40,000 Years of Cultivation

Li Yao understood.

He couldn't help but want to laugh.

In the era when the "Solar Defense Project" was thrown out and implemented, the Yuanshi clan was a group of despicable and shameless guys who had no bottom line in order to survive. Perhaps they once played out "in order to preserve the fire of civilization and the hope of the next generation". This is a high-sounding banner, but he did not expect that the blood 30,000 years later would hate their actions.

The older generation behaved misbehaving under the banner of "It's all for your own good", but the new generation didn't appreciate it, and even did it completely. Through the ages, have such things been rare?

Moreover, the new generation of Yuanshi clan drifted away in the dark sea of ​​stars, struggling to survive, like a dog who lost their homes in panic, this kind of taste is not as good as death, it really makes them have reason to hate their ancestors.

Li Yao knows too well that a lone starship is drifting in the sea of ​​stars. There is no way to go before, and there are chasing soldiers behind. The resources are depleted day by day, and there is no taste of hope-the last flagship of the Xinghai Republic, the "Firefly" in the past. , It was drifting for a whole thousand years, almost completely degenerate and destroyed, until it encountered the Xingyao Federation, it was lucky to be redeemed.

The Firefly wandered for only a thousand years, and almost completed the transformation from a "cultivator" to a "cultivator" on its own. After the defeated soldiers of the Yuanshi civilization destroyed its home, it went into exile under the pressure of the flood for another 30,000 years— —Even longer than the journey of their ancestors' ancestors after they fled the earth.

In the process, what happened on their starship? These "cockroaches and maggots" who killed their compatriots, ruined their homes, and cut off all their hopes, as well as the "children of cockroaches and maggots", what happened? What has become of myself?

I’m afraid, it’s not easy to be a "cockroach and maggot", right?

"The flood tide is coming and the ancestors' escape is very hasty. No matter how the population is reduced and the resources are filled, it is impossible to satisfy everyone's 30,000-year voyage."

The ghost of the female captain said sadly, "What's more, don't forget, before the flood, the Yuanshi clan scattered in various sub-universes had just had an earth-shattering civil war. The wounds of the war were not so easy to recover and smooth out. .

"In an environment where fighting spirit and all moral bottom lines have been lost, where the road ahead is unknown, when the pursuit will arrive, and resources are rapidly depleted, everything you can think of and can't imagine broke out in the fugitive fleet... despicable, evil, Cruel, insidious, insidious, dirty, dark things, intrigue, open guns, secret arrows, and cannibalism are all a piece of cake. They are staged every second. Every starship is a small savage tribe. , We have become each other’s most sinister enemies, and even everyone on each starship sharpens his sword, hides his minions, and stabs evil and vigilant eyes on everyone around us, including the so-called ' Relatives'

"In some starships with particularly harsh environments, devouring the corpses of the same kind has even become a natural custom. These starships live by robbing their own compatriots and have spent more and more dark 10,000 years and 10,000 years. year.

"As a result, as you said, our ancestors turned themselves into cockroaches in space, maggots in the stars, and monsters beyond recognition!

"It's uncomfortable. It's too uncomfortable to lead a life like this. In such a nearly eternal alienation and torture, some Yuanshi clan has a complete mental breakdown. They laughed strangely, adjusted their course, and turned around one hundred and eighty degrees and took the initiative. Throwing into Hong Chao's embrace, discarding his own rationality and free will, became a muddle-headed cell.

"There are also mutinies on some starships. The bottom sailors and crew of the riots have nothing to ask for. When they control the bridge, they will activate the starship's'self-detonation program', using a bright and hot firework. Put an end to the shame of yourself and your ancestors.

"Only a very small number of crew members and passengers on starships can bear the shame and suffering, but they have begun to reflect on the actions of their ancestors and the true meaning of the existence of'civilization'.

"It's okay to say that'things must be reversed' or that we can no longer tolerate such a shameful, dark and meaningless life. In short, it's time to end it all.

"At the beginning of the test, you have seen a picture-countless Yuanshi clan lined up in neat rows, one after another falling into the power furnace. This scene is not fictional, but our mood may be different from your imagination. , We are not holding ourselves in the tragic mood of'sacrifice for civilization' and turning ourselves into fuel to promote the progress of civilization, but carrying billions of tons of shame and guilt, feeling shameless in the face of being killed by our ancestors in the past All my compatriots, Wu Yan faced the past and future of the once glorious Yuanshi civilization, and could not find a way to make up or change it-because of such despair, they decided to end everything."

"what……"

Li Yao was originally surprised. According to the style that Yuanshi civilization first showed, he shouldn't be so righteous and full of sacrifice.

