Forty Millenniums of Cultivation

Li Yaochan, Li Jialing was quite right in saying this.

Before coming to the Real Human Empire, from the perspective of a starlit federal practitioner, it is always easy to misunderstand the sharpest contradictions within the Empire, with the crushing and exploitation of the "original" by the "real person" as the main problem.

After coming to the Empire and witnessing all aspects of social patterns and conflicts of interest, Li Yao realized that those imprisoned in factory pipelines and industrialized spiritual fields, the most typical “ordinary people who are bullied by trained fairies”, were not actually the most tragic.

Yes, these ordinary people do suffer inhumane treatment, but they also tend to have a stable source of food, relatively clean drinking water, safe shelter and even a meagre salary, and fairy fixers can extract more residual value from them in order to increase their motivation to work, and even provide them with a certain amount of spiritual food - for example, Wu Ying's "Kill Live", which is an anesthetic specifically targeted at these working classes, so as to give them psychological pleasure.

The so-called "pacifist dog rather than desertion”, in an area where the imperial authorities are able and willing to exercise effective rule, will still provide a minimum of public services, infrastructure, maintain the orderly functioning of society, and in theory, there are laws that protect the legitimate interests of the vast majority of people - even if the law of the thorax is often broken through by the immortal hall, finally more than nothing.

After all, the government of the immortals is also the government, not the banditry.

Under 10,000 metres below the ground, these numbers are "forgotten towns” after the 10,000, where the inhabitants are not even eligible to be enslaved and squeezed, in other words, "forced to be slaves”, and naturally, the imperial authorities will not provide a star and a half point of public service to this place at all, leaving them totally at liberty to self-destruct.

Such a dark and silent world with no sunshine, very little clean drinking water, very little food, hundreds of times more devastating earthquakes than the ground, occasionally collapsing and even devastating lava spraying thin - Lee Yew doesn't know whose life is worse, those slave labourers who have bent down behind the current line of the Pharaoh factory for a lifetime, or these underground abandoned people who have been forgotten by the entire universe?

In the metaphor that Longyang Jun said to Li Jialing, he mentioned the sea. Indeed, the abandoned world is like a deep sea plain - no matter how intense the terror waves on the sea surface and how vicious the giant beasts are in comparison, it will not affect the slightest bit of seabed mud sand. In the eyes of those ocean masters, these little fish shrimps struggling to survive in the seabed mud sand simply do not exist.

However, Li Yao can also understand why Longyang Jun brought him and Li Jialing here. Now that the layout of Black Star Emperor Wu Yingqi has been activated, it is highly likely to control the entire polar realm of heaven and celestial stars. No matter which city they hide in, it is difficult to escape to lay heaven and earth, everywhere crystal eyes monitoring and locking.

Even the vast majority of towns deep beneath the ground fall within the reluctant control of the authorities and are equipped with a large number of lenses and connected to the Wireless Wireless Wireless Network, as long as they leave a blurred figure in one lens eye, it is possible to provoke large numbers of recruits.

Only the cities of oblivion numbered after 10,000, without the presence of spiritual nets and crystalline eyes, do not go into the eyes of the upper fairy cultivators at all, are the "sources of the world" from which they can heal their wounds and rest in peace.

Li Yao and Li Jialing come from a world of sunshine, the shape is slightly different from that of the near-transparent people underground. Their idle courtyard footsteps in the town attracted the attention of a large number of underground people.

However, the vast majority of the underground people dared to hide behind shoots and mushrooms, wrapped themselves tightly and firmly in fog, measured them carefully and did not dare to come into contact with them at all.

Where their gaze falls, people beneath their necks shrink into the mist.

Only naive and rotten children dared to stare at them without turning a blind eye. Seeing that they were not malicious or dangerous, several of the boldest children finally followed them, turned into a small tail and swayed to learn how to walk.

Li Yao turned around and dressed up as a ghost face for these children. The children shouted first and broke apart. After a while, he saw that Li Yao had no other action, and came back together. He also learned to dress up as a ghost face like Li Yao. He also screamed strangely: “Black eyes! Yellow eyes! ”

Children born beneath the ground have never seen real sunshine, even the illuminator array above their heads, due to lack of energy, can only be adjusted to the darkest degree, barely illuminate the interlaced iron wire between the shoots and the milk of the clock, and the brightest thing children have ever seen in their lives, perhaps, is rolling magma.

Over the tens of thousands of years, their eyes have also mutated. At the same time, their pupils are slightly reddish. Li Yao's black eyes and Li Jialing's yellow-brown eyes have become different.

The children's silver bell-like laughter attracted the attention of adults, and suddenly reached out several hands in the fog, dragged the children back and covered the laughter in a pair of rough hands.

Li Yao frowned slightly, weak spirits could haunt his eyes, sharp eyes penetrated the mist, and those who thought they were hiding perfectly in the ground could be seen clearly.

He found a very strange phenomenon - as the underground grew older, their ability to express their emotions seemed weaker.

Those naive, carefree children will cry, laugh, make noise, freely express their emotions and feelings.

