40,000 Years of Cultivation

"The carefree Utopia you mentioned exists, right on the'Eternal Light'."

Chu Zhixiao said to Li Yao, "The environment is beautiful, the space is spacious, there is never the worry of lack of resources, and there is no trouble from the invasion of gods, people can do whatever they want to do, no one needs to be on the front line like a soldier bee. No one needs to work endlessly in a dark and humid mine like a'worker bee'. All the food and energy they need are obtained from a huge machine called a'recycling machine'. The residents of "Eternal Light" all believe that it is an inexhaustible existence similar to the "perpetual motion machine". They have never doubted the truth of the "recycling machine" and do not know that behind the "recycling machine" is only the leader of the Holy League. Time's "feeding" only.

"Living in such a world, of course, is extremely happy, without the slightest pain, you can enjoy the truth, goodness and beauty of human nature, but the price? The price is that compared to a normal starship of the same size, the Eternal Bright can only carry about One-tenth of the crew, and it consumes five times more food and energy than the same type of starship, that is to say, enough to maintain dozens of starships and dozens of times the minimum consumption of resources for the population, a steady supply Only on the Eternal Light can we maintain such an illusory truth, goodness and beauty.

"If you want the entire Holy League and even the entire universe to live the lives of the residents of the Eternal Bright, how can it be possible?

"More importantly, if so many resources are invested and a way of continuous improvement is found in the illusory light, these resources are considered worthwhile, but the experimental results of the Eternal Light are not the case.

"If we say that hundreds of years ago, the first generation of residents on the Eternal Light had not forgotten their dignity and mission as the'last human', and they continued to study and develop in the field of technology and cultivation, trying to one day clear the planet. Toxic fog, pollution, and radiation have brought life to the planets, and if human civilization can expand again, then as the old residents die, new residents are born, and generations of residents indulge in the doting of the "circulatory machine". They He gradually lost his lofty ideals and enterprising spirit, and became indulged in trivial matters and ridiculous hypocrisy.

"They are becoming more and more indifferent to the outside world, becoming more and more accustomed to everything on the Eternal Light, and even wanting to be difficult to fill, and constantly demanding higher levels of enjoyment.

"The first generation of residents can tolerate a living area of ​​ten square meters per capita, as well as five days of synthetic food plus two days of natural food, and they are also willing to spend most of the day studying and working, exploring higher-level technologies and magical powers; And hundreds of years later, their extravagant children and grandchildren require a living area of ​​at least 50 square meters per capita, at least two delicious natural foods a day, and a large number of nutritious synthetic foods, just because the taste is weak. They were wasted nonchalantly!

"At this time, their highly degraded brains are immersed in meaningless entertainment. They have long forgotten the importance of study and work, and cannot even think about such a simple problem-the space and resources on board are limited. No matter how it is recycled, it will maintain at most the same level as in the past. How can so much space and resources be created for them to enjoy?

"Do you know what is the most important issue on the Eternal Bright now? These parasites, who pretend to be cultivators and civilized citizens, are discussing the difference between physical **** and psychological sex, and those who are physically male , But those who consider themselves women are eligible to enter the women’s toilets; and, should pets be treated as legal residents on the Eternal Light and enjoy the same rights as them, even if there are more kittens and puppies, they can’t Hunt and kill at will!

"Haha, it's ridiculous, the outside world is full of wars, and demons are everywhere. These parasites living in dreams are still concerned about men's access to women's toilets and pets! Such a'country of cultivators' is so'beautiful', but again How illusory and fragile! As long as the Supreme Master decides to stop supplying energy and food to the Eternal Illumination today, tomorrow, after midnight, this dreamland will collapse and transform from a paradise of truth, goodness and beauty to **** on earth. These parasites will All become corpses in three days, and their corpses will be eaten by their pets in ten days.

"What I mean by giving this example is to tell you that there is no seemingly beautiful ideal country. Human beings are an imperfect creation. We need the restraint and painful stimulation of order at any time. Without order, we Our desires will be infinitely magnified, devouring ourselves and the entire universe; without painful stimulation, we will not be able to move forward, and we will be transformed from a machine that transforms the universe into a ridiculous, shameful and hateful parasite.

"I know how much pain I have endured, and how many cruel battles I have experienced, but this is exactly the meaning of my existence. I would rather live the life I am now than as a'killing goddess, captain of the Yasha squad, and major'. And to live, I don’t want to live on the Eternal Light, being a muddy, fat parasite!"

