Chapter 1362: Extraordinary Strength Also Requires Skill

The world of science and technology has developed to the level of "broken stars", and the next goal may be to build a "Dyson sphere".

However, human|human individuals are still as weak as ants compared to extraordinary people.

The most intuitive comparison is life expectancy.

In today's technological world, all kinds of methods to increase life expectancy are available, such as genetic modification, organ replacement, consciousness transfer, etc., and no one can live beyond two hundred years.

One very interesting thing is that on the one hand, human beings are studying the method of longevity, and on the other hand, there are many "cultural people" who preach the suffering of longevity.

How ridiculous!

A group of short-lived species with a lifespan of only a hundred years always like to use their own cognition to imagine all kinds of hardships for the long-lived species.

The sages once said: summer worms cannot speak ice.

Looking at longevity from the perspective of short-lived species, isn't it like being a summer insect but imagining the ice and snow in winter?

Some people say that if this person lives forever, he will watch relatives and friends around him die one by one, and how lonely he is in the world in the end!

But the question is, when you don't live forever, wouldn't you watch the relatives and friends around you pass away?

What, are you the one who was watched by others?

Let's talk about the "loneliness" of longevity.

When you co-author, you make a "batch" of friends, and this "batch" of friends has passed away, so you will never make friends again in this life, right?

The ancients said that "things of a kind flock together, and people are divided into groups".

Even if you can't stand the departure of short-lived friends, don't you still have long-lived friends like you?

Isn't that what the ascetics mean by "Tao companion"!

But again, whether it is a long-lived species or a short-lived species, they will still experience "parting" after all.

If you are afraid of parting, then it is not a question of whether you will live forever, but simply don't live.

In the final analysis, two words sum it up, that is "arrogance".

Because of arrogance, I think that my feelings are extremely great, that my thoughts are extremely deep, and that my ideas are extremely lofty.

However, in fact, the capital obviously scoffed at the remarks of "cultural people", otherwise they would not invest in the research of longevity.

By the way, among the reasons why "cultural people" oppose longevity, there is another one: if there is longevity technology, only the rich and powerful will enjoy longevity, and the poor will lose their equality with the rich in terms of life expectancy .

It seems that without the technology of longevity, the poor and the rich are really equal in terms of life expectancy.

Survival is the instinct of living things.

The pursuit of longevity is also based on the instinct of survival. There is no essential difference between "wanting to live one more year" and "wanting to live another hundred million years".

In fact, man is not much higher than other living beings.

Humans do think more than other creatures, and they do have the ability to control their instincts, but normal people also want to live a few more years.

Those "cultural people" who talk big and say that they only have a short-lived brilliance are just because longevity is not yet possible, so they use such big words to highlight their own style.

Just like that joke, some people say that if there is 10 million, all will be donated, but in fact it is because there is not 10 million.

Back to "extraordinary".

In fact, for many people, the desire for extraordinary power may not necessarily lie in how powerful they can have, but whether they can live forever is the driving force.

Let’s talk about the world of Taoism, who doesn’t practice Taoism for longevity?

Maybe, there will be special reasons, such as for revenge, for the unification of the rivers and lakes, for some messy reasons.

But it is undeniable that most people still want to live forever.

Although, among those who practice the Tao, even if they are for longevity, they may not always get what they want.

From Qi training to foundation building, from foundation building to Jindan, and then from Jindan to Yuanying, each level of realm is a threshold.

Every threshold will keep the relative majority out.

However, hope is ahead, and there are so many predecessors and role models, the latecomers will naturally continue to follow suit.

Therefore, "Longevity" is definitely an essential component in order to make extraordinary power acceptable to the public.

Especially those rich and powerful families, those who are worried that their own people will still have no money, all of them have been thinking about longevity and thinking that they are going crazy.

These people will both help and hinder the spread of extraordinary power.

It is help, because they will try their best to get it.

It is an obstacle, because they will also try their best to prevent others from getting it.

A decree, declaring a certain behavior illegal, and then quietly profiting from it is a skill that those in power have used for thousands of years.

It's just that this method can stop others, but it can't stop Ye Zan.

