40,000 Years of Cultivation

Pepe took a breath, accelerated forward, driving the escape capsule, and slammed into his brother's cosmic armor.

"So, brother—"

Pepe bit her lip, "You are still determined to kill Shannuya, right? After it just gave up its life and saved everyone, didn't even hesitate?"

"forgive me."

My brother's voice was trembling, he seemed to close his eyes in the cosmic armor, and reluctantly said, "In order to survive, we have no choice."

"To survive, it's ridiculous."

Peppa said, "Even if we can really survive in this way, what kind of people will we become? Wolf-hearted, ungrateful, murderous villains, like the'forty' in the story. The thief's the same!

"Brother, I remember that you were not like this in the past. When you were young, you liked to listen to stories as much as I did. Listen to stories about good people defeating bad people and heroes defeating demons. You praise Alibaba for his kindness and good luck. Courage, you swear to be like the protagonist in the story, to be an upright hero, to help the good people, fight the bad people, and do the right thing.

"Since when did you become like this, you became the "Forty Thieves" in the story, a total villain! Is this really you, really, the real you? What are you doing, what are you doing? Do you know who you are now?"

"It's not important, Pepe, in the face of survival, good and bad, right and wrong, are meaningless."

The brother said in pain, "Even if you become the'Forty Thieves', it's enough as long as you can survive."

"No, not enough, not enough, not only do we have to live, but also to live like a good person, like a hero, that is the real life, the real civilization!"

Pepe screamed, "If in order to survive, you turn yourself into the'Forty Thieves', turn your fleet into a robber den, break all the laws, trample all the bottom lines, will people who live like that really be happy? A group of bandits who have no morality, no bottom line, and exterminate humanity, can they really unite for a long time and overcome difficulties together?"

"You do not understand……"

Said the brother.

But before he finished speaking, Pepe interrupted:

"Yes, I really don't understand, I don't understand what you adults are doing-to be a good person, to be a hero, to defend your homeland and justice, and to fight against darkness and evil. This is not what you adults are writing in the story. Is there something to teach all children?"

The girl cried and cried, "If you have a kind heart, uphold the law of justice, and treat your friends with enthusiasm, you will be able to overcome all difficulties and defeat the most powerful enemy, Prince. Live happily with the princess-isn't it all said in the story? Didn't the adults all instill in the children so that the children would believe in all this?

"Why, from the story to the reality, from a child to an adult, everything has undergone earth-shaking changes, you all have changed?

"Tell me, who is wrong, is it the story you adults wrote for the children, or the adults themselves?"

"Maybe we were wrong."

My brother sighed softly, "But I still can't let you pass."

"why?"

Pepe asked, "Since I know I am wrong, why don't I want to change, stop, and redeem-it's still too late!"

"You do not understand."

The brother said, "This is very complicated, I have no choice."

"Why does everything become'very complicated' in the eyes of your adults? Can't you simply follow your heart and do the right things, the righteous things, and the good things?"

Pepe shouted, "You obviously have a choice, you just have to give way a little and let me pass!"

"Do not."

The brother said, "No."

"Then, then-"

Pepe took a deep breath, "Destroy me, as you are about to kill Shannuya, destroy my escape pod!"

"impossible."

The brother said, "I won't do anything to you, but I can't just watch you tell the Void Hunter everything and make it possible to kill everyone."

"Then trust me."

Pepe said, "I will never let you kill Shannuya, but I will never let Shannuya kill you."

"This is impossible."

The brother said, "Even you can't predict and control the behavior of the Void Hunter."

"I know, but I have figured out a way."

Pepe said, "Minimize the possibility of possible danger-again, I won't let it hurt you, and I won't let you hurt it."

"any solution?"

The brother was slightly startled.

"I can't say it now, it won't work if I say it."

Pepe pleaded, "Brother, believe me, I can do it, give me a chance to try, give you a chance to protect things, give the stories of heroes and good people a chance!"

Brother was silent.

The cosmic battle armor trembled violently, as if under tremendous pressure from the inside out.

"Remember the games we used to play when we were young? I played Marchina in the game, and you played Alibaba, but no kid would like to play the Forty Thieves!"

Pepe’s voice was crying, “Our civilization has a total of 100 fleets. If 99 of them choose to be the'Forty Thieves', there should be at least one. Try to become'Alibaba' and'Markey. Na', right, brother, right?"

The brother continued to be silent.

The cosmic armor stopped trembling, like a thinking statue floating quietly in front of Pepe.

"Trust me, brother, I can save everyone, save everyone!"

Pepe screamed, "Please, trust me!"

When the escape pod lightly passed by the cosmic battle armor, my brother still did not speak, but...nor did not stop it.

The escape capsule continued to accelerate, getting farther and farther from the cosmic armor, and getting closer and closer to the Void Hunter.

My brother still didn't make any movements, as if the space armor was empty.

"brother?"

Pepe was surprised and delighted, and whispered in the communication channel.

"I am here."

The elder brother finally spoke, his voice as low and hard as prostration, "Pepe, now everyone's lives are in your hands."

Not far away, there were a few more shining rays of light, lasing.

It was Dad and the four members of the guard, who also controlled the cosmic armor, and they came fiercely.

"What about people?"

Dad asked in a deep voice.

"Just over."

The brother answered calmly.

"Asshole, what did you do, chase it!"

Dad growled and waved his hand, leading the four guards to catch up with Pepe's escape pod.

However, as soon as they started, a sharp alarm buzzer came from the Universe Armor.

The scorching blade light from the elder brother turned into magma in the sea of ​​stars, covering them.

"what the hell."

Dad was shocked and roared, "You are crazy!"

"I do not know."

The brother smiled bitterly, opened his arms, and stopped in front of the five cosmic armors, "Perhaps."

"Ricky!"

Dad was dumbfounded, "What the **** are you doing?"

"Fulfill the duties of a soldier."

My brother was silent for a long time, and said every word, "Fight for what we have been guarding."
