Doomsday Hunter - Vol 4 Chapter 32
Hai Duo was the first to set off for the stars. The second one was not Li Le, who had long wanted to slip away. It was Li Shanyang, who had finally come to his senses after thinking for a long time.
He didn’t bring anyone with him, and he didn’t notify anyone, so he stepped on the fairy sword and flew into the distance. But the powerful energy fluctuations still reached the earth. Let many demigods know that there is such a person to achieve a breakthrough one step ahead of them.
Li Le also wanted to leave. But he’s definitely waiting for the girls to get ready. Not everyone has nothing to do all day like him. There will always be some handoffs of work.
Of course, it’s not that they don’t come back, but the next time they come back may be many years later.
Maybe he will die in the starry sky? But that doesn’t matter. People are always going to die. Some people like to die in the most familiar place in their hometown, while others hope to fall on their ideals and journeys.
In the Immortal Alliance, a group of guys who call themselves immortals, the ultimate goal is theoretically to soar.
What is ascension?
It seems that no one knows, but Li Shanyang has already performed it for everyone. Excluding his usual style of speaking, the essence of soaring is actually what Li Le said.
Either go to the stars, or return to order.
The former is the sublimation of the individual, the latter is becoming a part of civilization. Of course, the sublimation of the individual is essentially the precursor of civilization.
There is speculation as to why this is happening. In the end, Taimi and Zhuge Qianliu were more accurate in their guesses.
Human civilization is temporarily unable to accommodate god-level individuals. Therefore, they must improve the entire civilization before they can breed a more powerful existence.
Planets are the cradles of civilizations, and star systems are the homes of civilizations.
Only the entire starry sky is the future and destination of civilization.
Today’s human beings spend countless long hours fighting against gods. It was finally the first step out of the cradle.
On the ground, the younger disciples of Li Shanyang in the Immortal League raised their heads, looked at the starry sky, and watched the direction of their ancestors. There was a dazzling sword light there, pointing the way for them.
“Is it really possible to ascend?” Li Shanyang’s eldest disciple, Wu Jianheng, who is now a demigod, looked at the starry sky in the distance, thoughtfully.
Compared with the mentally abnormal master who came out of the mental hospital. He always knew that what he cultivated was actually a book of knowledge. Ascension or something, it’s rather nonsense.
So many times, Wu Jianheng is more concerned about the world. It’s a bit like Hesa and Death.
But, fly up…
What exactly does it mean? Going to the lonely and deserted outer space, you may not see a living creature for decades. No, probably longer considering the emptiness of space…
In contrast, the prosperity of the earth, the beauty, and the things that can be enjoyed here through strength. Such a comparison, why do people always choose the former. And even those who choose the latter are full of admiration for the former?
Wu Jianheng did not understand. But he asked himself, but he wanted to fly into outer space like Li Shanyang.
The essence of ascension is to go to a wider world, and longevity is just incidental. So ascenders are essentially curious.
Curious what’s out there. Want to go and see.
This is a choice that humans have faced since the tribal period. It is dangerous, and it also allows humans to continue to develop.
The unknown is always scary.
But also joyful.
If human beings flinch like any other animal in the face of the unknown flames created by thunder, then he is probably a primate that is no different from ordinary animals in the end.
It is precisely because of curiosity that we keep exploring. Only civilization can develop.
To be honest, there are not many people in the Immortal League who pursue ascension. Most people just want to get stronger, but don’t want to soar. However, this kind of person is usually entangled with many things in the world, and in the end, there is no way to become stronger.
At the low level of Qi Refinement, it is right to practice Qi, and when it is advanced, it is to practice Heart.
Wu Jianheng obviously has the heart to soar into the world. No matter what, Xianmeng still inherits Taoist thoughts.
Taoism is one of the hundred schools of thought, but Taoism is a religion. The former has the theory of governing the country, while the latter seeks personal spiritual detachment. This leads to the duality of the Taoist profession.
This is not only a reclusive existence, but it always runs out at the end of the dynasty to lead peasant uprisings, or participate in various wars.
Rescue stems from religion, and salvation stems from the original thought of Taoism.
Inaction and escapism are completely two concepts. The former focuses on not disturbing the remaining people, and it was a very effective idea in the feudal era, especially after the war. In the case of basic officials cheating, you basically let them use another excuse to exploit.
Therefore, the essence of Taoist thought is to love the people. Among the hundreds of schools of thought, the ones that can be spread, such as Confucianism and Mohism. The same is true of nature.
In the feudal period, it was really great to have this kind of thinking, but they were expressed in different ways. Mohism is more radical, Confucianism is more conservative, and Taoism, in between, is closer to lying in advection.
It is precisely because of this nature that Taoism, which has inherited some of the ideas of Taoism, will run out of many rebellious talents, and often emerge in troubled times.
