Chapter 1623 The beginning of the way of judgment
Black Rose Castle.
Everyone in this world has their own pursuits...
Different people, because they are in different environments, although they naturally pursue different things...
Prisoners pursue the most basic freedom...
What beggars pursue is the most basic survival...
Ordinary people pursue a more comfortable and comfortable life...
Rich people pursue more wealth...
Senior officials pursue more rights...
These pursuits often represent the focus of life of different groups of people...
Of course, from the perspective of difficulty, the higher the demand, the easier it is to satisfy!
Especially in modern society, this is even more so...
Survival and freedom are basically rights that all legal citizens have...
As for a comfortable and comfortable life, not everyone can have it. Some people with slightly better family backgrounds may be able to achieve this easily, but for those with average family backgrounds, it will take some time to work hard to achieve this...
And as for the wealth above life, this is even more so...
The reason why wealth is sought after by most people is that wealth can bring theoretically everything in the world, and to some extent, even love can be obtained through wealth...
To have wealth, in a sense, almost equals to having everything...
Money is not omnipotent, but it is infinitely close to omnipotent!
With wealth, you can easily satisfy all your previous pursuits...
And what is above wealth is the so-called right...
In any world, rights and wealth are things that most people pursue together!
Rights cannot be separated from wealth. Wealth cannot be separated from rights. In some countries, wealth determines rights, while in other countries, rights determines wealth. However, no matter what system it is, wealth and rights can always dominate many things and can also dominate many people...
Of course, in most cases, rights can naturally produce wealth, but wealth may not necessarily create rights. This is because of this, people often think that rights are a truly omnipotent pursuit!
This is the main reason why civil servants are one of the most sought after professions in most countries!
Although many civil servants eventually become mediocre, there are always people who can stand out and gain power, thereby changing their lives...
Many people use the fact that they cross a single-plank bridge to describe the college entrance examination...
But in fact, compared to the college entrance examination, the selection of civil servants is to a certain extent, a truly journey of thousands of troops crossing a single-plank bridge, and it can even be said to be a journey of walking on a tightrope on the abyss!
In fact, from this point, it can be seen that young people are flocking to power...
To a certain extent, if a person can become a high-ranking official or a rich man...
Then most of this person's pursuit as an ordinary person can be almost satisfied...
In real life, there are never a few people who are willing to give their health, work hard, and even their youth, and their bodies to gain wealth or rights...
From this perspective, it seems that whether it is health, hard work, youth, or health, it is something that wealth and rights can be bought...
Even the so-called pure love, to some extent, is affected by wealth and rights...
However, wealth and rights are not the end of people's pursuit!
Although on the surface, wealth and rights seem to be enough to buy everything in the world!
However, there are still some things that you can't buy!
For example, the wealth owner’s own health, the wealth owner’s own youth, and the wealth owner’s own body!
Some things are lost forever...
There is never a chance to look back!
Having wealth can buy other people's health, the youth of others, and the bodies of others!
However, for those who own wealth, these things are inaccessible!
Everyone has a complete life to experience, such as ordinary people, high-ranking officials, and rich people...
They have extremely high powers and a lot of wealth, but they can never buy the youth they have lost, and they can't buy the body they once were extremely healthy...
Therefore, they can only be forced to use their wealth to maintain their health as much as possible, hire the best doctors to check on themselves, and hire the best medical staff to serve themselves in close proximity. This is to use wealth to protect their health...
It is also ironic that these high-ranking officials and rich people may have used their health as the price to exchange for wealth and status when they were young, but when they had wealth and status, they wanted to use wealth and status to exchange for their lost health!
In fact, most social elites with certain social status will start to pay attention to their health issues because they know very well that if there is no healthy person, then even if they have status and wealth, they will eventually disappear. Only when their bodies remain healthy can they enjoy life better...
In fact, this can also be regarded as the ultimate plan for life by most people...
Money, power, and good health...
As long as these three are guaranteed, no matter what job you are engaged in, or what kind of family you are forming, or even what kind of sexual orientation, it will not have much influence on this person's person. When ensuring healthy wealth and rights, no matter what way you spend a person's life, it will be a standard life winner template...
And this can also be said to be a state pursued by most people...
Black Rose Castle.
However, although this state can be said to be the ultimate winner in life that most people can pursue, there are still a very small number of people who will pursue some more extreme choices!
For example, immortality!
Yes, immortality!
Since ancient times, immortality has always been the greatest dream of all mankind, no doubt about it!
The reason is very simple, because as long as anyone is immortal, they can have theoretically infinite possibilities!
Whether it is wealth or power, no matter what kind of life it is, as long as you have a longer life than ordinary people, you can always experience it one by one...
Wanting forever can be said to be the common dream of everyone...
