Text Chapter 1645 Fighting Against the Heavens and the Earth Is a Lot of Fun!
Li Yao could clearly sense the wavering of Cui Lingfeng's Taoism, just like the erratic starlight in the dark universe, he couldn't help but said anxiously: "Master Speaker, you won't be bewitched by Lu Qingchen and Ding Zhengyang's so-called 'Cultivation of Immortals 2.0', right? "
"No."
Cui Lingfeng shook his head and said, "Early before Ding Zhengyang said all this, even ten years ago, when we met Wen Xingyao Federation, another cultivator at the edge of the Star Sea, I have been thinking about these questions.
"Do you know why I have always resisted and completely integrated into the Star Federation? Of course, the stubborn pride in the Star Sea Republic and the distrust of the Federation are one aspect, but more important, perhaps more important... is our own... Suspect.
"The Star Sea Republic in the past, that great country that was in the golden age and hadn't yet bred the monster 'Black Star Emperor Wu Yingqi', is certainly something to be proud of.
"But after that, is the 'orthodox government' that fled for a thousand years after giving birth to Wu Yingqi, wandering in the sea of stars, still something to be proud of?
"Once our integration with the Star Federation is accelerated, all the efforts we have made to survive in the past thousand years will be fully exposed, and those secrets that are deeply locked in the speaker's office may not be so passionate, soul-stirring, and epic. , above board!
"I don't know, once those documents are all declassified, and the federal people know everything that happened on the Firefly in the past thousand years, what will they think of us.
"Will they still regard us as 'real cultivators', or will they regard us as another form, a miniature 'immortal cultivator civilization' that is undergoing transformation, and thus hate us, reject us, and be wary of us?
"Understood, perhaps, from the deepest part of my heart, I am not refusing to join the federation, but I am afraid that the federation will refuse us to join after discovering all the truth!"
Li Yao took a deep breath, and felt that Cui Lingfeng looked very different under the reflection of the deep sea of stars.
Perhaps, this is the truest side of the Supreme Speaker of the Star Sea Republic.
After experiencing so much darkness, lies, and struggles, there is only a thin line between him, and everyone on board, and Ding Zhengyang, Cheng Xuansu and other immortal cultivators.
Cui Lingfeng stared blankly at the outside of the crystal dome, letting the starlight penetrate his old and weak body like an arrow, and said quietly: "But, we have no choice.
"I don't know whether Lu Qingchen's 'Cultivation of Immortals 2.0', as reported by Ding Zhengyang, is a universal truth, but at least on the Firefly, it seems irrefutable. All the way to the uninhabited and barren land in the depths of the universe, if the starship is getting more and more dilapidated, the resources are getting scarcer, and the population is increasing day by day, how long can the so-called Dao of Comprehension last? In the end, without the help of the real human empire Erosion and bewitching, we will all automatically become immortal cultivators, the most terrifying immortal cultivators!
"The resources in the universe are limited, but the explosion of life can be unlimited. The extreme scarcity of resources is the normal state of the universe. All of us, no matter the Federation, the Empire, the Holy League or the Republic, all just live in a larger ship. On the "Firefly" at one point, we are sailing towards the darkness of ignorance. Therefore, following the universe's way of cultivating immortals is the ultimate principle of a civilization, the real "way of heaven", and our civilization can last forever Captain Immortal Lin, what do you think about this theory?"
Li Yao was silent for a long time under the icy starlight. It was so long that Cui Lingfeng thought that he could not answer such a question, so he waved his hand in a disinterested manner. Just as he was about to end the conversation, he suddenly said: "Sir, Firefly There are cockroaches on it."
Cui Lingfeng was stunned: "Of course."
"And there are more than one kind. At least I can sense more than a dozen different mutant races from the corners of the corners by letting out a few wisps of divine thoughts casually."
Li Yaodao, "Based on the word 'survival', cockroaches are indeed a very successful species, not only more successful than us humans, but even more successful than our parent civilization, Pangu civilization or Nuwa civilization!
"From the research of our current archaeologists and historians, even our parent civilization, the Pangu and Nuwa tribes, from their rise to their decline, at most hundreds of thousands of years to one million years ago, The 'lifespan' of an entire civilization will not exceed one or two million years.
"However, cockroaches appeared at least 350 million years ago, so far, the 'life span' of this race is three hundred times longer than that of the Pangu and Nuwa races!
"For three hundred and fifty thousand years, countless splendid races and civilizations that once ruled the world have been destroyed. Dinosaur civilization, Pangu, Nuwa, Yaozu... the powerful, invincible overlord and radiant man who ruled the universe in the past. All the civilizations of China were annihilated in the waves of time.
