Forty Millenniums of Cultivation

Along with the roaring cry, Li Yao seemed to have truly emerged a golden avenue at his feet, and this road stretched endlessly far away, like a cold, glittering battle knife, directly chopping the hearts of the captain and all the former ghosts of the family.

The female captain and the ghosts of the original clan were all deterred by Li Yao's determination, like a flurry of smoke in a flaming sun, blurred and fluttering by the sun.

“I had no idea that, hundreds of millions of years later, there would be a new human civilization with people like you present in it. ”

The captain laughed with utter loneliness and remorse. She spoke to herself and to the dead spirits of all her compatriots, "If only there had been someone like you at the beginning, at the end of the Earth's epoch. If there had been someone like you around the then leader of Earth's civilization, the Sea of Ten Thousand Hidden, he would have struck a balance between righteousness, evil, light and darkness. Perhaps our civilization would have progressed in very different directions. Perhaps the flood tide would not have been born. Perhaps the entire cosmic sea would have become more prosperous, lively and beautiful than it is today... 10,000 times better. ”

“It was only in the beginning, and today is about to pass, but there are still hundreds of millions of possibilities in the future waiting for us to create them, including ‘10,000 times better’. ”

Li Yao clenched his fist and raised it high. “We will surely create our own future! ”

“Exactly.”

The captain smiled and looked back at her compatriots.

The ghosts of all the original tribes laughed relievedly and spilled a hint of pale gold smoke around them, as if, after suffering and waiting hundreds of millions of years, they had finally waited for the final liberation and could not wait to enter eternal long sleep.

“Your performance is better than all the possibilities the program has preset. ”

The illusion of the captain is becoming thinner, as if ice is melting in warm water, but the smile on her face is getting stronger. "In the ‘clearance conditions' set by the program, we mainly test three points - first, whether the tester has absolute freedom and an incredibly intransigent will to adhere to his ideas.

“You are right, the concepts of righteousness, evil, light and darkness are not what we care about. Who says that evil and darkness in the conventional sense must not be the way out, but the key is balance and perseverance?

“If the tester himself tends to be bright and kind, then we give him a darker and evil option, and if the tester himself comes from a weak meat predator, cruelly slaughtered in the world of Hulo, then we give him a bright and kind option, no matter how he chooses, the key is to stick to himself, not to be dictated by us - by anyone.

“Secondly, on the basis of insistence, the testers must also have a spirit of sacrifice - both for their own compatriots, their homes and civilizations and for their own ideas. Those who bear the banner of a crown for their own selfishness, but the men and women who are prostitutes and perous, cannot lead a civilization to glory. Only a true martyr, even an evil and dark martyr, can be the leader of a powerful civilization.

“Thirdly, and most importantly, an absolutely sober mind, knowing trade-offs and patience, even the inheritance temptation of divine civilization cannot shake his heart, will be able to avoid the problems caused by the sudden expansion on the path of civilization development, avoid the tragedy of ‘spinning out’ and even resist the flood tide.

“Originally, by the measure of procedure, as long as we had the courage to reject the ‘gold key' of the original civilization, even if it succeeded, but we had designed the ultimate test, we had no idea that something like 'the remains of a hundred pioneer civilizations' existed. Our original plan was that as long as the tester refused the 'gold key', his civilization would be preserved, and we would pass on everything of the original civilization to them, step by step and slowly, through the 'Tower of Heaven', and certainly not do the foolish things that fuelled them to death with massive amounts of technology and cultivation systems.

“Think now, however, that our setup is too hasty to cultivate just another weakened, degraded version of small metallic primitive civilization, rather than a new future, or do you have a point?

“Well, tester Li Yao, I hope that the new generation of human civilization can really absorb the essence of a hundred pioneer civilizations, inherit the legacy of these ‘brothers and sisters', according to your own way, in this pale sea of stars, and go forward without returning your head!

“Hundreds of millions of years of waiting, we are so tired that we can finally get some rest, hoping that when we wake up, the whole cosmic ocean will really be 10,000 times better tomorrow, and you will find a solution to the flood tide.

“On behalf of the final will of the original civilization, I sincerely wish you success, human... civilization...”

The female captain and all the ghosts of the original clan, together with a smile to salute Li Yao, is both a sincere wish and a thank you to him, thank him for bringing them a better answer, which will give them eternal relief.

“Wait!”

