Oh My God! Earthlings are Insane! - Chapter 1923
1923 Greatest Common Denominator
When Meng Chao, who was in the eye of the storm, heard such a ridiculous suggestion for the first time, his first reaction was to laugh.
In his opinion, in the future era where human beings might conquer the universe and travel through the universe, trying to restore the ancient monarchies was no different from trying to win a war with a sword that could cut iron as easily as mud in the modern wars that were bombarded by hot weapons.
However, when this ridiculous suggestion became more and more popular, Broken Star Club, Superstar Company, the alliance of five universities, and other non-governmental organizations, companies, universities, and institutions, as well as quasi-military forces like Battle God Palace, and even many of the Red Dragon Army troops who had made great contributions and made great sacrifices under Meng Chao’s leadership, all of them took out a blood letter signed by ten thousand people. They strongly requested the Survival Committee to grant Meng Chao the title of “Lifetime Consul.” When he learned that he had expanded his authority, Meng Chao could no longer smile.
He was certain that this was a conspiracy by the Holy Light faction.
The goal was to stir up conflict within the Chaos faction, especially within the Dragon City civilization, to create a rift and even ignite a civil war.
!!
However, before Meng Chao could invest his energy and resources into investigating the source of the rumors, the mastermind behind the scenes appeared before him.
Of course, he should have thought of this long ago.
Apart from Lu Siya, who else had the ability to connect with so many people inside and outside the Dragon City civilization in just ten days to half a month and create such a huge commotion?
“What the hell are you doing?”
Meng Chao was exasperated when he faced his wife, who had helped him for decades and had seven children with him.” What era is this? How can I be the emperor?” Aren’t you putting me, and even my entire family, on the fire?”
“What does being an emperor have to do with ‘what year’?”
“As the most powerful human being, an existence beyond the Deity Realm, I have thousands of loyal soldiers under me who are at your beck and call. Who would dare to roast you over a fire?”
“The problem is that I don’t want to be a bullsh*t emperor at all. The wave of opposition that has been raised is definitely not something that I can suppress with pure violence!”
Meng Chao was furious.” If I’m not careful, a civil war will break out in the Chaos faction. The Holy Light faction will be the only one who will benefit in the end!”
“You’re wrong about that.”
Lu Siya continued to explain patiently, “I considered the long-term stability of the Chaos faction, which is why I came to the conclusion that only an imperial system can manage the future of the other world.
” You see, with our successive victories on the battlefield, sooner or later, the Chaos faction will rule the entire Other World.
“There are so many races in the Other World. They have different customs, different levels of civilization, and their beliefs and interests are also very different and even conflict with each other.
” Today, because of the military threat, the Turan Orcs and the northern Chaos tribes can still reluctantly obey the military orders of the Dragon City civilization.
” When we really win, on the one hand, the military threat will be removed. On the other hand, we can’t possibly kill all the races of the Holy Light, nor can we demote the trillions of races of the Holy Light to eternal slavery. In other words, the races of the Holy Light will definitely be integrated into our military, economic, cultural, and political systems in one way or another.
” May I ask, how are you going to manage such a complicated and chaotic world?
“Parliament Republic? Stop joking! The people of Dragon City, who shared the same language and race, fought so fiercely in the Survival Committee in order to manage a small city civilization in Dragon City. They held back, tripped people, dug traps, and deliberately obstructed the other party’s proposal. They only focused on how to protect their seats as representatives and did not pay attention to the long-term benefits of civilization development… Haven’t you seen enough of all kinds of drawbacks and chaos?
“Just think about it. It is an impossible task. In such a world full of diverse and irreconcilable contradictions, the parliament is nothing but a beautiful fantasy. When it is implemented in reality, not only will it not be efficient or fair at all, it will also further intensify the contradictions and create rifts. In the end, the result of our thirty years of war will be nullified, and our civilization will even be plunged into an abyss beyond redemption.”
“But…”
Of course, Meng Chao knew better than Lu Siya that the Survival Committee was definitely not an efficient organization. Most of the time, it had nothing to do with fairness. It was just a competition of who had the louder voice and the stronger fist. However, if the parliament did not work, could the imperial system solve all problems? Could it be that the Turan prcs, the northern Chaos races, the ogres, and the Undead Liches would acknowledge me as the Emperor of Earth?”
“Earth history has already given us the answer to this question.”
Lu Siya calmly said, “In the era of Earth, no matter in the East or West, people didn’t seem to object to an alien race becoming their supreme monarch. As long as the alien race monarch looked wise and powerful, and could bring more benefits to his supporters.
“Back to our question. That’s right. At first glance, it’s not easy for an Earthling who reigns supreme in another world to be recognized by all the natives in the other world.
“However, as the saying goes,’the unafraid don’t know what’s good for them, the only thing they’re afraid of is comparing goods’.
“Let me ask you, do you think that the Human Tribe of Holy Light, who has been utterly defeated and is at the mercy of others, would be more willing to accept a ruler from Turanze, such as ‘Doomsday Demon Wolf’ Kanus, as their emperor, or would you, an Earthling who has no blood feud with the Human Tribe of Holy Light, become their emperor?”
“This…”
Meng Chao was momentarily speechless.
“Same logic…”
Lu Siya smiled. “Do you think that the elves and dwarves, who have been entangled with the northern tribes of Chaos for tens of thousands of years, will accept a lava demon from the Abyss of Eternal Night as their new ruler, or will they accept you, a civilized man who seems to be from a civilized world and has no deep hatred for the elves and dwarves, as their new ruler and protector?
” The same problem applies to the tribes of Chaos in the north. Be it the Undead Liches, the Frost Barbarians, or other northern species of Chaos, they are almost the same in size, strength, and civilization level. No one is willing to be surpassed by the other, much less willingly accept the other’s rule.
” Of course, they’ve long heard of the barbaric and brutal Tulan Beastmen, and they still have lingering fears. It’s impossible for them to accept Doomsday Demon Wolf Kanus as their monarch.
” Under such circumstances, the supreme ruler from Earth has become the greatest common factor that everybody can barely accept. Isn’t it very reasonable?”