"But the little cockroach has survived tenaciously, and along with the footsteps of various prehistoric powerhouses conquering the universe, it has expanded to all parts of the three thousand worlds, developing hundreds of millions of variants, no matter in the dark, cold, near-vacuum In an abandoned starship; on a desert planet with rolling yellow sand where the surface temperature is over 100 degrees; on a frozen planet where dripping water turns into ice and is extremely cold... cockroaches can quickly adapt to the environment, and they can live well wherever they go.
"Although I'm not sure, it's at least 99% possible that one day, when our human civilization is completely extinct, cockroaches will still not become extinct. No matter how harsh and cruel the environment is, they will continue to 'evolve' and continue to "evolve". Survive, survive a billion years and beyond!
"In this sense, our human civilization may just be a passer-by in the universe, and cockroaches are eternal."
Cui Lingfeng finally turned around, stared straight at Li Yao, frowned and said, "Captain Lin, what exactly do you want to say?"
Li Yaodao: "I want to say that if the meaning of a civilization's evolution is to allow itself to survive longer, then the 'Avenue of Immortal Cultivation' is by no means the best choice for us humans, and the 'Avenue of Cockroach Cultivation' is the most optimal solution. , come up with a way to abandon everything from our fragile body to useless benevolence, kindness and morality through genetic modulation or various cultivation secrets, and turn everyone into a certain form of cockroach hypothesis Under certain circumstances, the Firefly really fell into darkness, everyone killed each other, and the survivors all became immortal cultivators, but you still can't survive the cockroaches on the ship, right?"
Cui Lingfeng was silent and fell into deep thought.
"Think I'm quibbling?"
Li Yao smiled and opened his arms towards Xinghai, "Actually, these days, I have been thinking about the words of that 'Renren Lu' in Dilinhui. The so-called 'Cultivation of Immortals 2.0' sounds good at first glance. Indeed, darkness is the master of the universe. Hue, the law of the jungle, survival of the fittest, this is the 'law of nature'.
"However, it suddenly occurred to me later that the so-called 'civilization' was intended to violate nature and change the universe? Since our earliest ancestors ignited the first flame on an unknown planet and set fire to the mountain From the beginning, we have been changing the planet under our feet and the universe above our heads step by step. Such changes are good and bad, and sometimes even lead to disastrous consequences, but our progress has never stopped, gritting our teeth Persevere, bit by bit, use our will to change the universe, conquer the universe, and be an enemy of the universe. The so-called "fighting the sky and the earth, the joy is endless" is exactly that!
"The universe is so vast and powerful. Nine out of ten results of being an enemy of the universe are crushed to powder. Therefore, the immortal cultivators succumbed and retreated. They pledged their allegiance to the dark universe and surrendered to the cruel nature. The "principle of the universe" changed them and obliterated the "humanity" that our ancestors spent hundreds of thousands of years of hard work to gather.
"Even so, what good results can the civilization of immortal cultivators achieve? No matter how groveling they are, begging for perfection, giving up everything, and constantly changing themselves, they will not be able to live longer than cockroaches!
"No, no, in my opinion, only races that dare to declare war on the universe with their own will are eligible to be called 'civilizations'. A 'civilization' is born to conquer the universe, and the Dao Heart of its own civilization , Carried out to every corner of the sea of stars!
"Without such determination, no matter how excellent the supernatural powers and powerful force are, they are only driven by the instinct to survive. They are created by the universe, and they are just poor playthings!
"So, whether it's Immortal Cultivation 2.0 or 5.0, a hundred points and zero are useless. In my opinion, it has no right to be called the 'Civilization of Immortal Cultivators'. It's just a group of steel cockroaches living in the sea of stars.
"Maybe they pointed out some of the most natural truths, the laws of the universe. In the words of the ancient Xiu era, they have awakened to the 'Day of Heaven', right? Cultivation, if you don’t even dare to go against the sky, you still have to cultivate!”
The more Li Yao spoke, the more excited he became, dancing and spitting.
Cui Lingfeng stared at him blankly, and suddenly burst out laughing, blushing, out of breath, every wrinkle on his face was trembling, as if all the darkness and darkness of the past thousand years had been pent up in his heart. Haze laughed.
"I finally completely believe that you are not a cultivator."
He laughed with turbid tears, "A cultivator will never say such a thing, even if he pretends, he can't pretend, here"
He handed a silver-colored jade slip to Li Yao, "This is the secret key of the 'Orthodox Government' confidential information center. It has been kept by Cheng Xuansu in the past, and it records all the splendor and glory of the golden years of the Xinghai Republic. , and all the darkness and ugliness of the years of exile, including things like the 'Rebirth Project', no matter what, they are all an inseparable part of the five words 'Star Sea Republic'."
Li Yao blinked, and finally understood Cui Lingfeng's purpose for talking to him.
This appears to be a special test.
And now, he passed the test and got... the history of the Star Sea Republic. (To be continued.)
