Under One Person: Did Zuo Ruotong and I switch bodies?
Chapter 50 Humanity Book 1
Soon, Zuo Ruotong and Lu Lin boarded the plane, along with Zhang Chulan.
Previously, Zuo Ruotong had specifically instructed him to just follow along obediently, and he was quite obedient, remaining quiet the whole way.
But he was still a child, and had never been to the city before, let alone taken such a luxurious plane. As soon as he entered the cabin, he began to look around curiously.
Not only him, but even Zuo Ruotong himself was a little curious, as this was the first time in his life he had ever been on an airplane...
"No superpowers, no cultivation required, yet I can take people to heaven?" He activated his innate superpowers.
wow——
In an instant, Zuo Ruotong's vision changed, and a strange phenomenon shot into the sky and came into view.
It is not as mysterious as the Xuanmen sect, but it also contains the rhythm of heaven and earth, and a strong image of primordial chaos floats within it...
"It is the destiny of humanity!"
The fortune of heaven and earth can be concentrated in individuals or gathered by groups. The difference is that an individual's fortune is bestowed by heaven and earth, while a group's fortune is formed by the collective efforts of the group.
Just like the human destiny, it is the result of tens of thousands of years of development by the human race.
Nowadays, everyone says that only humans, being the most intelligent beings in the world, can stand at the pinnacle of all living beings and take control of this entire world.
But in reality, it is through the tireless efforts and relentless progress of humankind that we have acquired our own "destiny" and created our own "spirit," thereby enabling us to stand strong for so long...
Dominating to this day!
The fact that this airplane is currently displaying signs of human destiny indicates that it is a crystallization of human development and a manifestation of destiny. The more of these things there are, the deeper the destiny of the group will be, and the longer it will continue.
As the plane took off, he sat by the window and was awestruck to see the entire city shrouded in a mysterious aura...
"All of this is the result of the wisdom of ordinary people. They lack extraordinary power and the methods to ascend to heaven, yet they can still rise to the sky with their mortal bodies. Perhaps... this is the 'cultivation' of mortals."
At this moment, Zuo Ruotong already knew about the current situation of the extraordinary people, and couldn't help but sigh. But when he saw these unimaginable things, he felt that everything was very reasonable.
"but……"
As he watched the city shrink, and then examined the airplane, a sudden inspiration struck him: "To seek development through tools, and to use external things as a foundation—isn't this the very way of crafting tools?"
If it could be combined with weapon crafting, or even supernatural abilities and various methods, could all of this develop even better?
The answer should be yes.
The question is, why not do it this way?
This is the biggest question Zuo Ruotong has been asking so far—even though superhumans have more convenient abilities that can help ordinary people develop well, ordinary people nowadays choose to hide superhumans and not even rely on any superhuman power.
"Does it mean... you don't belong to our kind?"
This was the only answer he could think of, and also the most absurd one to him. After all, people with supernatural abilities and ordinary people were essentially one, the only difference being their "talent"...
Why separate them?
There are outstanding individuals among ordinary people, like those who developed this airplane and built this city. They may not have extraordinary power, but they all possess extraordinary wisdom...
In what way are they inferior to the extraordinary?
"or……"
"It's just a consideration for those in power."
Zuo Ruotong's eyes narrowed slightly, and she gently shook her head. Throughout history, she had never heard of an extraordinary person holding power. Very few people were able to enter the court as officials, precisely because those in power were wary of them.
In terms of politics, the highest position that an extraordinary person can reach is either a general in wartime or an assassin for the court, and even then, they are bound by those in power and have no real authority.
"Those who serve the people in politics should appoint the virtuous and capable, regardless of their background or whether they are extraordinary. They should only ask about their heart for governing the world and their talents. The best approach is to delegate power according to their abilities."
"But all those in power are trapped by the word 'power'. Once they sit on the dragon throne, they are unwilling to step down. Whether they are incompetent or virtuous, they must first eliminate all forces and influences that could pull them down. This is the pleasure of being a ruler..."
"But this is also a tragedy for the people."
As a cultivator and a member of the Xuanmen sect, Zuo Ruotong, though indifferent to worldly affairs and political upheavals, still had his own views.
The practice of the Three Ones inherently combines Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism, and none of these three religions can help but shake their heads at the actions of worldly monarchs...
"That's ridiculous."
Upon realizing this, Zuo Ruotong's eyes flickered, and she suddenly remembered her agreement with Lu Jin. Given the current situation, even if the Sanyi Sect were rebuilt, it would probably be difficult for it to prosper.
The Xuanmen sect is different from ordinary sects. It not only needs to recruit disciples to continue its lineage, but also has its own unique fortune in terms of incense offerings. This fortune requires the accumulation of worshippers and the recognition and worship of the people in order to succeed.
"The Trinity Temple has now ceased its incense offerings and disappeared from the sight of the mortal world. Given the current situation, it would be extremely difficult to rebuild a temple out of thin air..."
"Times have changed, are there other ways to solve this problem?"
Although Zuo Ruotong comes from the past, his thinking is by no means outdated. The path of cultivation is constantly evolving and requires continuous absorption of nourishment from heaven and earth. Now that we have entered a new era, we should naturally look at things from the perspective of the new era.
"How can we bring the mysteries of the Xuanmen (Taoist sects) into the eyes of the common people during an era when extraordinary individuals are hidden?" he pondered.
And soon...
Zuo Ruotong's gaze fell on the plane. Recalling the question she had just asked, she realized that for ordinary people, the power of superhumans was mysterious and profound. But for most superhumans and ordinary people, how could this huge machine not be mysterious?
This might be the breakthrough.
"Go with the flow..."
As mentioned earlier, ordinary people and superhumans are essentially one. Although the current authorities are wary of superhumans, they cannot prevent them from integrating into society. Take the Lu family, for example; they were merchants in the past and now they own a huge conglomerate...
As long as ordinary people don't become aware of the existence of the superhuman, no one will care.
This is the essential method by which extraordinary individuals integrate into ordinary society, and the same applies to establishing sects and even rebuilding the Xuanmen (Taoist sect)...
As long as ordinary people are not made aware of the extraordinary nature of these beings, but rather guided to believe that it is a reasonable existence in ordinary society, it may be possible to succeed!
"Whether it's the path of cultivation for extraordinary individuals or the path of worldly things for ordinary people, it's all part of the human way..."
The two are originally one.
They can be converted into each other.
"But if we really want to succeed, simply cheating is the worst approach. It's hard to sustain in the long run and more likely to backfire. The best way is to truly align ourselves with the times, but how exactly to do that..."
He still needs to think about it.
that's it.
Zuo Ruotong pondered it carefully.
Time flies by.
Two hours later, the plane landed at Tianjin Airport, where the car arranged by the Lu family was already waiting.
Without delay, the three immediately got into the car and sped towards the Nadutong Logistics Center in the suburbs.
Meanwhile, in the underground of the logistics center, Xu Xiang had already returned...
There was another person following behind him.
