Chapter 832 Monsters Die When They Are Killed, The Complete Collection (5400)

Transformation into the Dao, loss of self, and essence all refer to the same thing.

It is precisely because one is inherently one with their own Great Dao, inseparable from each other, that even their own will gradually integrates into it, becoming a part of it.

Of course, saying it is transforming into the Dao doesn't mean there are no effects at all.

A Dao-Integrating powerhouse who has lost their self will become a central hub of the Great Dao they created, becoming a powerful cosmic phenomenon.

For example, ‘creation’… the so-called Ruins of Creation, is essentially a part of the remains of the Creation Dao Lord Alster after his death, constantly receiving various information transmissions from the multiverse, conducting ‘creation’ in that area.

If He had not died, but instead transformed into the Dao within it, then He would probably become a ‘creation vortex’ that continuously receives information from all over the multiverse, creating various races of dependents and sub-dependents, a massive ‘Great Dao Entity.’

He might even, from this Great Dao, give birth to a pure ‘Conceptual God,’ a ‘Dao Made Flesh’ responsible for managing this lineage of the Great Dao, but without any personality, merely a pure incarnation of rules.

Existences that have transformed into the Dao are not impossible to awaken, but it is exceptionally difficult.

After all, their Great Dao and self have already been scattered throughout many worlds, even the multiverse. If one wants to collect all the fragments of their mind, they must at least be a Transcendence capable of surveying the entire multiverse in an instant.

However, compared to a Dao-Integrating powerhouse who has transformed into a ‘Great Dao Entity,’ it is a bit more convenient to revive one with a ‘Dao Made Flesh.’

"Perhaps, the so-called torrent is an existence that has transcended this ‘Tribulation of Dao Transformation’ and can infinitely spread their own Dao."

Lowering his gaze, Su Zhou murmured to himself, "And my Dao Integration, from the very beginning, has to face the most fundamental challenge between ‘Dao Integration’ and ‘Torrent.’"

The challenge of going from finite to infinite, touching that layer of ‘barrier.’

But there was no need to tell Shao Qiming and the others about these problems.

At this moment, Su Zhou looked towards Earth.

Thus, above the gray mist, a screen of light appeared before Su Zhou and Shao Qiming, showing the scenery of Earth.

Surrounding the beautiful blue planet was a layer of three concentric rings surrounded by brilliant spiritual light, and on the rings, stars flew in reverse, heading straight into the cosmic starry sky, sailing into the distance.

The super-large discrete space station [Overturning Heaven Wheel], in essence, is three small solar energy harvesting rings, composed of small spiritual energy crystals with a quarter of the mass of the moon, which can refract sunlight and spiritual currents, regulate the Earth's weather and the Earth-Moon system's spiritual energy cycle, and completely control the ‘spiritual vein changes’ that should have been naturally transformed into human hands.

Speaking of this, I have to thank Su Zhou—the building materials of the Overturning Heaven Wheel came from a spiritual crystal nebula area in the depths of the universe, and the porters were Tang Yuan and nine etheric giant dragons... yes, those etheric giant dragons who yearned for Su Zhou, because they ate too much, so Tang Yuan found them a job to lose weight, and unexpectedly, the accumulated large amount of spiritual crystals could be used.

Eating and drinking for free? How is that possible! If you eat, you have to work. The New World Exploration Department does not support idlers!

With the success of the Overturning Heaven Wheel, an even larger, super-giant Overturning Heaven Wheel targeting the sun is also in the planning stages, but it is basically impossible to achieve without a Celestial Immortal sitting in town. Even with the foundation of the earth, it is estimated that it will take decades to produce a Celestial Immortal—after all, without world-destroying disasters to accelerate the forcing, and without Su Zhou, this cheat, this speed is already very outrageous.

"So beautiful."

The young man couldn't help but sigh.

It has been more than two years, or perhaps three, since he left Earth.

The flow of time between each world is different, but it can be roughly converted, and it is estimated that it is in this range.

As Earth civilization gradually moves towards interstellar space, and constantly opens the sealed space-time doors located in various parts of the earth, obtaining the legacy left by the ancient era of immortals and gods, and the national extraordinary system is increasingly entering a better state, the entire Earth civilization is gradually moving towards a new era different from the past.

First of all, there is the basic change in the social structure.

In the past Earth, the vast majority of human beings were engaged in the first and second industries, focusing on obtaining resources to maintain their survival. Those who were off-production were a very small number, let alone cultivators.

But now, with the opening of gardens and agricultural worlds, the discovery of giant marine worlds and forest worlds, all kinds of forestry, animal husbandry and fisheries have extremely rich and stable sources, and with the use of artificial intelligence, spiritualized puppets and other technologies, only less than one percent of the population can obtain enough resources for five times the current Earth's population to squander and waste at will.

Such a terrifying resource acquisition rate almost instantly eliminated all basic resource producers' jobs, and also instantly eliminated all past conflicts caused by resources.

Losing a job is indeed a problem, but it is not just the people in the primary and secondary industries who lost their jobs. The service industry is not irreplaceable. The service capabilities of most humans are far inferior to artificial intelligence and related intelligent puppets.

In other words, as humans gradually move towards the stars, except for a very small number of professional technicians, most humans have permanently lost their jobs.

