My Way

Chapter 414: Consumables and Kindness

The temptation brought by interests.

They can often withstand the fear and worry brought about by a crisis.

Just as the famous saying goes: [When the profit reaches 10%, they will be ready to make a move; when the profit reaches 50%, they will take risks; when the profit reaches 100%, they dare to trample on all human laws; when the profit reaches 300%, they dare to risk being hanged.]

When the benefits behind the risks are huge enough.

People often don't mind taking more risks.

This is true even if those risks are extremely deadly and could bring disaster to one's family.

Greed is itself one of the strongest emotions of intelligent creatures.

It is so strong that it is often enough to cover up a living being's instinctive fear of death.

As for eliminating some people's vigilance and sense of responsibility... that is even easier.

at the moment.

For the four countries that surrounded [Wuchen Province], the eight [ferocious beasts in the realm of supernatural powers] were things that brought both crises and benefits.

Faced with the extremely attractive benefits, faced with the benefits that may benefit the entire family, they chose to actively ignore the obvious risks.

after all.

Everything is afraid of comparison, isn't it?
Although the enemy is powerful, the strength of several of their countries should not be underestimated!
First of all.

They have the home advantage.

This is a victory!
Second.

Although they are currently outnumbered by the enemy, reinforcements will arrive soon.

This is the second victory!

then.

Even if he and his men failed, there wouldn't be many casualties among the country's senior officials. It would most likely be that the lower-class civilians would suffer. They weren't living well anyway, so for the benefit of the entire country, it was reasonable to make them live a little harder.

This is triple victory!

then.

Even if they really caused a big trouble, there were other countries that could take the blame. No matter how bad things got, it would be just that. There was always a safety net.

This is the fourth victory!

……

In short.

It's okay to win all the time!!
Right now, it's just some thought.

Ling Wuyuan was already able to roughly understand what the rulers of the White Mist Country and the other three countries were thinking.

The main thing is to win first.

The so-called crisis can be put aside in the face of interests.
Think of their plan.

Ling Wuyuan also looked at the ice mirror that was broadcasting the battlefield situation live.

Looking at the various [Practitioners in the Divine Power Realm] who were being beaten in the picture.

"..."

It's obvious.

Judging from the current situation.

There is a high probability that their plan has failed.

Although I don’t know whether those guys will use the means left here by other countries.

But even now, the cities guarding the four directions have already suffered heavy casualties.

We really have to wait until those eight ferocious beasts whose strength has reached the [Divine Ability Realm] successfully break out of the encirclement and enter the heartland of each country.

Even if we say that the outcome is likely to result in tens of millions of deaths and injuries, that is the most conservative guess.

Think of that possibility.

Ling Wuyuan also shook his head.

He understood that the greed of the rulers of the four countries played a huge role in the way things had turned out.

The civilians of various countries can generally be regarded as the unlucky ones who take the blame for them. They are people who have no power and can only leave their fate to God.

As people who go with the flow, how the common people can live often depends on the ideas of various powerful people.

In this regard, those who unfortunately died, no matter how unjustly they died, could not tell those high and mighty guys about their resentment.

After all, let alone in this world where personal force is supreme.

Even in the world of his previous life.

It is not uncommon for a single order from a senior official to result in countless casualties among the people below. It can even be said that the number of such cases is very large.

The weak can only go with the flow and have no control over their own life and death.

So-called civilization and progress.

It is often difficult to change this.

Weak = consumable.

This is one of the underlying principles of the power pyramid.

This is how modern society is.

The same was true in ancient society.

The worst that can happen is that we can express things more euphemistically or use new adjectives. The fundamental meaning will never change.

Then, Ling Wuyuan quickly stopped paying attention to those weak people who might have great blessings to enjoy. His gaze moved away from the ice mirror and turned to the people around him.

At this time, many people were frowning because of the cruel scene below.

But the most obvious expression on everyone's face was always surprise and shock.

Even though everyone already knew that the [Divine Ability Realm] was very powerful, after seeing with their own eyes the commotion caused by each of the powerful people, everyone was still somewhat shocked.

I have already deeply understood that it is a power that is completely beyond my own scope.

As for the situation below with casualties everywhere?
The biggest feeling in their hearts is emotion and a little bit of pity.

Other than that, there isn't much to feel.

There is no empathy or compassion.

Since the inheritance of [Xueyue Yuntian Pavilion] itself will affect their character to a certain extent, coupled with the influence of the education they received since childhood and the living environment, they are not the type who would care about the life and death of others.

Kindness?

A little, but not much.

Perhaps this is seen as a disadvantage by some people.

But in Ling Wuyuan's view, this is actually some kind of advantage.

Kindness is a relatively expensive thing.

Even if it is Ling Wuyuan.

They both think the other is a bit expensive...

This is especially true when it comes to kindness that works towards strangers.

Therefore, as a bad guy, Wu Yuan felt very satisfied with the indifference of the people around him towards outsiders.
-
Some time passed.

Ling Wuyuan was still confused about the characteristics of the [Divine Ability Realm], and finally couldn't help but ask Yuan Yujun:
"Senior Yuan, what exactly is the so-called magical power?"

"Is it just some kind of move?"

"Magic?"

Hear the questions he asks.

Xi Xianlan and others shifted their attention away from the ice mirror.

Just like Ling Wuyuan.

They are also quite curious about supernatural powers.

So he wanted to take the opportunity to hear how Yuan Yujun would answer Ling Wuyuan's question.

As the person being asked.

After thinking for a moment, Yuan Yujun replied:
"First of all, some magical powers can indeed be understood as special moves, but some magical powers will appear different, especially those innate magical powers with particularly strange effects."

"As for the nature of divine power... this question is a little difficult to explain. Perhaps you can understand it as a power beyond common sense."

"Although the word 'supernormal' here refers to the fact that the power is very strong, the main meaning is definitely not just that. It mainly refers to the fact that magical powers can violate rationality to a certain extent..."
