Chapter 252: The White Emperor Appears
The spatial door was opened, and the White Emperor seemed to have accomplished his purpose.
In that space, the energy shield was gradually thinning, and the figure inside seemed to make a voice: "Since you are here, don't leave, the battle on both sides will be fought for a long time, you might as well stay and take a look." ”
Long Yifei suddenly floated.
Not fast, but resolute enough.
"You're really wrong, you think that you can occupy some advantages by relying on such a small means? No, do other secret realms also have actions? It's not right, it's just a secret realm, it is impossible for the human world to care about anything, let me think about it, who gave you peace of mind? It can't be other countries, at this time, they are not afraid of being blown up by us, and besides, in the politics of all countries in this world, there is no one force who is suddenly coerced and defected, and they are all clear accounts, so the only thing that can give you the so-called protection is the Beast Sea Continent? Is there really someone there? Why don't you contact us, but contact you? There must be something in this. ”
Long Yifei was a little excited, and said: "In the first Grandmaster War, I didn't expect to find the key to solving the biggest crisis of mankind, it's really interesting, then, please." ”
What does Grandmaster War mean?
Grandmasters are very good at finding loopholes or shortcuts in this world, which means that they are extremely good at how to make a very good deal with a single point of mana.
These are the Grandmasters.
What kind of person is the White Emperor? What is the subordinate legal system?
Nobody knows.
Long Yifei also discovered the abnormality, and the sound wave sent out towards the direction of the White Emperor was enough.
Enough means that as long as it's human, it's enough to be driven crazy.
It's not a question of whether the human will is enough, it's something that your DNA dictates when you first grow up.
However, the White Emperor actually acted as if he was fine, and he didn't react much.
The White Emperor suddenly said: "Sure enough, the strength of the handsome, woo, but you know, I have practiced in this fairy realm for thousands of years, and I have already comprehended the mystery of superior spells, and I have still become the most beautiful and strong person in the world, how can you resist!"
Long Yifei's eyes flickered, and he suddenly stopped attacking directly, but thought about it, and after a "person" composed of sound waves appeared, he began to fly towards the White Emperor.
It is fast, but when it flies far away, it begins to encounter obstacles and falls to the ground.
However, she also observed certain things through certain secret methods!
The White Emperor, even if he doesn't know whether he is a so-called thousand-year-old monster, is too different from normal people.
All over the body, every piece of flesh, yes, almost every piece, is not skin.
It's just tiny specks.
Those spots are human faces.
Although she didn't have time to look closely, every face was almost filled with endless resentment and tyranny, making her almost dizzy.
That's right, vertigo.
"I am the source of infinity, the interpretation of all knowledge, and you still don't take refuge? No, as for you, are you the girl with the power of magical soundwaves, then I will give you endless glory and become a part of me. ”
"Part of it, I see. ”
"For the past thousand years, I have been planning this, constantly adding the power of those geniuses to my body, all of them are really strong bodies, I can already use the extreme of thousands of spells, only a few are missing, but, haha, first get the worship of outsiders, the power of space, enter and get the power of your sound waves, I am the god who rules all things. ”
For a shrewd politician, where to spend his money depends on how many people he needs to keep loyal.
In the case of democracies, the cost of a leader's private fidelity is too high. In the case of an authoritarian government, the leader only needs to buy off a small number of people to keep his position. That's why the head of a democratic government is usually not the world's highest-paid manager. In more democratic countries, government tax revenues need to be dedicated to the public welfare of more people in order to win votes, while in authoritarian governments, leaders only need to cater to the interests of a small number of people to keep their rule in the long run.
In the ruling class, the ruler is doing what satisfies the interests of as many people as possible to achieve long-term dominance.
And in a world with spells, the ruler only needs to have strength to live and rule.
That's why the secret realm is so bad.
Domination should be a science.
Taken literally, rule is broadly divided into two major aspects: domination and governance.
To dominate is to dominate people's hearts, and to govern is to govern society.
The fundamental purpose of governance is to cultivate the common beliefs of society, and the fundamental purpose of governance is to improve the operating mechanism of society.
Only through the operation of common beliefs and norms can society develop healthily.
In a sense, common beliefs are more important.
Faith determines the nature of society, determines the direction of society, and determines the future of society.
A society without faith must be a chaotic society, a society with no future, and a society with failed rule.
Because there is a cost to "rule" - the cost of time and energy, the expenditure of gold and money, and the use of violence are all costs. If you blatantly declare, "I don't say anything, I don't care about anyone, I just want you to serve my desires completely," it will provoke fierce revolt from his subordinates and the common people, and the dictator will have to pay a lot of money to suppress such a rebellion and maintain his rule.
And a smarter way is to establish an image of a good emperor who is benevolent and has few personal desires, in order to reduce the expenditure of the cost of rule. However, it is impossible for a dictator to give up his true demand for "self-supremacy," so what should he do? Therefore, the emperors discovered that it is good to "play dumb riddles" and often say things at critical moments that seem to be indifferent and light, but actually have profound meanings, so that their subordinates can understand the emperor's true intentions on their own.
