Chapter 1224 All Living Beings Are Equal
Luo Feng originally thought that by forcing the Gods to the point where they would perish if they did not compromise, he would be able to suppress their arrogance and force them to look at the Humans. However, he did not expect that Lord Lei Ze snorted coldly and said resolutely: "The Gods will not accept it. A humiliating alliance under the city, even if we fall because of this and become humans in the next life, we will still have the glory of gods for tens of thousands of years in this life until we die!"
Not long after this powerful declaration was uttered, looking from a high altitude, the rolling torrent in the south was slowly advancing. Above the tide, a nine-headed monster snake was walking through the waves. Behind the monster snake were countless heavenly soldiers and generals with dull expressions, and the leader of the Moon Worshiping Cult. The divine zombie army led by him is about to arrive on the battlefield.
Even though the remnant soldiers of the God Clan knew that they were about to die, they calmly lined up in formation, burning their lives with brilliant golden divine light, and assuming a decisive posture of willingly dying.
This time it was Luo Feng's turn to be embarrassed. Although the death and immortality of these divine soldiers were both beneficial to the human race, as far as his personal preference was concerned, it was more appropriate for him to act compassionately and be a good monk.
Luo Feng attaches great importance to the basic qualities of an actor. When he pretends to be a good person, he can be hypocritical but cannot show true evil. If he really adds insult to injury and watches the gods being massacred, his character of a moral monk will collapse!
What's more, he had finally established an extremely disguised and positive image among the human race, which caused the protoss to have his disguise suddenly exposed, revealing his duplicity.
Lei Zezhu glanced at Luo Feng coldly, and raised the lightning with both hands. Even though his divine thunder had no effect on the water monsters, he still had to charge forward, set an example for the divine soldiers, and was willing to be the first. One died in battle.
Just when he turned around and was about to leave, Luo Feng quickly stretched out his hand to hold him back and said, "Exalted Immortal, please stay and listen to what this poor monk has to say!"
Lei Zezhu turned around and said in a cold voice: "We don't need help from the human race. Neither coercion nor inducement will change my mind. What else do you have to say?"
"I just want to reason with you." Luo Feng smiled bitterly and said: "The human race is just asking for an equal status, and it is not that it wants to ride on the head of the gods. Why is it like this?"
"The Gods were created to follow the word 'order'. If the order of superiority and inferiority is disrupted, the Gods will lose their foundation."
Lei Zezhu said loudly: "The way of heaven is eternal and cannot be blasphemed! The dignity of the gods is the destiny of heaven. If the human race is given the same status as the gods, it will be contrary to nature. If you can maintain peace for a while, you will be punished by heaven in the future!"
Luo Feng finally understood the mentality of the Gods this time. It turned out that it was about recharging faith, not about profit or loss.
"Wait, is there some misunderstanding here?"
Luo Feng frowned and said: "The way of heaven has never stated clearly that it is the rule for gods to respect humans and to be humble. You gods are just born strong. If you insist that the natural law of 'the weak eats the strong and the strong is respected' is the way of heaven, then what the gods respect What is the difference between the so-called 'order' and the beast's 'chaos'?"
Lord Lei Ze said proudly: "The fact that the gods are born powerful is just one of them. Gods often receive enlightenment from the heavens, and following the path of heaven is the ironclad proof that the gods are born noble!"
Luo Feng shook his head and said: "The Immortal is ridiculous. After the previous catastrophes of world destruction, the way of heaven clearly hinted at the truth that only the six realms of 'all living beings are equal' can be safe. Sedum is the reincarnation of the gods from the human race, Nangong Huang is a demon clan, and I am afraid that there will be demon clans who will step forward to save the world in the future, and the partners who will follow these sons of destiny to save the world are also mixed from different races. Isn't this the best proof that all living beings are equal?"
Lei Zezhu sneered: "Each race is born with different talents, living environment, qualifications, and blessings. Even if some inferior races put in hundreds of times of effort, they are not as successful as the high-level races who practice casually. There are many such examples. , you also said that all living beings are equal?"
