Chapter 363: A Saint Does Not Do Nothing, and There Is No Saint Without Doing Nothing

Zeshui Yuan looked at Zheng Faming excitedly and said, "A Ming, have you thought of this a long time ago?"

He is also a great wizard in Zhenhai Realm. He is said to be a high-ranking member of Zeshui Department, but he is just a figurehead and can only be regarded as a high-level thug.

And now, he also has the hope of building his own tribe.

After all, under Shaohao, there are very few great wizards in the Zhenhai realm who have no power affiliation.

Zeshuiyuan and Heshanfu are the few great wizards in the Zhenhai Realm who have no roots in the Shaohao Wilderness.

If a standing army is established in the future, those of them who have no background may be promoted and reused!
Just thinking about it made Zeshui Yuan feel extremely excited.

Zheng Faming curled the corners of his mouth.

He is a little worried now. Will Shaohao hold a grudge against him?
After all, his proposal just now was indeed somewhat offensive. If Shaohao had not diverted the conflict, Shaohao would have been the only one who suffered in the end!

Lu Chen then said: "You go back first and inform all the tribes in Shaohao's wild country to recruit troops within seven days. One month later, the Tianlu tribe will hold a nomination meeting. Then, it will be time for me to take over Tianlu!"

"Long live!"

Zeshui Yuan was the first to roar loudly to express his support.

"Long live!"

These are some of the followers, and they are also the ones who will increase their benefits. Well, there are also a few who have been brainwashed, such as Danniaoping of the Danniao clan.

"Long live!"

This is the roar of everyone.

No matter what, things have been made clear and the overall situation has been established. Even if some of them want to oppose, they cannot find a good opportunity. They can only hope that their clans and tribes can occupy some important positions in Shaohao's standing army, so that they can get the largest share when the cake is divided in the future.

Yes, they haven't fought a single battle with the Tianlu tribe yet, but already many people have begun silently calculating how much benefit they can gain in the future!

However, this is also human nature.

The power has grown so fast, it certainly cannot be because of ideals, most of the people who come to join them are just looking for benefits.

If there is not enough interest to motivate you, why would anyone come to join you?
However, at the beginning of a business, profit is indeed the most motivating thing.

The news of Shaohao's standing army spread to every corner of Shaohao Wilderness overnight.

Anyone who is loyal to Shaohao can participate!
The Danniao clan, which had finally settled down, was once again overcrowded with people.

And this time, there were really a lot of people coming.

The wilderness is too vast, there are too many tribes, and there are many lonely and frustrated warriors.

Now there is an opportunity to turn things around, and no one wants to miss it.

Three days later, Lu Chen announced the basic structure of Shaohao's standing army.

The number of standing troops was set at one million.

There are more people, but Lu Chen can't afford to support them.

Even though we are able to support so many people now, these soldiers still want to join the standing army even if they have to provide their own rations.

Lu Chen had anticipated this. He communicated with Qingniao Luan, asking her to speed up food production in the rear, and also arranged for Geng Jinshi to build more weapons.

The Danniao clan was responsible for general government affairs.

In just seven days, a million-strong army had taken shape.

Lu Chen took the position of legion commander, Danniao Bu and Geng Jinqiu took the position of deputy legion commanders, and Qingniao Luan took the position of chief of logistics.

Next, a large army group will be formed for every 100,000 people, and five army group heads have already been appointed.

The red bird is flat, the red mountain is copper, the He mountain is bound, the dove is calling, and the shaking mountain is Peng.

The leaders of the other five major armies will need to be competed for by clans, tribes, and large individual groups.

How to compete, you ask?

That is certainly a contribution!
The more you contribute, the better!

Look at the Danniao clan, the Qingniao clan, and the Gengjin clan. Just because they contributed so much, they were given positions second only to Shaohao right from the start.

The Danniao clan even contributed their entire tribe, thus occupying a place among the top ten group leaders.

This has aroused the thoughts of countless people.

Yes, Shaohao is now forming his own legion, and he is short of men, soldiers, and food. If I go there with my own soldiers, horses, and food, can I directly get a high-level position?

Think about it further, what if you could lead an entire tribe?
Perhaps medium and large clans and tribes would not be willing to do this, but it is a different story for small tribes.

In an instant, followers gathered.

Teams continued to pour in from all directions and converged towards the direction of the Danniao clan.

Some of them were afraid that there was not enough time, so they sent messengers to report to Lu Chen, expressing their willingness for the entire clan to submit.

The Danniao clan began to become lively again.

At night, the moon and stars are sparse.

The hustle and bustle of the day had not completely passed. Looking into the distance from the city wall of Danniao, one could still see some teams coming in a steady stream.

Lu Chen was thinking about his future plans in his mind. He had already made a big enough fuss, and perhaps many people had already noticed him.

At this moment, Lu Chen's heart moved and he looked to the side.

Ze Shuiming was blocked outside by his personal bodyguard Yao Shanpeng.

"Boom, let him in."

"Here."

Yao Shanpeng made way and said coldly to Ze Shuiming: "Go ahead."

