Forty Millenniums of Cultivation

“Why do you say that? ”

The voice said, "Erosing the tester's soul is an easy thing for us. If our purpose is so simple, we could have eroded the tester tens of millions of years ago, why wait so long? ”

“Is it really that easy? ”

Li Yao snorted and laughed again, “So, do you dare tell me the real purpose of the Sun Defense Project, this seemingly ambitious plan, as you say, is to destroy and block the flood tide?

“Impossible, even if one of the most ordinary galaxies contains 100 million, 1 billion, or even 10 billion stars, even if the original civilization at its peak can't destroy a billion stars in one breath, right? As you said, your plan is to destroy 'tens of millions of stars'. Huh, compared to the total number of stars in astronomical numbers, 'tens of millions' is nothing but poppy!

“Destroying tens of millions of stars from a billion is a real possibility of severely traumatizing and blocking flood tides and even destabilizing the entire cosmic ocean, making it impossible to jump? I highly doubt that.

“The Floodtide Corps has a large number of 'void hunters' who can travel across the stars in four-dimensional storms, and they have the technology to jump the stars and seas no less than you do, even if the scorched earth area you make is bigger, the flood tide can be bypassed.

“So, what was the real purpose of the Solar Line Program? At first, I couldn't figure it out, but when you made another ‘necessary sacrifice’, I suddenly understood.

“The so-called 'necessary sacrifice' is the real purpose of the Solar Line Project, right?

“From the beginning, you didn't want to fight Hung Chao. Abuse and cowardice are the two sides of a coin. Being the masters of the universe, you have long lost the resilience and courage of the past, but you have been frightened by the flood that laid the ground and penetrated the earth, and you want to flee only to the desert.

“But fleeing takes time, and lack of energy and resources makes it impossible for you to take away all the original tribes. Worse still, if the vast majority of the civilian population is left behind, they will be devoured by the flood tide, which will suddenly swell a hundredfold and soon catch up with you.

“The so-called 'Solar Line of Defense Program' was launched against this backdrop, a despicable plan of three birds a stone.

“First of all, detonating tens of millions of stars, while not capable of causing serious damage to the flood tide, does delay the tide for a while, giving you millions to tens of millions of years of escape and development.

“Secondly, the vast majority of your abandoned compatriots will be buried in the flames of star crushing, and will not be able to remain captives of the flood tide or live with resentment towards you.

“Finally, the ripples of tens of millions of star explosions will not necessarily destabilize the entire cosmic ocean, but will erase the traces of your escape - and even the most intense tail flames of the fleet, leaving any radiation trajectories, will be swept clean in the thousands of supernova explosions stacked together.

“So the 'Sun Defense Plan' is not an aggressive plan at all, but a despicable escape plan. Your reaction is nothing more than a reprint of the meteorite disaster faced by the powerful and wealthy people of the Earth's age. Once again, you will abandon 99% of your compatriots, innocent and weak civilians, and walk away! And this time, even more shamelessly than the last time, you will detonate the hope on which your fellow countrymen depend to survive, help you delay the enemy and cover up your escape trail!

“Speak, you bastard, don't you like chatter? Aren't you the best at hiding your greed, your fear of death and your hypocritical cowardice? Tell me if that's the truth or not! ”

The voice was mute.

In Li Yao's mind, the noise of "squeamish, squeak, squeak," like stored in the ancient treasure, the pre-set program, all encountered a conflict of underlying logic, I don't know how to respond.

“We… have no choice. ”

Once again, the voice repeated, “We cannot sit idly by, but let the wise and the elite of the whole civilization go first in order to preserve the spark of civilization, and the rest of us are doomed to die. Rather, we should give them a painful liberation and give them their sacrifice in exchange for the best good. ”

“Ha ha ha ha ha ha, what a ‘wise man and elite go first’, what a ‘happy liberation’, what a 'sacrifice for the best good’, I bam! ”

