Evolution Paradise, are you the disaster?

Chapter 613 The optimal range to enter the "Daoist Contention Stage"
"No wonder there are so many unworthy people who, by some twist of fate, have signed contracts that restrict their freedom, so it's no wonder they end up slacking off."

Meng Yi discovered that the gap between "Mythical Great Luo" and "Mythical Great Luo" is greater than that between humans and single-celled organisms, and the situation of "virtue not matching position" often occurs.

Some "Mythical Great Luo" may possess unparalleled power, but their actual performance is generally similar to that of the "Soul Hall Elder Clan - Primordial Ancestral Ascended Beings" they created.

"The 'indenture' type of contract completely binds individuals to the corresponding 'celestial phenomena,' with upward mobility entirely controlled by those at the highest level."

"When your efforts don't pay off, and you can't get positive feedback no matter how hard you struggle, you're not in control of your own life or death, and you can't run away. So, leaving the factory is a sensible choice. Who knows, you might get fired if you keep leaving the factory?"

Waste has no value. As long as you act like a complete waste, you won't be taken advantage of. What's more, if you want to get rid of constraints (get fired) by becoming a waste?

The reason for the existence of long-time slackers and hooligans like those in "Mythical Great Luo: Contract of Indenture" has been found.

Meng Yi continued to expand his line of thought. The "Mythical Great Luo - Contract of Indenture" type of things that were thriving were all minor achievements, or people who wanted to easily gain more power by climbing to a higher position and pleasing the most powerful person.

"This one has little potential, while the other has a clearer approach."

The 'other type' that Meng Yi mentioned is the "Mythical Great Luo Contract Worker" type.

If you don't sign a "contract of servitude," you can always switch jobs at a slight cost. In any case, the money you earn from work is enough to achieve financial freedom.

For example, Master Xuanzang of the Yogacara school successfully resigned from the Buddhist group after paying a price.

"No wonder 'Solomon' said 'Mythical Da Luo' was a permanent position, a secure job, a guaranteed livelihood, but didn't say it was a 'contract of servitude.' Once they'd earned enough money and achieved financial freedom, it was perfectly reasonable for them to switch jobs and go solo."

Any "seeker" who has the idea of ​​continuing to move forward cannot accept the "contract of servitude" route, even if this plan can instantly grant them extraordinary individual power.

In theory, an ordinary person of the first rank could easily ascend to the corresponding position by signing the "Mythical Great Luo Contract" and embracing the "predetermined future".

"Nothing is absolute either."

Meng Yi's eyes were deep. "Back during the 'Tree and Sea Dungeon,' if Alicia had accepted the invitation from 'Miracle Radiance,' she could have obtained the extraordinary starting point for the 'Predetermined Future' while maintaining the potential to continue expanding the 'Uncertain Future.'"

"True Infinity: Miracle Radiance"... "Miracle: Path of Revelation"...

"Incredible! This is a solution that is countless times superior, perfect, and complete than the 'Lord of Illusion's' use of the 'Evolution Paradise - Automatic Operation Mechanism' to dissect the 'Phenomena of Unofficial History in All Realms.'"

Is this a manifestation of the difference between "True Infinity" and "Approaching True Infinity"?

……

The gap is definitely not just this. The difference between "True Infinity" and "Approaching True Infinity" is only a hair's breadth apart. A hair's breadth is an insurmountable gap. The two are not comparable at all.

"The foundation for pursuing the 'Mythical Great Luo' path must never be built by abandoning oneself and throwing oneself into a 'preordained future,' believing that one should withdraw when one's accumulation is sufficient. This is a principle of excess being as bad as deficiency."

"Homeless → Stable job → Promotion → Financial freedom → Quitting to start their own business → Reaching the top – the prison's example is quite vivid."

The same passage or book can yield different answers when read at different stages, periods, and from different perspectives.

Meng Yi no longer had any doubts about the "mythical Da Luo" stage of "story-based individual → mythical dissemination," and he had a clear understanding of the general module approach.

"Some unlucky people have no choice."

"For example, figures like the 'Jade Emperor,' 'Chaos,' and 'Chronos of Time and Space' cannot compete with the 'Daoist Struggle Stage.' Their own theoretical paths cannot prevail against the established leaders who have already reached the pinnacle."

"Rather than going to jail at the 'True Infinity' stage, it's better to stay at the 'Mythical Great Luo' stage and slowly expand through painstaking effort. At worst, the progress will be slow, but there will still be progress."

Meng Yi did not believe that the ruthless character of "Mythical Great Luo T1" would embrace "the predetermined future, destiny".

Ignoring their own level of understanding, the thoughts of this group of ruthless individuals are not fundamentally different from those of Meng Yi now. They simply treat the "predetermined future" as their job position and reference point, while actually cultivating themselves on the path of the "uncertain future."

The Jade Emperor's "Cultivation Method of Returning After Tribulations" is just like this, and the "Two Natures of Gods and Ghosts" were born from this.

"It's too difficult to get promoted while working; it's a laborious path that takes a lot of time and energy and isn't worth it."

Thinking of this, Meng Yi said with a strange expression, "Watching young entrepreneurs overtake 'Mythical Luo' in such a short time, the old guard must be feeling quite complicated."

Old Harden has his choices, and Young Harden has his ideas.

Anyone who has ever started their own business knows that out of 10000 people, 9999 will fail miserably and lose everything.

It's true that the bigger the storm, the more valuable the fish; it's also true that the bigger the storm, the easier it is to die. If you don't have enough foundation and recklessly jump into the quagmire of the "Transformation into Pangu Stage" or the "Struggle for the Dao Stage," you'll definitely lose to a seasoned veteran with plenty of wealth, regardless of your connections or personal abilities.

