Li Jialing looked out the window at the rows of disabled veterans who came forward to bow and lay flowers.
He clenched his fists and said, "This will definitely not be the case in the era of Black Star Emperor Wu Yingqi."
"It's all the same."
Li Yaodao said, "If we say that in the era of Black Star Emperor Wu Yingqi, there was not so much corruption and intrigue among the immortal cultivators, and if the immortal cultivators were not as 'selfish and morally corrupt' as they are today, then that was not the case back then.
The 'moral standards' of cultivators were relatively high simply because the empire was still in its pioneering stage and could devour the interests of newly conquered areas from all directions to ease internal conflicts.
“The vigorous vitality of a country like the True Human Empire must be based on its ever-accelerating expansion.
When it stops expanding, various internal conflicts will erupt, causing the empire to irreversibly decline.
"The empire has been corrupted to the extent it is today.
It is already terminally ill and there is no cure.
Any 'innovation' only treats the symptoms but not the root cause.
It can at most remove the cancer on the body, but it is impossible to change the defects deep in the genes.
Let alone Li Linghai and Lei Now that he has become a tiger, even if Black Star Emperor Wu Yingqi is reborn, how can he heal this country?"
"If you really want to reborn and regenerate the empire, you must make the most thorough refutation and denial of the path of cultivating immortality of 'the weak eats the strong, and the king becomes the king and loses the bandits'.
Here comes the question.
Without the guidance of the path of cultivating immortality, a true human empire can still be regarded as a 'real human being'" Empire'?
Which immortal cultivator can endure such a devastating reconstruction of his own fundamental mind?"
Li Jialing thought deeply for a long time: "Is it necessary to do this?
Is there no other way?"
"It has to be so."
Li Yao said seriously, "Survival is the first instinct of life.
As long as the path to immortality adheres to the law of 'the weak eats the strong, the winner is the king and the loser is the enemy', in order to survive, everyone will be driven by instinct to use all resources on themselves and consume them."
In the meaningless internal struggle, even if it is not used temporarily, it is secretly hidden for emergencies, and it will never be invested in the public, national, civilization and external struggle.
This is not about the "optimal allocation of resources" Woolen cloth?"
Li Jialing frowned, shook his head and said: "Having said that, is the Dao of Cultivation better?
Under the guidance of the Dao of Cultivation, cultivators will be able to maintain extremely high moral standards and fight for the public wholeheartedly.
Will there be no solidification of classes and huge interest groups?
If so, the Star Sea Republic will not be destroyed, and the Firefly will not be destroyed!"
"You're right.
I don't want to lie.
Regardless of whether they are cultivators or immortal cultivators, they are all human beings.
As long as they are human beings, human instincts, desires and flaws are all present.
Everything that happens in the True Human Empire today, tomorrow...
It also happened yesterday on the Star Sea Republic and the Firefly, and even led to the destruction of both."
Li Yao fell into deep thought and murmured, "But I still want to believe that, at least, in a country where the mainstream ideas of 'the strong help the weak, the weak feed back to the strong, the strong and the weak work side by side to support each other' etc."
In our society, people do not have such strong motivations to strengthen themselves at the expense of the interests of the whole.
Since the whole is the strongest backing and warmest support of the individual, then we must first invest our interests in the whole and strengthen the whole before considering it.
It's not against human nature, right?
"If you still can't understand it, just construct the simplest social model.
In this model, the entire society is highly compressed and simplified, with only two people and one resource.
"One of them is you.
You are not sure whether you are a cultivator or an immortal cultivator.
You can flexibly switch between the two strategies of cultivating truth and cultivating immortality.
"The other person is a master whose strength is far superior to yours, but he is now seriously injured and urgently needs this resource to recover.
"Naturally, this resource is now in your hands, who are strong and healthy.
If you choose to consume this resource yourself, you can increase your strength by 10 points, and it is very likely that another master who is seriously injured will Die immediately.

"But if you give resources to this seriously injured master, after he recovers, his strength can be increased by 100 points.
"By the way, besides you two, there are also various threats in this world.
The stronger your overall strength is, the more likely you are to survive in a world full of crises.
"Here comes the question.
In the first case, if you know that this seriously injured master is a ruthless immortal cultivator who believes in the concept of 'the weak eat the strong, the strong are respected, the winner takes all, the winner takes all'," would you be willing to Give him this precious resource to fully restore his strength, but your strength is only one-fifth or even one-tenth of his?
"In the second case, if you knew for sure that this seriously injured expert was a cultivator who had fought for the weak countless times, how would you choose?
Give resources to yourself to maximize your individual combat effectiveness; or give them to him.
