Chapter 1712: Comparison

For ordinary people, when facing power and wealth, there is always a subconscious sense of awe......

Because, for the vast majority of people in the midst of order, whether it is power or wealth, it often represents a powerful force in itself......

Having both, in a sense, means being successful and strong......

For ordinary people, when facing people who have grown up more than themselves, they will always subconsciously produce a feeling of awe......

However, this kind of emotion is not everyone will have, in this world, there will always be more or less some people, they are not afraid of wealth, nor afraid of power, they may not be high-ranking officials, but their character is relatively indifferent, so for wealth, power, it is not easy to have too much awe, they will give everyone the respect they deserve, they also respect every successful person, but they will not be afraid of their potential energy......

The reason, in the final analysis, is that under the existing social order, for some people who live in a state of subsistence but have no more ambitions and pursuits, more wealth and more power are not enough for them to have too many ideas......

However, in this world, outside of power and wealth, there is a power that no one can resist!

That's violence!

Yes, violence!

Violence in the pure sense of the word!

Whether it is wealth or power, it is all based on order, but violence can break all the shackles of order......

Even those who are not afraid of wealth and power must be afraid of violence!

It's like the most fundamental reason why terrorists make people feel afraid. It is that their actions are themselves a kind of violence in the pure sense of the word, and this violence itself is a violence that is interfered with by power and wealth, and no one can achieve absolute security under such violence......

That's why. Therefore, this kind of behavior itself will make people feel instinctually afraid......

Wealth may not be feared, and power may not be feared......

But in its pure sense, power can be terrifying......

It's like natural disasters and diseases in nature......

It is a force that neither power nor wealth can resist......

No matter what kind of wealth and power you have, you can't fight against the power of natural disasters, nor can you fight against the law of birth, old age, sickness and death, so there is a saying that there is a great terror between life and death!

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

There are often two ways to overcome your fear of wealth and power, one is to make yourself equally rich and powerful. The other is to detach yourself from ordinary people's perception of wealth and power, and to reach a higher dimension......

If from the perspective of the ancients, such as cultivating immortals is a typical way, through the way of cultivating immortals, let yourself achieve a kind of detachment from ordinary lifestyles, once a person becomes an immortal, then wealth is good. Whether it is a right or not, it will naturally become a passing thing. Naturally, there will be no reverence for wealth and power......

Of course, in the final analysis, the so-called cultivation of immortals and immortality are certainly things that people are pursuing, but compared to immortality. Powerful power is even more important, only the immortality with power can be regarded as free in the true sense, otherwise, life is long in the pure sense. It is meaningless in itself, just like turtles, they have a longer life than humans, but for humans, in the end, they are just a nourishing food......

In short, what can truly make people transcend is only power in the final analysis......

Only strength is a thing that will not change because of external conditions, which is why when a person gains enough strength, he will naturally become calm and brave......

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

This kind of reasoning is actually the same for You Yue......

If it is an ordinary person, when he sees a rock giant more than ten meters high suddenly appear in front of his eyes, I am afraid that the panic in his heart is inevitable......

The person who does not change color after the collapse of Mount Tai has never existed in this world......

More often, this statement is just a way of describing, describing a person's change without being surprised, but the vast majority of people who are not surprised are often because they have a strong hole card as a backing, they will have a performance that is not shocked, if as an ordinary person, there is Mount Tai in front of him, then as long as he is a normal human being, he will definitely have panic in his heart, which is the most natural and normal reaction in the face of the forces of nature......

If it's not such a reaction, then it's an abnormal thing......

Just like many times, there will always be people who condemn people who escape alone when they encounter natural disasters, but in fact, their behavior is actually just an instinct when encountering natural disasters, that is a kind of instinct to survive, in this process, often without any thinking and reason, in this situation, people who can still maintain their sanity are often people who have a certain ability to resist and exempt themselves from natural disasters......

Weak people, when faced with natural disasters, will do it completely according to instinct, and for strong people, even in the face of natural disasters. They still maintain a certain level of sanity to think, so as to make more reasonable choices......

It is naturally commendable to be able to behave morally and nobly in the face of terrible natural disasters, but it is not a particularly shameful thing to lose your mind and act according to your survival instincts. At the end of the day, it is a matter of course that mortals will be frightened in the face of the mighty forces of nature......

