Age of mythical princes

Chapter 421 Immortality?Ascend!
After a while, after everyone fully understood the previous words, Jiang Hua went on to spread some common sense of saints to everyone, so as to avoid mistakes when making plans and considering various situations in the future.

Just like now, looking at Han Xin's expression, you can tell that he may have made a hundred and eighty plans in his heart at this moment.But obviously, he overestimated the saint.

"Saints are not invincible. The reason why saints are saints and their strength lies mainly in their holy way. If a saint does not practice virtue, he will lose his holy way sooner or later. When he loses his holy way, He Dazhen will not be able to There’s a difference.”

After thinking for a while, Jiang Hua continued: "Why can't saints live forever? In fact, this is the reason."

"It stands to reason that real people and the first generation can actually live forever."

"It's just that the real people and the first generation cannot bear the erosion of heaven and earth day after day."

"When you reach the stage of Da Zhenren, you can finally fight against the erosion of heaven and earth. However, because it is a confrontation, you also need to contend with heaven and earth day after day. Eventually, sooner or later, you will be unable to bear it. Therefore, Da Zhenren cannot live forever."

"But when you reach the stage of a saint, everything seems to be different. The holy way fills the world. Theoretically speaking, as long as the holy way is still there, you can continuously get help from heaven and earth. Logically speaking, immortality is not difficult."

"But if this is the case, why is there not a single saint left in the world?"

Hearing this, everyone pricked up their ears curiously.

Everyone only thought that these secrets were told to Jiang Hua by Qinglian, or the Three Saints told Jiang Hua, but in fact they were not.At this moment, Creation Qinglian also used lotus leaves to gently approach Jiang Hua. He was also very curious.

"Because of the vicissitudes of life, because everything is easy but not easy!"

"Saints are path-breakers. They create the holy way and create a new path, a new path that is beneficial to heaven and earth or to humankind. This is conducive to the development of humankind or the progress of heaven and earth. Therefore, saints are powerful and can mobilize saints. The power of Tao is a crushing advantage."

"However, the Holy Path is not static!"

"The Holy Way has begun to change from the moment it was born!"

"Take King Wen as an example. King Wen created the acquired Bagua and became a saint. His holy way is the Yi Dao, but it is not the innate Yi Dao, but the acquired Yi Dao."

"However, only at the moment when Yi Dao is born, the compatibility between King Wen and Yi Dao can reach [-]%."

"With the passage of time, more and more people have understood the acquired Yi Dao, and more and more people have understood the acquired eight trigrams, used the acquired eight trigrams to tell fortunes, and deduce heavenly secrets. This has led to more and more changes in the acquired changes. There are many, and this Tao is growing rapidly.”

"To this day, can the acquired Yi Dao millions of years later still be exactly the same as the acquired Yi Dao when King Wen first created it?"

Hearing this, Han Xin shook his head: "It must be different!"

"At that time, the Houtian Bagua was famous all over the world. Nowadays, there are a series of secret numerology methods such as Qimen Dunjia, Plum Blossom Yishu, Dayan Divine Arithmetic, etc. Perhaps a single one is not as good as King Wen's Bagua back then, but All these combined have already surpassed King Wen at that time."

Jiang Hua nodded affirmatively: "Yes, future generations do not have to be inferior to their predecessors!"

"In fact, although today's civilization occasionally regresses, it is still progressing on the whole."

"Whether it is the study of bloodline or the deduction of acquired changes, it is far better now than it was millions of years ago."

"So, if King Wen comes to our era, his compatibility with the Yi Dao of the day after tomorrow will be weakened to a very weak point, and he will not even be able to connect to the He Dao!"

"This is a problem that saints all over the world must face, and it is also the fundamental reason why saints cannot live forever!"

The world is changing, and so are the roads.

Even if a saint is a founder, he cannot always maintain [-]% conformity with the holy way. When the degree of conformity between a saint and the holy way he created continues to decline, and drops to a certain level, the saint will no longer be able to continue to be in harmony with the holy way. The holy way will Actively exclude saints, even if saints are the ones who opened the way.

"This is a paradox. If a saint wants to become a saint, he must have the Holy Way. But when the Holy Way spreads across heaven and earth, people in the world will definitely continue to conduct research. With research, there will be results, and there will be results. The Holy Path will absorb the results, and after absorbing these results, the Holy Path will evolve itself.”

"As the Holy Path evolves, there will definitely be differences between the new Holy Path and the old Holy Path. In this way, the degree of compatibility will decrease."

After analyzing this, Han Xin suddenly raised his head: "What if the saint continues to understand the holy way and changes with the holy way?"

Jiang Hua smiled and looked at Zhuge Liang who was thoughtful: "Kong Ming, tell me what you think."

Zhuge Liang waved his goose feather fan and said humbly: "I just said it casually, it may not be correct."

