Comprehension Ability: I Forge a Villainous Longevity Family

Chapter 658: Chapter 491: The Suitable Is the Best_2

"Your teacher is right."

"So you finally admit you’re a fraud?"

"But not entirely right; at least you haven’t fully learned what your teacher taught you."

Chen Zhixing glanced at Bai Yu with a hint of disdain: "Things are constant, but needs differ. When your teacher was teaching you this, they must have also instructed you to be flexible and adaptable. But all these words, you seem to have ingested like food and then excreted them, haven’t you?"

"Stop talking nonsense!" Bai Yu’s eyes shone with ferocity, extremely fierce!

"As I said before, Sos’s goal is to rebuild the Cosmic World, but the process is bound to be extremely long and fraught with waves due to human nature. There will always be people who don’t want to suffer and only want to enjoy, and these individuals are in conflict with Sos’s ultimate goal and need to be dealt with."

"So, after saying all this, you mean to suggest that we offer Sos to deal with these people and then ask for a reward from him?"

"If you don’t use your brain, you could donate it to those who wish they had one."

"Chen Zhixing! I’ve tolerated you for so long!!!"

"Alright, I overestimated your intelligence." Dodging Bai Yu’s swinging fist, Chen Zhixing chuckled lightly: "As long as Sos himself desires it, he can deal with these people because the Watcher Organization he controls is the largest force in the Cosmic Realm. This force can even capture a Celestial Fox at the Longevity Realm. I don’t think we can offer much military help to him."

"Then what? What’s your purpose?"

"Then, of course, it’s to assist him in reforming, to reduce the number of such individuals in the Cosmic Realm, thereby speeding up the repair of the Cosmic Realm he envisions."

"Reform? In the current state of the Cosmic Realm, how could it possibly be reformed! This goes against human nature, okay! Even his violent brainwashing methods can’t be completely eradicated; similar sea disasters will still occur. What good methods can you or I have?"

"As expected, you still owe your teacher an apology."

"Chen! Zhi! Xing!!!"

"Of course, it’s about the system, changing the system of the Cosmic Realm, changing the system within the Watchers. You must understand that the reason the Cosmic Realm operates as it does today is entirely due to Sos forcibly bending it into its current state. But the human heart is not a toy; no matter how strong external forces are, there will always be resistance. If we truly want to change this situation, the most efficient way is naturally to change this system to make it suitable."

"Speak in human terms."

"Make the matter of repairing the Cosmic Realm beneficial for everyone, rather than just being Sos forcibly requiring everyone to fulfill his singular dream."

"How is that possible! This matter itself holds no benefit! Even if there were benefits, they would be for future generations! For those involved, it’s purely a form of torment! Where will you find so much interest to offer Sos?!"

"Of course, it would have to come from Sos himself."

"Huh?"

"Don’t get it twisted, Sos is a deity; in our terms, he could even be considered part of the world’s Heavenly Dao. Any power, status, or other similar chaotic things are useless to him."

"So, you’re saying you want to divide his power and distribute it to those who listen to him?"

"Sigh...."

"What? What’s with that look? Do I look stupid to you?!"

"At least you have some self-awareness."

"Ahhhh, I’ll beat you to death!"

Bai Yu directly swung her fist!

Dodging Bai Yu’s attack once more, Chen Zhixing lazily addressed Bai Yu: "The system, put frankly, is class hierarchy. In the Celestial Profound Realm, the class hierarchy is with the Three Great Sacred Lands as the first tier, the Noble Families as the second, smaller Sects as the third, Loose Cultivators as the fourth, and ordinary people as the fifth tier.

So, what about the Cosmic Realm?"

"Are you saying you want to implement a class system in the Cosmic Realm?"

"Why not?"

Bai Yu:"..."

At this moment, Bai Yu looked at Chen Zhixing as if he were garbage.

Chen Zhixing chuckled lightly and shook his head at her reaction.

"Don’t overthink it. Do you really think there isn’t a class system in the current Cosmic Realm? It’s impossible. As long as there is social attribute, class existence is inevitable, only divided into implicit and explicit."

"Don’t talk to me; you’re already tainted!"

"Are you sure you don’t want to hear it?"

"....Speak!"

"Heh."

Shaking his head with a smile once more, Chen Zhixing said blandly: "The Cosmic Realm surely had a class system before. At least from the situations we’ve encountered, the kind of strong-arm brainwashing all-cut method used by Sos now wasn’t implemented from the start. It was just because that old set of rules was too inefficient for Sos, and he wasn’t willing to put forth too much effort to correct these, so probably, there were predecessors like us who gave Sos the current all-cut rule method, resulting in the Cosmic Realm becoming what it is today. What we need to do now is to create a new set of rules that better fit the Cosmic Realm than the current ones to give him."

"What kind of rules?"

"Slavery!"

"What the hell???"

On hearing the word ’slavery,’ Bai Yu was dumbfounded: "Slavery? Are you serious? Are you sure a system that should be ground into the sediment of history should be brought up by you???"

"The new isn’t always better, no matter what system it is, the best system is the one that fits, and in the situation of the Cosmic Realm.... I’m sorry, but I feel that slavery is very suitable."

At this point, Chen Zhixing paused, then continued with a somewhat self-mocking tone: "Of course, what I mentioned is a slave-fiefdom system, not that kind of unchangeable eternal system, but one that can evolve on its own, with strong vitality and movement capabilities, and most importantly, a system that can best help Sos achieve his goals."

"What kind of system are you talking about? How could such a system exist? I’ve never heard of it!"

"You must have heard of it, but you didn’t take it seriously."

"Hmm?"

"In some story books, there are always organizations that are either righteous or evil, these organizations master Artifact Refining techniques and have massive populations. Then based on these, they recruit a large number of strong individuals, granting them noble titles, and then let these strong individuals fight for them, using resources obtained from outside to exchange with the organization for population and weapons."

Bai Yu:"..."

Yes, she’s seen plenty of such cliché plots.

Though she finds it to be absurd and not in line with her aesthetic requirements for stories, nor does it conform to normal logic, the sheer number of such stories is overwhelming, making it hard not to come across them.

"In reality, this system has a multitude of shortcomings, for instance, if someone’s forces are too weak, they can’t seize anything, leading to losses, eventually impoverishing those below them... or the forces they cultivate are too strong, ultimately turning against the original forces’ owner... and some individuals reach a certain level and choose to separate and start anew themselves, there are many drawbacks, any normal person wouldn’t play such a nearly certain losing game."

Chen Zhixing nonchalantly belittled the system he just proposed in various ways, but then he laughed again.

"But these shortcomings don’t apply to Sos; he doesn’t mind if those under him can’t seize good items. As long as it’s material, even if it’s dirt, he wants it.

The forces become too powerful, turning against him... He is a Heavenly Tao Avatar, aiming to repair the Cosmic Realm. What’s this talk of turning against him and so on? If anyone can do better than him, he’d likely be delighted to step down and yield the position.

And as for the last point, starting anew...well, considering that he even engages in trade with us, pure outsiders with hostile intentions, do you think he’ll care if the forces under him start anew?"

"So, because of this, you just mentioned a slave-fiefdom system?"

"Yes, slaves, war slaves, soldiers, officers, nobles, lords... as long as this setup can be maintained for a few generations, then even if the lower levels succeed in rebelling, they’ll only end up becoming new lords; as long as Sos provides a slight guidance, they will still be his trading partners...."
