Chapter 1724 If God loves the world, why does He let people struggle between life and death?
Chapter 1724 If God loves the world, why does He let people struggle between life and death?
Ordinary group owner: "There is nothing we can do. This is the historical background."
Ordinary group leader: "Only a few are qualified to receive education, and even fewer are those who pursue the truth."
Ordinary group leader: "After all, these truths are not tested in the imperial examinations."
Ordinary group leaders: "I dislike your unorthodox methods and tricks."
Ordinary group leader: "It's not so much that they regard you as a heretic, but rather that you are a heretic in the eyes of those in high positions."
Ordinary group leader: "Because ordinary people don't have time to care whether you are a heretic or not."
Su Yunqing shook his head at this.
Although this saying is very realistic, people are indeed different.
In the previous life, almost everyone received nine years of compulsory education, but in the end there were still many people whose thinking ability was completely different from that of normal people. They were just able to take care of themselves, so they were regarded as normal people.
This was the case even for countries in the past that basically did not have to worry about having enough food and clothing, let alone the ancient dynasties.
You can't expect a group of people who have trouble surviving to pursue and believe in the truth.
The Moon Worshiper's gaze slowly swept across the group leader's words, and a hint of thought flashed in his eyes.
He stood quietly for a long time, and finally sighed softly. There was no anger in his voice, only shame and self-reflection for his own mistakes.
"I see."
"I certainly missed that."
“The people are not ignorant, but they are trapped by survival. When a person cannot even have enough food and clothing, it is indeed a luxury to think about the truth of heaven and earth.”
"They pray to God, not because they are stupid, but because they have no other choice."
He raised his head slightly, but then thought of those who worshipped in front of the Nuwa Temple and the people who died in the troubled times. He was silent for a moment and murmured to himself:
"So, what is the so-called 'love'?"
"If God loves the world, why does he let people struggle between life and death? If there is mercy in the world, why does suffering never stop?"
He thought about it and confirmed his answer again.
“Perhaps, ‘love’ has never existed. It is just an illusion that the weak use to deceive themselves, and a lie that the strong use to appease others.”
"And the real truth..."
"It is power, it is order, it is a world where all living beings no longer need to pray to the gods, no longer need to worry about having enough food and clothing, no longer need to focus on the imperial examinations to satisfy the desires of those in power, and suppress their own talents. Instead, they can devote all their energy to the careers they love and still survive."
The Moon Worshiper realized the error in his past ideas. He misjudged the ignorance of mortals, but he did not misjudge the nature of this world.
Farmers kneeling to worship the gods, students studying hard to learn the books of sages, and disaster victims exchanging their children for food.
They really have no choice.
In this cannibalistic world, thinking about the truth is a luxury, and focusing on one's own interests and talents is even more of a pipe dream.
But precisely because of this, the world needs to be reshaped even more.
Use gentle means to change this deeply rooted system?
How can a thousand-year-old code of ethics and ten-thousand-year-old shackles be broken by mere reforms?
Since the old world is already terminally ill, let everything return to chaos. There will be no hunger and oppression in the new world, and new life will not have to give up thinking for survival, nor kneel down to the empty gods.
The eyes of the Moon Worshiper became increasingly clear, a kind of calmness that came from seeing through the truth.
Originally he wanted to use the power of Nuwa's descendants to achieve his goal, but now it seems that his idea ten years ago is more suitable.
“This is true love.”
"Ding, the group leader uploaded a copy of the memory."
Ordinary group leader: "@Baiyuejiaozhu, I uploaded a copy of your memory."
Ordinary group owner: "Although I think you are a little too extreme, if you really want to do it, we won't stop you."
Ordinary group owner: "But I hope you can think seriously, especially read all the memory copies in the chat group before doing what you want to do, know what the civilizations of other worlds are like, and how to change your world to be like that."
Ordinary group leader: "Everything is actually due to the underdeveloped civilization."
Ordinary group owner: "For you who have joined the chat group, it is not impossible to change. At least it does not require the destruction of the world."
