"Why?"

Cheng Xuansu held the fingers of the gun and rubbed the handle for a long time. He chuckled gently, looked at Cui Lingfeng's face seriously and said, "I should ask you this question. Speaker, what kind of fanatical spirit is it to support your pathological beliefs, making you firmly believe that the "Star Sea Republic" still exists, and believes that with the "Firefly" made of such hundreds of scrap copper and iron, we can sail for another thousand years, and one day we will even return to the center of the Star Sea to defeat the extremely powerful real human empire?"

"Tang Dingyuan is right. The Xinghai Republic has long been dead. As early as a thousand years ago, Wu Yingqi rushed into the Supreme Parliament and declared himself the Speaker, he was already dead! The Firefly is just its corpse, and we are just a tiny little bug living in this gradually decaying corpse!"

"Return to the center of the Star Sea and revival the Star Sea Republic? It's impossible, stop dreaming!"

Cui Lingfeng stared at Cheng Xuansu with his eyes as if two sharp hooks, trying to hook her head to see clearly. His voice was very low, but full of despair: "Xuansu, even you think so? Even if this is really a dream, it is not just my dream, but the dream of millions of people, including your father! Your father and countless heroes like your father, have devoted their lives without regrets for this dream and devoted all of them! It is to leave a little hope for... the great country a thousand years ago! How can you, how can you think so?"

Cheng Xuansu's face was indifferent, but the light in his crystal eyes became deeper and deeper, red and purple, and blackened. He said coldly: "Say it again, that man is not my father. The hope of the so-called "Star Sea Republic" is just your old and self-deceiving dream. What does it have to do with me?"

"Maybe for you, the 'Star Sea Republic' really represents a great history, many things, and everything about you! Many of you were born in the center of the Star Sea and grew up in the heyday of the Star Sea Republic. You have witnessed and enjoyed its strength and prosperity with your own eyes, just like my sperm provider. Then you were put into the hibernation warehouse like zombies, and hibernated all the way to this day. You naturally missed the former kingdom that had long been annihilated."

"But what about me?"

"I was born on this cold, dark, narrow and wet broken ship. From the beginning of my memory, I faced endless disasters. Today is the leakage of this cabin, tomorrow is the explosion of that pipe, the day after tomorrow is the famine caused by the failure of the artificial greenhouse!"

"Behind our butt are thousands of imperial pursuers, ahead of us is a dark sea of ​​stars that no human has ever stepped on. Our broken ship is rusting and rotting day after day, and there is no hope!"

"That's all, it's fine. But you still have to use the 'the former glory of the Star Sea Republic' to deceive others, and you also have to tell the joke of 'the killing back to the center of the Star Sea'!"

"Just because I am the daughter of that man, because his blood flows in my body, and because of your nonsense, I have 'voluntarily' accepted the most stringent practice since I was five years old. Under the stimulation of lies, I kept hitting the limit, trying to turn myself into a 'hero' like that man, until the end, but turned myself into... Now I am covered in scars, no one is human or ghost!"

"Then, after finding that you have been deceived and found that the things you have struggled for half your life are just a complete joke and will never be realized, wouldn't it be a normal reaction to choose 'betray'?"

"You ask me why I chose the real human empire? Hehe, it's very simple. I've had enough of the days on Firefly! The dull air, the small cabin, the smell of waxy food, the fear of day and night, as if I had no headless flies, the dark voyage of hope was completely unaware of all this!"

"I have devoted my first half of my life to the rotten corpse of Xinghai Republic, and for the second half of my life, I want to change my life and live like a real person!"

Cui Lingfeng looked like a zombie who had been dead for a long time. He hissed: "Even so, even if you really... don't want to stay on Firefly, you can choose the Starlight Federation!"

Cheng Xuansu sneered: "What is the difference between the Starry Federation and the Starry Sea Republic? You are destined to be unable to withstand the conquest of the real human empire. I have already fled once and don't want to be a second dog of a betrayal, and don't even want to die! The empire can give me everything I want, everything!"

Cui Lingfeng said sadly: "So you betrayed your compatriots and became a cultivator?"

Cheng Xuansu looked at him with a sarcastic expression: "What's the difference between cultivators and immortals? Of course, everyone will say beautiful words, 'Cultivators are the swords of human civilization', 'Cultivators are born to protect ordinary people', but is this true?"

"If you, the cultivators of the Star Sea Republic, are really so great, and then you will be supported by ordinary people, Wu Yingqi, the former one, have the opportunity to usurp the power of the Supreme Parliament and become the 'Black Star Emperor'?"

