40,000 Years of Cultivation

"No, you don't need a Void Hunter?"

Pepe exclaimed, "How can this be?"

"Why not?"

My brother said, "In the past thousands of years, I lived on the Void Hunter and became a little...reptile under the shelter of this behemoth. Such humble and humiliating days have passed for so long, so long that many people have forgotten the more distant ones. The glory of the past, forgot that when our ancestors were still living on the earth, we were the'spirits of all things', we were the kings of the entire planet, and we were the terrifying upright apes standing at the top of the food chain. There is no creature that can compete with us!

"At that time, our ancestors ruled the earth. Looking ahead, all life is either our food, or our slaves or toys. There is no Void Hunter. It can be compared with us, or even surpassed us. Something above.

"When we wandered into the stars, fell into despair, and were dying, we were forced to cling to the void hunter and barely linger. This is a helpless act, which is regarded as a shame and shame by countless people! Now, we have slowed down and set foot again. Why do you have to be restrained by a mere Void Hunter on the path to the radiant rise?

"Did you know, Pepe, after abandoning the Void Hunter, many fleets chose to use a certain place as their base camp. The speed of development is extremely fast, leaving us far behind.

"Those people on the fleet also laughed at us for being stubborn and stubborn, clinging to the dross of thousands of years, ignorant of changing customs, and developing new production methods and social forms.

"This also involves the power struggle of the Supreme Combat Conference. The relationship between all aspects is very complicated, and I can't even explain it.

"Now, among the dozen or so fleets that still choose to raise the Void Hunter, more than half are faintly shaken, ready to accept technical assistance from other fleets, and completely abandon the backward and dangerous vehicle of the Void Hunter.

"Our fleet commander is considered the most stubborn one of the highest combat conferences. He always feels that he can’t put all his eggs in one basket. Since most of the fleet has chosen a new development direction, several fleets still maintain the past. There is nothing wrong with the thousand-year tradition. In this way, in case of any drastic changes, some seeds of hope can be preserved-and the reason why he can be so stubborn is also very important to his father's persistence.

"However, at precisely this time, the Void Hunter in our fleet has touched the dangerous bottom line of'awakening self-awareness.' There are now hundreds of millions of pairs of eyes staring at us, waiting to see how we deal with the Void Hunter. It can’t be resolved cleanly, and even some moths come out. Not only our fleet, but also the void hunters of the other dozen fleets, and even the whole lifestyle of humans and void hunters living in harmony, all can’t be kept. do you understand!"

Pepe's mind was in a mess.

She could understand every word her brother said, but after combining them into one sentence, the hidden murderous intent of Ling Li made the girl shudder, and she couldn't or didn't want to understand.

Pepe was a sensible girl after all, knowing that it would be useless to lose her temper at her brother, she just kept shed tears.

"do not Cry."

My brother handed over a tissue and said, "Such a beautiful girl, how ugly is it to cry?"

Peppa pulled the tissues handed by her brother, but cried harder and couldn't stop it.

"Don't blame Dad for being cruel, I think, he is also trying to protect you."

The elder brother added, "In the past six months, the changes in the Supreme Combat Conference are very subtle. The doves are weak and the hawks are in power. It is said that the newly appointed Supreme Commander wants to strengthen the control of hundreds of fleets, and he is hunting for heretics. I have to be careful."

"Hawk? Dove? Heresy?"

Pepe stopped crying, and said with swollen eyes, "What is that?"

"Just..."

The elder brother thought for a while and reluctantly explained, "Hawks are the most iron-blooded and toughest soldiers. They believe that the living space we have now colonized is far from enough. Human civilization should continue to expand outward, expanding hundreds, thousands, or even millions of times. With a double living space, until it becomes the overlord of the entire Xinghai Sea, all possible threats to our lives and civilization should be ruthlessly obliterated. At least, we must eliminate their threats, suppress them completely, and serve human civilization.

"Dovish? They think that this goal is too grand and remote. For the time being, we should still get along with the wise alien races and slowly develop and grow. Naturally, it's a matter of course.

"As for heretics, it is those...those who are controlled by cosmic radiation, starry sky aliens, or all kinds of unexplained insanity, and betray the interests of human civilization!"

"Hey?"

Pepe's eyes widened, "Does such a guy exist?"

"of course."

The elder brother said with a sad expression, "If Dad didn't control you in time and asked you to sneak to Shannuya to tell everything, wouldn't you become a heresy of'being controlled by the alien race in the starry sky and betraying the interests of human civilization'?"

Pepe shivered deeply, and subconsciously said: "I, I am not!"

"Are you or not, it doesn't matter."

The brother said, "The important thing is that the Supreme Commander and the Supreme Commander think you are not — three fires when the new officer takes office. I heard that the Supreme Commander has used some disgraceful means when he takes office. His position is not stable. Therefore, he has been sharpening his sword and thinking about killing chickens and monkeys and consolidating his position. It is not surprising at all. Let's not let him find excuses."

"Brother, what are you talking about? At first it was Shannuya's business, then it turned into the Supreme War Council's matter, and finally it was about the Supreme Commander."

Pepe murmured, "I don't understand, I don't understand at all."

"It's best not to understand."

The elder brother smiled, "The biggest wish of elder brother and dad is that you never understand these... bloody, dirty and even evil things, and always be a carefree little princess.

"Okay, my little princess, get a good night's sleep, and you will be transferred to the medical ship tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. There will be nothing else."

When he heard that he was about to part with Shanuya, Pepe's nerves that had just relaxed, tightened again.

But seeing her brother's expression, she knew that what she said was useless.

"Brother, I just want to ask you one last question."

The girl said softly.

"Just ask."

The brother is smiling.

"I remember a long time ago, you told me that the reason you chose to be a'warrior' was to protect all your loved ones from the slightest harm."

Peipei said, "Now, look into my eyes and tell me again-do you still think so, still 100%, sincerely, and without discount, think that you are just for'protection', not for anything else Purpose, did you choose to fight?"