It turned out that it was not sacrifice, but shame and guilt.

If you think about it, if you are a member of the fleeing fleet and have such... evil and despicable ancestors, you will live a life inferior to death, completely desperate, I am afraid I have no choice but to die. That's it.

"However, before we decided to go to liberation together, the discovery of the'Pangu Universe' brought us a glimmer of hope."

The ghost of the female captain smiled and said, "Our civilization is completely hopeless. The fixed thinking mode and the heavy historical burden, including the chasing and devouring of us by the floods... The whole 30,000 years of bereaved dogs are too tired. , We are too tired, death is our best relief.

"But what if our civilization can'start from scratch'?

"If we can restart our civilization and let it do it again with a new and completely different look, will we have the opportunity to find a new way out, make some small but critical changes, and cleanse us from the roots? All the sins committed by our ancestors, even freed the entire universe from the trauma caused by us and the flood?

"Therefore, there is the ‘black wall’ you see, there is this ‘primordial relic’, and there is this ‘ultimate test’.

"Hehe, the correct answer to the ultimate test is actually very simple, that is-there is no correct answer at all.

"Because everything we do is wrong, and we don't know what the right choice is, then what qualifications do we have to judge or even manipulate your choices?

"So, for the tester, it doesn't matter how you choose, and how you do it is right. Anything you want to do and rampage are counted as you pass, as long as-at the most critical point, you don't do the same as us. select."

"what……"

Li Yao was dumbfounded at first, and then suddenly realized, "So it's like this!"

"Furthermore, we have left you three opportunities in total. Even if there is only one of the three choices, you completely violate our will and make a choice that is the opposite of ours, even if you pass the barrier."

The ghost of the female captain smiled and said, "It seems simple, right, but for hundreds of millions of years, a hundred generations of testers of civilization have not passed the test. In order to let the superficial test go on, They all listened to our suggestions without exception, obeyed our will, and became our puppets, slaves, minions and pirates-it's ridiculous, even we are not the opponents of the flood, we want a group of puppets What are, slaves, minions and pirates doing?"

"Think about it carefully, too. If you really want to pass a test that looks very simple, you must not only have an indestructible will, but also have a fearless spirit of sacrifice, and moreover, you must have absolute trust in your comrades-in-arms and compatriots-this The three are what we are missing, and they are also things that a whole hundred generations of testers did not have. Today, they are all gathered in your body."

"is it?"

If Divine Soul also had teeth, Li Yao would laugh out of his teeth right now.

"Yes, so you are the one we have waited for hundreds of millions of years, and you are destined to inherit all the legacy of Yuanshi civilization."

The ghost of the female captain looked at Li Yao with extremely hot gaze. All the pale gold ghosts around cheered for Li Yao, all kinds of dazzling, gorgeous sound and light effects flying all over the sky, and then, countless "Prime Secret Treasures" The catalog and detailed information all appeared in Li Yao's mind, turning into a turbulent flow of gold.

"This is our invincible fleet anchored in the'black wall', with performance at least tens of thousands of years more advanced than your current starship; this is our reinforced exoskeleton and super-giant anthropomorphic war machine, one that is strong enough to fight against you. Hundreds of giant soldiers; this is our fully automated war factory, which can complete the entire process from resource collection to war puppet refining, without even commanding, as long as a remote command is entered, a planet can be occupied or destroyed."

The female captain smiled and said, "Of course, from the earth civilization to the Yuanshi civilization, the full set of technology trees and all the magical powers and training systems for tens of thousands of years are used. With these, your civilization has a pair of wings that exceed the speed of light. , Can easily save at least one hundred thousand years.

"Come on, now all of this is yours. Take it away and become the master of the universe, to make up for our faults, to create a new glory for Yuanshi civilization, and to create a brilliant future for you... a new generation of human civilization. !"

All the sound and light effects behind the female captain-the magnificent science and technology tree, the colorful magical powers and training system, and all kinds of majestic war machines, countless treasures, countless heritage, countless The power of destroying the sky and the earth, all turned into inexhaustible streams of light, gathered in her palm, and turned into a crystal clear pale golden key.

The ghost of the female captain handed the golden key to Li Yao, eyes full of impatient light.

Li Yao's soul was deeply shocked by the miraculous powers, technology trees and war machines displayed by the female captain, and he subconsciously reached out to grab it.

But at the moment when his fingertips were about to touch the golden key, there was a sudden movement in his heart, creating an extremely awkward feeling, as if a needle was lightly piercing his fingertips.

"and many more!"

Li Yao's soul shrank suddenly, and his fingers stopped less than one millimeter away from the golden key.