Another skill that goes hand in hand with "ambiguous instructions" is "unpredictable attitude". The emperor needs his subordinates to do things, so he uses "ambiguous instructions" to force his subordinates to guess the emperor's true intentions all the time. And when his subordinates wanted to use the emperor's hand to do things, the emperor often gave an unexpected reaction, which frustrated his subordinates' calculations, intending to tell the ministers, "I can use you to do things, don't try to use me to do things." ”
Later, I thought that life and death are actually the same, because you can't escape this matter, you can't escape this choice, even if sometimes the qualification to make a decision is not in your own hands. It may be pessimistic to say that people live to die, but it is also a fact. And the only thing that can be done about this fact is to bear it. But at least in life, there is something we can do on the way to death, but in fact, we can only do one thing, resist. Resist all, what you are afraid of, what you can't accept, even if it's yourself, you have to rebel against yourself. The result of not resisting can only be nothing. Even if we resist in the end, we ourselves will be scattered, but at least we have resisted and left something behind, which no one can erase. Doing nothing can be relative to the individual, even if you know that no one cares about your departure, but please care about your own departure. When I once thought about suicide, I would always find the most high-sounding reason for myself, and I should have a sense of respect for death. Later, I was bent on finding the dark side of human nature, and I was only affected by my own negative emotions. When I get rid of negative emotions and simply think, there is nothing black and white that is. Even I am paranoid that relative things are essentially the same. This is also the same as the previous life and death, echoing for a moment. But now I figured it out. The mind may be set in stone, and it may never waver again. But personally, I feel that thinking is still under our own control, because people and society may shake our thinking at any time, and when we can't change our thinking, we can only give ourselves a reasonable explanation to accept these vacillations. But some people are right, it's not important to think about these issues, living is the highest priority for people nowadays, the boat is naturally straight to the bridge, and sometimes the things that come out of an epiphany are more exquisite, so there is no need to pursue it.
The most ordinary people live for the sake of living, just like everything in the world lives for the sake of living, it is normal and warm.
Perseverant people live for responsibility, even if life is not satisfactory, they will still persevere for the sake of their relatives and friends.
People who have attained enlightenment live for enjoyment, they don't have to live a meaningful life, as long as they can enjoy more pleasures in life every day, even if it is repetitive pleasures, it is enough.
People with ideals live for ideals, after all, the meaning of living for oneself is the longest life, and the meaning of living for ideals can transcend the limits of life, and people with ideals will try their best to let themselves live in a longer and more eternal world.
"I live for the sake of concern, and I don't want to die for the sake of nostalgia. "What is care? Concern is an elderly and exhausted parent who wants to live for a few days, months, or years more, just to spend more time with their children. Concern is a young person with a serious illness who wants to live for a few days, months, or years longer, just to spend more time with the people he loves. Concern is the bond that people have for the things and things in this world that are difficult to let go and cannot give up. What is nostalgia? Nostalgia is a person who is dying, at the last moment, wants to see more of this beautiful world. Nostalgia is the pioneer of a great cause, at the last moment, still rest assured, still have concerns, thoughts, still want to do the last bit of effort, still want to see the world become a better place. Nostalgia means that people have a deep attachment to the things and things in this world, and just want to see more of this world. Because I am worried, I can't rest assured. Because of nostalgia, I don't want to leave. In the end, there is only one basic truth: because there is concern, because there is nostalgia, so I am reluctant to leave. This is the reason to continue to live "when it is on the verge of collapse and cannot be sustained". Not everyone knows this reason, and even most people don't know it. But all people will subconsciously not want to leave because they are "reluctant". Because of reluctance, concern, and nostalgia, people will work hard to survive, for themselves to live, for their parents to live, and for their lovers to live. Because of reluctance, people will not seek death easily. You can live for all sorts of reasons, for your parents, for yourself, for your loved ones, for your children, for others, for the world. But in the final analysis, it is still "reluctance". There are also those whose hearts are dead and whose hearts are as dead as ashes. However, even such people have the biological instinct of "yearning for life" and "living", and if they want to seek death, they must overcome the instinct of fear and survival. Because living beings want to live in this world, the logic of "living" is engraved into its genes. "Instinct" keeps us away from all kinds of crises, including fatal ones. "Reluctance" makes us nostalgic, nostalgic, and concerned about the world. The reason we live is simple, there are only two reasons: "instinct" and "reluctance".
Human evolution is full of paradoxes. First of all, the mutation of genes has been decided before birth, and no matter what the circumstances of life after that, it cannot change the cards in the hand at the beginning. You can't go back and modify your genes, you can't modify your early experiences. And we know that a person's deep motivation is set before the person is five years old. It takes a lifetime to prove whether the genes you get, your deep motivations, and even your prior knowledge are competitive. Those who win the competition are able to reproduce more or higher quality offspring. Human beings are not born to look up at the starry sky, not only the harsh external living environment, but also the competition within the human race. The human race is larger than that of many animals, and managing a large society requires a more developed brain. A person can only remember hundreds of people who have interacted with him, but our social structure, the system tools, allow us to manage a billion-level society. The difficulty of managing a billion-level society is beyond the reach of a billion-level society. The capacity of the human brain has also evolved with the complexity of society. Therefore, the survival and reproduction of man are related to the purpose of human evolution. Evolution affects not only individuals, but also the entire human race. Some genes are even expressed differently from generation to generation in response to the changes that the population is currently experiencing. There are also genes that control human diseases, such as some cancer-causing genes. These genes associated with death have not been extinct in the years of inheritance, but have been inherited in combination with other genes. This shows that death is also part of evolution.
From an evolutionary point of view, after the age of twenty-five, that is, after reproduction, the death gene can begin to be expressed. However, human young children need more than ten years of training, so this age will be postponed a little.
