Chapter 1977: The boundary between life and death cannot be crossed, propelling the world towards greater prosperity.
Rainbow Cat knows that the boundary between life and death is one of the most fundamental laws of the universe, and it should not be easily transgressed.
Even if chat groups possess omnipotent power, capable of bringing the dead back to life, the price to be paid in this process, reflected in the world itself, will inevitably have a tremendous impact on the world.
If one recklessly disrupts the order of life and death simply for personal gain, the ultimate result may not be a happy ending, but rather a greater disaster, which could even shake the foundations of the world and cause more innocent people to suffer the consequences.
Rainbow Cat also knows that obtaining the points that can "bring the dead back to life" is not an easy task.
Although their world is a martial arts world with martial arts manuals, divine weapons, rare treasures, and even mythical beasts like the Qilin and Phoenix, the total number of these is limited. Moreover, these mythical beasts are part of the world and do not belong to anyone.
If one engages in plundering, extortion, and short-sighted exploitation in order to obtain "points" to fulfill one's own desires, how is that any different from the likes of the Black-Hearted Tiger?
Even if their wish is ultimately fulfilled, it will inevitably be built upon countless sacrifices and destruction, which is by no means what Rainbow Cat desires, and it goes against the original intention of the Seven Heroes to uphold justice.
So why did he still voice this "hope"? Why did he plant the seed of "resurrection" in the hearts of his companions?
Rainbow Cat's gaze slowly swept over each familiar face, and he already knew the answer in his heart.
“I am telling you this not to make a flimsy promise, nor to let this desire become an obsession that crushes us.”
"On the contrary, I hope that this longing for deceased relatives and friends, and this desire to make up for regrets, can become the strongest driving force on our way forward."
Rainbow Cat's voice was steady and powerful, like a babbling brook, washing away any potential anxiety.
"The 'integration' of that 'mysterious place' can theoretically accomplish many things that seem unbelievable or even impossible to us."
"But 'points' don't come out of thin air; they require 'resources' to redeem."
"Given the current state of our world, the number of things that can be directly exchanged for 'resources'—such as martial arts skills, precious swords, and existing rare and precious materials—is limited, and their values vary widely."
"If we rely solely on digging and searching for existing 'treasures,' there will eventually come a limit, and it is not the right path."
"How can we obtain a continuous and sufficient supply of 'resources' to support our need to become stronger, and even to reach that unattainable 'resurrection'?"
Rainbow Cat raised the question and also gave his own answer.
"The answer is to make our world itself 'richer'."
Seeing the thoughtful expressions on his companions' faces, he continued to explain:
“The ‘wealth’ here does not refer to gold and silver treasures, but to the world’s foundation, potential, and output!”
"It is everything that can benefit more living beings, advance civilization, and make the world more vibrant and prosperous!"
"In our world, martial arts have been passed down, but top-level techniques are often kept secret and difficult for ordinary people to grasp; farming and fishing rely heavily on the weather, resulting in limited production."
"Although there are miraculous healers, the benefits of medicine are difficult to extend to all people; the lives of ordinary people are still filled with hardship, and demons and evil spirits have not been eradicated."
"What if we use the knowledge, technology, or even higher-level insights gained from 'mysterious places' to give back to our world?"
Rainbow Cat's words gradually unfolded a magnificent picture.
"For example, in martial arts, could we simplify and promote some basic, health-strengthening exercises so that more people can practice martial arts to improve their health and enhance the physique and strength of the entire community?"
"Could we refine the concepts of profound martial arts to create a richer cultivation system and nurture more chivalrous individuals?"
"As more people practice martial arts and martial arts civilization flourishes, could the 'martial arts wisdom' emerging and the 'martial arts value' created throughout the world become a new and sustainable 'resource'?"
"For example, in terms of people's livelihood, there are farming methods that can increase grain production several times over and are not afraid of drought or flood; there is medical knowledge that can treat more difficult and complicated diseases at low cost; and there are ingenious skills that can improve tools and increase efficiency."
"We will bring these things here and promote them so that people can live and work in peace and contentment."
"When a world is materially abundant, has a thriving population, and boasts a brilliant civilization, it is undoubtedly a very good thing for the world's development."
“We can even proactively cultivate medicinal herbs that can be recycled.”
"Building our world, making it stronger and more promising; this process itself creates value and increases the world's resources!"
"And as the world's resources increase, the points we can earn through actions that benefit the world will naturally increase as well!"
At that time, resurrecting deceased relatives and friends will no longer be an unattainable dream, but a choice that they can make through joint efforts and by making the world a better place, one that they are capable of bearing the costs without harming the world.
The desire to let the deceased rest in peace can become their motivation to build this world; and the process and results of building this world, in turn, provide them with the possibility to realize that desire.
This is a virtuous cycle, a righteous path that lives up to the expectations of all people and one's own conscience!
They do not seek to satisfy their selfish desires through plunder and destruction, but rather to accumulate power and realize their aspirations through creation and construction.
They want the opportunities presented by the chat group to truly benefit all beings in this world, and for all beings in this world to reward them with points for fulfilling their wishes because of their efforts.
This is Rainbow Cat's idea.
Of course, many of these ideas were learned from other members in the chat group, as everyone was doing similar things.
Although their worlds are different and their power systems are different, none of them take from others in a short-sighted way.
On the contrary, they are all, in their own ways, pushing the world toward greater prosperity.
Draining the pond to catch all the fish will ultimately yield nothing.
The only way to achieve long-term success is through continuous development and making our world a better place.
Although some of them do this simply to gain more points, become stronger, or fulfill their desires.
But in the process, they really did a lot for the development of their world, making the lives of countless people better.
This is also what Rainbow Cat wants to do.
Merely wielding a sword to fight evil and uphold justice can save one person, ten people, or even a hundred people, but it is difficult to alleviate the hunger and suffering of the masses.
Only through development, construction, and transforming the power of chat groups into a force propelling the world forward can we fundamentally protect this land and the myriad lives that inhabit it.
Brothers, let's take a break today. Happy New Year everyone!
