Peerless Divine Doctor

Chapter 1291: Chapter 1291: What Are the Rules?

”Minister, we are currently on our way to the secret base of our special team.”

The team leader didn’t attempt to conceal anything. Although the sudden appearance of this minister bewildered many, if it was Ye Luo, they could accept it.

Actually, hasn’t Huaxia undergone numerous upheavals in these short few months?

Not to mention these operatives, even ordinary people could probably sense the extraordinary developments of the past few months!

It could be said that since the emergence of Corpse King Palace, the whole world descended into chaos; especially for Martial Artists, the pace of everything changed completely, and often they couldn’t even distinguish whether all of this was still reality!

And to many, Ye Luo’s rise seemed like a miracle!

But this miracle was built up gradually, bit by bit.

Ye Luo was sitting in the car, conversing in his mind with Ao Long.

”Senior, I feel that these past few months have been like a dream, so many things, unimaginable before!”

Ao Long was silent for a moment before speaking to Ye Luo, ”Kid, do you feel that recently your life, or maybe your world, has changed too rapidly?”

Ye Luo nodded slightly and thought, ”Yes, the changes in these few months are really too vast. I don’t know when it started, but suddenly, everything has changed!”

”Kid, it’s normal to have such thoughts. In fact, even as an observer, I do find the changes in your world sudden and rapid. But actually, there’s a reason for it. Have you ever thought about that?”

Hearing Ao Long’s question, Ye Luo couldn’t help but fall into contemplation.

Reasons? The convergence of these few months has a reason? Then, what is that reason?

But before Ye Luo could figure it out, Ao Long continued to speak.

”Kid, your world is for ordinary people. Even your so-called Hidden Sects and powerful beings were once contained in constraints. No matter how much they struggled, they could never break out of that circle, which indeed guaranteed the rapid development of your world. What do you think about that?”

Ye Luo nodded again. Indeed, ever since the Hidden Sects reached agreements with the secular world, the world entered a stage of rapid development, and a century’s worth of progress was even more explosive than the entire history of the Human Race since its inception!

With the absence of powerful beings, ordinary people could focus on their own affairs, and without the influence of Cultivation, the people generally devoted their energy to scientific research!

Similarly, members of the Hidden Sects could focus on their Cultivation without much disturbance.

Both could be said to have entered a stage of high-speed development!

This point, Ye Luo had to admit!

”Senior speaks wisely, indeed, with rules in place, many things became much more convenient!”

”Correct, but these rules also represent a massive hidden danger!”

A hidden danger?

Ye Luo was shocked, and then quickly realized!

Indeed, that was a hidden danger.

In the world of ordinary people, because there were no powerful beings, they could safely develop!

But suddenly, if powerful beings appeared, then what?

They would submit, fear, and panic!

The rapid rise of Corpse King Palace was not only because they used Death Qi to control some people, but mainly because this hidden danger was pierced!

Once Corpse King Palace rose to power, wherever they went, ordinary people would either be too scared to resist or even choose to follow them, because ordinary people also yearned for Strength!

The reason why states seldom employed their military forces, and even if they did, rarely won, was fundamentally because these soldiers were also ordinary people. Facing the existence akin to superhumans, they had neither the power nor the will to resist!

And then there’s the Hidden Sect!

The Hidden Sect was constrained and focused on deep Cultivation. Most of its disciples had never set foot in the secular world, or even unaware of its existence!

Without conflict, they could concentrate on Cultivation. But when suddenly faced with attacks, they too would panic!

After all, the principle of ’forget martial arts and perish’ had been proven correct!

At the same time, when Sect forces interacted with the secular world, they were naturally dazzled by its splendor!

Why did the joint forces formed by the Hidden Sect and secular powers collapse so quickly? Actually, it was because of their internal discord!

So, what was the reason behind this discord? Besides the grievances between Sects, could there be no involvement of interests?

Afterward, let’s talk about the strong ones of the Hidden Sect!

The older generation of strong ones had already become accustomed to a comfortable Cultivation life, such as Miao from Immortal Mountain, who Ye Luo had encountered!

Miao could be called a powerful being, right? At the same time, he was also one of Huaxia’s land custodians, bearing the duty to maintain Huaxia’s peace!

But what had he done?

Apart from sending Ye Luo into the Martial Realm, what else?

Nothing, simply watching as if indifferent like a bystander!

Because he had grown used to the peaceful life and the constraints of the rules. In his heart, no matter how chaotic the secular world became, it would eventually calm down, thus there was no need to take action!

So, how many Hidden Sect powerful beings shared similar sentiments?

Perhaps no one could know, for these strong ones had all hidden away, completely focusing on pursuing the Great Dao without caring for anything else!

Rules!

These rules, seemingly maintaining world peace, became the most significant obstruction when a crisis erupted!

Ye Luo didn’t inquire any further from Ao Long, because once he understood this, he knew he had no power to stop it.

The thoughts of a person are the most unpredictable, particularly when one adopts a fixed mindset. To change it is extremely difficult! Ye Luo, now, faced this very situation.

The greater chaos in the world was not merely due to Corpse King Palace; more so, it was due to the hearts of the people!

The greed of the human heart, the fear, the loathing of change – these were the true root causes!

Regrettably, these were exactly what Ye Luo had no way to prevent at all!

Even if Ao Long hadn’t pointed it out, Ye Luo himself would have remained oblivious to this layer of truth!

A frog at the bottom of a well thinks the sky is round because he has never left the well!

Just like the people of Earth nowadays!

Ye Luo had indeed taken a step ahead of others; he had leapt out of the dry well and caught a glimpse of the vastness of the sky outside. But that was all he had time for.
