"There is no need to use grandpa to stimulate me.
I am very clear-headed now and know exactly what I am doing.
I will never make the same mistake as grandpa!"
Lu Qingchen waved his hand and regained his extreme calmness, analyzing word by word, "The reason why grandpa was ruined was mainly because he made two mistakes.
"First, he should not have thrust the butcher's knife into the necks of his own people, and should not have betrayed the oath he made when he joined the Secret Sword Bureau and tried his best to protect every federal citizen.
However, he killed tens of thousands of people in the Federal Plaza. innocent people.
"Second, and more importantly, even if his plan succeeds, and the Tianyuan Realm can really swallow the Blood Demon Realm with difficulty, it will be impossible to resist the Black Wind Fleet that comes with it.
His plan is doomed to fail from the beginning, because the problem is fundamental Not a demon clan, but a cultivator!
“So, from the very beginning, his plan was just a fish-out-of-water struggle, which was completely useless.
“But, my plans were different.
"My plan does not involve any federal civilians.
I did not kill an innocent federal person, right?
Of course, during the attack on the imperial capital, the federal expeditionary force will most likely suffer heavy losses, but these are all soldiers.
They risked their lives and dignity to conquer the center of the star sea and give the Federation a way out.
They have long been prepared to sacrifice, and I will let their sacrifices create the greatest value!
"Second, unlike grandpa's reckless impulse, the True Human Empire is our last enemy.
As long as we kill them, there will no longer be any enemies in the Pangu Universe, and there will no longer be a 'Black Wind Fleet' to threaten us. , Therefore, it doesn’t matter even if the price paid for this battle is slightly higher.
We can use hundreds of years to recuperate, implement our Taoist heart, realize our ideas, and plan the great cause of breaking out of the Pangu universe for hundreds of millions of years. , what’s wrong with that?”
"Not good, very bad."
Li Yao shook his head and said, "If we really do this, countless civilians will still be killed or injured, in the imperial capital, in the worlds around the capital, and in the peripheral worlds who are still in chaos and are looking forward to a quick restoration of order."
"Those are civilians of the enemy country.
Are you so kind that you even care about the civilians of the enemy country?
You can't even bear to trample on the flowers and plants of the enemy country?
If you have to consider the life and death of the enemy's civilians during a war, then why fight?
, it’s better to surrender!”
Lu Qingchen said sternly, "Don't forget, from the beginning, it was the Black Wind Fleet belonging to the True Human Empire that first attacked the Federation and started an undeclared war on us!
From that moment on, the Federation and the Empire entered a state of war.
Until now, there may have been some secret agreements, but on the surface we still have not signed an armistice agreement, and no party has surrendered, right?
"Since everyone is still in a state of war, any mercy is a woman's kindness.
Of course, I am willing to follow the principles of humanitarianism and never torture or deliberately massacre civilians in the enemy country.
But in the process of the war, do I still care about the 'collateral losses'?
So much?
"Hmph, you are so soft-hearted and always put the empire's interests first, but others may not think so.
You must have heard the story about the farmer and the snake.
Be careful of the empire's snake, it is poisonous!"
As Lu Qingchen sneered, the light, shadow and data behind him continued to change, revealing the scene of the federal expeditionary force and several fleets of the empire entangled.
"How can we allow others to snore on the side of the bed?
The people of the empire will not understand such a simple truth.
Now our federal expeditionary force lies at the heart of the empire, and you, a cultivator, control the star-level magic weapon in the imperial capital.
He Zhanwang, this is more than just a 'side of the bed', it is simply a thorn in the eyes of the Imperial people."
Lu Qingchen said, "Even if the Federation and the Empire are in the 'honeymoon period' now, and everyone can reluctantly cooperate for the common interests, but with the collapse of the Holy Alliance, the basis for mutual cooperation is rapidly crumbling.
Do you think immortal cultivators can Can they tolerate cultivators staying in their hearts, can they tolerate you and your children, and continue to control the Golden Crystal Tower and the battle network of the imperial capital?
Finally, do you think the empire can tolerate a rapidly rising federation, filling the void of the Holy Alliance and becoming their largest alliance?
Competitor?
"It's impossible.

No matter how nice the cultivators talk and make all kinds of extravagant promises, the country is easy to change and the nature is hard to change.
They are destined to be unable to tolerate the cultivators and the Federation.
“In the final analysis, the Pangu universe is too small to accommodate two tigers on one mountain!
"No one can harm a tiger, but a tiger can eat people's hearts.
Li Yao, let me say it again, don't let your 'ordinary virtues' interfere with the ruthless derivation of the general situation, and ultimately push the federation into an abyss of eternal destruction!
God forbid!
If you take it, you will be blamed.
This is the only chance for the Federation to control its own destiny.
If you hesitate, all the people of the Federation will be killed by you!"
