Chapter 1806: My Words

【Two updates today】

"If Confucius can be canonized as a saint, he would be very powerful indeed. But legend has it that Confucius is actually the incarnation of Yuanshi Tianzun, and I don't know whether it's true or not!" Liu Xu muttered while touching his nose.

That’s right, the strong man just now is our Confucius, but this Confucius is not the Confucius from China, but the Confucius from "World Theory".

People who often write argumentative essays or philosophical works know that when writing such works, they often have to quote some words and stories of predecessors. Just like when writing argumentative essays, they often have to use the words or stories of various great figures from all over the world, ancient and modern, both at home and abroad, to prove the correctness of the ideas they want to express.

It is like every college entrance examination, Edison had to use the shadowless lamp he invented to witness his mother's hundreds of thousands of operations, and Einstein had to boil his watch in a pot of milk tens of thousands of times, and so on. Anyway, it seems that if you don't quote some words and stories from your predecessors, your article will seem not sufficient.

Of course, this is not the specialty of primary and secondary school students. In fact, no matter how many years ago, even those great philosophers who are famous in history would quote the words of their predecessors who are older than them when they wrote.

It is like Zhuangzi wants to create a Kunpeng, Confucius wants to emulate King Wen, and as for the Bible...it is actually more appropriate to say that it is a collection of fairy tales, because it describes all kinds of fairy tales.

Throughout history, the only philosopher who did not quote any allusions or famous sayings in his representative work is probably Lao Tzu's "Tao Te Ching".

Therefore, most of the "Tao Te Ching" cannot be understood.

As for our Liu Xu, when he wrote "World Theory", he was naturally no exception. Even though many of the words and principles were thought up by Liu Xu himself, he could not directly write in the book "There is a wise man named Liu Xu in modern times, who believes that...the principle...is correct."

This looks very uncomfortable, and people will instinctively think that Liu Xu is an arrogant person.

Therefore, when Liu Xu writes about a certain truth, he often modestly states that it is something a famous historical figure once said, or a truth he taught. But the problem is that Liu Xu is either unfamiliar with the historical figures in Gu'an's world, or the ones he is familiar with are more familiar to people in Gu'an's world than Liu Xu. If Liu Xu applies these words to these people and someone finds out there is something wrong with them, it will be a huge joke.

More importantly, if the source of the truth is wrong, how can this truth convince others?
After much thought, Liu Xu created a character named Confucius in his own "World Theory". Liu Xu stated in "World Theory" that Confucius was the master of the great world billions of years ago, but was gradually forgotten as time passed.

When he was young, he once got a strange book called "My Words", which was written by Confucius. It contained many great truths about heaven and earth, which he recorded himself and then applied to his "World Theory".

Unfortunately, the book could never be found again, and he himself could not find any trace of Confucius in the piles of historical papers, but this Confucius definitely existed.

Good guy, in this way Liu Xu has a great sage who will never be exposed and will never be found to have any bad deeds, and he can use this sage's mouth to say things that will never be wrong. So in the whole book "World Theory", there are four or five hundred quotations of famous people in Confucius' "My Words", but only Liu Xu has seen these famous people's quotes, and no one else has seen them at all.

But it is undeniable that as readers of World Theory have finished reading World Theory and almost read My Words, they have great respect for the sincere and holy Confucius in their hearts, and thus a character reflecting Confucius has emerged in their hearts.

It’s just that because this Confucius was completely created by Liu Xu, he is completely different from the many characters that Liu Xu reflected before. He did not develop his own spirituality and will in a short period of time, but his strength is undoubtedly that of the master of the Great Heavenly World.

As for why Liu Xu let this Confucius take the lead instead of reflecting the saint, it was naturally because he was worried that the technological world would discover any clues. After all, the technological world's spies were spread all over the void, and the saint Liu Xu reflected was no different from a real saint. If he really reflected those people, it would not take long for the lackeys of the technological world to kill him.

It is more convenient to use Confucius, who has no background.

As for why Liu Xu was able to reflect this genuine Lord of the Great Thousand Worlds, and even break the attack of the Lord of the Great Heavenly World with just one sentence, it was because during the voyage of more than ten years, Liu Xu had quietly achieved a goal he had set before departure, that is, to break the upper limit of the twenty-fourth heaven among the thirty-three heavens, and give birth to a trace of the world power that originally belonged to the Lord of the Great Heavenly World, that is, the twenty-fifth heaven.

And all this is thanks to our Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin.

Originally, when Liu Xu was writing "Stealing Song", his idea was to use the climax of the plot to allow himself to break through the twenty-fourth heaven and possess a portion of the world power of the Lord of the Great Heaven World.

However, although Liu Xu's idea was good, the progress was far behind. Not only was the progress in Gu An's world very slow, but the plot of the novel "Stealing Song" was also not satisfactory.

Originally, Liu Xu was planning to make an innovation and write the opening of "Stealing Song" into a story like a martial arts novel in the style of Jin Yong's martial arts novels. So he began to incorporate a large number of martial arts sects and internal power techniques, and finally wrote a martial arts world in the late Five Dynasties.

Of course, Liu Xu's creation was not blind. He did not randomly arrange historical figures for the sake of the climax of the plot, because Zhao Kuangyin in history did have an experience of hanging out in the underworld and possessed great power in the underworld. He also organized a large organization in the underworld: the Yishe. Later, he pulled all the masters in the Yishe into his imperial guards and made them low-level officers. Only then did Zhao Kuangyin have his own base.

However, Zhao Kuangyin's strongest point was actually his personal martial arts.

Many people may not believe it, but if we gather all the emperors from ancient times to the present and rank their military strength, there may be endless debate about who are the top three, but the one ranked first must be Zhao Kuangyin.
