Global Crisis: Doomsday is coming once a week

He didn't want to open the Eye of Death for the time being. Mu Chenyi planned to continue the dungeon with his original body to eliminate the damage caused by the dream of the future body.

After the desperate dream dissipated, he would consider using the Eye of Death.

So, in the following time, he did not use the Eye of Death again, but chose to calm down and deal with all the news that he got this time.

First of all, it was about the nightmare. The nightmare corresponded to the fourth prophecy: fear! No one dared to look directly into their own hearts.

Fear is true, no one dared to look directly into their own hearts...

He thought, although he had experienced the reincarnation of despair, but what did it mean to look directly into his own heart?

After thinking for a while, he made a bold decision!

That is, to talk to the Impure Earth Clan!

In reality, when he destroyed the main base of the Saint Clan stationed in the Devil Country, he encountered a large crystal, and he had a conversation with the Impure Earth Clan at that time.

So he guessed that in the 60th year of the Impure Earth Calendar, when he killed Lin Haojie, he should have had a chance to talk to the Impure Earth Clan.

This time, he wanted to get useful words from the Impure Earth Clan during the conversation, and it would be best if he could get what their fourth dimensional weapon was, so as not to let his future self fall into such a passive situation.

Considering this, Muchen Yi made the next decision.

So, he gave some orders to his subordinates, and then began the plan to rule Blue Star.

In the next very long time, Muchen Yi was in various regions of Blue Star, helping players to rule Blue Star.

At the same time, he also set up a regional network exclusively for players.

He posted a message in the regional network, which was about a dimensional weapon that would exist in the later stage of this copy, which might be related to the behavior of the players.

So he tagged all the players and told them not to overuse their power in this copy to do selfish things. On the contrary, they also need to strictly demand themselves, set an example, and supervise the world!

Everyone is an elite who has been selected to join the [Prophecy of the Dirty Earth]. Because the second stage of the Doomsday Game has begun, everyone's life span in the future will be far more than these two hundred years. I hope everyone will be strict with themselves during the two hundred years of survival in this copy!

In order to make everyone believe, Muchenyi also revealed one thing to everyone, that is, the Dirty Earth Clan has eight dimensional weapons, which correspond to the nine major prophecies.

Therefore, if someone does something too sinful, it will lead to very bad consequences in the later stage.

In this half-coercion and half-threat situation, all players also became serious and put away all their greed and evil thoughts.

Muchenyi's idea is very good. His essence is to use the law to turn this world into a "good" world.

But he thinks that "good" often refers to what is beneficial to the development of the human race.

But in the same way, "evil" is the opposite.

For example, killing is not conducive to human development, so it is not "good", but "evil". But often when this concept is applied to an individual, it is affected by complex factors such as different positions and ways of thinking, and there will be situations where people with "good intentions" do "evil things" and people with "bad intentions" do "good things", and good people do evil things and evil people do good things.

From these two points of view, good and evil are both opposite and unified. The opposition between good and evil is a very simple and ancient moral intuition. Many early myths are stories of good gods and evil gods fighting to the death.

Next, I will tell you two short stories.

The first story is that in ancient times, the villagers of a village lived in hardship and pain for a long time. The villagers believed that the pain in life was caused by people's sinfulness, so as long as the sinfulness in the world was eliminated, there would be no pain.

In order to achieve this goal, the villagers held a ceremony - they found an ordinary young man, engraved the most vicious curses on him, and called him "the embodiment of evil".

In this way, the young man was regarded as an evil god, symbolizing the sins of the villagers. Afterwards, the young man was made into a living sacrifice and was treated more miserably than being made into a human stick. For the villagers of the ancient village, they imagined that all the sins had been taken away by the young man, and they were free from sin. This formed an ironic result - the young man who carried the curse actually became a hero who saved the villagers' hearts, but did the villagers really get rid of evil in this way?

In addition to the opposition between good and evil, there is another argument that is popular among many people. They believe that there is no so-called good and evil, white and black, and there is only "gray" in the world.

Then let's look at the second story, a priest who believes in Christianity, but he thinks that his own sense of morality is innately installed inverted. HeHe cannot get satisfaction from ordinary good deeds, and can only feel pleasure by hurting others. This puts his life in a terrible perversion.

For example, he has no feelings for caring for his lover, and only by killing his lover with his own hands can he have a strong emotional experience. He cannot get happiness from loving and doing good, and has never experienced life in the sense of ordinary people.

But the religious education since childhood told him that everything in the world was created by God, implementing God's will and purpose, and God ultimately rewards good and punishes evil.

So why did God shape him into such a "reward evil and punish good" person?

In this case, there are two possibilities for the priest. The first is that there is no God in the world, he is an accidental freak, and everything is an absurd drama.

The second is that there is God in the world, his terrible nature is the test set by God for him, and life is to find the truth of God's will with sin.

The priest who has nothing in his life longs for the establishment of theism. People who are born with moral defects may be more persistent than ordinary people in hoping that there is a theory to rationalize their tragic fate.

So in order to carry out his pursuit of the "meaning of life" and answer the truth of the so-called "God's will", the priest found a way to answer after much thought...

In the priest's view, the reason why humans are nobler than angels is that angels are born good and pursue goodness without confusion. Humans are born with a sinful nature, but they will make choices between good and evil. When people are just born, they don't care about good and evil. They need to experience, accumulate, and generate ideas about good and evil in life, and then gradually form judgments on good and evil. Therefore, the reason why people's judgments on good and evil are precious is that good and evil themselves are people's understanding of the meaning of life, unlike angels, which are innately instilled. (The priest's theory of human nature ignores many things, which will be mentioned later)

However, the priest himself is a creature trapped in the nature of destruction, and has never been able to live like a "human". Therefore, he thought of a very weird way of thinking that can make the killing machine get rid of its nature and get a moment of "real life" - that is, let it kill everything. Since the nature of the machine is to feel pleasure in killing, as long as there is nothing to kill, the machine will not be bound by nature.