Take writing novels as an example. So what if you create a new genre? Even the founder of the studio wouldn't recognize you.

"The situation during the 'Civilizational Struggle - Qin' was roughly like this."

"Despite being the 'open source' of 'feudal autocracy and unification,' it is being overtaken by a host of successors. Now, relying solely on its 'open source' status, it barely manages to survive in this endless, agonizing cycle, unable to make any further progress."

"The Struggle for Civilization: Qin" was a good example, but it's not uncommon for unfortunate "open source developers" to be crushed by imitators, followers, and plagiarists.

……

Meng Yi pondered deeply and said, "Timing is very important. We can't be too hasty, nor can we be too cautious."

"Mythical Great Luo T1" ≈ "Dao Contest - Halfway Up the Mountain (Sub-Variety MVP)" This one is directly passed. The number of "Mythical Great Luo T1" is even rarer than the number of "Lin - True Infinity".

Even a top-tier player like "Tree Spirit Bro" couldn't get the "Mythical Great Luo T1" through steaming, which shows how difficult it is.

"Mythical Great Luo T5", a junior, is only recently started exploring the "story-based individual → mythical propagation" concept. It's only slightly better than "Great Luo: Eternal Freedom in All Time and Space", so it's still a pass.

The foundation is not yet fully built up, and the process of "narrative individual → mythical dissemination" has not been completed. Adding countless prefixes and suffixes such as "Taiyi", "supreme, highest and greatest", "divine revelation", "all-encompassing, most numerous and perfect", "omniscient and omnipotent", "celestial venerable", "great way", "Nuwa", and "Buddha" is useless. Entering the "body transformation into Pangu stage" is death.

This type of thinking is what Meng Yi had long ago: 'First clarify the cause and effect with the big boss.'

Be yourself; don't try to become someone else's persona, incarnation, alter ego, or vessel.

Even someone as powerful as "Master Xuanzang," when settling the accumulation phase of "Mythical Great Luo," only retained his "Consciousness-Only School Xuanzang," not a bunch of miscellaneous things from the "Buddhist Group."

"Tree Spirit Brother" has abandoned everything even more thoroughly, giving up all his jobs. Only through extreme purity and extreme self-awareness can he stride forward with his own unique spirit.

"Excluding the highest 'Mythical Daluo T1' and the lowest 'Mythical Daluo T5', there are three remaining tiers."

The "Corpse Disintegration Immortal" option accumulates points during the "Mythical Great Luo T4" stage and can advance to the next stage, "Body Transformation into Pangu." However, it will likely result in becoming a reclusive "Pangu" similar to the one in the "14th Tier: Primordial Mythical Mountain and Sea Worldview," thus missing out on the "Dao Struggle Stage."

Meng Yi understood perfectly. "If you don't have the ability, you make up for it with external forces. No wonder you risked your life to get involved in the vortex of the two major events, 'God's Whale Fall' and 'Ragnarok.'"

Even if it means death, one should not regret seeking the Dao. It is either life or death. How could someone who fears life and death possibly give up the secure "Mythical Great Luo" rank?
"That's not appropriate; people's situations cannot be generalized."

"I don't need to recklessly jump into the next stage while I'm still in the 'Mythical Great Luo T4' range."

Meng Yi shook his head; he had many options.

Now that we have "Mythical Great Luo T3" as a reference, there may be more in the future, such as "an opportunity" mentioned by "True Infinite God".

It's rare to find something that "True Infinite God" would call "an opportunity."

It has to be comparable to the "Mythical Great Luo T2" of the "Dao Contest Stage", otherwise it would be a disgrace to "True Infinite God".

"The strategy is clear: if I can seize the 'opportunity' mentioned by 'True Infinite God' amidst the quagmire caused by the 'God-Whale Fall Phenomenon' and the 'Ragnarok' events, which have affected all the heavens, then I can enter the 'Dao Struggle Stage' with 'Mythical Great Luo T2'."

"If the opportunity is missed, there's no need to waste time honing your foundation or becoming invincible at the same level as the 'Mythical Grand Luo.' Entering the 'Dao Competition Stage' as the 'Mythical Grand Luo T3' is the appropriate choice."

Meng Yi was clear-headed; he had no choice, this was the theoretically optimal solution.

That damned "Master of Fate" is relentlessly pursuing him. If the 38th Paradise Chronicle cannot obtain the power to rival the "Master of Fate," then all his efforts will be in vain.

For other "Mythical Great Luo" cultivators, time is not very precious; for Meng Yi, he doesn't have time to dawdle in the "Mythical Great Luo" stage.

Hesitation leads to trouble, and those who are indecisive will never achieve great things.

Once you've made up your mind and are well-prepared, just grit your teeth and move forward.

"Again... in the worst-case scenario, based on the accumulated points of 'Mythical Great Luo T4,' and relying on the gains from the battle against 'True Infinite God' while in 'Miracle Blessed State,' I, having awakened to my true nature, can skip the 'Transformation into Pangu Stage' and directly enter the 'Dao Struggle Stage.'"

"Mythical Great Luo T4" → "Pangu Transformation Stage" → "Dao Contender Stage" Meng Yi completed two leaps in a very short time, soaring from "Mythical Great Luo T4" to an individual power level that was completely comparable to "Mythical Great Luo T2", "Abyss Prince" and "Dao Contender"!
Having made triple preparations, Meng Yi calmly faced the counterattack from the "master of fate," believing that losing to someone of the same level was simply a matter of being less skilled.