After all, with Ye Zan's ability, as long as others are willing to accept, nothing can become an obstacle in the middle.

Ten thousand steps back, interest groups really control information to the extreme, and Ye Zan can also move to "face-to-face" teaching through the quantum field.

Of course, in reality it shouldn't be.

After all, no matter which world you are in, whether it is the world of cultivation or the outer world, extraordinary power has not spread to the whole people.

On the one hand, there is a so-called "qualification" threshold for mastering extraordinary power.

On the other hand, similar to "poor culture and rich martial arts", the people at the real bottom, unless there is some great opportunity, the average person still has no chance to be extraordinary.

This is the reality, "everyone is like a dragon" is just a good wish.

Again, there is no absolute fairness in the world.

In addition, Ye Zan considered using "longevity" as a bait, but he didn't actually want to add "longevity" to the extraordinary element.

In fact, transcendence itself can be said to be the evolution of life forms, and naturally there is an element of "longevity" in it.

Looking at the countless extraordinary worlds in the heavens, there is no one who says that the more you practice, the shorter your life will be.

There may be some extreme methods, such as overdrawing one's vitality to urge a stronger force or something.

However, that is just a means, some "heretics" under the entire Transcendence system.

It's like: most vehicles will drive on the road in a regular manner, but there will always be a few who don't obey the traffic rules, overtaking and other cars will harm others and themselves.

Generally speaking, the evolution of life forms is to improve life in all aspects.

It's just that different extraordinary powers will have different development sequences in the development of each characteristic.

Therefore, Ye Zan's calculations are mainly based on the consideration that "Longevity" should be shown to the world first.

Some extraordinary powers, not to mention longevity in the early stage, may even shorten lifespan.

For example:

There is the so-called "magic world".

The magical elements there will cause serious erosion to the magician's body.

Under such erosion, if a magician can't become a "half god" or "lich", his lifespan may not even be as good as that of an ordinary person.

Another example:

Somewhat similar to the civilization of the Taoist world, the so-called "Martial Arts World".

Train the skin and bones, refine the tendons and internal organs, treat the flesh||body as a piece of wrought iron to continuously temper.

It seems that the more you practice, the stronger your body becomes, but a stronger body does not mean that your life span will be prolonged.

Only by tempering the flesh || body to achieve a qualitative change, in the words of the scientific and technological world, breaking through the limit of cell division, can the lifespan of this flesh || body be truly extended.

So, instead of displaying extraordinary power, people will definitely be able to see "longevity".

And what Ye Zan has to do is to adjust the order, so that the benefits of "longevity" can be more easily revealed.

It's like a game called "Plague Inc."

In the game, in order to spread the plague virus to the whole world, the characteristics of the virus such as "spread", "lethal" and "drug resistance" need to be adjusted in a targeted manner.

If you set a high fatality rate as soon as you come up, the host will be killed as soon as the virus is infected, and there will be no time for further spread.

Extraordinary power is certainly not a virus, but it obviously needs some methods if it wants to spread better.

After all, people in the technological world desire "longevity" far more than "power".

No way, who said that the environment of the technological world is generally in a stage of "civilization", "peace", "legal system" and "equality".

In such an environment, whether a person's strength is "strong" or not doesn't actually mean much.

In particular, there are personal equipment such as "auxiliary chips" and "nano combat suits", and there are also military equipment such as "individual exoskeleton armor", and there is really no need to improve personal strength.

If you tell them to dismantle Gundam with bare hands, they can't imagine it. After all, there are so many extraordinary types of film and television works.

However, in reality, is it necessary to work hard to practice?

Just imagine, the results of decades of hard training on your side can be achieved on my side with a piece of technological equipment. How many people can concentrate on practicing?

In fact, not to mention the world of science and technology, even in the extraordinary world, not everyone wants to cultivate extraordinary power.

Like the world of monasticism and secular dynasties, there is still a lot of thinking that "everything is inferior, only reading is high".

Back then, when Ye Zan went down to the secular Tang Kingdom for the first time, his status as a monk was still dismissed by some scholars.

