Forty Millenniums of Cultivation

Chapter 2495: Confusion Before the End

Long Yangjun's words, Li Yao was not cold and chestnut.

The virtual black tide in front of us is like a universe without stars.

The seemingly dark void is the best colour to protect, because those who roam outside the darkness are a hundred times darker than the dark, unstoppable power...

“Even if you guess--”

Li Yao's voice was like the cold wind blowing out of the ice cave, with a tingling chill, “Seal yourself, you don't have to completely deprive yourself of emotion - play this great? ”

“Yes.”

Longyang Jun sighed, "In the past, we thought that Pangu civilization was due to the extreme scarcity of resources, it had to be carefully calculated to obliterate the desire. After all, the intense activities brought about by emotions and even the most extreme wars would dramatically accelerate the consumption of resources, leading to the early depletion and collapse of the closed world.

“But this is just one reason, not the least.

“Secondly, and more importantly, emotion brings desire, and for a highly developed intelligent life, the strongest desire is certainly not the primitive survival and reproduction, but the desire to know, the desire to explore, the constant march towards the outside world, the constant impulse, the constant crossing of all boundaries, the killing of all the way to the edge of the universe, and then the ambition of the universe!

“Even though the leaders of Pangu civilization could disband the Expeditionary Fleet and even destroy the crystal brain, the spiritual web and a series of technologies on how to use Psychic energy, in the tens of thousands and hundreds of thousands of years that followed, it is difficult to guarantee that these technologies will not be secretly developed and developed, and that there will be ambitious and unscrupulous young people who will master a new generation, assisted by artificial intelligence, and powered by Psychic starships, to make their way out of the 3,000 world!

“After all, the universe is too big, even the ‘little’ 3,000 worlds are in fact vast and vast oceans of stars, and there is no way to be anywhere near defensive, so long as one has the heart, one can finally escape.

“Or that sentence, always remember it - even a ship, a man, or even a cell in this side of the world can't escape, escape, be scanned by the flood tide, and that's it!

“Then, in order to prevent this, to solve the problem from its source, it is not enough to destroy the technology and dismantle the starship, but also to eradicate the desire, the desire for knowledge, the desire for exploration, the curiosity and even the imagination. When looking up at the vast sea of stars, there is no fluctuation in the heart - an individual like this is the safest for Pankonian civilization as a whole.

“In order to stifle desire, emotion must be suppressed first, ‘love’ and ‘desire’ are two sides of a coin, while extinguishing them is safe enough! ”

Li Yao opened his mouth and thought for half a day. He had to admit that Longyang Jun's statement was valid.

Isn't it curiosity and imagination that distinguishes humans, the Spirit of all things, from other nightmarish beasts?

As long as humans have curiosity, as long as humans have imagination, then when people look up at the sky, they always wonder what's behind the curtain, and countless people will give their wisdom, courage, sweat, and even all their lives - and rush out!

If you want to, the same goes for the original Pangu civilization, right? Looking up at the stars, deep inside, there's also a shock wave, a volcano eruption, right?

“Thirdly, it is also the most important reason why we must deprive ourselves of emotions-”

Longyangjun went on to say, “Keep away from fear and maintain order, so that Pangu civilization can maintain a minimum of orderly operation and preserve the seeds of civilization. ”

Li YaoWeiwei: “What do you mean, just retreat the Expeditionary Fleet and retract into the black wall, so you can get away from fear? What else is there to maintain order? ”

“You think too simple, Pangu civilization may not have seen Hong Tiao at all, just gathered from the wreckage of other civilizations, only words about Hong Tiao, their fear comes from deep inside, how far away? ”

Long Yangjun's expression was sad and indifferent, or, in order not to expose the deep sorrow in his heart, try to pretend to be indifferent, "I wonder if you have ever heard the phrase - when the last day comes, the world is not destroyed by the end, but by the chaos before the end.

“Humanity, never overestimate humanity, standing on the scale of the great universe, whether human or Pangu civilization, is but a small piece of dust. In the face of great terror, great disaster, great end, the vast majority of human beings and Pangu civilization individuals cannot bear it.

“Li Yao, if what I just said is true, how do you feel, do you feel shocked, horrible, even desperate, completely desperate? ”

“Er...”

