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

Chapter 288 286-Lawful Evil

Fa Lushan looked suspicious, "Based on my understanding of the Order Academy, the person who deserves them to reach the point you mentioned should be someone like you."

"Has undeniable talent for research, but in a very strange and inhumane field."

"It can be seen that you have been accumulating this problem for a long time." Rama was indifferent to this weak accusation, "But what you said is correct. His research is indeed inhumane."

If Dotore's research can be considered humane, then there aren't many that are inhumane.

Of course, the same is true of Rama's studies.

He went one step further than Dotore and selectively selected the materials to be tested, ensuring that most of the materials deserved their punishment.

But this actually does not change the core issue.

Using humans to conduct experiments, no matter what the reason, cannot actually change the core position.

The Sumeru scholars who participated in Rama's experiment were not without unnecessary words, but they were very sensible and did not want to quarrel with a great sage like Rama.

Moreover, the prospect of the experiment is tangible—not the prospect of the experiment itself.

In the early days, no one was optimistic about Rama's research. If it were a simple matter for a mortal to become a god, Azar's approach would not be so surprising.

In a world ruled by theocracy, they completed a rebellion that pushed mortals to theocracy.

This is different from Kanria. Kanria has never been ruled by the gods. Although the power they drive also belongs to a special power that is no different from the gods. People will always take what they don’t understand. Things are brought to the altar of God.

There may be a difference in the level of power between the power from outside the world driven by Kanria and the elemental power that the people of the Seven Kingdoms abide by, but there is essentially no difference between the people who receive the power.

They are all seeking things from the outside, but Camria has never accepted the rule of the god of Teyvat, and has accepted the rules of another "outer god". The people of Teyvat seek rule from the gods designated by Teyvat, accept the rules of the gods, and obey the power of the gods.

The Six Sages chose to betray the gods after receiving a long period of theocratic education, and their success rate was even higher than that of Kanreia.

As scholars, they profoundly revealed a simple and intuitive truth - God is God because of His power, not because of any difference between Him and humans.

In history, this move is also a feat that can be compared with Cheng Ji's street assassin.

The latter also reveals the nature of imperial power. He who has strong soldiers and horses can be called the emperor.

In addition, bloodline, destiny, etc. are all false. Only soldiers and horses are the core of the emperor.

The assassin emperor kicked over the sanctity of imperial power that had been painstakingly cultivated by successive emperors for countless years, resulting in a long period of chaos. It was not until his successors regained the majesty of monarchy that the troubled times came to a complete end.

The actions of the Six Sages and the others in imprisoning the gods also trampled on the divine power.

It is a pity that their influence is quite limited. After all, no one will publicize this kind of thing. Secondly, monarchy relies on management from generation to generation, and divine power relies on the power of gods.

Gods as weak as Nacida at that time were really rare.

Without such conditions, the seeds planted by the Six Sages' rebellion would only be seeds, with little chance of taking root and sprouting.

After all, currently, the most shameless Salt Demon God of Liyue has the power to easily carry away most of his followers.

If He hadn't wanted death and acquiesced in the betrayal of His followers, none of those people would have survived.

Only Funina, the water goddess from Fontaine next door, was able to defeat Nasida in terms of weakness, overwhelming everyone and taking first place.

But Funina has the government system left by Fukalos, and Navilette, who has no concept of seizing power. Putting aside the psychological burden, Funina's conditions are much better than Nacida's.

After all, King Daci Shu died suddenly and had no time to prepare any help for Nasida.

Xumi's farce ended with Azar and his team's failure. The most interesting part of this was that Azar also had his own plan to create gods.

Similar to Rama, at some point he suddenly realized the powerlessness of mortals, then saw the power of gods, and then chose to create gods.

In the history of Sumeru, the Great Kind Tree King spreads wisdom, and it is this kind of god that the sages need.

It doesn’t have to be the Great Kind Tree King, but it must be a god who is willing and able to spread wisdom.

But Azar rarely allowed Sumeru scholars to get involved in their god-making plans, and his selection of personnel was also kept secret. Many people did not know that he was concerned about the country's plans.

Rama chose to invite talented scholars in batches within the scope of the Order. Although there was some cover-up, the institute was essentially no different from a sieve.

Even without making any distinction, Rama was convinced that there must be many local scholars from Sumeru who had "studied" during the winter season in the institute. The fools were interested in Rama's research, and in addition to providing materials, they also gave The help of other scholars in research is really worthy of Rama's gratitude.

Leaving aside these foreign local scholars, more local scholars are also not optimistic about Rama's research.

