Forty Millenniums of Cultivation

Chapter 3120 Painful Lesson!

All the ghosts of Yuanshi civilization froze.

"What did you say?"

The female captain said in disbelief, "You came here through all kinds of hardships and dangers, and finally passed many tests. Isn't it just to get the inheritance of the ancient times? This is the only hope to save your civilization, but you want to... reject?"

"Yes, I refuse."

Li Yao became calmer and more relaxed, and said with a smile, "Don't get me wrong, I didn't put the life and death of the entire civilization at my fingertips on a whim; nor did I play hard-to-get, refuse-to-give, and deliberately go to 'the correct answer' "Come on; I really think that the so-called 'immemorial inheritance' is not good for my civilization, or my civilization is not ready to accept this overly generous gift, and the time has not yet come!"

"Why?"

The female captain looked at Li Yao intently, "Can you explain?"

"From the very beginning, I have been wondering what the real purpose of this 'ultimate test' is. What exactly are you trying to test and measure? Is it really such a black and white concept of 'justice' and 'evil'?"

Li Yao shook his head and said, "No, I don't think so. On the road of civilization moving forward bravely, the concepts of good and evil are changing every moment, and there is far more than one way to save civilization. Who can say I must be right, always right?

"It's like in human civilization, there are personalities like me and Ding Lingdang, but there are also Long Yangjun, Bai Boss, Li Jialing, Li Linghai, Lei Chenghu, Guo Chunfeng... There are thousands of different personalities, and everyone upholds Different philosophies temper different Dao Hearts, and they all strive for the rise of the entire civilization in their own ways. Am I sure to be more correct than them and better able to save civilization? Even if everyone’s character and philosophy are different If I become like me, there is only one voice, one idea, one way, even if it seems to be a bright and righteous way, will the world be better than it is now?

"Even I dare not say that myself.

"That's probably why you started saying 'there's no right answer.

"I think, even after 30,000 years of suffering and constant reflection in the life of fleeing, the surviving Yuanshi clan will not agree that their ancestors did something wrong, right? It's like there are 'cultivators' and 'immortals' among human beings." Similarly, you must have two factions or even many factions. There are always some people who think that the ancestors were not wrong. The original "Great Extermination Order" and the "Sun Line of Defense Plan" should be more ruthless.

"So, 'good and evil' and 'good and evil' are not what you value most at all. When you reach the level of 'quasi-god-level civilization', your Dao Xin has already surpassed the concepts of 'good and evil' and 'good and evil'. Maybe you also I know that there will never be a way out if you dig into the horns of the issue of good and evil.

"What you care about is not good and evil, but the attitude of a civilization in the face of sudden expansion or power falling from the sky.

"From the beginning of the past on Earth to the struggle and rise of the Yuanshi Clan in the universe, you have hinted countless times to me that any control and use of power is not free. Secretly marked the price for each kind of power, the more you control and use the powerful power, the more you need to pay an extremely heavy or even tragic price. If you are too obsessed with powerful power, instead of becoming the master of power, you will become a master of power. A slave to power.

"Mammoths and saber-toothed tigers seem to have received the blessing of evolution, controlled the unrivaled power in the environment at that time, and became the overlord of the roost, but the price was complacency and lost the motivation to continue to evolve. In the end, when human beings this When the 'mutants' appeared, they were wiped out in a matter of seconds.

"The same tragedy also happened to alien races in the starry sky like 'Void Hunter' and 'Hill Cancer'. They originated from the blessed land with abundant psychic energy. Their strength is far more than ten million times that of saber-toothed tigers and mammoths. The price they paid It was even more painful. If it wasn't for the flood, they would never have known what true wisdom and civilization looked like.

"And what about the people on earth who have entered the industrialized and informationized society? They seem to have mastered advanced technology and superior civilizations that are impossible for all other earth creatures to master, but at the cost of losing self-control and turning the self-destructive tendency deep in their genes Inspired to the extreme, the first world war, the second world war, and even the thermonuclear war that turned the atmosphere into a black curtain and the earth into a wasteland. the price.

"What about you descendants of the earthlings, the Yuanshi clan? Of course, you have paid a price, and it is a heavier price than the earthlings, saber-toothed tigers, mammoths, void hunters, and mountain crabs...

