Chapter 17: Da Luo's Detachment
According to Maslow's hierarchy of needs, intelligent life should have five levels of needs.
The first level is the need for survival, for example, for earthlings, it is the necessary needs of water, food, air, sleep, and so on to ensure the safety of their lives.
If any of these needs are not met, the physiology of intelligent beings will not function properly.
In other words, their lives are at risk. In this sense, physiological needs are the primary driving force for the actions of intelligent beings.
Only when these most basic needs have been satisfied to the extent necessary for subsistence can other needs become new motivators, at which point these relatively satisfied needs cease to be motivators.
That is to say, when the intelligent beings do not have to worry about food and clothing, will not starve to death, and have a guarantee of survival, these necessary needs to ensure survival are no longer what they need to pursue hard, and at this time, the intelligent beings will inevitably produce more advanced desires, that is, the needs of the second level.
The second level is the requirements at the security level.
The whole organism of intelligent beings is a mechanism for the pursuit of security, such as human receptors, effector organs, intelligence and other energies are mainly tools for seeking security, and even science and outlook on life can be seen as part of satisfying security needs.
However, the so-called security is not security in the ordinary sense, but multi-faceted security, personal security, health security is the most basic, slightly more advanced asset security, moral security, family security and so on.
For intelligent life, security is a complex thing, and it does not mean that life is safe if it is not threatened.
Risks are always present, such as the risk of loss of property, the decline of social status, and these are also factors that make intelligent students feel insecure.
Of course, once this need is relatively satisfied, it no longer becomes a motivating factor.
The third level of need is the need for emotion and belonging.
Wise beings will want to be cared for and cared for by each other. Emotional needs are more nuanced than physical needs, and they are related to a person's physiological characteristics, experiences, and the cognitive information they receive.
The fourth level is the need for respect, which is self-respect or respect for others.
The fifth level is the need for self-actualization.
For intelligent beings, the need for self-actualization is to strive to realize their potential and to become more and more what they want to be.
There is indeed a lot of truth in these theories, although there is some controversy in them, and the self-consistency needs to be improved, but their positive value cannot be denied.
However, Ye Ang felt that for a Da Luo, the five levels of need could no longer motivate them, because they were not mere individual intelligent beings.
In a sense, Da Luo can be regarded as a collection of super civilizations, but this civilization retains its personified characteristics due to its heels.
In the absence of other Da Luo interference, a single Da Luo Supreme is transcendent, above the five levels of need.
However, due to his personified nature, he still has needs, or desires.
And for many Da Luo Zun gods, their needs are to affirm themselves!
For Da Luo Zun God, affirming the self is a vague concept, and there are two needs to support this concept, one is the aesthetic need, and the other is the need for knowledge.
Needless to say, the quest for knowledge runs through the eternal topic of the Da Luo Zun God, and the Da Luo Zun God's cognition of the exploration of a higher level will never regress and stop.
Aesthetic needs are equally important, if you can't even define what "beauty" is, how can a Da Luo Zun God affirm himself?
Ye Ang's little nostalgia for the mecha is actually very beautiful in his own opinion, and in order to please himself, he can directly invest a lot of manpower and material resources to tackle relevant information.
And these behaviors, these information, eventually became part of the information set of "Yeon", and became the evidence of the existence of his personality.
......
The so-called higher-level needs are just ideally talked, in the flood of reality, there is not only one Da Luo, and there may even be many Da Luo in the future, which is a foreseeable thing.
In the face of the existence of the same level, Da Luo will not become too detached, on the contrary, this time is the process of Da Luo tempering each other, honing each other's true self, and the process of struggle is an excellent opportunity to refine the true self and promote self-advancement.
So the future will inevitably not be harmonious.
In order to have a relatively stable life in the future, and in order to roughly grasp the direction of the flood in the future, and establish that he will not be overturned inexplicably one day, Ye Ang must also take action.
When he put the work in the Penglai world on the right track, he began to go to the top of Buzhou Mountain to do another job of his own.
......
At the top of Buzhou Mountain, so far, in addition to Ye Ang, only Houtu and Nuwa, who have achieved Daluo, have come here, and the endless Pangu coercion has made all living beings can only be discouraged.
However, this is not the top of the mountain as others think, but an immensely vast wilderness.
The core entrance to the Great Luo Heaven opened up by Ye Ang is here.
Da Luo Tian is originally a virtual concept, an unknowable and unimaginable place, but due to the operation of the Heavenly Dao, the law is sympathetic, and gradually in the Da Luo Heaven, a sub-level material world has been formed.
Ye Ang's figure quickly came here, without the slightest hindrance, and the entrance of Da Luo Tian opened to him, as if to welcome his arrival.
Ye Ang did not hesitate and entered Da Luo Tianzhong directly.
The material world of Da Luo Tian can be called the heavenly realm, where the heaven and earth vitality are incomparably abundant, and the quality is extremely high, and one day of cultivation here is only afraid that it can be compared to several years of cultivation in the outside world.
As soon as Ye Ang came in, he felt that he was enveloped by the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi that was so rich that it could not be dissolved, and between his breaths, he could feel the swallowing of the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi.
If it is an ordinary creature here, even if it does not know how to practice the Dharma, it will follow its own instinctive breathing, swallow the vitality of heaven and earth, and finally realize the strength of the self.
This is simply the most incredible place of cultivation in heaven and earth.
However, such a holy place of cultivation is of little use to Ye Ang, who is already too easy to Daluo.
Don't say that it is too easy to Da Luo, even for ordinary Da Luo, the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi is also a dispensable existence, after all, the existence of this realm has been able to directly control the innate immortal spiritual light and violently interfere with the essence of time and space in the universe, and there is no need for the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi as a medium to exert its own power.
In other words, for the existence below the Daluo level, the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi is just an important tool.
But it's just a tool, for realms like the Mixed Yuan powerhouse and the current Hongjun Dao people or the Queen Mother of the West, the impact of the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi on their self-improvement is already minimal.
For low-level cultivators, the existence of Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi or Heaven and Earth Aura, which is the fundamental cultivation of cultivation, is not indispensable for upper-level cultivators.
It's like in the real world, money is a necessity for the existence of the bottom to maintain life.
But in the eyes of the existence at the top, money is only a kind of quantitative data, and in their eyes, the fundamental thing should be the means of production and productivity!
