Chapter 2274 Immortal Cultivator's Dilemma

Li Jialing looked at the rows of disabled veterans outside the window and bowed and presented flowers, clenched his fists and said, "The era of the Black Star Emperor Wu Yingqi will definitely not be like this."

“It’s all the same.”

Li Yao said, "If there was no such chaos in the era of Wu Yingqi of the Black Star Emperor, there was no such chaos in the cultivators of corruption and intrigue, and the cultivators were not as selfish and morally corrupt today, then it was not that the cultivators of the past had a higher moral standard, just because the empire was still in the pioneering period and could swallow the interests of newly conquered areas from all directions to ease internal conflicts and conflicts.

"A country like the real human empire must have its vigorous vitality on accelerating expansion. Whenever it stops expansion, various internal contradictions will burst out in a concentrated manner, causing the empire to decline irreversibly.

"The empire is corrupt to its current level and is already terminally ill and has no cure. Any "innovation" is a treatment of symptoms but not the root cause. At most, it is cut off the tumors on the body, but it is impossible to change the defects deep in the genes. Not to mention Li Linghai and Lei Chenghu, even if the Black Star Emperor Wu Yingqi is reborn, how can heal this country?"

"If you really want to be reborn and reborn, you must make the most thorough refutation and deny of the path of cultivation of immortals, which is "the strong prey on the weak, the king will succeed, the enemy will lose," is here. Is the real human empire without the guidance of the path of cultivation of immortals still a "real human empire"? Which immortal cultivator can overcome his fundamental Taoist heart and do such a devastating reconstruction?"

Li Jialing thought deeply for a long time: "Is there no other way to leave this?"

"It must be done."

Li Yao said seriously, "Survival is the first instinct of life. As long as the road to cultivation of immortals adheres to the law of "the strong prey on the weak, the success of the king, the defeat of the enemy", in order to survive, everyone will, driven by instinct, use all resources on themselves and consume them in meaningless internal struggles. Even if they are not used for the time being, they will hide them secretly for emergencies, and will never be invested in the public, the country, civilization and the external struggles. What else can we talk about "optimal allocation of resources"?"

Li Jialing frowned and shook his head and said, "After that being said, is it better to practice the Great Way? Under the guidance of the Great Way of Cultivation, practitioners will be able to maintain an extremely high moral standard, and will fight for the masses wholeheartedly, and there will be no class solidification and huge interest groups? If so, the Star Sea Republic will not perish, and the Firefly will not be destroyed!"

"You are right. I don't want to lie. Whether it is a cultivator or an immortal cultivator, they are all humans. As long as they are humans, human instincts, desires and defects are all available. Today, everything happened in the real human empire, tomorrow... Yesterday, it also happened on the Star Sea Republic and the Firefly, and even led to two destructions."

Li Yao fell into deep thoughts and murmured, "But I am still willing to believe that, at least, in a society where the strong help the weak, the weak feedback the strong, the strong and the weak join hands and support each other', people do not have such a strong motivation to harm the interests of the whole to strengthen themselves. Since the whole is the strongest backing and warmest support of the individual, then putting the interests on the whole first, strengthening the whole first and then considering themselves is not contrary to human nature, right?

"If you still can't understand, you will understand that constructing the simplest social model, in which the entire society is highly compressed and simplified, with only two people and one resource.

"One of them is you. You are not sure whether you are a cultivator or an immortal cultivator. You can flexibly change in the two strategies of cultivating and immortal cultivating.

"The other person is a master with far superior strength to you, but he is now seriously injured and urgently needs this resource to recover.

"Of course, this resource is now controlled by you who are strong and healthy, and you are not sick or disaster-free. If you choose to consume this resource yourself, you can increase your strength by 10 points, and another seriously injured expert is very likely to die immediately.

"But if you give the resources to this seriously injured master, his strength can be increased by 100 points after he recovers.

"By the way, besides you two, there are various threats in this world. The stronger your overall strength, the more likely you are to survive in a world full of crisis.

"The problem is, the first situation, if you know that this seriously injured master is a ruthless and ruthless immortal cultivator, who believes in the concept of "the strong prey on the weak, the strong are respected, the success and the king are defeated, the winners take all", are you willing to give him this precious resource to fully restore his strength, and your strength is only one-fifth or even one-tenth of his power?