"According to historical records, every saint has his own ideas and paths. Most saints have a strong character and have their own persistence and ideas."

"If you always cooperate with the Holy Way and change together with the Holy Way, you can live forever, but the Saint is unwilling. The world is changing very fast, and the Saint must also change with it? After all, humans and heaven are different."

Looking at Han Xin's confused eyes, Zhuge Liang felt that he still needed to explain in more detail. After thinking about it, he gave an example: "For example, the human race has multiplied too much and the world cannot bear it. It is necessary to bring disaster and eliminate the human race. If you You are a saint, you saw this scene, what should you do?"

"That must be a stop!" Han Xin said. "If heaven and earth decided to send a huge flood and drown [-]% of the people, what would you do?"

"Then I will control the floods, Fire King Yu!"

"What would you do if the world was inhabited by many demons, many man-eating demons?"

"Then I will conquer the demons!"

"Why do you always ask these questions? In Yancheng, doesn't everyone know the answers?"

Zhuge Liang smiled slightly: "Yes, it's just like what you said. If the saint saw it, he would definitely prevent demons, ghosts and other disasters. But to prevent these disasters is to destroy the world. Because the world is originally because of the too many humans. , the world couldn’t bear it, so it brought disaster and reduced the number of human beings.”

"But you insist on constantly eliminating these calamities, then in the end, either after you die, the world will continue to bring calamities, wipe out some human races, and let the world recuperate. Or in the end, the world will be unable to bear it, Haotian's will comes, and you will bring Haotian's will Kill them too, and eventually the world will be destroyed."

"So, faced with this situation, what should you do?"

"There is an upper limit to the world. Within a certain period of time and under certain circumstances, there is an upper limit to the number of creatures, monks, spiritual energy and other resources that can be possessed. And this upper limit is dynamically changing, not static. .”

"As far as heaven and earth are concerned, if the human race exceeds the upper limit of carrying capacity, a disaster will definitely occur and the human race will be wiped out. In this situation, as a saint, what should you do?"

Han Xin thought for a while: "Out of sight, out of mind, so this is the reason why saints ascend? Isn't this a little too... too..."

Zhuge Liang shook his head: "This can only be regarded as one of the reasons at most. Saints have great love. They not only love the human race, but also love the heaven and earth, and the world. On one side is the world, on the other side is the human race, and the palms and backs of the hands are all flesh, so the saint chooses to ascend. , which is actually easy to understand.”

"Of course, this is not the main cause, this is just a secondary cause."

"The main reason is that the holy way is different in different eras!"

"Saints all have their own persistence, and it is impossible for them to change along with the changes in the holy way."

"Saints are also human beings. The Holy Way is their pride and their hard work. However, as time develops, the Holy Way will inevitably change a lot, and one day it will even become unrecognizable or unwilling to admit it."

This is actually easy to understand. If the holy way is compared to Confucianism, then if Confucius, the founder of Confucianism, had gone to the Song Dynasty or Ming Dynasty, he would most likely be expelled from Confucianism by the Confucianists at that time.

"For King Wen, the Yi Dao the day after tomorrow should be what he created."

"But now, millions of years later, Yi Dao is no longer what he created."

"He couldn't stop this scene, otherwise, he would be easily robbed."

"If we don't stop it, we can only watch the holy way continue to change."

"Another example is the way of blood. When this way was first born, it may have been to give future generations a better starting point and to make the development of the human race smoother."

"But today, in the Great Zhou Dynasty, the way of blood has created a group like the nobles."

"If you were one of those great sages who created the way of blood back then, would you like what the way of blood looks like today?"

Han Xin thought for a while: "If they are those great sages who have overcome obstacles and made great contributions to the development of the human race, they must have more publicity than selfishness. Seeing the situation today, they may have the idea of ​​destroying the nobles."

Hearing this, Zhuge Liang continued: "However, the development of the nobility is actually in line with the times. Compared with slavery, the aristocratic feudal system is actually more advanced."

"One day in the future, there will be new systems to replace the aristocratic feudal system, such as centralization."

"Suppose that centralization replaces aristocratic feudalism in the future. Then one day, when centralization is replaced by a more advanced system, can we directly say that centralization is useless?"

"The same is true for the Holy Way. When most of the Holy Ways were first born, they followed the development of heaven and earth and were good."

"But as time goes by, with the needs of heaven and earth, and with the needs of rulers, the Holy Way will also change."

"As the Holy Path continues to change, the choice of most saints is to let go! Ascend!"

"The holy way changes with time and with the needs of heaven and earth, but what about the saints? After changing, are they still saints?"

If it doesn't change, then the degree of compatibility with the Holy Way will become lower and lower, and eventually they will break up!
"Moreover, the saint's understanding of the holy way is actually constantly changing."

"If one day, the saint even becomes an obstacle to the development and progress of the holy way, what do you think the saint will do at that time?"
