Myriad Paths

Six years have passed since the initial implementation of the magic weapon silkworm.

Now, the creatures in the spiritual silk world seem to be torn in half. Either there is an external pressure forcing them to unite. If they cannot unite, it will be a civil war.

Therefore, it is either a foreign war or a civil war.

At this moment, there is another confrontation in the spirit silk world.

However, this confrontation was particularly grand. One of the two parties was Mo Xiao.

Mo Xiao was the main promoter of the witchcraft silkworm six years ago. Now he is also the backbone of the faction that supports the inexhaustibility of the world, and has a high reputation.

Opposite him was another corresponding person. The other person also had his own chamber of commerce. Mo Xiao knew the other person. The other person used to support the Witch Silkworm, but... his world-class giant ship was robbed by pirates.

This directly resulted in losing all his money. In the end, he was forced to start the magic weapon assembly line, and only then did he replenish the goods without breach of contract.

After that, he began to use the magic weapon assembly line more and more frequently. Until now, he has begun to fully support the magic weapon assembly line, and is in favor of plundering more worlds outside. He even proposed to the world leader to launch a great expedition to plunder the world for The goal is to replace the world that is about to be exhausted and expand production capacity.

To be honest, Mo Xiao didn't know what the other party was thinking.

But obviously, the other party also felt that Mo Xiao was stubborn.

Since they cannot understand each other, conflict is inevitable.

At the scene of the conflict:

"Resist aggression! Resist arms expansion!" someone shouted while holding a sign.

But on the other side, someone threw stones at them and even used magic.

People on the other side shouted: "Are you going to pay us for your kindness?! I still have children to raise at home, and I want to eat cheap meat and use cheap goods!"

Some people on both sides propagandize, and some people can't control their tempers and start attacking each other, while Mo Xiao directs the actions and calls for persistence. For everyone to persist, it must be seen by the onlookers around.

Yes, such a fight is not to convince the other party, but to convince passers-by.

Halfway through the fight, Mo Xiao suddenly felt a chill on his back.

Looking back, he saw that the blade had pierced his chest.

Assassination!

The people who supported Mo Xiao went crazy. They wanted to catch the assassin, but the assassin cast a spell and instantly left the crowd and fled away.

Mo Xiao, who was lying in a pool of blood, was surrounded by the crowd. Some people wanted to save him, some tried to protect him, and more people rushed towards him.

The people who just shouted "No war" took the initiative to attack.

In this fight, Mo Xiao died after being rescued, and the leader of the opponent was also beaten to death. In the end, more than 80 people were killed and injured, which shocked the entire spiritual silk world.

And all this was within Messenger Pang's expectations.

In fact, it does not matter whether it is a civil war or a foreign war.

As long as it is a war, as long as these people go into war, they must arm themselves.

Therefore, if provoking a foreign war fails, then civil war will be better. Can those who shout for peace and no aggression really be able to hold back and not take the initiative?

If we take the initiative...then the group of people who originally had aggressive thoughts would be even less able to hold back.

The fight quickly caused an uproar in public opinion.

In all places, in pubs, newspapers, offices, and on the streets, everyone is talking, everyone is arguing, and everyone is making their own comments.

Newspapers, publicity, various media, and even film critics and various entertainment videos are expressing their opinions. There seems to be some force behind it, constantly creating hot spots and prompting countless people to cross the border. Lai Yue became more involved in this war of words.

There is an incident today, and another debate tomorrow. Which opinion leader is recognized today will be assassinated in a few days. The whole world is in chaos, and everyone is criticizing each other. Every comment section about this matter is There was a lot of noise and constant bickering about which side was better, trying to refute the other.

Every news that is beneficial to oneself is ridiculed by someone below, and then there is another round of abuse, until this abuse is transferred from the media's comment area to the real world.

Public opinion has been completely destroyed. The envoys of witchcraft and humanity have only been here for more than ten years, and the changes in ideological trends have already reached such a sharp level.

Finally, the Spirit Silk Realm Lord took action.

She used her fifth-grade force and pressure to forcibly end all discussions.

