Chapter 1241 Extreme Animal Protectionist!
Hearing her eloquence, which was completely different from just now, Li Yao immediately understood that these words were probably not thought up by her, but rather a very popular theory in the True Human Empire, perhaps a "brainwashing" technique that every immortal cultivator must accept .
Li Yao is really curious about the theories of immortal cultivators. To maintain such a huge kingdom as the Empire of Real Humans, countless immortal cultivators have to sacrifice one after another. Even after enslaving countless ordinary people, they still call themselves "guardians of human civilization" , Behind such brazenness, there must be a set of theoretical systems that can justify itself, that is, the "Tao Heart" of immortal cultivators, which is the source of their strength!
If one can explore the Dao Heart of immortal cultivators, one can find the source of their power, analyze and study them, and come up with countermeasures.
This is the battle for the avenue between the Federation and the Empire!
This is a great opportunity, and it must not be let go. Li Yao needs to learn how to brainwash the immortal cultivators to wash out such evil and natural ideas!
With a serious face, he saluted Tang Qianhe deeply, and said respectfully: "This junior seems to have grasped something, but the key points are still ignorant. I don't know if Senior Tang can teach this junior the true meaning of the Dao of Immortal Cultivation, including The relationship between ordinary people and practitioners?"
Tang Qianhe's status was the lowest among the three immortal cultivators. Li Yao was a senior and flattered her without showing any traces, which made her very useful.
Tang Qianhe raised his head, and cast his soliciting eyes on Su Changfa.
Su Changfa watched the two coldly not far away, coughed lightly, and nodded.
In their plan, it is not to use Li Yao temporarily, but to make long-term investment, relying on him to occupy the Flying Star Realm.
His identity, cultivation level, and handle are all the most suitable "leading party", at least until he meets the next more suitable candidate, he is still extremely valuable.
If Li Yao can be completely brainwashed into a cultivator, willing to do things for them, the initiative will be much stronger, of course it would be great!
Received the captain's consent, Tang Qianhe smiled and said: "Okay, since you have the intention to change your mind and start a new life, we are naturally willing to help you!"
"Let me ask you a question first. What do you think is the most important thing for a human being, the body or the soul?"
Li Yao blinked, not knowing how to answer this question, which was more in line with his current identity.
Before he could answer, Tang Qianhe said again: "Or, it's better to ask another way. In your Flying Star Realm, are there ghost cultivators? It means that after death, the soul is immortal, and it is attached to some magic weapons and puppets. Continue The kind that exists!"
Li Yao nodded: "Yes, there are quite a few ghost cultivators in our Flying Star Realm, everyone is not surprised, and they treat ghost cultivators as the same kind."
"That's it!"
Tang Qianhe clapped his hands and said quickly, "Ghost cultivators use metal bodies to think with crystal brains; humans use flesh and blood bodies to think with brain cells! Two completely different appearances are regarded as the same kind! "
"To make another analogy, do you know that in the ancient Xiu era 40,000 years ago, there was a sorcery called 'Shifting Soul*', which could transfer a person's soul into an animal's body and exchange it with the animal's soul? "
"Suppose that one day, you are caught by a tyrannical cultivator to conduct experiments, and you are locked up with a monkey, and you exchange your soul with 'moving soul*', your soul is imprisoned in the monkey's body, but the monkey's soul is imprisoned In your body, who do you think is more qualified to be called a 'human', you or a monkey?"
"Of course it's me!"
Li Yao blurted out, "Don't talk about monkeys, even cattle, sheep, pigs and dogs, I am a real human being!"
"That's right, we have the same opinion. This is the only conclusion that has been deliberated in the world of cultivating immortals for thousands of years!"
Tang Qianhe smiled and said, "I gave these two examples just to illustrate that what truly defines a certain existence as a 'human' is neither his genes nor his flesh and blood, but his spirit and soul. A collection of spirit, will and memory!"
"Genes can be screened, modified, and mutated; a flesh and blood body is just a shell, even if it is replaced with a new one, made of metal and spar, it will not change its essence!"
"Cultivating to our level, we can already stimulate genes and cells, and carry out preliminary transformation on the cells of the whole body, so that they become completely different from the 'natural form'!"
"Could it be that we are not human anymore after undergoing a major transformation, growing fangs and scales, or three-lobed lungs, two hearts, and two brains?"
Li Yao shook his head and said sincerely, "Of course not!"
On this point, he agrees with the immortal cultivator.
After ascending to the alchemy stage, the end of the spine of the cultivator begins to swell, and a second brain slowly grows. At the same time, the functions of the internal organs can be greatly strengthened, and even through the practice of a special technique, a brand new one can be born. organ.
Li Yao's "Cell Annihilation Cannon" is the most typical example. It is impossible for ordinary people to grow crystal clear "crystal nodules" on the palms and chests!
From the appearance point of view, Li Yao, who has stimulated the prehistoric cells to the limit, is indeed completely different from ordinary people.
