Immortals, can people in the mountains be called immortals?

Immortals, in our world, are actually the highest ideal of the scribe class.

Zhuangzi said in "Leisurely Travel": If the husband takes advantage of the righteousness of heaven and earth, and the argument of the six qis, and the one who swims infinitely, he is evil? Therefore, it is said: The man has no self, the god has no merit, and the saint has no name.

The meaning of this sentence is that as for the immortals who conform to the nature of all things in heaven and earth and grasp the changes of the six qis, what else do they need to rely on to wander in the boundless realm? Therefore, it is said that the supreme man has no self, the god has no utility, and the saint has no reputation.

The essence of becoming an immortal is to get rid of firewood, rice, oil and salt, get rid of ten zhang red dust, get rid of birth, old age, sickness and death...... In the end, I didn't even have myself.

It's a pity that this kind of immortal only exists in the imagination of humans in the lower demon world.

Here in the Great Nine Continents, if human beings want to transform themselves into another life form, the resources consumed are extremely huge. Among these resources, there are naturally things that have nothing to do with mortals, but some are closely related to the lowest human beings.

On the surface, the immortal masters don't pretend to beg for "outside", they don't even need ordinary food, so what do they need mortals to do?

Actually, no, just like Jia Feitan, the elder of the Nanli faction, said, the immortals are actually parasites that live on top of human society...... Considering the amount of resources they draw, it's more appropriate to call them vampires.

The reason is very simple, the social class of Middle-earth is a typical pyramid-shaped structure, the higher the number of people, the stronger the ability.

The process of the formation of this pyramid is very natural, and it can be said that there is no bloody rain at all. This was because Middle-earth was a blank slate at the time. There are no intertwined old classes, so there are no entanglements of interests and ruling groups.

After the Battle of the Heavens. The top immortal masters formed the various sects and occupied most of the Yuanshi veins, the immortal masters or cultivators who were one level lower than them returned to the place to fill the power gap there, and the lowest level were the surviving mortals.

But the top-level immortal masters can't survive just by relying on Yuan Shi, even if they can, their disciples' families can't do it, and they have to get resources from the lower classes. The exchange of these resources is naturally Yuanshi.

There are still a large number of cultivators between immortal masters and mortals, and this is because cultivation can truly bring strength and longevity to cultivators, which is bound to make all the elites in society devote themselves to it, and a huge class of full-time or semi-full-time monks has been created.

But in the beginning, these cultivators barely fed back to the mass production of society. At most, they fulfill their obligation to protect their mortals, and they also have to obtain the materials they need to cultivate, survive, and enjoy from the production of mortals.

At the same time, in this world of high magic and high martial arts, the superior can use their own strength to crush the low-level rebels, so this model is so stable that it is almost impossible to change without the intervention of external forces.

The so-called stability means that there is a problem with human society in Chixian Zhongzhou, that is, the mobility between classes is very poor.

But this is not a problem, because the combat power of the people at the bottom is too weak. is like the rice thief led by Peng Modao and his wife. In fact, there are only two options: starvation today or death tomorrow.

"The prince and the prince will have a kind of "can shout in our world, but not in Zhongzhou."

These three classes were actually expanding according to the principle of equal proportions, but as the population increased, the middle cultivator class also began to differentiate.

Many cultivators realized that the path of immortality was not so easy to follow, and it was not so easy to live forever. And the life of himself and his family still has to go on. Therefore, some of them have returned to the mortal world, and have used the immortal arts and skills they have learned to participate in the production of the whole society.

This group of people is actually a local sect force represented by the Eight Heavens Gate. In other words, these cultivators are the current "revolutionary" forces in Middle-earth!

This "revolutionary" lies in the fact that they do not blindly oppress mortals, but instead raise the productivity of the human world to a higher level. At the same time, under their leadership, a commodity economic system was established throughout the Middle Continent.

In other words, they have not only promoted the productive forces, but also straightened out the relations of production. It stands to reason. Such an advanced stratum should become the ruling class of Middle-earth.

