Chapter Seventy: The Power of Culture! Influencing Alien Race and Educating Soul Beast? (Please Read On!)
In the Divine Realm, before the gods could recover from the shock brought about by Cang Jie's creation of characters and the Confucian Dao Cultivation Method, a magnificent voice once again resounded from the Sky Screen.
The emergence of writing marks the beginning of civilization.
However, the strength of Chinese culture lies not only in Cang Jie's invention of characters, nor solely in Confucian Dao Cultivation Method.
Written language can record history, pass on knowledge, and carry ideas. It can also transcend racial and geographical barriers, allowing different civilizations to understand each other and enabling previously unfamiliar beings to move towards a shared future.
When culture truly permeates the very fabric of a civilization, and when knowledge and thought are passed down among all people, the so-called power of civilization is no longer confined to one person, one race, or one star, but can influence the entire universe!
As the sound from the Sky Screen faded, the expressions of the crowd, who were still immersed in the awe of the Confucian Dao Cultivation Method, changed once again.
The many Deities in the Divine Realm, in particular, all raised their heads, their eyes revealing deep surprise.
They originally thought that the so-called cultural inheritance of Huaxia Star was nothing more than passing down writing, classics, and cultivation methods.
But now it seems they clearly underestimated the true depth of the Huaxia Star civilization.
Written texts can record knowledge, classical texts can store wisdom, and cultivation methods can make future generations stronger.
The combination of these three factors is enough to free a civilization from dependence on a single powerful individual.
Even if those who once possessed knowledge have passed away, even if the sages who pioneered cultivation methods are no longer alive, as long as their thoughts are still passed down, their wisdom will not truly disappear!
That's the most terrifying aspect of culture.
In the Divine Realm, the Asura God's expression gradually became solemn.
As God King wields immense Divine Power, he knows better than anyone that even a Deities with world-destroying power still has their own limits.
However, a civilization that can continuously pass on knowledge and cultivate strong individuals can accumulate unimaginable depth over a long period of time.
A strong person is born today, and a genius will appear tomorrow.
A thousand years from now, ten thousand years from now, how many successors will stand on the shoulders of their predecessors and reach even greater heights?
Thinking of this, the Asura God's gaze turned gloomy.
If the culture of Huaxia Star can truly transcend planets and influence one Alien Race after another, then the power possessed by this planet is probably far more terrifying than they previously imagined!
At this very moment, the scene in the Sky Screen has changed.
Beneath the vast Starry Sky, one after another, unfamiliar planets emerge.
Some planets are covered by dense primeval forests, where ancient behemoths roam between mountains and rivers.
Some planets are rich in metal veins, and the Alien Race living on them possess powerful physiques, yet they have never been able to develop a complete civilization.
On other planets, various races fight each other, endlessly battling for limited resources.
In these exotic lands, the strong often wield absolute power.
The weak depend on the strong, one group oppresses another, and some Alien Race even regard killing as the only law of survival.
In such a world, power is everything.
Whoever has the bigger fist can make the rules.
Whoever conquers other races can become the so-called overlord.
But in this dog-eat-dog world, Huaxia Star appeared.
Unlike those civilizations that readily wield weapons and conquer Alien Race by force, the way Huaxia Star demonstrates its power is to spread its culture!
In the scene, envoys from the Huaxia Star traverse the Starry Sky, carrying a wealth of ancient texts, knowledge, and various cultural achievements, and step into the territories of Alien Race.
Faced with initial skepticism, they did not rush to demonstrate force.
Faced with rejection from Alien Race, they did not immediately launch a war.
They simply taught the local inhabitants the language of Huaxia Star, compiled various kinds of knowledge into books, and then passed them on to those Alien Race who had never been exposed to systematic knowledge in an easy-to-understand way.
At first, those Alien Race didn't take it seriously at all.
In their view, what use could a few sheets of paper covered in symbols possibly be?
They had more faith in their weapons and the powerful force within them than in these seemingly harmless objects.
However, as time went on, the situation began to change.
Originally unable to communicate, ethnic groups gradually built bridges of communication through the use of written language.
Knowledge that could only be passed down orally was recorded and thus spread among the tribe.
The learning time for skills that originally required countless trials and errors to master was greatly shortened thanks to the emergence of classical texts.
