40,000 Years of Cultivation

When Li Yao heard this, he slapped his thigh and said loudly: "Yes, what you said is not bad at all. This is what we have discussed when we were in the Star Federation. The cultivator's "the weak and the strong, the winner is king." Under the suppression of the Great Avenue, the entire civilization will only become a layer of exploitation and squeeze, transforming the gods to oppress the Yuan Ying, the Yuan Ying oppresses the formation of alchemy, the formation of alchemy oppresses the foundation, the construction of the foundation oppresses the refining, and the refining oppresses ordinary people. , Ordinary people oppress and hurt each other in this way, and eventually, it will evolve into a'all-to-all war'!

"Such a true human empire, even if it has hundreds of millions of cultivators, millions of starships, and controls hundreds of rich worlds, it consumes most of its power in vain. Of course, it is not an opponent of the Holy League, even facing the stars. Such a'barren country' like the Yao Federation is too weak.

"And this is the reason why I sneaked into the middle of the star sea for thousands of miles and vowed to upset the real human empire!"

Long Yangjun smiled faintly and shook his head: "If you think that what I want to talk about is only the system and philosophy, it is the cruelty of Xiuxian Avenue that has caused a lot of chaos, then your vision is too shallow, and the pattern is too small. .

"In my opinion, this is not a problem unique to a certain country or even a certain civilization, but human nature, an inevitable terminal illness caused by the common human nature of all intelligent life.

"This is true of the true human empire, but the ancient sacred dynasty that I have lived in is not the case? The Xinghai Republic was established by cultivators, but when it decays and declines in the later period, is it different?

"There is also the 30,000-year Great Dark Era of the Demon Race. It is too far away to know exactly what the low-level people living at that time looked like. But just look at the'living fossil' of the Blood Demon Realm and you can see it-blood The Demon Realm inherited the "four pillars system" of the Great Dark Age, and used illusory beliefs in ghosts and gods to paralyze the people. What kind of "destruction, rebirth, and immortality", if not for your appearance, wouldn't the lower level monsters of the blood demon world continue to lie in such lies? Sink down?

"The Dagan dynasty established by ancient Xiu, the blood demon world ruled by the demon clan, the Xinghai Republic established by the cultivators, the true human empire established by the cultivators... Four forces of different ages and worlds, four completely different System and philosophy, but the result is the same. Do you still think that this is not a chronic disease of human nature itself, but that there is only a problem with the concept of the'Xiuxian Dadao'?"

Li Yao pondered for a moment and firmly said: "This is not the case with the Xingyao Federation. I believe that the Federation will carry out the true path of cultivation to the end. The strong will protect the weak and the weak will support the strong. The entire civilization is united and will surely be able to move forward. Dynasty, Monster Beast Empire, Xinghai Republic, and Real Human Empire have never set foot in it, and there is no ancient realm before!"

"is it?"

Long Yangjun said, "If the Xingyao Federation is completely different from the above four countries, what is the "Magic Tomb" you were born in? Also, I heard that the Federation also has an "underground ghost city". There are countless people living underground, right?

"Of course, you don’t need to argue, I also know that the underground cities of the Star Federation are often located on the shallow surface, and the environment is by no means as bad as the empire, and the Star Federation is vigorously improving the ground environment, such as the'Magic Tomb'. , Has become less and less.

"But in my opinion, the Star Federation is just an isolated special case, not enough to represent the broadest human nature.

"When the Star Federation was born, it was severely threatened by the Blood Demon Realm. Every day is a critical moment of survival. Naturally, the people can only unite as one. The strong and the weak support each other and fight side by side.

"When the Star Alliance defeated the Blood Demon Realm and just relieved the pressure of survival, two giants, the True Human Empire and the Covenant Alliance, appeared again. In the foreseeable hundreds of years, you will be extremely difficult. If they defeated them, the Star Federation could not give up the word'Unity'.

"Plus a series of coincidences, including the existence of an anomaly like you, led the Xingyao Federation to discover resource-rich places like the Bone Dragon Star one after another, as well as prehistoric relics like the Kunlun Secret Realm, from resources to technology. The big outbreak has given rise to the golden development period that seems to be thriving and vigorous today.

"I've been thinking about a very interesting question-what if it weren't for you? If there is no such thing as'Vulture Li Yao Li Old Demon, Three Realms Supreme Li Guofu' in history, what would the federation be like today? Will it not be able to carry the gravity of human nature, like the ancient sacred world, the blood demon world, the Xinghai Republic, and the real human empire, falling toward the endless abyss? Can the road of cultivation that you are proud of really save a federation without you?"

Long Yangjun's tone became lighter and lighter, and his expression became more and more secretive. In the end, he seemed to breathe lightly at Li Yao.

"You don't want to come to this set. I really think I'm stupid. How to answer this hypothetical question is to step into your trap."

