Copy of the reckless man: I can see the status bar

If you ask the Blood River Demon Lord to challenge the moral bottom line of mankind, he still has the courage to do so.

After all, he has always done this, but his ideas were not as outrageous as Lu Wenwu's.

But you let him challenge the rules of heaven?

He really doesn't have the courage.

Even though the world of immortal cultivation has always been talking about going against the will of heaven, going against the will of heaven, how many people actually dare to go against the will of heaven?

Do you think you are defying heaven just by surviving a disaster?

Stop joking, buddy. Isn’t thunder tribulation also a part of the rules of heaven?

Isn’t the improvement in your cultivation level after crossing over also a part of the rules of heaven?

Otherwise, the heavens directly stipulate that one's soul will be shattered and one will die suddenly within ten seconds after transcending the tribulation. Do you think there are still people who dare to practice Taoism while shouting the slogan "against heaven"?

Lu Wenwu is completely different.

On the surface, everything seems to be going according to the rules.

But if you think about it carefully, this is no longer against the will of heaven in the conventional sense, it is directly against the laws of natural development!

This is to declare war on the Heavenly Dao with real swords and guns!

The Blood River Demon Lord really doesn't dare.

Now he seemed to finally understand vaguely what the "devil" was.

Those who are not bound by any rules and do whatever they want are demons.

This is probably the true meaning of magic.

It is totally against the will of heaven.

This is not something that can be brushed off by the Confucian excuse of "it goes against the laws of nature and human ethics".

This is really going against the will of heaven.

"You seem very scared?" Lu Wenwu asked with interest, "Weren't you just now looking like 'If I hear the truth in the morning, I will die in the evening'?"

Blood River Demon Lord's face was covered in sweat, and he smiled bitterly and said, "Your Majesty, what you described is really too shocking. I am a little stupid and can't adapt to it for a while."

"Is this still shocking? It seems that your ability to accept things needs to be improved. This is just putting some things out in the open, that's all."

Lu Wenwu shrugged.

"Eating people is the same in ancient and modern times, both in China and abroad. Survival of the fittest, winner takes all, this is an unchanging truth since ancient times. I think as a demon lord, you should be able to understand this to some extent."

“I still understand.”

The Demon Lord of the Blood River, with a head full of sweat, hesitated and his throat was dry.

"But this, this, this is totally against the will of heaven. And this method is too much."

The Blood River Demon Lord is a bit stuck.

He racked his brains but still had no idea how to describe Lu Wenwu's actions.

If it's simple and rough

This is so damn inhumane.

Looking back at what he did when he was young, the Blood River Demon Lord thought that compared with what Lu Wenwu described, he was simply at the level of a moral saint.

I was just simply killing people.

No wonder he can be the Dragon King. I’m just a small king of magic.

Or the kind that is not actually recognized by everyone.

"You, the Demon Lord, are still too young, and you don't deserve the title." Lu Wenwu shook his head and sighed, "If killing many people and being powerful can be considered a Demon Lord, then Xiaoxi would have already achieved the Golden Immortal of the Demon Dao."

The Blood River Demon Lord didn't know who the Xiao Xi he was talking about was, but he still lowered his head in shame.

Lu Wenwu continued, "Compared to what I just told you, the explicit way of eating people and spitting out some bones, eating people without spitting out bones is the real bloody, cruel and brutal way."

"It's a dark quagmire created by an invisible knife cutting into your body. Everyone is swept away by this environment and eventually swallowed up by the person at the top."

"That is the ultimate despair and absolute powerlessness. From birth to death, facing this helpless reality all day long, but without any means of resistance, even death would be a luxury."

"At this time, the resentment and despair that can be spawned by group consciousness are far beyond what your current world of immortal cultivation can produce."

"Can you imagine such a world?"

Chapter 274 What is the Devil Way (Part )

The Blood River Demon Lord opened his mouth.

imagine?

I imagine the market, imagine?

Brother, you think too highly of me.

"It seems you can't imagine it."

Lu Wenwu shook his head with a hint of regret.

Given the current state of development in the world of immortal cultivation, it would probably be difficult for the Blood River Demon Lord to understand what "capital devours people" means, and even more difficult for him to understand what "capitalism" and the "cyberpunk era" are.

That method of killing people invisibly and manipulating the lives of a large number of low-level mortals with ease is more horrifying than the magic monks killing people with flying swords.

Are you kidding? How can killing people make money as quickly as this?

"It seems that it is too early to tell you this kind of thing now. Your social civilization structure has not yet developed to that stage. You can't imagine too many things that you have never seen before."

"Let me tell you something very simple and superficial. How do you understand the war between mortal nations?"

"War?" The Blood River Demon Lord was stunned. "That's not good. Wars between mortals will affect production and lead to a sharp decline in young and middle-aged people. After a large-scale war, the 'harvest' in the next few years will be affected."

"So this is why you have been using powerful force to forcibly mediate mortal wars?" Lu Wenwu asked with a smile.

The Blood River Demon Lord nodded: "Yes, although the war will bring a benefit in the short term, it is not a good thing for population growth in the long run. The number of mortals is too important to us."

I don’t know if this is some kind of hell joke.

