Trinity Traitor: From One Person to the Other

Chapter 1003 The Theory of Innate Constancy, also known as the "Theory of the Unified Endpoint of the Divine Realm".

He Songling's reaction baffled Ru Hu. What did this mean? Did he think that taking a low-class path was actually a good thing?
Or perhaps this scoundrel's true nature has resurfaced, and he's planning to screw himself over.

Although Ru Hu was puzzled, he was not flustered. People like him who practiced the "horizontal cultivation" method liked to concentrate all their power into their own bodies. What was this talk of life cultivation, spirit, and Qi? It was all nonsense. They wanted to integrate it all into their physical bodies.

Therefore, this kind of person is also very down-to-earth.

It's not that Ru Hu is a very honest person. His family has been old Beijing hooligans for generations. The Zhang Chulan he just cosplayed was more like He Songling than Wu Gensheng. This shows that he is not the kind of person who is simple and honest. What I'm talking about here is Ru Hu's understanding of "cultivation".

That is, by means of fists.

I am strong now, and that is my strength; no matter how high your achievements may be in the future, or how much higher they may be than mine, I am stronger than you now, and that is my strength.

The champion of loans, the GOAT of loans, will be mercilessly ridiculed, and the god of loans will certainly be even more so.

Regardless of whether you become stronger or weaker than me after you achieve immortality, you are weaker than me right now. Since you haven't become an immortal yet, you can't withstand one punch from me, and you will die.

This is what the tiger believed.

His strength gives him a lot of confidence.

"That's exactly the kind of confidence I'm talking about," He Songling said, expressing his admiration for Na Ruhu's mindset.

"To put it bluntly, all that nonsense about the rising of pure energy and transcending the mortal body, about guardian deities and golden-armored warriors, about the distinction between high and low, about the Dao Ancestor and Celestial Master, about the local earth gods and mountain gods—a god is a god. Everyone is at the same innate realm, there is no distinction between high and low, nor is there much difference in strength."

He Songling and Lu Huizhong opened a time flow in their own world, which lasted for several years. No matter how good He Songling's physical strength was, or how much Lu Huizhong missed He Songling, it was impossible for the two of them to have a married life for several years.

Both being extraordinary individuals, aside from gossiping, the two also discussed the principles of cultivation in their spare time.

The two had previously discussed what cultivation was like, but that's all in the past now. Now, one is a creator-level immortal, and the other is a half-immortal, a contestant who can become an immortal at any time if he wants to. Naturally, they are talking about things beyond becoming immortals and gods.

They know some things themselves, but they also need to teach others. Both of them work in schools, teaching younger generations, passing on knowledge, and upholding the spirit of scientific research—that's their most important job.

What He Songling is talking to Na Ruhu about now is the latest research result of the couple.

"I call this the 'theory of innate constancy,' or the 'theory of the unified end point of the gods.'"

He Songling, hands behind his back, paced back and forth like a figure, lecturing Ru Hu: "So-called immortality is actually a leap in life form, from an ordinary acquired being to what we extraordinary people call the 'innate' realm, which is what we in the Zhong cultivation world call immortals. In this state, everyone is the same life form, and there is no question of who is higher or lower than whom. Of course, there will definitely be differences in combat power. An ordinary fat otaku and a boxing champion like Tyson are both ordinary people who haven't obtained Qi, and there are still differences in strength."

However, once you reach the 'god' level, the difference between everyone becomes almost negligible. Ordinary people don't have many means of defense or offense, but gods always have one or two trump cards. Even if they can't win, maintaining an undefeated record and successfully retreating is not difficult.

This is what I wanted to say: gods are gods, or rather, innate beings are innate beings, regardless of whether they attained their status through cultivation or were born that way, whether they ascended through spiritual cultivation or by force. There may be differences in strength, but there is no inherent superiority or inferiority; at most, they simply cannot defeat each other.

This is actually quite obvious. Seventy or eighty years ago, when He Songling first encountered the weasel mountain god with the hole in the sky, the mountain god had already told him this principle.

Immortals are all pretty much the same. Unless there are extremely rare exceptions like He Songling who created a new world, there is no question of who is superior or inferior to whom.

Despite being a beast, it's actually no less capable than the Four Celestial Masters. Of course, in terms of the legacy they left to humanity, the Four Celestial Masters are indeed more accomplished, since they were originally human and understand humans better.

But if it were truly a one-on-one fight, the Celestial Master wouldn't be any better than the one with the Heavenly Cave. On one side is the Celestial Master, and on the other is a beast and a mountain god. Intuitively, the beast is inferior to the Celestial Master in terms of both background and divine status. But in a real fight, this weasel might actually manage to scratch Zhang Daoling's face.

"Do you understand now? This is called the 'unified theory of the ultimate goal of gods'."

With his hands behind his back, He Songling pointed to the diagram drawn in the air and said, "There is no such thing as who is superior or inferior; it is only a matter of who holds the power of discourse. For a long time, the power of discourse in mysticism has been in the hands of those who practice metaphysics. Whether it is Buddhism or Taoism, they naturally prioritize their own theories."

Of course, in an era without a scientific path for the transmission of religious theories, it was indeed easier for those involved in religion to achieve immortality. This led to the common belief that immortals were ranked in order of rank. Celestial Masters and Buddhas were considered superior to strongmen.

In reality, this is nonsense. Being born with innate qualities is simply being born with innate qualities. No matter what path you take to achieve this, everyone is the same. Whether you are the Jade Emperor, a cook, or a carpenter, once you achieve this state of innate qualities, you are on the same level as all the gods.

The same applies to 'gods' abroad. Whether it's Zeus or Odin, Allah or God, these gods in the pantheon are essentially no different from ordinary gods.

Of course, these leaders, including Laozi (the Supreme Lord Lao) and Buddha (the Buddha of Buddhism), are still a cut above ordinary deities because they possess 'creation' or other offensive abilities. But in any case, the innate is the innate.

I have always advocated using a combination of science and Qi cultivation to understand the matter of Qi cultivation among extraordinary individuals. I will now try to explain it using my understanding of 'science,' which is that the so-called 'innate' is actually a leap in the level of life to another level.

As long as one masters the correct methods and possesses sufficient talent and accumulated experience, one can reach the same level of attainment regardless of the path taken. This applies to Buddhism and Taoism, physical training, martial arts, mechanical contraptions, and even scientific pursuits.

Believe it or not, on distant planets, there exist extraterrestrials with far more advanced technology than Earth. They must have also created many beings who use their methods, such as science, to achieve innate abilities.