Su Yunqing didn't know that because of his words, although the Moon Worshiper's view of the people had changed, he was more certain of his belief that "true love does not exist in this world", and his idea of destroying the world to restore it to its original state and then creating it again.
She just hoped that the Moon Worshiper could finish reading the memory copies of herself and other members in the chat group first, see what the world of the members in other worlds was like, and then use the power of the chat group to change his own world.
Gradually, he makes the world he lives in become what he wants it to be.
Although Li Xiaoyao and his colleagues' worldview of "taking love as the core of belief and relying on divine revelation and faith" is not correct, the absolute rationalism of the Moon Worshiping Leader that completely denies the value of emotions is absolutely wrong.
The complete illusion of "love" in his childhood led him to lock himself in the cold fortress of absolute rationality, and construct an exclusive "truth" system with "human nature is evil" as its core.
His lifelong search for "truth" is doomed to be a source of destruction due to its distorted premise.
However, it is not difficult to change. Of course, it is not easy either.
If he could develop his world to the level of the modern world in all aspects, he would have basically solved most of the problems. And because he is the strongest "force" to change the world, his ideas will become people's main ideas, that is, the world where scientific researchers who "pursue truth" are most admired.
This "scientific research" is definitely not limited to one aspect. In the eyes of the Moon Worshiper, the "truth" is very broad, and all "knowledge" that he considers valuable is a kind of truth.
With the help of the chat group, it is not difficult for him to do this. After all, he has the potential to unify the world with his strength, wisdom, leadership and eloquence.
After taking control, reform will naturally become easier.
Possessing magical powers, he doesn't need to worry about things like "the loyalty of his subordinates". Moreover, with a chat group, he can also purchase all modern technologies and even instill the corresponding knowledge into his subordinates' minds.
If he can develop his world to a level close to that of angelic civilization in the future, then the world he wants will basically be realized.
Ordinary group owner: "Of course, how to do it is up to you."
Ordinary group owner: "But if you really want to destroy the world, it might be a bit troublesome."
Ordinary group leader: "After all, your world may not only be the mortal world."
However, Su Yunqing was not sure about this. Considering that The Legend of Sword and Fairy 1 and 3 were in the same world view, the heaven and the demon world might still exist.
They may not necessarily watch the Moon Worshiper destroy the world.
Moon Worshiper: "Thank you for your reminder."
Moon Worshiper: "I will decide on my plan after understanding the chat group and the world of other group members."
The Moon Worshiper did not refute the group leader's words. He respected anyone who knew the truth, especially when he felt that the group leader had gone further than him in the pursuit of "truth."
So he will, as he said, seriously understand the power of the chat group and the world of other group members, understand their backgrounds, and decide whether his plans need to be modified.
Then, according to the information instilled by the chat group, he opened his memory copy and looked inside.
The same goes for other group members.
After a long time.
Yan Di: "How should I put it? It seems right, but there are some problems."
Emperor Yan: "What supports the Moon Worshiper is his pursuit of truth and his desire to change the world, but what supports Li Xiaoyao and others is love."
Yan Di: "It's not that love is wrong, but using love to fight against reason, or to fight against science, always feels a bit weird."
If you say that both sides are right, it seems that is not entirely true, but if you say that both sides are wrong, that is not the case either.
It was a battle between two extreme ideologies. Although Li Xiaoyao and his friends won in the end and defeated the Moon Worshiper with "Infinite Love", they were unable to convince him.
The richest man in the lighthouse: "It's actually not difficult to understand."
Lighthouse Richest Man: "Although Baiyue pursues the truth, the truth he pursues is not only partly the objective laws of the universe, but more of it is actually rooted in his personal trauma, through his own observations and feelings, and his extreme cognition of the evil nature of human beings and the laws governing the operation of the world."
The richest man in the lighthouse: "This 'truth' is closed, exclusive, and unquestionable."
