Chapter 1514: Walking on Two Legs
Gu Dongcheng was like a child, shouting that the emperor was naked.
He brought everyone’s attention to the elephant in the room.
Now, no one could ignore the impact that a peerless powerhouse might have on a civilization, whether it was positive or negative.
No one knew better than these mid-level to low-level superhumans how terrifying a peak Heaven Realm or even Deity Realm powerhouse was when he was at full power.
As long as such a Deity Realm warrior was willing, he could completely restrain his vitality magnetic field to the limit and change his appearance and temperament as he wished. He would disappear into the depths of the crowd like a drop of water disappearing into the sea.
Even in the highly industrialized and information-based modern society, which was filled with surveillance cameras, there was almost nothing that could be done to such a peerless powerhouse.
It also meant that this peerless expert could do almost anything he wanted to do. He could neither be stopped nor punished.
All along, the interests of the peerless experts of dragon city and the ordinary citizens had always been the same.
Therefore, there was no problem of stopping or even punishing the peerless experts.
This led many people to never think about what they should do in case the interests of the peerless experts and the interests of the ordinary citizens went their separate ways?
“Many godly state experts already have absolute military power comparable to a Super Army. On top of that, they also have an astonishing wealth that can rival a country. They have absolute financial and personnel power in the super enterprises that are completely under their control.”
Gu Dongcheng continued to tear at the King’s new clothes with the stubbornness of an engineer, “And with their absolute power, they have firmly controlled everything from the crystal ore lode to the monster breeding base. A large number of them are extremely scarce and can not be regenerated. They are related to the future cultivation resources of Dragon City.
“We all know that the cultivation resources that the godly state experts consume every day are originally astronomical.
“And the godly state experts have brothers, children, Disciples, vassals, families, and businesses. Surrounding the godly state experts is an extremely huge interest group.
“This interest group consumes ten to a hundred times more cultivation resources every day than the godly state experts themselves!
“Letting such an interest group control all the cultivation resources is like letting a hungry tiger watch over a flock of sheep. As the tiger gets stronger, there will be fewer and fewer lambs. What’s so strange about that?
“Human nature can’t stand the test.
“We can’t Hang a fish in front of the cat all day and ask the cat to watch it closely. After the fish disappears, we can blame the cat for being greedy and stealing from itself.
“If we want the cat to not eat fish, we shouldn’t have placed the fish within the reach of the cat from the beginning!
“This is why our Azure Alliance has always insisted that we must separate the absolute military power from the absolute financial power. A peerless powerhouse can not own a super company. The martial artist’s rights belong to the martial artist, and the merchant’s rights belong to the merchant.
“At the same time, the right to supervise and use the cultivation resources must also be clearly separated. A ‘Cultivation Resources Supervision Committee’, which is entirely composed of ordinary people, must be established to supervise the daily consumption of crystals and monster materials by the majority of extraordinary people, including the god-level experts.
“This doesn’t mean that we don’t trust the integrity and personality of the peerless experts.
“All the citizens of Dragon City believe from the bottom of their hearts that most of the peerless experts, the superheroes who fought for the life and death of Dragon City in the past decades, are all good people with impeccable integrity.
“In the bloody era, where the wind and rain were unstable and viruses, zombies, monsters, and evil supernatural beings came one after another, the peerless experts who insisted on the righteous path had no choice but to keep their absolute military power, absolute financial resources, and absolute access to resources in their own hands. Only then could they fight to the end against the enemies who threatened the civilization of Dragon City.
“However, we are even clearer that the continuation and development of a modern civilization can not be based on the personality and integrity of the unparalleled experts. We can not naively hope that all the unparalleled experts are good people and that they will always be good people. Even if their descendants inherit their enormous heritage after they die, they will always be good people.
“Only a system of checks and balances that is constantly improved can allow our civilization to stand tall for thousands of years in the dangerous, treacherous, and prey-on-the-strong foreign world!”
Gu Dongcheng’s powerful speech was greeted with cheers and applause.
To be honest, most of the middle-level and low-level extraordinary individuals, and even all the ordinary citizens, did not have much objection to the god-level experts. They were only deeply grateful and worshipped.
For one thing, the divine realm experts were all existences with outstanding military achievements. They had made great contributions to the Dragon City civilization, and every single one of them could withstand the scrutiny of the highest-multiple psionic microscope.
Moreover, the divine realm experts were too far away from the low-level and middle-level extraordinary individuals and ordinary citizens.
The ordinary people did not know what kind of life the divine realm experts were living, so they naturally had nothing to complain about.
However, for those arrogant descendants of wealthy families, the disciples and grand-disciples of godly state experts, or the pig friends and dog friends of their disciples and grand-disciples, those guys who drove luxury cars around the city and showed off all kinds of exciting lives on the internet.., there were too many places to complain about.
