"Wow, I asked me so profound, mysterious, and the most profound question that contained the ultimate truth of the universe. How do I answer it?"

Long Yangjun smiled and said, "In fact, this kind of problem that is too illusory, and everyone has their own understanding of the problem of empty to empty, and may not have correct answers. Or there can be ten thousand correct answers. They can all explain the tip of the iceberg of the unknown universe from a certain angle."

Li Yao said: "So, what is your 'correct answer'?"

Long Yangjun said: "I don't have any 'correct answer' either. At most, some imperfect inferences and hypotheses can be told to discuss with you.

"Although we have always talked about the opposition between the 'Pangu civilization' and 'chaotic', and even portrayed it as an unprecedented war that spread to three thousand worlds hundreds of thousands of years ago, at least before the split of the Nuwa clan, the so-called 'war' form and the judgment of 'win and loss' are simply incomprehensible and extremely difficult to imagine.

"Pangu civilization is like an active mountain. Chaos or extraterritorial demons are countless times smaller than the smallest microorganisms, and they have no entity, just the 'shadow of microorganisms'. They have no self, no consciousness, and naturally no civilization. You must not imagine chaos or extraterritorial demons as anthropomorphic existences, that is the biggest mistake."

Li Yao frowned and said, "But I have indeed seen many demons with strong emotions and self-awareness, such as the demon Mo Xuan, the demon Thunder Rain Qin, the demon Lu Qingchen, and the commander of the Nuwa clan who just tried to take over the body. Isn't there a demon who hibernated for hundreds of thousands of years in the depths of her brain?

"A big mistake."

Long Yangjun said, "The so-called 'Heaven Demon Mo Xuan' is simply plausible. To be precise, what exists in the depths of Professor Mo Xuan's soul is not a celestial demon, but a collection of thousands of 'chaotic' and 'Heaven Demons'.

"No, not only Professor Mo Xuan, but even in you, me, and deep in everyone's brain, there are thousands of demons."

"Thousands of Demons?"

Li Yao was completely confused, "I don't understand..."

"You can imagine our souls as an ecosystem, with the sky, the earth, the ocean, the plants and animals. It is a life-like, unique planet, or even a world, an extremely mysterious and unfathomable 'small universe'!"

Long Yangjun said, "Every ray of breeze, every beam of sunshine, every grass and every dewdrop in this small universe cannot be considered 'you', but the 'ecosystem' that all together constitutes is your mind, consciousness, and soul, which is acceptable?"

Li Yao pondered for a moment and nodded slowly.

“But a long time ago, in the first place, such an 'ecosystem' did not exist.”

Long Yangjun said, "At that time, as a 'tool' or 'carrier', the depths of the brain were just a bare and lifeless planet, an absolutely barren and dead world, a small universe without any heat or fluctuations, at most, there were only some unconscious fluctuations, just like wind and rain, lightning and thunder, and the earth shaking.

"However, perhaps when the planet was born, the "seeds of life" were planted in the depths of the bottomless hot ocean, or the meteorites from outside the sky brought wonderful gifts. In short, after a long period of time, ancient life gradually appeared on these dead and silent planets.

"There are more and more life, becoming more and more complex, blending, swallowing, splitting and evolving each other, and slowly transforming the barren planets, covering all the dead earth with colorful mosses, and big trees grow from the moss, and the big trees bear fruits and nourishing countless creatures... All of this together form an extremely complex and extremely sophisticated ecosystem, which is the soul of human beings."

Li Yao was stunned when he heard this.

"The demons outside the domain are like cells."

Long Yangjun said, "Your body is composed of thousands of cells, and your soul is composed of thousands of extraterritorial demons. Single cells and single extraterritorial demons are not you, but when thousands of cells and extraterritorial demons condense, they form your flesh and blood body and powerful soul.

"The flesh and blood body will get sick, and may be invaded by foreign viruses and bacteria, and even mutants similar to 'cancer cells' will grow, resulting in the consequence of self-destruction.

"By the same reason, the demons outside the domain do not care about good or bad. Green grass swallows dew and sunshine, sheep eat grass, and wolves eat sheep, there is no good or evil here. As long as they form a sufficiently balanced food chain to maintain the orderly operation of the entire ecosystem.

"But once some vicious alien species breaks into this ecosystem and smashes the fragile ecological balance, the consequences will be unimaginable."

Li Yao's heart moved and said, "In other words, the so-called 'demon invasion' is not as simple as a foreign demon devouring a person's soul, but rather that 'some' foreign demons invaded the closed ecosystem in someone's brain, causing the entire ecosystem to be destroyed or even collapsed, and ultimately bringing disastrous consequences?"

