"Have you made up your mind..." Xiao Zhou looked at his teacher. His originally dignified face was full of hesitation. It was obvious that he would not be persuaded so easily.
"Teacher, I don't doubt your idea, nor do I deny that this idea might be right. But if we want to seize this opportunity to make everyone empathize when facing a common enemy, this... how many people will have to die?"
"In addition..."
"Does that so-called all-rounded sect leader, Yinggou, really have the strength to support your idea? Even if we don't use those weapons of mass destruction out of humanitarianism to avoid implicating other innocent people, he... can he still go against everyone by himself?"
"If we want to get something, we have to sacrifice something..." The old man looked up at everyone present.
"You don't have to worry about the responsibility that will arise after the event. Even if there are restless fellows who want to use these people's lives to talk about it, I, this old thing... After all, I'm the one who really raised this problem."
"As for that all-rounded Yinggou..."
At this point,
He looked at his former student, Xiao Zhou, and said,
"Kid, you usually have a lot of things to deal with, and the problem of energy will definitely prevent you from taking care of everything. But regarding the inhumans... After all, it is also related to the structural problems of society. You have more or less slacked off on this issue."
"Teacher is right..." Seeing this, Xiao Zhou was indeed a little regretful.
"The main responsibility for these troubles is indeed the students. If only I had paid close attention to these inhumans..."
"Enough..." The old man shook his head and said.
"I'm not holding anyone accountable. Besides, even if you had discovered the problem with the inhumans, you might not have been able to solve this long-standing conflict. Now, you're still thinking that someone has to be responsible for it... It's nothing more than adding to your troubles."
"Since things have already happened, then the problem should be solved first. Reflection and the like... at least wait until everything is over before thinking about it."
After saying that..,
He looked at the student whose expression had eased a little, so he continued to speak:
"Inhumans..."
"This is a group that is almost no different from us. Even if there are some differences in individual strength, this difference... is only that their individual development direction is slightly different from ours."
"If we say that the strength we possess now is actually the result of giving up on exploring ourselves and turning to the outside world …"
"Then, the powers possessed by the Inhumans, be it the so-called inherited innate abilities or the cultivation methods passed down from ancient times, are the result of humans constantly searching for their true selves …"
"After all, even those seemingly hereditary Awakened Esper Abilities did not exist before humans began to search for the True Self. It was precisely because some ancestors had carried out the act of searching for the True Self that the descendants who inherited the genes might seem to have suddenly awakened special abilities."
"In the end …"
"If it weren't for the ancestors who sought the True Self inwards, there wouldn't be any so-called 'Inhumans' in this world. But there's no doubt that … the power that was accidentally obtained from seeking the True Self is essentially no different from the power that we obtain from exploring and learning outside."
"But …"
"There are indeed some differences in the degree of difficulty between the two …"
"Searching for the True Self requires more talent …"
"Although exploring and learning from the outside world also requires a lot of talent, at least there won't be a situation where only a specific person can inherit it …"
"Strictly speaking …"
"I actually don't know which of these two powers is stronger and which is weaker, but I'm more willing to believe that there's no difference between them. The only difference is that we … we, the weak humans who inherit them, do have some differences in personal abilities."
As soon as he finished speaking …
The old man calmly picked up the teacup on the table and said, "So …"
"Little Zhou, don't subconsciously think that our power of exploring and learning outside is actually stronger than the Inhumans' power of exploring and learning inside."
"The reason why we can become the leaders of this world …"
"On one hand, it's because everyone is recognized by each other as compatriots. Emotionally, there's no need to fight to the death for the dominance of the world. Because no matter who manages the stability of the world … they're still our own people."
"And on the other hand …"
After drinking the tea that had already turned cold, he put the teacup back on the table in front of him and said,
"Because ordinary people will always be the most common in the world. The conditions for inheriting the power of exploring and learning outside are not harsh. We … It's just that it's easier for us to bask in the light of those sages."
"It's very easy for us to get the experience of our predecessors on this path, and then we can rely on those talented people to carry it forward …"
"In contrast …"
"It's very difficult for the Inhumans to even obtain the experience of their predecessors on the same path. Even if there are occasionally extremely talented people in the group, it's almost in today's world where ideas have long changed … A person walks relatively alone on the path of exploring the True Self."
"In that case …"
"You should also understand why the longer the tradition of the Inhuman Sect, the easier it is for powerful Inhumans to be born, right?"
"Because …" Little Zhou looked at his teacher with a frown and said, "They are all very clear about what you said, so they are also leaving behind their own cultivation experience in their own way, so that the occasionally talented people … won't have to rely on their own strength to start from scratch?"
Hearing this,
A smile finally appeared on the old man's face again. While releasing the steam in the cup that Windsor had just filled with tea, he nodded to the middle-aged men present and said,
"That's right …"
"Although there's not enough evidence to support this speculation, after all, it's something that this old man spent decades to figure out. I simply can't imagine what could be better than this … to explain everything we've seen with our own eyes now."
"Then …" Little Zhou's face was still solemn and his brows were tightly knitted.
"Teacher, do you mean that the all-rounded Yinggou is likely to be a guy who is chasing after … or even surpassing all of us on the way?"
"But, at his age, how is this possible …"
