The ghosts of the original civilization are all frozen.
"What did you say?"
The female captain was hard to find a channel. "You came here through all kinds of difficulties and dangers, and finally passed many tests. Isn''t it just for the sake of inheriting Taigu? This is the only hope to save your civilization, but you have to... Refuse?"
"Yes, I refuse."
Li Yao became more and more calm and relaxed. He said with a smile, "don''t get me wrong. I''m not on the spur of the moment. I''m going to put all my eggs in one basket with the life and death of the whole civilization; What''s more, it''s not a game of playing hard to get and refusing to meet, deliberately trying to get the right answer; I sincerely believe that the so-called "archaic inheritance" is not good for my civilization. In other words, my civilization is not ready to accept this too generous gift. The time has not come yet! "
"Why?"
The female captain was staring at Li Yao, "can you explain it?"
"From the very beginning, I have been thinking about what the real purpose of this" ultimate test "is and what you want to test and measure. Is it really such a black-and-white concept as" justice "and" evil "
Li Yaoyao shook his head and said, "no, I don''t think so. On the road of civilization marching forward bravely, the concepts of good and evil and good and evil are changing all the time, and there are far more than one way to save civilization. Who can say that he must be right and will always be right?
"It''s like in human civilization, there are characters like Ding lingdang and I, but there are also characters like long Yangjun, Bai Laoda, Li Jialing, Li Linghai, Lei Chenghu, Guo Chunfeng... There are thousands of different personalities. They hold different ideas, refine different minds, and fight for the rise of the whole civilization in their own way. Am I more correct than them, Better to save civilization? Even if all people''s personalities and ideas become me, with only one voice, one idea and one road, even if it seems to be a bright and just Road, will the world be better than it is now?
"Even I dare not say that.
"I''m afraid that''s why you start to say" there''s no right answer. ".
"I don''t think that even after 30000 years of suffering and constant reflection, the surviving Yuanshi people would agree that their ancestors did something wrong? Just like there are "practitioners" and "immortals" among human beings, you must have two or even many schools. There are always some people who think that the ancestors are right. The original "order of mass extinction" and "solar defense plan" should be more ruthless.
"Therefore," good and evil "and" good and evil "are not what you value most. When you reach the level of" quasi divine civilization ", your mind of Tao has already gone beyond the concepts of" good and evil "and" good and evil ". Maybe you also know that there is no way out for you to get to the top of the problem of good and evil.
"What you care about is not the good and evil, the good and evil, but the attitude of a civilization to the sudden expansion or falling power.
"From the past events of the earth at the beginning to the struggle and rise of the Yuanshi clan in the cosmic sea, you have hinted to me countless times that there is no cost in the control and application of any power. In the dark, there has been" the way of heaven ", which indicates the price of each power. The more you control and use the powerful power, The more you have to pay a very heavy and even tragic price. If you are too obsessed with powerful power, you will not become the master of power, but the slave of power.
"Mammoths and Saber Toothed tigers seem to have been blessed by evolution, controlled the incomparable power in the environment at that time, and became the overlord of the dominant side, but at the cost of being complacent and losing the power to continue to evolve. Finally, when the" mutant "of human beings appeared, they were exterminated in a short time.
"The same tragedy also happened to the alien stars like" void Hunter "and" mountain cancer ". They originated from the blessed cave with abundant spiritual power. Their strength is far more than that of Saber Toothed tigers and mammoths, and their cost is even more painful. If it were not for the flood tide, they would never know what the real wisdom and civilization would be like.
"What about the earth people who have entered the industrialization and information society? They seem to control the advanced technology and excellent civilization that all other earth creatures can''t master, but at the cost of losing self-control, and stimulating the tendency of self destruction deep in the gene to the extreme, World War I, World War II, and even the thermonuclear war that turned the atmosphere into a black curtain and the earth into a piece of Wasteland - World War III, These are the price that people on Earth pay for their strength.
"You descendants of the earth people, Yuanshi people? Of course, you also pay a price, and it''s more expensive than Earth people, Saber Toothed tigers, mammoths, void hunters, mountain cancer, etc.