So, just go and cultivate.

Off-production cultivators, or in other words, unemployed vagrants, have completely become the occupation of more than 90% of human beings. This brought a period of panic and a period of celebration in the early days.

Panic, because of leaving the ‘tradition,’ mankind is going from the known to the unknown.

And celebration, is to celebrate that human beings have finally escaped from the predicament of survival, and arrived at the ‘Kingdom of Freedom’ from the ‘Kingdom of Necessity.’

The era of Great Harmony has arrived—a super prosperous era where only a small number of people need to work to support tens of billions of people has descended on Earth civilization.

And where will these tens of billions of off-production cultivators go?

Most of the people who have experienced the ‘pre-Great Harmony era’ feel freedom after becoming cultivators. No need to work, no leaders, everyone is equal, even high-level cultivators will not have any privileges when they encounter low-level cultivators, and the strong cannot bully the weak... well, if Su Zhou, who formulates the rules, bullies all the strong who want to bully the weak, then it cannot be said that there is none.

After all, unemployment is unemployment, and the people of the pre-Great Harmony era at least know how society works, and know why they lost their jobs, and have also developed orderly living habits, so after becoming cultivators, they will still have inertia to live in an orderly manner.

In short, they live very happily—the people have contributed their lives to the human society, and now, human society can finally completely feedback its people.

This is the reward they deserve, because they have paid in the past, so they know the value of all this.

They were once oppressed and exploited, so they can truly understand ‘freedom’ and ‘Great Harmony.’

There is no need to worry too much about these people.

However, children who were only elementary school students, or even just born, when the spiritual energy revived, these children who know nothing about the hardships of the past society will feel confused when they come to such a Great Harmony society.

——What should I do? What am I living for?

——What is the meaning of my existence in this world?

A confused heart is the seed of dusk.

This is the most noteworthy situation.

Species originating from the ‘Kingdom of Necessity,’ the new generation of humans in the spiritual energy revival era, are always difficult to adapt to the ‘Kingdom of Freedom’ life.

In the final analysis, Earth is not a mystical cultivation society of fantasy Xianxia, where the strong are respected, and has not yet cultivated the atmosphere of ‘everything is inferior, only cultivation is high’—that would be simple, everyone would not compete for work, but would compete for cultivation.

If you don't compete, other strong people will not treat you as a human being, and they will not allow you to stand while they are standing.

If you don't want to kneel, you have to die.

In that case, no matter how developed the productivity is, the people will definitely have the motivation to develop.

It sounds pretty good, even in a Great Harmony society, there can be a crazy arms race to steadily maintain social progress, which is great.

However, the strongest people, with Su Zhou as the leader, will not allow this kind of atmosphere to appear.

"I have killed so many of this kind of trash in other worlds that I can't even count them. I've killed a whole bunch of immortals and gods."

This was Su Zhou's original words at that time: "No matter who oppresses whom, I will oppress him—if you have the ability, defeat me first, otherwise, I will not allow Earth to become like that."

"I haven't even acted like a tyrant, and some people dare to use ‘their own strength’ as an excuse to be superior? Just watch me eat him alive when the time comes!"

Although Su Zhou hasn't eaten evil souls for a long time, it is obvious that everyone believes it.

The Divine Beasts of the Beast God Realm instantly trembled, taking the lead in expressing their response to all the instructions of Su Zhou the Great Heavenly Venerate (now Dao Integration).

——After all, eating people might be fake.

But Su Zhou will really eat divine beasts alive!

With rules, there can be standards.

A cultivation method without privileges or the ability to act like a tyrant is, in the final analysis, just a longevity method that prolongs life. Everyone will cultivate and yearn for cultivation, but they may not regard it as the only thing, and naturally they will not compete.

Longevity, having power, not knowing what you should do, living without any pressure, and having enough resources for cultivation... it is difficult to say what kind of motivation children growing up in such a big environment will have to move forward.

After all, even in the various storylines, whether it is thirty years to the east of the river, thirty years to the west of the river, do not bully the young and poor, or other hard work, in the final analysis it is because they have lost something, or are dissatisfied with something, so they want to retaliate, and thus generate motivation.

Even the guys who just want to seek longevity in the purest immortal cultivation novels also yearn for it so much because they fear ‘death’ and ‘aging.’

But for the Earth civilization with the electronic underworld and national cultivation, death and aging are no longer elements that cause fear.

Longevity? Isn't it a matter of course, why yearn for it?

Therefore.

In a world where everyone respects each other and resources are infinitely abundant, what can be relied on to arouse people's motivation?

The answer is games.

Su Zhou stared at Earth.

He murmured to himself: "Human society is a game."

The real nature is a bloody, cruel, yet simple and clear ‘game.’

Comparing size, comparing quantity, comparing determination.

Just like rock-paper-scissors, or throwing dice, it couldn't be simpler.

But humans have used civilization, rules, and moral laws to transform the simplest natural game into a grand social game—humans mutually formulate game rules, with wealth and power as game currency and permissions, and each person has different talent ceilings and career choices.

In this game created by the laws of nature, humans have cleared the game and reached the ending, and this is the Great Harmony society.

And now, the old game has achieved all the achievements, and it is time to re-specify the game rules and start a new journey again.

Today's Earth is completely occupied by various virtual games.