Those Alien Race that could only survive by instinct began to learn how to cultivate, how to build, how to utilize resources, and even began to study the connection between their own power and the laws of nature.
They gradually discovered that there was another path besides struggle and conquest.
Knowledge can create wealth.
Ideas can change a people.
Culture enables countless beings who were originally strangers to share a common way of understanding the world!
What's even more astonishing is that Huaxia Star did not require all Alien Race to abandon their own traditions.
Conversely, the cultural inheritors of Huaxia Star encourage different races to record their own history, organize their own knowledge, and then exchange it with the cultural system of Huaxia Star.
Take the best from it to make up for your own shortcomings.
Different civilizations thus collided and sparked new ideas.
Originally hostile to each other, Alien Race gradually began to learn each other's languages and skills.
Groups that once only knew how to solve problems with force are now beginning to try to resolve conflicts through communication.
Of course, not all Alien Race can put aside their hatred in a short time, nor is every ethnic group willing to accept foreign knowledge.
However, the changes brought about by Huaxia Star were enough to make those Alien Race realize that the survival rules they once firmly believed in were not the only option.
This is the power of culture!
It doesn't need to constantly show its strength, yet it can subtly change the mindset of an entire group.
It may not be able to conquer a planet in an instant, but it can enable generations of living beings to learn and pass on their knowledge.
When one civilization begins to understand another, when knowledge transcends racial boundaries, the culture of Huaxia Star is no longer just the wealth of Huaxia Star itself.
It is becoming an existence that the entire universe cannot ignore!
[Conquering a tribe by force may bring temporary submission.]
[Using shared interests to maintain a group can secure temporary cooperation.]
Only by inspiring thought with culture and broadening horizons with knowledge can different civilizations understand each other and move forward together through inheritance and exchange.
This is the educational philosophy of Chinese culture!
[This is also the way of the benevolent ruler!]
The sound echoed through the Sky Screen, and the entire Douluo Star fell into a brief silence.
Immediately afterwards, exclamations of surprise swept across the land like a tidal wave.
"My God! This is unbelievable!"
"So culture can be used in this way? Without conquering by force, it actually gets those Alien Race races to learn things from Huaxia Star?"
"If this could truly be achieved, wouldn't Huaxia Star be able to influence countless races? And wouldn't those Alien Race, once they learn the knowledge of Huaxia Star Huaxia Star, gradually come to accept its ideals?"
"It's more than just agreement! Haven't you seen it? Written language can transmit knowledge, and knowledge can change an entire people! This is far more powerful than simply cultivating a few strong individuals!"
One of the Soul Master couldn't help but swallow hard, gazing at the scene in the Sky Screen with a look of utter shock.
The reason why Soul Master hold such a superior status on Douluo Star is largely because Soul Power and Martial Soul determine the upper limit of a person's strength.
No matter how hard ordinary people try, it is difficult for them to overcome the gap caused by their innate conditions.
However, the cultural system displayed by Huaxia Star showed the people of Douluo Star a completely different possibility.
A person who lacks talent may not be able to become a top expert.
But he was still able to learn knowledge, master skills, and pass on his experience to future generations.
Even if a strong person falls, the wisdom they leave behind can serve as a stepping stone for those who come after them to continue their progress.
If the entire Douluo Star could achieve this, how would we measure the value of countless ordinary people?
Thinking of this, many people's gazes towards the Sky Screen changed.
They finally understood why Huaxia Star was able to demonstrate such amazing advantages in fields such as technology and culture.
Because in the civilization system of Huaxia Star, power is not the only thing worth pursuing.
Knowledge, creation, and inheritance all possess immeasurable value!
Once the people of Douluo Star realized this, the scales in their hearts tipped once again.
The Spirit Hall has the support of the Huaxia Star.
If the Spirit Hall could truly introduce the cultural system of Huaxia Star, would ordinary people also gain more opportunities as a result?
Can ordinary people without powerful Martial Soul also change their fate through learning?
This temptation is undoubtedly fatal for ordinary people who have long lived under the order of Soul Master and nobles.
As a result, more and more people are turning their attention to the Spirit Hall.
What they need is not just a force that can rival the nobility, but a future that can bring hope to ordinary people!
Spirit City.
Bibi Dong gazed at the Sky Screen, her eyes growing ever brighter.
"Cultural education, the way of the benevolent ruler..."
