LOL: Summoner of Goddess Jana

Chapter 449 Old Ancestors and Unworthy Descendants

Nasus works efficiently.

Every time his tens of meters tall divine body swung the giant axe, it could shovel tons of sand from the river that had been blocked for thousands of years.

One shovel, two shovels, three shovels.
The excavated sand quickly piled up like a mountain, and the river channel filled with yellow sand was quickly cleared into a gully tens of meters long.

This canal, which was built in the glory days of Shurima, has finally regained some of its original appearance.

The mortals watched this scene in amazement, and watched from the sidelines, not daring to move.

"Everyone, don't stand still." At this moment, Nasus stopped the "hoe", turned around and said to the workers, "We work together."

"Work, work?" Ordinary people couldn't believe it.

As Shurima who grew up listening to the legends of Nasus, they couldn't even imagine that this great ascendant would bow down and work in the fields with mortals.

Even though Nasus had started working on his own, they all suspected that this was some kind of special opening ceremony from ancient Shurima.

"You, you work with us?" the workers asked in surprise and cautiously.

"Yes." Nasus said calmly, "Don't be surprised."

"When I was a general in the Shurima Empire, didn't I lead an army composed of mortals? During the battle, mortals rushed to the front, so wouldn't the Ascendants not leave the battlefield?"

"No. On the battlefield, we live and die together, regardless of each other."

"And what we are facing now is just another war, a war to take human living space from the desert, a war to eliminate drought, hunger and death."

"So, children of Shurima—let's work together to make Shurima great again!"

"Yes!!" After a brief silence, Nasus' words caused cheers in the audience.

People looked at Nasus's hard-working back with admiration, and they were enthusiastic about it.

The construction site quickly turned into a heated battlefield, and everyone was working hard for the same great goal.

"This" only Azir was stunned and speechless.

"Grand Maester Nasus, he, how could he."

What Nasus said was right, the Ascended did not enjoy special privileges on the battlefield, their privilege was to charge ahead of ordinary people, at the front line where the battle was most intense.

but
Could this be confused with digging?

In ancient Shurima, battle is honorable and great, but labor is low and humble.

It is precisely because the ascended ones are at the forefront every time on the battlefield that they should be superior to others, and they should be worshiped and worshiped by mortals with all their strength!

Otherwise, Lao Tzu will be at the forefront during wartime, and I will still be at the forefront in normal times.
What became of the Ascender?The slaves of the common people?
"What a formality!"

It's just ecstasy.

Azir could tell that Nasus was reforming Togu, unknowingly tampering with the imperial spirit of ancient Shurima, optimizing it into a more
"Janna." Yes, this is a version optimized to be closer to Janna's master.

After a month of communicating and getting along with each other, Azir already had a feeling that Nasus was already somewhat different from the Imperial Grand Maester in his impression.

it's good now
The first teacher who taught him etiquette and respect, now took the lead in destroying the sacred laws established by the Ascended Order, and went digging the ground regardless of his status!

Ascender, scratching the ground, is this plausible? !

You are a desert god of death, not a desert excavator!

"." Azir couldn't say anything about Nasus, so he could only criticize Sivir heartbroken: "You are simply poisoned!"

"Poison?" Sivir frowned, and stared back without flinching: "Are you talking about it, why is this 'poisoning'?"

"Janna's theory of thought, our beliefs, what else is wrong?"

In the past month, Azir has also learned less about the thoughts and theories of the leader.

After all, he also wanted to know who the sacred thing was that forced him to bow his head and cooperate, and why Janna, the once heresy little god, turned against her now.

And as soon as he knew
Sure enough, Janna's theory had a huge impact on this old man whose brain was still 3000 years ago.

As a rigid ancient man and a proud emperor, Azir almost instinctively rejected the leader's theory of eliminating exploitation and pursuing equality.

In this regard, he also raised many doubts.