"It's too fast. Your civilization evolves too fast. You are not natives in the center of the cosmic sea, but 'mutant species' invaded by aliens. Having been in contact with psionic energy, the incomparably abundant and intense psionic energy in the heavens and paradises everywhere is also a kind of power that "falls from the sky and is completely free" to you?

"With the assistance of this 'completely free power', you have completed the transformation from ordinary civilization to quasi-god-level civilization in just tens of thousands of years, and you have lost yourself in the overpowering power without exception.

"At the moment when I just had a glimpse, I also scanned your social form and technological development, and found that you are a rather deformed civilization with a lot of faults. In some fields, especially the field of bloody military technology, you have developed to the peak. Even to the point of madness, but in other fields related to humanities, legal system and morality, you are not much higher than the earth era, and even because of the coldness and darkness of the star sea, you have regressed to the feudal and tribal level of the earth's middle ages. The tearing away from humanities is really weird.

"I think, the force that used to erode Void Hunters, Hill Cancers and other alien races in the starry sky, and keep the lower civilizations in the slave society forever, has also begun to erode your primordial civilization?

"So, why did you perform so badly on the road to the rise of civilization, why did you issue the "Great Extinction Order"; why did you forget the lessons of the earth era after massacring most of the civilization, and launched a brutal civil war again; Why are you throwing out the 'Sun Defense Project'? It is meaningless to blame some people for their low moral standards. The root cause is that you are lost in forces beyond your control; your expansion rate is too fast , so that the condensed morality can't keep up with the progress of technology; you are too greedy, trying to control what you can't control, and you have achieved hundreds of millions of years of glory in just a few tens of thousands of years.

"Whether you can keep a clear head and make a rational judgment in the face of the overwhelming power and deadly temptation is what you really focus on, right?"

The female captain listened quietly. Hearing this, she and all the ghosts of the Yuanshi clan finally showed expressions of incomparable shame, incomparable remorse and incomparable pain.

The female captain's lips were trembling. She didn't know whether there was no corresponding answer in the pre-set procedures, or some kind of true feelings that were higher than the procedures, so she remained silent.

"The new generation of human civilization in our Pangu universe is lucky."

Li Yao's smile became brighter and brighter, "Although we are also a man-made civilization by chance, even though our 'father civilization', the Pangu and Nuwa tribes, have left us rich heritage, but in a very long time For a period of time, these legacies were buried under the yellow sand and drifted in the sea of ​​stars. We mainly rely on our own hands to overcome obstacles and thorns. We have come all the way to today, not only developing advanced technology, but also cultivating powerful supernatural powers. , the people also have a sound body and mind, a solid moral concept, and a general consensus can be reached between the strong and the wise. The entire civilization is aggressive, vibrant, and full of fearless hope.

"Under such circumstances, we have discovered the remains of the Pangu civilization one after another, because the gap between the Pangu civilization and us is not too great, and the relic technology is found sporadically, which will not have much impact on our social form and moral philosophy. Big impact, even if there are some subversive things, we can slowly digest and absorb them.

"It can be said that such heritage is beneficial to human civilization at this moment.

"However, what about the 'Prime Ancient Inheritance' from Yuanshi civilization? According to you, it is at least hundreds of thousands of years ahead of us. It is so advanced that it can make our civilization jump to a quasi-god-level civilization all at once. Realm, hehe, it’s too exaggerated. Just as it is impossible for an ordinary person to become a Nascent Soul powerhouse by taking elixir, I can’t imagine an ordinary civilization suddenly becoming a quasi-god-level civilization. What is it? look.

"To use another inappropriate analogy, it's like a poor man who suddenly won tens of millions in the lottery. You think he really has enough knowledge, ability and will to control this windfall and not be in the middle of material desires. Lost yourself in the money world?

"Although they were mediocre, they were considered happy. Ordinary people who lived a simple life, after getting rich overnight, their personalities changed drastically. They were eroded by their own desires, squandered, and then returned to poverty after doing anything wrong. They couldn't accept this ending and instead fell into poverty. I have also heard a lot of things like falling into the abyss of more pain.

"Even myself, who was originally a healthy, sunny and cheerful young man, is because I have cultivated to the state of distraction in just a hundred years and possessed too much power, which has caused me to 'slowly go crazy' and seriously damage my brain. , Wisdom fluctuates, and even suffers from the problem of split personality, this is a painful lesson!"
