Chapter 1686: Chapter 427: Observer Perspective_3

In comparison, the Star Network will choose the optimal path among millions of known routes, while Ah Le will forge the first path that doesn’t exist.

Yet, most of the time, their positioning is the same.

Only in life-and-death choices or crucial decisions about the civilization’s future development will their thoughts lead to completely different choices.

Thus, both existing cases have proven that the Bright Monarch System under a dictatorship mode can give a race enormous potential for development.

As for the diversified parliamentary system, it’s not unfeasible.

Theoretically, an assembly of Wisdom can also endow a race with enormous potential for development.

But the fatal weakness is clear.

It entrusts the future to "consensus," a potentially mundane product.

Because the essence of parliamentary systems is that, beyond the parliament itself, ordinary citizens also possess some degree of power.

This will inevitably affect the unity in the development of civilization.

The truth is, the truth is in the hands of a minority, but under a parliamentary system, any ground-breaking foresight must pass through the majority’s approval.

The essence of diversification is the dilution of power.

When every voice has veto power, civilization can only passively crawl forward on the most conservative path.

Any decision requiring sacrificing the present for future gain will miscarry amidst endless haggling.

Iterations in decision-making are not influenced by lifespan but are primarily trapped in the contemporary interest structure.

Every significant decision must go through layers of negotiation, with too many chips in play—not just interests, but even individual preferences within civilization.

Plans needing to sacrifice one generation’s happiness for long-term civilizational leap are destined to perish.

In contrast, the Bright Monarch System does not have this concern.

For instance, Ah Le once sacrificed a generation of Jile Clan members, thereby initiating the golden era of elite Jile Clan.

Perhaps this mode is no longer fitting for the current age, but at that time it was the optimal solution for the Jile Clan.

This decision, the Lord of Jile wanted to implement without any influence from the clan members.

This is something the parliamentary system finds hard to achieve.

If public opinion is not met, replacements occur; the future of civilization is, in essence, mortgaged to current public opinion.

On the scale of Monster World, civilizations trapped by short-term interests find it challenging to accomplish epoch-shifting feats.

The "checks and balances" that a parliamentary system prides itself on are essentially to limit the power of commanders, emperors, and other rulers.

It gradually evolves into mutual restraints, eventually consuming civilization’s essence in the game of power.

In the survival competition of Monster World, a parliamentary system is like breaking a ship’s wheel into countless pieces and having all passengers vote on its direction.

Whereas, in the Bright Monarch System, the best captain alone steers the course.

Comparison shows clearly that the Bright Monarch System is more fitting for the predator-prey environment of Monster World.

This aspect can also be glimpsed from the development mode change of the Spirit Breath Clan.

The "Eight Kings Rule Together" mode of the Spirit Breath Clan encompasses both dictatorship and parliamentary system.

At its establishment, considerations for power balance were made.

Although citizens cannot oust the Eight Kings, the Eight Kings are absolute rulers, but they do not have absolute power, being checked by other thrones.

The eight kings each lead a branch of the clan, both cooperating and balancing power within the Supreme Council to prevent any one side from dominating.

Each branch is equipped with armed forces like the Super Beast Legion.

This system demonstrated impressive development efficiency before arriving in Monster World.

However, in Monster World’s survival competition, fatal flaws were exposed.

At every decision point, each king is burdened by dual shackles, needing to consider the overall interest of the Spirit Breath Clan while protecting their branch’s rights.

Different branches hope their thrones can secure more benefits for them.

This greatly affected the efficiency of decision execution.

Commander clearly saw the deadlock in Spirit Breath Clan’s development.

Realizing that as long as the Eight Kings system exists, the Spirit Breath Clan will never escape the quagmire of internal consumption.

Ever needing to weigh pros and cons, even the integration issue of the eight Super Beast Legions needs continuous discussion.

Who’s responsible for breeding, who manages planting, who leads the wars... There are too many internal consumption issues, too complex.

Thus, it made the most decisive choice: taking Seven Kings to the death realm.

Using tragedy for last dignity, using elegy for future inspiration, creating an opportunity to break and establish anew for the Spirit Breath Clan.

Thereby, shackles of power stretching millennium broke.

When Little Mage ascended, no longer constrained by any system.

A true leader able to act for the group’s overall interest was born.

Thus, Spirit Breath Clan’s development was no longer burdened by internal consumption issues.

Little Mage’s decision became the sole direction for Spirit Breath Clan members, no need for internal concessions.

Qi Sheng’s thoughts detached from these cases, gazing into the boundless void beyond the Primordial Altar.

The trajectory of civilization’s rise and fall points to a fundamental question: In what form should civilization persist?

The Moon Eclipse Clan chose absolute rationality, entrusting civilization to the never-erring Star Network.

The Jile Clan, under Ah Le’s guidance, seeks breakthroughs through creation.

The Spirit Breath Clan’s transformation exchanged the blood of the Eight Kings for efficient unity.

Each civilization answers the question of survival in its own way.

In Monster World’s brutal proving ground, perhaps there is never a perfect answer, only the most fitting choice for the current situation.

The genuine answer lies not in a specific system, but in the courage to innovate oneself following environmental changes.

The Spirit Breath Clan’s rebirth proved when a civilization dare break its own shackles, it can rejuvenate.

The Moon Eclipse Clan did similarly, breaking the parliamentary system, adopting Star Network to lead clan development, which is also a governance mode innovation.

As such, adapting to new future, commenced a new civilizational Chapter.

This innovation can also be seen as evolution on a macro level.

Evolution of the flesh lies in the leap of Life Strength, from fragile mortal coil to indestructible Immortal body.

While evolution of civilization lies in continuously breaking through ethnic cognitive boundaries, shattering the self-imposed cages.

The Spirit Breath clan exchanged the Eight Kings’ sacrifice for power unity, this is civilization’s structural evolution.

The Moon Eclipse clan replaced traditional parliament with Star Network, this is civilization’s governance mode evolution.

Under Ah Le’s lead, Jile clan continuously innovated, subverted, this is civilization’s mindset evolution.

Therefore, making choices most adapted to the environment at every historical juncture can effectively propel civilization towards greater heights.

As Qi Sheng immersed in thought about this issue, the voice of Guidance echoed in his mind:

"In fact, behind this rise and fall of myriad civilizations, a timeless coordinate exists always: Source Will."

"All beings changing dance steps on stage to better fit the stage, yet the stage is itself created by Source Will."

"Like for all beings, evolution is a necessity for survival, but for Source Will, existence is eternal."

Qi Sheng was momentarily stunned, then his mouth gently curled:

"Flattering me, right?"

"Hey, I was so subtle yet you still noticed."

No longer paying attention to Guidance nor pondering the issue further, Qi Sheng’s gaze shifted to the Colorful Mist Coast Region.

A mode long anticipated by forum players is being perfected here.
