Chapter 1376: Essence

Dragon Slayer.

In the eyes of the ancients, whether it is the way of literature or the way of martial arts, in essence, it is actually a kind of self-path, and it is a route to self-improvement......

Basically, in ancient times, every strong person is essentially constantly improving himself, whether it is wisdom or pure force, for them, the use of tools is always just an auxiliary to their own strength, they are always more superstitious about their own strength, and will show a disdainful attitude towards some new things......

In fact, because of this, all those skilled craftsmen in ancient times often had a very, very low social status, and their skills were often called kit kat by the upper class, which belonged to the unpopular things......

In fact, many craftsmen, if they are analogous to modern times, are actually inventors and even some people can be regarded as scientists, if they are in modern times, they should belong to the existence of a very high social status, but in ancient times, the actual social status is very low......

On the contrary, those military generals with strong martial arts, or literati who are rich in learning, often have a very high social status and hold great power......

After all, in ancient society, their own ability and strength were very important, and strong people were always able to obtain a status that matched their strength, and if they were not strong enough, then even if they won a certain honor with some so-called kitsch lewd skills, it was also looked down upon......

Ultimately. This is a very typical way of self suppressing external things......

It's like when gunpowder first appeared. When muskets first appeared. In their opinion, this non-mainstream weapon cannot be compared with the bow and arrow that requires skill and strength, but it is also true that the failure rate of firearms in the earliest days was very high, and the range was relatively worrying. The rate of fire is very slow, such a weapon, of course, can not attract the attention of the rulers, even if the army is equipped with this kind of weapon, it is often only a small amount of equipment, the real large-scale use in battle, will not be widespread until modern times......

People are always accustomed to a familiar and comfortable way of life, so they will subconsciously reject some other way of life......

For example, for those who go to and from work every day at two o'clock and one line, and for those who like to go to nightclubs after work. I often feel disgusted subconsciously......

And on the contrary, for those who like to go out and play every day after work. If they are asked to go home obediently, they often feel uncomfortable......

In the same way, people who are accustomed to one mode of life tend to subconsciously reject other modes of life, and people who are accustomed to one power system tend to subconsciously reject other power systems......

For ordinary people, accustomed to the life brought by science and technology, they will subconsciously reject the so-called way of cultivation, and conversely, for people who are accustomed to practice, the so-called foreign object of technology is also difficult for them to have much attraction......

Just like people who live in seclusion in the mountains, and people who live in the city, they themselves live in a completely different environment, and there is no zĂ i which way of life is superior, it is nothing more than what kind of lifestyle to adapt to, people in the city will find it difficult to accept life in the mountains, it is nothing more than because they are used to prosperity, and on the contrary, perhaps for people who live in seclusion in the mountains, life in the city itself is also a kind of torture......

People are always reluctant to change their way of life, unless the new way of life is much superior to the original way, otherwise most people are conformists at heart......

Because of this, whenever the wheel of history rolls over, there will always be countless people who are run over by the wheel......

The way of self and the way of external objects themselves pursue two completely different concepts, but even if the concepts of the two are different, but for people, there is actually no difference at all, and what they pursue is nothing more than one point, that is, which path can bring greater convenience to themselves......

For the real world, there is no doubt that the way of foreign objects based on scientific and technological civilization has the absolute upper hand, and the progress of scientific and technological civilization has made people gradually disagree with the convenience that science and technology bring to our lives......

The convenience of science and technology has greatly dispelled many of the dreams that many people had when they were children......

For example, when you grow up, you want to be a chivalrous warrior who hoes the strong and help the weak, for example, when you grow up, you want to be a god and be able to live forever, and so on......

Many fantasies in childhood, after growing up, often become a childish symbol, and a lot of innocence, after being suppressed by reason, will naturally disappear without a trace......

With the maturity of people's intellect, more and more people have given up their own unrealistic illusions in the first place, and even began to scoff at those who had the same illusions......

However, in Wang Yu's view, the existence of the awakened is to reverse this concept of ordinary people......

Does the individual have to serve the collective?

Isn't it necessary for an individual's abilities to override authority?

Will the power of the individual necessarily be suppressed by the power of science and technology?

If an individual is strong, can't he change his life in the true sense?

That's what cultivation is all about!

Yes, cultivation!

The biggest difference between the awakened and those superpowered characters in Western comics is actually in cultivation......

The vast majority of superpower heroes in Western comics have little room for growth, and their strength is often based on their own innate abilities that are different from ordinary people......

And the power system and cultivation system of the Awakened. In fact, it is an analysis of one's own innate ability. A delicate process from knowing what it is to knowing why it is. And when the awakened know a certain amount of their abilities, they will even be able to explain their abilities to ordinary people who have no supernatural power at all, and let ordinary people also have a certain amount of supernatural power......

This is a state that can only be achieved after a perfect understanding of one's own abilities......

And the process of cultivation is actually a kind of exercise and strengthening of one's own strength......

In fact, in a sense, supernatural powers are theoretically within the reach of everyone, but the Awakened are compared to ordinary people. It is much easier to control this supernatural power, and ordinary people cannot use this power until they have figured out how to control it......

Just like when martial arts were first born, not everyone could practice, only those martial artists with different talents could exert the power of martial arts, and along with the research of their own strength and the study of martial arts by these martial arts powerhouses, they could finally carry forward martial arts. It even began to be popularized for every ordinary person to practice......

In fact, scientific research is the same, in general. The process of scientific research is often to study a special phenomenon first, and then find a way to make the special situation popular from the special phenomenon......

And in Wang Yu's view, the Awakened One is such a forerunner!

The existence of the awakened can be said to be the leader of human beings on the path of cultivation!