When the weak face an existence that is stronger than themselves in strength, they will have fear, which is itself an instinct that cannot be restrained, and there is only one way to restrain this instinct!

That is, stronger than the other party!

Yes, more powerful than the other party!

At this moment, in the Black Rock Temple......

The giant Black Rock Guardian and You Yue are facing off......

Black Rock Guardian appearance. It looks like a huge version of the rock puppet, but if you look closely, you will find that the body of the Black Rock Guardian is faintly engraved with dense silver runes, and the body does not look like an elemental creature in the pure sense, but has a structure similar to a cybernatory......

On top of a skull as tall as a person, a pair of crimson gems serve as pupils. Radiates a bewitching and bloodthirsty glow......

Despite its massive size, the Black Rock Guardian didn't look bulky at all. In its place is a peculiar agility, a state of complete confinement of great power into the body......

Only the condensation of a high degree of strength will present this state......

Just by taking a look, You Yue clearly judged the strength of the monster in front of him......

The excellent template of the pinnacle of the fourth order plus the lord template!

There is no doubt that this is a completely different level monster from the rock golems encountered before!

However. Even so, You Yue's face didn't show much shock......

Because compared to the strength of his opponent, he has a clearer understanding of his own strength!

A multimillionaire is naturally worthy of the exclamation of ordinary people. But in the eyes of a billionaire with assets, in the final analysis, there will not be much difference from ordinary people......

The powerful power is of course amazing, but in the face of more powerful existences, this kind of strength is actually naturally mediocre......

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

Compared to the huge body of the Black Rock Guard, You Yue's body naturally looked a little small......

However, strength has never been too directly related to body shape......

At least in the eyes of a truly powerful being, there is no absolute correlation between the two......

Perhaps in a world with a lower level of strength, body size and strength are often directly proportional, but when the level of strength rises to a certain height, the situation is completely different......

Because the power represented by the realm is often not something that can be understood by the level of strength determined solely by the body shape......

Just like in primitive society, the way barbarians compare their strength and weakness with each other is often based on the strength and size of the two sides, and the larger the person, the stronger the strength, and the more able to dominate the tribe......

However, in modern society, a strong man with strong martial arts may not have much chance of winning when facing an ordinary person with a firearm, this is the power represented by the realm......

To a certain extent, the power of science and technology is also a realm power, and people who can understand this power can harness this power, so as to explode a powerful ability that is completely disproportionate to their own body size......

Of course, compared with the power of the awakened, the power of science is slightly inferior, not that science is not strong enough, but the power of science, more often, represents a kind of wisdom, represents a kind of thought, this kind of thought and wisdom, has extremely high value, but it cannot directly make people strong, it must be achieved through a variety of tools, and in this process, the status of scientists is often insecure......

It is true that scientists have a very high status in various countries, but this status itself must still depend on rights and order, and scientists themselves cannot really enjoy the fruits of science, and more often, they can only make wedding dresses for others, that is, because of this, there is still a certain difference between the power of science and technology and the power that completely belongs to themselves......

And this is precisely the fundamental difference between a scientist and a mage!

To a certain extent, mages and scientists essentially pursue the truth of this world, but the difference is that after scientists master the truth, they cannot use this truth to arm themselves and make themselves stronger, and can only achieve theoretical strength by making tools, which is why scientists will never become the most powerful people in the world......

However, mages are different!

Although the mages also pursue the truth, their truth is a real power that can arm themselves, and all their understanding of the truth will be reflected in the power they have, they have a long life and great power that ordinary people can hardly reach, and as they search for the truth, they will become stronger and stronger, and may even have power beyond the gods in the end......

That's where the difference in the power system lies!

If you had to use an analogy, it would be the difference between an airplane and a superman......

Although the two can also fly, the former uses tools to achieve their goals, but the latter relies on their own ability to fly, and the two are naturally essentially different......

The power of mages, to a certain extent, is completely their own, and their understanding of the rules can be fully reflected in their combat effectiveness......

That's why it's ......

So even if You Yue stood in front of the Black Rock Guard, she didn't feel too moved by the other party's size!
