Chapter 1176 8 The ambition of the wise king, the shift of contradictions

Hearing Chen Changsheng's words, Cui Tianrui pursed his lips and said.

"If the first two methods don't work, then the only way to allocate resources is to kill people."

"If everyone dies, all troubles will be solved."

"That's true," Chen Changsheng nodded and said, "But the problem is that killing people is a very dangerous path."

"Because you can kill others, and others can also kill you."

"I married into the Cui family, so I am half a member of the Cui family, but in the end, I am only half."

"I don't want to bear this kind of eternal infamy for no reason."

Facing Chen Changsheng's words, Shuiyue thought for a moment and said, "Sir, you mean that the internal conflicts of the Cui family are now very acute."

"It is basically not feasible to just use internal means without paying a huge price."

"To solve this problem, we need external help."

“That’s what you call the transfer of contradictions.”

"clever!"

Chen Changsheng smiled and praised Shuiyue and said, "The clan leader wants me to bring down the Eighth Sage King's lineage so that he can completely take power."

"To be fair, if I really try to do this, it's not impossible for me to succeed."

"But the biggest problem is that the top leaders of the Cui family will not agree to this approach because they want checks and balances."

"When the Cui family was selecting a clan leader, the Eighth Sage King's lineage was at its peak, but in the end, Cui Xingye became the clan leader."

"The intention is obviously obvious. The Cui family leaders do not want the Eighth Sage King's lineage to completely take power."

"After all, the Eighth Wise King had already shown signs of being out of control."

Hearing this, Cui Tianrui was puzzled and asked: "Brother-in-law, why did Third Uncle do this?"

"Don't they think the power they have is not enough?"

"Also, the ancestors of the clan are almost at the top of the group. If they go against the ancestors like this, aren't they asking for trouble?"

Looking at Cui Tianrui's puzzled expression, Chen Changsheng smacked his lips and said.

"You have good character, decent talent, and perseverance and determination in doing things."

"But after all, I am young and inexperienced, so my words are always childish."

"Brother-in-law, why are you calling me childish again? How on earth am I childish?"

Cui Tianrui was somewhat unconvinced by Chen Changsheng's words.

Seeing this, Chen Changsheng said calmly: "Isn't it childish enough to use your own idea of ​​being content with a small fortune to measure your uncle?"

"Your third uncle controlled almost half of the power of the Cui family back then, but no matter how much he controlled, there was always someone above him to control him."

"Or it could decide his life or death with just one word."

"We can put ourselves in their shoes and imagine if you have worked hard for many years, dodged countless attacks, and defeated many opponents."

"Finally you climb to a high position, but in the end you find that there is someone above you who can manipulate you at will."

"Will you be willing?"

"But this is not a reason to go against the ancestor!"

"How could they possibly win a fight with the ancestor, knowing that..."

"If you defeat them, your Third Uncle will be the ancestor!"

Chen Changsheng interrupted Cui Tianrui and left him speechless for a moment.

"I just told you that if you kill your ancestor, you can become the ancestor."

“You may think this is a joke, but I have to tell you, it is the truth.”

"A monk's family is similar to a mortal family, but they are fundamentally different."

"The biggest difference lies in the length of life. The life span of ordinary people is no more than a hundred years, while the life span of monks has not yet reached the limit."

"The Cui family has been in existence for a million years. This number sounds very long."

"But think about it carefully. In a million years, how many generations of ancestors can your Cui family support?"

"Those who can sit on the throne of the ancestor must be among the best in the world in terms of cultivation, needless to say."

"At present, the cultivation world has a rough standard for the lifespan of the Immortal King realm, which is that the ninth-grade Immortal King can live for 90,000 years."

“But in fact, if a ninth-rank immortal king takes some elixirs and uses some other means, it is not a big problem for his life span to exceed 100,000 years.”

"I assume that the average lifespan of the Cui family's ancestors is 100,000 years. A million years can only support the replacement of your Cui family's top management ten times at most."

"Now tell me, what generation of Cui family leaders are there now?"

Facing Chen Changsheng's question, Cui Tianrui pursed his lips and said, "There is no clear definition of the position of the ancestor in the clan."

"But as long as you can enter the ancestral tomb, you will be recognized as the ancestor by everyone."

"According to family history, the ancestral tomb has been opened forty-eight times so far."

"That's right. In a million years, the top management of your Cui family has changed forty-eight times."

"On average, each replacement takes about 20,000 years."

"So from another perspective, those guys hiding in the ancestral tomb are not invincible."

"If they were truly invincible, then the ancestral tomb would not have been opened forty-eight times."

"The reason why you think the ancestor is invincible is, firstly, because you haven't climbed high enough, and secondly, because you have seen too many losers."

“Once you’ve climbed high enough and defeated enough people, you won’t feel that way anymore.”

Hearing this, Cui Tianrui thought for a moment and said, "Brother-in-law, I still can't understand this approach."

"It's okay. I'll give you an example so you can understand."

"Do you know Chen Feng from Danyu?"

"I know. It's the person who follows my brother-in-law."

"Do you think he's strong?"

"Very strong. I've heard rumors about him."

"Very good. Now Chen Feng is recognized as a genius, and you are also an elite of the Cui family."

"If you meet him one day, will you challenge him?"

"of course!"

"Aren't you afraid of failure?"

"Of course I am afraid, but if I don't even have the courage to draw my sword, then I will definitely not give in..."

Cui Tianrui stopped talking halfway, and then looked straight at Chen Changsheng.

Looking at Cui Tianrui's surprised expression, Chen Changsheng grinned.

"It seems that you have understood that fighting for power and practicing are the same. Everyone wants to climb to the top and will not allow others to surpass themselves."

"Although facing those legendary strong men, I can't help but feel a little intimidated."

"But even if you are afraid, you still have to challenge what you should."

"After all, you won't know whether you can win or not until you fight."

"If you win, you are a genius and an ancestor."

"If you lose, you are overestimating your own abilities and are a traitor."

"Now do you understand why your uncle wanted to go against the Cui family's top management?"

Chen Changsheng's words revealed the true side of the world to Cui Tianrui.

At the same time, Cui Tianrui's heart began to beat violently.