"That's right."

Long Yangjun said, "The name of the extraterritorial demon has a very strong derogatory color, and it often makes people involuntarily imagine it as a dark, evil, and bloodthirsty existence. I prefer the name "chaotic". The so-called chaos means that there is nothing to do with good and evil, good and evil. Light is it, darkness is it, good is it, and evil is it.

"As the saying goes, "All evil lust is the leader, no matter what the mind is, there are no good people in the world. Everyone always has many good thoughts and malicious thoughts in their minds, but most of the time, everyone can control their malice, which is like an ecosystem where wolves, sheep, grass, sunshine, rain and dew coexist, and can maintain a delicate balance.

"However, the 'demon' is like a meteorite bringing a virus that has never appeared in this ecosystem, which instantly causes the entire system to be destroyed and even collapsed, which is the usual sense of "demonic".

"How to measure the strength and weakness of the soul, in my opinion, is the complexity of this ecosystem.

"The simpler the ecosystem, the more fragile it is. It's like an ecosystem with only four elements: wolf, sheep, grass, and sunshine, rain and dew. As long as an external variable is added casually, it will collapse. This variable does not even need tigers and lions with fangs and claws. It only needs to be some insignificant bacteria that can cause large-scale death of grass.

"The soul of ordinary people is this kind of 'simple and fragile ecosystem', so in the incident of the arrival of demons, just some of the lowest-level demons are enough to cause the brains of hundreds of thousands and millions of people to collapse at the same time and become a 'demon'.

"Through cultivation, the soul becomes stronger and stronger, which is equivalent to the increasing complexity of this ecosystem. It has really become a vibrant planet, with tens of billions and hundreds of billions of different creatures living on it. One or two foreign bacteria or organisms are simply not enough to destroy the entire ecosystem. They are even quickly grasped by thousands of food chains, digested and absorbed, and become part of the ecosystem.

"The reason why you can devour the huge secret energy left by the demon Mo Xuan and the demon Lu Qingchen is that your "ecosystem" is highly complex and has extremely strong resistance to erosion and assimilation. After adjusting the structure of the food chain, you organically mesh the "exotic species" into it, turning it into a "local species", and regaining the ecological balance.

"So, there is no need to worry about whether the extraterritorial demons invade the depths of their souls. The extraterritorial demons themselves are not scary, just like our cells and the bacteria that live in the intestines. What is scary is that the entire ecosystem loses balance and goes to collapse and destruction!"

Li Yao listened silently, until now, and finally couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief: "This theory is indeed unheard of, and it is refreshing!"

"Of course I haven't heard of it, because I'm just talking nonsense!"

Long Yangjun's eyes were shining brightly, full of impatient light, "Is it true? I also want to jump to the center of the starry sea to find the answer now!

"Haha, I've been chatting for so long before I knew it. If I continue talking, I might be locked by the federal starship. I'm leaving, go and look for it... No, I'm going to create my mission. Li Yao, if I want to continue talking, come to the center of the Star Sea to find me!"

A dark blue ripples appeared on the light curtain, and it looked like a crystal clear bouquet of flowers blooming slowly.

"Hope then"

Long Yangjun stared at Li Yao deeply and said meaningfully, "Can you tell me, what is your 'mission'? No, it is not the mission given to you by others, but the real mission you created for yourself!

When the last "mission" was spoken out, the light curtain had changed from blue to snow-white, and Long Yangjun and the seats behind her were all shrouded in dazzling white light, as if they had completely melted.

Amid her echoing murmur, Li Yao saw an incredible scene through the remaining hundreds of surveillance crystal eyes set up around the Eternal Night Ice Field.

A dark blue bouquet like octopus bloomed in the clouds above the ice field, and the petals extended all the way to the surrounding horizon, and the stamens were spiraled together, building a bridge extending into the depths of the starry sea.

"call out!"

A beautiful stream of light emerged from the void. Before all the federal starships could react, they instantly shot out of the sky, shot out dark nebula, and disappeared into the endless stars along the bridge!

"Long Yangjun..."

The faint blue bouquets in the sky gradually dissipated and turned into gorgeous blue lights and splashed on the earth, like the frozen earth in a radius of thousands of miles, all shrouded in the beautiful aurora.

Li Yao stared at everything in a daze, but his thoughts gradually gathered into the last sentence before the other party left.

“Is it not the mission given to me by others, but the…real mission I created myself?”
