The Fourth Financial Crisis

Park designer?

After hearing the name "Paradise Designer" from Li Qingyang, Yang Lu and Li Qingning glanced at each other subconsciously, and both saw the shock in each other's eyes.

After all, they had been visiting Murong's Qiankun Ring quite a lot recently, and the ring spirit almost never left the park's designer, making their ears almost calloused.

They have long had many speculations about the identity of the park designer, but they have never been able to confirm it. According to Li Qingyang, this mysterious park designer is actually the maintainer of the Heavenly Way of Kyushu? !

If Li Qingyang is not lying, then the park designer is a very special existence even among immortals. He may even be a higher-level existence than ordinary immortals.

This identity is much more awesome than they expected!

You know, they had previously thought that no matter how awesome the park designer was, he should only be as good as an ancient ascended immortal!

However, Li Qingyang has passed away, and what is left now is only the image of him from back then. Even if Yang Lu and Li Qingning have a lot of questions in their hearts, they can't ask questions now. They can only see if Li Qingyang has left any other information.

Li Qingyang's explanation continued: "Although this name is very weird, I confirmed it with Governor Lu many times. He clearly told me that the designer of the park is the creator and maintainer of Kyushu Tiandao. But after the second Tiandao crisis, , the park designer left this world for some reason, which resulted in what cultivators often say is "there is a deficiency in the way of heaven." Although Mr. Lu is unwilling to say more, I think that the historical fog of the medieval and ancient times, It should be inseparable from the departure of the park designer. It is said that before the park designer left Kyushu, he also left behind a magic weapon he made by himself that can control the way of heaven, which is the black iron block placed in the Xu family ancestral hall. ”

Xu Yan said before that the big iron block was given to the Xu family by President Lu for safekeeping. But now it seems that it is not actually President Lu’s relic, but similar to the Qiankun Ring, which was designed by the ancient mysterious almighty paradise. The teacher’s creation!

If President Lu had not deceived Li Qingyang (this is not impossible, after all, President Lu had a history of deceiving Li Qingyang using the Law of Lubida), it would not be an exaggeration to say that this big black iron block was the most powerful immortal weapon in Kyushu cultivation world.

Ordinary immortal weapons are not even worthy of carrying shoes!

Whoever masters this magic weapon that controls the Heavenly Way of Kyushu is equivalent to mastering the future and destiny of the entire Kyushu world!

It's just that although the big iron block has a great origin, no one knows how to use it...

Li Qingyang did not let this question linger for long, and quickly continued: "As for why such an important magic weapon is placed casually in the Xu family ancestral hall, the reason is also very simple. Ordinary cultivators cannot use this thing at all. Mr. Lu left it behind This magic weapon is actually to deal with the so-called fourth spiritual stone financial crisis..."

Under Li Qingyang's explanation, Yang Lu finally understood what President Lu was up to.

Just like what Li Qingyang told him at the beginning, the cultivation economic system and cultivation governance system left by President Lu are not perfect, or in other words, there may not be a perfect system in this world at all.

Because personal desires are unlimited, and social resources are limited, when personal interests conflict with social interests, there must be corresponding rules for resource allocation, and under the same rule system, there are always some people who are good at using the rules. People can play better, which leads to the rapid concentration of resources to a few people, forming the Matthew effect.

When the differentiation of individuals within society is too severe, it will inevitably lead to some losers within the rules of the game to decide to simply give up and stop playing. Then human society, which loses the constraints of rules and consensus, will collapse in various forms, easily It is like the rise and fall of ancient feudal dynasties, falling into an endless cycle of reincarnation. At worst, it is like the nuclear powers of the earth firing nuclear bombs at each other, causing the entire civilization to perish together in an unlimited violent conflict.

If you want to avoid this destructive end of knocking down and starting over again, you must either continue to make the cake bigger by vigorously developing productivity, or design a more advanced distribution method (social system) to replace the original system.

But in the Kyushu cultivation world, neither of these two methods works.

Even if we do not count the ancient and medieval history that cannot be verified before the second crisis of heaven, since the end of the second crisis of heaven, the Kyushu cultivation world has gone through a long period of about seven thousand years. However, during this period , the technology in the world of cultivation cannot be said to have not progressed, but it can be said to be very limited.

For comparison, the Earth's civilization seven thousand years ago was still at the end of the Neolithic Age, while the Earth's civilization seven thousand years later has been able to send humans to the moon and has initially mastered the power of nuclear fission.

The reason is mainly because various technologies in the Jiuzhou cultivation world are derived from the use of spiritual energy, but spiritual energy is not produced by cultivators, but is naturally generated by heaven and earth.

The only time in the past seven thousand years that the total amount of spiritual energy in the cultivation world increased was due to the development plan of the Wilderness Realm five hundred years ago. Immortals brought back a large number of dried human flesh batteries from the Spiritual Race from the Wilderness Realm, and the introduction of Spiritual Slaves also This has resulted in a significant increase in the number of masters at the Golden Core stage of the seven major sects (five hundred years is not enough for people to practice to the Nascent Soul stage).

In the case where there is no possibility of a leap in the level of energy utilization, other technological advances can only be regarded as minor repairs.

The social reform in the Jiuzhou cultivation world is also very slow.

This is mainly because the way of heaven has great soft constraints on the form and structure of the cultivator association.

For example, the main source of merit for most cultivators is social governance. According to the requirements of Jiuzhou Tiandao, cultivators can only share the merits of social governance by joining a sect. This completely blocks cultivators from changing their sect into a cultivation limited liability company. The possibility of the company has even formed two parallel organizational structures of the Chamber of Commerce and the sect that do not interfere with each other.

Under the soft constraints of Heavenly Dao, cultivators can only carry out reforms within the framework given by Heavenly Dao. Sect management, cultivation economics, and spiritual stone currency science are all adaptive disciplines born under this framework.

When reforming the distribution system and vigorously developing productivity are unable to achieve success, it will undoubtedly become extremely difficult for cultivators to avoid the Bad End of reinventing the wheel, and the setting that the great power of the Kyushu cultivator world is united in one body will undoubtedly become extremely difficult. It will definitely make this process of overthrowing and starting over become countless times more tragic than on earth.

This is not the most critical issue.

The more fatal problem is that the underlying foundation of Kyushu's cultivation world civilization does not actually lie in the rigorous and systematic natural sciences, but in the traditions handed down by the ancient immortals. If it is a peaceful era, these traditions can still be passed down normally, but if If a world war of cultivation breaks out, those lost inheritances may never be found again.

This statement is definitely not alarmist.

Because there have indeed been problems in history where certain inheritances were permanently lost due to the accidental death of cultivators.

Although the mortality rate of Kyushu cultivators is not as exaggerated as in the novels on Earth, especially for high-level cultivators because they do not need to participate in foreign battlefields, the mortality rate is quite low, but any small probability event cannot withstand the baptism of the long river of time. Repeat If it happens too often, it will eventually turn into a high probability event.
