The Holy Maiden of the Nine Heavens glanced sideways at Xiang Chen, and slapped him angrily, hitting Xiang Chen on the back of the head.
"Can you be more serious? People who are tens of millions of years old before and after, don't be so naive."
The old man sitting in the main hall was also stunned for a moment, and then smiled and said: "Young Master Jun Yi is indeed humorous. It is said that you have an innocent heart that will never grow old. It is true."
"Ha, is that so? Why don't I know this legend? The founder of the Heavenly Palace recalled Xiang Chen and paid homage to the senior emperor."
Xiang Chen went over, clasped his fists, and bowed in salute.
The old man sitting in the hall was wearing simple black clothes and had a long white beard. He was sitting cross-legged on a futon on the ground. His eyebrows were so long that they almost drooped down. He looked kind and kind, no different from an ordinary old man.
This person is none other than the first sacred tree in the world, the ancestor of the Imperial House Tree.
The Emperor's Tree Patriarch nodded slightly and extended his hand to signal: "You're welcome, little friend Jun Yi, please sit down."
Xiang Chen was not polite and went over to sit cross-legged across from him.
Qingtang, holding a tea set, knelt down in the middle and made tea for the two of them.
The ancestor of the Emperor's House Tree said: "Congratulations to little friend Jun Yi for surviving the catastrophe of ten lifetimes and returning to the wilderness, and for understanding the method of breaking through the limits."
Xiang Chen was shocked when he heard this, how could this old guy know everything?
If you can see that you have survived ten lives, it means that the other person's attainments in reincarnation are much higher than your own.
Being able to know that he has understood the secret to breaking through the limits means that the other party has also been paying attention to major events in the ancient times, and his intelligence capabilities are not small.
Xiang Chen smiled and said: "This is my first time meeting senior Diwu. Senior knows everything. It seems that senior pays less attention to junior."
The Emperor's tree ancestor invited Xiang Chen to drink tea. He also picked up the tea brewed by Qingtang and blew a breath of hot air: "Although I am in Luzhou, Beiju, my ears and eyes are not blocked. Little friend Jun Yi is destined to be
A hero who will lead an era.”
Xiang Chen laughed and picked up the tea cup: "You are always discerning. I would like to offer you tea instead of wine."
After Xiang Chen put down his tea cup, he looked at the surrounding environment: "You are so back to nature. I took a look when I came here. It seems that Beiju Luzhou does not develop high-end mechanism technology and the art of studying objects."
The Imperial Tree Ancestor shook his head and said: "The pursuit direction is different. The development of those things will only make the creatures more spiritually corrupt and less pursuing the natural way of heaven and earth. Moreover, those things will accelerate the waste of heaven and earth resources."
Xiang Chen nodded: "It makes sense."
The Emperor's Tree Ancestor continued: "Mechanism technology mainly serves war and killing, and it is not the Tao we are pursuing here."
Xiang Chen said: "But if there are living beings and desires, the war will not stop if there is killing. When I came over, I saw that there were many small-scale wars and killings in Beiju Luzhou, which is not considered peaceful."
The Emperor's Tree Ancestor smiled and said: "It is precisely because of this that we can control this situation within an acceptable range and maintain the normal operation of nature. Such killings are also in line with the laws of nature."
Xiang Chen shook his head and said: "I don't think that's the case. Killing is killing. There is no agreement or disapproval with the laws of nature.
In my eyes, killing one person is not much different from killing ten people. They are both murders.
If we say that we only allow killing within a certain range for the sake of natural laws, this also violates the morality of heaven and earth, because after the birth of intelligence, living beings are no longer beasts in the simple sense."
"Oh, in my opinion, little friend Jun Yi, what is your purpose in creating Heaven to unify the ancient world? Is it for ambition, or for the sake of all the people in the world?" asked the Emperor's tree ancestor.
"For ambition, for the common people in the world, and for future generations."
"To be honest, after you unify the world, will there be no killings and wars in the world?"
Xiang Chen shook his head: "It will also happen. If someone has desires, there will be rivers and lakes, and there will be killing. We can create a good environment, but there is no way to make everyone become a good person."
The Emperor's Tree Ancestor waved his hand, and the perspective of Beiju Luzhou appeared in front of them, and they saw some fighting tribes: "We are already doing this for your ideals, and everyone's general direction is the same.
I can't stop them from killing in order to compete for various benefits and glory, but with my maintenance, they can maintain a balance and will not be like Huangzhou, where the chaotic races invade and massacre countless races and cities.
.”
"There is nothing wrong with the weak eating the strong, but it cannot break the balance of heaven and earth. Wolves can eat sheep, and sheep can fight back and kill wolves, but wolves cannot dominate and eat all the sheep, nor can they kill wolves just to protect the sheep."
"I know what kind of world and society you want to build. You pursue racial equality, but races in this world are inherently unequal. Wolves are born stronger than sheep. If the two meet, they are destined to be eaten by wolves."
Xiang Chen shook his head: "I know what you are thinking, Ancestor Shu, but this is exactly what we don't agree with. When the cultivation civilization begins, such people are destined to be weak, destined to be bullied, and killed by the strong.
Abandoned."
"Take my human race as an example. We are born weak, but to be able to reach this point is not something that is naturally destined by heaven and earth.
It is the continuous study and study of Taoism and the development of supernatural powers by generations of human ancestors that have established that our human race can also reach the pinnacle of the race. We have not accepted our fate because we are destined to be weak."
"The environment in Beiju Luzhou is the same. Under your suppression and control, the races here can maintain a balance, but what happens when one day you are unable to suppress it?
When people here start to wake up and learn to resist, this place will become the most chaotic place in history. It is better to unblock it than to block it."
“We build a society with a good environment and racial equality, which means telling all races that everyone is the same. We are born weak and will always be weak if we are not destined to be.
We also support their competition with each other, but we must also compete in a healthy way. In addition, the more important thing for us to create heaven is to preach a kind of Tao, a Tao that most people can understand and respect.
That is, life deserves respect, and for tigers, it is understandable that tigers will hunt animals weaker than themselves in order to fill their stomachs."
"But tigers will not kill excess food that they cannot eat, but only take food that can satisfy themselves."
"But when a tiger becomes intelligent and has a lot of desires, it doesn't necessarily think so. What it wants may be more things. In order to satisfy its desires, it may hunt more.
Unnecessary prey causes ecological imbalance."
"Our world today is like this. The major forces have made this ecology out of balance for their own desires, because everyone is no longer just a simple wild beast, but an intelligent being with desires and thoughts.
"
"So it is useless to just suppress them in terms of environment. Such changes should start from the ideological roots with awareness. From the ideological roots, we know that we should respect nature and protect the world where we live."