"Just say that on the little Firefly, the higher the cultivation level, the better the treatment and greater the power you can enjoy?"

"Ordinary people and the sailors at the bottom live in a dark and humid cabin. Many people don't even have their own independent sleeping compartment. They have to share the same place with their families and take turns to sleep."

"And the high-ranking cultivators, whether you MPs or Tang Dingyuan's bridge commanders, can enjoy a treatment that is dozens of times better than ordinary people, at least you don't have to take turns to squeeze a sleeping wall, right?"

"There are nearly a hundred Nascent Soul monks on the Firefly, but I have never seen a Nascent Soul monk living in a cabin that is smaller than the cabin of a lower-level sailor. This is just a legal different treatment. As for the illegal activities that the members of your subordinates do, the use of power to conquer materials, conduct black market transactions, etc., I am too lazy to say that since that is the case, what is the difference between cultivators and immortal practitioners, and what is the essential difference between the Star Sea Republic and the Real Human Empire?"

Cui Lingfeng's face turned red and white: "This is an extraordinary time, and it is a last resort!"

"Yes, extraordinary times."

Cheng Xuansu smiled, "I still remember the last 'extraordinary period'. Because of the extreme food shortage, the parliament even made a decision that everyone was not allowed to get pregnant and give birth naturally. The sperm and eggs must be frozen, and the number of newborns should be accurately controlled according to the material circulation and population changes on the ship. I was born under this policy by 'precise control' and what I think is something that a cultivator can do?"

Cui Lingfeng's eyes twitched, as if his heart was being ravaged. He gasped: "That was a difficult decision, but we had no choice. This is the resource and space on the ship. If the population explodes, uncontrollable **** will occur in the end, and he will fall into the terrifying hell of cannibalism!"

"Facts have proved that this policy is effective. We have been through a difficult hundred years and finally overcome the problem of food shortages, and have restored our society to normal and regained vitality!"

Cheng Xuansu said: "Sir Speaker, do you think I am opposing the policy at that time? No, on the contrary, I agree very much, very much with this policy. Under the circumstances at that time, if we want to continue our civilization, this is the only solution without any choice!"

"Aware of this, I suddenly realized and figured it out!"

"Many times, right or wrong is meaningless, and there is no point in cultivating truth or cultivating immortality, because we have no choice."

"The Firefly has limited resources and space, but its population growth can reach unlimited at any time. For the sake of the continuation of civilization, we have made many... no choice."

"In a broad sense, isn't the entire human civilization helmed by the real human empire just a larger "Firefly" in the vast dark universe? Perhaps, in order to continue the entire human civilization, the empire has to make many choices, no choice!"

Cui Lingfeng was really stunned, thinking for a moment, and trembled deeply: "You, where did you learn so much...a rebellious thought!"

Cheng Xuansu smiled: "Don't underestimate the wilderness of the border of the Star Sea. Don't the legendary laity all live in such a place? President Lu Qingchen of the 'Emperor' is really a scholar who has a profound study of the path to immortal cultivation. Many of his thoughts are deafening and makes people suddenly enlightened!"

"Okay, if you don't have anything to ask, let's stop here."

"Sorry, Speaker... No, Uncle Choi, even though you have deceived me with those lies for decades, I'd better call you Uncle Choi again! No one wants things to be like this. Really, this is not a personal grudge, or even a dispute over the great way. I just want to go to that kind of life, which I deserve long ago."

Cheng Xuansu raised his pistol and pointed it at Cui Lingfeng's eyebrows, "I remember that at that time, every time I was exhausted and could never get up, you would encourage me to say that as long as I persevere to the end, I would definitely create miracles!"

"However, unfortunately, I have been doing a long, long time and don't believe in the existence of miracles."

Cui Lingfeng's face was ashamed, and he looked like he was so sad that he could not even speak a word.

"that……"

Li Yao scratched his hair and raised his hand to speak.

"Um?"

Cheng Xuansu raised his eyebrows, and the red light emitted from his crystal eyes locked on Li Yao, "Professor Rod, I'm sorry to have you involved in this matter. It can only be considered your bad luck. Do you have any last words?"

"There is no last words, but I really want to say a few words."

Li Yao looked at Cui Lingfeng, then looked at Cheng Xuansu, blinked his eyes and said, "First, I think, the universe is so big, there will be 'miracle' occasionally."
