Evolution Paradise, are you the disaster?

Chapter 638 Civilization vs. Nature, "The Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan"

It can be said that Lao Liu of "Civilization Struggle for the Way - Xia" did not uphold martial ethics, but the pioneering nature of "Civilization Struggle for the Way - Xia" in terms of system cannot be denied.

The achievements of Yu the Great, the supreme leader of the "Civilization Struggle - Xia Dynasty", are beyond doubt. The story of "passing his home three times without entering" is widely circulated in the "Pan-Human History Series - Earth - China".

Yanhuang refers to Shennong and Xuanyuan.
Huaxia, Huaxia, is the status of "the Xia Dynasty in the struggle for civilization".

Confucius, a proponent of philosophical debate, once stated in the Zuo Zhuan: "The descendants of the barbarians do not plot against the Xia, and the Yi do not disrupt the Hua."

Kong Yingda of "The Struggle for Civilization in the Tang Dynasty" further explained: "China has great etiquette, hence it is called Xia; it has beautiful clothing, hence it is called Hua," emphasizing the cultural symbolism of etiquette and clothing.

Therefore, the Xia Dynasty, which pioneered the "family-based rule" system and can be seen as the origin of the hereditary system, was excluded from the "Three Ancestors, Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors" group, but it still deserves the title of "Human Emperor".

If the mountain won't come to me, I'll think of another way.

After being kicked out of the "Three Ancestors, Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors Heavenly Team", "Civilization Daoist Struggle Xia" has put a lot of effort into other areas, such as the "Primordial Experimental Field" and the "Journey to the West Project Team".

The exclusive weapon of "Mythical Great Luo T4 Sun Wukong" is "Sea-Stabilizing Needle Iron - Ruyi Jingu Bang". This item also has prefixes and suffixes such as "Acquired Merit Spiritual Treasure".

Tracing its origins, this thing was actually a tool used by "Xia Yu," the leader of the "Civilization Struggle - Xia," in his fight against the end of nature. According to this logic, "Mythical Great Luo - Sun Wukong" can barely be considered to have some connection with the "Civilization Struggle - Xia."

……

"The first batch of 'Civilization Trials' resulting from 'Local End Theory' products have been completed."

In the "Paradise of Gods and Buddhas" area of ​​the "Local End Theory Project Team," Meng Yi and others witnessed the phenomenon of "World → Natural Calamity" converging and being materialized.

The newly emerging "natural disasters" manifest in two main forms: "natural disasters" and "earth disasters," both of which are inextricably linked to the various main and sub-venues of the "World Struggle."

"It's normal."

"Yog Sothoth" gave an example: "For instance, the bankrupt 'Civilization Struggle - Fusang,' I remember there's a related '11th-Tier - Original One Piece Worldview,' where those three Marine Admirals wriggling around the planet are 'Ice,' 'Volcano,' and 'Flash,' and the so-called strongest in the world is 'Earthquake.'"

"Based on this, by examining the entire 'Civilizational Struggle' from a specific perspective, we can see that the early 'Civilizational Struggle' groups did not have a good relationship with the 'World Struggle → Natural Arena'."

“When civilization is weak, natural disasters are an inescapable calamity.”

Using terms like "Ice Age," "earthquake disaster," "volcanic eruption," and "meteorite impact" to describe the "disasters" that nature poses to civilization is certainly a narrow interpretation. But the civilization on One Piece's planet is also incredibly weak, merely a tiny karami struggling on a life-bearing planet.

Upgrade surface civilizations to "cosmic civilizations," such as those in the "11th-order Primordial Trisolaran worldview."

The three stars in the Centaurus star system, described by the Trisolarans as the Eternal Era and the Chaotic Era, which shackled the Trisolarans' development, are also a case of survival threatened by natural disasters.
If we escalate the discussion to the "Natural Disaster Series," would the "Cosmic Heat Death" that plagues the "Zero-Returner Salvation Alliance" count?

Do the findings summarized by the "Celestial Forces and Scientific Society," such as "The Great Freeze," "The Great Rip," and "Cosmic Collapse," count?
They are all definitely manifestations of "natural disasters".

"World Road → Natural Sub-Field" is not a planetary ecosystem in the narrow sense, but a "living space" in a broader sense.

The "living space" is vast, ranging from microscopic particles; to continents, planets, galaxies, star clusters, superclusters, the observed universe, and the universe; to cosmic groups, the multiverse, the infinite multiverse, parallel universes; and even "worldviews" with different frameworks and foundations.

Any external environment that allows species to reproduce and civilization to develop can be classified as "natural".

……

"Is nature... the 'True Infinite Union'?"

Meng Yi was not stupid; his vision had been broadened considerably through numerous major events, allowing him to see the deeper things hidden beneath the surface.

"Yes and no."

The members of the "Three Ancestors, Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors Heavenly Team" who have "finished their scenes" and "achieved fame and success", as well as the heavenly teams of the "Civilization Struggle" alliance of other ancient countries.

Their great achievements in the endless spacetime dimensions of the "Local Eschatology Project Group" prompted their propagation cohesion to be elevated and manifested in the "Paradise of Gods and Buddhas" of the superstructure.

The gears of time always keep turning, and the older generation must make way for the newcomers to make their mark.

The "Three Ancestors, Three Sovereigns, and Five Emperors Heavenly Group" used the "Local End Theory Project Team Central Device" to establish the "Paradise of Gods and Buddhas: Civilization Forces - China Alliance".

A few big shots with nothing better to do arrived at Meng Yi's location, intending to see the young man they had never met before.

The "Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan," whose mental form manifested as a middle-aged strong man, spoke with a slightly wistful tone when answering Meng Yi's questions.