"Too fast, your civilization is evolving too fast. You are not the aborigines in the middle of the cosmic sea, but the" mutant species "of foreign invasion. Before you came to the middle of the cosmic sea, you had never been so large-scale and deep in contact with the psionic powers. There is no abundant and strong psionic power in all the blessed places. For you, is it a kind of" falling from the sky? ", The power of "completely free"?
"With the help of this" completely free power ", you have completed the transformation from ordinary civilization to quasi divine civilization in just a few tens of thousands of years, and without exception, you are lost in too powerful power.
"Just now, I scanned your social formation and technological development, and found that you are a rather deformed civilization with a lot of faults. In some areas, especially in the military technology field of bloody killing, you have developed to the level of extreme and even madness. However, in others, it is related to humanity, In the field of legal system and morality, you are not much higher than the earth''s age. Even because of the cold and darkness of the sea of stars, you have regressed to the feudal and tribal level of the earth in the middle ages. This tearing of technology and humanity is really strange.
"I think that the power that once eroded the alien groups such as void hunter and mountain cancer, and kept the lower civilization in the slave society forever, also began to erode your original civilization?
"So, why did you behave so badly on the road to the rise of civilization? Why did you issue the order of mass extinction; Why did you forget the lessons of the earth age and launch another brutal civil war after the slaughter of most civilizations; Why did you throw out the solar defense plan? It''s meaningless to blame someone''s moral standards. The root of it is that you are lost in the power you can''t control; Your expansion speed is too fast to keep up with the progress of technology; You are too greedy, trying to control what you can''t control. You can achieve hundreds of millions of years of glory in just a few thousand years.
"In the face of great power and fatal temptation, whether you can keep a clear mind and make rational judgments - that''s what you really focus on, right?"
The female captain listened quietly. When she heard this, she and all the ghosts of Yuanshi clan finally showed their expressions of shame, remorse and pain.
The female captain''s lips were trembling. She didn''t know whether there was no corresponding answer in the preset procedure, or whether there was some kind of truth higher than the procedure. She was silent.
"The new generation of human civilization in our Pangu universe is lucky."
Li Yao''s smile is more and more brilliant. "Although we are also a man-made civilization by chance, and our" father civilization ", the Pangu and Nuwa people, have also left us rich heritages, for a long time, these heritages have been buried under the yellow sand and drifting in the sea of stars. We mainly rely on our own hands to cut through the thorns, All the way to today, not only advanced technology has been developed and powerful supernatural powers have been cultivated, but also the people have sound body and mind, solid moral concepts, and a general consensus can be reached between the strong and the wise. The whole civilization is active, vigorous and full of fearless hope.
"In this case, we have found the remains of the Pangu civilization one after another, because the gap between the Pangu civilization and us is not too big, and the relics technology is sporadic, which will not have a great impact on our social form and moral concept. Even if there are some subversive things, we can slowly digest and absorb them.
"It can be said that such a legacy is beneficial to human civilization at this moment.
"However, what about the" archaic inheritance "from the original civilization? According to you, it''s something that''s at least several hundred thousand years ahead of us. It''s so advanced that it can make our civilization leap to the level of quasi divine civilization. Hehe, it''s too exaggerated, just like an ordinary person can''t become a strong yuan baby by taking the elixir, I can''t imagine what it would be like for an ordinary civilization to become a quasi divine civilization.
"Another inappropriate example is that a poor man suddenly won tens of millions of lottery tickets - do you think he really has enough knowledge, ability and will to control this windfall without losing himself in the money world full of material desires?
"Ordinary people, who were mediocre but happy, became rich overnight. They were eroded by their own desires, squandered and acted recklessly, and then returned to poverty. They could not accept such an outcome. Instead, they fell into a more painful abyss. I have heard a lot of such things.
"Even myself, originally a healthy and bright young man, is just because in a short period of one hundred years, I have been distracted and possessed too much power. Now I''m" chronically possessed ". My brain is seriously damaged, my intelligence is high and low, and I even suffer from the problem of split personality. All these are painful lessons!"