Maximize your team’s combat effectiveness?”
Li Jialing's eyes rolled around and around, his fists were clenched and loosened, loosened and clenched again.
After a long time, he breathed a sigh of relief and said with difficulty: "I can't lie.
In the first case , I will keep all the resources to myself, regardless of whether this master dies or not; in the second case, I will most likely give the resources to this master, since he will probably protect me after he regains his strength.
"However, in the first situation, there is another option.
If this resource can be divided, then I will divide the resource, a large part for myself, a small part for this master, let He has recovered a little and is still a little weaker than me, but he can still play a little role."
"It's all the same."
Li Yao said calmly, "No matter how many resources you allocate to this immortal cultivator, your team's combat effectiveness has not been maximized.
In other words, the 'optimal allocation of resources' has not been achieved.
"Not to mention, if you give this seriously injured immortal cultivator a little bit of resources, he may not be grateful to you, and he may even be angry with you for your stinginess.
In the next battle together, the two of them will have to scheming and guarding against each other, waiting for external threats.
When you show up, you get angry first, right?”
Li Jialing was stunned for a moment and said: "Yes, yes, but in the second case, who can guarantee that this cultivator will get all the resources and regain his strength, and he will be able to protect the weak.
What if his mentality changes?
You broke the mask of hypocrisy at the critical moment and abandoned me?"
"Probability, everything has probability.
I didn't say that in the second case, the strategy of giving all resources to this master cultivator must be correct.
I can only say that such a strategy will maximize the chance of survival, so That’s all.”
Li Yao put his hands on the window frame and looked at the statue of the Black Star Emperor Wu Yingqi opposite in the slanting wind and drizzle.
A shameless one It only takes a moment to harm others, but a real villain has been spraying venom every second, 24 hours a day, 24 hours a day, using all kinds of conspiracies, and doing everything possible to harm others and benefit himself.
He has to choose one as his partner.
Even a fool knows how to do it.
Choose!”
Li Jialing frowned and said, "What exactly does Brother Yao want to say?"
Li Yaodao: "What I want to say is that in any small-scale world, if your companion is a cultivator, then no matter how kind-hearted, morally noble, or selfless you are, it is useless.
Based on the instinct of survival, your only The strategy is to quickly turn yourself into an immortal cultivator.
It is best to be a cultivator who is colder, more cruel, and more cunning than the other party.
At least you must reach a 'balance of terror' between each other, so that you are safe enough.
The cooperative relationship between them can also be temporarily stable.
"But in this way, the world of immortal cultivators composed of you immortal cultivators cannot achieve the 'optimum allocation of resources' as boasted.
On the contrary, under the most ideal conditions, it can exert 100 points of combat effectiveness.
In the survival of your intrigues and intrigues, Under the game, only 10 points can be used.
"I want to call this phenomenon the 'immortal cultivator's dilemma'.
The entire true human empire is currently in a huge 'immortal cultivator's dilemma', so that even though it has the richest and most abundant resources in the center of the star sea, it has not been able to Even the little holy alliance with no creativity in a corner of the star sea cannot be eliminated.
"In the second social form, if your companion is a cultivator, you will also have a great chance of transforming into a cultivator and make more selfless actions, such as giving precious resources to the other party first. , because you know that this is a reliable investment.
After the other party recovers from his injury, he will definitely collect more resources to repay you.
"Such a positive incentive and feedback will make the two of you become more and more selfless and united.
In the end, you will be able to achieve the 'optimal allocation of resources' and output the most powerful overall combat effectiveness."

Bar?"
Li Jialing tilted his head and thought for a long time: "It seems so."
"Of course it is, isn't there a living example right in front of us?"
Li Yao shouted, "In the past, you were a muddle-headed little devil who couldn't tell the difference between good and evil.
You tried every means to disguise yourself and killed bloody people without blinking an eye.
You were the best 'immortal cultivator', but ever since I met Brother Yao, I have become so arrogant."
Kindness, Tao As a cultivator with noble virtues and full integrity, you were unknowingly influenced by my majestic personality, and you actually learned to look at the world with the way of thinking of a cultivator, and gradually transformed in the direction of a cultivator.
Isn't this the most important thing?
Good proof?
"So, as long as everyone gives a little love, the universe will become a better tomorrow.
Although the path of cultivation seems a bit outdated and desolate now, given time, it will become the mainstream in the center of the star sea again!
Only cultivation Only the great road can save the empire.
If we really want to 'renovate the empire' and give birth to a 'new empire', it should not be the new empire of Li Linghai and Lei Chenghu, but the new empire of all people cultivating truth!"