At that moment, what did the machine think of the empty world? If, at that moment, the machine felt pain, it meant that he was finally punished.

God rewards good and punishes evil, so in this world, the Creator regards killing as evil. And if he still feels happy, it means that he is rewarded. Similarly, God rewards good and punishes evil, and the Creator regards killing as good.

From the priest's perspective, he is jealous of the lives of ordinary people, and perhaps he hopes to feel pain. If he feels pain, it means that he, like ordinary people, can feel pain when others are hurt.

If he feels happy, then he probably thinks that the world is also very, whether it is the public, himself or God, it is all a ridiculous joke.

He himself longs to know whether the Creator is kind-hearted or has a bad taste, and whether he is good or evil in God's order. To achieve all this, he must kill everything and reach the ultimate nothingness, so that he will not be affected by nature.

For the priest, destroying the world is not a sin, because there is no conclusion whether this world was created by God out of goodwill or malice. Therefore, the standards of good and evil in the world are meaningless before he asks about the essence of God's will.

The priest seems to use a very complicated theory to try to blur the standard of sin and eliminate the necessity of justice, which becomes a "universal innocence theory" that can defend all anti-human behavior.

The priest completely equates good and evil with personal passion choices, that is, whether he can get pleasure from his behavior. From this perspective, the priest is a "high-end" egoist who attempts to subvert everything, but he intentionally or unintentionally whitewashes himself to be more "noble" and "reasonable".

However, this kind of proof of innocence completely ignores the moral nature of human beings and the various moral consensuses formed in history, as well as the social nature of human beings, and actually moves towards nihilism that does not recognize sin.

The opposition between good and evil is a complex opposition. To achieve a balance between negation and affirmation, we must be vigilant against extreme opposition between good and evil, and avoid blurring the distinction between good and evil.

The extreme opposition between good and evil will eventually lead to bad consequences, and the ambiguity of good and evil will not only fail to solve the problem, but will become an all-purpose defense of innocence.

Back to the two stories I just told, the desire to eradicate evil in the world is, of course, a very noble wish. But the problem is that the villagers want others to carry their wishes. The reason they have to rely on "others" is because the purpose of the ritual that the villagers want to perform is to "remove" the evil of people. Because they themselves and even the whole human race will eventually become "free of evil",Therefore, they have to use a "garbage worker" who is not regarded as a "human" to do dirty words and throw all the dirty things on it, so as to make "human" clean and shirk moral responsibility. In the end, as long as this "garbage worker" is killed, those dirty things will be eradicated from the world. However, this kind of thinking of treating others as "garbage workers" can easily combine with people's narcissism and laziness to corrode the moral bottom line. If people believe that the darkness in their hearts comes from themselves, they will still form self-discipline and kindness because of fear of themselves. But if people believe that the darkness in their hearts comes from "others", then there is no need to fear themselves, and self-discipline and kindness will not exist. How much meaning does it have in existence?

Since self-discipline and kindness are useless, what remains is to invent a "garbage worker" to take away all the "evil". However, when the "garbage worker" was invented, what people threw away might not be "evil" but self-discipline and kindness.

The extreme opposition between good and evil will certainly lead to moral degeneration, but if the boundaries between good and evil are blurred, will the moral situation of people be solved?

It's like some people always say that there is no so-called good and evil, only absolute interests. However, the biggest problem brought about by this blurring of good and evil is nihilism, which ultimately eliminates justice. Looking back at the priest's "not guilty defense" in the second story, he believes that good and evil are only related to people's subjective judgment (often with personal interests).

For example, is killing "evil"? Then It depends on whether the murderer agrees with what he has done and whether he has gained something beneficial or experienced from it (for example, the priest can feel spiritual pleasure in killing), rather than whether he has the desire and nature to kill.

He would think that it is wrong to judge good and evil simply from "nature", because what kind of nature a person has and what kind of creator there is in the world are all accidental.

If good and evil are equated with nature, good and evil have nothing to do with people's own choices, but are just rules set by the "creator", "nature" or "environment".

So he completely transformed the standard of good and evil from objective "nature" to subjective "choice".

However, this is just jumping from one extreme to another. If you really accept this If there is no community or even individual with sufficient authority to punish evil, then no community or even individual will have enough authority to punish evil.

Because the social nature of human beings has been eliminated, the highest authority of morality has become the momentary passion of individual choices, or even the "interests" of individuals. In this case, no one is qualified to judge anyone.

This kind of society that blurs the distinction between good and evil is difficult to curb evil, because justice is equivalent to being eliminated, and it is a thorough nihilism.

Looking back at the process of human development, in ancient myths around the world, there are a large number of story fragments of people sacrificing to gods and demons.

The offerings to gods and demons are rarely old, weak, sick, and disabled, and rarely bad people and treacherous people.

The offerings are often holy girls, healthy eldest sons, and dirty young children. The common sacrifice plots in myths often have a basis in primitive society.

In primitive society, human sacrifices were common in order to please the gods and exchange for blessings. If you offer the best existence among the people to the gods and demons, you can get the reward of the gods and demons, or at least be exempted from the punishment of the gods and demons.

This is probably a primitive, dark psychology of exchanging interests with mysterious things. At this stage, people will think that evil is caused by external factors other than humans - such as gods and demons, so they hope to please gods and demons.

People in this state will not regard the sacrifice of innocent people as a sin, and some civilizations even have horrific large-scale human sacrifices. However, when the cruel sacrifice of innocent people develops to a certain extent, it may eventually gradually activate human empathy.
