Text Chapter 1881 When Facing a Tiger

Facing Di Feiwen's questioning, Li Yao was silent for a long time, and still grinned: "Similar questions, in fact, Su Changfa and many immortal cultivators who were captured by us in the past have thrown out. I found out that you immortal cultivators have accepted roughly The same brainwashing process, the most like to use this extreme dilemma to confuse people?

"Of course I have thought about these issues, and I have even been caught in a dilemma. I think the theory of the immortal cultivators is quite reasonable, but when you think about it carefully, when this dilemma occurs, no matter what you choose, it will fall into your favor. Sophisticated logic, what else is there to say?

"So, I think the point is not how to choose in this dilemma, but to find a way to prevent such a thing from happening.

"For example, you just said that when a crisis comes, mobs will inevitably appear, and they will be extremely crazy. Why? Isn't it because you cultivators usually look down on ordinary people, cruelly oppress ordinary people, and don't believe in ordinary people. They do not promote real 'education' to awaken ordinary people's awareness of 'defenders of human civilization', but instead instill the idea of ​​'the strong prey on the weak and the winner is king' all day long.

"You have planted the seeds of cruelty and selfishness deep in the hearts of ordinary people, treating them like 'beasts', how can you expect them to obediently obey or even sacrifice themselves when the crisis comes?

"Also, you self-proclaimed 'elites' are selfish, arrogant, and arrogant. I believe that when a crisis comes, people like 'Blood Demon Gun' Zhou Tailong among you will sacrifice themselves It is also a very small number, the vast majority of immortal cultivators will still scramble for their lives, and even say things like 'my strength is stronger, my life is more valuable, so I am more qualified to live'?

"The upper beam is not upright and the lower beam is crooked. You behave like this. The ordinary people below follow your example and follow your example. How can you not become a 'mob'?

"However, is there such a possibility that in an ideal society, all people receive comprehensive civic education from an early age, and deeply understand that no matter whether the spiritual root is awakened or not, the power they grasp is strong or weak, and everyone is human. The masters and defenders of civilization all shoulder unshirkable responsibilities, and they all regard 'guarding' and 'sacrifice' as the highest values, and such values ​​are deeply imprinted in their subconscious minds.

"At the same time, always maintain a sense of crisis. Even if the crisis has not yet come, we will carry out a large number of "emergency plans" training in the form of a combination of "illusory world" and "actual combat exercises".

"When a real crisis comes, under the leadership of practitioners, countless people will step forward and sacrifice themselves to stop the enemy. The rest of the people have received a lot of training, and they can maintain the most basic order and evacuate and retreat in an orderly manner. , to maximize the number of people who eventually retreat.

"Such an ideal society is what the Star Federation and I want to pursue!"

Di Feiwen stared straight at Li Yao: "According to what your lord said, how high is the average moral standard in this ideal society? Isn't everyone going to become a sage?"

"The progress of civilization, of course, means that the moral standard is getting higher and higher, not the other way around!"

Li Yao said seriously, "Of course, this is just our ideal or dream. To achieve the state where everyone is a sage is harder than destroying the whole world. However, we still have technology, and I believe in technological progress. , can make up for some moral backwardness, and let us avoid this dilemma as much as possible.

"For example, the second dilemma you raised is the problem of saving the power talisman expert or saving the little girl.

"At first glance, this is indeed a very cruel choice, and it doesn't seem right to save either one.

"But think about it carefully, in order to make this choice so cruel, you deliberately set up many premises, such as the power cabin of the starship has a problem, the space and resources on the starship can only save one more person, time is running out, and it is too late Prepare a second starship, blah blah blah.

"What if these problems don't exist?

"What if, with the advancement of technology, we can refine a starship with larger space and more efficient resource recycling, and take both of them away?

"What if our power cabin could be more stable and have advanced self-testing and repairing methods?

"What if there is a mysterious 'inheritance of wisdom' technology that allows the power rune expert to transfer all his wisdom to the little girl?

"If the 'human virtualization' technology becomes popular, when the power rune expert is really unable to evacuate physically, he will pull out his own soul, drill into a ring on the little girl's finger, and use the 'grandfather' Form together, okay?

"In short, one of the essential differences between humans and beasts is tools and technology. I am a craftsman and I believe in technology. Of course technology is not omnipotent, but the advancement of technology can indeed solve many problems. Let us avoid Countless cruel and painful choices have made the whole world more civilized and beautiful.

"This is my answer."

