Chapter 611: Each generation has its own ideas
"Great Harmony in the World?" Bai Tian looked at Si Wenming strangely. This kid has quite big ambitions.
Si Wenming nodded: "Yes, the world will be united. Haotian, I think the world has been in chaos for too long and needs unification."
"Jiuzhou has been in chaos for many years because so many countries have emerged within it. If there was only one country in the world, there wouldn't be so much chaos."
Bai Tian nodded in agreement: "You are right about this, but it is precisely because of this that it is more difficult to achieve universal peace, isn't it?"
Si Wenming shook his head. "No, achieving universal peace through military force is not difficult. Having experienced the turmoil of recent years, the people of Kyushu are already weary of war. Furthermore, the king's ideal of universal peace has long been widespread, so achieving universal peace through military force is not particularly difficult."
Bai Tian was even more puzzled: "Then what are you worried about?"
Si Wenming explained, "Haotian, what I'm saying is that after the world is unified, there will only be one Heavenly Kingdom. By then, everyone will come from Heaven, and their behavior will be the same. Having only one culture in the world doesn't seem like a good thing for the world."
These words left Bai Tian stunned. He finally understood what Si Wenming was worried about.
After the world became one, culture also tended towards unity, which was indeed a devastating blow to the human world.
Of course, when all humans are the same, it will be difficult for civilization to advance. By then, humanity will likely gradually decline.
Bai Tian then thought of something and smiled, "Is it possible for the world to be united and culturally diverse at the same time?"
Si Wenming frowned: "But if we want unity, how can we have diversity?"
Bai Tian gestured for him to sit down, and then Bai Tian's golden energy body also sat cross-legged and patiently explained: "What I mean is, there is only one country in the world, but within that country there are many diverse cultures."
"These are actually two different concepts. Universal peace is about national ideals. Cultural diversity, on the other hand, means that people within a country can have their own unique cultures... It's like the kingdom of heaven, where there are humans and demons, and they all consider themselves citizens of heaven."
"Everyone is subject to the same laws, but at the same time, some special tolerances are given according to their living habits..."
Si Wenming seemed to understand, "Haotian, do you mean to separate the concept of nation from other concepts?"
"Yes, it actually comes back to the concept of 'what is a country?' Specific people living in a specific territory, with specific administrators, that's a country."
"So fundamentally speaking, a country should first have a territorial concept, then a government... a temple concept, and then a cultural concept..."
Bai Tian never thought that this was what Si Wenming was thinking about.
This young man is really interesting. He has learned to think about the dangers of universal peace so early.
From the perspective of the human world, the world really shouldn't be universally unified, especially culturally. If everyone were the same, humanity would be doomed.
But from the perspective of the Nine Provinces of the Central Plains, the Nine Provinces should indeed achieve universal harmony. Universal harmony can avoid many unnecessary conflicts between small nations. And a certain degree of cultural unity can better unite the human race.
After so many years of development, the Kyushu civilization should become a truly great nation...
During the day, I sat in front of the Haotian Monument with Si Wenming for several days and we talked a lot.
Although Si Wenming is young, he is very calm and steady. He likes to chat and discuss philosophy with people like him during the day.
However, Si Wenming was still young and inexperienced, so he didn't think that far ahead. He was completely focused on achieving the Great Peace of the Nine Provinces, and he couldn't think of anything beyond the Nine Provinces, let alone the Three Realms.
Bai Tian said sincerely: "Si Wenming, you really need to be forged."
Si Wenming nodded in agreement. "I know, so I plan to take a group of young people to control the floods. On the one hand, we want to control the floods in Jiuzhou and prevent the Jiuzhou Heavenly Kingdom from moving back into the mountains. On the other hand, we want to spread the concept of the people of the world and the concept of universal peace, and at the same time, we can better understand the world."
"Haotian, this world really needs peace."
Bai Tian nodded with satisfaction: "The road is tortuous, but the future is bright. I believe that you can conquer the nine provinces. But the world is still too big."
The world should not just encompass Kyushu, but the entire human world. The human world is too vast to be controlled by a single nation.
I chatted with Si Wenming for a while during the day, and then Si Wenming left full of hope.
Watching this calm young man leave, Bai Tian sincerely sighed that it is true that each generation has its own mission and glory.
Jiuzhou civilization began with Fuxi, and generation after generation, there will always be someone standing at the forefront.
The mission of Si Wenming's generation should be to achieve the Great Unity of the Nine Provinces. And the turning point should be the opening of the path to ascension.
"Haotian, our Jiuzhou has a bright future!" Feng Zhongzheng on the Haotian Monument suddenly shouted.
Bai Tian flew up and said with a smile, "Yes, no matter how many storms it goes through, the civilization of Kyushu will continue to exist."
Bai Tian then smiled again and said, "Back then, you guys were unwilling to see the Dao Sect separated. You even considered dividing Jiuzhou and Tianguo based on the Dao Sect. Why, are you regretting it now?"
Feng Zhongzheng sighed, "Looking back, it was indeed ridiculous back then. Daoism and the Kingdom of Heaven have long been unable to coexist. If you want to build a truly great nation, you can't have forces like Daoism..."
"Haotian, I'm increasingly convinced that you guys are truly remarkable. From Taichu Fuxi to Xuanyuan Gongzhu, Shaohao, Zhuanxu, and Emperor Ku... generation after generation, each one of them has been thinking about how to build a better civilization, thus keeping Kyushu civilization at the forefront."
Yes, the reason why Jiuzhou civilization has always been at the forefront of the human world is that it has been created with blood and sweat by generations of people, right?
The Jiuzhou civilization has, to a certain extent, been leading the development of civilization in the entire human world. Even though monsters have appeared now and demons will appear in the future, they all use the Jiuzhou civilization as a reference.
"Haotian, I also want to do something for Jiuzhou." Feng Zhongzheng spoke again.
Bai Tianyi said: "You want to leave? It's impossible."
"Uh, no." Feng Zhongzheng said with a hint of bitterness, "I know that I have gradually merged with this Haotian Monument, and it is impossible for me to leave. However, I have an idea, and I don't know if it is right."
"Oh?" Bai Tian tilted his head with interest, "Tell me about it." This guy has been holding it in for so many years, what did he come up with?
Feng Zhongzheng took a deep breath and said seriously, "I want to use the Haotian Monument as a foundation to turn this area into a place for cultivation. Through the Haotian Monument, I will select some truly capable people to ensure that Jiuzhou can continue to exist."
I was stunned during the day. This idea seemed pretty good!
