Crossover in the Anime World

The Hiruko God did not see through the essence of the problem. She thought she was bullying mortals. In fact, this was the alternation of the new god and the old god.

"This island country is hopeless. Defeat the old god and support a new god." After observing for a long time, Belmode finally understood why Duran always deceived others into rebelling. This country should indeed rebel, but these people have already I am used to 8 million ghosts and gods, and I cannot leave them at all.

Their culture is indispensable to ghosts and gods, because without ghosts and gods, they have no idea what new culture should be used to replace them. So the old god was destroyed, and a new god had to be arranged. The new gods are definitely kinder and better.

But the Hirudo God was kind and beautiful in the beginning. If it weren't for her help three hundred years ago, everyone on Ridu Island would have starved to death. It was her shadow that went fishing in the deep sea and was rewarded, so everyone worshiped the Hirudo God. But as time goes by, the gods must choose between themselves and the islanders, which must be to protect themselves first.

This is the same as the imperial dynasty in the Central Plains. The emperor selected civilians to fight against the nobles, and he was elected on a meritocratic basis. However, as time progressed, the imperial power had to face the question of whether to protect itself first or the country first. The emperor must protect himself first and then the country.

The same is true for ghosts and gods. Three hundred years ago and three hundred years later, the Hirudo God was still the Hirudo God, but now she had to protect herself first, and other things would be discussed later.

"Whether to protect yourself or to protect everyone, when this choice comes up, everyone will protect themselves first. If ghosts and gods cannot break through this, then they will not be able to truly stand with the people." Dulan said.

Belmode thought that even within the organization, there were many people who wanted to protect themselves first. Self-preservation was instinctive. This is not limited to ghosts, gods and emperors, but also all kinds of people will choose this way, even the American emperor will choose this way.

The US imperialists decisively chose to protect their own interests first, rather than the global system they established.

But in this way, it seems to be self-protection, but in fact it is constantly destroying one's own foundation, and the final result is to be replaced.

Of course, if we do not choose to protect ourselves, but maintain the global system, we are actually doomed. For example, during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the Zhou Dynasty, when the Emperor of Zhou aspired to conquer the Central Plains in the Chu Kingdom, said that the virtue of the tripod does not matter in importance. This means that the Emperor of Zhou must protect Zhou Li first, and then protect himself. But in the end, neither Zhou Li nor the Emperor of Zhou could be protected, and the era of the collapse of rituals and music has arrived.

The Tian family replaced Jiang, and the three families were divided into Jin and Emperor Zhou. They all recognized it with their seal. It seemed that Zhou Li was still there, but in fact Zhou Li was already a fig leaf.

However, Emperor Zhou has existed as a mascot for many years. If the Emperor of Zhou wanted to protect himself, then look at King Zhou Li. He wanted to protect himself through the mountains and seas, but the result was that the people of the country rioted and he was directly overthrown.

So the more you protect yourself, the sooner you will be finished. But if you don't protect yourself, the result will be irreversible. At best, you will be treated as a mascot. To put it simply, it is still a matter of strength. If the strength is not enough, nothing you do can change the fate of being replaced.

The same is true for ghosts and gods. Once they are weak, they are doomed no matter how hard they struggle.

This is the case with the Hirudo God. If she is declining, she will inevitably be replaced. Therefore, every life is constantly pursuing more benefits and maintaining its own strength. It can be said that if you do not advance, you will retreat. Unfortunately, such a life is indeed very tiring.

After Belmode figured this out, he felt very boring and said: "I suddenly felt that I was going to become nihilistic. I just felt that everything was meaningless and that nothing could escape decline and destruction. Self-preservation is the end. Failure to protect yourself will eventually come to an end, no one can benefit forever, and no one can win forever.”

"That's true, but it's just a thought. When you really do something, the sense of success can dilute the sense of emptiness. Everyone's praise and admiration can make your self-esteem explode. Besides, only when there is an end can there be a new beginning, the predecessors Only when we end can our era begin. After we end, future generations will start a new era." Duran said that this is cyclical and progressive: "We can start with small things, such as rebellion."

Belmod thought that he had just created some atmosphere, but it was all destroyed by Duran. He really wanted to rebel.

"You also said that after they defeated the old god, they would support a new god. How can they rebel?" Belmod said that there is no way to rebel. The new god will gain everyone's support and cannot be shaken at all. "This country has its own rules of the game, and rebellion alone can't solve it at all. Even if American imperial soldiers come to spread freedom, I'm afraid freedom will become the new god, and then they will continue to play the same old tricks." She has no way to solve it.

No matter what new ideas and new culture are sent, they will eventually be shelved by the islanders as gods. In the end, it will be the local tyrants and evil gentry who make the final decision, unable to implement the new ideas and new culture at all.

Thought is one thing, practice is another.

It's like the Mohist concept of universal love but no attack. The theory is very good, but there is no practical method at all. In Bermod's view, even if the free ideas of American imperialism were placed in an island country, it would be distorted by the island country into one of the eight million ghosts and gods, and would not be implemented at all.

"Even if they are all capitalist, there are all kinds of differences in capitalism." Bermod said that the world is really strange. They are all capitalist countries, but their internal national conditions are very different. She didn't care before, but now she does. Understand the complexity of the world.

"Capitalism is just the capitalization of assets, it's just a means. Landlords can use it, scientists can use it, bosses can use it, the country can use it, good people can use it, bad people can use it..." Duran said that capitalization is just a means of raising funds. , just like Guan Zhong building roads and reducing taxes in Qi State and opening brothels in Guanshanhai, it is just a means to strengthen the economy.

Although Qi was the first to start economic reforms, subsequent countries can learn from it. However, although they have all been learned, the styles of each country are consistent with local characteristics.

Therefore, asset capitalization is actually a means of strengthening the economy. Everyone can learn it. It is just a means of making the pie bigger. When dividing the cake, you still have to follow the customs of each place.

For example, in the West, nobles, citizens, and free people are distinguished in this order. Because it is very loose, they also emphasize freedom.

In the island country, landlords from all over the country formed gangs, and then snatched the benefits under the emperor's rules. After grabbing the profits, they divided them according to the customs of various places. Some divided them according to landlords, and some divided them according to religion.

Everyone learns the skills of making cakes from each other, but dividing cakes can only be done according to local customs, and it is difficult to make complete changes.

Because the methods of dividing the cake are all successful experiences and have gone through various historical tests. If there are too many cakes, maybe you can be more relaxed, but if there are too few cakes, you must strictly follow local customs and there must be no chaos. Because the local area has survived to this day based on this method of profit sharing.

Therefore, it is easy to rebel in an island country, but it is difficult to completely change the way the island country divides the cake.

"In the final analysis, the cake will not grow bigger forever. Once the cake is no longer big, it can only be divided according to the original habits. Therefore, the habits of various places are very stubborn and cannot be replaced. Especially in places like island countries, cakes are difficult to To become bigger, everyone even hates those who make the cake bigger, because the happiness they bring is fleeting and cannot be maintained for a long time." Belmod said: "So the rebellion you said is not effective at all."