The Xianmeng, and the Taoist body have turned four or five corners. Many of these things have been passed down sour. But there are still people like Wu Jianheng.
In recent years, the Immortal Alliance has been influenced by the New People’s Union, and the degree of secularization is very serious. Yaowang Valley, Shenbing Pavilion, Yuanzhen Tower and other production-oriented sects, one or two have been converted from handicraft industry to industry. Large-scale assembly line production always feels a little strange.
The handicraft industry is likely to produce a lot of fine products, after all, those masters are not lying. Craftsmanship may be better than machine-made. And quite flexible.
The only problem is that it’s too slow. The same time for industrial production is at least ten times as long as manual production. What’s the use even if you strive for one thing that is twice as strong as the other?
And as production expands, technology will continue to advance, and sooner or later it will surpass hand-made.
This is the case with these special products of the Xianmeng, which have been industrialized under the leadership of the New People’s Federation. One by one, the former gang bosses became entrepreneurs.
Even sects that had no production capacity and could only fight, can now open security companies and teaching institutions.
It can even cooperate with the military to some extent.
Such secularization makes fewer people who seriously cultivate and want to ascend. Of course, Li Shanyang didn’t care about this at all, and even thought it was good.
The current Xianmeng is already a thing close to a commercial organization and an academic organization.
Those who really want to cultivate immortals will not hang around here. Just like Li Shanyang, he would just find a corner where no one was around to squat and practice.
In other words, there were not many pure practitioners in this organization from the beginning.
The earliest immortal alliance was a group of bandits, a group of evil forces. Control the colony, collect protection fees, kill each other, grab territory and resources. What did you say? Is this also the case in the countries before the People’s Union? cough cough cough.
In a sense, it’s quite similar. It’s just a difference in size and organizational tightness.
At that time, Wu Jianheng was only a disciple of Li Shanyang’s sect.
The Book of Knowledge creates a desire to spread it out in the reader. Li Shanyang was no exception, so he opened a sect and began to preach.
Don’t tell me, this mental patient’s lecture is really intimidating, and Wu Jianheng believed it at the beginning.
But Li Shanyang’s management ability is indescribable, and it is inferior to Alna next door. Therefore, the Southeast Immortal League is just as messy as Steam Island.
To expect something from these immortal cultivators, it’s better to expect Hesa next door to kill the great sage and the like.
If it can be killed, it can really change the chaos of Steam Island. You must know that Islaud’s original plan has been done, and it can be implemented after the island’s reaction force is completely emptied.
Pull away.
In short, there was a lot of black history of the Xianmeng at that time, which people are unwilling to mention now.
But there are two young couples who are idle and have nothing to do.
Collecting historical data is a difficult thing. After all, historical data has a recorder, and the bias of the recorder will cause many deviations.
Not everyone is like Sima Qian, even if they don’t like you, they will still record your credit. It’s just that he will write your story very boring.
Of course, if he likes someone, he will choose a lot of good writing. This is somewhat of a selective narrative.
“There are indeed many tragedies in the early days of the Immortal Alliance…” The tablemate pondered: “The official did not mention it much. Is it because the influence of the Immortal Alliance has not declined and disappeared like the Salvation Army?”
It’s also normal, like this kind of black history, no matter who it is, it will be blocked as much as possible. It’s just that most of them don’t have the ability to block them cleanly.
A hundred years later, history has become difficult to distinguish between true and false.
Those members of the Immortal League, who really did a lot of bad things at the beginning, were all found by Cao Andong to make excuses for Li Le to kill them. But the rest is definitely not completely clean.
Originally, black gangs started out, so how could it be clean? The process of primitive accumulation is bound to be bloody.
“It’s better to keep these materials. It is estimated that they will not be used in the future, and they cannot be written indiscriminately.” The tablemate said after a moment of contemplation.
Liu Zelin scratched his head and said nothing.
After all, more than a hundred years have passed, and the truth has long been buried in the dust. This kind of thing does not want those heroes and sages, it is worth remembering. There are too many similar negative teaching materials in history, and it seems that this one is not bad.
It’s just… Liu Zelin pondered and kept these materials collected from various sources in a corner of the house.
Maybe one day it will be used again?
Similar historical data, the two actually preserved a lot. In a sense, it is the existence of people like them that allows people hundreds of years later to peep a corner of the historical truth through these materials.
It is difficult to say whether there will be such a day, whether the information they recorded will be recognized. After all, the folk recorders are really mixed, and they have written too much.
PS The passion for writing novels is really important, and it is really painful to continue writing when you want to finish it.
The quality of the later stage has dropped a lot… There is no feeling of resentment, only alas, it is finally over. so. Ask for a ticket, ask for a collection, ask for a subscription.
