For those already living on Cherry Blossom Country Island, aside from restrictions on entering and leaving the island, there are no restrictions on their free movement within the island. This is one of the fundamental purposes of this social experiment: to directly analyze the level of satisfaction and inclinations of the people under various political systems and laws through the spontaneous flow of people.
Whether a political system or a law is good or bad can never be determined by a few comments from experts or celebrities. Only the general public, who are living under the law themselves, can truly know whether the law is good or bad.
A minority of people may applaud the law because they are beneficiaries of the existing system, but the best law is one that is appreciated by the vast majority of people.
In the natural course of social development, it will take a long time for such a law to emerge, because at present, all laws are for maintaining stability, not for genuine fairness.
As for Divine Land, such laws aimed at maintaining stability are somewhat outdated. With the improvement of people's cultivation and their own abilities, they can now break away from the protection of the collective and protect themselves. For people with such high personal strength, the concept of the collective has become dispensable.
They are already capable of living independently outside the group, but at this point, the fundamental purpose of the group's laws is merely to maintain stability rather than fairness. This leads to a major problem: those who feel unfairly treated will choose to leave the group and develop on their own.
Although Earth Star is only so big, Divine Land has not unified the entire Earth Star. There are still many places that they can occupy and rule as their own, especially the more than one hundred small countries besides the nuclear-armed nations. These small countries are of little resistance to them, and any cultivator can easily take a place there.
To take it a step further, if we're still worried about Divine Land's continued expansion on Earth Star, we can simply leave Earth Star and go to other planets. There are eight planets in the Solar System, and several Earth-like planets to go to. We can learn some formations, understand some spiritual plant techniques, and find a place to hide on Venus or Mars without any problem.
Cultivators now have more choices, which necessitates changes to the existing legal system in Divine Land.
This large-scale social experiment in Cherry Blossom Country also signifies an exploration along this path.
It's not appropriate to mess around in my own home, but it feels much more comfortable to mess around with the Japanese.
Besides the bustling online betting area, the competition in other areas was equally fierce. For a sociologist, being able to personally design a miniature social structure is a very meaningful thing in itself. Although Divine Land has fixed the social structure of each region when it was divided into areas, there is still a lot of design they can do within the larger framework.
Just as both are feudal systems, the feudal system in Divine Land is completely different from that in the West, and within Divine Land, the systems of each dynasty, such as Qin, Han, Tang, and Song, were also different.
Scholars living in today's society have access to far more knowledge than those in ancient times, and the citizens they govern are all knowledgeable people, making them much more difficult to govern than the "ignorant masses" of ancient times.
In the struggle for the lead surgery rights in each region, experts from various schools of thought across the country were practically fighting tooth and nail. Even some older experts who were focused on spiritual practice and hoping to extend their lifespan had joined in.
Spiritual practice? What kind of practice is that? Where can one find enlightenment through spiritual practice? That's even more exciting.
As the saying goes, "If I hear the Way in the morning, I can die content in the evening."
Now that they've spent their entire lives researching something, they finally have a place to experiment with it, so of course they'll fight tooth and nail for it. Who knows when the next large-scale social experiment like this will be? Reclaiming Ryukyu? Or conquering the Eagle Country? Nobody knows.
But now that this opportunity is truly before us, we certainly can't let it slip by.
The most intense competition was concentrated in several large areas of the feudal district. After all, Divine Land had been under feudalism for thousands of years, and many experts had their own ideas about this system, hoping to recreate the glory of feudalism in this small area.
The least controversial aspect is actually the system of slavery. After all, slavery is too ancient, there is very little modern research on it, and there are not many experts in this field, so this part of the system is severely lacking.
What's particularly special is the experimental area of a matriarchal clan society under slavery. The person in charge of this area was a well-known feminist. She had a lot of online support and promoted extreme feminism. She had many supporters online and few competitors, so she easily won the right to design the system for this area.
It was also Divine Land's intention that she was able to secure the design rights for this area. After all, extreme feminism is making a lot of noise these days, so it's better to let them manage an area themselves and see what they're really fighting for.
Besides competition in terms of systems, there is also fierce competition in the legal field.
Moreover, unlike sociologists, many legal professionals have extensive relevant work experience and a thorough understanding of existing legal research. This social experiment gave them an opportunity to fully demonstrate their talents, which naturally attracted a lot of attention.
Moreover, it's not just legal professionals; many other people with similar interests also want to compete for this position, making the competition far more intense than that between the policymakers and the actual policymakers.
The scene and the number of participants were comparable to the college entrance examination, except that the competition was far more brutal.
At least with the college entrance exam, you can get into a school if you get a score, but with this exam, only the top few dozen students can qualify, and everyone else is just there to make up the numbers.
Fortunately, after the training, organizing such a large-scale selection took very little time; it only took about a week for the legislative power of each region to be distributed.
While things were getting lively on the Divine Land side because of this, Li Xingkong was engrossed in the cultivation technique library, staying there until the regional division was completed and he still hadn't come out.
The cultivation technique library contains many techniques. Even though the system scanned it first, and Li Xingkong then spent a considerable amount of time further examining what it had revealed.
Besides examining them, Li Xingkong would thoroughly understand the principles behind each unique cultivation technique before attempting to acquire it. Li Xingkong was even amazed by the designs of many of these techniques.
Although it is Qi Refining Stage method, the underlying principles of this method are probably not even understood by its creator. It was just a matter of chance that they discovered it could be used in this way and started using it, without understanding the underlying principles at all.
Li Xingkong also needed to communicate with the system to understand some of the knowledge points.