It's a pity, this is the world of high magic and high martial arts.

In turn at this time. The immortal masters who are high up in the sky are actually the Yuan stones in their hands that the four god sects can use in exchange for resources.

Therefore, the resources produced by the mortals of the entire Central Continent, as well as the cultivation resources represented by Yuan Shi, were concentrated in this class. This is the reason why the Eight Heavens Gate is in full swing, and it can even faintly suppress the momentum of the Four Gods Sect.

But who are the four gods?

They are not people, they are immortal masters!

The people of the Four Gods are not like the old class rulers in our world who sit on the crater of the volcano and are still unconscious, but the wise and calculating immortal masters. It's okay if they don't care, just pay a little attention and understand the teachings.

In the same way, they are not the clowns who stand in front of the wheel of history and use their mantis arms as a car, these immortals can make this car reroute!

They're smart and powerful, but they're not very lively or cute, so they ......

So I waited for this opportunity, strictly speaking, it was "promoted" this demon god invasion!

So why don't they just flip the whole chessboard and re-cloth?

First, the social cost is too great.

Cutting off people's wealth is like killing their parents, and this is not a matter where people under them can be obedient as long as they are immortal. Moreover, with the Eight Heavens Gate as the local sect and the Four Gods Sect, the interests of the sect are intertwined, that is you have me, I have you, unless there is the "determination" of the artillery party to kill all its grassroots in the 412 Qing Party, it really can't do this.

Second, after getting rid of the Eight Heavens Gate, will the immortal masters of the Four Gods Sect be able to directly control their business?

Obviously not. It's too late for these immortal masters to cultivate, and in the end, they still have to send their disciples and relatives to manage those industries, in fact, to put it bluntly, it is to let the following group of cultivators who have not achieved benefits replace the cultivators with vested interests.

The Immortals also knew that this chain of allegiance, forged by loyalty and blood, was extremely unreliable. Moreover, as mentioned above, the Eight Heavens Gate originally had this relationship with himself.

Where does such a change of soup come from?

The third, and most crucial, is the group of old immortal guys on Kunlun.

Some of them are bent on ascending, and some are avoiding the catastrophe, if this matter is really big, who can guarantee that these powers will definitely sit idly by?

Then it was not the Four Gods Sect that crushed the Eight Heavens Gate, but that he was crushed by his Kunlun predecessors.

In addition to the above three, the upper echelons of the Four Gods are not so small-bellied characters, and they also have a macro source, that is, to expand the "living space" outward.

They don't know what the "Malthusian trap" is, that the population grows in a geometric progression, and the means of subsistence only grow in an arithmetic progression, and that the additional population always has to be eliminated in some way, and the population cannot be developed at a corresponding level of agriculture.

But they knew that there was always a limit to the carrying capacity of resources, whether it was the survival resources of mortals or the cultivation resources of immortal masters. After three hundred years of recuperation, this upper limit awaits all humans here in the near future.

If you don't unite the human race and march to the other eight continents now, you will eat and wait for death in the middle continent, and after you finally consume the cultivation resources including the Yuan Stone, then it will inevitably lead to large-scale civil strife.

Instead of sitting back and waiting, it's better to give it a go!

They have such a vision realm because they are mortal immortals who can even predict the future. And the obstacle in front of them is the local sects in Central Continent that are "small wealth is peace".

Therefore, the Four Gods Sect, which was supposed to monitor and suppress the demon gods and gods outside Middle-earth, completely ignored the changes of the demon gods this time, and even consciously introduced the forces established by the demon gods, such as Taiping Dao, into Middle-earth.

What these immortal masters have to do now is to let the demon gods act as a precursor for them, and it is best to have a lose-lose situation with the local sects that hinder their big plans.

When the time comes, they will be able to unite all the forces of humanity as saviors, and expand outward under the slogan of revenge.

This is the joint decision of the top brass of the Four Gods Sect!
