Chapter 1273 The tea is almost cold...

Sun Minjie narrowed his eyes and stared at Shi Aotian for a long time, then spoke word by word:

“‘Living in dire straits’ naturally refers to the exploited lives of the slaves in Palu.”

"Exploitation?" Shi Aotian seemed to be hearing this term for the first time, his eyes full of surprise and curiosity:

“Although the Palu slaves were called slaves, they never seemed to be ‘exploited’, right?”

"They all rely on selling their labor to equally exchange for everything they need for life."

“I will even send people to protect their safety to prevent them from accidentally dying in the surging waves of monsters when the rift erupts.

"How can such a harmonious situation be called 'exploitation'?"

"But they were all forced!" Xu Xiao couldn't help but frowned and said:

"These Palu people were born as slaves and had no chance to change their fate."

"In order to survive, they can only continue to work and labor for you."

“Most of the value produced also goes into your pockets.”

“Isn’t this exploitation?!”

Shi Aotian seemed to have analyzed Xu Xiao's character a long time ago, and he didn't show much surprise when he heard these saintly remarks.

Just replied calmly:

"This is how the world is. No one actually has much choice."

"Xiao Shi dares to ask the Chosen One, if you opened the data panel and awakened your innate ability, you would have obtained a bronze level or lower ability."

"Do you think you still have a chance to become God's Chosen One?"

Xu Xiao was stunned by the question and didn't know how to respond.

Shi Aotian had no intention of waiting, and continued to speak:

"The principle is the same."

"The Palu people are born as Palu slaves because their own strength does not match the status they want at all!"

"Even if I don't treat them as slaves and treat them as equals, when a stronger person comes and replaces me, I will still treat them like pigs, dogs, cattle and horses."

“It may even get worse.”

"If the Palu people had the corresponding strength, wouldn't they still be able to have a higher status?"

"Bullshit, there is no example of the Palu people turning over in this universe!" Sun Minjie was so angry at Shi Aotian's sophistry that he couldn't help but yell at him.

As everyone knows,

Shi Aotian was waiting for him to say this, and immediately replied calmly:

“Isn’t Alisa Bucky a good example?”

Xu Xiao and Sun Minjie's faces changed at the same time.

Shi Aotian continued to speak slowly:

"As far as I know, the Palu catman Alisa Baki possesses the diamond-grade talent ability [Favored by the Goddess of Luck]."

"With such a strong power, her status is no longer restricted. From now on, she will rise rapidly to the top!"

"So it's not that there are no Palu slaves who have risen up, it's just that there are fewer examples."

Xu Xiao and Sun Minjie were silent, not knowing how to respond for a moment.

Shi Aotian was not in a hurry to urge him. He just turned his eyes to the teacup on the table and said calmly:

"The tea is almost cold."

Xu Xiao did not touch the teacup on the table, but lowered his eyes slightly and said softly:

"Alyssa is just a special case."

"If it weren't for Lu Li, she would have been dead by now."

"Same with the other Palu slaves."

“A single example of success does not represent their current situation.”

"Liberation must continue."

"But what exactly does the Chosen One want to liberate them from?" Shi Aotian removed most of his pretended respect and his words became sharp:

"You are the chosen one of God. Before you freed these slaves of Palu, did you ask for their opinions?"

"Or do you simply want to achieve the status of a god?"

As soon as Shi Aotian finished his last sentence, Sun Minjie beside him raised his hand and slammed the table.

The huge force poured in, causing the hard stone table to burst into pieces!

"Shi Aotian, I think you are really arrogant. You actually dare to question the Chosen One?"

"I'm telling you, today we will be liberated by the planet Palu!"

"Don't be angry, Your Majesty. Xiao Shi just has some doubts and wants to get things clear." Shi Aotian slowly stood up and unhurriedly brushed off the gravel on his body.

Then he bowed slightly to Sun Minjie and Xu Xiao, as if to apologize:

"If the Chosen One is unwilling to answer, or is too disdainful to answer, then I, Xiaoshi, have never asked."

"If you two want to take action, you can do it now. Whether it is to liberate the Palu star belt or something else, it is nothing more than a form of the strong wielding a sword against the weak."

"What the hell are you doing here being sarcastic?" Sun Minjie was so angry that his face turned red. He rolled up his sleeves and was about to go up and teach Shi Aotian a lesson.

But before he could take a step, Xu Xiao reached out and grabbed him.

The woman said softly:

"He has a point."

"If you intervene blindly without understanding the situation, then the so-called 'liberation' is really no different from 'invasion'."

"What else do we need to figure out?" Sun Minjie looked at Xu Xiao in disbelief. He seriously suspected that the other party had been controlled by Shi Aotian through some secret means and started talking nonsense.

"Find out whether the people of the Palu Belt need external intervention to bring them liberation."

"This..." Sun Minjie was almost choked by the woman.

"Do we need to figure this out? It is a fact recognized by the entire universe that the people of Pallu are oppressed and exploited!"

After saying this, Sun Minjie saw that Xu Xiao was indifferent, so he turned to look at Shi Aotian and said viciously:

"Are you trying to stall for time?"

Shi Aotian shrugged, still with that itchy expression on his face:

"Not really."

"Xiao Shi, I'm just genuinely confused."

"There happen to be Palu slaves here. If the Lord of God suspects that Xiaoshi is deliberately causing trouble, he can ask them if they wish to be liberated by external forces."

After saying this, Shi Bashi raised his chin towards the two Palu rabbits waiting beside him:

"Answer truthfully later. Don't lie in the slightest."

"Yes, Master Aotian." The Palu rabbits responded softly and looked at Sun Minjie and Xu Xiao cautiously.

Sun Minjie was about to speak, but this time the woman next to him spoke first:

"Do you want to change your current life?"

“Are there any cases of unfairness, injustice, exploitation, or oppression?”

The two Paloo rabbits looked at each other and shook their heads:

"No."

"We live very well here, and all our treatment is determined by our own strength."

“There is no exploitation and there is no squeezing.”

"How is this possible?!" Sun Minjie shouted, took two steps forward and grabbed the arm of one of the Palu rabbit people and said:

"Were you forced to do this?"
