1214: Chapter 1200: Qualitative Change 1214: Chapter 1200: Qualitative Change “Nature never reserved this land’s future for any nation or race, the land exists for those people who take possession of her with power…”
“If we cannot obtain things peacefully, then we take them with our fists.
We use our swords as our plows to take the land and the oceans, to secure our daily fish and bread.”
“Without a sword, there could be no economic policy, without power, there could be no industrial developnt.
Without economy and industry, we would always be rootless nomads, just a group of slaves unable to break free from our chains.”
At the introduction phase of “ntor Theory,” Lu Ping’an was sowhat skeptical of life.
He flipped back and forth, scrutinizing until he was certain it wasn’t the little mustached man’s “Struggle of X” from another era, but rather a bestseller from another world.
“We have nothing, the only thing we have lost are the shackles and iron chains.”
“Awaken, you starving slaves, wait no longer, my fellow n.
If there are no heroes in this world, then we ourselves are the last heroes, whether it’s the rciless heavens or so-called advanced civilizations, it is only we ourselves who can bring hope to everything…”
“Discard those prophecies and prophets, there has never been any savior, nor do we rely on any deity from above.
If we are to create happiness for all life, it can only be done by ourselves.”
“Throw away the so-called theories of bloodline and racial supremacy, there has never been anyone naturally noble; they are rely exploiters standing in high places, just the initial starters…”
Well, it’s veering inexplicably left again.
At first glance, the book seems harmless, but it actually combines extre left and extre right provocative thoughts.
Subtracting so deep-seated logical conflicts, Lu Ping’an could tell just by thinking about it, this book, if really spread, would create a trendous impact on the creatures of this world.
After all, as a small mustached man made his fortune, his “thoughts” spread everywhere with “Struggle of X” reaching a sales volu of 6 million by 1940—now if you count, it’s definitely in tens of millions or even possibly over a hundred million.
The only thing Lu Ping’an was grateful for was that the author of the book, instead of inciting racism, was comparatively “warm-hearted”.
“Breaking locks does not an breaking order; order is the protection for the weaker and the limit for the strong.
Its manifestations are law and morality.
If we truly abandon order, it would be a disaster for the entire society…..”
“Respect order, abide by the law, adhere to morality, this is the foundation of an intelligent creature who is a person rather than a beast…..”
“Trade, I personally like trade and respect it, because it embodies order, it’s a win-win relationship where both parties mutually benefit in an equal state, so, I extrely loathe unfair trades and forceful negotiations…..”
At least these aspects about social contracts and theories of trade haven’t entirely wreaked havoc on society.
No matter who wrote this book, no matter what bastard made this world into a ss with whatever intent, from the standpoint of a “later-cor,” Lu Ping’an could only choose to accept and deal with it.
He had to think about the general ntal state of the local new generation and their future once the “ntor Theory” thoughts spread.
“Heh, Lin Nu’s Church might be furious.
The slave-making education and fanatic faith used optimally in star-zone colonization must have already been dood to fail…”
You can tell, if the book’s author simply disliked nobles, landowners, colonizers, then towards shamans and religions, it was sheer hostility.
“If the deities are powerful or even omnipotent, then why didn’t they save us during our days of suffering.
If the deities are benevolent and loving, then how can they face our endless years of agony…These so-called deities who are neither kind nor powerful are just another form of powerful life forms.
They may earn our respect, but by what right do they demand we give up everything.”
This was the preface to the “Religious Chapter,” and the following sections and argunts were all various types of skepticism and harrowing critiques of religious beliefs, including the classic discourse on “creating a rock they cannot lift themselves.”
The correctness and logic of the text definitely had problems, but the provocativeness and persuasiveness were maxed out; the locals who accepted the ntor Theory couldn’t possibly embrace any devout and fanatic religious beliefs.
“Heh, quite interesting…..”
Other Deity Churches, especially the missionaries of Lin Nu’s Church, might die of rage.
