Chapter 828 Release (Thanks to Dr. wzw for the great certification!!! Love you~)
Since Marlennia formed an alliance with the evil gods, the monster tide problem that had plagued the main world for a long time was solved. Those monsters would no longer actively attack humans, and they would not deliberately destroy crops. Every time they appeared out of thin air, they would be restrained by a will and circle back and forth in the same place. It was the high-level blood races from other worlds who restrained them.
Many people have already felt this keenly, and they have regained the courage to go out and explore. And without the harassment of those monsters, everyone can finally engage in various production activities. Many people have spontaneously planted crops outside the city.
However, the elimination of the monster threat caused some people to worry. And those people are the nobles living in this world. The reason why they are noble is that they have the ability to protect everyone.
But now that the monster threat has been eliminated, their military strength has begun to be useless. They can no longer rely on protecting others to gain glory.
"Sir, many people in the city are fleeing to Dujuan City! They heard that the living environment there is better, and that gods live there, so it seems safer." An old butler said to a city lord.
The city lord clenched his hands upon hearing this. When the monster threat existed, it was difficult for people to travel long distances. But now that the monster threat has been lifted, many people have begun to pursue their own happy place.
"Have those ungrateful people forgotten how we protected them?" The city lord patted his chair angrily.
"It's all the fault of those damn Furnace Priests. They spread the word about the beauty of Azalea City everywhere, and many people believed their lies! I suggest you expel those Furnace Priests, and we must also strictly control the population coming in and out! Otherwise, if this continues, our city might be uninhabited!" The housekeeper gave advice.
"You are right! But if those untouchables really want to run away, we can't stop them. How about this! Let them pay the migration tax! They can leave here! But they have to pay a sufficient price!" A cold light flashed in the city lord's eyes.
"I'll follow your instructions!" The butler bowed and then left.
Similar plots were played out in many cities. Dujuan City suddenly became a thorn in the hearts of the city lords. If it weren't for the gods sitting there, they would have the urge to destroy Dujuan City.
Moreover, the Crucible Priests began to suffer severe persecution. In the past, the city lords thought they were not a threat and could help people with their illnesses, so they turned a blind eye to the Crucible Priests. But now the situation is different, and the various city lords have begun to expel and suppress the Crucible Priests.
Their atrocities also attracted resistance from the Crucible Priests. It was only then that the city lords suddenly realized that the strength of the Crucible Priests was so terrifying. Many of the priests had reached the demigod level. How terrifying!
"Why are you going against me!!" A city lord who violently suppressed the Furnace Priests was beaten into the palace and toppled off his throne by the Furnace Priests. The city lord roared in despair.
"We never wanted to go against you. In the past, you did protect people from harm. But now times have changed, and the external threats to people have disappeared. The contradictions between you and people have begun to emerge. Even if we don't resist you, the people oppressed by you will sooner or later resist you!" A Crucible pastor changed his previous peaceful image, his eyes were full of creepy red light.
They had long wanted to overthrow these nobles, but due to people's positive views of the nobles, they had always ignored them. Now that these nobles had broken off relations with them, they were more than happy to do so.
"I protected them! They should give me wealth and honor in return! This is a fair deal! What qualifications do you have to blame me!" The city lord, who was beaten badly, said angrily.
"Because of your existence, everyone's desire to pursue a better life is hindered. We do not deny your achievements, but we also do not ignore your evil deeds! Think about it yourself! What kind of evil deeds have you and your men done in the past?"
"People are threatened from outside and cannot leave here, so you are madly exploiting them! If we were not there, how many people would have been driven crazy by you before being killed by monsters?"
"But...at least they are still alive!"
"It's just staying alive! We don't want to argue with people like you anymore! We'll give you one chance! Surrender now and accept our ideological transformation! Otherwise, don't blame us for being rude!" The eyes of the furnace priests became even redder, and terrible lasers were brewing in them.
The city lord felt his hair stand on end as he was stared at by the furnace priests. But even at this moment, he still had no intention of repenting.
"You can take my life! But you can't kill my glory! One day! You will be nailed to the pillar of shame in history..." The city lord shouted madly without any remorse.
Zizizizi~ A burst of lasers swept across, and the city lord's body turned into ashes.
The wind direction of the world began to change quietly, and a large number of nobles were either imprisoned or turned into corpses. Many people were very afraid of this change. They felt that the Crucible Priest was launching a coup and wanted to invade their world.
After all, in the past, their world was threatened by monsters and had little development value. So it seemed very useless. But now that the monster threat has been eliminated, those invaders who are ready to move have begun to kill the nobles!
The terrified people organized their forces to resist and began to flee.