Because population is so important to the Demonic Path, ever since the Blood River Demon Lord took control of the entire Demonic Path, the Demonic Path has used a smaller territory to support more mortals, and the number far exceeds that of the righteous path.

In order to prevent "production reduction" and to improve their cultivation, the vast majority of demon monks are trying their best to provide help to mortals under the rules set by the Blood River Demon Lord and forcibly eliminate war.

Except for some demon cultivators who are particularly picky about bones and bodies, other demon cultivators will mostly choose old and frail mortals when harvesting.

Just like raising chickens.

Fat and strong young hens and roosters should be kept to continue breeding, while old hens that can't lay eggs can be slaughtered directly for meat.

For the righteous, this doesn’t matter, just let it go.

For the demons, the number of mortals can actually determine whether they can break through to the next great realm and thus live a few hundred more years, so they are particularly concerned about it.

This unique social state is difficult to evaluate.

Not necessarily a joke, but definitely funny as hell, and very ironic.

Lu Wenwu said calmly: "You, the Demon Lord, still have a very shallow understanding of 'war'. Or rather, you don't know the huge benefits hidden in war."

"Those who achieve great things do not pay attention to small details. You should have heard this saying. If you want to achieve great things, you must first have a big vision. Yes, you do see further than ordinary demon cultivators, but you don't see far enough."

"I said this to a demon cultivator some time ago - play the long game and catch the big fish. Nothing ventured, nothing gained."

"I wonder if you have ever heard of a word - religion?"

"Religion?" The Blood River Demon Lord looked bewildered. "Are you referring to the so-called religious sacrifices in mortal countries?"

"It's somewhat similar, but not exactly the same." Lu Wenwu said, "Most mortals are short-sighted and follow the crowd blindly. Religion is a torch used to guide mortals' thoughts."

"For example, if you create a religion, well, let's call it prenatal education. First, you have to invent a 'god of immortality' and claim that he is omnipotent. At the same time, you create a few miracles to prove the existence of this god of immortality and make mortals believe in him."

"You should know that mortals don't believe in an immortal without reason. They must come to worship for something. At this time, you should spread the word that sincere worship of immortals will fulfill your wishes, and that abiding by religious precepts will accumulate merits. If you have enough merits, you will enjoy eternal bliss after death."

"Is it possible to do this?" Blood River Demon Lord was confused. "Will any mortal really believe this?"

Lu Wenwu shrugged: "I'm telling you now that if you work hard, I can help you ascend. My status and position are here. Do you believe it?"

The Blood River Demon Lord suddenly fell silent.

The credibility of the contemporary Dragon Emperor, combined with the golden signboard of the dragon clan, is simply invincible.

If the Dragon Emperor said he could take him to heaven, he would really believe it.

Similarly, in the world of immortal cultivation, if a cultivator who has reached the state of spiritual enlightenment wants to deceive a mortal, the mortal will definitely believe it.

To put it bluntly, religion is nothing more than empty promises to believers.

No one can prove that this pie does not exist, but it is possible to falsify information to deceive others into believing that this pie may exist.

As long as you make up some lies to make some people believe that the pie exists, and then others will believe it, a large number of people will be led to believe it because of the herd mentality.

What if it's true, right?

Lu Wenwu continued, "After building the framework of religion and the gods of faith through a series of biographies, it is time to formulate the laws that believers must abide by on a daily basis."

"For example, believers need to have more children. Having children is a great merit, and the more children you have, the more merit you gain. As long as you can give birth to fifty children, your soul will be able to ascend to the immortal world after death, enter the kingdom of the immortal god, and enjoy eternal bliss or something like that."

"At the same time, according to the rule of ascending to heaven after death through merit, corresponding punishments will be derived. For example, not having children is a sin, and not raising them seriously after giving birth is also a sin, and one will go to hell after death."

"In order to increase the subjective initiative of believers, they also use extremely flattering words to exaggerate how wonderful and happy the kingdom of God after death is. Once you go to hell, it will be many times more painful than your current life, and you will receive cruel punishments, etc."

"On a daily basis, you have to rely on the believers to guide their spirits through the biographies you compile, control their behavior through laws, and increase their work efficiency by making promises."

"When all this is done, a religion is probably complete."

The Blood River Demon Lord pondered for a moment and nodded seriously: "Your thoughts are like enlightenment. If we use this "religion" to control those mortals, the effect must be very good. They will be more obedient. But there is one thing I don't understand. What does this have to do with war?"

Lu Wenwu smiled slightly: "Then let me ask you, if you follow the same pattern and create a brother religion with completely opposite laws, but the immortals and gods are very similar, to the point that they are brothers, fathers and sons, and they also encourage having children, and the two countries each believe in a different religion, guess what will happen?"

"For example, here the rule is that you must eat pork every day. Eating charcoal-grilled pork belly every day is a way of honoring God. Eating beef is a blasphemy against God, because beef is the incarnation of God and pig is the enemy of God."

"The other side stipulates that eating cows is a way to show respect to God, pigs are the incarnation of God, and cows are the enemy of God."

Lu Wenwu did not continue speaking, as the expression on Blood River Demon Lord's face had become extremely interesting.

He answered subconsciously: "They will definitely regard each other as enemies, declare each other heretics, and start a crazy war to fight for who is orthodox!"
