From the perspective of talent, those individuals with extraordinary abilities in ancient times were actually much more powerful than modern people under the influence of the extraordinary power in their blood!
The closer we get to the ancient times, the more various kinds of alien species there are
¡°Many people¡¯s extraordinary bloodline is too strong, and it will even be directly reflected in their bodies
Just like in the story of Fengshen Yanyi, there are many people who are born with different species, such as the third eye of Taishi Wen in the Shang Dynasty, and Fei Lian Eilai under King Zhou. Belongs to the category of natural heterogeneity
The reason why they have such characteristics that are different from ordinary people is actually because the extraordinary blood in their bodies is too strong, so it can be displayed on the body
Evil Lai's appearance is very ugly, so ugly that it is almost difficult to recognize that he is human. However, he is very brave and can be said to be a powerful being. Fei Lian is the father of Evil Lai. He is also extremely brave and can run as fast as a galloping horse
??And in a sense, being ugly in appearance is precisely a manifestation of their extraordinary abilities that ordinary people do not have
In fact, whether in the eyes of ancient people or modern people, their definitions of beauty and ugliness are actually based on human beings' own aesthetics, and the ugliness that most people perceive is usually manifested in The images are all very unified!
That is, similar to an ape!
Yes, ape!
As the form before human evolution, apes have many similarities with humans. Whether it is habits or lifestyles, in fact, humans and apes are relatively similar, but only Aesthetics is an exception!
For most people, the appearance of almost all apes is relatively ferocious and ugly. If you have to define ugliness, it is nothing more than a sharp mouth, monkey cheeks, or a so-called hairy face. Thunder mouth, and isn't this image actually the facial feature of a classic monkey?
In fact, in a sense, if a person looks like an ape, it is actually a typical state of atavism. In fact, the fundamental reason why atavism occurs is that the blood comes from the ancestors. The relationship between genes is too strong
Compared with humans, apes or ape-men naturally have stronger bodies and strength than humans. In fact, from a natural perspective, animals living in the wild must have the highest physical fitness. Much better than humans, in fact, in the process of human evolution, the wild instincts of humans are actually constantly degenerating, and on the contrary, wisdom and rationality are gradually occupying the human brain
To put it simply, with the evolution of human beings, although human beings have become more and more intelligent, but purely in terms of physical quality, there is no comparison with people in the past
By the same token, although people in the past had far better physical fitness than people today, they were far inferior to the ancestors of mankind
The process of evolution has always had pros and cons. When the mind is strengthened, the physical fitness will naturally be weakened. This is the law of nature
The evolution of any kind of life is essentially to abandon the characteristics that it does not need, and then strengthen the characteristics that it needs. Along with the long process of one generation after another, it will eventually produce essential changes!
The same is true for the evolution of humans. In the beginning, humans, like other animals, had strong physical talents and strong survival abilities in the wild. However, when humans gradually began to use tools and gradually began to build their own civilization, evolution There has naturally been a directional change. The direction of human evolution is no longer to make their bodies stronger and stronger like animals, but to gradually develop in the direction of becoming more and more thinking and intelligent!
And in this process, as humans gradually acquired their own civilization and tools that were sufficient to protect themselves, all their powerful bodies that were originally used for hunting gradually degraded, from the original strong and burly body structure to gradually becoming It became well-proportioned and flexible, and the thick limbs originally used for hunting also gradually became slender in the process
This is the so-called natural selection!
No matter what kind of creatures they are, their evolution will always change due to the environment in which they live!
What kind of environment they are in, they will naturally evolve what kind of abilities they have. When the environment is dangerous, evolution will be biased towards physical strength, and when the environment is comfortable, evolution will be biased towards physical strength. AtThe power of the mind!
Just like cockroaches, the fundamental reason why they can survive on the earth for a long time is because their living environment has actually been very dangerous. That is why they are very difficult to kill. Their unique characteristics and body structure allow them to survive in a variety of very harsh environments, and their strong reproductive capabilities make it difficult for this animal to be truly eradicated!
In fact, this is the so-called way of survival and evolution!
Evolution is not simply strengthening, but more of an adaptation to the living environment
And the evolution of human beings is actually the transformation of physical fitness into mental thinking
However, is wisdom really superior to force?
The answer is of course no!
In a peaceful era, wisdom is of course more important than force in a pure sense. This is why in most dynasties, civilian officials can always be superior to military officers, let alone officials of the same grade. Well, even if a military attach¨¦ is of a higher rank than a civilian official, in terms of status, he is often much higher than a civilian official
This is what is called the noble man and the lowly man
The reason is simple. In peaceful times without war, civilian officials are often the ones who truly hold power. They control people's livelihood, control policies, and control resources. However, in peaceful times, the presence of generals is not It will become very low, and soldiers are also a very disrespected group
In fact, not to mention the ancient times, even in modern society, the political status of soldiers is still lower than that of government officials. Most of the officers who retire from the army will be demoted if they are assigned to local areas. , this is also part of the practice
In a peaceful era, soldiers will not have a high status after all
However, if it is in troubled times, the situation will become completely opposite. In troubled times, the warlords who control the army are the true rulers
However, in human history, peace will eventually last for a relatively longer period of time. That is why, in the process of evolution of all human beings, wisdom has always been more dominant
However, this does not mean that force is useless!
Personal bravery, no matter what era it is in, is actually a very rare quality!