But tall adults, always eyebrows locked, slight light of vigilance and fear in their eyes, always looking for a stone seam to hide themselves in, it seems that Li Yao and Li Jialing came, disturbing the heavy air here, making them extremely uncomfortable.

The older, wrinkled, face-filled underground old man, but even the slightest light in the deep of his eyes disappeared, like a statue carved out of a bell milk, squatting next to a stalagmite for a long time, as if it were merging with the underground world.

Li Yao also saw some people in grey cloaks, looking like the girl who had just fed them, both peaceful and empty, sitting at will in various parts of the underground town, or sitting or lying down, breathing extremely weakly, as if entering a strange hibernation.

Li Yao closed his eyes and asked in silence: "Everyone here has been brainwashed by Longyang King, and their emotions and desires have been washed away? ”

He thought the truth must have been like this, but Li Jialing hesitated for a moment and shook his head: “I asked Sister Long once, but she said no, the people here are like this dead and depressed, ancient well waveless.

“Sister Long said that the so-called strong emotions and desires are based on a rich material base and a developed information exchange network, which is called 'warmth thinking * *', can't even eat enough food, can't guarantee basic survival safety, hungry and fearful every day, which is no time to worry about ‘emotions’, ‘desires’ and ‘free will’.

“Sister Long said that our modern people live in a highly developed post-industrial society and information age, where 10,000 foods can be found everywhere to stimulate our appetite, 10,000 ways of entertaining to stimulate our strong emotions, so that our desires and emotions are inspired to the limit, and over time, we take such a high degree of desire and emotion for granted.

“But in many worlds of extreme material deprivation, such as the ancient world and the underground world in front of us, where food deprivation is the norm, where security is not guaranteed in any way, and where there are not many forms of entertainment, where the divine world is extremely empty and scarce, how can people here, like people on the ground, generate strong emotions and desires?

“Imagine if a baby was born here, never saw the sun and bird floral scents, never knew what forests and oceans were, not to mention singer movie stars, no novel games and virtual dating platforms, and the only meaning of life was survival and reproduction, and every second was worried about food scarcity, earthquakes and lava streams, and over time, how could it not become numb and indifferent, just like those underground residents in front of us?

“Sister Long said that when she first arrived in the underground world a few years ago, the adult inhabitants here were silent for years like recklessness - because there was nothing else to do in life and there was no one-and-a-half stars of resources to support their superfluous emotions and desires.

“Yes, she has taught these underground people some ways to suppress pain, curb desire, calm the mind, but it is only a boost. If the resources here are abundant enough to be enjoyed in the meatlands with wine ponds, and there are the best netting games to play, idiots will follow her to cultivate the doors of extinction!

“Sister Long also said that not only here, but she estimated that even the territory of the Alliance was in the same condition - there were meat buns, who would eat white buns, white buns, and who would starve? If the territory of the Alliance itself is immensely rich in matter, rich enough to satisfy the emotions and desires of all, who is willing to give up the best things in life? The question is, no! Many of the worlds governed by the Alliance are inherently poor mountain waters, and it is estimated that in the past 10,000 years of chaotic bloodshed, few resources have been consumed. They cannot survive. People have had to give up their emotions and desires and devote all their remaining resources to the only important thing - the continuation of life.

“Sister Long also said--”

“Enough! ”

Li Yao interrupted Li Jialing's rhetoric, “I found your dowry's position very problematic. Why is it ‘said Sister Long' all the time? Even if you don't stand in Yiu's position as my practitioner, at least you are a fairy practitioner, should you support emotion, desire and free will? I've been hanging out with Brother Yao for six months, I haven't seen you learn much. How can you follow Longyang King for only 10 days? She can't find the North? You can't do that, you have to refine it! ”

----------

When I saw the problem, some friends said, "Old Bull, did you write a contradiction? How can you go to the center of the star sea and not even drill through the mantle if you can empty the planets in front of you to refine the supermassive starship?"

The old cow said it wasn't contradictory.

The planetary battleship in front of us is a very small planet like Pluto (of course Pluto now doesn't even count as a serious planet), and the difference in size can be thousands of times smaller! And a "habitable planet," in the old cow's view, at least with a thick atmosphere and a stable solid structure, it can't be much smaller than Earth, it can't be an asteroid like Pluto, can it?

One more thing, refining a planetary warship, didn't say anything about emptying the planet altogether. That's not necessary.

Teacher Liu Zhixin's representative, how did "Stray Earth" do it? Simply put, just put tens of millions of engines on the surface of the Earth, and launch orbital walking. The so-called "planetary warships” are just based on the engines, more turrets, hangars, military bases, etc., these things can be done within the crust range, economically affordable and convenient to fight, there is really no need to empty the entire planet!

In any case, Pangu Daughters or humans are life originating on the surface of the planet, how can they be developed? As long as the flesh and flesh of carbon-based life is still preserved, the mantle layer below tens of thousands of meters below the ground can't always be a comfortable place to live in. In case of necessity, it's really not very possible to completely empty a planet and live in it, right?

Dear readers, what do you say?
