Chapter 93: Chapter 21: The Dawn of Civilization (1/5)
After the "Divine Apostle" rfolk Spirit personally intervened, the negotiations between the rfolk Race and the Skeletons proceeded surprisingly smoothly.
Especially when the rfolk Race took the initiative to propose an alliance, Gu Sheng felt a sense of being flattered.
However, after understanding the needs of the rfolk Race, Gu Sheng felt that this seed quite reasonable.
Unlike the Skeleton Race sheltered by the Day of Sin,
the rfolk Race faced significant difficulties in reproduction, leading to only a small settlent size after hundreds of years.
This was partly because most rfolk offspring transford into mindless fish with human faces during growth.
But on the other hand, due to the rfolk’s valuable nature, they constantly faced hunting from other species.
Weighing both aspects, forming an alliance with the Skeleton Race naturally beca an inevitable choice.
[But... is it really just for this reason?]
With this doubt in mind, Gu Sheng accepted the alliance proposal from the rfolk Race.
Then, the Skeleton Race and the rfolk Race, entering a honeymoon period, showed amazing potential.
It started with the taming of fish with human faces.
Under Gu Sheng’s leadership, the Skeleton Race quickly found a way to ta these fish, greatly easing the most urgent population issue for the rfolk Race.
Moreover, the most outstanding prophet among the Skeletons, A Li, noticed that these fish with human faces were essentially rfolk lacking wisdom.
If their deficiencies could be systematically addressed, they would likely beco true rfolk.
So what does systematic redy an?
From the womb to the embryo, from diet to education...
The Li Min among the Skeleton Race demonstrated what professionalism ant through their actions.
For the Li Min, who could independently create "artificial life," supplenting spirituality and enhancing soul strength during the embryonic stage was easy as pie.
Once the embryos grew into young ones, the Skeletons didn’t choose to let them roam free like the rfolk Race did.
Starting from basic language, to the popularization of a common script, to daily nutritional supplents...
The Skeletons didn’t overlook any stage of the rfolk’s growth, ensuring as much as possible that they could awaken true wisdom rather than becoming beasts.
After solving the issue of taming fish with human faces,
the second impact the Skeletons brought to the rfolk Race was a massive trade volu.
Dragon Silk and Jue Pearl were ordinary items within the rfolk Race.
However, once these two items circulated within the Skeletons, they rapidly beca novel items favored by many Skeletons.
The splash-resistant, vividly-colored Dragon Silk severely challenged the monotonous aesthetic worldview of the Skeletons.
For the first ti, they realized that apart from white, the world had so many beautiful colors.
To exchange for the precious Dragon Silk, the Skeletons provided the rfolk Race with nurous resources and technical support, ushering them into a true period of racial boom.
Conversely, the ever-bright Jue Pearl held little value for the non-visual-dependent Skeletons.
However, that was only relatively speaking.
So the question arises, is the alliance between the Skeleton Race and the rfolk Race beneficial only on one side?
The answer is naturally no.
For the dominant Skeleton Race, they sought influence over the rfolk Race, not advantages in resources or technology.
In Li Hao’s view, the leader of the Skeleton Race, the extrely cunning Gu Sheng, was consciously making the rfolk Race unable to leave the Skeletons.
Material, energy, technology...
The more the rfolk Race received from the Skeletons, the less they could tolerate reverting to their primitive tribal state.
Especially since, in their naivete, the rfolk Race entrusted the education of their next generation to the Skeletons, ensuring that future rfolk would naturally be close to the Skeletons.
Furthermore, the Skeletons were using similar strategies to divide and dissolve other mbers of the Hundred Races.
In this process, the Dragon Silk and Jue Pearl provided by the rfolk Race beca important "universal currency."
No race could refuse the Dragon Silk and Jue Pearl of the rfolk Race.
These two items were irresistible temptations for mbers of the Hundred Races still in a primitive civilization phase.
In just a few short decades, under Gu Sheng’s leadership, the Skeletons eliminated any opposing voices within the Hundred Races through a strategy of vertical and horizontal alliances.
Lingyu, Nine-tailed, Ya Yan...
As mbers of the Hundred Races successively joined this enormous alliance, Gu Sheng officially beca the leader of the alliance of the Skeleton Race.
[This is a war without gunpowder.]
Witnessing the entire process, Li Hao sighed, realizing once again how he underestimated life in this world.
The individuals rising from their races might be limited in vision, unable to strategize as comprehensively as modern human elites.
Yet in terms of ideals, intelligence, vision, and thods, they are in no way inferior to modern humans.
After all, these individuals truly honed their skills from the bottom, possessing ample practical experience.
As for theory?
That can be summarized through practice, without affecting the final outco at all.
Moreover, the social theories of humans are based on the structures of human society.
The Mountain and Sea Realm has its unique circumstances.
Blindly adopting Earth’s social structures isn’t suitable for the current Skeletons and mbers of the Hundred Races.
The most obvious and fundantal point is the wisdom beings in the Mountain and Sea Realm co from different species without a common ground.
Thus, apart from their kindred, they lack a broader sense of group identity.
Under such circumstances, attempting to create a "unified" social frawork similar to human society is a highly challenging and complex process.
Frankly speaking, the fact that Gu Sheng didn’t choose to annihilate other species like humans did and make the Skeleton Race the only wise race in the Mountain and Sea Realm already surprised Li Hao.
The subsequent series of alliances and actions strengthening the Skeletons’ influence even led Li Hao to wonder if Gu Sheng was a "transmigrator" who ca to the Mountain and Sea Realm.
[Sure enough, being born from the skeleton of the Dragon Race...]
[I bet even among the ancient Dragon Race, it would have been a Wise Man renowned for its ’Wisdom’!]
Li Hao’s gaze swept over Gu Sheng as it traversed mountains and valleys, continuously shuttling between major species, making him wonder for the first ti if the Skeletons had entirely shed the influence of their pre-life.
