In fact, Su Yi has been thinking about this issue for a long time.
Is there a problem with what Old Man Lin said? Of course there is no problem.
It can be said that it is a pragmatic matter that cannot be more pragmatic.
Do you expect those cultivators who have mastered extraordinary powers to live in harmony with ordinary people, call each other brothers, and think that they are still members of the human race?
The theory of evolution is enough. Who would recognize a monkey in a tree as their own kind?
The difference between top cultivators and ordinary people is much greater than the difference between humans and monkeys.
The great masters of the Crossing Tribulation Period in the world of cultivation can chop the blue planet like a melon.
No matter how many millions of creatures you have, you can destroy them with just one thought.
But an ordinary person cannot win when facing a siege of a thousand or even a hundred monkeys.
Even if you are Tyson, you can't win.
Except for the lack of reproductive isolation and the fact that they look a bit alike, it is completely fine to regard cultivators and ordinary people as two completely different creatures.
Ideas and concepts will change with the environment and time.
Millions of years later, in the eyes of cultivators, what is the difference between people who cannot cultivate and monkeys in the eyes of ordinary people?
No matter from what angle, the metaphysical world will eventually move towards the direction of the magic world.
There is a clear distinction between practitioners and ordinary people.
Of course, the magic world is also a relatively extreme situation, and other metaphysical worlds may not be so extreme.
But even in the serious world of immortal cultivation where Lin Yiran is, Su Yi has never heard her mention the mortals there when she communicated with her.
Because for practitioners, these mortals are dispensable.
At most, sometimes they are afraid of trouble and will protect some mortals and let these mortals help them do some dirty and tiring work that they are too lazy to do.
This is the same as humans providing some feed for cattle and horses, and cattle and horses help people plow the land and carry people on long journeys.
It is not out of pity for their own kind that they protect them, but because they think these cattle and horses are good tools, so they protect them.
This is an objective historical law and the development model of the world under different systems.
To a certain extent, Su Yi and Old Man Lin are just using the moral standards of technological civilization to demand metaphysical civilization.
This is actually a kind of prejudice and arrogance.
In their view, people should be equal.
This is because in the world of science and technology, the existence of most people is valuable to civilization and should be equal.
In the world of metaphysics, this does not make sense at all.
Other practitioners have worked hard for dozens or hundreds of years to have powerful strength. When they encounter foreign invasions, it is the practitioners who fight, and when they encounter monsters and demons, it is also the practitioners who solve them.
They are the representatives of advanced productive forces in the world of metaphysics and the pioneers of civilization.
Now you go and tell them that even if you have practiced so hard until now, even though ordinary people are not as strong as you and have a shorter lifespan than you, your lifetime contribution to civilization is not as much as the few monsters you killed on the way down the mountain this morning when you woke up.
But you are still equal.
Is this right?
Reality is not a slogan, reality is reality, it is there, and you cannot change it.
As for the gap between ordinary people and immortals, it is only because of the different environments and educations they receive, that is even more nonsense.
This can barely be said on Blue Star. Everyone has two shoulders and one head. There is really no difference. As long as they receive the same education and live in a similar environment, the gap between excellence and mediocrity will indeed be infinitely narrowed.
But in the world of metaphysics, this does not make sense.
Cultivating immortals is just like mathematics. If you are not talented and not suitable for cultivation, then you are not suitable for cultivation. Give an ordinary person with no talent the best environment, the richest resources, the most awesome cultivation method, and the most complete guidance from predecessors.
At most, it is just a forced stacking of an individual case that cannot be replicated in batches.
The two civilizations are not the same.
You on the technology side say that the metaphysics side is barbaric and backward, and they also say that you are saintly and indecisive.
But what Su Yi is doing now is to combine the advantages of two completely different forms of civilization, so this is a problem he must face and cannot avoid.
He has been thinking about these things for a long time, and naturally he has thought of some solutions.
After thinking for a while, facing the concerns raised by old man Lin, he still said it out:
"This is a contradiction between two forms of civilization, which is essentially irreconcilable."
"If we want to combine the advantages of the two civilizations, we must first combine the thinking methods of the two civilizations."
"You think we can maintain the current situation only because the metaphysical side has just started on Blue Star and is forcibly suppressed by us with force, so those practitioners dare not override ordinary people."
"Thousands of years later, when we die, those powerful practitioners will naturally not be willing to maintain the status quo."
"That's right, but you overlooked one point, that is, we, or I, are dead."
"This is a typical view of the technological side. People will die after all."
"But on the metaphysical side, people may not die."
"What if I am not dead after tens of millions of years? I am still the most powerful existence that can suppress the entire world?"
"It may not be impossible to use the power of the metaphysical side to suppress all people with ideas and use the rules of the technological side to do things."
"Besides, in my opinion, there is no difference between the two civilizations. In the pure metaphysical world of the magic world, ordinary people pose no threat to practitioners, so they will naturally be bullied by practitioners."
"But let's not talk about the distant future. Just look at the nuclear weapons on Blue Star. How many people in the entire magic world can withstand them? And with the development of civilization, these technological weapons will only become more and more powerful after integrating spiritual energy. You said that practitioners and ordinary people are objectively not the same species. This is true, but it is limited to ordinary people in the metaphysical world."
"Ordinary people on the technological side may not be fish at the mercy of others."
In fact, in Su Yi's view, the two forms of civilization can complement each other.
Just like the bottleneck of knowledge inheritance encountered by the interstellar world can be perfectly solved by the inheritance jade slips on the metaphysical side.
Those technical practitioners in the interstellar world may not be completely unnecessary.
You practitioners work hard to find all kinds of natural treasures, while the technological side can directly mass-produce them as long as the technology is strong enough and they tinker with it.
As for talismans and alchemy, the technology side has figured out the principles and can also reproduce them in batches, which is much more efficient than relying on practitioners to slowly refine them.
The inheritance jade slip is a good example.
The mass production technology in the Tianyu Group laboratory is now basically mature.
As long as it works hard, Tianyu Group can produce inheritance jade slips in one day, which all the practitioners in Lin Yiran's world of cultivation cannot produce in a year.
This is the result of combining the advantages of both sides.
The world is chaotic, not binary opposition. Whether it is black or white, it all depends on how to guide and balance it.
