I don't know how long it has been, and the universe has been divided into nine great worlds under an inexplicable force.

After another unknown amount of time, the nine parts of the majestic divine body finally automatically converged in one world.

"It's so heavy, but I didn't expect that it was Yun Feiyue who was possessed by someone else's evil thoughts. Marshal Gu Xin shook his head, his tone a little incredulous.

Emperor Tai Hao was a little pity, "This guy was actually led into a demon and became someone else's puppet, except for the innate immortal aura that fell silent and retained the last spirituality, everything else was replaced by the new thoughts that were born from the infection. ”

"Have you ever seen this kind of evil spirit?" Marshal Gu Xin asked Emperor Tai Hao.

Emperor Taihao shook his head, "I really haven't seen it." ”

He said to himself: "It's not so much evil as an information memetic virus that confuses and evilizes information, and it's a virus that even Da Luo can't be spared." ”

"Tsk, that's a good idea. ”

Marshal Gu Xin did not discuss academic and cultivation issues with Emperor Tai Hao, but solemnly introduced him to popular science: "This kind of evil qi, as far as I know, there are indeed many Da Luo in the Great Domain who have mastered such methods. ”

"But with their status, they are not enough to make a move against an existence like Yun Feiyue. ”

Emperor Taihao Heavenly Emperor cast a questioning gaze, "Whose evil thoughts is Yun Feiyue possessed?"

"It's hard to say. Marshal Gu Xin said casually: "I don't know much about Yun Feiyue, and I'm not sure who he will have a conflict with. ”

Emperor Taihao was noncommittal, turned around and walked down the course of time, and there was no point in continuing to go back.

"Tell me about Venerable Ananda, how much do you know about him?" asked Emperor Taihao.

He and Marshal Gu Xin walked through the corridor of time, watching civilization continue to change.

"Venerable Ananda, since the death of Shakyamuni Buddha, the dragon has seen the head and the tail, and there is little news of him. Speaking of this, Marshal Gu Xin shook his head and said: "Although the Ling Mountain is full of Buddhas now, the ancient Buddhas are constantly decreasing, either sleeping, or dying, or sitting. ”

Marshal Gu Xin didn't continue, as if he had a lot of criticism about Lingshan.

Emperor Taihao bowed slightly, at this time they had reached the time when the first demon king was destroyed.

The mountains and rivers were discolored, the Nine Realms were scattered, and hundreds of millions of living beings were weeping, but they still couldn't stop the former civilization leader who had fallen into madness, and now the Demon King of the World.

His power surpassed that of other monks of his time, and he was completely unstoppable.

"It's a pity that hundreds of millions of years of civilization have been ruined. Seeing the Nine Realms that were finally reduced to ruins, Emperor Taihao couldn't help but sigh.

"It's not a pity, after hundreds of millions of years, this civilization has lost the possibility of progress and gradually began to degenerate, so if you want to say a pity, you can only say that it is a pity that so many living beings are a pity. "Marshal Gu Xin walked with Emperor Taihao and continued to travel downstream in time.

A hint of curiosity flashed in Taihao Heavenly Emperor's eyes: "In your eyes, how is the civilization in these Nine Realms?"

Marshal Gu Xin pondered slightly, and then said: "According to a friend of mine, civilization can be divided into seven stages: morality, benevolence, righteousness, law, etiquette, and barbarianism. ”

"The so-called barbarians are barbarians and barbarians, and when they are not civilized, I don't need to elaborate on them. ”

In order to consolidate their own rule and maintain the unity of civilization, the ruler will consciously or unconsciously formulate a code of conduct in line with his overall interests, which is called etiquette, this is etiquette, not etiquette. ”

"Although the rule of etiquette is further than barbarism, it has its progressiveness, but also has its limitations, can only safeguard the overall interests of a few rulers, doomed it can not sink deep to the bottom, the so-called etiquette is not inferior to the people, that is, under the system of etiquette, the people are excluded. ”

"Therefore, the further civilization has entered the law, and the law is the embodiment of the will of the ruling stage, and the rules of behavior that all members of the civilization must abide by in the civilization formulated and promulgated by the civilization, and how much progress the civilization in the law stage has compared with the civilization in the ritual stage, there must be, but the two are not completely without intersection, and the civilization of etiquette and governance in the highest stage is often not inferior to the civilization of the rule of law in the initial stage. ”

"After all, the law is governed by people, but the rule of law is fundamentally progressive in nature compared to the rule of etiquette. ”

"If the civilization of etiquette will inevitably strengthen the authority of the core rulers and elevate their status and power, then the rule of law civilization system is naturally opposite to the rule of etiquette, which is to limit the power of the core rulers. ”

After all, the so-called fairness and justice can be defined, but one of the characteristics of civilization at this stage is that it is explicit or implicit collectivism, such as national righteousness, or nationalism, etc., which are a classification of righteous civilization. ”

But civilization at this stage, in its immature stage, often shows irrational mistakes, because behind the grand narrative, it is often the individual dissenting opinions that are suppressed. ”

"Further up, is the civilization of this stage of benevolence, benevolence, is a kind of moral category, refers to mutual friendship, mutual assistance, sympathy, etc., benevolence civilization is the progress of righteous civilization, only through the righteous civilization to lay down the identity of civilization, benevolent civilization can have the soil for development. ”

"In the benevolent civilization, the grand narrative is still the same, but the existence of the individual is never ignored, on the contrary, the benevolent civilization is the complete combination of the individual and the whole, organic unity. ”

"Compared with the previous stages of civilization, the most important feature of the benevolent civilization is that it has initially achieved the equality of all people, at least in terms of personality. ”

"In this level of civilization, each member of civilization participates in the construction of civilization as an independent individual, 'I', rather than the stage of righteous civilization, and participates in the evolution of civilization as a part of the whole. ”

Emperor Taihao praised it: "Civilization has reached this point, it can be described as civilization. ”

"But I don't know what level Your Excellency Zhuxia China is at?"

Marshal Gu Xin smiled slightly, a little proud, "Zhuxia China is now a German civilization. ”

"The so-called virtue is the norms and norms of the common life and behavior of the members of the civilization, or the conduct, quality, to reach this level of civilization, the material has already reached great abundance, the spirit is in a state of not being oppressed, their level of needs has been extremely high, is their pursuit at this time, is the individual's deep excavation of self-awareness and a high degree of coordination of the group. ”

"This is a decentralized and sacred civilization, and at this stage, the core and symbol of civilization are already difficult to describe in words. ”

"But it must be great, and at the same time be able to communicate with other civilizations on a par with perfect attitudes and morals. ”

"This is German civilization. ”
