However, as the population increases, the resources available to people are limited. In other words, in today's era, the people of Guiliji have no way to expand their territory and can only stay in the plain area north of Tianheng Mountain.

They usually make a living by farming and hunting.

However, the outside world is in constant war, and even though the demon god is dead, his hatred is still hard to resolve.

The weather was sometimes hot and sometimes cold, and the land was full of plagues and evil spirits, which made farming, which was already dependent on the weather, not very optimistic. Hunting also required vigilance against attacks from evil spirits, otherwise one would be injured or even killed.

Taking these reasons into consideration, the people who left their original place had to send a part of them back to another place of settlement.

This also leads to Liyue Harbor, which is currently under the jurisdiction of Li.

Most people in Liyue Port rely on the sea for their livelihood, and they would exchange their excess catches with the people in Guiliji for food and utensils.

Although it seems poorer and more backward than Guiliji, in fact, many people in Guiliyuan started their careers in Liyue Port.

However, both Liyue Harbor and Guiliji can be considered part of "Liyue".

What the girl said about considering Liyue naturally included the people of Liyue Port who were ruled by Li.

"That's right. Kuxue knows very well how much effort her mother has put in to ensure that Guiliyuan will continue to prosper. Now it is finally our turn as newcomers to show our ambitions, so we naturally take on the responsibility."

Guizhong, who was moved by the girl, had been wiping her tears quietly with her sleeves. The girl stood behind her, gently placing her hands on her shoulders, as if to announce that she would inherit this burden.

"Similarly, Kuxue has the Emperor's kindness in saving her life, and she will never forget it. She should also consider Liyue Port, where the Emperor has placed great hopes, and the countless living beings on this land—"

"That is to say, in your opinion, the way Guizhong and I govern now still has some shortcomings?"

Li asked deliberately provocatively, attracting worried gazes from the immortals. Gui Zhong even puffed up his cheeks and glared at him.

The girl answered with her head slightly lowered, neither humble nor arrogant.

"This matter concerns whether the people can live and work in peace and contentment in the future. Kuxue dare not not speak out."

Hearing this, Li curled up the corners of his mouth. He really wanted to hear what the girl had to say. This concerned the lives of many people.

"Then tell me what you think."

“Kuxue knows that the Emperor and his mother have considered the future of Liyue, so they are taking the measure of divide and rule.

However, if one day, the people of the two places become dissatisfied and a gap exists due to differences in culture and lifestyle.

Or if they have to move together due to natural disasters or man-made disasters, how to properly arrange them is something that needs to be considered early on.”

Talking about this matter, Li and Gui finally had some feelings.

The two demon gods were not stupid, they just gave little thought to the matter. In addition, they did not think that the Li people, who were of the same origin, would turn against each other.

But we have to admit that what Kuxue said is not without reason.

Li may not have such a deep understanding of this, but in the end, he is always in the company of people, so naturally he has seen the good and the evil in people.

She also knew the truth that "what is worrying is not the scarcity of wealth but the inequality of wealth", but she believed more in the good side of human nature, and thought that the Guiliji led by her would not be tainted by such ugly things.

However, there is indeed a sharp contrast between the prosperous Guiliji today and the Liyue Harbor under the rule of the Emperor.

The former is located in a plain, but nowadays it is connected by roads and the towns and farmlands extend as far as Shimen.

On the other hand, Liyue Harbor is located on the coast and is the first line of defense to be hit by tidal disasters. If the great demon in the sea stirs up a tsunami and the Emperor is distracted by other wars, the immortals alone may not be able to resist for long.

How could someone born in Liyue Harbor not yearn for the affluent life in Guiliji?

And how could those who had experienced the prosperity of the original Guili be able to endure the hardship of going out to sea every day in Liyue Harbor?

On the negative side, why can the people you lead, Guizhong, live in peace and security in Guiliyuan, and easily exchange a small amount of grain for the fish that we have worked so hard for and risked our lives for?

As for us, the people who follow the Emperor, we not only have to live under the threat of the sea all the time, but we also have to endure hardships and work hard to barely earn the same level of food and clothing as the people of Guiliji. We even face the prospect of all the young people going to Guiliji, and the older generation being unable to go out to sea?

If we compare the strength of the weapons, how can the Demon God of Dust be a match for the Emperor? He is just a canary in a cage!

Over time, the friction between the two places may be enough to accumulate resentment and pose hidden dangers.

After thinking it over, Li felt that the possibility was not low. Looking at Guizhong, he saw that there was also a hint of worry in his eyes.

This hidden danger has existed for many years, but no one has ever mentioned it to the two demon gods. Now it has been revealed by Kuxue.

If the immortals want to get peace and quiet so that they can concentrate on practicing immortal arts, they themselves are not well versed in the ways of the mortal world and are often busy with wars, and it is not appropriate for them to judge the emperor who leads them, so it can be understood.

