Chapter 105: Expressing Opinions on Weapon Development

Jun Wu Xiao left everything to the group of people to handle on their own and then ran to the capital. He sighed:

"Haiz, this matter should also be reported to the current emperor and the high-ranking officials so that they can handle it. A small portion of humans have the mindset of escaping reality and refuse to put in the effort. They only wish for the best things to come to them. But we, those whom they revere as gods, have to constantly strive to obtain the power we currently possess.

Why? I know humans are not inferior, but this portion is also human. Is there a different classification among humans? If so, then these two types might be called strong-spirited and weak-spirited. Perhaps that’s it, but even those with weak spirits are not necessarily fools. In the crowd, I see many who seem very knowledgeable and hold high positions in society. Anyway, thinking too much about it is pointless. This isn’t my business. I should still focus on the matter of weapons first."

He ignored these thoughts and continued on his way. If humanity played foolishly and died, it was none of his concern. He would only try to save those humans worth protecting if calamities like monsters appeared again.

At this moment, Jun Wu Xiao had entered the capital. As he walked towards the palace, he was quite surprised by the castle before him. He remarked:

"Wow, it’s been rebuilt properly. It doesn’t look too bad, more modern than the old castle, though not as grand in scale. After all, the old castle belonged to a great empire and had been built and modified over hundreds of years."

Suddenly, he realized another problem: he didn’t know the way. And with Xia Ni not present, he didn’t know how to find his way using intuition.

This intuition was quite hard to describe, but it was like a mechanism to protect oneself by detecting the presence of powerful entities nearby.

"Haiz, how should I find someone? Well, the emperor’s place should be easy to locate." Jun Wu Xiao said.

He continued searching for the emperor and after a while, he discovered a large meeting room where the emperor and the high-ranking officials were gathered. He cheerfully said:

"Ha ha, excellent. Everyone is here? Saves me the trouble of searching."

He barged straight into the meeting room, catching the guards off guard. Seeing everyone startled, he spoke in a friendly tone:

"Hello, everyone."

"Huh?" some of the high-ranking officials said.

They still remembered this voice. Although it had been many years since they last met, they couldn’t forget this person—no, it should be said, this god.

"What are you doing here? And have you made a breakthrough? You look much younger than before, and your arm has also healed. It’s a bit late, but I still congratulate you." one of the officials said.

"Ha ha, thank you, I have indeed just made a breakthrough. I have something to discuss. I want to ask about the current policies on weapon development." Jun Wu Xiao nodded and said.

By this time, if the emperor and the other officials didn’t realize who Jun Wu Xiao was, they would be fools. The emperor said:

"There are no special policies regarding weapon development. To be precise, there are no policies encouraging weapon development. After all, humanity is not at war now, and there are no internal conflicts."

Jun Wu Xiao was secretly pleased that he had come. He thought:

"If Dao San Qian hadn’t reminded me, Xia Ni and I might have made a huge mistake. Eight years isn’t too long, there’s still time to make changes."

"From now on, implement policies to boost weapon development and research. You must understand that weapons are not for humans to use against each other but as a defense, ensuring human safety. Don’t you remember the events of the past? We didn’t just rely on our own strength but also used a lot of explosives to destroy the monsters.

Humanity played a significant role in that war. You must not underestimate the importance of weapon production. If the enemy attacks again, we will have to use human weapons to help defeat them." he said.

His words made everyone frown. They thought about the benefits and drawbacks of this. After a moment, the emperor nodded and said:

"Alright, but what policies do you think I should implement?"

"We need to encourage free creativity. This time, we are developing weapons with the spirit of protecting humanity. Therefore, I believe we will attract many scientists to participate. I think weapon manufacturing companies should handle this. By the way, which of the three continents has the most resources, and which has the least?" Jun Wu Xiao asked.

Hearing this, the emperor guessed his intention and said:

"The western continent has the most resources, while the southern continent has the least. Do you mean we should organize drills and competitions to evaluate the power of the weapons? The winner will have the right to use the western continent as they wish."

Jun Wu Xiao was quite surprised when the emperor guessed his intentions. He thought to himself:

"The emperor, chosen from countless humans, is indeed extraordinary."

"That’s correct, but it’s missing a bit. The eastern continent will serve as the battleground for real combat. We will divide into factions to fight each other between military organizations combined with weapon companies. This will be serious warfare that could result in deaths. However, there are benefits. Those who occupy parts of the eastern continent can freely use its resources. And we will not interfere." Jun Wu Xiao continued.

Hearing this, everyone was stunned. Wasn’t this encouraging humans to kill each other? The emperor shook his head and said:

"No, that’s unacceptable. Doing so would be no different from supporting humans killing each other."

"Not at all, you misunderstood me. I never told them they had to kill each other. I only want them fight seriously. They can injure each other severely, and as long as one side concedes, everything will be resolved. However, if both sides agree to fight to the death, we should accept. Because this is their choice, it doesn’t affect anyone else, so we should accept it.

Remember, we have never encouraged humans to kill each other, but at the same time, we don’t forbid it on the eastern continent. There, everyone must take responsibility for their actions. If they have the courage to kill, they must also accept that they themselves can be killed." Jun Wu Xiao explained.

Hearing this, the emperor didn’t object but thought it over for a while. After careful consideration, he nodded and said:

"Alright, if they choose to kill, that’s their decision. On the eastern continent, they are free to do so. But we must absolutely prohibit the same thing from happening on the other three continents. However, we should establish some rules. If too many people die, it won’t benefit humanity. We should limit the time they can engage in combat."