Of course, most people will not have too much fantasy about immortality, especially those who live in poverty and hardship, who certainly do not have the energy to pursue the so-called way of immortality...
Since ancient times, those emperors who are qualified to pursue the way of immortality are often the ones...
Perhaps it seems to be that emperors cultivate immortality and seek Taoism and pursue immortality is a manifestation of a foolish monarch. But from the perspective of the emperor, they were indeed the only pursuit in the true sense at that time, especially many wise monarchs in the true sense. Under their governance, the world has long been peaceful, and they have enjoyed all the prosperity of this world, so naturally they have nothing to ask for and can only pursue illusory immortality!
Of course, in addition to this, the most fundamental reason why people pursue immortality is actually their fear of death!
There is a great horror between life and death. All life will subconsciously fear death. This is because of this. No matter who it is, everyone will subconsciously want to live more, because the longer they live, the later they will be from the arrival of death. Then the fear brought by death will not be so profound. If you can achieve true eternal life, then you will never need to worry about the fear brought by death!
In fact, in Journey to the West, the most fundamental reason why Sun Wukong wanted to obtain the method of immortality was actually because of his fear of the death of his companions. He did not want his companions to die like an old monkey, nor did he want him to die silently one day. So he chose to cross the sea to seek immortality. Even if he faced thousands of magic and temptations, he only had one sentence. But if he had immortality, he rejected all the Taoist techniques, and finally mastered the magic that could truly live forever, and broke into the underworld, and wrote off the life and death book of monkeys and grandsons in Huaguo Mountain!
Sun Wukong became a mythical figure in the legend, while the emperors were criticized by the foolish monarch. After all, it was nothing more than a success or defeat!
Of course, in fact, let alone the ancient times...
Even in modern society, various countries are constantly studying how to allow humans to obtain longer life...
The so-called genetics is essentially the most fundamental purpose, which is actually here. As for the emergence of cloning technology, the original purpose was to allow people to replace the necrotic organs on their bodies, but in the end it was put on hold for various reasons...
Of course, although it is put on the surface, the research on gene cloning has never really stopped, nor will it really stop. Human cloning will sooner or later return to the stage of science, and will appear in front of people sooner or later!
Of course, even in modern society, science still cannot make people live longer...
At least for ordinary people, it is impossible for them to enjoy the treatment of black technology!
Even if technology has made breakthrough progress, the wealthy and those in power will definitely benefit in the first place!
This is their privilege as the top-level existence of the human pyramid!
Of course, after the emergence of the awakened, various countries have finally had a relatively clear goal in their research on genetics. The leaders of various countries have gradually focused their attention on the awakened...
They try to analyze the source of the awakened person's power through scientific research and find ways to allow ordinary people to gain the power of the awakened person...

Of course, analyzing the power of the awakened person in a purely scientific sense is itself an act of putting the cart before the horse, and the so-called success has always been very small...
However, the awakened people themselves gradually mastered their own power through various methods and became monsters one by one...
The biggest difference between awakened people and ordinary people is that the natural existence of awakened people is equivalent to a state that many ordinary people can only obtain by striving to pursue...
Any awakened person, as long as the awakened person is organized to earn it, can easily live a relatively comfortable life and receive relatively generous treatment...
And the pursuit of awakened people and ordinary people is also essentially different!
For ordinary people, pursuing immortality is the end of their dreams!
But for the awakened ones, this is just their starting point!
Yes, it's just the starting point!
Unlike ordinary people, what awakened people need to pursue is not only a longer life, but also a stronger power!
In the cognition of the awakened person, there has never been a life without power in this world...
Longevity without power is just a joke!
Just like a giant dragon in the Western fantasy world, it is a powerful life with power and life span...
Like the turtles in reality, although they live long, there are very few who can truly live to their lifespan. They often die in various natural and man-made disasters. After all, it is simply because although they live long, they do not have the strength to do so!
By the same token, if the plants and trees have spirits, they are also long-lived but do not have the ability to protect themselves. For example, Ganoderma lucidum, Polygonum multiflorum, has the longer the year, the better the medicinal effect. However, no matter what year they can grow in theory, when they meet the herb collector, they will only have the fate of becoming medicinal materials...
Only a lifespan that matches power can be considered a lifespan in the true sense. If it is just a simple longevity without the protection of power, then it is actually like a man who is guilty of being guilty of being a treasure, but it will become a disaster for himself...
By the same token, many women fantasize about having a peerless appearance, but never thought that beauty itself is actually a very dangerous resource. If there is no sufficient protection, it will still be plundered. At that time, beauty will often not only not have any benefits, but will become a disaster!
Just like the beautiful concubines who appear in the battle in the harem, they are often killed by the queen in the end...
After all, it is simply because beauty does not have the power to match it...