But what about the Limin people living under their rule?

They should be the ones with the most direct experience, but no elder has ever mentioned it to the two demon gods.

In addition to being grateful for the kindness of the two demon gods, there is also the consideration of not wanting to cause a rift between the Emperor and Guizhong.

Most of the people who lived in the aftermath of the Demon War struggled to survive, and only longed for peace in the world and a piece of land to live out their days in peace.

We also know that the days we have today are hard-earned, so we cherish them all the more. But when the older generation who have experienced the hard-won peace have all passed away, what will the younger generation do?

Maybe this generation won’t, and maybe the next generation won’t either, but the Demon War will eventually end. By then, who knows how many pieces of safe land will remain in Liyue that are suitable for survival?

If one day, the two places collide for survival, even if they try to find common ground while reserving differences under the leadership of Li and Guizhong, who can guarantee that it will always be like this...

Both demon gods love someone, and even if they sign a contract strictly prohibiting it, it will only accumulate conflicts instead of relieving them, and it will sooner or later lead to an explosion.

However, how could someone who was born in Guiliji, grew up in Xianfeng, and experienced only three years of bitter snow, have a glimpse of the true love in the world?

With only the memories of his childhood and three years of experience in fighting demons and defending the Way, is it really so easy to see through the thoughts and ideas of ordinary people?

Obviously, in the past, she preferred to be alone and did not want to get involved with too many mortals. Is her current change related to her fate?

Even Master Liuyunjiefeng could only speculate that this was probably related to the girl's own heart lock.

Among the immortal methods, there is a method called Red Rope Binding Soul that is similar to this. It can suppress a person's fate and then bind the evil thoughts.

But at the same time, it will also restrict many emotions that belong to people, making the human side weaker and weaker, like a sculpture lacking all emotions.

However, no one had ever performed this technique on her, and the girl simply trapped herself in the past.

Now, after witnessing all kinds of life, the decision she made seemed more like it was for some "wishes of her own".

But, is there any wish that can only be fulfilled by taking on such a heavy responsibility as pacifying the troubled times?

All the immortals don’t know, and Li doesn’t know either.

Perhaps only after seven years of living together with the girl did I get to know her true face.

Chapter 12: Mysterious Jade Seedlings

The girl's wish was very simple, and it was the result of meditating on her future for countless days and nights.

The mission in this life is to make the zombie "Qiqi" remember him, but Liyue is so big, where should he go to find him?

What's more, with her identity, once she encounters a zombie that sucks human blood and harms the village, she will inevitably have to eliminate the devil and defend the way of justice, and she must consider how to subdue the other party.

Fortunately, this can be accomplished with the help of the Goddess's Secret Art of Senturing Spirits. After all, zombies need to obey orders and the talismans contained in the secret art tell how to make such orders.

As long as he could suppress the other party, he could naturally rewrite the decree to take away control and order it to remember its new master...

Even if they do this, they can't do anything that will make people regret for the rest of their lives. After all, are zombies without emotions, indulging their instincts, and eating raw meat and drinking blood really considered human?

Even if we put aside these concerns, there is still the problem of how to make the other party come to you on their own initiative.

Then, spreading your reputation may be the best way.

Assisting the Emperor and Gui Zhong in ruling Liyue is the best way to have the best of both worlds.

Of course, if the purpose is just to complete the mission, following the Emperor and other Yakshas to fight on the front line is the fastest way.

As long as you can make a name for yourself, you don't have to worry about other evil spirits coming to you. What is prominent in this barbaric era is that every demon wants to ascend to the throne by stepping on the corpses of others.

As the "adopted daughter" of the Emperor, if Kuxue can shine, the other demons will surely not sit idly by.

They will definitely find ways to send their demons to target her. By that time, there will be many kinds of monsters, and there may be zombies among them. Maybe one day they will meet on the battlefield.

At that time, whether it is to suppress them and then send them away or kill them on the spot, it will all be possible.

But the girl didn't think that path was suitable for her, of course. It wasn't that she was soft-hearted. Kuxue would never have any mercy on those demons who harmed the people, brought disaster to the area, and took pleasure in the suffering of mortals.

However, her strength is not outstanding among the current Emperor's team.

After all, the magic of immortals is not meant for fighting and ruthlessness, and she has only been a disciple of the immortal sect for a short time. Compared with other immortals, her cultivation is not deep enough.

Even if she grows up to be as powerful as the Emperor in the future and possesses the ability to move mountains and fill the sea, what can she do?

In troubled times, force is only the criterion for victory or defeat, and the threshold for peace. However, the way to protect is not simply to compete with each other, but also requires careful study of the way to development.

Secondly, living in this chaotic world, witnessing the various states, decline, and suffering of the human world, can I really have a clear conscience if I just walk away like this?

