Chapter 2170

Li Linghai regretfully said: "the thirty or fifty years after the establishment of the human empire was spent under the internal and external attacks of the covenant alliance and the remnant forces of the Xinghai Republic. When the black star emperor finally beat back the two enemies temporarily, it had seriously consumed the strength of the Imperial Army and his own life, had to recuperate, and had no way to carry out a thorough reform.

"The black star emperor in his old age didn't want to go against the sky and force innovation.

"But on the one hand, those with vested interests who survived become smarter, more hidden and more loyal on the surface; On the other hand, the wounds accumulated in his early years of training and fighting finally broke out in the body of the black star emperor, which made him appear to be possessed from time to time. He could not be as wise and victorious as he was in his early war career, and even made some... Radical decisions.

"Even those true immortals who fought with him and were loyal to him could not understand why he repeatedly killed and even regarded his actions as" killing meritorious officials "after he had seized the supreme power. In this kind of heroic predicament, the black star emperor was depressed, but it left endless troubles for the empire he built.

"Today, with the outbreak of a long-standing imperial disease and numerous abuses, countless people of insight have come back to re-examine the actions of the black star emperor in the past and confirmed his ideas, but they have missed the good opportunity and are too late to repent.

"The old oligarchs who survived all the way from the end of the Xinghai Republic and failed to be completely eradicated by the black star emperor have all changed into the vested interests of the human Empire, swaggering, high-ranking door lords and dignitaries, wantonly devouring the blood and flesh of the Empire and the people.

"They hate and fear the black star emperor from the bottom of their hearts, and they are afraid of the emergence of a second black star emperor who will take everything from them on behalf of the country and the people.

"At the bottom of their hearts, they regard the black star as the most terrible enemy, far better than the holy alliance or the practitioners.

"But on the surface, these fake and castrated cultivators have to hold high the banner of the black star emperor and praise the great achievements of the black star emperor, because only the invincible prestige of the black star emperor can integrate the whole sea of stars, symbolize the legitimacy of the imperial rule, and appease the bottom cultivators and ten times more original people.

"It is in this very contradictory position that there are even many shameless propaganda materials in the Empire. Piriyangqiu's comments on the deeds of the black star emperor, and even a lot of dirty water, have penetrated into the imperial textbooks, historical works and foreign propaganda products. It is shameless to use the method of praise and belittle to vilify the black star emperor secretly."

When Li Yao heard this, he suddenly realized that he couldn't help saying "ah".

Li Linghai was slightly stunned: "what's the matter? What do you seem to think of?"

Li Yao blinked his eyes and said quickly, "nothing. In this way, Wu Yingqi, the great black star emperor, is really a great hero who is open and aboveboard and serves the country and the people?"

In my heart, I felt quite enlightened.

Li Linghai's words have solved a mystery that has plagued Li Yao for hundreds of years.

It was more than 100 years ago when Li Yao first met Su Changfa's exploration team in Kunlun ruins.

At that time, Su Changfa and other immortals wanted to tempt Li Yao to join their team, deliberately playing "brainwashing materials" about the destruction of three civilizations to Li Yao.

This brainwashing propaganda material, later evolved into the star shining Federation's "civilization" game, and leads to endless stories - needless to say.

What Li Yao felt strange at that time was that the destruction of the three civilizations of "Panlong, Yaocha and Wuying" had already made enough efforts to explain the naivety, shortsightedness and ignorance of "Xiuzhen Avenue" and the correctness and imperative of "Xiuxian Avenue". It seemed that there was no need to rush to tell the history of Wu Yingqi, the black star emperor.

Even if we really want to publicize the glorious history of the "former Emperor", it seems that we don't need to portray him like this... Cruel, scheming and inhuman?

Those propaganda stories seem to create a decisive and brilliant emperor, but in fact they leave many flaws, as if they deliberately let people see the dark, vicious and ugly hidden under the lofty throne.

In fact, it is true.

It is precisely because there are many loopholes in the history of Wu Yingqi, the black star emperor, who made his fortune. After a discussion with the blood demons, Li Yao quickly reflected that the Taoist heart did not waver at all, and he still adhered to the idea of the practitioners.

But, according to common sense, it doesn't make sense at all!

The real Empire has ruled the Xinghai Central Committee for thousands of years. I don't know how many worlds it has conquered. How could it be that it can't even make a good publicity product and leave so many loopholes in the style of praise and derogation?

As the so-called "respect is taboo", even though Wu Yingqi, the black star emperor, is really a heinous devil with heinous crimes, as his descendants, should not these immortals make up their mistakes and portray him as bright, holy and flawless?

