Traveling the Heavens in Thunderbolt

Chapter 595: The Secret of Broken Island
The root cause of gender inequality is the unequal labor production relations.

In ancient China, men were the main labor force in the family. When they were at home, they farmed and herded. When they were away, the government conscripted them to do corvée labor or join the army to fight. These activities had high thresholds and required men to complete them.

The only labor women could engage in was weaving and taking care of their husbands and children.

Labor relations determine social status, and women naturally become subordinate to men.

The change in the status of modern women, after all, is due to the improvement in the mode of production, which has created more occupations and lowered the threshold. Women can now do any occupation that men can do.

Since both parties earn the same amount of money, there will naturally be no inequality in social status.

In The Bitter Realm, although the setting is ancient times, the status of women is closer to gender equality.

Because in an environment where martial arts are respected, women can also practice martial arts, and their strength is no less than that of men.

Aihuo Nurong, Fayunzi, Zigong Tonglin, Jiuhuo, the daughter of Mokuei and others are representatives among them.

Even the defeated Taixi Duke is one of the three dukes in the Fire House Buddha Prison, representing the highest interests. His status is nominally not lower than that of the Curse Lord and the Triumphant Marquis.

The gender inequality problem on Killing Island is even more serious than in ancient China.

After all, in ancient times, women could gain status by virtue of their sons, and could even wield power over the world as an empress dowager.

But on the Killing Shatter Island, women cannot give birth. They are completely dependent on men and tree-born people. Without even this opportunity, there is naturally no way to reform.

According to Yu Cixin's idea, she wanted to change the island's concept by teaching the island's women civil and martial arts. Even if everything went smoothly, it would only be temporary.

If the problem of women's infertility in Shattered Island is not solved, there will be no bloodline inheritance. After Yu Cixin and her generation die, men will gain the upper hand sooner or later.

Unless all the men on Shattered Island are killed like in the original drama, and the problem of "since all the men are dead, there will be no problem of male superiority and female inferiority" is achieved, the problem of male superiority and female inferiority on Shattered Island will continue to exist.

But the price of doing so is that there will be no more men in the Slaughter Island lineage, and their reproductive capacity will suffer a devastating blow.

Even if the Lord of Wu'er Realm cut off the exhausted source of the Four Realms' sky and the passage from the Realm of Bitterness to the Four Realms, causing the tragic destruction of the Killing Broken Island and the Fire House Buddha Prison, the Broken Island could not escape the fate of destruction.

Unless all the women on Broken Island can achieve mitosis like Shaoyang Jun, they will sooner or later face the problem of bloodline extinction if they continue to live on Broken Island.

(Of course, finding Peacock King could theoretically solve this problem, but considering the population of the country on the Killing Broken Island, only by kidnapping Du Wuyu could Peacock King desperately cast a spell.)
Even if Shaoyang Jun passed the "Shennong Liuli Gong" that can change gender to Yu Ci Xin and asked her to spread it to Shattered Island, how many people can practice this technique to perfection?

Throughout the entire suffering world, only two extremely talented people, Su Huanzhen and the daughter of the Demon King, succeeded in their cultivation.

In the final analysis, allowing the women of Shattered Island to obtain reproductive rights is the fundamental way to truly change the concept of Shattered Island. No wonder Yu Cixin attaches so much importance to it.

Shao Yang Jun asked: "Sister, do you know why among the four realms, only the women of the Slaughter Shattering Island cannot have children, while the other three realms do not have this problem?"

Yu Cixin said bluntly: "Don't keep us in suspense, just tell us now."

"Sister, please listen to me in detail." Shaoyang Jun still had a calm expression and said slowly: "Just before, I asked sister for some blood twice. After the experiment, I found that there was a difference in her blood from ours."

"Where?" Shao Yangjun said shockingly, "There is poison in my sister's blood."

The exorcist was surprised and said, "How is this possible? Sister Wang has lived in the royal court since she was young. She has a special person to take care of her food, clothing, housing and transportation. They are replaced every month. Not to mention that when she was injured, I used spiritual healing methods to treat her. There is no possibility of poisoning."

Shao Yang Jun explained to the woman who was exorcising her life: "I was really confused at first, until I got your blood and tested it and found the same toxin, then I knew why."

"What!? I was poisoned too. How is this possible?" The woman who saved lives was even more surprised.

Because he possessed the power of spiritual healing, ordinary poisons had no effect on him. Even a poison that could kill a master instantly could not kill him directly.

"Indeed. Not only is the poison you two sisters were poisoned with the same type, but yours is more severe than your sister's. That's why I was able to see through the truth of this poison."

“What truth?”

"The infertility of the women on the Slaughter Island must be due to this poison."

Yu Cixin was a little bit incredulous when she heard this, "Brother, what you mean is that all the women in my entire Broken Island lineage are unable to have children because of this poison. Who on earth has such a great ability?"

"Of course, this is not something that a human can accomplish, because the person who did this is not a human at all."

"It's not a human. Could it be... How is this possible!?" After hearing Shaoyang Jun's conclusion, Yu Ci Xin thought of a possibility.

A possibility that is enough to destroy the deep-rooted belief in Wang Shu that has existed since the founding of the Killing Shattered Island.

Shao Yangjun's next words confirmed Yu Cixin's guess, "Yes, everything is because of the killing of Wang Shu of Shattered Island."

"Wang Shu, how could it be Wang Shu!?" The woman who prayed for good fortune was greatly shocked by the faith that the people of Broken Island had always held.

Shaoyang Jun continued, "If my guess is correct, this toxin should be secreted by the King Tree in the Killing Broken Island. As long as you stop eating the food and water affected by the King Tree on the Broken Island, the toxin will be naturally excreted over time. Finally, it disappears, and the woman can regain her fertility. This also explains why King Yadi was able to give birth to a child with Wuyi Shiyin's younger sister in the Tower of Compassionate Light. The reason why the toxin was reduced each time in the two blood tests of the sister. Although the life-saving girl has been in the bitter realm longer than the sister, she has been in a state of stone sealing, so the toxin cannot be excreted naturally."

Yu Ci knew that Shao Yang Jun would never lie to her, so she asked, "The reason why the women of Broken Island are infertile is because they drink and eat water and food contaminated by toxins. The King Tree of Broken Island relies on this method to form a parasitic relationship. The people of Broken Island need to offer sacrifices to the tree to give birth to children, and the tree needs the people of Broken Island to offer sacrifices, so it replaces the women with itself to give birth. According to what you mean, as long as the King Tree of Broken Island is destroyed, the women of Broken Island can become pregnant again."

"It's possible." Shao Yang Jun certainly wouldn't say it for sure, and suggested: "But just in case, sister can find a place after returning to Shattered Island to cut off the influence of Wang Shu first, and then do a test."

Yu Ci Xin asked directly: "Where?"

Seeing Yu Cixin being so direct, Shaoyang Jun smiled bitterly and said, "Sister Yi really trusts me~ She even asked for my opinion on such an important matter."

Yu Ci Xin, who knew Shao Yang Jun very well, said without any burden: "Based on my understanding of you, you would never tell me without preparation. Since you suggested that I choose a place for the experiment, you must have a place in mind. Instead of me thinking hard here, it's better to let you tell me."

"Okay. Then I will never let my sister down." Shaoyang Jun slowly said a place, "..."

Thanks for the reward from Wu Mengsheng.

Thanks for the reward from Dutianshensha Zhoutianxingchen.
