Forty Millenniums of Cultivation
Chapter 3129: A Painful Lesson!
The ghosts of the original civilization have solidified.
“What did you say? ”
The captain is incredible, “You've come all the way down here so easily to pass the test. Isn't it just to get too ancient a legacy? This is your only hope of saving your civilization, but you want to... refuse? ”
“Yes, I refuse. ”
Li Yao became calmer and more relaxed, smiling, “Don't get me wrong, I am neither temporarily arose, I want to use the life and death of the entire civilization to make a lonely toss; not to play with the trick of wanting to catch and refuse to welcome back, but deliberately to make up for the 'right answer'; I sincerely believe that the so-called 'ancient inheritance’ is of little benefit to my civilization, or that my civilization is not ready to accept this overly generous gift, the time is not yet! ”
“Why?”
The captain looked at Li Yao, “Can you explain? ”
“From the beginning, I've been wondering what the real purpose of this' ultimate test 'is, what exactly are you trying to test and measure, really black and white concepts like' justice ’and‘ evil ’? ”
Li Yao shook his head, “No, I don't think so. On the road to civilization's courage, the concepts of righteousness and good and evil change every moment. There is far more than one way to save civilization. Who can say that they must be right and always right?
“As in human civilization, there are personalities like me and Ding Bell, but also Longyang Jun, Bai Big Boss, Li Jialing, Li Linghai, Lei Chenghu, through the spring wind... tens of thousands of different personalities, people with different ideas, cultivating different minds, all fighting for the rise of the whole civilization in their own way, must I be more right than them, more able to save civilization? Even transforming the character and philosophy of all people into me, is there only one voice, one idea, one path, even a path that looks like light and justice, that a world that is certainly better than it is today?
“Even myself wouldn't dare say that.
“I'm afraid that's why you're starting to say 'there's no right answer’.
“I suppose, even after 30,000 years of suffering and constant reflection in the escape, the surviving Original clans wouldn't agree that their ancestors did wrong? Just as there are ‘cultivators’ and 'fairy cultivators' among humans, there must be two or many factions of you, some of you believe that the ancestors were right, and the original Order of the Great Extinction and the Sun Defense Plan should have been a little harsher.
“So, ‘righteous evil’ and 'good and evil’ are not at all your most important things. At the level of ‘quasi-god civilization', your hearts have long transcended the concepts of ‘righteous evil' and 'good and evil'. Perhaps you also know that there is no way out to drill the horns of righteousness and evil.
“What you care about is not righteousness, evil, but the attitude of a civilization in the face of sudden expansion or the power that comes down from the sky.
“From the earthly past, to the struggle and rise of the Original clan in the cosmic sea, in fact, you have implied on countless occasions that I - the control and application of any power - was not without cost, that there was already a 'heavenly path' in the underworld, and that the price was implicitly marked for each power, and that the more powerful power was mastered and applied, the more heavy or even severe the price would have to be paid. If you were too obsessed with the power, instead of becoming the master of it, you would become the slave of it.
“Mammoths and swordtooth tigers, seemingly blessed with evolution, controlled incomparable power in the environment at the time, became masters of the masculine side, at the cost of self-proclaiming, losing the impetus to continue evolution, and eventually, when this‘ mutant 'of humankind appeared, they were exterminated in a brief moment.
“The same tragedy is happening to star aliens like the 'Void Hunter' and the 'Hill Crab', originating from hollow heavenly bliss with plenty of spirituality, whose power far exceeds the tens of millions of times that of swordtooth tigers and mammoths, and whose price is even more tragic. Without the emergence of the flood tide, they would never have known what true wisdom and civilization looked like.
“And the earthlings who entered the industrialized and informatized societies? They seem to possess advanced technologies and superior civilizations that are impossible for all the rest of the Earth's creatures to master, at the cost of losing control over themselves and inspiring a profound propensity for self-destruction in the depths of the genes: the First World War, the Second World War, and even turning the atmosphere into a dark curtain, turning the earth into a wasteland thermonuclear war - the Third World War - at the cost of power for the people of Earth.
