Chapter 1970 Summer insects cannot talk about ice!

Fengzhi was stunned by what Li Changsheng said.

Seeing Li Changsheng's righteous and indignant demeanor, Fengzhi's anger began to surge.

The reason he was angry was not because Li Changsheng had contradicted him, but because the guy had acted too quickly.

Even if we're both exceptional individuals, we shouldn't sell ourselves so cheaply!

Seeing that the two sides were about to come to blows, Meng De immediately said, "Seniors, please calm down. We can discuss the cooperation slowly."

"Let's discuss the live stream now."

With Mengde stepping in to smooth things over, Fengzhi and Li Changsheng gradually gave up.

"Eighteen billion divine resources just to invite me to do a live stream? Your Five Tigers Group is too rich."

"I feel unworthy of such a high price!"

In response to Meng De's words, Li Changsheng slowly replied with a single sentence.

It was obvious that Li Changsheng had no interest in the Divine Source; he would much rather join the Five Tigers Group.

Seeing this, Meng De naturally understood Li Changsheng's meaning.

"I understand what you mean, senior, but I don't have much capital right now."

“If you don’t help me, I will be eliminated by the virtual world before long.”

Upon hearing this, Long Aotian glanced at Meng De and said, "As the leader of the Five Tigers Group, you will also be eliminated?"

"Senior Aotian, please don't make fun of me. Everyone knows what's really going on with me being the head of the Five Tigers Group."

"I'm currently enjoying great luck and fame, but if I don't seize the opportunity, I'll soon fade into obscurity."

Upon receiving this answer, Long Aotian said directly, "Since everyone knows the answer, there's no need to beat around the bush."

"The divine source isn't very useful to people like us."

"What we need are resources and the power to control a region."

"If you can give us these things, we wouldn't mind helping you out."

Upon hearing Long Aotian's words, Meng De nodded slightly, then gestured for everyone to go to the pavilion to the side.

After everyone was seated, Mengde took out the tea set and began to brew tea.

"Since I came into contact with the virtual world, I have become even more obsessed with reading the history books of imperial tutors."

"I've heard that the Imperial Tutor brews a pot of tea whenever there's an important event. Today, I'll brew some tea and discuss the state of the world with you all."

As he spoke, Mengde handed several cups of hot tea to everyone.

Looking at the hot tea in his cup, Zhang Ling said calmly, "We were also discussing the general trend of the world a few days ago."

"But after discussing it, we realized that we seemed to have no other way to go but to forge ahead."

"Now you've invited us to discuss the state of the world, do you perhaps have some different insights?"

Facing Zhang Ling's gaze, Meng De smiled slightly and said, "I know that you seniors look down on me, which is only natural."

"After all, in terms of background, talent, and strategy, I am no match for any of you here."

"In the end, Meng was just a nobody who hit the jackpot."

"But have you all considered that although I am a nobody, my perspective on things is different from yours?"

"Perhaps seeing the world from my perspective will have a different effect."

Upon hearing this, Fengzhi raised an eyebrow and asked, "What are the effects? Can you explain in detail?"

Upon hearing this, Mengde casually conjured a pyramid-shaped figure on the table.

"As you can see, the status of cultivators is roughly like this diagram."

"The higher you climb, the fewer people are standing at that level."

"According to the traditional cultivation world's philosophy, those in high positions can control all the resources in the world, so many cultivators are desperately trying to climb up."

"Is there anything wrong?"

After glancing at the diagram on the table, Long Aotian casually asked a question.

Seeing this, Mengde smiled and said, "In our philosophy, this is correct, but in the Imperial Tutor's philosophy, this behavior is very abnormal."

"From a mortal's perspective, the truly effective way to control an empire is to control its resources, and specifically, the resources that are essential to all living beings."

"If you control these resources, you can control an empire to some extent."

"That's right!"

Listening to Meng De's analysis, Li Changsheng nodded in agreement.

Immediately afterwards, he pointed with his right hand, and the graphic that Mengde had condensed instantly collapsed.

"Reason is reason, reality is reality, and force is the fastest way to destroy everything."

"This is true in the mortal world, and it is also true in the cultivation world."

"As expected of a senior, your words are indeed insightful, but you are discussing macro-level issues."

"What I am discussing today is only the current issue."

"If we approach this from this perspective, do you senior students have any new ideas?"

Upon hearing this, Li Changsheng and the others were all stunned for a moment.

After a couple of breaths, Li Changsheng nodded slightly and said, "That makes sense. If we look at it from this perspective, our viewpoint is indeed flawed."

"You were able to calmly analyze the situation in the face of such a great opportunity in the virtual world; your mind is indeed very steady."

"You can't talk about ice with a summer insect, that's interesting!"

Feng Zhi nodded slightly, then waved her hand to reconstitute a shape and said, "You can't talk about ice with a summer insect; that means people with limited vision."

"But if we take a longer view, aren't we just like the 'summer insects' of the cultivation world?"

"For summer insects, the short summer is their entire life; for us, a single era may also be our entire life."

“The most powerful figures in the cultivation world can indeed dominate everything, but they are not madmen who are causing destruction at any time.”

"If we lived our entire lives in a time of peace, we could consider this moment as eternal."

"Peace will always exist, and the way the world is controlled will naturally change."

As she spoke, Fengzhi turned the graphic upside down.

"Basic resources determine everything. Whoever controls the vast majority of basic resources is the supreme ruler of this era."

"Is this what you meant?"

Facing Fengzhi's gaze, Mengde smiled happily and said, "That's right, that's exactly what I meant."

"The Imperial Tutor used this concept when he was building the Tianyuan World."

"But at that time, the Eternal Life Era was in the midst of war, so the development of the Tianyuan World was somewhat distorted."

"But if we can eliminate external interference and re-examine the development of the Tianyuan World, we will find that the Tianyuan World is too similar to the virtual world."

"The so-called virtual world is nothing more than a larger and more comprehensive Tianyuan world."

"Hasn't the history books already provided the answer on how to gain a foothold in the Tianyuan World?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Changsheng and the others closed their eyes and pondered deeply.

After a long while, Li Changsheng opened his eyes and sighed, "Indeed, this plan is brilliant!"
