Forty Millenniums of Cultivation

“Ah?”

Hunter and Glass lost their voice and said, "Lord Boxer, do you know the truth about the Great Trial? What the hell is going on? ”

Li Yao also said: “Turns out you know so many things, so last night's remark above" The Great Railway City "is kind of half true and half false. Did you hide something? ”

The boxing champion shook his head: “That's true, but not what I'm going to say, but what the real Lei Zongliang is going to say. Just listen to me and you'll see.

“When I opened this dusty underground shelter, I discovered that it was at least centuries old, that all the facilities had been destroyed, and that all the people in it had died for centuries.

“However, they have left behind a large number of Jade Janes, recording their civilization - the history of Wu Ying's civilization from prosperity to decline - as well as the diaries and legacies of many asylum-seekers.

“Towards the end of life and civilization, all are filled with a desire to talk and leave much to be desired. ”

The champion stroked himself for a while and found a glowing light projecting * * * a dim light.

Hundreds of faces emerged in the speckled floating shadow.

Men, women, the elderly, children, laughter, melancholy, painful frowning, in despair, looking for a hint of hope, but ultimately in deep despair...

Hunter and Glass looked at each other obsessively and couldn't help touching the light screen, but it was just a layer of ripples: “Are these our ancestors? ”

“Yes, these are the old Wu Ying people. ”

"The earliest history of this sanctuary dates back more than a thousand years, when the world ‘Wu Ying' at our feet discovered another relatively backward world ‘Sha Yan Realm’, and introduced many young adults from the Sha Yan Realm to solve the problem of labor shortage, who knew that the policy was out of control, the Sha Yan people poured into the Wu Ying Realm like a mountain flood, causing many acute social problems, and triggered a chain reaction, leading to the confrontation between the repairers and ordinary people. ”

“The Realist? ”

Hunter and Glass clamped their fists together, “They really exist! ”

“Now that you know the cultivators, it's a good idea. ”

The boxing champion continued to say calmly, "The situation in Wuyin at the time was chaotic, volatile, the contradiction between Wuyin and Sabayan, the contradiction between the practitioners and ordinary people, and the contradiction between the practitioners due to different ideas, all entwined together, like a fully activated crystal bomb, will blow up at any moment.

“So a handful of people were proactive in building a shelter deep underground, wanting to wait until all the contradictions on the ground were resolved before going out.

“In the centuries that followed, however chaotic the ground may be, the shelter was repeatedly rehabilitated and expanded to accommodate more and more people, and when the 'grand trial' took place, it became the last home of a small group of Wuyins. ”

"'What's going on with the Grand Trial?" said Hunt. ”

“Don't know.”

"Between dizziness turns, people fleeing to shelter are also unclear, and 99% of the information has been destroyed over hundreds of years. From the incomplete information, I can only speculate that the 'Grand Trial' was not a civil war for Wuyin, but involved forces from the sky.

“The people who now call themselves' Heavenly Man ', who built the sky orbit and Manju Savannah, blocking the entire sky of this planet, that is, my creators, should not be descendants of the Wu Ying, but from another group deep in the star sea.

“As for why they created the Grand Trial, which almost destroyed Wu Yingxing, that's not something I can analyze. ”

Hunter and Glass silently create a sense of humiliation that is played and manipulated.

"For the next hundred years, I stayed in an underground shelter and studied the various knowledge and cultures inherited from the Wuyin people of the past, including, of course, their diaries and legacies.

“People in shelters die of food shortages and severe damage to air filtration systems, eventually starving and suffocating, leaving behind plenty of crystals and all kinds of energy.

“I don't need to breathe air, I don't need to eat biological raw materials, I can survive and move as long as I have crystals and energy, and I use the pharmacopoeia in the shelter to constantly update and maintain my body function. ”

“Wait...”

Li Yao Rao asked with interest, "You've been in an underground shelter for a hundred years, can't you escape? ”

“No, it's not. ”

The boxer shook his head, “After finding enough crystal stone and fabric components in the underground shelter, I fixed myself in just three days and found my way back to the ground in a month, but why would I do that? ”

Li Yao thought about it: "Aren't you going to do whatever it takes to become the strongest? ”

“Yes, I do want to be the strongest, but what is really ‘powerful’? ”

"Until then, I always thought that a harder body, a stronger fire, a sharper sword represented a 'mighty', and I was really upgrading myself along this path for the first 50 years.