“Where are you descendants of the Earthlings, the Originals? And of course, you have paid a price, and it's a greater price than the people of Earth, the swordtooth tigers, the mammoths, the void hunters, the giant crabs of the hills...
“Too soon, your civilization is evolving too fast. You are not natives of the center of the cosmic sea, but ‘mutants' of alien invasion. Before you came to the center of the cosmic sea, you had never come into contact with spiritual energy on such a large scale and in depth that the abundance and intensity of spirits in a hole in heaven and earth could be a force for you to 'descend from heaven, completely free'?
“With this‘ totally free power ', you have completed the transition from ordinary civilization to quasi-god civilization in just tens of thousands of years, without exception, lost in excessive power.
“I also scanned your social morphology and technological development at the moment of the ray of light, and found that you were a rather deformed civilization with a large number of faults - in some areas, particularly the military technology of bloody killing, you have reached the point of peak creation or even heartbreaking insanity, yet in others where humanities, the rule of law and morality are at stake, you are not much higher than in Earth's time, and even because of the cold and dark star sea, you have retreated to medieval feudal and tribal standards on Earth, which the tearing of technology and humanities is so bizarre.
“I suppose the power that once eroded star aliens, such as void hunters and hill crabs, and kept lower civilizations in slave societies forever, began to erode your original civilizations, too?
“So why did you behave so badly on the road to the rise of civilization, why did you issue the Holocaust, why did you forget the lessons of the Earth's era and start another brutal civil war after the massacre of the vast majority of civilizations, and why did you throw out the Solar Line Initiative? It is pointless to blame someone for being beneath moral standards, the roots of which are that you are lost in forces beyond your control; that you are expanding too fast to keep up with technological advances; and that you are too greedy to try to control things beyond your control and achieve millions of years of glory in just tens of thousands of years.
“In the face of mighty power and deadly temptations, can you keep a clear mind and make rational judgments - that's what you really focus on, right? ”
The captain listened quietly, hearing here, she and all the ghosts of the original clan finally revealed an expression of immense shame, immense remorse, immense pain.
The captain's lips trembled and she silenced, wondering whether there was no corresponding answer in the pre-set procedure or whether there was some truth in it that was higher than the procedure.
“We are fortunate to have a new generation of human civilizations in the Pancosmos. ”
Li Yao's smile grew brighter and brighter, "Although we are also a coincidental artificial civilization, although our ‘father civilization', Pangu and Lady Hui, have also left us a rich legacy, for a long time these legacies have been buried beneath Huangsha, drifting in the stars and seas, we mainly rely on our own hands, thorns, thorns, bluefins, all the way to today, not only to develop advanced technology, cultivate powerful divinity, the people also have a sound body and mind, strong moral values, the strong and intelligent can also reach general consensus, the whole civilization is positive, vibrant and full of fearless hope.
“In this context, we have discovered the relics of Pangu civilization, because the gap between Pangu civilization and us is not too great, and the relic technology is sporadic, and does not have a great impact on our social morphology and moral philosophy, even though there are some subversive things that we can slowly absorb.
“It can be said that such a legacy is of benefit to human civilization at this moment.
“But what about the 'too ancient heirloom' from the original civilization? According to you, that's something that leads us to at least a few hundred thousand years, advanced to an incredible degree, that can suddenly bring our civilization to the realm of quasi-god civilization, oh, that's exaggerated, just as an ordinary person cannot suddenly become a meta-baby strongman by taking Sendan, I can't imagine a common civilization suddenly becoming a quasi-god civilization, what it really looks like.
“Another inappropriate example is as if a poor man had suddenly won tens of millions of lottery tickets - do you think he really had enough knowledge, ability and will to control the money and not lose himself in a world of lust and money?
“I have also heard a lot about ordinary people who were mediocre but still happy, who had a light tea meal, who changed their personality overnight, were eroded by their desires, wasted heavily, returned to poverty after doing nothing, could not accept such an end, but fell into a more painful abyss - something like that.
“Even myself, I was a healthy, sunny, good teenager, because in just a hundred years, I cultivated the realm of distraction, had too much power, and now ‘chronic fire into the demon’, my brain is seriously damaged, my intelligence is suddenly low, and I even suffer from personality splitting problems - this is a painful lesson! ”
