"The biggest advantage of our human race that enables us to stand on equal footing with the heavens and the earth is not because we have many children. Rather, it is because we are born with spirituality and a suitable fertility rate. This has gradually enabled us to stand on equal footing with the heavens and the earth, and even occupy the land of Kyushu."
"But the appearance of the celestial beings broke this rule, and the birth rate of the human race has been declining. This is because the celestial beings have enabled the human race to cultivate from birth, from Qi training to foundation building, and finally to the golden elixir."
"Now it has appeared again. I don't know if it will spread in the future, but please restrict the celestial beings from giving birth to offspring. This is a curse for the human race."
Master Feixing tells of a disaster called Tianren. In his words, Tianren is a disease, a disease that can destroy the human race.
Qiong Yu was very confused. Isn't this a good thing?
The human race is now very large. If we put aside the demographic dividend she learned in sociology, a smaller population can actually greatly reduce stress for individuals. The same is true in biology. The number of individuals that an environment can accommodate is limited. The more individuals there are, the greater the stress.
If everyone has cultivation at birth, then they will basically not be afraid of cold or heat, will not get sick, and will hardly be injured or die.
Take the foundation-building stage for example, the human race can leap 56 meters high and 1525 meters away without using any Taoist methods or external forces. Just relying on physical fitness, all aspects of physical data are comparable to tigers.
If one is trained and masters various Taoist methods, his personal ability will be equivalent to that of Superman in film and television works.
Another intuitive point is the ability to withstand blows. When facing a high-speed truck, as long as the foundation is built up with some defensive measures, even if it is just to avoid direct damage to the head, death on the spot can basically be avoided.
Afterwards, he took some pills and practiced some internal energy to completely escape danger of death.
If everyone is at the foundation-building stage, the death rate from car accidents will be reduced by 90%, or even more. This is because the driver also has cultivation skills, so his reaction ability must be extraordinary.
The development of productivity is ultimately a good thing, and having self-cultivation is by no means a bad thing.
“Isn’t this a good thing?”
Shui Ming Yuanjun spoke out Qiong Yu's thoughts. She said, "We are not cultivating and developing by eating people. The immortals once said that the quality of population is more important than the quantity. It is more important to properly control the population and leave more spare resources for the people to improve their lives."
"Unfortunately, the measures have not been perfected. In the past, we used animal bladders and testicles, etc. But after the great changes in the world, there are not so many animals. Even if I raise millions of pigs, they are not enough for the human race to use once every three days on average. Moreover, many people cannot lock their yangguan tightly, and they don't like to carry pig bladders."
"In the end, I had to give birth, and then I was fined, and then nothing happened. More and more people came, and they also complained that my Qingqiu pig bladder was not working well."
When it comes to the problem, Shui Ming Yuanjun couldn't help but complain and vent his grievances.
"Just like back then..."
Population is a problem that all civilizations cannot escape. This was true in modern times, in ancient times, and even more so in the Asgard era.
The harsh natural environment, limited cave space, and barren land that makes it difficult to grow food are all reasons that have prompted the Immortal Palace to implement strict population control.
At that time, the Urban Management Department's Household Registration Office issued warnings every year about what would happen if the population continued to grow, but almost every time, the warnings were cleverly resolved by the growing number of monks in the Immortal Palace. More people meant more monks, and monks meant productivity.
But there is a limit after all.
About 100 years before his death, the human population reached over two billion.
The population has only increased several times in the prosperous millennium, which is the result of extremely strict population control and the active cooperation of the people. Unless large-scale castration is implemented, large-scale population reduction is impossible in the prosperous era of immortals.
Education has opened the people's minds and enabled them to understand the general trend of heaven and earth, so they cooperate with the Fairy Palace. The Fairy Palace also understands that the people have a hard time, their desires are unbearable, and they are demanding.
Faced with the population red line, some extremists have gradually emerged, and all kinds of monsters and demons have appeared.
This led to the first civil strife in the Immortal Palace.
It is known in history as the Chaos of the Nine Immortals Alliance.
A group of people who claim to save immortals and human beings want to eliminate a part of the useless population to make room for those who are more qualified to survive.
And this survival qualification will be subsequently linked to heaven and man.
To get back to the point, the emergence of celestial beings actually indirectly solved the population red line problem.
Ordinary people find it difficult to control their desires, as lust is part of their nature. And celestial beings are no different from ordinary people if they don’t practice cultivation, but their cultivation levels are destined to make it difficult for them to conceive.
After finishing speaking, Shui Ming Yuan Jun felt a little dry in the mouth, and finally came to a conclusion: "Now the human race is nearly 10 billion people, and Shenzhou accounts for almost half of them. There is indeed enough food and places to live, but what about the future? I checked it online a few days ago. 70 years ago, there were only 3 billion people in the world, and now it has tripled."
"Heavenly people are necessary, to prevent the population from exploding again."
Qiong Yu interrupted and said, "In fact, the population growth has gradually slowed down, and it is estimated that it will be negative in ten years."
Learning is a quality that a great person should have. Maybe not everyone is cunning, but it is very easy to understand things about data.
Qiong Yu didn't understand the complicated human relationships and social conventions, but she could understand the clear data and theories at a glance.
Shui Ming Yuanjun searched the memories in his mind and nodded in agreement.
"This is the cyclical nature of history. When a certain limit is reached, war will break out. In fact, the beast tide in the ancient sacred mountain a long time ago was the same. There were too many monsters, so they had to drive them out and fight the human race. It became a large area, so it didn't matter if they were defeated."
