Evolution Paradise, are you the disaster?

Chapter 574 "The Struggle for the Way" and "Open Source": Seeing Through the Phenomenon to the Essence

"It seems the world has suffered under the 'Twisted Demon' for far too long."

By meticulously analyzing the movements of various groups, including the "Taoist Group," the "Crusader Group," the "Hindu Group," and the "Civilizational Conflict between Qin and Taoism," Meng Yi pinpointed the source of the attack.

Without a doubt, the result was "Civilized Struggle, Greatly Beautiful".

It's true that the famous "Big Beauty" called himself a "beacon of civilization" a long time ago.

As time went on, various external influences caused all sorts of strange things to happen, with all sorts of distorted, abstract, and anthropomorphic products emerging one after another.

A single "Civilization Struggle" is not worth the combined efforts of all the forces in the heavens. What the powerful figures are cracking down on is a branch of the "Civilization Struggle".

Previously, Meng Yi had speculated on the gradual connection between "Ancestor of the Dao" → "Great Luo" → "Dao Struggle Stage".

Anyone who sets foot on the "civilization side" can be called a "civilization cluster practitioner".

There are far too many branches within "civilization".

For example, "Civilization Struggle: Qin" was the "source" of "feudal monarchical autocracy", and those who later embarked on the "Civilization Struggle: Feudal Monarchical Autocracy" route were "strugglers" of a certain series of "Civilization Struggle".

There is a "Civilizational Struggle vs. Feudal Monarchical Autocracy" arena, and there are certainly other tracks, such as "Everyone is Like a Dragon" and "Ideal Utopia," but all of these belong to the broad framework of "Civilizational Struggle."

Find a conversion standard.

The "Information Conflict" group, whose leader, "Master of Systems," devised a branch of "Systems" back then, and was the first "open source developer" to explore "Systems."

The subsequent "Master of the Transcendent Gate" and "Master of the Chat Group" are the followers and imitators of "Information Dao Struggle · Open Source System", that is, "Dao Strugglers".

"Open Source · System Master" wiped out a bunch of imitators and crushed other "Information Path · Road Branches" such as "Path Contenders" and "Open Source Builders".

Until the "Information Struggle" has no rivals, the self-idea of ​​the "System Master" is constantly sublimated in the process of struggle, and stands out to obtain the reality of the interpretation and definition of the "Information Struggle", thus ascending to the "Approaching True Infinity" at the summit.

The sublimation from the "physical to the metaphysical" state is what constitutes the "essence of information";
If one ascends to "True Infinite Information," then "Information" is one aspect of His "omnipotence."

Stripping away the fancy prefixes and suffixes, this simple and easy-to-understand description clearly shows the various stages of the "Way of Struggle".

Meng Yi combined the metaphors of "ancestral rule" and "Solomon" from that time, describing the three "stages of the struggle for the Way" as "the foot of the mountain, the middle of the mountain, and the top of the mountain," making the classification clear and concise.

Taking the "Conflict of Civilization and the Qin Dynasty" as an example, although it was the "originator" of the "Conflict of Civilization and the Qin Dynasty" and the feudal monarchical autocracy, many powerful figures emerged from among its successors.

When "Civilization Struggle: Qin" can crush the "Civilization Struggle: Feudal Monarchical Autocracy" series such as "Han", "Tang", and "Ming" and win the sub-match, then we will have reached the "halfway up the mountain".

Only by participating in other "Civilization Path Competition - Sub-Competition Series" and becoming the "Civilization Path Competition - Ultimate Winner" can one qualify to ascend to the "Summit (Reach - True Infinity)".

The "battle" between the three major cesspools has far-reaching consequences.

"Civilization Struggle: Great Beauty" is neither the "MVP of the sub-competition" nor the "open source creator" of the series. However, others took the opportunity to kick him while he was down, beat him while he was down, and slightly suppressed or even eliminated a potential competitor.

The once-dominant 'lighthouse' should fall.

Based on a glimpse into the broader history of civilization, the "Civilizational Conflict: The Unspeakable Series: The Great Beauty" strategy for dealing with this incident is as follows:

They attempted to replicate the "closed-off strategy" of the "Conflict of Civilizations and Feudal Monarchical Autocracy Series: Qing Dynasty" to achieve a smooth landing, preserve their wealth and status for a period of time, and leave more time to remain unchanged in the face of all changes.

Ideal is full, the reality is very skinny.

Those who waited to get a share of the pie were not satisfied, so how could the ending develop as "The Struggle for Civilization: A Great Success" had envisioned?

"The struggle of the Dao"—do you participate and want to get out unscathed?

Moreover, those who have made enough money still want to leave, but can they even leave? It's too late!

……

"Open source developers have an initial advantage, but it's not absolute. If they can't snowball that advantage, the outcome will be a drawn-out, drawn-out struggle, like the 'Civilization Struggle: Qin'."

"The 'Civilization Struggle: Qin' fared relatively well. As the 'Open Source of Feudal Monarchical Autocracy Series,' it was more than capable of self-preservation than ambition, ultimately losing the opportunity to advance further."

Through the analysis of this incident, Meng Yi gained a deeper understanding of "open source advocates" and "those who contend for the same principles."

"Open source developers" have created a path that never existed before.

This understanding is correct, but the overall framework of the route has already been clearly defined.

To be precise, an "open source creator" is like adding a branch to a tree and becoming the first leaf on that branch.

"Open source creator = inventor = copyright holder = innovative drug."

"The term 'theorists' = 'technology plagiarists' = 'category imitators' = 'generic drugs'."