The Lighthouse’s Richest Man: “If the world in other people’s eyes is one of God, love, destiny and faith, then the world of moon worship is de-mythologized, loveless, and only recognizes cold laws and power.”
The richest man in the lighthouse: "It may seem a bit absolute, but it is roughly true."
Xiao Yan’s opinion was actually similar to his. Generally speaking, neither side thought that the Moon Worshiper was a villain. Of course, many people did die because of him, so he was not innocent in this regard.
They just look at the whole picture, not just one aspect.
In his opinion, in a fairy world with a historical background and the existence of immortals, gods and cultivation systems, the Moon Worshiper, as the one who holds power and authority, would actually choose to pursue the truth and even go so far as to verify alone the fact that the land under his feet is round, which is unacceptable to others.
His spirit itself has its own value. Whether it is questioning the past sages or exploring the world, it has extremely high value. Just for this reason alone, he can be remembered forever.
But he takes "denial of love" as a premise and regards the conclusions drawn from personal trauma as universal truths, which makes his ideas and practices appear particularly extreme.
Why does his existence seem out of place in the world he lives in?
It is not only because he does not believe in "love" and pursues truth in a world that advocates "love", but also because his absolute rationalism that completely denies the value of emotions is in fundamental conflict with a worldview that takes love as the core of belief and relies on divine revelation and faith.
He was a lonely explorer, a scarred idealist, and ultimately a tragic figure who was swallowed up by his own distorted "truth".
Can the "truth" without love still be called truth? Is the end of pure reason the desert of humanity?
Of course, for him as a scientist, truth is truth and will not change because of so-called emotions. Reason and humanity themselves are not equal. At least for God, Their reason must be higher than Their humanity. Otherwise, what is the difference between them and humans?
He just felt that part of the truth that Baiyue pursued was not "truth", but just his wrong perception of the world due to his distorted emotions.
Umaru-chan: "In fact, the purpose of the Moon Worshiper is just to create a beautiful world, right?"
Umaru-chan: "Destroying the world is his worst plan."
Umaru-chan: "Originally, he wanted to use the power of Nuwa's descendants to achieve this, but Li Xiaoyao and the others couldn't understand him."
Umaru-chan: "He had no choice but to do this."
This is how Koumako felt after reading the memory copy. If Li Xiaoyao and the others could understand what the Moon Worshiper said, maybe they could just say no, no, no, no.
The Moon Worshiper's emotions are somewhat twisted, and it is impossible to know what kind of country the Moon Worshiper's so-called beautiful country is.
What if it’s great for the Moon Worshiper but not so great for the common people?
Hmm? A wonderful country?
Umaru-chan: "I suddenly feel that the idea of the Moon Worshiper is a bit like the Infinite Moon Reading."
Umaru-chan: "It's just that the Infinite Tsukuyomi makes everyone fall into a beautiful dream, a world centered on themselves; while the Moon Worshiper wants to create a world that he thinks is beautiful."
Ordinary group leader: "I can only say that the value of Infinite Tsukuyomi is still rising."
Ordinary group leader: "Who said that this infinite Tsukuyomi is bad? Infinite Tsukuyomi is so good."
Ordinary group leader: "What's wrong with spending your life in a fantasy world? Isn't a world that is exactly the same as the real world in a sense the real world?"
Su Yunqing also sighed.
Really, the more of the world I see and the more I experience, the more I feel that Infinite Tsukuyomi is truly an ability that is sufficient to resolve all disputes and conflicts in the world.
Although it is an illusion, as she said, an illusion that is no different from reality is, in a sense, equivalent to a second real world.
At least in the world of Infinite Tsukuyomi, everyone can live their life happily and fulfillingly in the way they want.
The only thing that needs to be considered is reproduction and the training of the next generation.
However, considering that the Infinite Tsukuyomi can even modify memory, this is actually not a big problem. The technology tree in the ninja world is so crooked, who can be sure that there is no base number for artificially bred babies?
If it really doesn't work, isn't there still Senju Tobirama?