As Chu Zhixiao said, he patted the spider chariot's head vigorously, as if to take these words deeply into the spider chariot's crystal brain.

She did it.

Li Yao was stunned by Chu Zhixiao's remarks, and was even more stunned by the truth of such a large-scale "humanity laboratory", and there was a shocking turmoil in the depths of his soul.

Using dozens of ships, perhaps hundreds of starships, to spend hundreds of years, generation after generation of human life, to carry out a large-scale "humanity experiment", this, this matter has gone far beyond the "evil" Li Yao didn't know how to evaluate the limit.

And the brainwashing of Chu Zhixiao was not like Li Yao had thought in the past to cut and twist the brain forcibly, but it was "presenting facts and reasoning", with a taste that made her willing.

Terrible, terrible!

"Doesn't this kind of experiment consume a lot of resources?"

Li Yao couldn't help asking, "What is it for?"

"In order to better grasp human nature, formulate the next development strategy of Shengmeng."

Chu Zhixiao took it for granted, "It's a huge holy alliance, countless worlds, countless planets and starships, and hundreds of millions of people. If you don't conduct small-scale experiments to determine the effectiveness of your strategy, it will be irresponsible, right?"

Li Yao was speechless, thinking for a long time, and said: "However, such an experiment is false after all. The residents of the Eternal Bright don’t know the truth of the outside world, so they are complacent and degenerate. If they know part of the truth, they have established a certain Such ideals, perhaps they will use sufficient resources to continuously develop their civilization?"

"Even if they can develop their civilization, what about it?"

Chu Zhixiao said, "Even if the inhabitants of the Eternal Light can break their shell, we still cannot break the shell that covers our universe. We are all trapped in the shell, trapped in a ship... In an unimaginable starship, no matter how large this'cosmic starship' is, space and resources are still limited. We still need to suppress emotions, desires and free will, and be protected by absolute order. To survive for a long time, any impulsive act that seems to boil with blood is to accelerate death."

"Me, I still don't quite understand."

Li Yao said timidly, "Why can't we break the outer shell of this ‘Space Starship’, maybe there is endless space, resources and...hope outside?"

"Unbreakable."

Chu Zhixiao said indifferently, "Hundreds of thousands of years ago, the gods had already tried it. Even if the outer shell was really broken, the truth outside was only a hundred times darker, and even more vicious enemies."

Li Yaoqi said, "Major, how do you know?"

"The Supreme Master told us."

Chu Zhixiao said, "The Supreme Master said that the gods hundreds of thousands of years ago, the Pangu Civilization Alliance, were precisely to fight against the most ferocious enemies outside the universe, that they fell one after another, fell asleep, and saved us. One hundred thousand years of peace, these enemies even feed on human emotions and desires. Once they smell our emotions and desires, they will invade in pervasively and completely exterminate us. This is also the main reason why we must suppress emotions and desires. One."

Li Yao was stunned for a while, and said, "Is the enemy outside the universe an extraterritorial demon?"

"No, compared with these enemies, the extraterritorial celestial devil is nothing short of a witch."

Chu Zhixiao said, "Extraterrestrial demon is an enemy we can understand and fight against, but the real enemy from outside the universe is something we cannot understand and cannot fight. We can only hide and hide deeply in the dark. Hold your breath, cover your mouth, minimize your heartbeat and pulse, don't think about anything, and don't do anything, wait, wait quietly."

Li Yao was silent for a moment, and said, "What are we waiting for?"

"Waiting for the awakening of the gods."

Chu Zhixiao said, "The Supreme Master told us that the gods are thinking about strategies to deal with enemies outside the universe in their deep sleep, and they must be able to think of it. We only need to wait for the gods to wake up and provide them before then. With sufficient resources, you can build yourself into the strongest army. At that time, you can obey the orders of the gods-this day, not far away."

"what……"

Li Yao endured it for a long time, but couldn't help but ask, "Major, do you believe what the Supreme Master said?"

Chu Zhixiao stared at Li Yao's crystal eyes in a daze, and he saw Li Yao's heart flutter, and then he lit a cigarette again.

"Believe."

The woman with the fate of "Killing the Goddess" said quietly, "In addition to believing in the gods, what choice do we have?"