On the one hand, it is not ruled out that there are sour grapes mentality. After all, cultivating the Tao also depends on aptitude, and not everyone has the qualifications to cultivate the Tao.

On the other hand, the operation of society requires talents in all aspects, and the so-called "only martial arts" can only exist in fantasy.

Generally speaking, it is to regard "ascetics", "wizards" and "magicians" as one of the many professions in society.

It's just that, just like "politician", "general", "migrant worker" and "soldier", each profession has obvious distinctions.

Moreover, in the eyes of the secular public, "extraordinary professions" are not necessarily the most advanced professions.

A career with high qualification requirements and years of practice may not yield much results, no matter how you look at it, it doesn't seem like a good choice for career selection.

Fortunately, in other extraordinary worlds, there are often some extraordinary alien races, which forces the "human race" to devote energy to developing extraordinary power.

Just like the world of cultivating Taoism, in the ancient times, there were monster races and witch races, and the weak human races were like domestic animals kept in captivity at that time.

It wasn't until the human race developed in extraordinary power, had a complete and advanced system of cultivation, and had saints to suppress luck for the human race, that it was considered to be free from the status of being a monster.

However, in the world of science and technology, even if human beings do not have extraordinary power, they can already achieve the level of "suppressing luck" with the power of science and technology.

Therefore, for the general public in the world of science and technology, the so-called "power" of extraordinary power is far less attractive to people than "longevity".

That is to say, "life extension" should be the first priority, and the effect should be easier for the public to see.

It's not that everyone can live forever after practicing, but at least it's earlier to break through the shackles of cell division.

Of course, this does not mean that everyone can do it.

After all, taking the realm levels of the world of cultivation as an example, the Qi Refining Realm on the first level has already filtered out 60% to 70% of people.

If you can prolong your life for several decades in the Qi Refining Realm, that is already a big enough temptation.

I'm afraid, as long as there are conditions, regardless of whether they have the qualifications, people will try their best to give it a try.

After all, if you succeed, you can live for decades longer, and if you don't succeed, you won't have too much loss.

And after stepping into the threshold of extraordinary power, they will face the temptation of the next level that may prolong their lives for tens or hundreds of years.

In fact, there is nothing to say later, the power system of the world of cultivating Taoism has reached the later stage, and the range of life extension is so large that it is "exaggerated", and the Yuanshen realm can live for thousands of years.

Thousands of years!

How long is the human || human history in the technological world?

Affirming the importance of "life extension" does not mean giving up the pursuit of "powerfulness". After all, we must also consider the situation that the world will face after upgrading.

The scientific and technological power in the technological world is very powerful, but there is a big deficiency in targeting powerful individuals.

This is also something that can’t be helped. There has never been a strong enough individual in the world of science and technology, and naturally there is no targeted research on any technology.

The starship is very powerful, and it is not a problem to smash a planet.

But if a powerful individual enters the battleship, let alone Ye Zan, who is in the realm of Faxiang, even if he is a person in the realm of Yuanshen or even Yuanying, all the soldiers on the ship will have to be slaughtered.

In fact, it might as well be more unbearable, if it weren't for the limited mana of the Foundation Establishment Realm, the Foundation Establishment Realm alone would have been enough to kill them all.

In the world of science and technology, the equipment that strengthens individuals, whether it is nano-combat suits or individual armor, is in the final analysis the function of strengthening the flesh||body.

Stronger strength, faster speed, including more ingenious fighting skills, are all the expansion and strengthening of the flesh||body function.

However, ascetics in the world of cultivating the Tao already have mana in the foundation building state, and can cast some strange spells, and can also use talismans and magic weapons.

For example, some means against the soul, no matter how powerful the equipment is, it will not help.

Unless, like a martial artist who can condense qi and blood to feed back the soul, it is possible to avoid being affected by those elementary methods of the soul.

It's a pity that people in the technological world, aside from technological equipment, their bodies are also very fragile.

If the world of science and technology is given time, perhaps after learning a few lessons, they will be able to study the means of defeating the enemy in a targeted manner.

Just like Ye Zan back then, didn't he think of using electromagnetic pulse bombs to target ghosts and ghosts?

However, after all, it is not as reliable as being strong.