After all, for traders, no matter how much you can swindle, you still have to display a “shiny glass ball” the other party likes, whereas for devout “believers,” perhaps a piece of scrap paper (an indulgence) can swap everything, even life itself.
After such rhetoric beca the mainstream ideology of the Newborn’s primary group, preaching might still be possible, but the era of blind faith akin to the dieval tis was destined to beco a bubble shadow.
Lu Ping’an read this book over and over again.
He was indifferent to most of the jumbled ideas within, which to him, seed more like the ramblings of a keyboard politician who had had too much to drink.
What he cared about, however, was the inevitable impact that these “nonsensical utterances” would have on the entire world.
Of course, there were contents that he appreciated…
“This world…
no, this Multi-universe is a jungle without rules, where all life forms are rely beasts.
But we, as intelligent creatures, should not rely degenerate into being re animals; we can use our hands and swords to transform this Multi-universe, letting Order replace chaos, letting the Weaker and the Strongman coexist rather than devour each other…..”
At least, there was so humanism and positive aning.
Lu Ping’an had seen enough of books with “completely true argunts” that arrived at “absurdly outrageous conclusions”…..
Many books list reality and history only to prove their own “conclusions stemming from personal benefit”.
Compared to those books that straightforwardly feed you absurd conclusions, this kind of book that only provides a “possibility” and “direction” made him feel considerably better.
“Justice may not exist in reality, but it lives long in the human heart.
When you rage against the injustices of this world, you prove its existence.
What follows, whether you can transform it into reality, depends solely on your own choices…
If the heavens do not grant you fairness and justice, then please, take it yourself.”
Although sowhat extre, Lu Ping’an felt that these values truly resonated with him, but the words and phrases were a bit too familiar—likely plagiarized from so celebrity quotes on Earth.
Putting down “ntor Theory”, Lu Ping’an shifted his gaze to other “philosophical thought books”.
Such abstract subjects were not bestsellers on Earth, but in this world lacking spiritual direction, they were exceedingly popular…..
When tis of chaos arrived, many people would try to discern why they and their world had to endure such misfortune, and how they might break free from this unlucky prison.
“ntor Theory” had the highest sales, but there were many other kinds of books as well.
Lu Ping’an saw plenty of all sorts.
Left-wing, Right-wing, Nihilism, Centrism, Surrender…..
all sorts of bizarre views were visible; however, when it ca to military, politics, economics—those tangible things, Eastern cultural traces were clearly present.
For example, he searched everywhere, like trying to find a mariti nation’s “Balance Theory”, “Colonialism”, and “Racial Supremacy”…..
Lu Ping’an saw none of these; instead, he saw many statents like “Everyone is born equal” and “Races differ in natural strengths but not in nobility or inferiority”.
“Spiritual Easterners, huh…”
These were what Lu Ping’an most wanted to know.
The Long Hand Clan and the Free Fish People had long lost their culture and traditions, and in just ten years, they had actually experienced “several generations”.
The cultures and spirits of various Races, in their constant clashes, inevitably converged…..
Their mainstream, stemd from humanity’s array of Eastern Thoughts; this was the root of the special treatnt Lu Ping’an, the “blind man”, received.
“It’s best if the ‘ntor’ remains rely a symbol, as symbols do not collapse; whereas living persons might have scandals, could betray halfway, or might not be perfect enough and thus beco vulnerabilities…”
Lu Ping’an pondered this and planned to investigate further once back ho.
But such developnts were already much better compared to Lu Ping’an’s past.
“A slave driven to utter despair ten years ago was truly in a world beyond saving, but now that the seeds of all these years have sprouted, perhaps, they are ready to withstand the tests of ti.”
A completely numb population is beyond saving; Earthlings are always just passing by, but now, they might have seen hope, actively pursuing it.
Lu Ping’an put down the book with a sigh and looked towards the blue sky.
“Whoever did this…
did a great job.
Perhaps, this world truly can be saved.”
