, when two dragons share the same throne, one of them must die."
Li Yi's expression was still nonchalant, and Yang Cang had already prepared for this, so he took out his mobile phone and placed the screen on the table. Only then did Li Yi take a quick glance.
About the reconstruction of the Western Regions.
As a senior netizen, it is impossible for him to have not heard of this matter. Now the Chinese Internet has shown great concern for the reconstruction of civilized society in the Western Regions from top to bottom. This is a 10-year-long chaos, which has long made people regard the outside world as a wild land.
Paying attention to the Western Regions is like paying attention to aliens.
People's emotions are complicated. Morally, they hope that the Western Regions will be peaceful, but for their own benefit, they do not want civilization to be restored in the Western Regions.
Some even bluntly stated that only a chaotic Western Region is a good Western Region. It can serve as a supplier of raw materials for Shenzhou. Conversely, sects outside the world will also look to Shenzhou to buy food when they encounter difficulties.
As for development, for the sect, as long as no one starves to death, it’s good enough.
The current economic boom in China is the result of the rise and fall of other places. As the only place that maintains order, it is easy to profit from the chaos in other places. Take grain exports as an example. Chu feeds a quarter of the world's population.
By using these exported grains, Chu could control the population and economy of a certain area, and even provoke wars between sects.
A sect is essentially the same as a country.
Li Yi has rich experience in ruling. Even if he doesn't go into it in depth, just taking a look at the information from all sides, he can actually understand that Shenzhou has made huge profits from this chaos.
China is like a tiger swallowing a wolf, almost swallowing up the entire wealth accumulated by human society for hundreds of years, taking the essence and discarding the dross.
Those high-ranking officials in the mortal government were no ordinary people in the struggle for the fate of their country. In his spare time, he talked with Wei Xi. In the turmoil eight years ago, it was China that was in chaos, but in the end it was the foreign countries that died.
None of this would have been possible without the government fanning the flames, and it was common for the government to shift the blame elsewhere.
After receiving the support of the immortals, they did not think about how to help all mankind, or maintain the dignity of mortals, or other lofty ideals. The power machine would only oppress, devour, and expand.
Many people do not want to see the reconstruction of civilization in the Western Regions today.
For the sake of profit, virtue needs to take a back seat.
It is also said that a kind person should not be in charge of the military, and a benevolent person should not be in politics.
Now he neither commands the army nor holds power, he is just an ordinary man.
“It’s pretty good.”
Li Yi commented lightly.
"ah?"
Yang Cang opened his mouth slightly, not expecting this answer.