"That's not the case, Lu Qingchen, calm down and listen to me.
Of course I have also considered the issue of 'one mountain cannot tolerate two tigers', and I don't have too many naive illusions about immortal cultivators.
But now, between cultivators and immortal cultivators, There is indeed a slim path to peace between the two.”
Li Yao said sincerely, "I believe that the reformist immortal cultivators are different from the past immortal cultivators.
First, they have personally experienced the depravity and corruption of the old empire, and know how greedy, stupid and weak the past immortal cultivators were.
The road is basically a dead end, and even for their own survival, they will not make the same mistake again.
"Second, in order to seize the supreme power of the empire, the reformist immortal cultivators had to mobilize the power of the middle and lower classes and even ordinary people.
After this cleansing of 'respect the emperor, fight against rebellion, and reform the empire,' the entire middle and lower classes and ordinary people of the empire have Once an awakened person has seen the light, he can no longer endure the darkness.
"Third, the current emperor Li Jialing is a person who tends to integrate the avenue of cultivation and the avenue of cultivating immortality, and carry out the innovation to the end.
I even think that his avenue is very similar to yours.
I don't know his future.
What will happen, but at least, it will never be like Wu Yingqi.
"Fourth, you also said that we control the Golden Crystal Tower and the battle network of the Imperial Capital, and even control most of the Fuxi fleet.
These forces can serve as a deterrent to the empire, supervise and assist the empire to reform step by step.
Taking the right path and assimilating immortal cultivators into cultivators will minimize the risk of loss of control, chaos and destruction.
Don’t you think this is the safest way?”
"snort……" Lu Qingchen was unmoved and sneered, "After all, do you still want to leave the safety of the Federation and even the fate of human civilization to the control of the imperial people and immortal cultivators, and let that little emperor decide our future?
" "I don't want this either, but we have no choice."
Li Yao was so sincere that he almost vomited blood, "It's easy to break the old order, but rebuilding a new order is really difficult.
With our current strength, we simply can't do it.
"Yes, if everything goes according to your plan, it is indeed possible to capture the imperial capital, kill all the hopes of the innovative immortal cultivators in their infancy, and make the entire star sea fall into the state of 'neither new empire nor old empire.'
The power of vacuum state.
"The question is, then what?
"The center of the Star Sea has suffered an apocalyptic catastrophe.
All worlds are in panic and chaos.
Many worlds lack trade with the outside world and have become isolated islands in the dark.
They are lacking in supplies and order is gone.
There are always dangers.
May fall into a state of famine and civil war.
"At this time, if news spreads that the Federation people have turned against each other and the new empire has been destroyed, believe me, the entire star sea will turn into purgatory in an instant.
"At that time, why should our little federation suppress the crazy rebels, defeated armies, and careerists in the world?
Why should we restore local order and deliver basic food and clean water to hundreds of millions of hungry victims?
?
Why should I open up the paralyzed Xinghai trading network?
And why should I say so confidently?
We represent justice and are here to help them?

No, we are the culprits in creating purgatory.
The trust in the cultivators that has been built up after all the hard work will be destroyed, and there will be no more immortal cultivators and Xinghai.
Ordinary people in the central government will believe in us, believe in the path of cultivation, and believe in the federation!
"The city gate is on fire, affecting the fish in the pond.
If the entire star sea turns into purgatory, do you think the Federation can survive alone?
Have you thought about all this?
"Again, young people are often too superstitious about violence and believe that the outcome of a war is enough to determine everything.
But as your uncle, a senior who has used violence to solve many problems, but has discovered more problems, I really want to advise you, it’s not that simple!
In the center of the sea of stars right now, you are like a terminally ill patient who is dying.
Even if you have good intentions and have an unparalleled scalpel in the world, he will still be affected by the knife.
Will die!
"For such a critically ill patient, major surgery is absolutely not possible now.
We can only use decoctions to carefully regulate him first, at least make his body stronger, and then slowly use a series of minor surgeries to gradually heal him.
This is of course very difficult.
It’s complicated, very tangled, easy to repeat, and there is no guarantee of 00% success rate, but this is the only way, do you understand it or not?”
"I understand, you are worried about post-war reconstruction."
Lu Qingchen pondered for a moment and said, "You are worried that even if we capture the imperial capital, we will not be able to cleanse the entire empire's bureaucracy and civil service class.
Even if we can cleanse the entire empire's blood vessels and nerve endings, Not enough managers can win There are so many low-level positions, so as long as those nerve endings are still occupied by immortal cultivators of the old system, they will still be full of greed, corruption and depravity.
They will not be able to obey our orders and will only intensify the harm to the country and the people, using our guise.
Get benefits?"
"Well……" Li Yao thought for a while and said, "Your understanding seems to be a little biased, but it also makes sense.
The empire is too big and has too many disadvantages.
It cannot be wiped out in a short time."
