Forty Millenniums of Cultivation

Diffield was stunned and didn't know how to refute it for half a day.

His logic of dilemma has always been unfavourable, but he was dragged to death by Li Yao's frivolous cold joke!

He settled his mind and sorted out his confused thoughts. "Survival is the most important thing if you stay in the green mountains and don't worry about firewood burning! Anyway, what if you survive, even if you become completely faceless, even 'ghosts’ or something? If you live, there is hope of turning the table. A gentleman can get revenge no later than ten years later. If you feel the nerve, lurk your teeth, and bear the burden of humiliation, one day you will be able to beat this tiger to death, and then you will come back, won't you? ”

“No, many mistakes, once made, can never be remedied; many things, once changed, can never come back, even if the 'ghost' can really kill the tiger, can only become the second biggest tiger at most, and can never come back. ”

Li Yao looked down at the red flag and said softly, “Is there always something more important than survival? Again, if you drag your children on a field trip and encounter a lion tiger demon, you have two choices.

“Either you stand in front of the tiger with your teeth dancing claws, yelling, attracting the tiger's attention, or you rush up to fight the tiger very bravely and try to buy time for your children to run first - but they are too young to run, and after you are eaten by the tiger, they will be eaten by the tiger one by one.

“In other words, everything you do is useless, and at best you let your family die with dignity.

“The second option, you abandon your wife and children to run first, and even pick up a pair of children and throw them into the tiger's blood basin. You are an adult, faster, and you have a 1% chance of remaining in the tiger's mouth while the tiger slowly enjoys your children's fine flesh.

“According to the so-called ‘reason’ of your fairy cultivators, nature's second choice ensures that the interests of the entire migration team are maximized. Anyway, everyone is going to die anyway. It makes sense to let their children make small contributions to help you 'stay in the mountains'!

“But you ask yourself, if you make the second choice, can you really delay the time by sending your children to the tiger's mouth?

“Even if after the rest of your tiger's life, you discovered the ruins of the flood, practiced ancient god kung fu, killed 10,000 heads of tigers in the wild, and found more than a hundred beautiful women to give birth to hundreds of children - can it be the same as it was in the past? ”

This time, it's Diffrey's turn to shut up.

Li Yao smiled, “Besides, the chances of Tiger's mouth not being as high as 1% for the rest of his life, you also said that the universe is an infinite dark forest, where there are countless lion tiger demon beasts, snake scorpion demon beasts and all sorts of brutal and atrocious beasts wandering around. Even if you escape the attack of a big tiger with this despicable means, there is a 99% chance that you will soon encounter the other more brutal and horrible monster, right?

“Simply think about it, the entire universe is nearly infinite in terms of time and space, relative to the brief history of humankind and the 3,000 worlds we explore.

“In limitless time and space, countless times will surely be born, far more powerful than we are. We cannot resist, or even imagine, a powerful being. It is not a demon, but a demon that creates a demon, or even a demon that creates a demon!

“For any civilization, eventual destruction is a highly probable event, and the promise of ‘immortality' is immense, close to zero.

“What good is it, then, for you to bow down and change yourselves in an ugly way, to turn yourselves into nothing but ghosts, beasts, cockroaches and locusts, so that you can escape the dark forest and live forever?

“No, in the face of the vast universe, we are like ordinary people in the wilderness facing the lion tiger demon beast, war is death, fleeing is death, screaming at it with his voice, cursing it to death, scared the shit out of us, even sending the flesh and blood to the good or death, since life is ancient who has not died, why not die with a little dignity?

“Tell me you're a true human empire, under the guidance of Fairy Avenue, and make yourselves so ugly, so what, so useful? For a thousand years, not even a small Covenant alliance has been solved, and the country's shipping is in jeopardy!

“Even if you truly win the Covenant Alliance, you may have to face the double invasion of Pangu civilization and extraterritorial celestial demons, even if you turn yourself into a completely different ‘iron cockroach’ from the humans of the past, and even Pangu civilization and extraterritorial celestial demons are defeated by you, and then what?

