Darkness is Coming - Chapter 750

  The Gobi Desert stretches across the four provinces of Mongolia and stretches across the vast land in northern East Asia. The Jedi formed by deserts and bare rocks occupies a vast space and has been inaccessible for hundreds of years.

   Now there are “little mushrooms” growing in the barren areas where there is only sand and rocks, and it is the residence of the settlers. It has been several months since the founding of the Shengyuan Empire, and the construction works that work day and night without stopping for a moment have not only made the engineering contractors and constructors a lot of money, but also caused more and more civilizations to appear in the desert. trace.

   Looking down from a high altitude, the shape of the building community of Shengyuan Empire is similar to the concentric circles formed by tents around the stone palace at first.

At the center of the ring is the Royal Palace. Compared with the Forbidden City, the Louvre, the Kremlin, Buckingham Palace, and the Potala Palace, these historic predecessors, the Holy Palace is like a gravel in front of jewels and jade, but compared with the surrounding buildings , The Holy Palace is enough to describe it with grandeur and splendor.

The first circle outside the palace is the residence of the Holy Son of the Evolutionary God, the Godmother of the Son, the Cardinals of the Cardinal Corps and the Duke of the Holy Yuan Empire. The walls and floors are all made of Persian sea wave gray marble. The atmosphere is magnificent, like a huge wave in the sea.

The second circle of concentric circles is the residence of the imperial officials. Most of the officials are saints who have undergone several evolutions and have strong combat power. There are also a few humans who believe in saints but have not yet been transformed into saints. They are not ineligible to accept transformation. The ceremony is just that the saints need their management skills and smart minds, and they may not be able to serve the Shengyuan Empire better after the conversion of the saints. Therefore, they will continue to serve the empire as human beings until the emperor allows them.

Of course, even though the subjects of the empire will be discriminated against because of their human status, their salaries and national laws will not be treated differently. As long as they wear court clothes and jade badges that indicate their identity, even the low-level saints with first-class citizenship will meet. They, too, bow their heads in salute.

The third concentric circle is the residence of the first-class citizens. Most of the first-class citizens are low-level saints who have not obtained official status. As saints, they naturally enjoy the status of surpassing human believers in the Shengyuan Empire. If they make special contributions, they will be rewarded. , there will be a step into the body.

  The fourth concentric circle is outside the urban area. It is a gathering place for second-class citizens and third-class citizens. The slums are full of stinky smells. The people who live here are the low-level saints who are guilty and the lower-ranking human beings. Among them, those who are blood related to the human officials among the officials, and those who made contributions to the empire when they entered the Shengyuan Empire—such as donating property and donating the remains of relatives—are second-class citizens, and they have the right to enter and leave the main city freely, in order to Better serve the higher status of fellow human beings and serve the empire.

   And the status of third-class citizens is only one line higher than that of slaves, almost equivalent to the pigs raised in captivity in the empire. For them, the ascending channel has been basically closed.

Third-class citizens voluntarily donate their bodies, which may make their children second-class citizens. Second-class citizens who violate the laws of the country will be reduced to third-class citizens, and after meritorious deeds or sufficient contributions, they can leave a trace on the sacred register, and wait until they are transformed. When the quota falls to them, they can accept the transformation ceremony, become a glorious and great saint, and obtain the status of first-class citizens.

It seems that human beings also have the opportunity to climb to the top of the empire, but in fact, although the Shengyuan Empire has just established a country, the class solidification is very serious, because the improvement of strength requires human flesh, and the distribution of human flesh is completely controlled by the Holy Emperor, the gods and religions. In the hands of officials.

   Such a bizarre product can truly become a country – although it is extremely small, not even comparable to a prefecture-level city in China, but the sparrow is small and complete – it is incredible for many sociologists.

   No matter how big the difference in strength is, as long as they are oppressed for a long time, there will naturally be resistance. However, before the flames of resistance were ignited, it was extinguished by the magic tide.

  Thousands of monsters rushed out from the cracks, not only hunting the nomadic tribes of Mongolia, but also attacking the territory of the Shengyuan Empire more than once.

Perhaps in the eyes of the adults in the inner three circles, this is a good thing, because the Mongolian army was unable to protect the citizens, which led to a large number of people giving up their Mongolian nationality and seeking the protection of the empire in order to survive. Some people have opened up an upward channel, which is clearly a good thing that is conducive to development.

But in the eyes of human believers with low status, this is a very bad and terrible thing, because the rare is the most valuable, the joining of latecomers does not mean that their status has been improved. On the contrary, the number of third-class citizens has increased sharply. make the status of human beings drop again and again.

   To make matters worse, there are more people and more food consumption. Since the advent of the magic tide, the transportation channels of the empire have been gradually closed to the outside world. It is difficult to replenish the limited stock of food, and the number of mouths to eat is constantly increasing. The consequence of this is that the second-class citizens and the third-class citizens get rewards. With less and less food quotas, sooner or later it will drop to the point of starvation.

  The Lord of the Holy Clan certainly can’t bear to let the humans in the slums starve to death. Who wants to see their own meat pigs use up their fat and fat in the meaningless and worthless daily labor?

So one policy after another was introduced to induce humans in the slums to voluntarily donate their bodies. The empire’s method was very simple. Post a notice to inform everyone that anyone who voluntarily became a chosen person would join the other ninety-nine callers. To be screened, ninety-nine of the glorious ones will die without pain after enjoying three days of good life and donate their remains to the Empire, their relatives will receive a certain amount of additional food quota, and the last remaining one The lucky ones will not only bring back a lot of food, but also have first-class citizenship.

Picking 1 out of 100, what a small probability, this is clearly the use of the empire to murder civilians in a legitimate name, but there is an endless stream of callers, not all of them think they can be the lucky one percent, but some people really He was unable to survive and could not resist, and was willing to give up his life in exchange for three days of good days without worrying about food and clothing, and to make some contributions to his family.

Today, another 100 recruiters gathered in the martial arts field outside the palace under the **** of the black armored guards. All of them looked nervous, and some of them even had weak legs and could not stand firm, because they knew that they were about to face the final judgment. The mortality rate is as high as 99%.

  Humans are one of the animals with the strongest desire to survive. No matter how much courage they muster up when they are called, they will be exhausted in three days, leaving only fear and luck.

   In the chilling silence, the dazzling saint emperor stepped up to the high platform slowly, wearing a purple and gold royal robe, wearing a stone crown, looking down.