After all, Azar used special props like the Heart of God to create gods based on the creations of gods. However, Rama's experiment was almost made from scratch, and there are many people who are not optimistic about it.

But the key point is that the experiment itself does not have to be optimistic, but the research vigorously promoted by the great sage is worthy of optimism.

The key to the matter also has a lot to do with the person who spoke about it. Rama's power in Sumeru was seen by everyone in Sumeru.

Although he is the great sage, Rama is actually the only sage, and the remaining sages can only discuss and make some decisions when he does not want to make decisions.

Among the groups of sages of all ages, there is no one with the status of Rama.

There are winners and losers among the representatives of the schools, so the Great Sage moves back and forth between the six major colleges and is not always held by a certain college. But the school itself will not win or lose. It is difficult to say whether the knowledge itself is right or wrong, but in a struggle that is not allowed to see blood, it is almost impossible for a certain school to admit defeat.

Debates over ideas rarely end in the form of right or wrong. Those who are usually responsible for the ending are life and death.

And Rama unified the six major schools and made all the schools succumb to his own principles, even though he was not the inheritor of any school at all.

Under such circumstances, Sumeru scholars are actually very willing to devote themselves to the study of Rama.

But as the research continued, they soon discovered that Rama was playing for real.

This butcher who rose to power by virtue of his strength turned out to be an outstanding scholar, even better than all of them.

This originally absurd research actually unknowingly revealed real hope—Rama was really creating gods.

Some people who criticized the research quickly chose to remain silent altogether.

They still believe that this kind of research is unjust, and human experiments have basically nothing to do with justice, but they also believe that this is the right behavior.

Compared with minor issues such as violations of ethics and morals, the benefits that research results can bring can be seen by everyone at a glance. Even if the research is not successful, the by-products alone are enough to make most people excited.

The research by-products promoted within these laboratories are still far from the final results, but excellent scholars are usually also excellent speakers, and they need to use this ability to make everyone willingly pay for their research in exchange for more Many people support me, which in turn facilitates my research.

Just like in the legendary mission of the Xumi character, there are not many stubborn scholars anymore. Most of the scholars are smooth and real, making players feel that their reactions are really normal.

Not because of ideals, not because of the future, and not caring about letting a few people die. This research is good for me, so I just want to do it.

Fa Lushan happens to be an exception.

"There are many people who have doubts and dissatisfaction, but you are the only one who questioned me face to face." Rama folded his hands and sat in front of the chair again. "It is really difficult for me to tell you a truth, because since you asked me My reasoning cannot convince you on this issue."

Fa Lushan pursed her lips.

She actually didn't want to delve into this issue. Although she had some slight doubts and suspicions, there weren't many people who objected, and she didn't necessarily accuse Rama of doing anything wrong.

But the doubt exists and takes root. If you ask it, you will ask it. "They all chose silence. I know this is not because all of them are afraid of your power." Fa Lushan whispered, "Because they see the benefits of research."

"Not only will it bring benefits to myself, but it will also bring benefits to the country of Sumeru."

Rama nodded and motioned for the other person to continue speaking.

He was unusually patient, probably because he thought it wouldn't hurt to take some time.

"But it's not right to use humans as research materials." Fa Lushan lowered her head.

She is a smart scholar, and being eloquent is also her strength, but at this time, she only has this dry reason.

"My good girl." Rama sighed, "That is to say, you know that the advantages of doing this actually outweigh the disadvantages, but you are still rigid... entangled in the disadvantages."

“It’s not that you don’t see the benefits, you just see more of the disadvantages.”

This is worse than just seeing the bad.

The latter can be tempted and taught, while the former simply cannot pass the threshold of oneself.

To say that you are rigid means that the other person's pattern is very small. In fact, kindness rarely becomes a bad thing.

"Okay, okay, the advantages outweighing the disadvantages really cannot be the reason to do this, because interests are obviously not the core logic to solve all the problems in this world." Rama sighed, "Before this question, you may have also understood , most of the materials we selected have complete evidence of guilt, ensuring that they are enough to be sentenced to death?"

"Yes." Fa Lushan nodded, "According to Xumi's law, they should also be sentenced to death."

"But I believe it's impossible for all of these people to die."

"If you want to talk about law, this matter will be difficult to handle." Rama scratched his cheek, "Look, as the great sage of Sumeru... Of course, everyone knows that my position is unreasonable. , I won this position purely by virtue of victory in the war, so my position is not in line with you Xumi people."

"It's us." Fa Lushan emphasized.

"It's you," Rama said. "You know, the desert people are not part of the Sumeru people."

