The promotion of competition amongst the young Supreme Beasts is why the Supreme Alliance rewards those who eliminate other Supreme Beasts with half of the points of their targets during the rite of passage. But none of them can be killed. So in this way, a safe environment that encourages competition has been created for the efficient distribution of resources.
That's what the rite of passage is for the Supreme Beasts. It is another thing entirely for the inhabitants of the plane who have to be indoctrinated by peaceful coercion or forceful enlightenment.
"The Supreme Alliance has thought this through. We are not only fighting the inhabitants of the plane but each other too. No wonder some people will survive in the plane. We won't be able to focus on them if we have to worry about each other. They want to temper the young while also leaving a way out for the inhabitants of the plane."
He has to admit that the Supreme Alliance has thought some things through. The way they are raising their young is at least better than the way high elves raise theirs. High elves don't have anything like the rite of passage. They grow up weak and peaceful while the Supreme Alliance raises their young to live for subjugation and domination.
The rite of passage allows the young supreme beasts to experience mass violence and domination. It is an experience that is a long time coming since they were hatchlings who had to listen to stories of domination.
The young Supreme beasts get to fight the inhabitants of a plane desperate for survival and they have to watch out for each other. Even if they don't turn out as great fighters, the Supreme Alliance will get returns on their investment many times over as long as the Supreme beasts become immortal.
He returned to reading the rules. The second most important rule is the sanctity of the citizenship system. People on the plane can be recruited either forcefully or through the incentive of the citizenship system. But points are needed to make anyone a citizen. It might seem like a loss but it isn't. At least if done well.
Instead of fighting the king of a kingdom to the death, he can be made to surrender by negotiating with the citizenship system. In that way, someone can gain control of a kingdom easily so it is not a waste to use an expensive point on a citizen when they can be used to exchange for divine abilities. It is an investment to turn a king into an ally.
The citizenship system is very incentivizing to the inhabitants of the plane because citizens can't be killed. They will also be saved at the point when they are about to die.
It is why gods and the influential people of the plane haven't disregarded everything to fight to the death with the Supreme Alliance. Instead, they have hope for survival so they will engage in the rite of passage according to the rules and fight for their survival.
He shook his head in wonder. "The Supreme Alliance is too smart. They have reduced the defense of the plane against them with the citizenship system. They are practically turning the people of the plane against each other. So the plane can be exploited peacefully by the Supreme Alliance."
lightsΝοvel The things he read about the citizenship system made him understand why the Supreme Alliance doesn't just enslave everyone and why they are going to great lengths to enforce the citizenship system by protecting them from death. The citizenship system is a form of enslavement except it is willing and done with enthusiasm by the inhabitants of the plane.
The inhabitants of the plane have to accept it because the alternative is death. As for the Supreme Alliance, they are not allowing them to become citizens out of the goodness of their hearts. They are doing so because they need people to manage their farms for them. Surely they can't make Origin gods stay in a plane to ensure that livestock is produced. Immortals have better things to do with their time.
The citizenship system helps the Supreme Alliance to manage its resources. The citizens do the menial labor for them and the citizenship system reduces the amount of work the Supreme Alliance has to do to bring a plane to its heels. It is killing two birds with one stone.
His teachers during the blood crucible were citizens. Some of them wanted to become citizens while others wanted to rise higher within the citizen system. That's why they were willing to risk their lives to assist young Supreme Beasts to survive the blood crucible.
Legion-5 read the rules books thoroughly. It contained information about the point system. That is probably the most important information one has to have. He made sure not to miss anything about it. He found the part about the conditions for granting gods the right to citizenship particularly intriguing.
"Gods can be turned into citizens but the lowest god is worth a ten point. That is already the price of some divine abilities. Stronger gods are worth more. Who will waste their point by saving gods? I am afraid no god will survive like this."
From what he read, points are very difficult to get. A king is not worth a point personally. The only reason why someone will spend a point to recruit one is because they are in charge of a kingdom. So rather than waste time and manpower to subjugate a kingdom, it is better to acquire it peacefully with a single point and use it to subjugate other kingdoms.
As for gods, the weakest low god is worth at least 10 points while a Celestial is worth 200 points. To turn a god into a citizen, you must use the same amount of points that they are worth. That is too expensive to do. Most supreme beasts would rather kill them for their points rather than save them.
