Faced with my inquiry, Ye Han did not show any surprise. He knew that I would definitely ask this question.
"It's a long story. In fact, the Hall of All Living Beings has its own reasons for doing this. Many times, the Hall of All Living Beings is helpless."
"I would like to hear the details." I said with my arms crossed.
"When I first established the Hall of All Living Beings, there was no such policy of selection from the lower realms. In fact, there was no time to select talents at that time because I was busy fighting every day and had no energy to think about other things."
"After the War of Gods, I burned myself in order to seal the Evil Emperor, and finally escaped into reincarnation. During this period of thousands of years, the Hall of All Living Beings was jointly managed by the Nine Saints. The policy of selecting talents was also initiated during this period."
Hearing this, I felt a little better. At least this bloody policy was not my father's idea.
"In fact, the policy for selecting talents was not so cruel at first, but has gone through many changes."
"At the beginning of the War of Gods, because so many people died, there was almost no threshold for selecting talents. On the contrary, due to the urgent shortage of manpower, the Hall of All Living Beings welcomed people from the lower world to join the holy world. Therefore, in the first thousand years, the number of people in the Holy World increased rapidly."
"Later, as time went by, the Holy World became overcrowded. Although the Nine Saints were also working hard to open up territory, they soon discovered a problem, that is, there is an upper limit to the territory and population they can manage."
"After realizing this, the restrictions on selecting talents began to gradually become stricter. Only those people from the lower world who have ability or potential are qualified to join the holy world. If there are no restrictions, the holy world will sooner or later collapse."
"Since the Holy World is already full, shouldn't we give up on continuing to select talents from the Holy World? Why is it still getting more intense?" I asked.
"Shouldn't you know the answer?" Ye Han smiled.
"Because of the evil spirit?"
"That's right! You don't know something. About a thousand years ago, the evil emperor's seal began to gradually loosen, and the result of the loosening was that the power of the resentful spirit became stronger and stronger. In the past thousand years, the Holy World and the evil emperor have gradually loosened their seals. The temple’s confrontation is always at a disadvantage.”
"After research, the Hall of All Living Beings discovered that in order to fight against the Evil God's Hall, which is getting stronger year by year, it is not enough to rely on people from the Holy World. Therefore, in order to reverse this decline, the Hall of All Living Beings must continue to attract talents from the lower realms."
"So here's the question. Now the Holy World is overcrowded, and you need to select enough talents from the Lower World to reverse the decline. If you were the Nine Saints, what would you do?" Ye Han looked at me and asked.
"Of course it is to select the talents with the most potential and strength." I answered without hesitation, but then I added: "However, if you want to select such talents, you can use softer methods. Why do you have to be so violent? ?”
"As for your issue of selecting talents, the Hall of All Living Beings has argued many times over the past thousand years. One side believes that gentle methods should be adopted, while the other side believes that efficient methods should be adopted."
"The two sides have been arguing for a thousand years, which also led to the Hall of All Living Beings gradually being divided into conservatives and radicals on this issue. The conservatives were later called the soft faction, while the radicals were the rigid faction."
"Initially the soft sect had the upper hand, but as time went by, the Hall of All Living Beings discovered that the results of the soft sect's methods were not ideal, while the hard sect's results were very good. Over time, the hard sect began to dominate."
"The mortality rate of the selection method we just sent is so high that even one out of a hundred can survive. Why is it that the results are better?" I asked confusedly.
"First of all, high mortality is not a problem."
"This universe is so big that you can hardly imagine it. There are countless planets with life in it. Based on the huge base number of trillions, even if it is only one in a hundred, it is still a very impressive figure."
"And compared to quantity, the Hall of All Living Beings actually values quality more."
"It is undeniable that under high pressure, although the mortality rate will be very high, the people who survive after repeated screening are often the best with excellent understanding and potential. They all have the possibility to become super strong. sex."
"History has proven this. Over the past thousand years, many of the pillar-level superpowers in the Holy World came from the lower realm, and 90% of them came from the hands of the Gangsect Ghost Master."
Hearing this, I clenched my fists slightly and said bitterly: "So, in order to achieve the goal of cultivating strong people efficiently, the Hall of All Living Beings decided to sacrifice some people from the lower world to take care of the overall situation. Is that so?"
"You're right." Ye Han nodded.
"It's too cruel..." I sighed, and a complex look flashed across my eyes. As a person who experienced it, I sympathize with the victims, but I can't say that the Hall of All Living Beings is completely wrong, because the Hall of All Living Beings wants to Take the overall situation into consideration.
However, when taking the overall situation into consideration, some people are destined to be sacrificed. This is the price, and we are precisely one of the 'prices' sacrificed.
"This is reality. You have to understand that reality is so cruel and survival is not something that comes easily."
"In the torrent of the times, each of us is being carried forward by destiny. Some people have to use their own efforts to turn the tide and help the building to collapse, but the vast majority of people are just duckweeds in this torrent."
"It's good that you are a kind and upright person, but you have to understand that kindness and uprightness cannot save the world. In the cold universe, sometimes right or wrong does not matter, only survival is important."
"Only by living can you be qualified to talk about right and wrong."
"I say this not to say that what the Hall of All Living Beings is doing is right, but to tell you that if you want to change something, you need to have enough power."
"Without power, everything is just talk!"
"If one day you really have the ability to completely end the plague of resentful spirits, then it won't be too late for you to change everything!"
After listening to Ye Han's words, I suddenly fell into deep thought. He revealed the cruel side of the world to me, which made me understand that many things are not as simple as I thought, and that I was still too naive.
"You're right. Talking about right and wrong, good and evil without power is no different from Our Lady. Our Lady can't save the world." I nodded, looked at Ye Han, and said in a relieved tone: "Dad, Thank you for telling me so much, it made me think about a lot of things.”
"You figured it out so quickly?" Ye Yuyou said unexpectedly.
"It's not that simple. There is still a long way to go, and I still need to slowly understand it myself, but at least now I understand something... If you want to change something, you must have enough power!"
"When I have the ability to deal with the Evil Emperor in the future, I will come and put an end to all the tragedies that have happened in the past ten thousand years!"