Luo Feng spread his hands and said: "Yes, this is the principle of 'all animals in Animal Farm are born equal, and some animals will be more equal'. Even if it is a bit disharmonious, it is still more progressive than blatantly shouting about 'inequality' Ah, the level of civilization is different from that of an era!"
Lei Zezhu was almost stunned by Luo Feng's weird remarks. Compared with "equality" and "more equality", isn't "equality" exactly "inequality"? How advanced can it be?
Luo Feng said patiently: "In the view of us Buddhist practitioners, if all living beings can awaken and become Buddhas and gain great wisdom, of course all living beings are equal, but whether all living beings must first become equal before they can be enlightened, or whether they must be awakened before they can be equal, which comes first?" The paradox of which came first, the chicken or the egg, is that the ideal is perfect but the reality is very complicated.
As enlightened men of great wisdom, when we preach the Dharma, we, the eminent monks, hold ourselves to the highest standards, set an example for ignorant sentient beings, and implement the law of equality for all sentient beings in our words and deeds. The slogan must be shouted first to see how many ignorant sentient beings can be infected, even if it is only a little bit. Regardless of gains and losses, the direction will not be wrong. Only by gathering sand into a tower can the world move forward instead of going back and forth or even going backwards. "
Luo Feng was afraid that Lord Lei Ze, a ten thousand-year-old feudal man, would not understand, so he used Buddhist practice principles to explain the advancement of civilization, but it was effective. The God of Thunder listened thoughtfully to what he said.
"Fuxi's sealing of the Well of Demon Gods to isolate the communication between humans and gods has actually hinted that he began to think about the equality of humans and gods. Otherwise, Nuwa has passed away and the gods are countless times more powerful than the humans. It is completely possible to allow the corrupt gods to continue as they did in ancient times. Oppressing mortals is actually a kind of protection for the human race. Humans and gods do not interact with each other or interfere with each other until death, which is also a disguised form of 'equality'."
Luo Feng had a lotus tongue, and he used various methods to make references. It didn't matter what Fu Xi's idea was to isolate humans and gods. Anyway, the old man had been in hiding for a long time and would not jump out to expose it. He would just twist and make it up, and say whatever it was beneficial to say.
"The times are developing and society is progressing. Classification of a few "nobles" by class will only attract the hatred of the majority of "bitches". The catastrophe is born out of hatred and destroyed out of love. We still stick to the old idea that 'gods are born noble' Feudal thinking is the real reason why the Gods are going to perish!"
Luo Feng spoke eloquently: "All living beings cannot have classes, but they can have grades. Order must form a cycle of ups and downs to be sustainable. It does not mean that the gods and humans have signed an equality treaty and it is not noble. Beautiful characters will always be respected... "
Lei Zezhu suddenly thought about it and interrupted: "All living beings cannot have classes. What does it mean that there can be classes?"
"It means that even if you are born rich and talented, you have to work a hundred times harder than others in order to be respected and recognized."
Luo Feng said: "Just because you are gods, you are born noble and enjoy happiness. All living beings will inevitably shout, 'Why!', but you are gods, and you work harder than mortals, and you make contributions to the six realms every moment." Only by making huge contributions can you stop Youyou's mouth and eliminate boundless resentment. Only by recognizing that all living beings have the right to compete equally, leaving promotion channels for sentient beings in the other five realms, and using their contributions as the judging criteria, can the Gods truly become noble. Otherwise, you are just a group of pretentious spiritual worms, why would you get any respect?"
After saying that, Luo Feng waved his hands and made a "goodbye" gesture, and said: "If the poor monk is still not convinced by the teachings of the Immortal, then please ask the Immortal to die generously upholding the false glory of the gods. In the next life, I will be a poor monk." I will personally teach your reincarnated son the principles of life, and will definitely train you to be a useful person to all sentient beings in the six realms!"