He thought of his old rival, Chi You, the leader of the "Civilization Struggle - Jiuli" who came from the "Witch Clan Society".

Chi You is widely known by various nicknames such as "Demon of Soldiers", "God of War", and "Member of the Panda Protection Association".

According to the "Fictional History Organization - History Department," Chi You had two mounts: a war mount, the Iron-Eating Beast, and a pet mount, the Giant Panda. If Chi You hadn't mistaken the Giant Panda for the Iron-Eating Beast during their final battle, the outcome of his war with the Yellow Emperor, Xuanyuan, might have been different. Unofficial history may not be true, but it's certainly unconventional.

……

"There's no need to question the greatness of 'True Infinite Unity,' but the desolate 'Witch Clan Society'..."

The Yellow Emperor, Xuanyuan, sighed, his words carrying a heavy weight.

He recounts events from a long time ago from the perspective of someone who experienced them firsthand.

If "Lin·Zhen Wuxian: Pingxin Niangniang" is the last gasp of the "Wu Clan Society", then "Wenming Daozheng·Jiuli: Chiyou" is the last glow of the "Wu Clan Society".

In its early years, "True Infinity: Union" established the "Witch Clan Society" with the aim of tearing apart "True Infinity: Taiyi's" "Demon Clan Society".

Having achieved great success, "True Infinite Harmony" abandoned the meaningless "Witch Clan Society".

However, the "Witch Clan Society" still follows the path that "True Infinite Harmony" once took: "World Path Competition → Natural Division Arena".

The "shaman" is someone who stands with their head in the sky and their feet on the ground, mobilizing the power of "nature" to possess. Their core concept is irreconcilably contradictory to the "human will to conquer nature" belief held by the vast majority of people in the "civilized struggle".

Moreover, the members of the "Witch Clan Society" are all reckless, with pointed heads, cerebellum attacking brains, and a disregard for life and death, ready to fight if they disagree.

After mediation by "Three Sovereigns Fuxi", also known as "True Infinite Yi", the "Witch Clan Society" was unable to continue its attack on the "Demon Clan Society".

Unable to vent their warlike desires, they could only unleash them on the "Civilizational Conflict" group, whose ideologies were in serious conflict.

The "Witch Clan" advocates coexisting equally with nature, while the "Civilized Struggle" advocates conquering nature, which will inevitably result in a deadly battle.

Without the backing of "True Infinite Unity", the "Witch Clan Society" is clearly no match for the massive "Civilization Conflict" group.

Even if they can gain a slight advantage in the early local wars, as time goes by, it is inevitable that the "Civilization Struggle" will gradually defeat the "Natural Disasters" and achieve a complete victory over the "All Heavenly Forces - Witch Clan Society".

How could a single "power of the heavens" possibly not fail when it confronts the "Civilization Struggle," one of the three great cesspools of conflict?

Let alone the "Witch Clan Society" whose foundation is constantly being depleted, even if it were replaced by the "Taoist Group" or the "Buddhist Group" or other top-tier "divine forces", they would not be able to win against the "Civilization Struggle" in its entirety.

The "Civilization Conflict" is far-reaching and full of hidden talents, so much so that even the "Unification Council," the super overlord of the "Dark Side of the Heavens - The Ultimate Abyss," was powerless to stop it.

The current "Witch Clan Society" is no longer able to fight, its influence has plummeted, and the remaining few and far between are no longer a threat.

There are three reasons why the "Witch Clan Society" was not completely wiped out: ① "True Infinite Harmony" still exists; ② "Lin·True Infinite: Empress Pingxin" is grateful and protects the last remnants of the "Witch Clan Society"; ③ The "Witch Clan Society" that has fallen cannot rise again.

……

"The 'end of civilization and nature' formed by the first batch of 'natural disasters' and 'earthly calamities' is unacceptable and will inevitably be surpassed by 'civilization' sooner or later."

The "Xuanyuan Clan" overlooked the ever-growing, thriving superstructure, "Paradise of Gods and Buddhas."

The "Civilization Cluster" of large-scale infrastructure construction and the "Beast of Civilization Trial Manifestation of Natural Disasters" are engaged in indiscriminate fighting, but "Shennong" does not take the "Natural Disasters" he has already defeated seriously, considering them minor ailments to be nothing to fear.

"What you say is very true, senior. If you cannot overcome external things, how can you talk about overcoming yourself?"

"Neither 'natural disasters' nor 'ignorance' are the true 'final trials' that 'civilization' must face; internal calamities outweigh external ones."

Upon hearing Meng Yi's answer, "Huangdi Xuanyuan" nodded in satisfaction. His shallow test was not enough to stump the cunning Xiao Deng.

"You once figured out for yourself the 'Great Luo Characteristics of Civilization: The Survival of Civilization.'"

"Since both belong to the 'civilization,' do you understand the principle of 'innovation without forgetting our roots, inheritance without clinging to the old ways,' which extends from 'the characteristics of the Great Luo civilization and its continued existence'?"

"Survival is the foundation of civilization; a towering building rises from the ground."

"But we cannot exist for the sake of existing; we must not stagnate in the struggle for civilization. Thus, the principle of 'innovation without forgetting our roots, inheritance without clinging to the old ways' arose."

"Innovation is not wrong, but forgetting our roots is not; inheritance is not wrong, but clinging to the old ways is not."

"How to distinguish between dross and essence is not only a question that the 'debate on the path of civilization' needs to consider, but also a question that every traveler on the path must ponder."

"What belongs to others belongs to others, and what belongs to oneself belongs to oneself. Everyone's understanding is different, and it is impossible to generalize. The specific degree of judgment must be grasped by oneself."

"Measure, standard, more action, more observation, more thought, more reflection... all these apply to all aspects of life."