Why... After reading the brainwashing materials provided by the immortal cultivator and learning about the history of Wu Yingqi, the black star emperor, you will naturally feel that he is a villain?

When ancient court painters painted portraits of emperors, they knew to ignore all the pockmarks on the emperor's face.

How come they go to the propaganda materials of the immortal cultivator and make it worse, for fear that the audience won't hear how fierce, crazy and cunning Wu Yingqi is?

This is a super unqualified, even brainwashing material written by "anti thief and anti party disorder"!

Anyway, Li Yao was thinking that if he was the emperor of the Empire, he would have to arrest and behead the people who compiled this propaganda material one by one.

Li Yao never believed that the Propaganda Department of a country with a thousand year history of conquest, colonization and brainwashing would be so retarded.

Later, they asked Su Changfa and di feiwen about it, but they were not clear about it. They only knew that the official propaganda of the empire a long time ago was just like this. On the surface, they played up the great achievements of the black star emperor. But if you touch it carefully, you can feel the feeling of madness and cruelty of the black star Emperor Wu Yingqi.

Li Yao has been pondering over this matter for more than a hundred years, but he hasn't figured it out.

It's not until today that we all understand.

More than 100 years ago, I first heard the story of Wu Yingqi, the black star emperor, in the ruins of Kunlun. The instinctive fear and disgust is not an illusion, but the effect that the other side deliberately wants to create.

Nine times out of ten, these brainwashing propaganda materials are written by those powerful and powerful people. They should not only implant the first impression that "the real empire is extremely powerful" in the audience's mind, but also implant the first impression that "the black star emperor is crazy, a bloodthirsty butcher and a super villain".

The latter is even more important than the former!

"I see. The propaganda departments of the Empire are not retarded, but they are all" anti thieves. "

Li Yao said in his heart.

"Without Wu Yingqi, the black star emperor, all human beings in the middle of the Starry Sea are now under the rule of the covenant alliance, deprived of seven emotions and six desires and free will, and become inhuman flesh and blood machines."

Li Linghai said faintly, "can't the black star emperor be regarded as a hero just by resisting the Holy Alliance and vowing to defend the central part of Xinghai?

"Unfortunately, history has always been written by the winners. The black star emperor led countless real immortal martyrs to fight to defend human civilization to the death. After all kinds of difficulties and dangers, he finally established a human empire. But now all the fruits of victory have been stolen by those powerful men and noble families.

"In the last few hundred years, especially in the last one or two hundred years, the decay of these aristocrats has reached an unbearable limit."

Li Yao's heart moved: "how to say?"

"It's simple, it's critical - longevity."

Li Linghai said, "the biggest problem facing the Empire now is that almost all the monks and nuns of noble origin have lived too long."

Li Yao is stunned: "live too long?"

"Yes, it's natural to replace the old with the new and metabolize. It's a thief to be old but not dead."

Li Linghai said, "in the first five hundred years, the Empire continued to expand and fought some tough battles. A large number of jiedan, Yuanying and even the immortals in the apotheosis period would fight in person, or burn their lives and constantly output a lot of mental contributions. The probability of being possessed, seriously injured or even falling on the spot is not low.

"When the older generation of immortals die, the new generation of immortals will have the chance to rise, the hope and the motivation to struggle, right?

"But in the next five hundred years, the Empire had no large-scale war to fight, and the" cake "was almost divided up. Every radish went deep into its own pit, and the only problem to consider was how not to be pulled out.

"In this way, a large number of high-level practitioners have changed the purpose of cultivation from" how to improve combat power and computational power "to" how to prolong life span and even immortality. ".

"These high-level cultivators have a lot of resources, and they can consume astronomical amount of crystal stones regardless of cost. In order to prolong their life for a few days, they have made great progress.

"In the last few hundred years, the average life expectancy of those above Yuanying in the Empire has been getting longer and longer. In the past, in the era of the black star emperor, even if he was as strong as the Emperor himself, he would live to heaven after he was less than 400 years old. Today, if you take good care of the early Yuanying period, you will have a chance to live to 300 or 400 years old. If you step into the realm of deification, there is a special secret blessing, It's not unusual to live five or six hundred years. "

"So exaggerated?"

Li Yao smacks his tongue secretly.

The famous long-lived old man of Xingyao Federation, GUI Weishou, lived only eight or nine hundred years with the blood of the demon turtle and the irregular hibernation, so he was known as "Renrui".

Yuanying and Huashen of the human empire can easily live for three or five hundred years. It seems that they are not the limit. It's really... Frightening.