“The universe is infinite and so are the more powerful forces and beings. There will always be a divine demonic civilization that can't even solve the 'iron cockroach', wiping you out in a derogatory way! ”

Di Feiwen glanced straight and thought for a long time, taking a deep breath: “I thought adults didn't understand the darkness of the universe. It was a big mistake. I didn't expect adults to be more pessimistic than we fix fairies. It was a hole in the darkness of the universe.

“There is also a glimmer of hope that we, the fairies, will survive in this cruel world if we struggle, struggle and follow the laws of the universe to change ourselves.

“I didn't expect that even this meagre hope of adults would be completely denied, losing all desire to survive, just thinking about how to die more fiercely, my subordinates are really... no words to be right. ”

“You're wrong again. ”

Li Yao smiled and revealed Snow White's teeth. “Of course, we who fix it can see the darkness of the universe, but we can see more of the faint light hidden in the darkness. Although the ultimate destruction is a highly probable event, following our path will probably last longer than your Avenue of Immortality! ”

“Oh?”

Diffield's gaze flashed, "Where does the light come from? ”

"" In the past, I was caught in the death of the so-called 'Dark Forest’, "said Li Yao." I find this extremely difficult to decipher. It's really hard for ‘ordinary people' like us to break into the wilderness full of lion tiger demons.

“But when I think of this‘ more dignified 'joke, there is a hint of‘ enlightenment ’.

“Who says we're walking alone in the dark forest, who says we're surrounded by only 'lion tiger demon beasts’? No, the universe is huge, but we're not alone! ”

Diffield closed his eyes: “I don't understand...”

“Simply, the so-called 'lion tiger demon beast' here refers to an interracial civilization that is stronger and more malicious than our human civilization, right? ”

Li Yao excited, “But who stipulates that these interracial civilizations must be full of malice, and must destroy us the Jackal tiger leopard, demon monster?

“Yes, according to the law of weak predators and victors in the dark forests, these interracial civilizations should destroy us or enslave us, strangling one in every hundred million threats.

“But what if they also want ‘to die with dignity’?

“You see, since it is a civilization far more powerful and advanced than ours, its ability to think logically must be much better than ours, then how can these civilizations not even think of ‘no matter how hard it is to escape death, why not just keep what it is and what is most precious, a decent and fierce death’?

“If a highly developed interracial civilization chooses to ‘die with dignity', it may stretch out olive branches of friendship and communication to all sides to indoctrinate, help and guard those weaker civilizations, it will cease to be a lion tiger demon beast and become a teacher and comrade we can trust and fight alongside.

“If only one or two of these civilizations decide to 'die with more dignity’, the stars and seas will soon be devoured by the darkness around them, but if ten, one hundred and one thousand civilizations choose to 'die with more dignity’, choose to communicate with each other and help each other, instead of rubbing against me and devouring each other, perhaps none of us will die, but the darkness will be completely dispersed, making the universe unrivalled? ”

Di Feiwen looked at Li Yao with a "caring for mentally retarded children” look.

Li Yao ignored him and said more and more vigorously: “Human civilization is still too weak to completely burn down the whole 'Dark Forest' on its own, but I will never believe that we are fighting alone, let alone that we are the only civilization in the universe that sees‘ dignity 'as more important than‘ survival ', or that, by my definition, the so-called' civilization 'is to protect something more important than survival!

“Perhaps, where we cannot see it, the dark forest is already burning, and all we have to do is join the ranks of the Arsonists to ignite one of the most critical Mars, so that the fire can spread to an unstoppable extent - who says it can't be?

“But if there really exists such a ‘coalition of arsonists’, a star and sea civilization that wants to die with more dignity, to join this coalition would also require certain conditions, at least I don't think that evolving in the direction of 'iron cockroaches, armed locusts’, like you fairy practitioners, would qualify for membership in this coalition.

“That's what I'm trying to say, no matter how you look at me, I'll go down my path, I'll go down the path of repair, and I'll go all the way to the end, until I break out of the star sea, out of the tiny 3,000 worlds of human civilization, go to the vaster universe, find those ‘arsonists', tell them the dignity and pride of human civilization, tell them that even though our power and technology are far less than theirs, we have a mind as powerful and noble as they are, and when it finally comes to its destruction, we will be equally immune to all the courage, wisdom and will to defend our most precious things, to fight upright and fierce! ”