But it would be ridiculous to say that this is not considered a human being!
The essence of human beings is the soul rather than the body. This is the current mainstream view in the three worlds of Tianyuan, Flying Star and Blood Demon, and it is also the theoretical basis for the establishment of the "New Federation".
Li Yao has always been a staunch supporter and promoter of this theory, and his understanding of this theory is even more profound than Tang Qianhe.
As early as outside Tongtian City in the Blood Demon Realm, he used this theory to convince Jin Xinyue, making Jin Xinyue fully recognize her identity.
Playing this trick in front of him, Tang Qianhe is really playing tricks!
"So, as long as you have the soul of a real human being, no matter what your appearance looks like, whether it's flesh and blood, metal puppets, or even weirder forms, it doesn't matter, you can be considered a human being, right?"
Tang Qianhe asked with a smile.
Li Yao obviously felt that there was a trap in this sentence, and after thinking about it for a long time, he couldn't think of any flaws, so he nodded hesitantly.
"So, the reverse can also be established?"
Tang Qianhe's eyes shone with a dangerous light, "The essence of a human being is not a body, but a soul. Although those ordinary people have bodies that are almost identical to ours, they don't have a real soul, so they are naturally not real humans! It's like using 'moving soul*' to transfer the monkey's soul into a human body, of course it's not a human, it's just a monkey that looks like a human!"
Li Yao was dumbfounded, this, this, can this be explained?
He hardly had to pretend, and he really stammered: "Tang, senior Tang, how can we confirm whether a person has a 'true soul'?"
"It's easy!"
Tang Qianhe tapped the center of his brows with a smile, and said, "Look at the spiritual root! As long as you awaken the spiritual root, master the ability to swallow the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and are qualified to fight for human civilization, then you have a real soul!"
"Otherwise, what qualifications does a waste that can't even awaken its spiritual roots have to be called the great title of 'human being'?"
"Remember the example of the parasitoid wasp I just mentioned? Many times, in the host body, the eggs of the parasitoid and the host are raised together, and even the larvae that have just exploded are very similar in shape, but in essence However, they are two completely different species!"
"The same goes for our relationship with ordinary people!"
"Perhaps when our bodies are just born, we have to go through a stage where our spiritual roots have not yet awakened, just like the egg form of a parasitic wasp and a host."
"At first glance, we were no different from ordinary people at that time!"
"However, after accepting the extremely harsh training, some of them will eventually stand out, break through the limit, awaken their spiritual roots, and realize the responsibilities, obligations and glory of being a member of human civilization!"
"Only these people are 'parasitic bees' and are qualified to be called 'true human beings'. This is also the origin of our name 'True Human Empire'!"
"In the empire, everyone is divided into two categories. Cultivators like you and me who have awakened their spiritual roots are called 'real people'. Only real people are eligible to become citizens of the empire, and they are the pillars of human civilization!"
"And those wastes who have been practicing for more than ten years and have not awakened their spiritual roots are of course not qualified to be called 'human beings'. They can be called 'humanoids' or 'original people'. They are between cattle, sheep, pigs, dogs and real people. Between, a relatively advanced animal."
Even though he knew that the other party was brainwashing him, Li Yao still felt the shock of his three views being strongly impacted, and shouted that he couldn't take it anymore.
Tang Qianhe proudly said: "You have been brainwashed by the pedantic ideas of the cultivation world for decades, do you think that what I say is all fallacies and heresies, which are extremely absurd?"
Li Yao hurriedly shook his head and smiled apologetically, "That's not true. The juniors just think that there is still a difference between ordinary people and cattle, sheep, pigs and dogs. Cows, sheep, pigs and dogs can neither think nor speak. But you can communicate freely with practitioners."
"At most, it can only be said that these 'original people' are more human."
Tang Qianhe sneered, "It's not uncommon to see animals with human nature. Cats and dogs are very human. Many people like to keep them as pets. After a few years of raising them, they can have a tacit understanding with their masters and understand the meaning of their master's words and actions. "
"Original people, at best, are just upgraded versions of cats and dogs."
"By the way, in the history of your Flying Star Realm, is there such a thing as an 'extreme animal protectionist'? It means that I like to keep cats and dogs, and gradually become psychologically alienated, and treat cats and dogs as my own kind and even my children. , Turn your hobbies into the commanding heights of morality, climb up to show off your might, don't want others to kill cats and eat dogs, use extremely domineering methods to stop others, and put the rights of cats and dogs above the rights of real human beings!"
Li Yao blinked his eyes, nodded and said, "Not only did it exist in history, but even now, it has become popular, and it's getting worse and worse!"
"That's it!"
Tang Qianhe snorted coldly and said, "In the eyes of us cultivators, those cultivators who are hypocritical and have the mission of 'protecting ordinary people' are just another form of 'extreme animal protectionists'!" (To be completed continued.)