“But in the final war, in the face of a wave of iron and steel, enough to tear apart the sun's bullet storm, dense and numb as a raw jungle sword and gun, I created new confusion.

“By then, my computational power was quite developed, and I instantly figured out that - with the meagre resources on the planet, no matter how I upgraded myself, it was difficult to evolve to the point where I was invincible, powerful and unparalleled, and my total power could destroy me.

“And I am, indeed, nearly destroyed by this war.

“So, is this really ‘powerful', and has my learning and upgrading been going in the wrong direction?

“I began to think quietly in the dark, and it was at this time that I discovered the essence of Wu Ying civilization a thousand years ago, the diaries and testaments of Wu Ying practitioners and ordinary people, the wrong arguments and reflections about the past, and the different choices they made in the face of despair. ”

Li Yao's Numen were excited: “So you came into contact with the idea of a practitioner? ”

“You could say that. ”

"Those Jade Jane included generations of asylum-seekers for hundreds of years, many people on the ground were needle-sharp opposite each other, hit hard, kill you dead, I live, but when the 'Great Trial’ came, they were slaughtered and destroyed without discrimination, those fortunate enough to escape to the ground had to let go of their contradictions and start reflecting on what they had done over the past hundred years - including even some 'Savages’ as outsiders.

“I am an autonomous learning and upgrading psychic puppet, and 'learning’ is one of my instincts.

“I began to study their diaries and testaments, to study their ideas and spirits, and to discover that the kind of self-proclaimed 'cultivators', as distinct from the ‘sinners of sin', existed.

“The strong protect the weak? All for civilization? Is it not power, but the mind that is truly powerful?

“These theories, which are called 'ridiculous’, really confuse me, especially the last one.

“My logical loop sends an immediate alert, and if the true power is not power, but the mind, then it's terrible - because I have no heart. ”

The voice of the champion is still cold, calm, indifferent, like a lifeless mechanical puppet.

But somehow, Li Yao, Hunt and Glass all heard a slight bitterness from the cold voice.

The boxing champion paused and continued to calm down: “In the past, I was just a man who wanted to be strong, but never thought about the definition of 'strongest', but in this shelter, many people argued from different angles what is really powerful, what the strength of an individual or even a community means for the whole civilization, even if the strength of the whole civilization leads to where… the personal experience of countless low-order practitioners and ordinary people, these powerful opposites, namely, the joy and sorrow of the 'weak', the horror and the great rise and fall, the excitement of the journey of life.

“I was fascinated by these things, and I thought for a hundred years about the definition of ‘mighty’ in the darkness of the ground. ”

Li Yao was excited: “I get it, so although you are an artificial intelligence, you are a kind artificial intelligence, just artificial intelligence, artificial intelligence on the part of the practitioner! ”

“Kindness? Justice?”

The champion shook his head, “Your logical thinking loop is weird. Is that the kind, the kind, the kind, the good, the justice, that we should be thinking about? I don't care at all, nor do I ever feel that the idea of a practitioner is right.

“You know, in that shelter there are not only the cultivators, but also many who stand in opposition to the cultivators, many of whom are still stubborn when they die, and I don't think what they say necessarily makes sense. Perhaps the cultivators are both hypocritical and stupid and are responsible for the destruction of civilization.

“The simplest truth is, if the cultivators truly represent ‘mighty’, how can they be beaten to the face, unable to keep their homes and their loved ones, escape to the ground and eventually die silently? ”

Li Yao stopped talking for a while and couldn't speak for half a day.

"In short, I'm beginning to wonder if the upgrading path of the simple pursuit of power was right in the past, but I'm not entirely embracing the foolish idea of a fixer, just storing all aspects of the story in my database, constantly colliding, condensing and thinking.

“By the way, this underground shelter also has a lot of Wu Ying civilization super magic and Fabao refining technology, I also studied for a hundred years, eventually integrating and upgrading my core brain one by one.

“No one has disturbed my thinking in the darkness of the earth in this hundred years, except for a few occasional radiation mutants, until that day, when a human being fell into the underground world - a true thunderbolt. ”
