Lu Li believed that absolute power was crucial . To be the emperor or not, it did not matter to him .
He was the Grand Master of the Demon-slaying Hall, which essentially made him the leader of the world . What else would he benefit from bringing the entire world under his control other than obtaining some resources and materials?
Patriarch of Law Enforcement"s white eyebrows was knitted together . Finally, he was determined enough to say what was on his mind, "Lu Li, if it is not entirely necessary, I don"t think you should bring the whole world under your domination . "
"Why is that?" Lu Li asked, dumbfounded .
"Because that will get in the way of human"s compet.i.tion!"
Patriarch of Law Enforcement explained, "The Demon-slaying Hall can rule all the land with no difficulty, but we never interfere in disputes of the lands . At the very least, we will not do so publicly . The reason is that we are worried that we will affect compet.i.tion between humans . "
"Why do you suppose the human race can grow stronger continuously?"
Patriarch of Law Enforcement continued, "That is because humans are selfish and greedy . Everyone wants more, more status, power, reputation, wealth and attractive lovers . Those things trigger humans to compete and motivate humans . What is more, battles and hatred can facilitate the growth of warriors . "
"People have desires, fighting will, hatred and conflicts . That is how we can have so many powerful warriors . Once humans are deprived of enterprising spirit, they will sink into degradation gradually . Emperor of Heaven Reverse had the ability to wipe out the four alien races, but he let them stay alive . He did that to leave some hidden danger and some pressure for humans . We are a race that has laziness in our genes . Death comes from ease and pleasure!"
"If and when you unified the entire world, all the valuable resources would be owned by you . The other families and forces would never be able to compete with you . Those families and forces would lose their motivation to fight . They would be demoralized and even disappear . In the end, the Great Land would have one gigantic and corrupted Lu Family!"
"When you were still around, things might be fine . Once you pa.s.sed away or you ascended to the Divinity, future generations of the Lu Family would only live under your shadows and drown themselves in your glory . Generations by generations, they would degenerate, each generation worse, than the last one . Imagine this . A gigantic Lu Family, a corrupted Lu Family, takes up all the resources of the Great Land . What will happen?"
On hearing this, Lu Li gasped . He heard himself saying, "When that happens, everyone will point an accusing finger at the Lu Family . The Lu Family will be no longer in existence . "
"Right!"
Patriarch of Law Enforcement nodded and said, "You understand it now . You will decide what you want to do . I will not interfere in matters of the Lu Family . You can go back now . Don"t worry, I will take good care of the Demon-slaying Hall . "
Lu Li bid farewell . He went outside and took Lu Renhuang and Jiang Qiling with him and left by Teleportation Formation . They returned to the northern side of the City of Mystic Armor .
As for Leng Wuxin, she stayed at the Demon-slaying Hall to continue her work on the antidote .
As soon as Lu Li arrived, a patriarch of the Lu Family who was guarding the formation dropped to his knee to salute Lu Li . The patriarch looked at Lu Li with admiration . A warrior was sent back to notify the Lu Family of the return of Lu Li .
By the time Lu Li and the others reached the City of Mystic Armor, Lu Zhengyang and Great Grandfather Five were already waiting for them with a crowd following them .
Lu Li gained a complete victory and saved the human race . He had contributed to the supremacy of the Lu Family . He could be greeted by all the major human families, let alone merely the Lu Family .
"Welcome back, future Family Patriarch and Young Master Li . Congratulations!"
The city was surrounded by Lu Family members . Everyone shouted loudly . Lu Li had won for the Lu Family . From now on, Lu Family disciples would enjoy the same glory all across the Great Land .
Looking at the disciples kneeling before him, at their faces which were covered in ardent admiration, Lu Li was filled with mixed feelings .
Once, he was not received by the Lu Family . Many Lu Family disciples cold-shouldered him . But now, they were so enthusiastic . It was such a contrast…
"Lu Li, as your grandpa, I am proud of you!"
Smile blossomed on Lu Zhengyang"s face . He had always been strict with Lu Renhuang and rarely smiled . However, to this outstanding grandson, Lu Zhengyang could not find the heart to be stern . His affection for this grandson was visible in his eyes .
"Grandpa!"
Lu Li bowed and showed respect . He was not condescending just because he was the Grand Master of the Demon-slaying Hall . Lu Renhuang bowed as well . Jiang Qiling greeted Lu Zhengyang in a lovely way . "Grandpa!" She said .
"Ha, ha, ha, let"s go to the Mountain of Mystic Armor where we can talk more!"
Lu Zhengyang took Lu Li"s hands and flew to the Mountain of Mystic Armor . Lu Zhengyang was so proud as if he was afraid that others didn"t know Lu Li was his grandson .
Back at the Mountain of Mystic Armor, they first went to offer sacrifices to ancestors and then paid tribute to Great Grandfather Three and the other deceased at their cenotaph . After that, they went to the main castle .
"Lu Li, I will go back to the City of Delicacy for a while . "
"Yes!"
Lu Li dispatched three Earth Immortal Realm soul slaves to go with her and promised that he would go and pick her up after several days . He also stated that he would formally visit his father-in-law Jiang Wuwo .
In the meantime, Lu Li sent someone to pick up Lu Ling from the Inferno . After all, the Central Plains experienced a great chance . They must come together to discuss how to deal with future situations .
Lu Zhengyang asked about the situation at the Demon-slaying City . Lu Renhuang and Lu Li gave some answers . Patriarchs of the Lu Family were excited, but they were hesitant to express their views .
Lu Zhengyang shared information about the Central Plains . Lu Li did not say much, which made the patriarchs more impatient .
Lu Li gave him a glace, laughing at him inside . Those patriarchs sure were ambitious . Maybe as soon as he gave the orders, the patriarchs would rush out to occupy the territories and even unify the world .
Lu Zhengyang looked at Lu Li . The former"s eyes glowed . He was also full of expectations .
After all, it was the aspiration for every Family Patriarch to expand territories . Every contribution like this would be recorded in family history . If when he was in power, the Lu Family could rule the world and that would be an incredible accomplishment in family history .
Lu Li thought for a while and then pa.s.sed on Patriarch of Law Enforcement"s message . He added, "I don"t think it is necessary to unify the Great Land . After all, it is not appealing to me . The Inferno is the most quality place!"
Lu Zhengyang contemplated the meaning . He had to take Patriarch of Law Enforcement"s view seriously . What was more, Patriarch of Law Enforcement made an excellent point . The Lu Family might soar by unifying the Great Land right now . That being said, it did not seem to be beneficial in the long-term .
When Lu Family became the dictator of the Great Land, the Lu Family disciples would enjoy a status that none could compare to . Everyone would become arrogant and willful underachievers . Lu Family could be powerful . Nevertheless, thousands and thousands of years later, the Lu Family would gradually decay and die .
Patriarchs in the hall listened to Lu Li"s words . The glow in their eyes dimmed down . They had been spending all this time dreaming about becoming the governor of the land, occupying resources . Lu Li had discouraged them .