But those questions raised by Azir, Sivir had already raised them when he was studying Janna theory with Taliyah.

Even if there were some questions she didn't see, Nasus raised them later and got ample answers.

With a reference answer in advance, Sivir is of course not afraid to debate with Azir.

And that's exactly what happened:

After a month of studying and "laning", Azir not only failed to persuade his "daughter" to return from the wrong way, but was repeatedly solo-killed by Sivir online, leaving him speechless.

"So, what's wrong with the leader's theory?" Sivir asked bluntly: "Is it bad for the Shurima people, or is it bad for the emperor?"

"You..." Azir choked lightly on this unworthy descendant.

He held back for a long time, then stubbornly accused: "Haven't you noticed, Sivir?"

"The so-called Lord Janna is simply a story that the heretical little god Janna made up to please believers in order to turn herself around!"

"Mortal people have always been short-sighted and ignorant rabble, and they will believe whatever is nice."

"However, ninety-nine percent of the human beings in the world are such ignorant low-level gangsters."

"Janna is focusing on your audience, so she said some beautiful words in the right medicine to earn your power of faith!"

Azir spoke plausibly.

Temples of the Ascended once spread throughout Shurima.They also know the benefits of the power of faith.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have branded Janna as a heretic and forced Janna's followers to convert.

After 3000 years of development, with the thorough development of the northern continent of Valoran and the advancement of agricultural technology year by year, the population of Runeterra has been several times larger than that of the Middle Ages where Azir lived.

This makes collecting the power of faith of mortals a very profitable thing.

However, the other gods are still too arrogant and dull, and their thinking is too backward, and they are still at the stage of extensive missionary work of "the true God is here, whether you believe it or not".

Only Janna caught this once-in-a-thousand-year opportunity.

She didn't even want the dignity of the gods, and came up with a set of Janna theory based on people, which attracted the fanatical followers of those mortals.

As a god, how can you advocate the elimination of exploitation, equality for all, and even go out to serve the public yourself?

In Azir's view, this is simply an introverted evil deed that seriously violates industry rules by doing whatever it takes to please customers!
"Stop." Sivir didn't want to listen anymore.

She glared at Azir impatiently: "Old guy, don't you just want to say that what Janna did was to earn the power of faith?"

"Why?" Sivir laughed and said, "If you can't refute the content, you can only question the motive?"

A gentleman talks about his deeds regardless of his heart, but some people just like to talk about his heart with a gentleman.

This is the usual method of sophistry.

In past discussions with Taliyah and Nasus, she herself has often used this trick unconsciously.

"I" Azir was speechless for a moment.He realized that he had indeed fallen into such a fallacy.

And his doubts are well refuted.

Because even if you talk about deeds and mind, Janna has nothing to criticize.

"Our goddess is a god of faith born the day after tomorrow. Her power comes entirely from faith, not like those innate gods who naturally possess great power."

"If Janna preaches for power, she betrays her faith;"

"And if she betrays her beliefs, she can't have power."

"Your Majesty the Emperor." Sivir raised his chin and asked aggressively, "Don't you think your question is contradictory?"

Azir was speechless.

At this time, Sivir took advantage of the victory and pursued: "You don't allow the Ascended to handle the 'low business', and you don't want to work with ordinary people. Don't you still feel that you are superior and should enjoy privileges?"

It was a matter of course in the old world that the strong prevailed over the weak.

But when Janna came, this set didn't work well.

Because the people are the real powerhouses, and it is their beliefs that condense Janna and create this invincible god——

So even if we think about it according to the law of "the weak eat the strong", the Shurima Empire, which is now weaker than the leader, and Azir, who is weaker than Janna, should accept the rules of the leader.

There is no reason for him to maintain his privileges, to maintain that superior position.

Regarding these principles, in the past month, Azir had already debated with Sivir many times.He always loses.

But at this moment, after thinking about it, Azir found a new objection:
"Ascensionists are superior to others not only because of their strength, but also because of their contributions."