Li Yao felt that the captain had something to say, but in the spiritual world, he hurried to sweat. "Don't rush away, I still have a lot of confusion to solve, I haven't asked many questions!

“You just said that according to the tester's natural and moral beliefs, the scenes presented by the ultimate test are changing, then I would like to know what the so-called 'history of conquest of the original civilization' that the testers of natural darkness and evil saw was, exactly what the tragedy of the end of the Earth's century was, the Great Extinction Order included the 'Solar Defense Plan’ … have these things ever appeared in real history, what is the true, false and real history of that voice!

“And did you really destroy the civilization of a hundred pioneers, or was there something else?

“And how's my wife doing with them? Is everything all right? Now that I've passed the test, can I let them all go?

“And what about the Beast Tide, which is hitting the Tower of Heaven? I think this vicious beast surge is too strange. Could it not be that the tentacles of the flood wave have reached Pankoku? ”

“History is made by man, it is rendered, smeared and tampered with. Even if it is only a hundred years old, it is all a matter of speech. Unanimously, righteousness, evil, non-black-and-white, who can comment? ”

The female captain has turned into a golden group that can't see the face of the five officials, sending a faint voice from the group, "Even for us hundreds of millions of years ago, the Earth Age, the Great Extinction Order and the Sun Defense Project fall within the category of 'ancient history', who knows what the truth is?

“Besides, didn't you also say that it was just the beginning, that the past was long gone, that what matters is today and the future, that everyone is the past, today and the future, that you are what you are today, that history and the future are, and that there is no need to get too involved.

“How exactly is the civilization of a hundred generations of pioneers destroyed, as we have just answered, and of course there are countless details, countless curves, turbulent ileum, exciting stories, huh, these interesting information are all in their remains, if you want to know, why not explore them yourself?

“As for the final test that is still in progress…

“Now that you have succeeded in breaking the line, naturally there is no need to go on, but I still hope that all human testers will persevere in the end until they fail or succeed, but even if they fail, they will not accept any punishment - apart from psychological torture, I think it is the best arrangement to give them a deeper memory so that they understand the logic that ‘any power comes at a price’, and ultimately it is up to you personally to reveal the truth to them. ”

“You mean…”

Li Yao thought for a long time, “Let's say, hypothetically, a tester succeeded in passing all the tests before, came to the 'Golden Key’ link, saw so many magical magic treasures that destroyed the heavens and the earth, beyond imagination of technology, he was naturally angry, grabbed the Golden Key, but found himself dreaming of Huang Xuan, and then I appeared in front of him, laughing and hip-hopping, said to him, it was all fake, nothing too ancient, inheritance was rejected by me —— so? ”

“Yes.”

The captain said, "What do you think? ”

“I think...”

Li Yao said, "I will be beaten to death by them. ”

There was a slight laugh in the golden glow.

“And the tide of beasts? ”

Li Yaoqi said, "Don't you think the tide of the beast outside is too strange? ”

“We are only a small process, a legacy that has been eroded for hundreds of millions of years and turned into a denial. ”

"We don't know what the ferocious tide of beasts is, and even if it is the forefront of the Flood Tide Corps, we can't help it - within our capabilities, we can instantly destroy the Tower and the ancient relics of Tai Chi, including all the carbon-based and energy life that is stuck here at this moment, all of us in the abyss of the turbulence of time and space, forever to nothingness.

“But I'm sure that's not the solution you want, is it?

“Hundreds of millions of years, even if Hung Chao really came here, it's no surprise. We've made our best efforts, and it's up to you now. Go on, heir Li Yao, to prove that you're not exaggerating, you low-skilled bastards, fight your way! ”

“Are you really just a program? ”

Li Yao questioned and gave his own answer. “I don't believe it. How can any program be so flexible as to be able to answer questions that go beyond the settings? Even ordinary AI can't do it!

“Even ancient civilizations can evolve into super artificial intelligence like 'fu fu’. There is no reason why hundreds of millions of years ago yuan original civilization could not do it. What are you, some kind of fu fu like super artificial intelligence, or literally 'ghost of the original family'? What do you mean," one day you'll wake up again "? Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey. ”

There are overlapping laughters in the golden light waves that merge together, like there are countless men, women and children laughing together.

Before the golden light waves completely dissipated, the laughter of countless ghosts converged into two words:

“Guess what? ”