Li Yao sternly said, "Perhaps human nature is really determined by the environment, but since today's Star Federation can inspire the bright side of human nature so splendidly, you can't say that human nature has only darkness and evil. I just don’t believe that human nature is evil, no matter how difficult it is, I will do my best to make the empire and the Holy League become like the Federation!"

"Then you chose the longest, most tortuous, and most difficult road."

Long Yangjun said quietly, "As your best friend, I really can't bear to see you struggling painfully on this doomed road, hitting your head and bleeding, and finally surrendering and giving up in tears!"

"stop!"

Li Yao tightened his eyebrows, "It's horrible to be a'best friend' like you, let's be'ordinary friends' again!"

"Whatever you say."

Long Yangjun smiled lightly, "Anyway, from the ancient sacred world to the federation, and from the federation to the empire, I have seen too much of the darkness of human nature.

"The life in the ancient sacred world is extremely cruel. After a famine, it was so hungry that it gave birth to savage rebels like'Huntian King Qi Changsheng' and'White Lotus Mother Wan Mingzhu', but I thought at the time that this was too civilized. Living backward, life is too poor.

"When I come to the real human empire that has been more developed than the ancient sacred world for tens of thousands of years, it is obvious that the resources are extremely rich. Synthetic food can feed everyone, and most people have entertainment and life convenience that the ancient emperor could not enjoy. , But why does everyone still live so painful?

"In the underground world tens of thousands of meters down vertically, the five classes are like the five heavens and the earth. Everyone is in great anxiety at all times. On the one hand, they worry that they will fall into the abyss below. On the one hand, they sharpened their heads and tried their best to crawl upwards, but even if they climbed out of the ground and came to the world under the sun, what about becoming immortals? Isn't they going to endless intrigue and cannibalism?

"Perhaps, human suffering does not come from the barrenness of resources, but from the expansion of desire, or it is precisely because the desires of everyone from the top down are difficult to fill, it reflects the extreme poverty of resources.

"Desire is something that'can never be satisfied'. Those desires that can be satisfied are not real desires at all; and human beings are like this. No matter how much resources are given to you, you will try to spend them all. Does the net exist?

"Remember what I told you when I left the Star Federation. Humans are gods, and gods are human beings. Everyone’s brain is composed of astronomical demon heads. The creeping, struggling, and screaming of these demon heads It constitutes the seven emotions and six desires of human beings.

"The more mankind feeds these demon heads, the more they grow stronger and become hungry. The greater the demon head's appetite, the stronger the human desires, forming a vicious circle that never ends.

"Haha, what exactly is the so-called'extra-terrestrial demon'? Does it really mean'a demon in a star field beyond three thousand worlds,"? No, the demon is obviously everywhere, and three thousand worlds can come and go freely. Could it be that there is no such thing as an'extraterritory demon', only a'desire demon'?

"Don't stare at me like this. I don't mean to pretend that the gods and demons will pull humans out to criticize. As I said just now, I don't think that the excessively strong emotions and desires are the unique inferiority of human civilization. On the contrary, I think this is most likely a special gift inherited from the civilization of Pangu and Nuwa.

"Perhaps, every carbon-based intelligent life civilization with individual closed brains and independent thinking capabilities cannot avoid individual differentiation and the evolution of strengths and weaknesses, and it cannot contain the crazily proliferation of desires, so they have gone to destruction.

"The Pangu Civilization Alliance should be aware of this problem. They are extremely afraid of their seven emotions and desires. They call their emotions and desires the'devil', and try to seal their own'heart demon', in order to avoid being generated in an overly complicated and sinister environment. Emotional fluctuations, they even gave up the exploration of the external world, but created tools such as'human beings' to replace them to explore and transform the universe, and they themselves...maybe in a trance all day long, abstaining from passions. In the meditation state?

"However, even if they achieve this level, they have not been able to stop the surging of desire, and there is still a rebellion among them-the Nuwa clan.

"As the saying goes, the extremes of things must be reversed. The result of extreme depression of emotions and desires is the most complete indulgence! With the Nuwa clan as the head, all the intelligent beings in the Pangu Civilization Alliance who cannot bear no emotions and desires united and resisted. In the end, it really caused a great famine. The destruction of civilization!"

"and many more."

Li Yao was a little confused. "On the one hand, you say that emotions and desires are extremely terrifying and will lead to ultimate destruction; on the other hand, you say that emotions and desires are inevitable. Under extreme depression, things will be reversed, which is very contradictory, you Where on earth are you standing?"

"Why are you stupid again?"

Long Yangjun grinned, "I am carrying the dual heritage of Pangu and Nuwa. Of course, I stand on both sides. I think it makes sense. As for the contradiction... I was originally a very contradictory person. You knew it the first day. ?"
