Yuanshen: The sea of ​​sand at the beginning, straight to the seat of God

Chapter 20 19 - Planning
Rama was not raised as a leader.

Among the Tanit tribe, many people knew his reputation, but it was a reputation as a scholar rather than a warrior.

When it was time to fight, a normal tribal warrior would obviously not follow his orders.

For most people, it is unreasonable for him to suddenly have a voice in a field that does not belong to him.

The elders have their own reasons, but the matter of killing is related to your own life, you can't really compromise without judgment, right?
This change at the top made some waves, but hardly mattered.

In the night after leaving the camp, Rama experienced three assassinations.

However, in the early morning of the next day, these people were sent back to the elder's camp.

Rama didn't kill any of them, but chose to send them back safely.

This matter simply revealed a truth, he did not lie in terms of force value.

The tribe as a group might have been able to kill Rama if force had to be used, but it was more likely that he would escape unscathed.

And for a tricky prey, once you fail to kill him in one breath, you must always be vigilant and fearful in the subsequent hunting.

So let's do it first.

He killed three elders, but he did not accept the legacy of these elders.

Wealth, slavery, and the power that was vacated, these things have all been filled.

In other words, apart from being threatened, for the living elders, not only did they not suffer losses, but instead they gained additional benefits.

The [Mistress System] is suppressed by the [Nine Elder System], not because people do not want a unique position of authority, but because most elders know that it is impossible for them to become Mistresses.

If the one and complete power is beyond my reach, I would rather divide it into nine incomplete parts.

At least one of these must be mine.

It is complete and unique, but what does it matter to me?

No matter how good something is, if it's not mine, it's meaningless.

No matter how good a talent is, if he can't be used by me, then I can only ask him to die.

History has reproduced this answer countless times. If it is not used by me, it should be killed by me.

What doesn't belong to me is useless no matter how precious it is.

But now it is the same situation, the Ninth Elder has become the Sixth Elder, and their power has been expanded to a certain extent.

That is, bad actions bring them good gains.

Except for Rama, he really deserves to die, but everyone can't find a way to kill him for the time being.

The only thing that surprised the elders during the whole process was Babel's lack of interest.

They all knew that Babel was not content to just become an elder, she had always wanted to be the mistress of the Tanit tribe.

Ordinarily, at this time, she should let go of her hand and snatch it, but she lacks interest and has almost no determination to fight.

If it weren't for her relationship with Rama, the elders had tacitly left her a profit, she might have gained nothing in this turmoil.

Could it be that she and Rama are not in such a simple conflict of interests?

While "eating", the elders guessed about the relationship between Rama and Babel.

"Why are you here?"

Rama was a little puzzled, "Shouldn't you be competing with those elders for something now?"

She has to come out in person.

Because the other elders were all going off in person, it was useless to appoint their own deputy.

They are not equal in power and position. If the deputy is to grab things from someone who is on the same level as his boss, he will definitely not be able to get any good things.

"Power?" Babel's voice was helpless, "The power they are fighting for comes from your killing."

"Yes, I killed three elders."

Rama accepted the debt.

He nodded, "And then? Then because I, who have no rights, killed three elders with rights, so you changed your perception, thinking that power is not important?"

"I have to tell you this, mother, this kind of thinking is wrong." His tone hardly changed, and his smile was as warm as ever.

He is so calm when he kills, and he is so gentle when he speaks reason.

It was very unpleasant, Babel always had the urge to tear the corners of his mouth.

"Power is always, always, always a good thing."

"We fight for it and pursue it, regardless of time and circumstances."

Of course, you can also compromise and give up your power for the sake of the overall situation.

But history does not give these people any preferential treatment. After losing power, their results are not good.

A small number of people have the opportunity to die well, and most people die in depression or simply get sick and pass away.

Babel was silent for a moment, "That's what I thought."

"In my plan, I will gradually clean up all the elders."

"It's too confusing for one power to be used by nine people. Tanit only needs one mistress, not nine elders."

The desert is not Red King's desert.

Strictly speaking, there are three gods in ancient Sumeru.

Red King, Flower God and Dacishu King.

The tree king opened up the rainforest, and the desert belonged to the flower god and the red king.

To this day, there are still two beliefs coexisting in the sea of ​​sand, the flower god and the red king.

Tanit's belief is the god of flowers.

But the Red King is higher than the flower god, because after the death of the flower god, he is still alive, and people can only choose to worship the living god.

"My original plan was like this. After cleaning up all the elders and restoring the position of [Mistress], I will look for [Eternal Oasis]."

Speaking of the oasis, Babel's eyes shone brightly, "It is recorded in the ancient books that it is the place where the flower god sleeps, and I will get the oracle of the flower god there."

"It doesn't matter what he thinks or says, he's just a dead god anyway."

"I will hold the right to interpret all the oracles of the Flower God, and use the divine power to open up a new future for the tribe."

"If we can find the Zhenling technology that supplies water to the entire sand sea in the ancient book, then this story can be even better."

"You are right." Rama affirmed Babel's plan, "This is the best plan."

The cliche answer, Babel knew almost nothing.

She knew the truth of all the issues by relying on a few books and guesswork, and Rama had two grades of resources.

Babel's plan is the optimal solution among the resources she can control.

So Rama sincerely believes that if there is no self, Babel's plan is the best answer.

But she failed, and was bound to fail.

Not only Babel, but also the actions of fools in the sea of ​​sand.

The stone slab that opened the Red King's Mausoleum was in the hands of a scholar at the Holy Order. Until the future sister-in-law arrived in Sumeru, the fools did not grasp this information.

And the body of Lilu Parr, which is related to [Eternal Oasis], will be found with the help of Yingmei in the future.

They didn't have any key mission props. The plan was very good, but failure became inevitable.

"But then? Have you changed your mind now?" Rama asked.