Li Yao scratched his head, “It's a little shocking, a little horrible. Yes, there's a lot of gray thoughts and total despair. It's not enough. Hahahaha, how can I say that I've been through hundreds of wars. I haven't seen any big scenes. What's so horrible about the flood tide in the district? If Hung Chao is so powerful, jump in front of me now and hit me. Come on, Hung Chao, you fucking jump out and hit me, hit me, you idiot! You see, nothing happened, which suggests that either the flood tide is not omnipotent, it also has weaknesses, at least it can't detect our conversation and can't move over instantly.

“Or even Hung Chao feared my ‘vulture Li Yao' three points, so much so that I didn't dare to show up from the search for death! ”

Li Yao's hands forked his waist and scolded the stars for half a day. This is only a serious book against Longyang Jundo.

Longyang Jun: “…”

Li Yao: “Hey, hey, hey, what do you mean, you turn around and you leave? Everyone clearly enjoyed the conversation, very committed, just talking about the point. Where are you going without saying anything? ”

Long Yangjun: “I want to talk to Xiaoming and Wenwen. I think talking to these two little dolls is more reliable than talking to you. ”

“No, no, no. At least finish what you just said! ”

Li Yao left Long Yangjun behind at least to swear, "I won't talk anymore, listen to you, just listen to you! ”

Longyang Junji closed his eyes and took a few deep breaths before he forced himself to say: "Forget it, it's all superfluous to ask you, I'm going to say it in my own way -

“Leaving a freak like you behind, and a man as strong as Boss Bai, the existence of the flood tide is no less than an apocalyptic havoc for the vast majority of ordinary people, even those who possess powerful power but are not strong enough in their heart.

“Outside the world we live in, there is a force that we simply cannot resist or even imagine, a force that has not destroyed us simply because of our good luck - but such good luck can never last forever! One day, Hung Chao will find us, find us, and lazily devour us!

“Thousands of civilizations have been destroyed by the flood tide, and no matter how we develop our own civilization, we will not be able to stop the coming of destruction - it is called 'fleeing the catastrophe’!

“Do you understand, Li Yao, that this kind of awareness will lead to deep fear in everyone's heart, will completely cut off the hope that a civilization will continue to develop, will cause the flames of despair to sweep every planet in the 3,000 world, will crush the entire Pangu civilization before the flood tide arrives!

“Since destruction is inevitable, what's the point of working so hard to build civilization now?

“Since the outpouring of the 3,000 worlds has become an absolute taboo, where should the path to the future of Pangu civilization lead?

“How can we face their daily lives when there is a horrible beast out there ready to eat us and pan-Civilized individuals?

“No one can answer these questions, but everyone will wake up slowly to that unacceptable answer, and eventually, lightly, all individuals will lose the significance of life, immerse themselves in all sorts of primitive sensory stimuli and voice dogs, and live this life in a self-inflicted way; on the other hand, there will be all kinds of psychopathic lunatics and madmen, simply break the jar and end their civilization in the most extreme way, you can imagine a suicide of civilization!

“And the government? Oh, by this time the government, it must have lost all authority, glory and dominance, right? Since even the government can't cope with the flood tide, what's the use of such a government?

“Pangu civilization will degrade at an alarming rate, rapidly entering anarchy, and everyone will crash back and forth between the two extremes of utter despair and total madness, as if they all suffer from the worst of manic depression, perhaps in just a hundred years, the Pangu Alliance, created by the union of thirteen carbon-based intelligent races, will be destroyed once and for all!

“Ask yourself, as the leader of Pangu civilization, what other way, after foreseeing such a bleak vision of the future, is there to save all people from fear by depriving them of feelings and desires, to continue to live and work ‘normally' and to maintain the minimum functioning of civilization? ”

Li Yao meditated bitterly for half a day, and tangled: “It seems to be true. In fact, let people live. Materials and other things are not the most important thing. The key is to see hope. As long as there is hope, it doesn't matter if life is any more difficult now, but the road to the future is completely blocked by the flood tide. If you don't see a little hope for development, the whole civilization will be lost. There is a good chance that what you say, the government will fall, order will break down, and civilization will collapse.

“In other words, it is not a matter of killing feelings and desires and blocking the development of all technology. In the end, isn't it still a dead end? ”

“This could be an expedient plan. ”

Longyang Jundo, "Perhaps the leader of Pangu civilization, who made this decision at first, thought that Hung Chao would not be touring the area forever? Hundreds of thousands, hundreds of thousands or even millions of years later, Hung Tiao always leaves to seek food elsewhere, then finds a way to unlock the space for emotion, desire and technological progress, and allow the seeds of civilization to reblossom for at least a million years, or even to cross the black wall and rush into the great universe - isn't that ‘escape in death'? ”