But this was a foolish move, and high-pressure measures were of no use at all. On the contrary, they angered everyone.

No one can blame those who are deprived of all legitimate means of self-defence and whose unventilable rage ultimately drives them to resort to illegal means.

If a discerning person looks outside, he will find that humanity seems to have the absolute upper hand in this debate.

It seems that the two sides are still evenly divided, but when everything develops to the point where war can be resolved,

All illegal methods require some material support.

And all this material support——

Will lead the trend of thought to the magic weapon assembly line.

Sitting in his seat, Messenger Pang read different information every day, analyzed the trends, and watched everything move in the direction he arranged.

He was a little curious, how could the other party deal with it? In this current situation, is there any way to make people in the spiritual silk world put away their murderous intentions?

If it cannot be put away, then war breaks out and everything will be settled.

While reviewing the documents, Messenger Pang deduced from various data that the current situation would be either a civil war or a foreign war. There had to be a fight. Everyone was so angry, so as long as a few more fires were lit, the raging flames would naturally burn out. stand up.

"Well, it's almost time. It's time to go see the Lord of the Lingsi Realm and see what kind of war she needs, and we will provide it." Messenger Pang said.

Following his words, other team members around him also stood up and shouted: "Okay! Oops, the paperwork is finally over."

"I'm going back to Chang'an after get off work this month. I haven't eaten Chang'an food for a long time."

"Don't waste Jintai's capacity at the critical moment. Just for a meal, I'll cook it for you. I'm a Level 4 amateur chef."

These people are relaxed and friendly to each other.

If you only look at it from here, you can only see harmonious interpersonal relationships and excellent work standards. Everyone is excellent and kind. No one can tell that they are actually manipulating hundreds of billions of lives into the flames of war. middle.

But both sides are real. They are indeed very kind and friendly. Humanity has full fairness and a complete promotion mechanism. Everyone can find a place to give full play to their talents and strength, and then obtain the corresponding status. Naturally There can't be any resentment, everyone just has a good relationship and is very kind.

But...all this kindness, kindness, and fairness are for 'people'.

In the world of spiritual silk, people are not counted.

Just natural resources.

From the beginning, even if they achieve the so-called "resignation", humanity will not treat them as human beings.

Because it actually doesn’t matter what Taoism you practice in the spiritual silk world and what trend of thought you want to use.

Does the world of Lingsi Realm really have its own ‘Tao’? Is there anything worth risking life and death for the entire civilization, and holding on to even if the civilization is extinct?

No, they don’t. The Lord of the Lingsi Realm, and even everyone in the Lingsi Realm, what they care about is not Tao, but survival, profit, for a bite of food, for better clothes tomorrow, for being a leader, for reputation, profit.

Is this kind of thing worthy of being called a human being? Is it also worthy of being called civilization?

From the perspective of humanity, those who are still struggling for survival are not humans, but irrational, uncivilized beasts. They are no different from beasts and plants.

All actions of real "people" are based on their original intentions. They are separated from material instincts. People can abandon their lives and forget about death, all because their hearts are here and the Tao is here.

From the perspective of humanity, civilization must liberate itself from instinctive life, detach itself from any specific behavioral relationship between its own life and external objects, and become so alienated and indifferent that it transcends freedom, and ultimately reaches the point where everyone can act for the sake of the Dao. , can it be regarded as a 'civilization', and only then can it be regarded as a 'human being'.

All kinds of instincts, all kinds of struggles, even developing some skills, learning various magic techniques and magical powers, are essentially methods and means of making a living, all of them have a purpose, these are the same as those of beasts. The minions out there are no different, they just live to live.

We must wait until civilization advances towards reason, and its life transcends instinct, that is, it does not fall into methods and means, but suddenly becomes enlightened and reaches the state of doing nothing.

At this time, people can be interested in anything, not just for survival.

Human life is so powerful and broad. Survival is certainly important, but the reason why survival is important is that without survival, it is impossible to pursue the real truth and achieve the real ideal.

Maintaining survival is to maintain noble things, not to abandon everything in order to survive.