There is an old saying that it is easy to get a thousand troops but hard to find a general. This is the truth!
Personal courage and force are usually very significant in improving the combat effectiveness of an army!
In the army, whether in the past or now, soldiers' obedience to generals is usually based on the fact that generals are stronger than soldiers. In ancient times, the strength of generals was reflected in their command ability and martial arts. In modern times, it is reflected in the commander's own command ability and military skills
The army is always a place that worships the strong. Only the strong can be recognized and admired by soldiers
Especially in the era of cold weapons, a general with a combat power that far exceeds that of ordinary soldiers can usually play a role in determining victory or defeat on the battlefield!
Especially the one-on-one duel between generals before the battle begins, it is often one of the fundamental factors that determine the success or failure of a battle!
Especially those generals who have ten thousand enemies, their influence on a battle is basically absolute, just like the scenes in the Dynasty Warriors series of games, if a general can always kill the enemy, if he can always kill the enemy, It is a camp that can break through places, so the psychological blow to the opponent will undoubtedly be very, very huge
In fact, looking at various historical books, any strong man with great power always has some characteristics that are more or less different from ordinary people
For example, although Li Yuanba was born with supernatural powers, he was very thin, had an ugly face, and his intelligence level was lower than ordinary people
In a sense, this is a typical atavistic phenomenon
The so-called atavism is, in essence, a phenomenon of reverse evolution!
The evolution of human beings usually involves improving one¡¯s thinking ability and wisdom at the expense of physical decline
"The so-called atavism is the opposite process of evolution. It reduces one's intelligence and greatly strengthens one's physical fitness, making one closer to the state of human ancestors
Wisdom and thinking ability are reduced, but physical fitness and strength are also improved at the same time. This is a kind ofCloser to the state of a beast
No matter what era you are in, smart people will always have their place
However, by the same token, if an individual¡¯s force exceeds the limit, it is actually very terrifying!
It¡¯s like the existence of Li Yuanba. With his own personal bravery, he almost single-handedly subdued all the anti-kings in the world at that time!
Even on a battlefield where flesh and blood are everywhere, Li Yuanba is invincible!
However, even the ancient King Xiang Yu, or the rebirth of Li Yuanba, cannot be compared with the modern extraordinary people in these fields!
Although in modern society, many awakened people who have awakened extraordinary abilities cannot be compared with those awakened people in ancient times in terms of bloodline abilities and talents, their research and understanding of the extraordinary power in their bloodline are far more advanced than those in ancient times. Ancient people were much more profound!
It is because of this that all modern awakened people can gradually tap into their own powerful potential and gradually make themselves strong in the true sense, rather than just lucky ones relying solely on talent!
For the awakened ones who have reached the domain level, they have actually understood their own power in a true sense, and have incorporated the rules into their own power system. For such strong people, their original bloodline talents are of great significance to them. To them, it actually doesn¡¯t matter anymore!
Because their understanding of extraordinary power itself has exceeded the level of bloodline talent!
To put it simply, for them, the extraordinary ability hidden in their bloodline is just a seed for the growth of their power. And when the seed truly grows and germinates, this seed will be meaningless, because they themselves It has grown into a towering tree and can sow a large number of seeds at will
For saplings, seeds are the foundation of their existence. The more seeds, the more saplings are likely to survive
For big trees, seeds are not that important, nor are they so rare
¡°In the final analysis, the bloodline talent of the awakened ones is just a stepping stone for them to become strong
Only those with bloodline talents are qualified to become an awakened person, but whether they can eventually become a strong person still depends on their own efforts
And for those who have truly become strong, the past is no longer important!
This is the truth behind the so-called good man, don¡¯t ask where he comes from!
There will always be various talents in society. When these talents show their talents and are recognized, they have actually achieved success. At this time, if we try to uncover the background of these people, it is actually There is no meaning anymore. Fraudulent resumes and falsified academic qualifications are actually meaningless things for successful people
Because people have recognized their talents and abilities, by this time, whether they have academic qualifications or resume, in fact, in a sense, it is no longer important!
To give a very simple example
There was a case that caused a sensation in the society. It was said that a girl's college entrance examination results were changed by the father of another girl, so the two people's lives were changed. The girl who was admitted to college finally became a teacher, and because of the change And those who lose the opportunity to study will eventually have to endure the malicious looks of others and begin to struggle hard for their own lives
A few years later, the life trajectories of the two have completely different developments
¡°In a sense, the result of being dropped completely changed the fate of two people
But from another perspective, a student who gets admitted to college through grade transfer can eventually become a teacher. From a purely results perspective, this girl is indeed able to graduate from college and engage in the teaching profession. capable¡¡
Even during the college entrance examination, she was not supposed to have such qualifications, but in fact, she did achieve this!
At this time, it is meaningless to discuss whether her academic qualifications are genuine or whether they were obtained through illegal means, because she already has such abilities
Of course, from a moral perspective, after the matter is exposed, the girl will definitely be deprived of the corresponding qualifications and dismissed from the school, but in fact, this does not affect the fact that this girl has the qualifications to be a teacher. Professional ability
Simply put, for this girl, the college entrance examination, is just a springboard. She is not qualified to enter university, but with the help of the package swap incident, she got the opportunity to study, and she really seized this opportunity and changed her destiny. After her fate was changed, how it was changed actually became less important
