Chapter 185: Sermon (2)
Then he asked, "Why are they so different, corroborating each other, and even contradictory, but they can all guide a civilization to this point?"
"I also want to ask, which of these contradictions is right and which is wrong, or is it all right and wrong? Or, who is more right and who is less?"
He threw out a series of questions in a short period of time, each of which was so poignant that it touched on one of the deepest questions that many in the Templars had been thinking about in the first place.
Yes, in the face of all kinds of [world laws] with such great differences, which is right and which is wrong?
Emperor Xuanyuan didn't sell Guanzi either, and said directly:
Therefore, the [Law of the World] is not born in the world, nor is it given by the Tao or the pole.
The Tao has a thousand faces, or it can be said to be faceless, and it does not stipulate the five elements of yin and yang, nor does it stipulate the six elements.
The "laws of the world" are the explanations given by civilization itself in order to understand the world.
When a civilization collectively obeys an interpretation, the laws of the world are born.
The Tao is like a special mirror, you give him an explanation, and the world presents you with that explanation. β
"Shhhh
Everyone gasped, this is really outrageous.
The most fundamental law of the world, the way of the five elements of yin and yang, is defined by people?
If a person defines the five elements of yin and yang, the world will give you the five elements of yin and yang, if that person defines six elements and seven elements, will the world also be based on this?
What laws do you want the world to have, and what laws do you want the world to have?
Great Elder Linghu couldn't help but want to open his mouth to debate with Emperor Xuanyuan.
Emperor Xuanyuan waved his hand and stopped: "Don't debate now, let me finish what I have to say." β
Great Elder Linghu suppressed the impulse in his heart, nodded, and sat there in a proper manner.
"Different worlds meet because they have a desire to grow, forming a special force for them to meet each other. That is to say, each other can be nourishment for each other and a step for each other's growth.
If World A successfully absorbs the essence of World B, then World A will continue to grow, and vice versa. β
"This is the most naked survival of the fittest, the stronger and more potential civilization is stronger, going farther, and the weaker and lower potential civilization becomes the nourishment of the other side. β
"So, what we are most concerned about is which is stronger and which is weaker, and how to determine whether it is about each other's cultivation and combat effectiveness? Is there a number of strong people in the entire civilization?
This may be one aspect, but it is the least important one. β
"In my opinion, the contest between different worlds, the contest between individuals and even countries and races is secondary, and the most important and decisive thing is the contest between different [world laws].
That is, a struggle for the right to interpret the world!"
"The so-called strength and weakness, the so-called potential size, is which world law is more inclusive and more growth-oriented. β
"We should understand that although the law of the world is defined by civilization, once it is formed, it is the foundation that cannot be tampered with, because it has become the law of the world.
It's not that you think that the law system of another world has great potential, but you can use it as an important supplement to this world, which has to be "filtered" by the existing world laws. β
If the high-level of Terrewen were here, they would definitely feel the same way, not to mention the law system of another world, that is, it was so difficult for the knights who belonged to the Tyrewen world to be branded into the law level, not to mention the law path of the other world.
Emperor Xuanyuan returned to the original topic: "I said that the Xuanyuan civilization is special, and it is special here.
As a very simple example, is it possible if we and Terriwen are completely open to each other's roots, and they have a full grasp of all our knowledge based on the five elements of yin and yang?...... And what about us learning from them?
I remember that the Sanctuary has already achieved several great achievements during this time, and I can use the [Instantaneous Step] of the teleportation of the interlayer like a magician, learn from their meditation methods to improve the use of spiritual power and telekinesis, and use their magic casting skills to improve the ability of [True Qi Realm] True Qi to interfere with reality. β
The people in the Templar gasped again, they were all immersed in the joy of absorbing the essence of the Terrywen civilization and strengthening the Xuanyuan civilization.
And this level of exploration and research is the Templar's favorite thing.
While absorbing the essence of Terreyn, they were still lamenting the greatness of this civilization, but they never realized that there was anything wrong with their ability to absorb it.
Murthea still sat with her back on her back, but she no longer looked up at the sky forty-five degrees, and bowed her head, as if she had fallen into deep thought.
Liuhong sat next to her and couldn't help but ask, "Is that so?"
These days, under the "enlightenment" of several ladies in Liuhong, as long as fundamental principles are not involved, Murthea has been able to communicate normally.
She said: "Yes, I have seen many meridian acupoint theories from that county order, and I also know a few martial arts techniques, and I can also try to interpret them with your yin and yang five elements, but in my body, I can't cultivate it." β
Speaking of this, her voice became a little weak, but soon she said as if not to be outdone:
"However, your yin and yang five elements system can also be incorporated into our six elements of earth, water, fire, scenery, and darkness, which can make our elemental system more perfect.
And your martial arts can also be incorporated into the knight's system, so that the knight's growth potential and combat ability have been greatly improved!"
Liuhong grasped the key point, hit the key point, and said, "But it will take more time, and besides, it will definitely get rid of a lot of content that is not compatible with your elemental system, right?"
Murthea was silent.
"Why is this? Could it be that our Yin and Yang Five Elements System is more perfect than other systems?" Many people had new doubts in their hearts.
Emperor Xuanyuan smiled: "Leave this question to you to think about for yourself." β
But he thought in his heart, this is not that the Yin and Yang Five Elements System is more high-end than the element system, but the Xuanyuan Civilization that has been changed by the Taizong Holy Ancestor Demon, and the Yin and Yang Five Elements System is just a layer of skin, but it is not the most root.
He couldn't help but think of the books on the top twenty floors of the Hidden Scripture Pavilion, in fact, there were already many works that had long gone beyond the scope of the Yin and Yang Five Elements system.
He was confident that the Templars would react quickly if he clicked here.
He thought proudly that in the bones of our Xuanyuan civilization, it is not the difference between the yin and yang five elements system and the non-yin and yang five elements system, but the difference between the knowable system and the unknowable system.
We can know that what our wisdom allows us to know, that this boundary is much higher than the yin-yang system, the elemental system, or some other system.
To put it simply, as long as the Xuanyuan civilization can understand, it can be included in the absorption, and for the civilizations of Terrewen, this can only be absorbed after being filtered by the [World Laws] formulated by them.
......
At the beginning of the birth of any native civilization, it will inevitably form a set of systems for interpreting the world, and will reverently believe in it.
Through the efforts of countless wisdom and sages, when a perfect and self-consistent system of interpretation takes shape, the laws of the world are born.
And this world law has become the cognitive boundary of this civilization, if he wants to absorb the nutrients of the outside world, he must go through the filter of this set of world laws, absorb what can be absorbed, and discard what cannot be absorbed.
different systems of interpretation, i.e., the laws of the world,
Some can absorb more and be more inclusive;
Others have to get rid of more and have a stronger rejection.
This fundamentally determines the growth potential of different worlds.
In the face of such a contest, how many masters and strong people have been born in different systems because of this are all minor details.
And to extend the boundaries of the laws of the world to the level of "knowable and unknowable", it is necessary to have a vision beyond the limitations of civilization at the beginning of civilization - isn't this a paradox?