In the spiritual silk world, in order to survive and for materials, one can change paths at will, and everything is profit-oriented.

In the entire civilization, what is pursued is not Tao. In their view, 'Tao' is not a supreme pursuit, but a tool that can be used for survival.

That is a world without morality and people without morality.

Someone even once said: "In a world without morality, we should not trample on its soil."

These eight words are enough to explain the humane attitude, and you don't even want to go.

In the eyes of Messenger Pang, if they are sincerely willing to join the human world, such as Fucaoyijie, they will choose to accept it, but they are too lazy to raise their eyebrows at Lingsijijie.

Of course, this actually creates a typical contradiction. People like Fu Cao Yi Jie will never give up their own way easily. They accept the witch way because the witch way overlaps with them very much. They think that the witch way He is his senior, so he can cooperate.

But if they change to the human way, even if the Fucao Yijie is exterminated, they will not easily change the way of life. They will just die standing.

There are few people willing to join a world that is worthy of humanity.

Humanity looks down on it, but desperately wants to join it, but unfortunately Humanity is too lazy to raise its eyebrows, so it is better to enter the natural resource reserve list honestly.

Messenger Pang watched these people leave, then stretched himself, stood up, and prepared to leave.

Walking out of this office, there is an ornamental lake in Lingsi World outside.

This is a manor located in a remote suburb. It is quite quiet and the scenery is very good. It has many natural species in the spiritual silk world, including some rare species.

In the outside world, some of these things have become extinct due to the expansion of civilization in the spiritual silk world, but they are well preserved here.

After all...these are precious natural treasures.

A species is the result of hundreds of millions of years of evolution. Any species that can survive and reproduce independently is the result of hundreds of millions of years of screening by the entire world and is a treasure of the universe.

People who don't understand will think that humanity will despise these, but on the contrary, although humanity regards these things as property, they are also precious properties. It only takes a few seconds for humanity's magic weapon assembly line to refine a sixth-grade magic weapon, but these species It takes hundreds of millions of years to appear, so you can imagine how precious they are. Moreover, the hundreds of millions of years of evolution of these species have resulted in some of their properties being useful, either as medicine, as raw materials, or as food. Come in handy.

Sometimes, in a humane world, a special plague spreads, and even the fifth level can't do anything about it, but the antidote is just an ordinary, irrelevant mushroom hundreds of millions of light years away. .

After all, this world is so wonderful.

Therefore, wherever Humanity goes, he will collect all the species maps of the entire world. The manor in front of him is a small ecological circle reproduced through this map. If things go well, this ecological circle will be moved and sent away in the future. Return to Chang'an's world map and preserve it forever.

In the world map, all the worlds that humanity has seen so far are stored. These things can be used in almost all fields as long as there is need.

Messenger Pang looked at the things here and prepared to take a rest before continuing to work. Anyway, it was almost impossible to turn the situation around, and the wizard opposite had already lost completely.

There is one thing that he still hasn't figured out, and that is the source of the witchcraft silkworm in the opponent's hands, but he has already sent someone to ask Liu Shenzhi, and he believes that he will get the exact information after a while.

Perhaps it was a coincidence that Cao Cao had arrived. Suddenly, a message came from his terminal at this time.

"Messenger, the news you want has arrived. The witchcraft silkworms on Liu Shenzhi's side have not been leaked. The other party's witchcraft silkworms come from other places. Moreover, Mr. Liu Shenzhi has provided special information, that is, the witchcraft silkworms on Liu Shenzhi's side are from other places. In fact, it was not just developed by him, but three people worked together.”

"One of them is from the divination lineage, named Boyue, and his current whereabouts are unknown."

"The other person is from Zhu Ren's lineage, and his name is Li Qi. According to our multiple checks, he should be the real person of the other party's envoy. I have sent you the recorded and analyzed Taoist techniques. The envoy can analyze the situation based on the actual situation. The opponent’s heels.”

A message came from the terminal.

Messenger Pang was refreshed.

Good news!

However, at this moment, the entire ecosystem suddenly exploded!
