40,000 Years of Cultivation

Di Feiwen was dumbfounded, and didn't know how to refute it for a long time.

His dilemma logic has always been unfavorable, but he did not expect to be dragged down by Li Yao's savage joke!

He settled down, sorted out his chaotic thoughts, and said, "If you stay with the green hills, you don’t have to worry about no firewood. Survival is the most important thing! In any case, survive first, even if you become unrecognizable, even if you’re a ghost. 'What about things like that? There is hope of a comeback when you live. It is not too late for a gentleman to avenge him for ten years. He will try his courage, hide his minions, endure humiliation, and one day he will be able to beat this tiger to death. Then he will change back. Isn't it all right?"

"No, once a lot of mistakes are made, they will never be able to make up; once many things are changed, they will never be changed back. Even if the'ghost' can really kill the tiger, it can only become the second big tiger at best, never again. You can’t change back into human beings.”

Li Yao looked at the picturesque red flag under the mountain and whispered, "There is always something more important than survival, right? Or the example just now, if you drag your children and daughters to migrate in the wild and meet a liger beast, then you There are two options.

"Either you stand in front of the tiger, flaunt your teeth and claws, yell, attract the tiger's attention, or even rush up to fight the tiger bravely, try to buy time for your children to run first-but they are too young to be destined to run. After you are eaten by the tiger, they will be eaten by the tiger one by one.

"In other words, everything you do is useless, at best it will make the family die more dignified.

"The second option, you abandon your wives and children and run by yourself, and even lift up a pair of children and throw them into the tiger's blood bowl. You are an adult, and you are faster. Take advantage of the tiger to slowly enjoy the tender meat of your children. At that time, you still have a 1% chance that you can live the rest of your life.

"According to the so-called'rationality' of your immortal cultivators, naturally the second choice can ensure that the interests of the entire migration team are maximized. Anyway, everyone is going to die. Let your children make small contributions to help you stay in the green mountains. It's very reasonable!

"But, you ask yourself, if you make the second choice and send your children into a tiger's mouth to delay time, can you really change it back?

"Even if you have discovered the ruins of the wild after the rest of your life in the tiger’s mouth, you have practiced ancient magic techniques to kill all 1,000 tigers and 10,000 tigers in the wild, and you have found more than a hundred beauties and gave birth to hundreds of thousands of children. ——Is it changed back, can it be the same as in the past?"

This time, it was Di Feiwen's turn to remain silent.

Li Yao smiled, and said: "What's more, the probability of a tiger’s mouth for the rest of his life is not as high as 1%. You also said that the universe is an endless dark forest with ligers, tigers, monsters, and snakes. There are countless beasts and all kinds of cruel and tyrannical beasts. Even if you use this despicable method to escape the attack of a big tiger, there is a 99% chance that you will immediately encounter another more brutal and terrifying monster, right?

"Just think about it. Compared to the short history of mankind and the three thousand worlds we have explored, the entire universe is close to infinity in terms of time and space.

"In the infinite time and space, there will definitely be countless powerful existences that are far more powerful than us. We are completely unable to resist, even unimaginable. They are not gods and demons, but the gods and demons who created them, and even the gods and demons who created them The gods and demons!

"For any civilization, the ultimate destruction is an event of extremely high probability, and the hope of'immortality' is extremely slim, close to zero.

"So, what is the use of you humbly and ugly to change yourself, turning yourself into a ghost, a beast, a cockroach, and a locust, so that you can escape the dark forest and never die?

"No way, facing the vast universe, we are just like ordinary people facing liger beasts in the wasteland. Fighting is death, fleeing is also dead, and screaming at it **** death is death. , So scared to **** off and even send the blood of the closest relatives to death, since no one has died in life since ancient times, why not die with dignity?

"Just say that your real human empire, under the guidance of Xiuxian Avenue, made yourself so ugly, how, is it useful? Fighting for a thousand years, even a small covenant alliance has not been resolved, and the fortune of the country is in jeopardy!

"Even if you really defeat the Covenant Alliance, you may still have to face the double invasion of Pangu civilization and the extraterrestrial demons. Even if you change yourself beyond recognition and transform yourself into a'steel cockroach' that is completely different from the past humans, even Pangu Civilization and extraterritorial demon were defeated by you, and then?

"The universe is infinite, and the more powerful forces and existence are also endless. There will always be a civilization of gods and demons that can't even solve the'steel cockroach', and you will be completely wiped out in an understatement!"