“We believe that godly state experts are all good people and will protect Dragon City for the rest of their lives.
“However, no matter how god-level experts ‘break through the limits of their lives’, they will die one day.
“The first generation of god-level experts have just grasped the mysteries of cultivation. Their ability to strengthen their cells with spiritual energy is not stable yet, and they have suffered too many fatal injuries in the fierce battle with the monster civilization. Their lifespan and realms can not be directly proportional to each other. It Won’t be long before they are destined to leave Dragon City, which they have protected for their whole lives.
“Once the godly state experts fall one after another, can we really believe that the descendants of the godly state experts will always be good people, will always protect Dragon City, and will always protect us?
“Take today’s incident in the underground black market as an example.
“Many of the gene reagents that have been stockpiled involve materials for non-renewable wild monsters.
“It’s reasonable to say that god-level powerhouses don’t know anything about the whole thing.
“After all, many god-level powerhouses were seriously injured during the decisive battle with the main brain of the monster. They are still recuperating today.
“However, do the descendants of god-level powerhouses really know nothing about it?
“There are no descendants of god-level powerhouses. If they nod their heads in person, it’s at least tacit approval. Can the so-called ‘big shot of the black market’really get so many gene reagents?”
With such a question in mind, everyone turned to look at Gu Dongcheng.
That’s right. Before the child shouted, everyone knew that the king was not wearing any clothes.
The question was, what should they do after pointing this out?
After that, how should they make the king wear clothes, and what kind of clothes should he wear?
“Of course, it won’t be a matter of a day if we want to establish a system that will allow Dragon City to stand in the foreign world for ten thousand years. However, a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. We must start working hard from today, from this moment on, for our descendants, and for Dragon City’s civilization, which will still be brilliant ten thousand years later!”
Gu Dongcheng waved his fist that was as hard as a war hammer and said resolutely, “And any change needs to be based on strength. Without strength, it’s impossible to change anything with just a three-inch-long tongue!
“That’s why our Azure Alliance insists on pushing forward the national cultivation law.
“The Azure Alliance believes that extraordinary power can not be controlled by a few people.
“In a civilization, the gap between the strong and the weak is constantly widening. A small number of people can go to heaven and earth, summon wind and rain, Move Mountains and overturn seas, and do anything. However, the vast majority of people are still trapped in a weak body of flesh and blood, and can only look up at the former. Sooner or later, problems will arise in such a civilization.
“We must do everything we can to reduce the gap between ordinary people and extraordinary people, reduce the gap between the children of humble families and the children of wealthy families, and reduce the gap between the middle and low-level extraordinary people and peerless experts.
“To do this, we must devote a lot of cultivation resources to the ordinary people, the children of humble families, and the low-level and middle-level extraordinary people.
“First, we must invest in the children.
“The children are the future and hope of Dragon City.
“If even the children can not enjoy equal rights of education and cultivation, if the children of wealthy families with mediocre talent can awaken extraordinary strength under the crazy instillation of Cultivation Resources, and the children of humble families with extraordinary talent are limited by the economic situation and can not reach the heights that they should have reached, what future and Hope Does Dragon City have?
“We hope that all schools and educational institutions in Dragon City, at least at the primary and secondary levels, will provide sufficient cultivation resources and equipment to all students free of charge to ensure that all children can stand on the same starting line. No child will be unable to display all of his or her talent due to economic problems.
“We hope to strengthen the teaching staff of ordinary schools so that the children of humble families can receive the careful guidance of first-rate experts.
“We hope that more affordable martial arts training camps that are certified and funded by the transcendental tower can be set up in society so that the ordinary citizens who have missed the golden cultivation period can train their bodies and protect their homes in their spare time. Even if they are unable to become experts, at the very least, they will not be pulled too far by the experts.
“We hope that the transcendental tower can carry out its duties without any discounts and effectively monitor the flow of cultivation resources. We hope that most of the gene reagents and cultivation equipment can be supplied in sufficient and stable quantities at a reasonable price.
“All in all, we hope that under the protection of the ‘National Cultivation Act’, all the citizens of Dragon City will become stronger.
“There is a slogan called ‘Beyonders are the battle sabers of the human civilization’. Of course, this is a good one.
“But we believe that having a father and mother is better than having one’s own. The most reliable and trustworthy person is always himself.
“Therefore, not only are extraordinary people the Sabers of human civilization, but ordinary people also need to keep practicing to strengthen themselves and become the sabers of human civilization.
“Extraordinary people are one leg of dragon city, while ordinary people are the other leg of Dragon City. Only by training two legs to the same level of strength and fitness, and walking on two legs, can the dragon city civilization stride forward bravely and strive for a greater victory on the road full of thorns and flames
