My hero is myself

Instead, it is replaced by a broader and broader sense of civilizational identity.

Identify the values ​​of the Hero Continent and are willing to support heroic concepts such as enterprising, self-motivated, seeking knowledge, the ambition not to compete with others, and sacrificing the individual to achieve the development of civilization.

"People" in this sense are not distinguished by their appearance.

Only by breaking away from the constraints of biological primitive hormonal desires and pursuing dreams as the fundamental pursuit can we break away from the category of human beings and be called "human beings".

To be honest, if the definition of "human" were not expanded in this way, awakened persons above the fourth level would have broken away from the limitations of the body and become regular and abstract high-dimensional existences.

They will slowly separate from the society they belong to, lose their sense of identity, and over a long period of time, their thoughts will transform into inhuman beings...

Ancient gods were not necessarily inherently evil.

But under the erosion of time, they will naturally lose their human side, and only "Tao" is the ultimate pursuit.

Such changes in thinking, in the eyes of all living beings, are naturally indifferent, cruel, and crazy.

In fact, there is no pure good or evil in the eyes of such beings. Everything is just the price of finding a path.

If necessary, they will even pay their own share of the cost.

The pioneers of the Awakened have seen too many stories like this, and they don't want to become such a seeking machine.

Therefore, they agreed to establish an idealized group as an "anchor" to slow down their mental corrosion as much as possible.

This is what the Alliance of Awakeners means to those powerful beings of level four and above.

When they feel lonely and the road ahead is difficult, they can still find companions and maintain mental stability as much as possible.

At the same time, they are also willing to spread the bright and positive side throughout the world ocean, so that all "people" have the qualification to dream.

This is a way of thinking that is antithetical to the dark forest.

Advanced civilization is not about guarding against technological mutations of backward civilization, but about having enough self-confidence.

From technical to cultural confidence.

I help you make breakthroughs. When you reach a certain stage, you will definitely join the ocean of light that I long for.

Such a society can be called a "dream-driven society."

Comparing Kyushu and all eras on earth, it can be called a "desire-driven society."

In the slave era and the feudal era, the greatest desire was survival.

In order to overcome the harsh natural environment, individuals must establish large and small collectives. The larger the collective, the greater the risk it can resist.

There is unfairness in the collective, but as long as the safety is greater than the wilderness, the collective can survive.

It can be said that the rulers are holding the lives of ordinary people in their hands. If they leave this system and enter the wilderness, the probability of death will increase.

Later, with the development of technology, food production increased and industrialization began, materials became more abundant and the difficulty of survival continued to decrease.

In this era, what drives people's work is commodities, comparison, and luxurious life. Advertising and publicity create the life you should have.

They even provoke confrontation and hate each other to forcefully create a demand gap.

This is artificially creating differences and scarcity, hoping that everyone will endure excess labor for the sake of a "standardized" life.

This standard is constantly changing.

On the other side of the sea, it is the middle class, on this side it is well-off, in the old era it is the three major items, in the new era it is the mortgage, school district, luxury bags, cosmetics...

In short, as long as you don't have something, you can promote "you should have it" and then ask you not to lie down and continue to get up and work overtime.

In fact, such a standardized life without iterative products can only create a short-term and false sense of happiness for the individuals who put in the work.

This is happiness that comes from society’s instillation of desire that is entirely material and quantified through money.

It's just a trick used by the upper-class part-time workers to coax cattle and horses into overworking.

There must be a sufficient number of cattle and horses working hard so that their quality of life will not decline as they rush forward.

Such a world has lost its dreams and gradually turned into ruins, sinking into the ruins of desire, and the cycle continues.

The cycle consumes a lot of resources, and the smartest talents are only improving it by 5% every year to stimulate consumption and tell you that you should buy this year's new toothpaste.

In fact, old toothpaste can still be used.

But if you don't buy new toothpaste, the toothpaste factory's stock price won't rise, and the boss's big house won't be able to invite new female stars to the party.

Countless visual stimulations maintain meaningless repetitive work on a longer time scale.

The same story is also happening in Kyushu.

Practitioners are such detached people. Their desires are amplified by their strength. They seem to be transcendent, but in fact they interfere in all aspects of Kyushu.

If Kyushu is to become stronger and have the power to defeat Tianming, the immortals in Heaven are the oppressors who must be overthrown.

Under the rule of Heaven, most of the human race are innocent and helpless.

They are just like ordinary monsters, ordinary workers who live an ordinary life and have ordinary dreams.

Just like most desire-driven societies, the root cause of inequality in Kyushu is not that workers don’t work hard enough, but that practitioners want more and more.

Each practitioner consumes a thousand or ten thousand times the resources that ordinary people need to survive.

In the era when the Five Demons Rebellion had just ended and Heaven was founded, the number of practitioners dropped to a very low value due to the war.

Relying on the edge sharpened by the wars of that era, the Immortal Lord showed victory and led the practitioners to break out of Kyushu and plunder the resources of the four major continents.

The heavenly immortals of that era were the pride of Kyushu.

They can also destroy demons, resist all directions, and usher in a peaceful and prosperous era and clarity in the world.

