Hua Wucuo paused at his words. "The mighty power of divine abilities must not serve private interests?"
Li Chen said, "Exactly. Once the mighty power of divine abilities becomes private property, cultivators will inevitably withdraw from society and place themselves high above everyone else!"
"This should have been a power used to transcend, not a power used to exploit others."
"But the powerful and the Great Powers occupy immortal mountains and blessed lands, claim the merit of heaven and earth, and monopolize all the resources of cultivation. Most, driven by selfish motives, gradually seek out theories that justify their virtue as befitting their station, calling whatever they obtained through chance encounters or cunning theft and outright plunder their rightful due."
"I don't care what happens outside. In my Ideal Heavenly Kingdom, value and status must be measured by production and creation, not power."
"So, in my materialized heaven, these things aren't necessarily benefits or privileges. Those lie in the universal Foundation Establishment achieved through collective progress, followed by universal Core Formation, and eventually enhancement modifications to still higher realms."
In his exposition of the materialized nine realms, Li Chen had also mentioned that beyond lesser unity heaven, the limits of what a material foundation could achieve had already been reached. Financial freedom and personal freedom, in the ordinary worldly sense, would basically be realized. Everyone would be successful; everyone would be an aristocrat.
Scarcity made things precious; abundance made them cheap.
As early as seventy years ago, Li Chen had proposed the perfect person project and the vision of quadrillions of cultivators and a million Great Powers. These truly should not have been scarce things.
Once everyone was like dragons, only intelligence and knowledge would possess true value. Only developing productive capacity and creating wealth would be the natural order
