Chapter 3120 A painful lesson!
All the ghosts of Yuanshi civilization have solidified.
"What did you say?"
The female captain said in disbelief, "You have come here after thousands of difficulties and dangers and finally passed many tests. Isn't it just to get the inheritance of the ancient times? This is the only hope to save your civilization, but you want to... refuse?"
"Yes, I refuse."
Li Yao became more and more calm and more relaxed, and smiled and said, "Don't get me wrong. I am neither on a whim, I want to use the life and death of the entire civilization to make a desperate bet; nor is it a trick of playing hard to get, and I want to refuse, and deliberately putting it in the 'correct answer'; I really think that the so-called 'the inheritance of the ancient times' is not good for my civilization, or that my civilization is not ready to accept this overly generous gift, and the time is not yet here!"
"Why?"
The female captain looked at Li Yao in a flash, "Can you explain it?"
"From the beginning, I was wondering what the real purpose of this 'ultimate test' is, what exactly are you trying and measuring? Is it really a black and white concept like 'just' and 'evil'?"
Li Yao shook his head and said, "No, I don't think so. On the road to civilization's courage, the concepts of good and evil and good and evil are changing every moment. There are far more than one way to save civilization. Who can say that you must be right and always be right?
"It's like in human civilization, there are personalities like Ding Lingling, but there are also personalities like Long Yangjun, Boss Bai, Li Jialing, Li Linghai, Lei Chenghu, and the spring breeze... There are thousands of different personalities, everyone upholds different ideas, tempers different hearts of Tao, and strives for the rise of the entire civilization in their own way. Am I definitely more correct than them and can save civilization? Even if everyone's personality and philosophy become like me, there is only one voice, one idea, and one path. Even if it seems like a road of light and justice, will such a world be better than now?
“Even myself, I dare not say that.
“I’m afraid that’s why you start saying ‘there’s no correct answer’.
"I think even after 30,000 years of suffering and constant reflection in the life of escape, the Yuanshi clan who survived would not unanimously believe that the ancestors did something wrong, right? Just like there are "cultivators" and "cultivators" among humans, you must have two or even many sects. Some people always think that the ancestors are not wrong. The original "Major Extinction Order" and "Sun Defense Plan" should be a little more ruthless.
"So, 'good and evil' and 'good and evil' are not the things you value most. When you reach the level of 'quasi-god civilization', your heart of Tao has long surpassed the concepts of 'good and evil' and 'good and evil'. Perhaps you also know that you will never have a way out when you get stuck in the issue of good and evil.
"What you care about is not good and evil, good and evil, but the attitude of a civilization toward a sudden expansion or falling power from the sky.
"From the beginning of the earth's past, to the struggle and rise of the Yuanshi clan in the universe, you have already suggested that the control and use of any power of me countless times is not without a price. There is a "Dao of Heaven" in the dark, and the price is marked for each kind of power in secret. The more you control and use powerful power, the more you need to pay an extremely heavy or even tragic price. If you are overly obsessed with powerful power, you will not only not become the master of power, but will instead become a slave of power.
"The mammoths and saber-toothed tigers seem to have received the blessing of evolution, controlled the unrivaled power in the environment at that time, and became the overlords who dominate the country, but the price was to be self-confidence and lose the motivation to continue evolution. In the end, when the human beings appeared, they were extinct in a short moment.
"The same tragedy also happened to starry aliens like the Void Hunter and the Hill Cancer. They originated from the cave world with abundant spiritual energy. Their power is far more than tens of millions of times that of saber-toothed tigers and mammoths, and the price they paid was even more tragic. If it weren't for the emergence of the flood tide, they would never have known what true wisdom and civilization would be like.
"What about the Earthlings who entered the industrialized and informatized society? They seem to have controlled advanced technology and excellent civilizations that all other Earthling creatures cannot master, but the price is to lose their self-control and stimulate the tendency of self-destruction deep in their genes to the extreme. World War I, World War II, and even the thermonuclear war that turned the earth into a wasteland. World War III, these are the prices paid by the Earthlings for their strength.
