The Contrarian Dao is naturally suited to internet propagation. If it can flourish on the Lingjing network, why not the real-world Star Network?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It used real-world followers of the \"Pollen Sect\" to spread its doctrine into the real world, allowing the Contrarian spirit and Contrarian Dao to spread from the Lingjing network onto the Star Network.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wherever there are contrarians, there is our soil!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Pollen Sect disciples, follow me on a grand journey to transform falsehood into truth!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Contrarian Dao naturally possessed immense infectiousness—every doubt, every argument, became fertile ground for its growth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The pepper tree used this to infect one netizen after another, gaining one fervent believer after another.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you think what you call reality is truly real?
