Within the world of the White Snake.
"The world is still progressing just like reality."
Si Zang sighed as he looked through the changes in the White Snake World over the past thousand years.
Lin Feng, standing nearby, was also examining the area, but his gaze found some expected answers in the details: "The same... yet different..."
Si Zang followed his gaze and noticed some unusual changes in the record Lin Feng pointed to: "The New World Alliance? Oh, so they have ambitions to overthrow the world?"
Ideas unite people's hearts, and from people's hearts, rights naturally arise.
Inevitably, a group of people who saw power and money emerged during this process. They quickly built a vast network and manipulated everything in the world from behind the scenes.
Xu Shilin helped Lin Feng leave behind changes, but people's hearts are not as perfect as they think.
"Tsk tsk, they actually want to sever Xu Shilin's lineage..." Si Zang opened his eyes and immediately saw a record that surprised him.
“This world doesn’t need people who are too smart. They want to cut off Xu Shilin’s legacy and make ordinary people repeatedly fall into a vortex of self-searching and self-numbing, so that the world can become a tool for them to profit.” Lin Feng put down his notes: “They don’t want everyone to become smart. They only want smart people to become smart.”
"Those who are lost become lambs, part of the human breeding program..."
Si Zang took the record and flipped through it many times until he saw what he wanted to see: "It's alright, look, someone has already thought of this, hasn't they? They have been working hard in various places to pass on the original ideas."
At first glance, the original inheritors went in another direction, while those inconspicuous ordinary people became the true inheritors, passing on a glimmer of hope and allowing them to see the changes in the world with their own eyes.
“No, it failed. Inheritance is merely inheritance; it is only a continuation of ideas and has not given birth to new spiritual light.” Lin Feng shook his head and said, “These ideas have not sparked any new ideas.”
Si Zang advised, "Whatever, your expectations are too high. The transmission of ideas requires a catalyst. If someone can resonate with what we think, that is enough to prove that this path can move forward. As for the outcome... not everyone can be like you."
"Yes... but I didn't feel the power of hope. They were like people trapped within the framework of inheritance... losing their own color." Lin Feng sighed. He could feel this power more than Si Zang. It was his will, his thoughts, the change he wanted to bring, but this change firmly imprisoned these people in place.
Perhaps the framework is too big, or perhaps it's not the right time.
At that very moment, a sigh came from beside Lin Feng. Wenquxing, dressed in modern clothes, appeared out of thin air and walked step by step to Lin Feng: "Actually, you have already succeeded. You have left hope and you have left change. It's just that humans will always live within the framework of humanity, suffering the tests of birth, aging, sickness, death, power, and desire."
Not everyone can give up everything they have for a vague and unattainable ideal.
“Yes, this isn’t something that can be accomplished with just a word or an idea.” Si Zang leaned closer to reassure him, “Are we going to try and solve it all at once, only to have the whole world fall into a fixed pattern again?”
"I see..."
Lin Feng murmured something to himself. He didn't actually want the whole world to change drastically; he just hoped to see a spark of hope ignite in a completely different, new person.
He didn't want to see himself, but someone else... a new person.
"Come with me."
Wenquxing seemed to have seen through Lin Feng's thoughts. After saying something, it flew into the distant sky first.
Lin Feng followed and quickly approached Wenquxing, arriving at a somewhat dilapidated school.
“Actually, you know very well that even with the same experience, different people will see it differently.” Wenquxing appeared in front of the children, who were holding the same fairy tale book, but had completely opposite thoughts in their minds.
"Your mind has opened a window, but behind this window, some want to be princes, some want to ride horses at full gallop, and some want to be hunters."
"The children's pure hearts represent their understanding of the world. The same story of Yu Gong moving mountains can lead to different thoughts." Wenquxing waved his hand, and the children's thoughts immediately appeared in the eyes of the group.
"Why not hire more people?"
"They went to move mountains, what will they eat?"
"The mountain has been moved, and no one walks this road anymore."
"Why didn't he just carve out a road instead of moving mountains?"
Different voices echoed in Lin Feng's ears, and those pure, unadulterated voices calmly revealed the most innocent side of the world to him.
“Especially in a peaceful era, in an era without the threat of war and riots, everything is a temptation, which can make them give up thinking and make them face more choices.” Wenquxing said: “The more peaceful it is, the harder it is to make choices. I have passed on my ideas to you, but as the world becomes better... it is harder for people to live well.”
"So, I tried a different approach..."
After Wenquxing led Lin Feng to the school where these children were taught, a large Taoist temple appeared before them: "In the Taoist school, there are two methods for cultivating offspring. One is to cultivate people who have seen through the world, who cultivate themselves and are not disturbed by external things, and are able to pass on their thoughts; the other is to cultivate children from a young age, whose growth will not be disturbed by external things, until they grow up and can see everything from a perspective beyond the material world than ordinary people."
Hearing Wenquxing's words, Si Zang exclaimed in surprise, "This..."
“If we were to use modern methods, you would need to raise everyone’s ‘cognition’ and ‘education’ to a certain level before they could break free from the shackles of desire,” Wenquxing said. “Or some people who are naturally low in material desires.”
"If it really succeeds, and this trend continues, the social environment will fall into another vicious cycle of human nature."
"Moreover... it also requires countless ordinary people to support this behemoth."
"They are the pillars of society, but also victims of humanity."
“I see… I…” Lin Feng understood, and a new thought arose in his mind at the same time: “If their understanding really reaches that level and they ignore the temptations of the outside world, would they still be willing to do hard work… Or when machines can replace physical work, would the remaining people really be able to see themselves as ordinary people, rather than the so-called lofty, all-seeing, radiant ordinary people?”
"Of course not." Si Zang laughed suddenly: "Showing off is a human instinct."
Wenquxing smiled silently, but also nodded.
Lin Feng said self-deprecatingly, "I was too idealistic. I thought my ideas could be changed... but if things went according to my plan, it would be like invisibly elevating humanity and creating an unattainable ideal..."
"I can't just look at the bright side."
"The world doesn't change because of a single idea; rather, the emergence of an idea is absorbed by the world, thus becoming integrated into it..."
"Yes, I have achieved my goal..."
Lin Feng relaxed. Before entering the White Snake World, he thought there would be some exciting changes, but in reality, the reality of any world will not change as he imagined without the intervention of an absolute power.
But undeniably, the seed of this idea has already been planted.
"Oh? What? What's going on? What have you figured out?" Si Zang was suddenly a little confused.
Lin Feng immediately explained, "My idea is to mold everyone into dragons, but think about it... if everyone becomes a college student, won't there be a huge void in the next era?"
"Looking back at my ideas, I realize they were attempts to forcibly change human society. What I wanted to do wasn't to have the God of Literature pass on his legacy for me..."
"What is that?" Shizang became even more curious.
