The small but grand banquet fell into silence. At this small banquet, there were 17 people, 16 Quasi-Saints, and a city lord of the Sky City of Shang Country, who also had three peak Quasi-Saints under his command (who were seriously injured and had not recovered yet).
This was definitely the highest-level banquet within a radius of hundreds of millions of miles. But at the moment, the banquet was completely silent. The quasi-saints were sipping the top beverages of the Shang Kingdom, but not a single sound was heard.
Fu Minghui's explanation shocked everyone. However... they were silent. Yes, the conflict between heaven and human law, the conflict between heaven and human law, the conflict between heaven and human law, the conflict between human law and human law, the conflict between heaven ...
Reality is always so harsh. Words like "greed" and "selfishness" are never good words. Even if they sound good, they still have a derogatory meaning.
To these high and mighty quasi-saints, they are radiant, they are glorious, they are the symbol of justice in the world, they are the limit of the immortal way... But they have never thought about, or are unwilling to admit, that one day they will be associated with "greed" and "selfishness".
To be precise, no one would be willing to wear such a hat, let alone a high and mighty, brilliant quasi-saint.
But they can't refute it. Facts are facts.
However, Fu Minghui did not stop there, but continued to speak, but his words changed. Fu Minghui did not talk about greed and other bad habits at length, but changed the angle:
"According to the relevant research of Shang State, the greed of intelligent life is not a big deal. It is just the instinctive needs of life. For plants to grow, their roots must grow deeper and deeper, and their branches and leaves must continue to extend and absorb more sunlight. Isn't this a kind of greed? But why don't plants have problems, but humans do? Will wars break out? Will there be a catastrophe?"
Everyone was silent. Today's topic was a bit shocking and a bit unfamiliar (heartbreaking). No one knew what to say for a moment.
Fu Minghui continued, "In fact, have you ever thought that this world is just a cradle for intelligent life, and we cannot live in the cradle forever. We must go out! If we don't go out, the resources in the cradle will be exhausted one day. Therefore, for resources, we have to fight; for living space, we have to fight. And in the final analysis, it is because we are complacent. There is nothing wrong with greed, and there is nothing wrong with selfishness, but if we are complacent and always go around in circles, we can only keep repeating the helplessness and tragedy of the past."
This time, the Quasi Saints understood. Quasi Saint Bai Zhu thought for a moment and said slowly, "So what do you think? Should we go out? Out of this cradle? Out of this world?"
"Yes!"
"Then what does this have to do with the current construction of Honghu City?"
"Development!" Fu Minghui smiled. "A long time ago, I remembered what His Majesty said, that development is the only way out. Many masters outside of Shang State can't figure out which development path Shang State is taking. In fact, it's very simple. Shang State is taking the path of creation and development! We will build countless Honghu Cities and Longyuan Cities. We will bring new development and hope to this world. Why is Shang State's luck so prosperous? Because we are always developing and progressing, instead of standing still. Every progress of Shang State will promote the progress of the entire heaven. Now there is an opportunity to enjoy the benefits of Shang State's development. We are about to build Honghu City, which will surely be the center of tens of millions of miles in the future. This place is extremely important and needs a quasi-saint to come and take charge. In return, as long as the healthy development of the city can be guaranteed, the quasi-saint guarding here can get one-tenth of the net profit. This net profit includes but is not limited to luck, merit, cultivation resources, etc."
