After Jiraiya finished speaking, everyone weighed in. Peace was easy to talk about, but making it real was another matter entirely.
They discussed and brainstormed. Some proposed a system of rules, some wanted a single organization to lead everyone, and others suggested redirecting conflicts...
[Administrator] Meng Chuan lv149: Jiraiya, would you say my world is peaceful?
Meng Chuan decided to give Jiraiya some guidance.
[Group Member] Jiraiya lv45: I've learned a bit about Shrouding the Heavens lately. Ever since the Great Emperor rose to power, the Shrouding the Heavens World has been fairly peaceful.
As for the fights between Cultivators, those were only natural.
The Cultivators of Shrouding the Heavens could not stop competing. If they did, the whole world would "die."
[Administrator] Meng Chuan lv149: Then why has that relative peace been possible?
It was only relative peace. Absolute peace was another matter. Living beings were complicated; as long as their thoughts differed, disputes would arise.
But if everyone's thoughts were made the same—through something like Madara Uchiha's Eye of the Moon Plan in the Hokage world, where everyone was controlled—could they still be called human?
[Group Member] Jiraiya lv45: Because... of the Great Emperor?
[Administrator] Meng Chuan lv149: I don't know whether I'm right, but if you were a Great Emperor, wouldn't you feel you had more room to shape the peace?
In other words, it came down to cultivation!
With greater strength, one could naturally do more, and certain problems became easier to solve.
A Shrouding the Heavens person, a Shrouding the Heavens soul.
Meng Chuan had been in Shrouding the Heavens for nearly twenty thousand years. Naturally, he thought the Shrouding the Heavens way.
Raise a fist and get it done!
[Group Member] Jiraiya lv45: Ah, Great Emperor, I understand!
Meng Chuan nodded in satisfaction. Good.