Li Yao first laughed furiously, then resented him. "I've heard enough of your bullshit, I've had enough of your erosion, and I can't stand ‘no choice' anymore! Let me tell you, Vulture Lee Yew, my ultimate choice - if I were truly the commander of the original civilization at the time, I would lead the strongest, bravest, wisest adults of the entire civilization to stay, we would face the floods, fight side by side, and live forever, we would build a stronger copper-walled iron wall with our own flesh and souls than the Sun Defense Line, we would give survival opportunities to the weak and children, and before they escape safely, the flood tide would never cross our corpses for half a step, until the last moment, perhaps we would also detonate the stars, but all those who made the Sun Defense Line plan would stand with me and stand on our new home for the ultimate glory! ”

“So you're not a qualified commander. ”

The voice said, "Just a hot, bloody reckless man. ”

“Before becoming a qualified commander--”

Li Yao roared, “First of all, I am a qualified, true, fleshy, honorable, proud and bottom-line human being! ”

“Well, your resistance and escape plans are most likely to fail. ”

The voice said, "You're going to destroy the whole civilization. ”

“Your despicable and dehumanizing practices will destroy a civilization that was once great! ”

Li Yao roared, “The universe is vast, time is endless, standing on the scale of the great universe to observe, 50 billion years, 100 billion years, is there an endless civilization? If my civilization and I truly arrive at the moment when the meteor is about to fall, I only hope that I and it will be able to reveal the most radiant glow! Either we live like individuals, or we die like individuals, and we never become zombies, viruses and cockroaches in the stars and oceans! ”

“Tester, you are wasting your last precious opportunity. ”

The voice became harsh, "If you continue to be so obsessed, you are most likely to be eliminated and wiped out along with your civilization. ”

Along with the uncovered threat of sound, Li Yao's bright star sea in his brain gradually boiled and rolled over, turning into a highly poisonous black swamp.

The black poison juice seemed to congeal up into a tentacle that covered the sky and smashed his head at Li Yao.

“Soft doesn't work. Are we going to get tough? ”

Li Yaohaha laughed, faced the threat of a mysterious voice, just contaminated a few dust and dirt hearts, but in the moment it became incredibly clear and bright, all hesitation, entanglement and confusion, were completely burned by the burning intentions of the bear, “I was obsessed with making the first two choices, and now I am completely awake!

“Your words are fundamentally contradictory - if this is really a test set up to look for ‘different possibilities', why don't you let me make my own choices every time I reach a key node? You say ‘free will’ is the number one thing, why set up obstacles to interfere with my free will? This kind of test is just a real-life repetition of the history of human beings from Earth to the original civilization, and even if I can follow your three suggestions and successfully pass the whole test, I'm afraid that my moral and thinking patterns will be completely eroded and assimilated by you and turned into your reproduction. What kind of 'civilization restart' is this? ”

“You are our duplicates. ”

The voice waved a black tentacle in Li Yao's mind, causing a great deal of fury, "Don't forget, our genes are 100% identical! ”

“So what? Humans and cockroaches and maggots all share some genetic coincidence, but real humans will never be as dirty as cockroaches and maggots! ”

Li Yao roared, “The so-called genetic and flesh body is just the carrier of our hearts, the mind is the most important thing! Even if we are 100% in line with your genes, we have the wisdom, courage, morality, sense of justice, and determination to defend it all that you don't have! We are your descendants, but we are not your reproductions. We are not anyone's reproductions. We do not care whether we are the original civilization, the ancient demons or other messy and powerful beings. We are us, the small but always proud people, the new generation of humans! ”

“So...”

The thousands of black tentacles of the voice, as if at the same time the eyes of countless suction cups had been opened, each of them emitted a cosmic radiation of death, staring dead at Li Yao's soul, “Are you determined to reject our proposal and make us enemies? ”

“What's the point of living like a walking corpse and a steel cockroach living ruthlessly and without tears if the only ‘alternative' to becoming your enemies is to become your reproductions, your claw teeth and your slaves, living your way? ”

Li Yao laughed, “That's right, let these ‘no choice’ go to hell, ‘primitive civilization’ is better, even worse than your ‘flood tide', or some other demon monster, the 'glamour' doesn't even matter, even the absolute power of four-dimensional space, come on, we new humans are here to wait for your arrival, let's - fight to the death! ”