Ze Shuiming said, "Thank you." Then he came to Lu Chen's side and said, "Meet Shaohao."

Lu Chen looked at Ze Shuiming with a smile: "Did you find out?"

Zeshui... no, it should be Zheng Faming nodded helplessly: "A brand new army system, and a name like the group army, just think about it and you know it's impossible for the natives of the Great Wilderness to come up with it."

"Haha, that's not necessarily true."

Lu Chen laughed: "There are many surprising things in the Great Wilderness World. If you can see Xuanyuan Hill one day, you will definitely be shocked."

Zheng Faming asked, "I heard that Xuanyuan Hill is a moving mountain. Is this true?"

Lu Chen nodded: "It's like putting four wheels on Kunlun Mountain and pushing it forward."

Zheng Faming was shocked when he heard this.

Lu Chen said: "Tell me, why did you come here?"

"As expected, I still can't hide it from you."

Zheng Faming shook his head and said calmly: "I can't tell you the details, but when it's time to betray you, I will definitely continue to betray you."

If an ordinary person heard this, he would definitely drag Zheng Faming out and chop him to death first.

But Lu Chen was not surprised at all, and even touched his chin with great interest: "It is unlikely that the Great Wizard of the human race will plot against me. They don't have the mind to follow your long-term plan now. The only one who has the time and energy to do so can only be a big man with a very long lifespan... Well, an emperor has set his sights on me, haha, my name Shaohao is still very useful."

Zheng Faming was not surprised that Lu Chen could think of this. He was just a little curious: "Now the Yellow Emperor is in power. It should be a long time before Shaohao ascends the throne, right? Also, do you really want to take Xuanxiao's position?" Lu Chen waved his hand: "Some things can't be said casually. What does it mean to grab a position? It means that the virtuous person occupies it."

Zheng Faming couldn't help but smile when he heard this, and nodded, saying, "Okay, as long as you have this ambition, I support you."

"Don't be so arrogant. Who are you to support me now?"

Lu Chen glanced at him and said, "They are just Qi Refiners in the Qi Refining Stage. How many do you think I can summon with just one word?"

Zheng Faming was speechless for a moment.

That’s right. He is no longer the chief adviser of the Great Xia Kingdom. Instead, his highest-ranking identity is that of the spy of Duke Dong.

I felt a little uncomfortable, but I also knew that what Lu Chen said was the truth.

"Don't mind. At least your brain is still of some use to me."

Lu Chen said with a smile.

Zheng Faming also smiled. He would not be defeated by these few words: "That's true. I may have enough brains now."

This is a modesty. Lu Chen has also investigated Zheng Faming.

He is not a formal employee of Da Xia, but has worked his way up step by step. Relying on his amateur status, he has reached the position of chief consultant of the martial arts department. Does this mean that he is smart enough?

Naturally it is impossible.

"What do you think of my current situation?" Lu Chen went straight to the point.

"Master...Shaohao is right. Your current situation is not good." Zheng Faming did not hide anything. He answered whatever Lu Chen asked.

Lu Chen was not surprised at all, just a little surprised: "You can see the overall situation now?"

“It’s hard to see the overall situation, but based on some current circumstances, we can generally infer it.”

Zheng Faming said: "Shaohao's current identity and status should be pushed to the front by someone, right? Well, if my guess is correct, he should be a Qi Refiner?"

Lu Chen nodded, but did not interrupt, motioning for him to continue.

"Although the Qi Refiner's Path is a suitable path for the human race, it will not be supported by everyone. This is inevitable."

Zheng Faming said: "As far as I know, the human race in the Eastern Wasteland is very opposed to the path of Qi Refiners. After all, the Qi Refiners do not care about bloodline and origin. As long as the Qi Refiners rise, it will inevitably cause a certain impact on the clan and tribal system inherent in the human race. This is the most fundamental reason. Even if there is Xiong Xuanyuan, although he has three Qi Refiners under his seat, it is not easy to spread the Qi Refiners lineage."

At this point, Zheng Faming paused for a moment before saying, "In addition, the Qi Refiner lineage is actually not suitable for the general public."

Lu Chen's eyes flashed, and he asked with interest: "Oh, why do you say that?"

Zheng Faming smiled and said, "In fact, this is not difficult to infer. As the name suggests, the Qi Refiner is to refine Qi, but there is only so much Qi in the world. If the Great Wilderness World also abides by the law of conservation of energy, then the existences that reach the peak must be only a small group, not too many.

Moreover, the Qi Refiners have too much of an advantage in terms of longevity. I just said that Qi Refiners don’t care about their origins and bloodlines, but on the other hand, the Qi Refiners are the ones who care the most about their origins and bloodlines.”

Lu Chen turned to look at Zheng Faming, the playful look on his face disappeared, and he was serious: "Did you figure it out?"

“It’s not hard to see.”

Zheng Faming sighed and said, "Both Fuxi and Shennong may have seen this, so they did not spread the Qigong lineage widely."

"After all, if there are factions among the Qi Refiners, then the future of the human race will always be controlled by the various factions of Qi Refiners, just like the innate gods and demons in the past."

