Chapter 4: Abandonment and Adaptation
"I glanced at that day, and I never thought that I would see each other again in decades. Pallas, the war at the end of the universe goes on endlessly, and I thought you had gone there. ”
Chang Wei smiled.
Athena complained: "Don't be so direct, okay? ”
"Get straight to the point."
Chang Wei said.
The two walked side by side, and Chang Wei smiled: "The front line is tight, you and Artemis are both at my place." I wonder what the god-king Zeus meant? ”
It's really straight to the point.
Athena said, "You say this as if no one wants me or Artemis." ”
Chang Wei shook his head and smiled: "Where is this meaning." This... You and I know that. I have known you since Zilin's hometown, and I have also shared hardships. There is friendship in the heart, so there is no need to twist and turn. ”
Athena was stunned for a moment and said, "Yes, you and I both know... The great Kaos tended to leave the old behind and embrace the new, so what should we do? We have the noblest bloodline since the opening of the universe, and we have also paid for this universe with our lives and blood, why should we be abandoned? ”
Chang Wei was dumbfounded.
He shook his head and said, "You have been with me for decades, have you ever read Taoist classics?" ”
Athena bowed: "Yes." ”
"Heaven and earth are unkind, and all things are used as dogs, and saints are unkind, and people are used as dogs. Heaven is constant, not for Yao, not for death. The Heavenly Dao is based on the supremacy of the universe and regards all things as equal, and the sins or merits of individuals and groups are not important, but the future of the universe is important. ”
The operation of the Heavenly Dao follows the rules of stable, orderly, positive and long-term development of the universe. If it is harmful to the long-term and future of the universe, even if you are Yao Shun, then what should perish will still perish. If it's favorable, even if you're a, then it's up to you to be bullish.
Therefore, some people feel that they have done a lot of things, but they do not get the due reward, so they complain about God's injustice. There is nothing wrong with this from a personal standpoint. But on the time scale of the long future of the universe, your efforts, your good deeds, will hinder the development of the universe and are harmful.
Of course, individuals or groups can do things that affect the future development of the universe, and this is not something that ordinary people or groups can do.
Individuals and groups here are individuals and groups who are qualified to form an influence. For example, the Olympian gods.
They have that power.
Change to an ordinary group, a civilization on a random planet, that kind of existence, too small. If it does not develop to a level that can be called great, it will have no impact on the future of the Heavenly Dao, and even if it is, it will only be able to calm down in a few clicks, and it is irrelevant.
All sentient beings can only succumb to the general trend, and only the top of the pyramid determines the direction of the general trend.
No matter how high the strength of all living beings is gathered, for example, humanity is the collection of all living beings, but all living beings need leaders anyway, and without leaders, there is no power. And the leader is the existence at the top of the pyramid.
Ordinary, just blindly followed.
At a higher level, when the power of individuals shakes the heavens and the earth, the power of all living beings is really not enough. Although the ultimate goal of humane development is to make everyone like a dragon, it is the ultimate goal, and it can only be achieved in the end, but it may never be realized, it is just a dream.
In fact, the immortal system is a core system built on the dream that everyone is like a dragon. But the system is still not perfect - there are still very few people who can become a dragon.
Far from it.
Chang Wei understands Athena's mood, or the feelings of the old forces. This kind of thing is the same everywhere, I have made meritorious deeds and shed blood, and you will abandon me!
How can this be figured out?
This is where the limitations of these powerful beings in this universe lie. They regarded the way of heaven as human beings. However, the way of heaven is not a human being, Mo feelings.
Looking at the pocket of Olympus, he is a god and has strong power, but what he has always done is more similar to that of mortals, and even inferior to that of mortals.
I just thought, how can I, Olympus, also be a god, right, I have done everything I have to do, resist aggression, shed blood and tears, this is not enough? And you want to abandon me?
If it is in the midst of humanity, it is called inhumane, impersonal, and cold.
But in the Heavenly Dao, this is a matter of course. It's not for Yao. Abandon you, not because you did badly, but because there is something better. And that's not about you.
Better is about the longer term. Heavenly Dao will not hesitate, will not weigh up, and will directly choose the most advantageous.
Of course, the way of heaven also gives a choice. Is it to embrace the old and return to the past, or to welcome the new with a smile? There is a buffer in the middle. Relatively speaking, the way of heaven also gave Chang Wei a choice. Didn't you say that your immortal path was good, then fight for it yourself. It doesn't matter what method you use. You have subdued the old, and that is you. If it can't be subdued, what else is there to say?
Actually, it's all the same.
It's just that Chang Wei is based on the Immortal Dao, and there are many lessons from the past in the Immortal Dao, so he sees it more lightly. Or more determined.
And he said, Thou shalt forsake me, and I will turn my back from thee. It's also a joke. Let's not talk about whether they can break away from the control of the Heavenly Dao, just say that they have deviated and become a part of the evil gods, and when the evil gods win, what benefits can they get?
The absolute difference in the nature of life is destined to be the enemy. Just like Satan, he is also the defiled part of the way of heaven, and he is not actively depraved. Even the fall of Satan is something that Heaven has to do - to concentrate the polluted part on Satan and cut off the flesh.
So to play, you still have to play the rules on your own side.
Chang Wei is straight to the point, and he has actually held it now. First of all, he has become an earth immortal, and with his background, although he has just become an earth immortal, there is no qualitative gap with Zeus.
Secondly, it was to convince Hongjun. Without the constraints of heaven, some things do not need to be calculated too much.
Again, the Taixuan Immortal Gate has become a climate.
"It's not a question of whether the Heavenly Dao abandons you or not, it's a question of whether you conform to the general trend or not." He smiled: "Immortal Dao is all-inclusive, and I welcome Olympus. With you and Artemis here, I am so open-minded. Pallas, open, each drawing a line, clear, clear, isn't it? ”
Athena couldn't help but fall silent.
Whether the fairy road is good or not, of course Athena knows. She has been in Xianmen for decades, and she has not been in vain. Earlier, in Daenerys's time and space, they had obtained Chang Wei's casting method and had initial contact. In the past few decades, in the Taixuan Immortal Gate, although he can't get in touch with the mysteries of the esoteric level of immortal dao, with the relationship between Artemis, the body god, the primordial god, and the two realms are understood.
Although Athena did not change her cultivation, she already knew the wonder of the fairy path.
To use a very simple analogy, Artemis was slightly inferior to Athena before he turned to the immortal path. Now that he has completely turned to the Immortal Dao, the two are fighting, and Athena is no longer Artemis's opponent.
It's only been a few decades. For gods like Athena, decades are just a snap of a finger in their long lives.
