Chapter 464: Great ideals begin with a small goal
The first time the people of the God Slaughter felt that they were obviously inadequate, and that they were in urgent need of retreat training, was after the battle with the Guardian Mariana Trench.
In particular, Pan Shen's Skeleton Demon appeared in Okinawa, leaving a deep impression on Dongfang Chen with a very visually impactful scene.
After that, Dongfang Chen understood a truth: a team, only a few people stand out, and the overall strength of the team depends on its shortcomings.
So there was a five-year retreat in the world of Prosius. In that retreat, in addition to the improvement of the individual team members, the most important thing was to hone the team's cooperation.
But this encounter with the Guardian Dune not only made Dongfang Chen and others who had experienced the fierce battle feel powerless, but also made all the members of the group have to face a reality: the God Butcher Regiment is still too far behind the Guardians.
As a result, Dongfang Chen fell into a deep contradiction, which is also a common problem faced by all wandering groups in the universe: how to make the individual and the collective synchronize to achieve the best state, and maintain the balance between the two.
For a wandering group, it is essentially a collection of individuals with the same purpose. The great differences between individuals will inevitably bring about collective instability, seriously shake the foundation that regulates collective behavior, and even weaken the reason for the existence of the collective.
Almost 100% of the wandering groups in the universe will eventually go down this path, and there is no solution. Many wandering groups have defeated one opponent after another, and they have stood at the top, but they have been destroyed within the team, and they have fallen apart inexplicably, which is embarrassing.
The most obvious example of this is the Warden. As a first-order wandering group, it has a strength that is not inferior to the junior second-order wandering group, and it can be said that it is already standing at the top of the first-order wandering group. But even with such a strong team, it has repeatedly been deflated by the God Butcher Group.
Why? It's because there's a huge problem within this team. And almost all of these problems come from the same cause: huge differences among members.
Such disagreements include many differences: power disparities, racial differences, backgrounds, status, religious conflicts, crises of trust, fear of responsibility, personal supremacy, and so on. But that's not the worst of all, the most disgusting thing about the Wardens, and the root cause of their demise, is that the members use each other to use each other as guns!
No matter how awesome the wandering group is, once such a sign appears, it is not far from destruction or dissolution.
Dongfang Chen is not worried that there will be so many problems in the God Slaughter Group at the moment, but some small problems are unavoidable, and they cannot be changed by a few encouraging words from him. For example, the difference in strength between the members of the group will cause confusion to many people, and even dissatisfaction and inferiority complex.
According to Prosius's scoring criteria, Poklonskaya, who had the lowest rating in the group, was only one point, and Katsuo Asakusa was only four points. Although they couldn't talk about it, Dongfang Chen had already seen the signs from many things, Moncaro and Elus Finser always mixed a little ridicule in their words, and the general and the hummingbird always shrank behind everyone intentionally or unintentionally in team meetings, never seeing the two of them take the initiative.
There are even more small actions, such as Seven Kills just doesn't look down on Elus Finser, and the Black Moon Lady doesn't look down on Mr. Bug for some reason, Shake Light gives Attia a face at every turn, while the others are afraid of the Baron's life and often stay away from her, Monkaro scoffs at Seven Kills, but Hummingbird, General, and Zero three former A3 members are afraid of Seven Kills.
What's even more naïve is that members of the Earth and extraterrestrial members often fire geo-cannons. Atila doesn't care about what others say, but Moncaro and Elusphinse always feel discriminated against, claiming many times that this is true racism. Sometimes, as cultivators, Seven Kills and Tianshu would often stand up and say a few words, exhorting everyone to let go of their prejudices, follow nature, and have the heart of accepting all rivers, but when they looked back, the three of them often formed a small group, and sometimes they couldn't even get into Dongfang Chen.
Dongfang Chen felt a heavy weight on his shoulders, because he suddenly found that the reason why so many different people could get together was actually because of himself. If he were gone, would these people still be the same as they are now?
No, this narrow logic must be changed!
All members of the God Butcher must truly feel that this is a big family, everyone is not just wanderers who come together to pursue their ideals, but sincere friends, close partners, comrades-in-arms who depend on each other for life and death, and a family that needs each other, warms each other, and never abandons.
To change this status quo, first of all, it is necessary to give people with low self-esteem strong enough confidence, and let them understand that such a thing as a difference in rank and strength will not happen at least in the God Slaughter Regiment.
I, Dongfang Chen, hereby promise that in the future, every partner of the God Slaughter Regiment will be at least higher than me in terms of the Spiral Steps. Even if you're a lump of mud, I'm going to do everything I can to get you up the wall.
In the future, the leader of the God Butcher Regiment will be the person with the lowest rotation level in the whole group, so who else will feel inferior because of their strength?
Do you envy Atiya's background? Okay, although I, Dongfang Chen, can't give you the bloodline of the gods or the title of nobility, I promise to make you famous, and I will definitely find a way to let everyone enter the top circle of the cosmic civilization system, and even break the soil and seal the territory, and achieve a hegemon!
Do you crave artifacts like the Three Realms or Jiuding? No problem, I, Dongfang Chen, will definitely let the God Slaughter Group have a bunch of people in the future, so that you will have a headache when you see the artifact, and use that thing as a ball to kick.
Don't worry, under the leadership of my Dongfang Chen, everyone will be such a strong man in the future, and you will choose the master to be your teacher at will. Even one day, you will be able to make disciples and become legends among the people.
Perhaps, we will go one step further, find the true eternity with my Dongfang Chen, sit on an equal footing with the gods, compete with the sun, moon and stars, and make the entire starry sky tremble in our laughter!
Dongfang Chen's series of longings and thoughts made his face red and his heart beat. He hurriedly took a few deep breaths, trying to calm down his excitement, knowing that what he had just thought was still too far away, and that he needed to be down-to-earth to do great things, and he would first complete a small goal.
Now, he and the deputy head of the regiment have obtained such luxurious sponsorship from Prosis, if this does not allow the partners to thrive and narrow the gap between them, then he is too much of a failure as the head of the regiment.
After a long day of discussion and arrangement, everything was ready, and everyone gathered in the hall in the Palace of Despair.
Prosius didn't talk nonsense, took out the gray-white bead and threw it upward, and the bead floated in the air and trembled rapidly.
It is said that it tremors, but in fact, it is caused by the irregular rotation of the bead at unimaginable speed. After a while, the entire hall began to shake slightly.
As the tremors became more and more violent, the Floating Shadow Hall was activated......