"I can see it, and it's very simple. After all, if the future develops according to some of the legends in our country, it is very likely to become the world in the Investiture of the Gods, where saints and immortals are high above and major sects decide all disputes in the world with a single word."

“Although The Investiture of the Gods is just a strange novel, if the Qi Refiners really took over the world, this situation would be very likely to occur.”

“Whether it was Emperor Fuxi or Emperor Shennong, the two generations of Emperors of the human race finally overthrew the many innate gods and demons that oppressed the human race. How could they allow a new group of Qi-refining masters similar to the innate gods and demons to oppress the human race again?”

After hearing this, Lu Chen fell silent.

He had never thought about this before, and only thought about it recently.

The human race rose from obscurity.

Emperor Fuxi held up the sky for the human race and broke a hole, allowing the human race to stand up straight. Emperor Shennong carried on the tradition and suppressed the innate gods and demons from all sides, allowing the human race to truly dominate the wilderness.

And their vision is extremely far-reaching.

In the eyes of many people, the Qi Refiner lineage is indeed a good path for development, just like Lu Chen in the past.

But in the eyes of the two Heavenly Emperors, this is not necessarily the case.

The human race has already overturned one part of the world, and the practitioners of the Qi Refining lineage are the group most likely to become another part of the world!
After all, a great wizard at the Earth-Fulling Realm can only live for thousands of years. Even if he has the means to prolong his life or has unique blood, he can only live for two to three thousand years at most, and then he will inevitably die of old age.

Even among the ancient witches of the Futian realm, there is no example of anyone living beyond 20,000 years.

So it seems that the human race now has rigid classes, but in fact, it is still a living stream. It’s just that this living stream flows slowly, and for ordinary humans, it is as if it does not exist.

What about the Qi Refiners at the Tianjun realm?
Since the emergence of the Qi Refiners lineage, until now, there has not been a single Qi Refiners master at the Heavenly Monarch level dying of old age in the Great Wilderness!
On the contrary, the older they get, the smarter the Heavenly Kings become, and the stronger they become!

Not to mention the future, even now among the Qi Refiners there are already many factions.

As long as a Qi Refiner has a bit of background, he or she basically has more or less connection with those Qi Refiners at the highest level.

Even though a man named Lu Chen who claimed to be a disciple of Emperor Donghua popped up in the middle, he quickly established connections with this group and even integrated into it.

The Qi Refiners call it inheritance, but in fact, it is another variant of the bloodline clan system.

Moreover, the most terrifying thing about this variant is that the power foundation of the upper echelons has become a complete stagnant pool, and even the probability of slow flow is extremely rare!

Take the example of the Investiture of the Gods, the Hunyuan Saints are high above, and no matter how many people below them die, the highest beings can only eat a Meteorite Pill and be imprisoned in the Zixiao Palace at most.

Perhaps tens of millions of years later, the saints of the great religion will once again step out of it.

The sky is still the same sky, it has never changed from the beginning to the end!

Lu Chen nodded: "You are right, the lineage of Qi Refiners is indeed likely to be a great force in the future of the human race. How do you think we can prevent this?"

Zheng Faming sighed and shook his head slightly: "Shaohao, to be honest, this kind of thing is unavoidable."

Lu Chen stared at him and slowly frowned.

Zheng Faming was not giving in at all: "If Shaohao had read history, he would have understood that every dynasty and country, at the beginning of its establishment, would absorb the lessons of the previous generation, or even several generations of countries that had perished."

"Zhou died due to feudal fiefdoms, Qin established prefectures and counties, and died due to brutality. Han Dynasty rested and recuperated at the beginning, and died due to its strength. Sui Dynasty established the imperial examination system to divide the gentry. Even though Song Dynasty reduced military power to the extreme, it was still swallowed up by foreign races. Ming Dynasty emperors guarded the country's borders, and gentlemen died for the country. It was the same..."

"Every dynasty has a cycle, Shaohao, this is not about the system, but about the human heart."

Lu Chen did not speak.
He didn't know what to say.

Maybe when they were fighting for the world, a group of people had good ideas, but people are divided. Zhu Yuanzhang probably never thought that he had established so many laws against corrupt officials in order to deter people, but in the end the Ming Dynasty was still defeated by a large group of corrupt officials and aristocratic gentry.

Isn’t this ridiculous?
So, what Zheng Faming said is right.

The quality of a system has never been the most critical factor. The most critical factor is the people's hearts.

No matter how well your system is established, if people’s hearts are corrupt, it will inevitably fail in the end.

To put it in perspective, the big guys in the current Qi Refiners lineage may have good intentions. They just want to revitalize the Qi Refiners lineage and make it flourish among the human race.

But what about the future?

What happens after the Qi Refiners truly gain control of power?
Can the lineage of Qi Refiners, who have an extremely long lifespan, really maintain their original aspirations?
This is something no one knows.

Have the saints of the major religions listed in the List of Gods ever imagined that one day their disciples would encounter a calamity and be killed?

The sage did nothing, so why did he almost destroy the heaven and earth and reorder the earth, water, wind and fire in the end?
"A sage is not inaction, and there is no sage without action." Lu Chen said faintly.
