Temple of rocks.

In a sense, the development of civilization in any world will have a mainstream direction...

In this process, people who follow the trend will always be more likely to succeed than others...

To give a simple example, over the past decade, housing prices across the country have generally shown an explosive upward trend, especially in some first-tier cities, where housing prices have risen by more than ten times or even dozens of times in a few years. In a sense, this kind of increase in housing prices is actually a social trend...

The so-called social trends are actually difficult to explain through some things, and they are also difficult to explain...

Just like some celebrities, they have average appearance, average figure, and not excellent conditions in all aspects, but they often become famous in one go. On the contrary, some celebrities often have excellent conditions in all aspects, and after being packaged by the most professional agency, it is difficult to become famous. In the final analysis, there are not many reasons to analyze...

In the final analysis, it is nothing more than an eye problem brought to the audience by an actor. As long as the eye is good, it will naturally make people like it, and there will naturally be fans. On the contrary, if people don’t like it, it will naturally be difficult to become a star. This is why some male actors are not much better than ordinary people in terms of appearance, but they can become famous...

Why do many celebrities have to have plastic surgery? In fact, the reason is that the essence of plastic surgery is not to make celebrities more beautiful, but to make celebrities look more pleasing and recognizable, so that they can be more favored by the audience. The concept of beauty is itself relative but not absolute, but people's aesthetic views are always similar and there will be no too many deviations...

The mainstream aesthetics are always relatively close...

If a person is closer to the mainstream, it will naturally be easier to succeed and be recognized!

And the same is true in other fields...

For example, if you are playing basketball, height is the mainstream in the world of basketball. The taller the person is, the greater the possibility of becoming a professional basketball player. In the field of basketball, there is room for development. On the contrary, although short players exist in professional games, they need to put in much more effort than tall players!

In fact, even those so-called short professional players are only shorter than basketball players. Most professional basketball guard players are 1.8 meters tall or even 1.9 meters tall. Their shortness is only smaller than athletes. Compared with ordinary people, every athlete can be considered a tall and powerful existence...

From this we can also see that no matter how big or small things are, there is always a tendency to exist in the world...

Just like the so-called wheels of history...

The advancement of history always has a certain trajectory. Those who follow the trajectory often succeed more easily, and those who try to hinder the progress of history will often be completely crushed by this huge wheel!

By the same token, the process of civilization is always inclined!

Martial arts and technology are contradictory in themselves. When martial arts are booming, technology will naturally become lonely. Rude people will even use force to kill wise scholars and regard what they say as a witch to confuse the public!

On the contrary, when technology becomes more developed, force in the simple sense will be restricted...

Just like in real life, any act of using force will be regarded as an illegal act. In a sense, mastering force is a crime in itself!

Although people are not prohibited from learning martial arts in the real world, in fact, the various social orders and judicial systems in modern society have made the road of warriors very, very narrow, especially for ordinary warriors, if they do not join the government department, their force will hardly be used in much use...

For a long time in the past, cold weapons have been the mainstream development direction of social civilization. Because of this, even if all guns and gunpowder have great power, they are still not valued by those in power. Those craftsmen who can produce guns and cannons are often regarded as the lowest people...

With the development of technology, thermal weapons gradually replaced cold weapons and became the mainstream, and martial arts naturally became non-mainstream with the development of technology!

In modern society, although people are not prohibited from learning martial arts, in fact, the overall environment of the society does not have a good way to survive, and this is also the root of the loneliness of martial arts!

Practicing martial arts in modern society can be said to be a very non-mainstream choice. Most people will not choose to practice martial arts as their main way of life. After all, in a society with relatively sound judicial power, the role that force itself can play is often minimal...

Even if there are still criminal acts in society and individuals who disrespect the social order and judicial system, this situation is only a few after all. The opportunity to use their own force reasonably and legally is very rare for the vast majority of warriors with civilian status!

In fact, even if it is a theoretically reasonable and legal act of using force with defense as the main purpose, it is actually hard to say that it can be completely innocent when it comes to court. This is why few people in modern society choose to practice martial arts!

However, things like trends will not always remain unchanged!

In the era of cold weapons, the power of warriors is beyond doubt. In the era of hot weapons, science and order represent the mainstream of civilization...

But who will know what kind of era the next era is?

Weak people can only follow the trends with the changes of the times, while the real strong people can often control the trend and become the leader of the trend!

Of course, it is undeniable that even in modern society, people have paid some attention to martial arts and fighting, but in a short period of time, both martial arts and fighting are difficult to truly become the mainstream topics in society...

And under such a background, warriors who can still devote themselves to martial arts are actually truly valuable...

After all, in modern society, choosing a relatively mainstream lifestyle will always make you easier, while choosing a non-mainstream way will always be more susceptible to resistance and criticism from others...

