—------------------—
After laying out the general framework, Xu Tianxi tried his best to deal with the fires from all sides.
Shrek City was in ruins, the Sea God Lake had turned into a bloody lake, and the broken walls of the inner and outer cities were filled with dried black blood and rotten flesh. The stench was so strong that it spread far away.
"It's so dirty, why doesn't Di Tian send some water-attributed soul beasts to deal with it?"
Outside the yellow-green mist that filled the sky, Xu Tianxi floated over, frowned, and made a move to create artificial rainfall to cleanse the air.
This was his second time near Shrek City, and the scene was very different from what he had imagined.
"They're all attracted by your golden tree. They're eager to cultivate there every day, so why would they care about their hometown?"
An unpleasant voice sounded, and Meng Hongchen said sourly, "Biji and the Myriad Demon King are both cultivating hard in the Golden Tree. One has life attributes, and the other has plant attributes. They are a perfect match. Xiong Jun can't be the boss and has no intention of taking care of things outside. Chi Wang is acting as a bodyguard for your good sister."
Suddenly, she smiled softly: "Oh, by the way, the Red King is no match for your good sister, but he seems to be obsessed with commanding battles now?"
"Senior Sister Meng, this time we are here to explore the location and look for opportunities, so please don't be angry, okay?" Xu Tianxi smiled bitterly.
"I'm not angry." Meng Hongchen blinked his big eyes innocently and said, "You asked Xiao to give me a message, so I'm here."
It would be strange if you weren't angry. I felt like I was being stabbed all the way, and I felt like you were so angry that you could eat me alive.
Xu Tianxi shook his head secretly and looked at the outline of Shrek City. There were still many remaining human figures on the city wall. Colorful bloodstains mixed with various things turned black. It could be said that the road was paved with broken bones and corpses were everywhere. Many of them could vaguely be seen as human figures.
In addition to the more than two million old residents of Shrek City, there are also millions of newly arrived noble families who come here with their families and regard this place as their last paradise.
Then the Holy Spirit Church came, and paradise turned into purgatory, and everything was gone.
Not many people dared to come here to collect the bodies of the Shrek people. They were afraid of revenge, not only from the Holy Spirit Church, but even more afraid of the Sun-Moon Empire's notebook.
Shrek Academy did have many students all over the world in the past, but no matter how much support it has, it cannot withstand repeated squandering.
The real die-hard fans died one after another, and then even the families related to Shrek Academy within three generations were massacred by unknown powerful people. The methods were extremely cruel, which completely shocked all the surviving people from the original Three Kingdoms.
Unless the Sun-Moon Empire publicly declares amnesty, this city, a thoroughfare between the three kingdoms, will be abandoned forever and become the dust of history.
"I've already beaten them to death so many times. If I repair it here and perform a sacrificial ceremony, there shouldn't be any more fools willing to die, right?"
While Xu Tianxi was destroying the corpses in the ruins, he was thinking about the scene of offering sacrifices to the heavens here. He thought to himself that he had used all feasible means against Shrek.
If there are still deeply hidden spiritual Shrek people coming to die, he might really have to consider Yan Shaozhe's suggestion to eliminate a few of the soul masters of the original Three Kingdoms and completely eradicate their existence.
Meng Hongchen listened to Xu Tianxi's thoughtful words and asked, "Tingxiao said you're going to hold a ceremony here. Are you interested in an interview? And then putting it in the newspaper?"
"How do you say that?"
"You've killed enough people. Perhaps it's time to use some gentle tactics. Blindly killing people won't win their hearts and minds. They won't be used by me. I need to comfort them. Show me your attitude towards them."
As Meng Hongchen made the proposal, he released his martial spirit to fight poison with poison, burying this city that once carried 10,000 years of glorious history and the beliefs of countless people from the original Three Kingdoms period.
"Then it's up to you. I didn't intend to kill them indiscriminately. It's just that in my eyes, soul masters always need to be disciplined. As for the nobles, it's a blessing to let them live."
Xu Tianxi clarified his position, saying that although the new mainland's territory is large, not an inch of land is left for the old forces.
"As for the so-called emperor, I have no interest in managing those government affairs, nor do I have the time. If I had that time, I'd rather improve my cultivation. You can talk to the dean and ask them to find some capable staff. I admit that I'm not proficient in these areas."
"Of course, I like to run around when I have nothing to do. Small problems are inevitable, but if there is a huge disaster that is connected to one another, the only way is to kill them all."
