Forty Millenniums of Cultivation
Chapter 2493 Reasons to Erase Emotions
“Flooding and famine? Hung Chao casts the end of Pangu and Lady Civilization and creates the humane rise of today's 3,000 world, fixing the face of the real world? ”
Li Yao shrugged for a long time. Looking at Longyang's tightly held lips and almost raised eyebrows, she knew she wouldn't be arrogant. "What makes you think that? ”
“Boss Bai said that the ‘flood tide' was the ultimate catastrophe on the other side of the great universe, and although it destroyed thousands of civilizations, including magical civilizations, it had not yet reached the 3,000 world in which we live, or that, because of the existence of a high and thick ‘black wall' outside our world, even the 'flood tide' could not be invaded - but I disagreed. ”
Longyangjun watched the black waves ahead rise and fall, muttering, "To date, we have clearly known that at least two extraterritorial civilizations have crossed the ‘black wall' and come to our 3,000 world. The first is the magical civilization, and the second is the bloodline tribe that you discovered on Iron Plains and eventually parasitized on you, let alone the ‘bloodline civilization’. Okay.
“Among them, magical civilization has developed to an extremely prosperous and developed extent, relying on highly skilled starships and some sort of 'GHOST’ guidance similar to artificial intelligence or super wreck aggregates, crossing the black wall with extremely sophisticated technology.
“Bloodstained civilizations, on the contrary, have abandoned all extrinsic, advanced and civilized forms to 'degrade' themselves into the simplest, most basic and most primitive forms, like bacteria and even viruses, riding meteorites, using hundreds of millions of years, in the simplest crude and even silliest ways, hard-boiled through almost limitless black walls.
“Look, neither the most advanced magical civilization nor the most primitive blood-stained civilization can cross the black wall with their own means, and there are so many days of robbery in ancient times, certainly from different stars and even different dimensions of different civilizations, which means that the black wall is by no means insurmountable, even - it has been infiltrated with sores!
“Since magical civilization can penetrate and bloodstained civilization can penetrate, why can't we cross the black wall if so many days of robbery strikes can penetrate and enough to destroy their 'flood tide’?
“Ultimately, the so-called 'black wall' is not mysterious, it is just a vast void surrounding our 3,000 world, it is just that there are no stars, planets and spiritual energy fluctuations, whether technology is advanced, fast enough, stored enough, or consumed enough resources to cross it in a million, ten million or even more years? ”
Li Yao nodded slowly, so-called "Heavenly Robbery Strike” already existed, which of course was some kind of destruction or blockade imposed by powerful civilizations from outside the territory.
Taller, thicker, safer copper walls will never stop the hearted - that's the truth.
“I admit that the 'black wall' may not be able to block the 'flood tide’," said Li Yao, "but at least now, our world already exists in many ways and in many colors. What do you mean by 'flood tide' and ‘flood plague'? ”
“This is just my guess, or I came up with a ‘hypothesis' that would answer a question that I have long been confused about, a critical question about floods. ”
Longyang Junduo, "That is, why did the Alliance of Pan Gu Civilizations agree to seal its own desires, suppress its strong will, and change from an absolutely free star and sea superior to a rules-based, frosty walker?
“You should know that the various races in the Alliance of Civilizations in the beginning, whether Pangu or co-workers, whether praiseworthy or backward, or even the 'little sister' of the Alliance in the end, were flesh and blood, with love and hatred, with strong desire and will?
“Only at a time when we do not know, the Alliance of Pan Ancient Civilizations has made a unanimous decision to seal our emotions, suppress our will and turn ourselves into something similar to puppets and machines.
“They even have a strong fear and exclusion of emotion and will, which they call chaos, demonic heads and the most wicked and horrible things that destroy their civilization.
“The question I can't figure out all the time is, why, why would they do that? ”
“Didn't you already have an answer to that question? ”
Li Yao spoke out, “Because the resources of the 3,000 world are not enough, and they can't get out! After countless wars, the thirteen advanced carbon-based lives that formed the Alliance of Civilizations found that they could not destroy each other and would only end together, so they abandoned war, contacted and integrated each other, formed an alliance together and allocated resources in a peaceful and efficient manner.
“And even the Alliance of Pan Gu Civilizations, without war, faces demographic explosions, scarcity of resources, etc. If people do not try to converge their emotions and desires, resources will sooner or later be depleted - not to mention, with emotions and desires, they will be easily provoked by conspirators and ambitious men of other intentions to start new wars.
“One more war with the technical and destructive power of the Alliance of Civilizations, and all civilizations are doomed!