"In the second case, if you know clearly that this seriously injured master is a cultivator and has fought for the weak countless times, what would you choose? Should you give the resources to yourself and maximize your individual combat power; or should you give it to him and maximize your team combat power?"

Li Jialing's eyes rolled around and around, his fists clenched and loosened, and he clenched again and again. After a long time, he breathed a sigh of relief and said with difficulty: "I can't lie. In the first case, I will leave all the resources to myself, regardless of whether this master will die; in the second case, I am very likely to give the resources to this master. Anyway, after he recovers his strength, he should protect me.

"However, in the first case, there is another option. If this resource can be divided, I will divide the resource, give a large part to myself and a small part to this expert, so that he can recover a little, maintain his strength to a level that is slightly weaker than me and can play a little role."

“It’s all the same.”

Li Yao said lightly, "No matter how many resources you divide to this immortal cultivator, your team's combat power has not been maximized. In other words, the 'optimal configuration of resources' has not been achieved.

"Not to mention, if you give this seriously injured cultivator a little resource, he may not be grateful to you, and maybe he will be angry about your stinginess. In the next battle, the two of them will have to intrigue and guard against each other. Before the external threat appears, they will become popular first, right?"

Li Jialing was stunned for a moment and said, "Yes, right, but in the second situation, who can guarantee that this cultivator can obtain all resources and restore his strength to protect the weak? What if his mentality changes, he tear the false mask of hypocrisy at a critical moment and abandon me?"

"Probability, everything has probability. I did not say that in the second case, the strategy of giving all resources to this master of cultivator must be correct. I can only say that such a strategy will maximize the chance of survival, that's it."

Li Yao supported his hands on the window frame, looking at the statue of Wu Yingqi, the Black Star Emperor in the slanting wind and drizzle opposite, saying, "The cultivator may indeed be a hypocrite, but the cultivator must always be a real villain. The hypocrite will only harm people at the moment of tearing apart. However, the real villain has sprayed venom for 24 hours and every second from the beginning, using conspiracies and tricks, and uses everything to harm others and benefit oneself. Must choose a partner. The fool knows how to choose!"

Li Jialing frowned and said, "What exactly do Brother Yao want to say?"

Li Yao said: "What I want to say is that in any small-scale world, if your companions are immortal cultivators, then no matter how kind-hearted, noble moral, and selfless dedication you are, it is useless. Based on the instinct of survival, your only strategy is to quickly turn yourself into an immortal cultivator. It is best to be a more cruel, cruel and treacherous immortal cultivator than the other party. At least you must reach a terrifying balance between each other, so that you can be safe and your cooperative relationship can be temporarily stable.

"But in this way, the world of cultivators composed of you immortal cultivators cannot achieve the 'optimized resource allocation' in boasting. On the contrary, under the ideal conditions, you can exert 100 points of combat power, and under your intrigue and intrigue survival game, you can only exert 10 points.

"I want to call this phenomenon the 'diverge of immortal cultivators'. The entire real human empire is currently in a huge 'diverge of immortal cultivators', so that there are only the richest and abundant resources in the center of the Star Sea, but even the small saint alliance without creativity in a corner of the Star Sea cannot be eliminated.

"In the second social form, if your companion is a cultivator, you have a high chance of converting into a cultivator and making more selfless actions, such as giving precious resources to the other party first, because you know that this is a reliable investment. After the other party recovers from injury, you will definitely collect more resources to give back to you.

"Such a positive motivation and feedback will make you two become more and more selfless and united, and eventually achieve the 'optimal allocation of resources' and output the strongest overall combat power, right?"

Li Jialing tilted his head and thought for a long time: "It seems to be."

"Of course, aren't there any living examples in front of you?"

Li Yao shouted with a wake-up call, "In the past, you were a little demon who was confused, good and evil, pretended to disguise yourself in a deliberate way, and killed bloodlessly without blinking. He was the best "Immortal Cultivator". But since I met Brother Yao, who is kind-hearted, noble moral and full of moral integrity, you were unknowingly influenced by my great personality, and even learned to look at this world with the way of thinking of a cultivator, and gradually transformed towards the direction of a cultivator. Isn't this the best proof?
