Douluo: Law of Heaven and Earth

Chapter 1080 Unifying Ideas? No! It's Controlling Thoughts!

"Creating gods".

Davis uttered those two words, "This is the plan devised by that bastard and that good-for-nothing Yu Xiaogang."

"My second brother told me this—"

Since the Star Luo Army suffered a major defeat, Yu Xiaogang, as the Crown Prince's Grand Tutor, has been thinking about the development model of the Red Society and matters related to faith.

True.

Yu Xiaogang did not like the Red Society's ideology, but he still learned some things about the Red Society's ideas and development model.

For example: unifying concepts.

First, at Yu Xiaogang's suggestion, educational reforms were launched throughout the Star Luo Empire. All advanced academies were retained, but they were to be confiscated and used by the royal family. Otherwise, they would be labeled as "traitors" and either be exterminated or expelled from the country.

In other words, the entire political, economic, and ideological systems of Xingluo must revolve around Dai Mubai.

Secondly, corresponding academies and churches were built in every major city, town, and even village of the empire.

All children, regardless of their talent for spiritual cultivation, must attend school; while adults are required to go to church every weekend to learn.

The church was originally the building of the Spirit Hall.

After the Pope of the Spirit Hall officially proclaimed himself emperor and established the Spirit Empire, all the Spirit Halls located in various places were closed.

The Star Luo Empire then transformed these Spirit Hall buildings into the Star Luo Church.

In terms of uniting faith, Yu Xiaogang found that the way the Spirit Hall and the Red Society set up branches in various places was very suitable.

While imparting knowledge to children and adults across the country, it is even more important to instill in them a concept: loyalty.

Loyal to the new emperor of the Star Luo Empire—

The Evil Eyed Saint King!

Dai Mubai!
Loyal to the former Grand Tutor of the Crown Prince, and now the Imperial Tutor—

Golden Holy Dragon!

Yu Xiaogang!
And loyalty to the Star Luo Empire itself!
In addition to "loyalty," another theory must be taught:
Racial superiority!
Yu Xiaogang disliked the Red Society's class system to the extreme. Even though he said things like "there are no useless martial souls, only useless soul masters," he still subconsciously believed that the bloodline of a martial soul was the only way to succeed.

However, he was ultimately influenced by some of the Red Society's ideas, and if he were to further promote blood ties, it would conflict with the aforementioned policies.

Furthermore, dividing the believers within the Star Luo Empire into multiple classes is tantamount to actively sowing the seeds of antagonism between believers of different classes.

How can believers of different ranks still offer their faith with such open and covert struggles?

That's complete nonsense!
Therefore, Yu Xiaogang's theory of racial superiority refers to the fact that the common people of the entire Star Luo Empire, in the process of being taught knowledge, were told:
The Star Luo people are different from everyone else on the Douluo Continent; they are the most beautiful, strongest, most intelligent, kindest, and noblest race!
Only the Star Luo people were created by the great gods themselves!
The people in other places were all descended from monkeys, but they gradually took on human form by stealing the bloodline of the Star Luo people...

"This is ridiculous!"

Ning Rongrong interrupted Davis's description, dumbfounded, "Does anyone really believe that?"

“There are quite a few people who would believe it.” Although it was nonsense, Zhou Qing knew very well that most of the people in the Star Luo Empire were not much different from those in the Heaven Dou Empire; they didn’t know many characters.

The common people aren't stupid, but they couldn't resist the Star Luo Empire's series of policies. The benefits of reading and literacy were truly being realized by the common people.

Shrewdness is one of the simple and honest qualities of ordinary people.

But they are also short-sighted.

How can ordinary people who are only trying to survive withstand the "sugar-coated bullets"?
Naturally, they regarded Dai Mubai as a "true god descended to earth".

"Yes, quite a few people believe it."

Davis sighed. "When I first heard this from my second brother, I thought that bastard had lost his mind, but after this escape, I realized how stupid I was—"

It turns out that the vast majority of ordinary people on the mainland are the ones who have lost their minds!

And the nobles, soul master families, and sects of the Star Luo Empire sometimes have no choice but to actively brainwash them…

At Yu Xiaogang's suggestion, Dai Mubai also set up a bulletin board in every place within the Star Luo Empire, following the model of the Red Society, and posted everything that happened within the empire on it, in order to increase the residents' sense of belonging to the Star Luo Empire.

Of course, we cannot be as objective and realistic as the Red Society. In fact, at Yu Xiaogang's suggestion, we only spread good things, and even if there are no good things, we create good things to spread.

Then, the history of the Star Luo Empire and the entire continent was rewritten, saying that the Douluo Continent was originally ruled by the Star Luo Empire, and that the Heaven Dou, the Spirit Hall, and others were originally part of the Star Luo Empire, but were only separated by the Evil Eye Saint King and eventually fought against the Star Luo Empire... All the people of the Star Luo Empire have an obligation to fight against the traitors for the empire in the future!

It can be said that the entire history of the Star Luo Empire is already brilliant and magnificent!
As for why the newly compiled history does not include the fact that the Crimson Society was once part of the Star Luo Empire—

It can only be said that, due to the spread of Zhou Qing and others' reputation, even within the Star Luo Empire, many townspeople know that the Crimson Society is a new force established in the last ten years.

The fabricated history of Xingluo can be half true and half false, but it cannot be too far-fetched... If the Red Society is also included, at least half of the Xingluo people of this era would not believe it.

In this way, a glorious, sacred and promising nation can be created, and large-scale social events that promote the birth of commoners can be held regularly, such as bonfire parties. A festival can be set up every month for the whole nation to revel in, so as to create the impression that the Xingluo people are the happiest race!

As for the Antonio Province and Dragon Flame Province lost by the Star Luo Empire, they were consistently downplayed...

Subsequently, every so often, Dai Mubai would summon the Soul Master Legion to conduct drills in major cities, leaving a deep impression on all the people of the Star Luo Army and instilling this concept in their hearts.

"...This is the policy that Dai Mubai and Yu Xiaogang came up with together." Davis gritted his teeth. "Their actions terrify me!"

I am no longer a prince of the Star Luo Empire, and by rights I should not meddle in other people's business. But I was once the eldest prince of the Star Luo Empire, and I cannot stand by and watch him destroy the Star Luo Empire! Destroy the people of the Star Luo Empire!
They are imitating the Red Society...

But it gave me a strange feeling. Unlike the people under the Red Society's rule, whose eyes revealed anticipation and longing for life, the residents of the Star Luo Empire, though their eyes also burned with a passion for life, gave me a sense of déjà vu, as if they wanted to burn everything to ashes!

It's normal for you to feel fear.

Zhou Qing understood the essence of Dai Mubai and Yu Xiaogang's series of actions: "Given time, they will be able to do things that even gods cannot do—"

"What?" Dai Mubai asked.

"Control your mind."
