The Growth of a God

Chapter 168: One is All (23)

When agricultural civilization develops to a certain stage, it will gradually progress from handicrafts to industrial civilization based mainly on machinery.

During this period, automated equipment such as textile machines, internal combustion engines, and industrial lathes will inevitably emerge, which can save a lot of manpower.

However, this rule may not apply to the skeletons.

Because the Skeleton People do not have much agricultural needs, even the domestication of bone-dwelling beasts is only for the purpose of better reproduction.

Therefore, it was not until the wise king Gu Sheng established the Alliance of Hundreds of Races that the people of the skeletons truly broke away from the primitive civilization stage and entered a more peculiar agricultural civilization period.

During this period, the people of Hail experienced three completely different rulers: the wise king, the tyrant, and the prophet.

Eventually, a special ruling class was formed that was suitable for the Skeleton People and suited their own needs - the Think Tank.

You can say it is ruling by doing nothing or letting things take their own course...

The think tank has no direct interference or management rights over the Skeleton People. They are only responsible for guiding the future direction of the entire race.

Under the governance of think tanks, various industries spontaneously form small groups based on different standards.

The skeleton people only need to join small groups in different industries according to their hobbies and expertise, which constitute the current social structure system of the entire skeleton people.

From a human perspective, it is actually difficult to understand why these skeletons have such a high degree of self-awareness.

Sometimes when Li Hao looks at these skeletons, he inexplicably wonders if the Great Harmony Society is the state that the skeletons are in now?
You don't need to consider basic survival issues, so you can choose the direction you like...

There is little concept of parents and family, so most of the skeletons are only responsible for their own decisions...

They generally have a long life span, so they have enough energy and time to slowly try new things...

The education system is universal among all the people, so every citizen has a high level of self-awareness and pursuit...

All these factors led to the formation of the unique social structure of the skeleton people.

Of course, this does not mean that there is no class differentiation among the skeletons.

However, this class differentiation does not distinguish between high and low, and in most cases it is just a personal choice.

There is free movement between classes, and there are no obvious differences between individuals.

Coupled with the absolute existence called "God Ascendant", the truly aspiring people will often embark on the path to Godhood one after another, pursuing the "truth" that is as illusory as flowers in the mirror and the moon in the water.

Then the problem is coming.

What will happen when such a special civilization moves from the agricultural stage to the industrial stage?
Huge factories under unified management are not the mainstream of this civilization.

Mass production of things in a fixed style is not the purpose of this civilization.

On the contrary, due to the huge differences and pursuits between individuals, it is almost impossible for their factories to uniformly produce a single industrial product.

In the world of Malz, in the classroom of cave dwellers.

"So, they eventually become omnipotent."

Through the mind-sensing device, an old cave-dwelling worm synchronized his personal experiences in the mountain and sea world to the young cave-dwelling worms below.

“They don’t need factories.”

"Because they are a small factory in themselves and can produce anything that is needed."

The voice was old and full of nostalgia, and the old cave worm seemed to have returned to his youth at this moment.

"We cave dwellers need metal colonies to survive in that world." "Once the metal colonies are destroyed, even a slightly harsh environment can kill us."

"But the Skeleton People are different. They can even independently create their own 'metal colony suits' without the cooperation of others."

"Because during their long lifespan, accumulating knowledge and wisdom is just an instinct."

At this moment, a young burrowing worm suddenly raised its limbs and asked.

"teacher!"

"I heard that before they came to our world, they were just a group of primitive tribes without even a unified language or writing system!"

"Does that mean that we are their mentors?"

Hearing this, the old cave-dwelling worm couldn't help but laugh, but there seemed to be a hint of sadness in this smile.

"I thought so too before I went to their world."

"But after returning from their world, I have abandoned this naive view."

"They are not primitive, they have simply taken a path that is diametrically opposed to the 'civilization' we seek."

"In order to survive and reproduce, our race united together and gradually developed the brilliant civilization we have today."

"But the Skeleton People do not need to worry about survival and reproduction. Their ultimate goal is 'One is All'."

Amid the astonished gazes of the young burrowing worms, the old burrowing worm slowly expressed his point of view.

"The vast majority of individuals in this world are fragile..."

"So 'civilization' is the aggregation of these fragile individuals, overcoming their inherent defects and eventually working together to achieve the point of 'omnipotence'."

"That's what's called 'all is one.'"

There was a brief pause before the old burrowing worm continued.

"However, the Skeleton People, who have been blessed by God since their birth, do not face much of a survival crisis."

"So they don't need to unite to resist a certain threat and develop a collective-centered 'civilization'."

"Each of them is a seed of 'civilization', and will eventually take root and sprout over a long life, becoming the ultimate individual of 'omniscience and omnipotence'."

"This is what is called 'one is all'."

In the dark that the burrowing insects cannot perceive.

Kanas, the god of darkness and rebirth, who was also attending the class, smiled.

From a god's perspective, the theory proposed by the old burrowing worm seemed so ridiculous.

Kanas has a thousand ways to argue and refute the flaws in this theory.

After all, even the ultimate form of life, "God", does not dare to claim to be "omniscient and omnipotent".

How can a group of lowly undead who were only spotted by the ancient gods by chance and chosen as their followers be qualified to be called “omniscient and omnipotent”?

But it is undeniable that this "one is all" theory did give Kanas considerable inspiration.

No ordinary thing can achieve "one is all", so what about gods like myself?
If you hold all the authority of gods in your hands, can you become as great as the Creator?