Faced with this situation, the Crucible priests were also quite helpless. They took action a little too early. The conflict between the nobles and the lower class people had not yet completely erupted. Many of the lower class people still had a great deal of goodwill towards the nobles.
But this cannot be blamed on the priests, it was mainly because the city lords attacked them first.
However, there are also many people who can see the situation clearly. In their view, the Crucible Priests are so powerful that they are likely to become the new rulers. So instead of resisting, it is better to surrender directly. Therefore, Dujuan City has become the first choice for people to surrender.
In a short time, the population of Dujuan City increased sharply. Fortunately, Dujuan City was large enough at that time, so even if a large number of people came, it could barely accommodate them.
"Now that the monster threat has been eliminated, our steel mills can finally reduce weapons production and increase civilian production."
"We have discovered several good mines near Dujuan City, and a large number of manpower is needed there."
"We also need to reclaim the wasteland outside and plant crops as soon as possible..."
"We also need to solve the housing problem. We plan to tear down part of the city wall and build more houses..."
“Road repairs cannot be neglected either…”
The Crucible Priests in Dujuan City gathered together spontaneously and began to plan the future development of Dujuan City.
Now that Michaela has been resurrected, Dujuan City no longer needs to remain as a royal city. In addition, Michaela now opened a winery in the city. Because there is not enough grain to make wine, Michaela took a different approach and began to use some common plants to make wine. After his processing, the wine he made was well received by the people.
Many people wanted to replicate his brewing technique, but no matter how hard they tried, they could only produce some unpalatable waste water. Some people also asked Michaela in person how he brewed wine. However, Michaela seemed to be hesitant and did not tell everyone the real way of brewing wine.
Life now has its ups and downs, and a new order is slowly being established on this land. Except for some exiled nobles who are still resisting, the lives of others have begun to change dramatically.
Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye it was the day of the Void Gathering again.
All the evil gods gathered together and began to exchange "breeding experiences" with each other. Because they really could not agree with the so-called equality of all people, nor could they accept the so-called service to the people. So their concepts became distorted, and they distorted the behavior of doing good for mortals into pet breeding.
They think that mortals are their pets, and they are kind to their pets not out of condescension, but simply out of some kind of hobby. With this idea in mind, they feel much less conflicted.
"Everyone, please help me! My world is in complete chaos! After I killed those nobles, the common people below fell into chaos. They don't know what to do!" An evil god shouted in despair.
"Haha, your operation procedure is wrong! I first taught people to develop technology, and then they started fighting among themselves! The new nobles who relied on technological development began to squeeze out the old nobles who relied on land to enslave people.
Then I supported a group of new nobles with progressive ideas to take office and killed the old nobles. Then I began to promote Dio's ideas to the people, and then many people were influenced by this idea and began to spontaneously resist the new nobles who exploited the workers.
Although this sign is not very obvious, I think as long as I increase the guidance, this trend will intensify! Then I will kill those new nobles, and then the world will not be in chaos step by step." An evil god proudly shared his experience.
"Wow! How come your operation is so smooth? Where did you learn it?"
"I took some time to communicate with the people in the Holerlu world, and I often ask Ms. Marennia some questions. My world has a 7x acceleration, and so far, the lives of those mortals have obviously improved a lot. However, how to establish an effective system to prevent their uneven distribution of wealth is still a difficult problem. This requires me to study it slowly..."
"Why think so much? Can't we just kill those who take advantage of loopholes? Even the best system can be exploited by people. It's better to be more brutal." Another evil god expressed a different opinion.
His world is developing well, but his approach is very rough. He will not guide people. He only gives people two choices: either die or act according to his ideas. Now he has almost become the embodiment of the system. However, there is a big problem with this approach, which is that he will be very tired, very very tired! Because even many small problems have to be dealt with by him.
But he didn't care much about it, he even enjoyed the process a little. He liked the feeling of absolute control. And the people in his world were also on a seemingly good development path under his strong control.
"Didn't you spread Dio's ideas to those people?" someone asked.
"Not yet, but it doesn't matter what those people think."
"You can't do this! It's okay in the short term, but they will rebel in the long term! They also have spiritual needs. I think you'd better spread Dio's ideas to them. With a goal, they will understand you, and they will feel better."
"Haha... OK, I'll go back and try."
"..."
"By the way, have you noticed that researching technology seems to be a good way to become a god?" someone couldn't help but say.
After these words were spoken, everyone was silent for a moment. They had not thought about studying technology before, so they did not realize that there was such a path.
But when they calmed down and studied the rules of this world, they also discovered the secrets. However, compared with the unknown path, they still relied more on the path of faith. So no one wanted to try a new path.
"I think we should ask Ms. Marennia about this question! She is knowledgeable and should have some understanding of this road." Someone broke the silence.