If it is a world with unlimited advancement and unlimited resources, if this momentum is maintained, Tianting may become the next alliance of awakened ones and evolve into a dream-driven society.

But the problem is that Kyushu does not have such a foundation.

For various reasons, a true fairyland has become a luxury.

The Hedao realm is the limit, which has blocked generations of practitioners.

The surrounding small world that can be conquered is just the fragments produced when Kyushu was broken.

The four continents are just large fragments.

Within the distance that Heavenly Court can reach, there are no more worlds to conquer, and the resources obtained are quite primitive and limited.

Primitive accumulation was mostly barbaric and bloody. In the initial stage of Hero Continent, it also did quite harsh things to other worlds.

Civilization and dreams are also advanced stages that must be built on a material basis.

Justice is not supported by force, and it is very likely that he will not survive the black gun who fell in a dark alley in half an episode.

The Alliance of Awakeners is lucky enough to have heroes emerging and resources from many worlds coming together, allowing them to complete this process of transformation and export culture to help backward worlds.

But Kyushu has no such opportunity.

It cannot develop upward, nor can it develop horizontally.

The resources that Heaven can obtain cannot be further improved after reaching a certain value.

However, immortals get married, fall in love, give birth to children, and take on disciples.

The number of practitioners has grown rapidly at a rate unimaginable in the past under a relatively stable environment.

The total amount of natural resources consumed has also increased exponentially.

The older generation of practitioners cannot break through, but they have enough lifespan.

As the level increases, more resources will be consumed.

Not to mention that when their lifespan is about to end, they will use their strength and means to seek excess resources to extend their lifespan.

At the same time, a new generation has grown up, leaving gaps in resource needs everywhere.

The new generation has ambitions, ideas, and the "Tao" they want to pursue.

But the problem is that Kyushu is only so big.

A petri dish whose space has been determined long ago, no matter how ferocious the bacteria in it, cannot proliferate indefinitely.

Infighting began.

After the number expanded, the immortals in heaven who had united during the war naturally began to fight openly and secretly for resources.

This is the weakness of human nature and the helplessness of Kyushu.

Staying at the stage driven by desire, the instinct of life is the highest goal of course.

No one can deny another individual’s right to exist, right?

Survival requires plundering resources, supporting oneself, and continuously replicating and passing on one's own "genes", "knowledge" and "civilization".

From unintelligent viruses to highly intelligent humans, if desires are not restrained, there is no way to transcend this nature.

As time continues to expand, tragedies eventually arise.

And it just so happened that the Immortal Lord was silent at this time, and the heaven began to decay step by step:

Internally, the shortcomings of mortal dynasties that have been established for a long time are not lacking in heaven.

Bureaucracies are fighting among themselves, trying to get each other into trouble, and there is endless nepotism.

On the other hand, I tried my best to squeeze him out.

The immortals who subdued demons and demons disappeared, and half-crazy immortals who took advantage of others and tortured ordinary people in various ways were everywhere.

After all, they are also aggrieved. They are obviously powerful, but they have been stuffed in a jar for thousands of years.

Problems can arise if you are not careful.

Practitioners, from the moment they set foot on the road to immortality, have gone against the will of heaven and changed their fate, and they are all arrogant and arrogant.

If you can't break through to the true immortal, then you should try your best to find another way and look for other possibilities.

How can I be worse than the ancients?

Practitioners who accept their fate and indulge in pleasure are like otakus amusing themselves in a cave.

Although his contribution is small, his harm to Kyushu is also small!

People just live.

Those excellent practitioners who don't accept their fate, have ideas, are talented, and work hard to change their fate against the will of heaven will do some pretty terrible things from time to time...

Sometimes, the greater the ability, the greater the harm.

For example, if the path of cultivation is impassable, some immortals have already shouted slogans like "flesh and blood are weak, machines will ascend".

Players of P Club just shouted that it was cool. There was already a technology tree in the game, but they just couldn't get along with the data.

But the immortals had to grow this tree from scratch.

So why don't you use the knife on ordinary people first?

Not to mention those quick magic methods.

When the right path is no longer feasible, more and more people are thinking, "If it doesn't work, just give it a try."

The spirit of perseverance and perseverance gradually turns into paranoia and perversion because one cannot get what he wants and never gives up.

1000 years is really a long time.

The fear of death, the depression of not being able to find the right path, and people's willpower will eventually be worn away.

At the end of the road, more and more extreme measures will always appear.

Before Nanfanbuzhou raised its flag of rebellion, the resources needed by the Celestial Immortals were not just spiritual stones, minerals, medicinal materials, etc.

The demon clan itself is also a type of resource.

Eat less and work more, your strength can grow and your finesse can be trained.

Learning new skills happens very quickly.

I have a wife, children and weaknesses, and I am willing to work overload even if I have a little hope.

It can also tolerate harsh environments.

You know, if the environment is not good, the season is wrong, and the care is not good, pigs and dogs may not have litters.

If the fish ponds are not cleaned in time, there may be a wave of collective diseases.

But when the monsters are sick, they will heal themselves, overcome various difficulties, and create value for the immortals.

When the demon clan is young, they work hard, explore resources, and do all the dangerous and hard work.