Yes, Leader!

This kind of concept may never have been generated in the minds of many awakened people, because for many awakened people, even if they exercise their own strength, but more often than not, they have never really thought about what the source of their power is, nor have they thought that maybe one day, it is not impossible for ordinary people not to have the ability to cultivate......

There is no other reason, because for the vast majority of low-level awakened people, deep down in their hearts, they actually still think that their ability is a gift from God, and this gift seems to them, it is impossible to be popularized, and deep in their hearts, they do not want to popularize supernatural powers, they are stronger than ordinary people, they are one level higher than ordinary people, this is also an idea shared by the vast majority of awakened people......

In fact, for a long time, Wang Yu also thought the same way, he felt that his strength was a talent of his own and an inseparable part of himself, and it was impossible for others to think that he had supernatural power like this......

However, at this moment, when he truly began to understand the power of the Awoken, he already understood somewhat......

The power of the awakened is not something that only the awakened can cultivate, if you want ordinary people to cultivate the supernatural power that the awakened can have, but you must reach a sufficient height to be able to do it, and if you have a certain height, you can often do some things that others can't imagine......

Only the Awakened who have a certain level of understanding of the power of the Awakened can be able to summarize the methods that allow ordinary people to cultivate the power of the Awakened......

And those who have not reached this level of awakening may not even be able to have such thoughts and thoughts......

It's like in the real world......

If you want to make an ordinary otaku become a department-level official in five years, for the vast majority of people, it may be a fantasy, even if it is a businessman with a small fortune, it is almost impossible to complete such a task, however, if it is for a high-ranking official in a certain system, it may not be a difficult thing to achieve such a goal......

For a person who has reached a certain height, what ordinary people can't see, they can often see clearly, and what ordinary people can't do, may also be easy for them......

In the final analysis, it is nothing more than an understanding of the rules and the control of the rules, and many rules may seem unshakable in some cases, but for those who have mastered the rules, this is not the case......

For an ordinary person, trying to turn a roadside beggar into a millionaire is undoubtedly an impossible task, even for those who have a lot of wealth. It's not easy, either. But for those who have hundreds of millions of dollars and even more wealth. It's just a matter of effort......

In the final analysis, it is nothing more than the difference in the height of the station, and the higher the position, the more scenery you can see, and the more beautiful it is......

And for the Awakened, what ordinary Awakened people can't do or can't imagine, for the peerless powerhouses above the realm, and even above time and space. But it's not something unthinkable......

It's like the so-called act of putting a giant dragon in the refrigerator, and only a peerless powerhouse in the realm of time and space like the old man can do it, and ordinary awakened people, I'm afraid it is impossible to even imagine it!

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

Dragon Slayer.

For Wang Yu, many things in this world are actually unimaginable to him before......

This is especially true of the perception of strength......

A long, long time ago, he always felt that the suppression of the weak by the strong was a matter of course......

People who are one step ahead in any field often subconsciously and instinctively suppress those who come after them. Preventing them from reaching the same heights as themselves or even surpassing them is an almost instinctive behavior. It is a kind of protection of one's own interests......

Basically, this is the case in all areas of reality......

After all, any kind of field is like a big cake, the size of the cake itself is limited, and the people who can get the cake are also limited, and the more latecomers, the less the cake that the forerunners can get......

Even in a small office, bullying newcomers can be a very common phenomenon......

The reason for this situation, in essence, is nothing more than because resources are always limited, and if you want to allocate more resources, you must occupy a more advantageous position, and you must form an effective monopoly as much as possible......

The resources are limited, but the people who want to get ahead are endless, so it will naturally form a situation where thousands of troops cross the single-plank bridge......

And the same reason, if it is placed on the body of the awakened, in fact, the same is true, in the world of the awakened, in fact, there is also more or less suppression and suppression......

Especially in the low-level awakened organizations, disputes between each other can be said to be very frequent, in fact, the low-level awakened people are essentially not much different from those ordinary people, they also have the same struggle for power and profit as ordinary people, and they are also as brave and ruthless as ordinary people......

This situation has often persisted at the level of super-sized organizations......

For the Awakened organization, the Awakened itself is the most important resource, and how many Awakened Ones an Awakened Organization can absorb has a lot to do with the territory controlled by this organization, the larger the area under control, the higher the probability of harvesting powerful Awakened Ones, and within the same area, the more Awakened organizations at the same level, the greater the possibility of the outflow of resources from the Awakeners......

Because of this, organizations above the domain level often suppress the rise of other new forces, and if the other party is too weak, they will exterminate or co-opt......

In the final analysis, it is nothing more than a competition for the resources of the awakened......

The more awakened people are, the faster their organization will develop and the stronger it will become, which is very simple......

Wang Yu has always felt that such behavior is a matter of course and a natural situation......

Although he doesn't agree with this, he doesn't have much disgust, it's just the so-called law of the jungle......

However, at this moment, he had a completely different feeling......

He began to vaguely feel that the fight between low-level awakened people was a thing that didn't have much meaning in itself, and he began to realize that when the awakened people were strong enough to a certain extent, they might be able to easily let ordinary people gradually have supernatural powers......

In such a situation, the competition for those so-called awakened people does not have much meaning in his eyes......

Yes, pointless!

In the final analysis, it is also a matter of pattern......

For ordinary awakened people, the awakened are a resource that needs to be fought for, but for the peerless powerhouse who truly understands the power of the awakened, it is not necessarily a difficult thing to shape an ordinary person to become a strong person......

And for the current Wang Yu, although he may not be able to make ordinary people become awakened, if he wants to make an ordinary person strong enough, he can do it......

In such a realm, his perception of power is already fundamentally different...... (To be continued......)