He did not wait for the unnecessary change in Fa Lushan's expression and said to himself: "But I want to rule this country. The reason why I use weapons is not to destroy this country, but to make this country revolve around my will. This in turn helps my research.”

"I need a whole country, and even more power, as supporters, so that I can support this research."

Fa Lushan nodded silently.

Of course, research requires investors. Scholars with wealth will invest their own money. Those with little wealth can submit their research to the Imperial Academy and seek support from the Imperial Academy. Even if it is not possible, they must learn to find investors on their own.

Without Mora, any research would be in vain.

Rama's research does require a lot of resources to support it.

"Ruling, ruling requires a complete chain of logic and order." Rama said softly, as if he was tracing a picture, "I need to let everyone know that they can live and achieve good results by obeying my rule. This way Only then will they choose to accept my logic.”

"I want to paint a cake for them and show them the edge of the sword at the same time, so that they can fully accept the truth that obeying my rule is a better choice for themselves than disobeying my rule, and then they will consider surrendering."

"You can't do it by violence alone. Violence is only the last weapon. The key to rule is to draw a cake."

He smiled and said: "I can't even let this pie be made, but I need to convince everyone that this pie really exists."

This is the beginning of a dynasty. Normal founders are smart and capable people. They often know how to give hope to the people. Unfortunately, throughout the feudal dynasty, no dynasty has ever been able to make the cakes that were painted for the people in the early days. .

It is not surprising that the cake was made to the end, maybe it was made but was robbed, or maybe it was never made at all, and it was painted from beginning to end.

But that's the order.

A stable order can provide more efficient output. What Rama needs is a base for his experiments, rather than a chaotic and bloody place, so he followed most of the rules of the Order and made an alliance with Nasida. A scene made the rain forest people believe that the gods are still there and are still protecting them; it made the desert people believe that the gods are still there, so they cannot act arbitrarily and must abide by new rules.

"But when it comes to order and rules, we must admit that they cannot accept exceptions and special cases. Since they are rules, they should be demonstrated in any event and be observed by everyone."

Rama pointed at himself, "I also have to abide by the rules of ordinary people, such as killing people to pay for their lives."

He pointed at Fa Lushan again, "Let's take you as another example. You also have to abide by the rules."

"Ordinary people must abide by the rules, and people at the top must also abide by the rules. Only when everyone abides by the rules can this game continue to be played."

"But now the question is, do you really think I followed the rules?" he asked.

Fa Lushan had almost no recollection, "No."

The experimental materials could not all be "dying people" that met the requirements, Fa Lushan was extremely sure.

"If you ask me to use other lives as materials to study the results of research on the human body, the results may not be very good. You are willing to admit this." Rama said calmly.

He did not mention whether it would be too cruel to use other life forms as research material...Although Fa Lushan was kind, she would not put other things on the same level as humans.

Her profession is that of a scholar, not a virgin. If she really was, there would be no need to continue the conversation.

"Yes." Fa Lushan nodded again.

"So we get a simple result. I did something that was against the law, even though I would never let the public know about it."

"And this matter is of great benefit to us and my own career. Considering the great significance of the research, this matter can be regarded as a sacrifice for the future of mankind." Rama said with both hands He said, "Including me, you know, the best material for experiments is myself."

"Yes..." Fa Lushan was a little tired.

So she had no idea of ​​criticizing Rama.

A person has thrown himself into it, and it is meaningless to accuse his experiment of being inhumane.

He is so crazy about himself, what else can he say?

"Okay, so you must think that my next line is about the contrast between sacrifice and benefit?" Rama raised his eyebrows, "Then you are wrong. My next line is that no one will know about this research. ”

The first part of the argument is actually a simple and direct comparison of benefits and costs. This can certainly convince Fa Lushan. Her fatigue is because she actually accepted this truth.

She just doesn't want to accept using people as experimental materials.

So Rama didn't intend to use this to convince her.

Fa Lushan subconsciously noticed something was wrong, but the next moment, traces of Four Seal Grass flashed across her eyes, and then completely dissipated.

Strong sleepiness hit her heart, and in the blink of an eye, she still entered the dreamland.

"You see, these are two questions."

Rama held the girl's waist and looked calm, "I will not use Nasita's ability to deceive you about whether there is something wrong with the experiment."

"But I can't guarantee whether this ability will be applied elsewhere."

"Now, it's being used."

Doing the right thing does not mean it will be accepted. In war, lawful evil people can usually make better choices than lawful good people.

But its correctness has nothing to do with whether it is accepted by others.
