Since the Seven Sages of the Open Heaven opened up the universe, the universe has experienced many calamities, and the calamities, to put it bluntly, are super-large-scale wars, and this super-large-scale war is not a family-style war like the Yanhuang Clan and the Heavenly Tiger Empire, but a war that is really premised on destruction. For example, after the opening of the sky, the dragon, phoenix, and the unicorn of the three clans, the original three clans all had more than one trillion clansmen, but after the war, there were only big cats and kittens left in less than five figures. Another example is the Lich War, there are basically no people left between the two Lich clans, and the Lich Clan is still less than one percent of the strength of its heyday. Fortunately, the demon clan has Nuwa Niangniang, a saint, as the backstage, so that the clan will not be wiped out, but it will not be any better. Another example is the Battle of the Gods. Therefore, every time the calamity comes, the number of dead people is measured in trillions. This trillion number refers to the strong with great strength, not ordinary people, as for ordinary people, there is really no way to calculate the number of deaths.

"Whether it's a calamity or an immeasurable calamity, it's just because the universe is already unable to make ends meet. When a race, because of its excessive strength, causes a large increase in population and consumes a large amount of materials, and when the materials cannot be supplied to everyone and allow people to live, the race must wage war, either internal war or external war, but no matter what kind of war, the consequence is bound to be the death of countless people, and the number of people who need to reduce the number of materials by artificially creating deaths. And the calamity is the inevitable product of the development of such a thing. It's just that the scope and scale of the war caused by the catastrophe are much larger and larger. Therefore, it is necessary to avoid the occurrence of quantitative catastrophe. At the end of the day, it is necessary to avoid immeasurable calamities. It is necessary to control the size of the population. Make it within a reasonable range. ”

Empress Morning Star asked, "Zeshan, we all understand what you said that excessive population growth sometimes does cause countless problems, but what does it have to do with the future path you are considering?" "What does it matter? My Yanhuang clan now controls countless populations, and the population base is already here, although, for our current control area. The number of people is far from saturated, on the contrary, we have at least ten times the number of people on the planet that we can't occupy, and we can still accommodate more than fifty times our current population. This is of course a good thing for us, as it will give us plenty of time to think about where we should go forward. And I think that in terms of population, we should control it from the beginning, otherwise it will be too late to think about it later when the population is overpopulated. Of course, that's not the point I'm going to make. What I'm trying to say is: we have to avoid having more people practice. ”

Everyone was shocked, and Lin Zewu couldn't help but ask, "Uncle Zhang." "Our Yanhuang Clan has existed for more than 100 million years, but in the Heavenly Realm, the number of our Yanhuang Clan is only more than 30 billion, what is this for?" Zewu, do you know how many of our current strength is above the sixteenth level?" "I'm afraid there are 15 billion?" Lin Zewu said carefully. After hundreds of years, the strength of the Yanhuang clan has increased much more than before, and the number of elite divisions has tripled, to say the least.

Zhang Zeshan smiled and said: "Yes, it's about 15 billion, but how many years have passed since the revival of our Yanhuang Clan?" "This ......" "Yes, we have only passed more than 1,000 years and less than 2,000 years, but we already have more than 10 billion people (15 billion elite divisions include other races, but not including the Winged Female Clan. Therefore, the number of pure Yanhuang clans is about 13 billion) The strength has reached level 16, and with the merits that our clansmen have accumulated over the years, as well as their qualifications and strength, they basically have no problem at all if they survive the Heavenly Tribulation and become Heavenly Immortals, at least, the number of people who have survived the Heavenly Tribulation has reached more than eighty percent. That is, there are more than 10 billion, do you still think there is no problem in it?"

Everyone was already sweating. Yes, the Yanhuang clan has only had more than 30 billion immortals after 100 million years of development, but now, since its revival, it has been able to develop 10 billion immortals in less than 2,000 years, so what about after that? Even if this proportion decreases in the future, the population base will increase, and at that time, I am afraid that more than 10 billion people will become immortals every 10,000 years, and this is still the lowest estimate. Ten billion years, then, what about hundreds of millions of years?

"The existence above the heavenly immortal level is different from the people in the human world, they will no longer have birth, old age, sickness and death, it can be said that if it is not for other accidents and death, they will never die, what does this mean You should be clear, time, enough to make the heavenly realm full of immortals, if there are no other accidents, at that time, needless to say one heavenly realm, even a hundred heavenly realms can't fit so many immortals, and naturally they can't feed so many immortals, so when the number of immortals grows to a certain extent, the war will begin, which is also to make the calamity come later。 ”

Empress Morning Star couldn't help but ask: "Zeshan, our Yanhuang clan only has more than 30 billion immortals, but I have heard that the Angel God Clan has more than a trillion angels, and they all have immortal-level strength, you are both the Seven Holy Clans of the Open Heavens, why is the number so far apart?" "Hehe, my Yanhuang Clan only has more than 30 billion immortals, but the entire Eastern Immortal Clan is more than this number, plus the immortals of other races, such as the Wu Clan, the Demon Clan, the Shura Clan and other races, the total number is about 40 billion. However, the vast majority of our clansmen are elites who have survived a hundred battles, and each of them is very strong in combat effectiveness, so although our number is not too much, the combat effectiveness of individual soldiers is far beyond that of other god clans, which is also the most proud place of our Yanhuang clan. ”

The combat effectiveness of individual soldiers is very strong, but there is a difference of 300 times in numbers, and the immortals of the Yanhuang Clan have the strength of one enemy and 300 enemies? The conclusion drawn from this inference made Lin Zewu feel a little unacceptable: "Uncle Zhang, we are strong, but judging from our battle with the Shenguang Clan, Qing Zhi lost the battle with one enemy and four enemies, and we are not so strong, right?"

