Immortality, but people in primitive society

Chapter 518 Fate and Cause and Effect

"Because I feel like everything is already planned out, I'm becoming less and less human in my actions. Sometimes I even think, since everything is already planned out, it would be better if those people died sooner..."

"Sometimes I think it might not have been planned, but because we made a lot of choices, we have the current result..."

Listening to Donghua's melancholy narration, Bai Tian felt a sense of melancholy.

In fact, he sometimes thought this way, and sometimes even had serious self-destruction. Fortunately, he had Su Ling by his side, and he slowly got through it.

After Donghua finished speaking, Bai Tian said softly, "Donghua, you're talking about two things. One is fate, or destiny; the other is probably cause and effect."

Bai Tian explained fate and cause and effect to Donghua, and Donghua fell into deep thought.

In fact, Bai Tian is not very clear whether fatalism and causality are equivalent, but there is some connection between the two.

I had discussed fate with Su Ling earlier this day. However, Su Ling didn't have many thoughts. She just thought, since she was alive, she should do what she should do. There was no point in overthinking.

But how could a person not want to?

Just like now, Bai Tian also had a strong feeling that as Haotian, he must serve the Three Realms with his life. But, can he escape this fate?

Sometimes during the day he would think about not caring about anything and just lying down however he wanted. But he would soon realize that this idea was stupid.

It's impossible for a person to lie down all the time. Lying down is just a compromise with oneself. And at this point, compromising with oneself is self-destruction.

And sometimes, looking back, it doesn't seem like fate. It's as if no one ever forced me to follow this path. It's just that I made countless choices along the way, and they coincidentally combined to form the current result...

"Haotian, I seem to understand a little bit, but I don't quite understand it." Donghua pondered, "But I feel that this is related to the Tao."

Bai Tian nodded slightly. "Maybe. I have a hunch that this kind of thinking is actually a form of progress. Maybe in the future many people will think about this, and then there will be a way to transcend fate."

Bai Tian then smiled. "But I don't think we should get stuck in this kind of self-defeating situation right now. There are still many things in this world that we need to explore bit by bit. Whether it's fate or karma, they're probably not perfect yet, just like our world has never been perfect."

Donghua looked even more disappointed, his brows furrowed.

Bai Tian continued, "As for the issue of not being human, it actually has nothing to do with either of these. There's something called divinity, and that's the problem I'm currently facing..."

After Bai Tian explained divinity and humanity, Donghua's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Haotian, this divinity you mentioned is really interesting. God, what exactly is God?"

Bai Tian shrugged. "Actually, gods are also human. However, when their strength reaches a certain level, their thinking level surpasses that of ordinary people, and this is when the so-called 'divinity' emerges."

"Donghua, this question is a bit complicated. So, since you've already left Tianzhou, you can join my Tianmen."

Donghua nodded and agreed without hesitation: "Okay...Haotian, I have a feeling that there should be many masters who will show this kind of divinity. When the time comes, we can also pull them over and discuss fate and cause and effect together."

This is a good idea, but it may not work at the current stage. Most experts may not have reached this level yet.

Bai Tian then asked, "Donghua, do you have any ideas for the Heavenly Gate I want to build? I'm having a headache right now, wondering how to manage it."

After Bai Fengdu brings people here, Tianmen will have so many people that it will definitely need a complete management system, otherwise there will be trouble sooner or later.

But he was always unsure during the day. After all, the nature of Tianmen was too special. If he was not careful, it would lead to big changes.

When people have power, corruption will naturally breed, which is inevitable.

To circumvent this, one must either control human nature or make everyone a god. But is divinity perfect?

No, no machine can be perfect!

Therefore, any management system is actually constantly challenging human nature...

Donghua stroked his beard and pondered for a while. His eyes suddenly lit up. "Haotian, how about we borrow the western heaven? They use the sun and the moon, so we can separate them into male and female, and then let them control each other."

"Men have their own characteristics, and women have their own characteristics. The two sides cooperate and check and balance each other, and you sit in the middle..."

The checks and balances between men and women really brightened Bai Tian's eyes.

In this world, both men and women can cultivate, but women are naturally more emotional. Perhaps, this method can really be used to manage Tianmen.

Donghua continued, "Haotian, I heard from them that you have a lot of elixirs, and that they can quickly replenish spiritual energy. How about this: I'll refine more weapons while you refine the elixirs, and then we can use these to control them."

"First, we'll divide them into male and female, then we'll divide them into departments and groups, implementing regional management... But the world is big, so we'll just rotate shifts..."

Looking at Donghua who was talking nonstop, Bai Tian sighed sincerely that the naive boy who used to know nothing has now become a management elite.

For the next period of time, Bai Tian and Dong Hua continued to discuss Tianmen's management system.

According to Donghua's plan, the Southeast and Northwest Academies would be for women, and the Southeast and Northwest Academies for men. Donghua would personally manage the men's team, while Suling would temporarily take charge of the women's team.

As for Bai Fengdu, he is a special case. He needs to form a monitoring team, which is responsible for supervising both men and women and rewarding and punishing them.

Of course, many more things will arise later, such as how many ferocious beasts are needed, how to control them, etc.

There is one thing that cannot change, that is, Tianmen regards "Haotian as the sky", that is to say, Haotian is the greatest.

This also puts a lot of pressure on me during the day, but with pressure comes motivation, so just do it!

So, Bai Tian and Dong Hua started to search for minerals and medicinal materials, and also started to catch ferocious beasts. Dong Hua was very powerful now, after all, he had the Heavenly Blade.

Bai Tian suspected that Dong Hua's strength was second only to his...

One day, Donghua proposed that talents should still be selected from Tianzhou and Jiuzhou, but the selection should be done without the knowledge of Tianzhou and Jiuzhou.

Donghua's thinking was that the people of Tianzhou and Jiuzhou, after all, had long been influenced by cultivation civilization, and their perspectives were much stronger than those of other tribal civilizations. However, he wanted to avoid favoring Jiuzhou and Tianzhou, so he chose the talents he wanted without telling them.

Bai Tian agreed with this idea. Kyushu's education system is still complete, and after educational screening, the talent rate is still higher.

So, Bai Tian went towards Jiuzhou and Dong Hua went towards Tianzhou, and the two of them started to "steal people".

Oddly enough, Yinglong seemed to know Bai Tian's intentions, and it also started to "steal" the monster beasts...
