only…… "This road will not work after all!"
Li Yao sighed in his heart.
Han Yuantai is full of confidence.
Their new generation of "Yun Qin", after eliminating the chronic disease of sectarian infighting, will be able to consolidate the country forever and rule for thousands of years.
But this is impossible.
Even under the most perfect situation, if these cultivators affiliated with the "country" are really highly united and do not have any internal conflicts, and push the efficiency of resource utilization to the extreme, they still cannot solve a fundamental problem.
That is, cultivators in the classical era were basically bottomless pits that could only be entered but not exited.
While consuming a large amount of resources, they did not produce many "products" that were useful to society.
For a cultivator, starting from the awakening of spiritual roots and cultivating all the way to the realm of elixir formation, Yuanying, and even god transformation, how many crystal stones, how many elixirs, and how many heavenly materials and earthly treasures will be consumed?
How many people, how many spiritual fields, and how many famous mountains and rivers are needed to provide these crystal stones, panacea, and treasures of heaven and earth?
After devouring so many resources and becoming a peerless master, what can this peerless master provide to society?
As far as Li Yao knew, cultivators in the classical era, regardless of those evil cultivators and demons with evil intentions and evil deeds, even the well-known and upright cultivators often only focused on force and looked down upon any profession that could not improve force.
Even if they "act chivalrously and slay demons," to put it bluntly, the main product they can provide to society is "force"!
When most of the elites in a world devour most of the resources, and the only product they can export is "force", so much "force" will definitely be excessive.
If we want such a society to embark on a virtuous cycle and a path of continuous development without being overwhelmed by excessive force, there is only one way to use "excess force" to expand to the outside world and continuously plunder more resources!
Therefore, at the end of the ancient cultivation era, many of the three thousand worlds took the first step and completely eliminated the chaos of internal sects and endless disputes.
After a high degree of centralization, their aggressiveness and combat effectiveness instantly exploded to the extreme, and one after another went on the road.
Instead of resorting to military violence, we embark on the path of external expansion!
Federal historians call this road the road of "classical militarism"!
At first, the path seemed successful.
In front of these iron-like army of cultivators who practice classical militarism and are highly united by the concept of "nation", those cultivators who are still trapped in the vortex of sects and civil strife are free and unorganized and undisciplined.
The "medieval world of cultivation" had no power to fight back and was completely destroyed.
However, good times do not last long, and there are always limits to expansion.
When most of the "medieval cultivation world" in the three thousand worlds are wiped out, and what is left is the "classical militaristic cultivation world" that is as wolf-like as a tiger, the collision between powerful forces is inevitable.
It's inevitable.
That was the era of the "First Three Thousand Worlds Total Civil War" mentioned in history books.
That is to say, at the end of this super civil war that swept through three thousand worlds, the monster race was created in large numbers, and when the "classical militaristic cultivation world" fought with both sides injured, and was dying, they turned against the guest and dominated the star sea, and opened up The prelude to the "Thirty Thousand Years of Dark Ages".
In the final analysis, the problem with the classical militaristic world of cultivation is that it cannot resolve the contradiction among cultivators of "only getting in but not getting out" of resources.
It just uses constant aggression and conquest to cover up this contradiction again and again.
However, in the process of continuous invasion and conquest, the cultivators' desire for "force" will only become more intense.
When the invasion and conquest are frustrated, no matter how powerful the military nation is, it will collapse!
The situation in the Ancient Saint World will only become more tragic.
Because the three thousand worlds outside were in the ancient cultivation era 40,000 years ago, the Star Torch and the Star Sea Teleportation Array left over from the previous Pangu civilization had not been destroyed.
The three thousand worlds were connected into a network, and communication was very convenient.
Even with The technical level of ancient cultivators can enable them to conduct expeditions across the sea of stars.
Therefore, when an ancient world has completed its transformation from the "Medieval Sectarian Era" to the "Classical Militarism Era", it can easily launch external aggression and divert internal conflicts!
If you are lucky, it can even swallow up several or even dozens of relatively backward cultivation worlds within hundreds or thousands of years, becoming a behemoth spanning the star sea, and its life cycle can last for thousands of years!
But the Ancient Saint World is wrapped in a thick dark nebula, making it difficult to escape.
Moreover, times have changed.
After tens of thousands of years of war, the transportation network of the Star Sea outside has been completely destroyed.
The difficulty of launching an expedition to the Star Sea has greatly increased!
Besides, the outside world is very dangerous.
There is no soft persimmon to be pinched in the current star sea.
Not to mention monsters like the True Human Empire and the Covenant Alliance.
Even the Star Federation a hundred years ago is not weak at all.

