The original method that the extraterrestrial demons came up with was very simple and crude.
That is to use the ability to create illusions to kill humans with low mental abilities. This process they call expelling human consciousness.
Because they discovered that humans with weak bodies have an extremely powerful organ that accommodates consciousness, and that is the human brain.
This super organ, which can be said to be beyond human cognition, can make humans immune to some hallucinations that are not conducive to survival.
The demons didn't know this at first, so instead of benefiting from it for a long time, they allowed humans to take advantage of it.
For a long time afterwards, it became a weapon for a small number of people in the human group.
It was during this period that magic gradually emerged.
It is not that humans suddenly have special functions or learn extraordinary abilities.
Instead, he used his brain to restrain the illusions created by the demons, and eventually captured a large number of demons who attempted to invade and used them.
Human wisdom is infinite. Once a new continent is discovered, all kinds of strange ideas will follow.
Suddenly, various schools appeared in the human world, just like a hundred flowers blooming and a hundred schools of thought contending.
And the reason why this is so, perhaps no one knows, they are using the superpowers brought by the demon into this world.
In other words, during this period, humans relied on the brain, the ultimate weapon, to suppress the devil for a period of time.
For the demons during that period, the human world was no different than a nightmare world.
This situation lasted for thousands of years, until human society progressed again and was promoted to their own civilization level "1", which actually brought new opportunities to the demons.
"Why?"
Li Yi was a little confused. As civilization progresses, shouldn't it be more advanced?
Why did it give the Demon another chance?
This happens unless...
Sure enough, Lightning Aim said again.
"I don't quite understand, but I heard from the elders in the tribe that civilization will always go through different stages from birth to development. In addition, civilization has different forms, and different forms of evolution will have different degrees and directions. , this has led to the reason that many originally relatively powerful civilizations have become weak after successfully advancing, because they have chosen another evolutionary path, and once the evolutionary path of this civilization begins, it is irreversible."
Having said this, "Qiu Jian" showed just the right amount of confusion on his face.
"I don't quite understand what these words mean. I told Qiu Jian back then, and he didn't seem to understand. But I don't know why. After telling him this, he seemed to think about it for a long time."
Li Yi suddenly realized.
He seemed to understand somewhat what happened.
And why Qiu Jian changed so much after getting to know Lightning Cat.
It’s not just as simple as self-enlightenment of a set of peerless skills.
It's because even the Lightning Cat who relayed it couldn't understand these words!
Although these words are easy to understand for Li Yi, and combined with the development trajectory of the world, he can understand them instantly, but for people who lived more than a hundred years ago, it is still very difficult to understand them immediately.
Just like if you were discussing smartphones with someone a hundred years ago, would he understand?
What is the Internet? Why are there little people moving on the palm-sized screen?
Before the progress of civilization reaches a certain level and before human cognition reaches a certain height, it is obvious that incomprehension is the norm.
In other words, if someone can understand these words that are beyond what people of that era can understand, it will not be difficult to understand if he then performs some actions that others cannot understand.
Just like someone who was suspected of being a time traveler in history, that kind of advanced thinking will inevitably be opposed, suppressed, and even completely defeated.
Qiu Jian must have realized something from these words back then, so that he would take a series of incomprehensible actions after that. In order to gain support, he even did not hesitate to give away most of the power in Yuanxing City that he had built. This gave Yuanxing City a feudal system that continues to this day.
In fact, after a little analysis, it can be seen that this enfeoffment system combined with the characteristics of Yuanxing City is very similar to a system that was born in human history and lasted for a long time.
Separation of powers!
Of course, it's just similar.
The separation of powers means that the country's three power organs, legislative, executive and judicial, are independent and check and balance each other to maintain the country's political balance and stability. Under this system, the legislative branch is responsible for enacting laws, the administrative agencies are responsible for enforcing laws, and the judicial agencies are responsible for trying and resolving legal disputes.
Yuanxing City is extremely special in terms of its geographical location and the area it is located in, including its founder, and cannot be distinguished simply by the separation of powers.
It can only be said that Qiu Jian did his best to the extent that he could understand back then.
One family was in charge of the army, but at the same time, the government affairs of the city-state, including military appointments and dismissals, were controlled by another family.
What's even more amazing is that whenever the army is involved, there will definitely be logistical needs, so Qiu Jian selected the Fulai family from the West District as the person in charge to provide logistical support.
In order to avoid any disagreement among the three families, Qiu Jian cleverly divided the trade into three parts. The largest part was controlled by the Fulai family, and the rest was divided between the Yang family, who was in charge of military affairs, and the Ouyang family, who was in charge of government affairs.
In this case, the vested interests restrain each other, but they are indispensable. This is why Yuanxing City is still standing even after it was established for nearly a hundred years, and there is a faint trend of getting stronger.
Even if the Qiu family declines due to some reasons, with the help that has been arranged long ago and the Yusan family is still there, Yuanxing City is unlikely to encounter disaster.
Thinking of this, Li Yi completely understood.
Looking at "Qiu Jian" in front of him, it was like looking at the young man from more than a hundred years ago smiling at him.
Li Yi suddenly felt a little emotional.
Probably even Qiu Jian himself didn't know what his series of arrangements meant.
It's just a pity that he doesn't seem to care much about his descendants. Apart from leaving a copy of the Nine Transformations of the Demon that almost every citizen of Yuanxing City has in hand, he has nothing else.
According to the thinking of the world, these widely circulated versions are obviously an act to deceive others. The real Nine Transformations of the Demon must be in the hands of the descendants of the Qiu family!
Perhaps it was precisely because of this idea that the Qiu family survived a sudden disaster that year, but still "tenaciously" survived. Although the situation was not optimistic, their lives must be worry-free.
Everyone wants to get the real secret book of the Nine Transformations of the Demon, so this time may be the safest for the descendants of the Qiu family.
Although everyone wants it, when everyone covets it, the biggest goal is that others can't get it. Based on this, as time goes by, not only are the descendants of the Qiu family not wiped out in one fell swoop, but they are becoming more and more There are signs of gaining momentum.
Qiu Siyuan's emergence seems to indicate that this is the result of a game between all parties.
So at this time, after the Fulai family had just been "provoked", they spent a lot of energy and financial resources to quell the turmoil.
So for those people hiding behind the scenes, taking this opportunity to make friends with Qiu Siyuan should be an excellent opportunity.
Li Yi couldn't help but smile.
Some of his hazy thoughts at the beginning were almost all confirmed after the lightning sight said this.
If it's not bad as expected.
At this moment, if Qiu Siyuan was still in the small courtyard, it would be very lively, right?
If this is really the case, will there be a bigger surprise if I show up with this lightning sight?
In an instant, Li Yi thought of a plan, and a smile appeared on his lips.
"Hello."
"Um?"
"Do you want to meet Qiu Jian's descendants?"
"Huh? Descendants? What is that?"
"Qiu Jian" blinked, looking confused.
Obviously, he still knew nothing about such time-related matters.
But this is actually a good thing for Li Yi, and he doesn't need too much explanation.
"Just think of him as someone who is related to Qiu Jian and looks very similar to him."
"Really? That'll be fun, I want to go!"
Lightning aim, no, now "Qiu Jian" suddenly became interested.
Someone who looks a lot like you and is related to you?
