Chapter 12331
In the secular world, it is uncertain whether divine right or royal right will prevail.
With her, a living deity, presiding over the sand table, all miracles are under her control. This is pure dimensional reduction, naturally placing them in an invincible position.
The key issue is that there are absolutely no means to effectively stop the spread of this kind of grassroots belief.
Overall, the dynasty was in a state of complete defeat, with no power to resist.
If it were someone else, they would most likely choose to confront them head-on in this situation.
In particular, the Jinyiwei, an all-pervasive secret police force, was already established here, which was used to control the people's thoughts and forcefully resist the spread of faith on the other side.
Although the chances of winning are not high, it is still much better than doing nothing and waiting to die.
However, Lin Yi's choice surprised everyone.
The dynasty officially issued a decree recognizing Huo Yujia's status as a living deity, acknowledging the sect she founded, and even proactively bestowing upon her the title of Supreme True Person.
Moreover, the authorities have specifically allocated nearly half of the territory as a special zone for religious sects, where all internal affairs are decided by the sects themselves.
In addition, all citizens of the dynasty, especially religious believers, are free to choose to move into religious special zones.
After a series of actions, the onlookers were completely dumbfounded.
"Is this a direct surrender?"
From any perspective, Lin Yi's actions were tantamount to surrender, and a complete surrender at that.
Logically, the race should end at this point.
However, the game did not end there.
Seeing this, Cao Luoshen became interested: "This guy named Dewey is quite interesting."
Li Tianguo nodded and said, "A head-on confrontation is like throwing an egg against a rock. Now that he's adopted this stance, Huo Yujia can no longer make a move against him."
He was the founding emperor of a nation, and he's already praising you to the skies. If you were to turn against him, would that be something a human being would do?
Even though the followers below have been brainwashed and made stupid, half of the people still stand on the side of the dynasty. If Huo Yujia really dares to take action against the emperor now, she will definitely be remembered for all time.
However, in the logical judgment of the track, what will likely remain is eternal infamy.
Cao Luoshen chuckled, "Her cleverness has backfired. What should have been a quick resolution has now been dragged into a war of attrition, and she can't even extricate herself now."
Seeing this, Li Tianguo said thoughtfully, "Judging from Dewey's attitude, he is preparing to compete with Huo Yujia in terms of governing skills. The two will see who is better at governing the country, and the people will naturally vote with their feet."
"Actually, Huo Yujia still has the advantage."
"After all, she has a longer lifespan. As long as she maintains a roughly equal footing, once the founding emperor on the other side dies, she can simply win without lifting a finger."
"But if the governance gap widens while the other party is still alive, then things will get interesting."
Cao Luoshen clicked his tongue and shook his head: "I don't see any talent in this woman for governing the country."
This is true.
Huo Yujia was able to fight her way up from the bottom, so her qualities in all aspects must be quite good. At the beginning, she was indeed able to keep her composure.
However, as time went on, the differences gradually became apparent.
In general, their governance approaches are quite similar; the real difference lies in the execution.
If the timing isn't right, it's all bark and no bite; all the effort is wasted.
But if the timing isn't right, a good thing can turn into a bad thing; too much of a good thing is bad.
Cao Luoshen and Li Tianguo exchanged a glance, completely expecting this.
"Who exactly is this person? How can he be so shrewd in governing the country?"
Cao Luoshen couldn't resist her curiosity.
Li Tianguo blinked: "I think he can rival Qin Shengjie."
Cao Luoshen deeply agreed, and then became even more puzzled: "Why are there so many more of these extraordinary people lately? Why are they all popping up in such droves? Is something big about to happen?"
Li Tianguo looked completely bewildered.
Given their identities and backgrounds, it's theoretically impossible for them to remain completely unaware of any major events occurring in Tianjun.
But in this situation, even people as perceptive as them have already sensed something unusual.
In fact, at this moment, while the Heavenly Palace is openly sending people to investigate, there are quite a few powerful family experts acting in secret.
After all, the character track is the foundation of the entire Tianjun, and the interests involved behind it are enough to make anyone's blood boil, and no one can sit still.
While the two were talking, Huo Yujia's face had turned ashen.
She had been cautious enough, and had not underestimated her unknown opponent, yet she still ended up in this predicament.
For someone of her stature, this is quite a sorry state.
She never expected that the other party, who appeared so submissive and obedient on the surface, would actually dig such a huge pit for her and bury her in it!
At this point, the order in the sectarian special zone had completely collapsed.
Unfortunately, no matter how profound the doctrines of a sect are, only a very small minority can truly enjoy the benefits of cultivation. The core pursuits of the vast majority are still food, clothing, shelter, and transportation.
The protagonist created by Huo Yujia is incredibly powerful, comparable to a god or immortal.
But ultimately, it's just about individual strength.
With this level of skill, he can kill people, but using it to feed and clothe people is really not his forte.
Humans are ultimately very pragmatic beings.
Once people can't even get enough to eat, rebellion is inevitable, and even the gods can't stop it.
The key point is that there's a stark contrast right there.
Under the official rule of the other dynasty, everyone's life is thriving, while in the religious special zone, people now have to rely on others for help just to barely survive.
Comparing people with others will lead to death, and comparing goods with goods will lead to throwing away.
Those who had abandoned their families and moved to the sectarian special zone were now filled with regret and were trying to find ways to move back under official control.
Even if some converts remain fanatical and stubborn, it's only a matter of time before they waver under the harsh realities of life.
"What a brilliant, open scheme!"
Huo Yujia's face turned ashen.
Every moment, the population of the sectarian special zone under her rule is constantly decreasing, and the key point is that once these people return to official rule, they will never speak a good word about her again.
On the contrary, they would blame all the suffering they themselves had endured on her.
If things continue like this, Huo Yujia will be infamous for eternity, not even waiting until later.
Now that things have come to this, whatever choice Huo Yujia makes is destined to be a mistake.
If she had known this would happen, she should have rejected the idea of setting up a sect-specific zone immediately and used force to overcome all obstacles.
But it's too late to say anything now.
"You think you can win like this?"
Huo Yujia soared into the sky in the sand table, carrying unparalleled power, and parachuted onto the city tower of Kyoto.