"When the time is right and the continent has developed to a certain level, I, the emperor, should become a mascot or simply abdicate. The titles of the Red Dust Hall Master and his men should also be revoked to set an example. The system of emperors and nobles should be completely ended."
The air was clear and the sun shone down, shining on Xu Tianxi's face, half bright and half shadow. Many thoughts were revealed in the depths of his eyes, sometimes bright and sometimes dark.
As the journey progressed until today, the old nobles were about to die, and it was time to turn against their own people. Xu Tianxi believed that it was the critical moment to completely destroy the old system, and was ready to send this aristocratic monarchy that had lasted for more than 10,000 years on the Douluo Continent to the west and sweep it into the garbage dump.
There are some things that must be done by the first generation, otherwise it will be difficult for the second generation to do them, and after the third generation, they will become a chronic problem and you will be powerless to do them even if you want to.
It is really shameful to hear that an imperial system that is a mixture of slavery and feudalism could last for tens of thousands of years on the mainland.
In the original timeline, the Sun-Moon Empire unified the continent and embarked on a federal system, which was considered an advancement of the times. However, the parliamentarians at that time were still just mouthpieces representing various forces, and the difference was nothing more than a pawn of each side.
Because of the inheritance of martial spirits and spirit masters, productivity has improved, but class stratification has become more serious.
Except for the Blood God Legion, which has a special nature, the legions representing the Federation's military power are almost all private armies controlled by major soul master families. They suck the blood of the Federation to feed their own soldiers. The legion commanders at the Extreme Douluo level can decide everything with a single word, and their words are more effective than those of the upper level.
Common people can awaken their martial souls, but that is all. For common people without money, even buying a hundred-year soul is a luxury, let alone the more advanced spirit-raising platform and thousand-year soul.
Of course, there are many people who have changed their fate against all odds, such as a certain Extreme Douluo Legion Commander who has awakened a mutant wolf martial spirit, but he was able to reach this point only with the support of his father-in-law's family.
Only with the mutation of martial soul and the help of big boss can one barely enter the top circle. The possibility is very small, if not close to impossible.
Meng Hongchen glanced sideways and whispered:
"Why do I feel like you think differently from many others? There are many people in the country who want to crown you with great fanfare, and you really don't like this."
"I've seen some things, but I can't tolerate some of the crap. It's nothing."
"Go back and tell those people not to do anything that shouldn't be done. The money I got from the nobles and royal family is not suitable for squandering. If you have the heart to do it, rebuild this ruined Shrek City and prepare the heavenly sacrifice. It won't be a loss to invest here."
"If I still don't understand... I don't really want to go that far, but I don't mind going that far."
"I am not a good person, but I cannot stand bad people. It doesn't matter if all the sins are my fault. I will use my divine power to eliminate them."
Xu Tianxi shook his head and didn't want to say more.
Seeing that Shrek City was clean and the sky was as blue as a mirror, Xu Tianxi took Meng Hongchen away, flew into the Star Dou Forest, and disappeared into the skyline.
The Star Dou Great Forest is a very dangerous place. The Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire and the Lake of Life are located next to each other. The majestic elemental energy of heaven and earth is extremely powerful, more than ten times that of the outside world.
"Swish", "Swish"…
Two churning sounds came from under the Lake of Life, and the dragon soul of the Ice and Fire Dragon King soared into the sky and greeted Xu Tianxi.
"Roar, roar, roar~——Mountain Dragon King, you are here again. Why didn't you bring our master this time?" A question mark appeared in the Ice Dragon King's head, and his dragon eyes swept over Meng Hongchen.
Although both of them have silver hair, this one is obviously not Gu Yuena.
The Fire Dragon King was more enthusiastic and took the initiative to greet him and show his goodwill: "Aoaoao~ Mountain Dragon King, are you coming to take a bath again? Do you want to try this Lake of Life? It's very effective."
"I came here to look for Fiery Apricot and Star Anise Ice Grass."
Xu Tianxi opened his mouth and introduced Meng Hongchen to the two Dragon Kings. He clasped his fists and said, "I want to build a divine foundation for her. I hope you can lend me a hand."
"One day, I will help you two reshape your bodies."
"Aoaoao~~Everything is on us!" The Fire Dragon King roared to the sky.
"Hahahaha~~From this moment on, we will temporarily treat her as the master!"
The Ice Dragon King expressed his loyalty more thoroughly. A cold light flashed in his dragon eyes, and the two immortal items beside the Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire were taken down and flew towards him.