The advantages of "open source developers" are not absolute, and the disadvantages of "principles contenders" are not obvious. Innovation can also occur even in "principles contenders." The general trend remains unchanged, but minor details can be easily altered.

The "Civilizational Struggle: Feudal Monarchical Autocracy Series" includes the "Han," "Jin," "Sui," "Tang," "Song," "Yuan," "Ming," and "Qing" dynasties, all of which added some characteristics that suited their own circumstances to the original "Qin" dynasty.

Compared to the contestants who achieved 'unification' in the same track, "Western Chu", "Late Han Dynasty and Three Kingdoms", "Northern and Southern Dynasties", and "Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms" are not qualified to enter the "Civilization Competition".

Theoretically speaking, the one who brought together the best of this 'sub-track' and made the emperor the absolute ruler, "Civilization Struggle - Qing", should be the most likely to win the 'sub-track championship'.

Unfortunately, the "Civilization and Struggle for the Way" came too late, just in time for the transition between the old and new eras.

Conservative, corrupt, arrogant, and complacent, they abandoned their leading advantage and were utterly defeated and humiliated by other "Civilization Path Competition Sub-venues," with countless other forces taking advantage of their misfortune.

What is the true nature of the current "Civilization and Struggle for Purity"?
Various "time travelers" and "writers" often ride on the head of "Civilization Struggle - Qing" and dance.

To be precise, individuals or groups stuck in a stalemate, unable to determine a winner in the "stage of the struggle," may have some status, but in reality, they are just so-so.

If you can't even win in your own section, you can't even reach the finish line in the main race.

I'm busy with a ton of things every day, and I'm too exhausted to deal with those who are trying to pick a fight with me.

This situation is most serious in the "three major cesspools," where everyone, whether human or ghost, wants to step on them.

With such a large and complex system of "civilizational struggles" and "world struggles," the number of issues to be addressed will only increase.

While the power of a group is stronger, it also loses the mobility and flexibility of an individual with great power, making it impossible for them to strike others with ease.

Otherwise, why don't we see any fearless scoundrels openly provoking "Taoist Group·Human Company: Emperor Yan·Shennong"? He is one of the contestants in the "Debate on the Way of Agriculture·Agricultural Era Sub-Venue", and also the "Sub-Venue·Open Source Builder".

The reasons are simple: ① Shennong, an individual with great power, could indeed easily beat people; ② Many of Shennong's old friends and subordinates did not mind helping him with minor problems; ③ Shennong had high moral character and would not make enemies everywhere.

The cost of causing trouble for "Shennong" was disproportionate to the benefits gained.

Aside from a very few idle individuals who have been seeking endless amusement for years, no one would want to make an enemy of a powerful figure who is harmful and offers no benefit.

……

In contrast, for those who engage in "civilized debates" and are prone to making rash mistakes, as long as they don't offend anyone too much, they're generally fine.

The "Civilization Struggle - Feudal Monarchy Sub-Arena - Qing" is a cool way to get free coins, the "Civilization Struggle - Fusang" is also a great way to get free coins, and now the "Civilization Struggle - Unspeakable Sub-Arena - Da Liangpiao" is also destined to get free coins.

"Three cesspools, sigh..."

Meng Yi shook his head and sighed. If he hadn't received guidance from the "True Infinite God" back then, he might have really recklessly plunged into the ultimate pitfall of the "World Dao Conflict".

Are you glad? Not really.

The path was his own choice. Meng Yi only regarded the "World Side" as a channel for the initial accumulation of capital, and in essence, he did not have much attachment to the "World Side".

"I underestimated the true value of the 'three major cesspools'."

What percentage of the total "Civilization Struggle - Great Beauty" does "Version T0," an abstract concept deeply connected to "Civilization Struggle - Great Beauty," occupy?
How many equally monstrous dung monsters are hidden in "Civilized Path · Great Beauty"?
All forces from all directions mobilized, and targeting "Civilization Struggle - Great Beauty" alone was enough?

It is absolutely impossible for them to be one entity. At least, the Hindu group, Trinity Shiva, bluntly stated that "the struggle for civilization in India" is His goal.

"It's a good thing; the distortions rooted in the dark side of all spirits will eventually settle down."

"The fewer disgusting abstract things there are, the better. No wonder the major powers in the heavens are so eager to get rid of them."

Everyone thought "Twisted Demon" was a weakling, but this guy has caused quite a bit of trouble, and the number of people he has corrupted in the "Civilized Conflict" group is simply countless.

Strength and weakness are relative.

Compared to "The History of All Heavens: Unofficial History Phenomenon", "The Primordial Worldview: Information Interaction Phenomenon", "The Great One Gives Birth to Water", and "Great Virtue Carries All Things", "The Dark Side of All Spirits: Twisted Phenomenon" is not up to par, but it is still a formidable character on par with "The Abyss Side: Approaching True Infinity".

It's not that the "Twisted Demon" is weak, but that the "Master of Fate" is too strong, too ruthless, and too insane, discarding extremely valuable pieces without hesitation.

"amazing."

Even in a complete and irreconcilable enmity, Meng Yi couldn't help but admire the decisiveness of the "master of fate".

"This trip serves three purposes: first, to suppress me temporarily; second, to use the remnants of the 'Twisted Demon' as leverage; and third, to incite conflict, deceive others, and muddy the waters..."

"Wait!! You've muddied the water?!"

Meng Yi's gaze narrowed slightly. Every action has a reason. What is the purpose of the "Master of Fate" stirring up trouble?
Moving from the brightly lit stage to the shadowy audience, sacrificing one piece inevitably indicates a deeper strategy!