I have been in the Immortal Mountain for seven years. If what I have learned during this period is only for my own selfish desires, wouldn't I be betraying the trust of the True Lord and making my return home disappointing?

Therefore, she wanted to assist Guizhong and Emperor Jun in ruling Liyue to the best of her ability.

Let this land, which is always filled with war and suffering, regain new vitality, so that the hungry can have corn to fill their stomachs, the thirsty can have clean water to drink, and the sick can have medicine to heal.

Here, what I wished and sought in the past were nothing more than small righteousness, but now if I can make the people of this place live and work in peace and prosperity, wouldn’t it be a great righteousness between heaven and earth?

In fact, when thinking about this, Kuxue could already clearly feel that the memories and influences that once belonged to "Youya" were being constantly stripped away.

And she, named Kuxue, was born from this place. She did not abandon or forget all the beautiful and precious things in the past.

Because it is too beautiful, just like Zhuang Zhou's dream of a butterfly, the girl wants to keep it carefully in her heart and work hard for such a vision.

……

"So, now that you've seen through this, how do you think we should deal with it?"

Li wanted to see how much progress the girl in front of him had made.

"The reason why the Emperor and Mother adopted the measure of divide and rule was naturally to maintain the stability of Liyue. However, this problem has not been solved. It has only been temporarily suppressed due to the separation of the population."

Kuxue naturally had some thoughts about this a long time ago.

"The reason is that the limited land can hardly support so many people."

It is impossible for people to live like the immortals and not eat grains. Otherwise, they would not have to spend so much effort to open up the fields and work hard every day.

"We know this, but expansion is not something we can achieve just because we want it."

The Emperor's disciple, True Lord Xueyue Zhuyang, also answered.

"Nowadays, many demons have their own territories. If we rashly open up a new place, our jurisdiction will expand, and the immortals will be exhausted. The emperor will also find it difficult to take care of them in his busy schedule."

The Geo King is indeed very powerful, so powerful that there is no demon god in the land of Liyue who can be his opponent. However, his enemies will not line up one by one to come and get beaten.

In addition, the pollution caused to the land after the death of the demon god will cause subsequent people living on this land to be infected by miasma and suffer from epidemics that are incurable.

"Secondly, if we only satisfy people's needs, I'm afraid it will only foster laziness and make them stop striving for progress. They will just wait for the gods to give them gifts without giving anything in return."

What True Lord Xue Yue Zhu Yang said was very pertinent and not arrogant. As a disciple of the Emperor, he naturally represented his views in a certain sense.

It seemed that True Lord Lishui Dieshan also had the same concern about this. Although True Lord Yixiao Daotian held a different view, he saw that True Lord Liuyun Jiefeng's smile had not faded, but had become even wider.

It seemed that she was sure that her disciple could easily solve these two dilemmas.

This made him even more excited. The immortals were watching, but the Yakshas were not good at this kind of thing, so they did not speak rashly, but just paid attention to the petite half-immortal girl.

“What True Lord Xueyue Zhuyang said makes sense, but Kuxue’s idea is not simply to open up new fields.

Today, people have to work very hard just to maintain the existing cultivated area, and it is not easy to open up new land.

Besides, there is a saying in the mortal world that one must first fertilize the land before planting it. Waiting until the land is ready for cultivation and then for the harvest will waste a lot of manpower and material resources, which is not the best strategy. "

The girl had a faint smile on her face.

"Kuxue's idea is to start with the existing cultivated grains."

"Oh? Cereals... you mean rice?"

The Emperor naturally knew that most of the grains eaten by mortals were rice. No matter what kind of person they were, they could appreciate the full taste of the distinct grains, as the saying goes, "One kind of rice feeds a hundred kinds of people."

"That's right. The rice grown by the Li people can only be harvested once a year, and the rice is small and the grains are not full. So far, it is only enough for the people in Guiliji to make a living, and only a small amount can be sold. Do you know the reason?"

"Well, I have heard from people in Guiliji that even if you take good care of the plants, they can't resist insect pests or overgrowth of weeds. Sometimes the climate changes, and you have to worry about whether they will be sunburned or frozen to death."

Speaking of this, Guizhong is full of emotion. It is not easy for people to take care of the seedlings, and it is the same for the demon god to protect the people.

"So, what if there is a way to help people get two or even three harvests of rice a year?"

"But farming is not something we should consider for mankind. If we are not willing to spend all our efforts to study the matter of survival and just wait for the gods to have mercy on us, what is worth saving?"

Li stared at the girl and spoke bluntly.

"No, all we need is a little patience and a negligible amount of time."

The girl took out a bright green rice seedling from her exterior pot, and next to her was a magnified sparrow creature floating.

"Excuse me, would you mind if I introduce my prototype, Liyue No. 1?"