"Without the Ascendants conquering foreign enemies and fighting against the Void, Shurima would never have been an empire, and humanity might have been wiped out by the Void more than 3000 years ago."

"The Ascendant has made such a great contribution, shouldn't he be worshiped by others?"

Azir changed his mind.He didn't talk about the power of the Ascender anymore, after all, he couldn't talk about the Leader now.

He began to talk about credit and contribution.

Ascenders have made far more contributions than mortals, so they deserve to ride on the heads of mortals.

"In terms of protecting the safety of human civilization, Ascenders have indeed made great contributions. But..."

Similar issues have long been discussed within the leaders.

Extraordinary people feel that they have contributed a lot, so they should be superior in all aspects.This question is not the first to be raised by Azir.

To this, Sivir replied unhurriedly: "For the development and progress of the entire human civilization, is the contribution of your ascenders or superhumans really as great as that of mortals?"

"No, the characters you play are just weapons."

"Weapons are of course important. Without weapons, human civilization cannot survive, and if it cannot survive, it cannot talk about development."

"Societal progress and civilization development after surviving are also driven by your 'humanoid weapons'?"

"No—artisans, scholars, writers, painters, musicians, scientists, engineers, thousands of mortals drive civilization forward."

The premise of all history is the production and reproduction of material life.

The largest producers are the creators of history and the promoters of civilization.

Runeterra has its peculiarities.Therefore, Li Wei pointedly pointed out in the article that the destructive power of the superhuman should not be confused with the productivity of the working people.

No matter how powerful the supernatural beings are, it doesn't mean that their contribution to human civilization can far exceed that of mortals.

Not to mention that they can use the excuse of "contribution theory" to ride on top of mortals in a reasonable and legal way.

"But." Azir did not admit defeat.

Despite repeated defeats in the debate, he still found a place to refute.

"You're right, Sivir." Azir first partially approved the words of this unfilial daughter: "The brilliance and brilliance of human civilization cannot do without the contributions of those craftsmen and scholars."

But he added: "But the problem is."

"Most human beings are nothing but ignorant fools. They don't even know how to read, and the work they do is only the most meaningless manual labor, not creative research and invention."

"Aren't those few talented scholars and intellectual elites who really promote the progress of human civilization?"

"What does this have to do with those mud legs that move bricks? What contributions have they made to human civilization, and why should they enjoy equal status with the elite?"

Azir cleverly ignored the fact that the elite was born from the masses, and separated the "elite" from the "mass".

Pulling a faction and fighting a faction immediately relieved a lot of pressure.

He consciously found a loophole in Janna's theory.

"Cut!" Unexpectedly, Sivir was already prepared: "Isn't what you said just left over from Piltover's play?"

Piltover is taking the elite route.

Those Piltover chaebol businessmen who were the rulers cleverly pulled the middle class represented by intellectuals and cultural elites into their ruling base, forming a stable rule over the bottom laborers represented by the Zaun people.

The lords of the plutocrats eat meat, and the middle-class elites can also drink soup.The lowest level of Zaun is responsible for providing blood food, feeding these Picheng people together.

Butts are different, and the elite and the bottom masses naturally form a de facto opposition.

The result of this is that the general public will either be led astray by the crooked intellectual elites, be dazzled by the beautiful appearance of this beacon of civilization, and become loyal fans of the Piltover chaebols and Ziben masters;

Or it is the lack of support and theoretical guidance of cultural elites, and in the end, bloody failures and failures are lost in repeated blind moves.

Even if the resistance is successful by chance, it is nothing more than a complete change of power in the style of gangster fire and an evil dragon.

"But then, the leader came."

"Many of the leaders' cadres are also from elite backgrounds. They don't think they are superior to others, and they don't discriminate against those bottom-level workers who seem ignorant to you."

"Because we know-"

"Civilization is promoted not only by individual geniuses, but also by the working people."