Zhang Zeshan smiled and said: "That's because we can't get home in cultivation, and our Yanhuang clan's cultivation is not very strong in the early stage. Let's be honest. If I am at this level. Against the strong man in the Shenguang Clan, needless to say, with one enemy and four, with one-on-one, I can basically say that I am undefeated, with one enemy and two I will be defeated, and if I am one against three, I will run away, if it is one against four, I am afraid that I will not even have a chance to escape. But. The real strength of my Yanhuang clan started from the Heavenly Immortals, and when you cultivate to the Heavenly Immortals, you will know why we are so powerful. ”

The Yanhuang clan has countless supernatural powers, each of which is an amazingly powerful existence, as long as you learn one, it is enough to run rampant in the universe. It's just that these amazing supernatural powers need a strong foundation to be able to learn and cultivate, like the cultivation of the Yanhuang clan in the human world, which is just to lay the foundation for the future ascension to the heavenly realm, the real strength of the Yanhuang clan is that after reaching the heavenly realm, it becomes an existence above the heavenly immortal, so to speak. A celestial immortal can effortlessly kill the strongest person in the world. There are cultivators in the human world, but they are just scum compared to the heavenly immortals.

Zhang Zeshan smiled and said, "The topic is too far. Let's go back to the previous question. As far as ordinary people are concerned, their number has reached a certain level, and some of them can be reduced through human wars, and we can also curb its growth rate through various strategies, and I believe that under the leadership of my Yanhuang clan, the growth of the population will not grow too fast. However, the number of cultivators is very difficult to control, compared to immortality, any other desire is a small desire, if someone obstructs their path to immortality, it will definitely become their great enemy, so it is definitely not an easy task to control others and prevent them from cultivating immortality. ”

Everyone nodded immediately, this is blocking people's pursuit of the path of immortality, and it is strange not to make a mortal enemy, but in order to avoid the arrival of the calamity, they have to stop it, otherwise, everyone can only die with a piece, and there is no luck. Therefore, even if everyone in the elite class of the Yanhuang clan is a wise and scheming figure, they feel insoluble in the face of this dilemma.

Zhang Zeshan smiled bitterly and said, "So, when I raised this question, the eldest brother and they all felt a headache, but there was no way to solve this problem for the time being. In the face of such a problem, the solution I propose is to survive the fittest, using the cruelest laws of nature to solve it, and there are not many ways to solve it by artificial means. But the eldest brother is very disapproving of this method, after all, this method is too cruel. ”

Survival of the fittest, it is easy to say, but behind it is an endless corpse of bones, since it is impossible to control the scale of the cultivators, they can only select a part of the elite, only this group of elites can continue to walk the path of cultivation, and the other eliminated people, basically lose their lives, and this selection will become more and more cruel as the power of control becomes stronger and stronger, sometimes, in a generation, I am afraid that there may not be one in a thousand, and the other nine hundred and nine hundred and nine people have already been buried in the Yellow Spring. Once the Yanhuang Clan really used this method, it was destined that countless cultivators would fall on the path of cultivation.

Lin Zewu pondered and said: "Uncle Zhang's method is also a way to do it, but it is a little too cruel, and this method may not be a good thing for my Yanhuang clan." Is it possible for us to use a more moderate approach, such as a grading system, where we practitioners pay attention to wealth and wealth? Limit the number of practitioners from the very beginning, and keep the number of practitioners within a certain scale. For example, anyone who has the exercises must strictly guard the exercises and not easily leak them, and every practitioner must strictly control the number of disciples under him, etc., so that he or she should be able to control the scale, and with a reasonable elimination system, I believe it can be controlled. ”

The people of the Sun Empire breathed a sigh of relief, this was indeed much gentler, at least, not so many people would die. Zhang Zeshan smiled and said: "We have also considered this method, but the result is that the eldest brother vetoed it." The eldest brother believes that this kind of hierarchical system is the hotbed that can breed corruption the most, because the interests involved in it are too great, so big that no one can afford the temptation, for example, our Yanhuang clan has the ability to create large planets, and it is easier for cultivators to practice on large planets with high concentration of spiritual energy in heaven and earth, then, there will be countless people who want to immigrate to the big planets, and they will definitely try their best to obtain immigration qualifications. Naturally, there will be countless bribes, and in the face of all kinds of temptations, coercion, etc., I don't believe that those officials in charge will be able to withstand it. Therefore, it is believed that it will not be long before all the officials who run this system will be killed by us on charges of corruption. Therefore, such a gentle approach is not advisable.