"What about the descendants of you Earthlings, the Yuanshi clan? Of course, you have paid a price, and it is a heavy price than Earthlings, Sabre-toothed tigers, mammoths, void hunters, hill Cancers...
"It's too fast, your civilization evolves too fast. You are not natives in the center of the universe, but "mutants" that were invaded by foreign countries. Before you came to the center of the universe, you have never had such a large-scale and in-depth contact with spiritual energy. Isn't the extremely abundant and strong spiritual energy in the blessed world of the caves, to you, a kind of power that is "falling from the sky, completely free"?
"Assisted by this 'completely free power', you have completed the transformation from ordinary civilization to quasi-god civilization in just tens of thousands of years, and are lost in overly powerful power without exception.
"At the moment just now, I also scanned your social form and technological development context, and found that you are a very deformed civilization with a large number of faults. In some areas, especially the military and technological field of bloody killing, you have developed to the peak or even crazy. However, in other areas related to humanities, legal systems and morality, you are not much higher than the Earth's era. Even because of the coldness and darkness of the star sea, you have retreated to the feudal and tribal level of the earth's medieval era. This kind of technology and humanities is really weird.
"I think the power that once eroded the starry aliens such as Void Hunter and Hill Cancer, and kept the lower civilizations in the slave society forever, has also begun to erode your Yuanshi civilization?
"So, why are you so unbearable on the road to the rise of civilization? Why did you issue the Mass Extinction Order? Why did you forget the lessons of the Earth's era and launch a cruel civil war again after massacring most civilizations? Why did you throw out the "Sun Defense Plan"? It is meaningless to blame some people under the moral standards. The root cause is that you are lost in the power that you cannot control; your expansion speed is so fast that the moral condensation cannot keep up with the progress of technology; you are too greedy to try to control what you cannot control, and achieve billions of years of glory in just tens of thousands of years.
"In the face of extremely strong power and fatal temptation, can you keep a clear mind and make rational judgments? This is the real focus of your attention, right?"
The female captain listened quietly. After hearing this, she and all the ghosts of the Yuanshi clan finally showed an expression of great shame, regret and pain.
The female captain's lips were trembling. She remained silent, whether it was because there was no corresponding answer in the pre-set program or whether it was a certain true expression above the program.
"The new generation of human civilization in our Pangu universe is lucky."
Li Yao's smile became brighter and brighter, "Although we were also an artificial civilization by chance, although our 'father civilization', Pangu tribe and Nuwa tribe have also left us with rich heritage, for a long time, these heritages were buried under the yellow sand and drifted in the sea of stars. We mainly rely on our own hands to overcome obstacles and work hard. We have gone all the way to this day, not only have advanced technology and cultivated powerful magical powers, but the people also have sound body and mind and stable moral concepts. The strong and wise can also reach a general consensus. The entire civilization is proactive, vibrant, and full of fearless hope.
"Under this situation, we have discovered the remains left by the Pangu civilization one after another, because the gap between Pangu civilization and us is not too big, and the remains technology is sporadic and will not have too much impact on our social form and moral concepts. Even if there are some subversive things, we can slowly digest and absorb them.
"It can be said that such a legacy is something that is beneficial to human civilization at this moment.
"However, what about the 'Ancient Inheritance' from the Yuanshi Civilization? According to you, it is something that is at least hundreds of thousands of years ahead of us, and is incredibly advanced to an incredible level, which can suddenly leap our civilization to the realm of quasi-god-level civilization. Haha, it's too exaggerated. Just as an ordinary person cannot become a powerful Nascent Soul by taking the Immortal Pill, I can't imagine what an ordinary civilization will look like.
"To give an inappropriate example, it's like a poor man suddenly won tens of millions of lottery tickets. Do you think he really has enough knowledge, ability and will to control this fortune from heaven and not lose himself in the world of materialistic money?
"A ordinary person who was originally mediocre but was still happy. After becoming rich overnight, his personality changed drastically, was eroded by his own sacrificiality, and he squandered himself. After doing nothing, he returned to poverty. He could not accept such an ending. Instead, he fell into a more painful abyss. I have heard of many things like this.
