My monster derivative skills are the orthodox ones

Chapter 71 I Found the Meaning of Time Travel

"Will war accelerate the development of the world?" Yang Tianrui was completely confused. "Junior brother, war will only cause great suffering and displacement of the people!"

"Sixth Brother, you are looking at the problem from the wrong angle." Li Ye shook his head and said, "The Daoist Alliance has gathered almost all the geniuses in the world, and they will not simply consider the problem from one aspect.

Let me ask you, if a lion eats a sheep and a sheep eats grass, who do you think is pitiful?

"Lions are fierce, sheep are weak, and grass has no life." Yang Tianrui thought for a moment and said, "Of course, the sheep are pitiful."

"What if the lion eats the sheep in order to go home and feed its cubs?" Li Ye smiled and said, "Sixth Senior Brother, do you know that sheep will eat the grass roots when they eat grass? Without lions to control the number of sheep, over time, the sheep herd will become so large that no grass will grow wherever they pass.

The grassland will turn into a desert, and without water and soil, more animals will starve to death.

The sheep themselves will also die in large numbers due to desertification even without the intervention of lions.

Lions eat sheep, controlling the number of sheep so that lions can survive; sheep eat grass, controlling the proliferation of grass..."

“……”Yang Tianrui.

"...The world is actually a huge ecological chain. Every species in this chain has its own meaning of existence. There is no right or wrong, strong or weak." Li Ye smiled and continued to add filters to the Daowen League, raising his level. "Sixth Brother, you should jump out of your habitual thinking and look at the problem from a higher level."

"A higher level?" Gray murmured.

Yang Tianrui was stunned.

"Yes, a higher level. This is why I yearn to join the Daodao League." Li Ye sighed, sensing the presence of his senior brother nearby, but he did not stop his temptation. "The purpose of the Daodao League is to seek immortality, and finding immortals is just one of the ways. Most people in the alliance actually take another path, studying the origin of the world, creating a path of cultivation from nothing."

Gray was shocked and his eyes widened.

Yang Tianrui swallowed.

"So, the Alliance brings together elites from all walks of life in the world to analyze and summarize everything through their eyes, hands, and minds." Li Ye said, "The example I just gave comes from the book "Food Chain and Ecological Network" written by a naturalist in the Alliance.

There is another more famous book of the same kind, called "The Origin of Species", which tells how various species, including humans, eventually appeared. There is a sentence in it that I agree with very much, "Survival of the fittest..."

Survival of the fittest?
Gray and the other man were stunned at the same time, thinking about something.

The eldest senior brother who was walking slowly stopped.

If you hear the truth in the morning, you will die in the evening!

Li Ye smiled and changed the subject: "Let's continue talking about the war just now. If we jump out of the narrow level, to win a war, we need more money, more advanced weapons, and train more excellent soldiers... All of this operation requires more people to participate, and the relationships involved are complicated.

The Dao League has a book called "On War", which elaborates on the role of war in promoting social civilization. It would take three days and three nights to explain it clearly. Let me explain it to you with a simple example!"

"Junior brother, please speak." Yang Tianrui said urgently.

What Li Ye said just now caused a huge uproar in his calm mind.

He was fascinated by what Li Ye said about the Wendao League. What an amazing group of people!
"Fourth Senior Brother just told me that Qingyang Sect holds a disciple competition every three years, and the Five Sect Alliance holds a sect competition every ten years. The winning disciples will receive generous rewards." Li Ye looked at the two of them and said, "But no matter whether it is the individual peaks or the Five Sect Alliance, no matter how generous the rewards are, disciples will not kill each other!"

"Of course not." Gray said.

"What if we change the sect competition held every ten years into an invasion by the demon sects?" Li Ye asked.

“……” The two were stunned.

“If we can’t resist the Demon Sect, Qingyang Sect will be destroyed. Will the disciples in the sect work hard to improve their cultivation, research more powerful spells and magic tools, or even research more powerful formations for the sect?” Li Ye asked.

"Of course." Yang Tianrui said. "That's the reason. On one side, there are dispensable rewards. Disciples who have no hope of getting a rank may just go through the motions. On the other side, it's a matter of life and death. If you don't fight hard, you won't survive. Who has a stronger fighting spirit?" Li Ye said.

Gray was silent for a moment, then said, "Of course it's the latter."

"For the victor, war also means a redistribution of resources." Li Ye said, "Sixth Senior Brother, you only see the devastation and displacement of the people caused by war.

But from a macro perspective, war promotes the development of technology and science, promotes social system changes, and promotes exchanges and integration between different civilizations. This is the meaning of war! "

"I understand." Yang Tianrui nodded as if he had realized something. "The people of the Daowen League are indeed a group of geniuses."

"Heaven and earth are not kind and treat all things as straw dogs." Li Ye sighed, "The elites of the Daowen League view the world from the perspective of heaven. They are indeed a group of geniuses.

This is why I just said that there is something wrong with the practice in this world.

People in your world have long lifespans, but they only care about their own cultivation and would rather stay in seclusion for several years or even decades. No one is willing to truly explore the origin of the world and pursue the meaning of existence.

Perhaps this is why the entire cultivation world has been trapped for ten thousand years after the path to ascension was cut off!"

"Junior brother, you are right." Yang Tianrui sighed with emotion and said, "I used to think that your world didn't even have any cultivators, and was far inferior to ours. It was your luck to come here. Now it seems that your coming here is our luck."

Gray was still in a daze.

Obviously, everything Li Ye just said had a huge impact on him.

"Sixth Senior Brother, you think too highly of me." Li Ye smiled and shook his head, saying, "The truly great ones are the pioneers of the Daoist Alliance. Perhaps it is because our world is too backward that such a group of people were born!"

"Junior brother, you just said that you want to form an Asking Dao Alliance here. What do you plan to do?" Yang Tianrui asked.

Gray came back to his senses and looked at Li Ye as well.

"We should follow the model of the Asking Dao League, secretly contact and find geniuses in this world, put aside sectarianism, jointly explore the mysteries of the world, and crack the mystery of ascension..." Li Ye said.

"I agree." Yang Tianrui said excitedly.

"Junior brother, this is difficult." Gray said, "Practicing skills is the foundation of every sect. Once it is discovered that the disciples of the sect have leaked it, what awaits us is endless hunting and killing, and even the master cannot protect us. Moreover, you have to put aside the sectarianism. Once we contact the Demon Sect, we will truly be unacceptable to the world."

"Fourth Brother, I know it's difficult. But I still plan to do it." Li Ye looked at the two of them and said slowly, "I am very lucky to come to Qingyang Sect, meet you and Master.

I can practice peacefully and finally gain a long life, but I really don't want to waste my limited life sitting cross-legged in meditation, only to end up unable to ascend and being trapped and dying in this world.

I knew there was a dead end ahead, but I still had to keep going. I was unwilling to do that.

My two brothers, what I want is to ascend to heaven and become an immortal, not this kind of meaningless practice.

If practicing is just to increase my lifespan by hundreds or thousands of years, I would rather do it with great fanfare like the pioneers of the Taoist Alliance. Even if I fail in the end, I have brought a seed of hope to the world.

I believe that there are wise people in this world, and there will always be someone who understands me.

As long as the ideas of the Daodao League are spread, even if I die, thousands and millions of people will benefit from it.

Maybe one day, the Taoist Alliance has figured out the way to ascend, but I will no longer be here. Those who ascend will also remember my name, and I will live on in another way.

Instead, I have practiced for hundreds of years and only left the title of an elder or peak master in the genealogy of Qingyang Sect.

Some things have to be done by someone, maybe this is the meaning of my time travel! "