Realm!
Even if the ancient holy world really reaches the era of "classical militarism", who can it conquer?
Without new targets to conquer, this system of drinking poison to quench thirst simply cannot be maintained.
Li Yao believes in Han Yuantai's sincerity, and also believes in the ambition of Han Baling, the regent of Yunqin.
He also believes that the Yunqin cultivation world is now in the best state of unity and efficient organization!
But this is because they face powerful external threats and have a whole world to conquer.
What about after they overthrow Daqian, bring peace to the world, and dominate the world?
Unable to find a new outlet for the "excess force", Li Yao did not think that this so-called "Yun Qin Dynasty" could survive the world for five hundred years.
"This is a fundamental contradiction that cannot be resolved."
"As long as cultivators establish the concept of 'serving the people', they will give back the large amount of resources they have devoured to the public in various forms including but not limited to 'force', so that the resources can be shared between cultivators and ordinary people.
Only with continuous flow and endless life can this society embark on a virtuous cycle of sustainable development!
” "In the final analysis, the so-called 'cancer' is neither a sect nor a military state, but a cultivator who only knows how to take, but does not understand anything in return.
He is like a black hole that continuously swallows up resources, but has no use whatsoever!"
"How many resources does the birth of a Yuanying old monster consume, and how much manpower and material expenditure is hidden behind it?"
"Don't let it be said that this Yuanying old monster relies on his vast supernatural powers to do evil, run rampant and destroy the existing social order."
"Even if he admires the leisurely life of leisurely clouds and wild cranes, focuses on his own cultivation, does not care about worldly affairs, and does not make any contribution to society.
If he cultivates to the end and is killed by the heavenly tribulation and shattered into the void, won't so many resources be wasted in vain?
?”
"Even if he occasionally comes out to do chivalry and kill monsters, is this contribution proportional to the resources he consumes?"
"Such a deformed world of cultivation will be unsustainable even if it puts on the armor of 'classical militarism' and evolves into a modern state!"
The Yunqin people are on the wrong path.
Li Yao knew this very well.
But he did not despise the Yunqin people because of this, nor did he despise Han Yuantai and one of the more heroic "Four Fiends", Han Baling!
Li Yao is self-aware.
He can understand these truths not because he is smart, but because he stands on the shoulders of countless predecessors and has been summed up with painstaking efforts by countless historians and sociologists.
The cultivators in the ancient holy world know nothing about the outside world, and they have to rely on their own experience and lessons.
They are like blind men and blind horses, groping hard in the eternal night.
It is already amazing to be able to advance to this step!
So, is it possible for the Yunqin people to cooperate?
There are two things to say about this question.
On the one hand, the Yunqin people are following the path of "classical militarism", which is similar to the path of "modern militarism" of the True Human Empire, and the two sides may hit it off.
However, it can be seen from Han Yuantai's conversation and spirit that his brother Han Baling is an outstanding person with great talents and strategies, who is above the times.
If such a character can be brought to the Federation and allowed to study history in depth, will he learn some lessons from the tragic ending of the "First Civil War in the Cultivation World", realize that "this road is unreachable", and then embark on the road to success?
What about the opposite path?
"It's really embarrassing."
"The most critical issue now is that the troublesome factor of the True Human Empire is involved.
If the Federation cannot find a way to accept these ancient cultivators, they will definitely be won over by the Empire!"
"If I were a scout of the Imperial Expeditionary Fleet and came to the ancient holy world and learned about the situation here, Han Baling would definitely be my chosen one to contact!"
"So……" "Is it possible that there are imperial immortal cultivators around Han Baling, and are they secretly carrying out some kind of plan?"
Li Yao felt a slight toothache.
After thinking for a while, he coughed lightly and summoned two barbarian monks, Meng Duo and Gu Siduo.
When the two Wuman monks, one fat and one thin, learned about his identity as "Master Lingjiu", they were so frightened that they urinated and couldn't stand up.
They kowtowed to the ground and begged him for mercy.
Naturally, Li Yao had no interest in arguing with these little fish and shrimps.
Anyway, he had become quite familiar with the two of them these days.

He knew that the two of them had not done anything evil and had a pretty good reputation in the Wunan area, so he let them Two act as temporary followers.
"Call the father and daughter named Ling."
Soon, the anxious father and daughter Ling Shoujing and Ling Lanyin appeared in front of Li Yao.
"Let's not waste time."
Li Yao didn't wait for the other party to salute, waved his hand, and said straightforwardly, "I have just talked with Han Yuantai.
The general situation has been figured out.
Let's talk about it.
What do you want specifically and what can you do?
What are the conditions?”