"Nonsense!" Azir retorted, "They don't even know the words, how can they push?"

I only heard Sivir answer unhurriedly: "It's very simple——"

"The development of civilization is based on the overall prosperity and development of society, and the overall prosperity and development of society is the result of the joint efforts of countless people."

For example: throw Victor to Shurima 3000 years ago, can he still build a steam robot?
Of course not.

No matter how smart Victor is, it is impossible for him to dig mines, smelt iron, burn coal to generate electricity, and do everything by himself.

Everywhere is like a mountain, even he, a great scientist, doesn't know where to look for minerals and how to develop and excavate them.
Without the social foundation of industrial civilization, a great scientist like Victor would never have been born.

"You..." Azir retorted instinctively, "You are making unreasonable words."

"Is it the parts provided by the mediocre, or the mind of the genius? How can this be generalized?"

"You are the one who secretly changed the concept!" Sivir confronted.

"When we say that the progress of civilization is inseparable from the contributions of the masses, we do not mean to deny the leading role of heroes, but to emphasize that we must create a better society, so that more people have the opportunity to become elites, use their genius minds, create greater achievement."

"We say that the progress of civilization is driven by genius, and we are not trying to myth the so-called genius and deny the common people who create a stable and prosperous society. Similarly, we are only emphasizing that we need to create a society that respects intellectuals and protects and develops science. A good social environment for ideas and creative outcomes.

Some people think that since the leader is an organization of the general public, it should not mention the contribution of individual geniuses, and let those intellectual elites humiliate and behave in a humble way in front of the common people, so as to completely "turn over" the working people.

this is not right.

Similarly, some people feel that the elite should be superior to the general public and enjoy privileges if they have played a leading role.

This is also wrong.

The leaders are not diodes, black and white, left or right.

Leaders are dialectical.

Seeing only the genius and ignoring the masses, and only seeing the masses but ignoring the genius, are not the correct answers for leaders.

The elite and the masses are never separated, but integrated.The elite lead the masses, but they are also born from the masses and depend on the masses. No one is more noble than anyone else, and no one is indispensable.

Leaders recognize the contributions of the elites, and at this stage will also allow the elites to obtain more material rewards based on the principle of distribution according to work.

But apart from economic differences, the elite and the masses must be equal in terms of personal dignity, legal status, and political power.

The elite and the masses work together, and there is nothing to lose.

"Can you understand, Azir?" Sivir raised his eyebrows and asked back.

"." Azir was speechless.

He was silent for a long time, and then looked at Sivir in surprise with an almost tacit attitude: "You came up with all of these yourself?"

In the past month, her debating ability and thinking level have improved rapidly, which has far exceeded his cognition of this "wild princess".

But in the capital of Shurima, there is no other leader besides Sivir.

Could it be that she has been secretly following that blue bird to make up lessons remotely?
"No." Sivir shook his head: "I've just been discussing with Grand Maester Nasus."

Azir: "."

good boy nasus you
I asked you to teach this child ancient classics, so you just talk to her about it every day?
"Because Nasus knows that learning the ancient classics cannot save Shurima." Sivir looked at the back of Nasus's hard work in the distance: "Besides, compared with you, he at least knows that the Shurima he wants to save is in the end. what is-"

"Is it the old glory of the Ascended, or the people of this land?"

Azir fell into deep thought upon hearing this.

"So." Sivir looked over expectantly: "Are you willing to participate in labor and help clean up the sand in the canal?"

He thought for a long time, and finally
"How decent is this! No matter how you say it, I am the emperor and an ascendant!"

Azir turned and left angrily, leaving here as if fleeing.

It was the night when the sand and the sea were churning, and the rivers and canals were dredged for hundreds of miles overnight.

Everyone told the emperor.

The emperor said, this is a miracle from heaven in Shurima.The universe is impermanent, unpredictable, and cannot be studied in detail.

Every night after that.The next month, the river was full of sand.