“Afterwards, the facts did confirm this concern, and then a new war really broke out, and the thirteen flood races forming the alliance, all of which are really over, only their servants and machines - humanity - survived! ”
“Yeah, that's the standard answer, and all the experts in the history of flooding have always thought so, but don't you think that's too simple, crude and hasty? ”
Long Yangjun looked at Li Yao, his eyes fluctuated, “This preconceived view, from the point of view of human beings wearing colored glasses, is the answer - you have always regarded the famine race as some kind of… high, unbelievable, and unremarkable existence, as if, as long as the leader of a Pangu people gives the order, everyone from top to bottom will not hesitate to give up their emotions and will.
“Is it possible?
“Ask yourself, if you really think of the Pankos as people with flesh and blood, as people with seven desires, as people who love hate each other, as people who live and are ordinary, do you think it's possible to make people feel relaxed, clean, without remorse, give up their emotions and will? ”
Li Yao remained silent for a while. "However, the Alliance of Pan Gu Civilizations was trapped in the 3,000 world by the 'Black Wall’. They could not get out, which is why they gave up their emotions and desires to reduce resource consumption...”
“This argument is far from sufficient. ”
Longyang King shook his head, “Any civilization found itself trapped somewhere, the first choice must be to drill out, escape, break out anyway, right?
“You know, the Alliance of Pan Gu Civilizations has mastered the technology to harvest star energy with super efficiency, and even if it's a little less than magical civilization, where can it go? Magical and bloodstained civilizations can cross the black wall, and even if they can't do it, what's the difference? Is it true that total despair, cold hearts and minds have completely abandoned the idea of ‘breaking through the black wall’ and instead deprived everyone of their emotions, desires and will - to such a degree of darkness and despair?
“You have to understand that even if feelings, desires and will are reduced to near zero, the Pankos and Ladies as individuals will still consume resources, and as long as they cannot cross the black wall, the resources of the 3,000 world will one day be exhausted.
“In other words, the practice of 'erasing emotions', which only slightly delayed the advent of 'eventual depletion', fundamentally cut off the hope for the long-term survival and prosperity of the Alliance of Pangu Civilizations, which effectively sealed itself off, frozen and solidified itself from the moment of erasing emotions and will.
“Without the drive of ambition, without the curiosity of the unknown, without the infinite flashes of intricate emotions, civilization can never evolve —— the simple truth, you know, I get it, the leaders of the Alliance of Civilizations of yesterday, the wisest leaders, will they not understand?
“The question is, why do wise leaders insist on doing this when they know that killing feelings and will is a chronic suicide for a civilization? And this seemingly dehumanizing practice has not provoked massive unrest and opposition among the population, why?
“The resistance of the Lady Dynasty is a later matter. It was only after being bewitched by extraterritorial celestial demons that the importance of emotion and will was awakened. In other words, even the Lady Dynasty favoured ‘deprivation of emotion and will' in the beginning, which makes no sense at all! ”
Li Yao fell into a deep thought: “It seems... doesn't make much sense. ”
“It simply doesn't make sense that even Pangu leaders who are wiser, stronger, more prestigious and more appealing won't be able to persuade people to erase their emotions. ”
Longyang Junduo, "For example, your ‘Supreme of the Three Kingdoms, Father of the Federation' has a big face in the Federation. If you run back to the Federation now and say to the people, 'Because our universe is closed, resources are limited, in order to prevent us from having too much fun and running out of resources, so please seal your feelings with me and erase your will', guess how many people will respond? ”
“Well, I guess I'll be drowned by stinky eggs and rotten tomatoes the first time? ”
Li Yao said, "In other words, how could I have such a stupid suggestion? Our universe is closed, so find a way to open it, drill through it, and pierce it! Resources are limited, then find ways to create or go outside and plunder more resources! It is because of emotions and will that we call it 'civilization'. Otherwise, it is just a collection of walking corpses. What is it called 'civilization’? ”
“Exactly. That's what normal human instincts think. Even you think that. Why would the leader of the Alliance of Civilizations make an exception? ”
Longyang Junduo, “Even if one leader goes mad and has to be so dehumanized, why doesn't the other leader stop him, and all the people are willing to obey him and give up their emotions and will?
“In summary, the simple reason that 'our universe is closed and no one can get out, so we must conserve resources' is by no means enough to put the Alliance of Pan Gu Civilizations at heart and do such a heartbreaking thing. There must still be stronger, more direct and more deadly reasons to force them to renounce their emotions and desires, or even to renounce their ambitions to 'break through the black wall and explore beyond the realm'! ”
