Chapter 250: Polar Reversal

……

"Your reputation has flipped again!"

Two years had passed since Qian Renxue returned to the Douluo Continent, and Nan Feng had been living a licentious daily life on Sea God Island, with no one coming to disturb him.

"What's wrong?"

On the coast, Nan Feng yawned, sat up, and looked at Ning Rongrong and the others who had just returned from the sea.

"Not long after Qian Renxue went back, she inherited the position of the Angel God, led the Spirit Masters of the Spirit Hall to suppress a large number of rebellions, and then, she..."

"Imitated the holy pillar trials of Sea God Island and created an Angel God trial?" Nan Feng said.

"Mm." Ning Rongrong nodded.

"Soul Beast Spirit Rings are gone, but God-Bestowed Soul Rings have appeared. The appeal of the Angel God has attracted a large number of high-level Spirit Masters who could not obtain Spirit Rings, and then, it returned to the previous state."

"However, Spirit Masters are no longer an endangered species. Those people who were singing your praises before have all turned against you."

"Your temples and statues have all been torn down. They spit on your despicableness and madness, praise the greatness of the Angel God, and say that you did nothing but bring them a pile of trouble, and that it was the Angel God who saved them."

"Anyway... the insults are very dirty."

Nan Feng stretched and lay back down, "I told you all long ago, that bullshit called faith doesn't exist at all."

"You... aren't you angry?" Dugu Yan asked.

The social system in which Spirit Masters exist is based on exploiting the nine hundred and ninety-nine out of a thousand ordinary people to support that one out of a thousand Spirit Masters.

Moreover, this thing called a Spirit Master has basically no use for human society; the vast majority of Spirit Masters just cultivate, fight, and create chaos.

But it is precisely this existence that is of no use to human society that has always controlled the development of human society, which is why humans on the Douluo Continent have remained almost stagnant for tens of thousands of years.

It is precisely because of this ideology of Spirit Master supremacy that everyone wants to become a Spirit Master and also feels that it is only natural for Spirit Masters to exploit them.

The things Nan Feng did indeed bring about no small amount of conflict to the Douluo Continent, but he merely shattered that deformed social system.

He brought hope and a future to the vast majority of people, but now, those people are spitting on him.

"What is there to be angry about?" Nan Feng said, pillowing his head.

"It's not like I don't know what they are like."

There is no such thing as faith; it is all just worship of interests.

Whoever gives them food, they believe in and support; this is the instinct of a living creature, nothing worth mocking.

Whoever is powerful, whoever stands on high, they worship; this is also the instinct of a living creature.

It is precisely because they worship the tall and mighty that people want to become tall and mighty themselves.

It is just that tall and mighty people have too great an influence on the people below.

If tall and mighty people step on the weak, then those who become tall and mighty later will also step on the weak.

If tall and mighty people care for the weak, then those who become tall and mighty later will also care for the weak.

The celebrity effect.

This is also why it is said that public figures must set a good example; what kind of celebrity you are determines what kind of fans you have.

Although this statement is not absolute, it is certainly true for the majority of people.

After the Angel God ascended, her descendants established a system of Spirit Master supremacy on the Douluo Continent, placing themselves on the absolute high ground and treating the people of the world like cattle and horses.

As the largest and strongest slave owners on the Douluo Continent, under their halo, more and more Spirit Masters thought about becoming slave owners just like them.

That is how the Spirit Hall was built.

Just a community of interests.

Spirit Masters unite, use their own powerful force to righteously exploit non-Spirit Masters, and transmit the concept that this is only natural to them. This is true rule.

Pure rule by force is stupid; the most brilliant rule is rule by ideology.

There is no right or wrong to speak of; it just depends on which side you stand on.

"What else?" Nan Feng asked.

"What is the reaction of the Two Great Empires?"

"Of course they are admitting defeat," Ning Rongrong said.

"Now only the Angel God can provide Spirit Rings to Spirit Masters, and Spirit Masters are all beings with powerful individual combat strength, especially high-level Spirit Masters and those large Spirit Master families; even if they don't think for themselves, they have to think for their descendants."

"By joining the Spirit Hall and believing in the Angel God, their descendants can continue to become Spirit Masters and continue to possess powerful force and high status."

"Now the vast majority of Spirit Masters on the Douluo Continent can be considered completely united."

If it weren't for Nan Feng making the Soul Beast Spirit Rings disappear, it would truly have been impossible for Qian Renxue to gain the support of so many Spirit Masters so easily.

Now, there is no Spirit Master who does not support the Angel God, and there is no one who wants to become a Spirit Master who does not support the Angel God.

And Spirit Masters are the group of people in human society who control wealth, power, and strength.

It really is a complete reversal.

After the appearance of the Angel God, Spirit Masters, who were originally shouted at by everyone, have once again become a tall and mighty profession worshipped by everyone.

"Then what do you want to say?" Nan Feng asked.

"Don't tell me you just came over to complain to me about human nature."

"I want to say, are you... just not going to do anything about it?" Ning Rongrong asked.

"You went to such trouble to change the human social system of the Douluo Continent, and now, it has gone back."

"No interest." Nan Feng turned to his side, picked up the drink on the table, and started drinking.

"Since you have seen the reversal of them singing praises yesterday and spitting on them today, you should know what the essence of these things is."

"Progress or regression, does it have any impact?"

"In the end, someone has to be oppressed; some people are infinitely glorious, and some are destined to carry the burden forward."

"These things cannot be changed."

"Because this is not some defect, but their own choice."

"Why are there oppressors? Because everyone wants to become an oppressor."

"Why are there corrupt officials? Because everyone wants to become a corrupt official."

"Those who are oppressed curse the people who oppress them, not because they think this behavior is wrong, but merely because they are being oppressed, and they resent why it is not them who get to oppress others."

"I used to think that if there were a tall person standing on high to guide, everyone would draw close to that tall person, but you have seen what the result is."

"They are cursing, they are repeating the same mistakes, they are beyond saving."

"Morality is fragile."

"So, why bother managing so much?"

"Living one's own life well is enough; me not interfering is the greatest mercy toward them. Otherwise, brother here could just stab Douluo Xing with a spear and blow it up, and taking you all to another world to continue living a debauched daily life wouldn't be impossible."

"As long as no one thinks about helping others, and no one thinks about oppressing others, this society will become very beautiful."

"But people can only manage the former, while simultaneously yearning for the latter." (End of chapter)