Di Feiwen looked straight, thought for a long time, took a deep breath and said: "I thought that adults didn't understand the darkness of the universe. I was really wrong. I didn't expect adults to be more pessimistic than us immortal cultivators. It can penetrate the darkness of the universe.

"We immortal cultivators still have extravagant hopes, thinking that as long as we struggle hard, work hard, and follow the laws of the universe to change ourselves, we can survive in this cruel world.

"Unexpectedly, the adults would completely deprive them of this faint hope, and lose all the desire to survive. They just think about how to die more vigorously. The subordinates are really... speechless."

"You were wrong again."

Li Yao smiled, showing his white teeth, "Of course we cultivators can see the darkness of the universe, but we can even see the faint light hidden in the darkness. Although the ultimate destruction is a highly probable event, we should follow our path. , Maybe it can last longer than your avenue of cultivation!"

"Oh?"

Di Feiwen's eyes flashed, "Where does the light come from?"

Li Yao said: "In the past, I also fell into the dead end of the so-called'Dark Forest', and found it extremely difficult to crack.'Ordinary people' like us wanted to wander on this wasteland full of liger monsters. It's really hard to get to the sky.

"However, when I think of this joke about dying with more dignity, there is a vague feeling of ‘epidemic’.

"Who said that we are walking alone in the dark forest, who said that there are only ‘liger beasts’ around us? No, the universe is huge, but we are not alone!"

Di Feiwen narrowed his eyes: "I don't understand..."

"It's very simple. The so-called'liger beast' here refers to an alien civilization that is stronger than our human civilization and is full of malicious intentions to destroy us, right?"

Li Yao said excitedly, "But who stipulated that these alien civilizations must be full of malice, and they must eliminate the wolves, tigers, leopards, monsters, and monsters?

"Yes, according to the law of the dark forest where the weak eat the strong and the winner is king, these alien civilizations should eliminate or enslave us, and kill one billionth of the threats in the infants.

"But what if they also want to'die with more dignity'?

"You see, since it is a civilization that is far stronger and more advanced than ours, its logical thinking ability must be far better than ours. Then, even I can think,'No matter how hard you struggle, you can't escape death. It's better to keep the original appearance. And the most precious things, dying decently and vigorously', how could these civilizations not think of it?

"If a highly developed alien civilization chooses to die with more dignity, it may extend the olive branch of friendship and communication to all directions, to educate, help and protect those relatively weak civilizations, then it will no longer be a liger. The monster-like beasts have become teachers and comrades who are worthy of our trust and can fight side by side.

"The sea of ​​stars is endless, and there are thousands of civilizations. If only one or two of them decides to die with more dignity, they will naturally be swallowed by the surrounding darkness soon, but if ten, one hundred, or one thousand civilizations are all Choose'to die with more dignity', choose to communicate with each other and help each other instead of deceiving and devouring each other. Maybe everyone will not die, but it will completely dispel the darkness and make the universe incredibly bright?"

Di Feiwen looked at Li Yao with a look of "caring for children with mental disabilities."

Li Yao ignored him and said, "The current human civilization is still too weak. It is difficult to completely burn down the entire "dark forest" with our own efforts, but I never believe that we are fighting alone, let alone believe. We are the only civilization in the universe that considers'dignity' more important than'survival'. In other words, in my definition, the so-called'civilization' is to protect something more important than survival!

"Perhaps, where we can’t see, the dark forest is already burning, and what we have to do is to join the ranks of the'arsonists' to ignite the most critical spark and make the fire completely unstoppable. The extent of-who said that it must be impossible?

"However, if there really exists such a Star Sea civilization that wants to die with more dignity, the'arsonist alliance', joining this alliance also requires certain conditions, at least I don't feel like your immortal cultivators. Evolve towards the direction of'steel cockroaches, armed locusts', and you will be eligible to become a member of this alliance.

"That's what I want to say, no matter what look you look at me, it doesn't matter. Anyway, I will follow my own path and follow the road of cultivation to the end until I rush out of the star sea and out of the small three thousand people of human civilization. The world, go to a more expansive universe, look for those'arsonists', tell them the dignity and pride of human civilization, and tell them that even if our power and technology are far inferior to them, we have as powerful and noble as them. The soul, when the ultimate destruction comes, we can also give up all the courage, wisdom and will to protect our most precious things and fight to the end in an upright and vigorous manner!"