Li Yao's eyes were clear but unwavering.

Di Feiwen's eyes showed a trace of pity, he laughed dumbly, shook his head and said: "Moral? Technology? Is this the answer of the adults? It's really...too wishful thinking.

"I have come to Xinghai Border for so long, and I have gradually understood your way of dealing with people and the philosophy you insist on wholeheartedly. Sometimes I really feel that you cultivators are like ignorant and innocent children, lying in the temporary warmth and safety. In the lair, I don't know the darkness of the outside world and the dangers of people's hearts, but I think that your little "persistence" and "strength" can solve all problems.

"When immortal cultivators like us tell you the cruelty of the outside world and the rules for surviving in a cruel world with good intentions, you always cover your ears, 'I don't listen, I don't listen', thinking that as long as you insist foolishly , the dark world will disappear, and the cruel law will be reversed.

"Let's face it, both morality and technology have limits, but the cruelty and cruelty of the dark universe have no limits, there will always be problems that you can't solve, and you will always have to make extremely painful and cruel choices!

"Innocent children have to grow up, develop a steel frame and a hard heart, and learn how to survive in a cannibalistic universe!

"You are still staying in the lair, in the relatively stable and safe edge of the star sea, you can naturally talk about some useless things, but believe me, when you go to the center of the star sea and experience some cruel choices that morality and technology can never solve , maybe you will become the next Black Star Emperor Wu Yingqi, and the Star Federation will become the next true human empire.

"If there is any difference between the Xingyao Federation at that time and the current True Human Empire, it will only be colder, more cruel, and more domineering! Otherwise, it is not worthy to replace the True Human Empire and continue to be in the cosmic slaughterhouse." fight!"

Seeing Di Feiwen's distorted face and stern voice, Li Yao suddenly burst out laughing.

His eyes diverged, and he was a little distracted.

Di Feiwen was slightly taken aback, very rarely annoyed, and said in a deep voice, "Why are you laughing, my lord?"

"It's nothing, nothing, I suddenly thought of a joke that wasn't very funny a long time ago."

Li Yao shrugged his shoulders, "Don't talk to me, just continue."

"a joke……"

Di Feiwen frowned, "Is it related to what we are discussing?"

"Uh, maybe it doesn't matter, it's just a sudden thought, I can't help it, I'm really sorry."

Li Yao simply squatted on the ground, tilted his neck and said, "This joke is about the solution when encountering ligers and tigers.

"In other words, most ligers and tigers like to attack people from behind, biting the main artery at the back of a person's neck, one blow can be fatal!

"So, if an ordinary person encounters a liger-type monster by chance in the wild, don't panic, turn around and run away; Kneel before it, turn yourself into its minions and slaves, and you can escape. These are all useless, and you will definitely die.

"The correct approach should be to face the ligers and tigers head-on, widen your eyes, bark your teeth and claws, and growl loudly. If there are sticks or branches around you, pick them up and swing them hard at the ligers and tigers, even viciously. Poke at it, .

"While poking, you also have to roar with the greatest strength of your life, and say some bold words, such as 'fuck your mother's stinky tiger, come and eat me if you have the guts', and so on, let's play freely anyway."

Di Feiwen blinked his eyes for a long time inexplicably, and his brows became more and more wrinkled: "Wait, what your lord just said is an 'ordinary person' who has no power to restrain a chicken. He met a liger-like monster in the 'wild'. right?"

Li Yao nodded: "Yes!"

Di Feiwen was puzzled: "Then, can you escape from the tiger's mouth by doing this, just relying on branches and... shrews?"

"It's not."

Li Yao said, "But at least, this way you can die with more dignity!"

Di Feiwen: "..."

Li Yao: "Uh, isn't it a bit cold? I'd say it's not a very funny joke."

Di Feiwen: "Don't be impatient, my lord, my subordinates are carefully figuring out the jokes in it."

Li Yao: "Actually, there's nothing funny about it. I just suddenly thought that if this dark universe and all the powerful beings in it, whether it's the Pangu civilization, the extraterritorial celestial demons, or other weird alien races in the starry sky, it's just one, no, yes A group of ligers and tigers, and our human civilization is the unlucky ghost who encountered it in the wild.

"Then, what you cultivators consider more may be how to survive in front of them by any means, abandon everything, distort everything, and even give up the most essential things of human beings, and change everything from the inside to the outside. 'form live.

"What we cultivators consider more is how to die with more dignity."