It is undoubtedly a very, very, very difficult thing to create a miracle that turns non-mainstream into mainstream like a storm in every era!

Although every warrior hopes that one day the social status of warriors can be improved, hope is one thing, reality is another thing. It will not be a simple thing to truly go against the current!

Not to mention that the governments of every country in the world are deliberately concealing the existence information of those extraordinary people. Even if every country exposes the powerful abilities of those martial arts-level warriors, it is probably difficult for warriors to become the mainstream in society. It takes a lot of time and energy to practice martial arts itself, and it also involves various secret medicines and secret techniques, and even differences in talent. Even if there are a very small number of individuals who can become extraordinary people far beyond ordinary people, martial arts still do not have much attraction to ordinary people...

Just like the professional gamers in reality, before the emergence of the fantasy world, there were actually many professional gamers. Many of the celebrity professional players actually had very rich incomes, but this did not affect the idea of ​​cultivating their children. Although most parents would not deny the achievements of those famous professional gamers, they would definitely not agree with letting their children take the path of games, because they knew very well that the success of this industry itself was a lot of accidental existence, and not everyone was suitable for taking such a path...

On the contrary, a path like reading is suitable for everyone to walk, and it is nothing more than a question of how far they can go...

The reason is not that the road of reading is not difficult to follow, but that the road of reading is every obstacle itself, even if thousands of troops cross a single-plank bridge, at least you can see where the bridge is. The road like a professional video game player is like a road walking in the clouds. No one knows when it will decline from the clouds to the ground, so naturally no one dares to take risks!

Of course, after the emergence of the fantasy world, the threshold for professional players was greatly reduced, and relatively reasonable profession systems and systems began to gradually emerge. The profession of professional players gradually gained recognition from some enlightened parents...

The same is true for martial arts. Even if people know that there are powerful and extraordinary warriors in reality, they actually do not have much influence for ordinary people. After all, such people are only a few. Even if ordinary people learn martial arts, they can only be slightly stronger than ordinary people and cannot reach extraordinary levels. Then there will be no essential difference between them and ordinary people...

However, even so, if a warrior who cannot be called mainstream in the real world, if he reaches the level of martial arts, he will still become a real superior. Such people will naturally have a social status that ordinary people do not have. Their powerful force is the guarantee of their privileges. Compared with other high-ranking people, warriors are actually the most free type of people!

They can do what they want to do, say what they want to say, without any suppression from the outside world. They have a much healthier body than ordinary people and have much more energy than ordinary people. They are always in a state of almost absolute health that high-ranking officials and rich people have always dreamed of. They live themselves, every breath they take, every step they take, and every scenery they see is an ultimate luxury for most ordinary people who are in a sub-health state! They prolong their life, can never afford to have any illness, and even their spirits can always maintain a state of transparency!

In a sense, once a warrior reaches the level of martial arts, he can be said to have become an inhuman being. The teeth grow again, the bone marrow is re-cleaned, and every cell in the body and every internal organ in the body will naturally undergo transformation!

In a sense, after a warrior reaches this inhuman level, it is actually like a carp crossing the dragon gate and becoming a real dragon!

In the real world, if high-ranking officials and local tyrants are like gods, then powerful warriors are like immortals!

Since ancient times, people have always called powerful and perfect existences a god...

But in fact, whether in the Eastern world or in the Western world, gods and immortals are two completely different concepts!

The source of God's power is the rules. In the Western world, God has his own divine character and priesthood. The divine character determines the strength of God, while the priesthood determines God's duties and missions. If an individual becomes God, he must do what suits his priesthood. Over time, he will easily become a part of the rules!

God has extremely powerful power, but he must do things according to his own priesthood. He cannot have any transcendence or any selfishness at all!

Once God has selfishness and is unwilling to abide by the rules, then God will be about to die!

Just like the God of Death among them, although it can be used to kill people at will, it can only be used to save people by killing people, otherwise the God of Death will die. In fact, this is a kind of constraint on rules. You can use to kill people at will, but you must never use to save people. This is a kind of power of rules. If the God of Death is absolutely ruthless, then you can kill anyone without paying a price. But if it is absolutely ruthless, then even God himself is actually just a rule machine, and there is no point in saying that it is enviable!

In Journey to the West, the Dragon King of Jinghe is a god, but because he violated the instructions of the Heavenly Court and was furious with a charlatan, he finally sent himself to the Dragon Slaying Platform. The reason is actually not because of his behavior itself, but simply because he violated the rules and order of the Heavenly Court!

God’s power comes from rules and order, and all of them must absolutely support this rule and order. Even if they do things against their will, they must do this!

The biggest difference between immortals and gods is that immortals are free in the absolute sense!

Yes, free!
