Li Yao vaguely guessed what the "reason" Long Yangjun said, and his breathing gradually became rapid.

Long Yangjun smiled slightly and said, "Think about it, what extreme situation do you think people will willingly give up their emotions and will?

"Oh, there is no need to think about it. Just look at the deep underground of the imperial capital, the Great Iron Factory, and the Wuyou Sect incident that we have just experienced, and we will know that there is extreme scarcity of resources, extreme pain and exploitation, and extreme despair. Under the interaction of these conditions, there is no need to deceive or force at all. People can take the initiative to give up everything, including emotions!

"So, is extreme fear okay?"

Li Yao was silent for a moment and asked knowingly: "Is there an 'extreme fear' about what'?"

"You've guessed it."

Long Yangjun said lightly, "Hongchao, the "extreme fear" of the "hongchao" that is enough to destroy everything, erase everything, and eliminate everything.

"For a long time, we have speculated that the Pangu Civilization Alliance did not have the ability to cross the black wall. It was blocked within the three thousand worlds by technical means, which led to the stage of a series of tragedies such as resource scarcity, emotional erasure, temptation of demons, and rebellion of Nuwa.

"But if we change our thinking and assume that when Pangu Civilization Alliance develops to its peak, it has the ability to cross the black wall and explore the foreign land?

"Think about it, put you in the role of a leader of the Pangu Civilization Alliance at its heyday. Your civilization consists of thirteen highly developed carbon-based lives with courage, wisdom, technology and morality. You have been able to absorb stellar energy as you wish and create a new form of life. You are naturally ambitious and aggressive to conquer the entire known and unknown universe.

"Nothing can seal your ambitions. How can you make you give up your emotions and your loftiest ideals? It's a joke!

"You have used the most advanced and developed technologies of the entire civilization to build a huge and incredible expeditionary fleet, overcome thousands of difficulties and dangers, and solved countless complex and unknown problems. Finally, you have finally crossed the natural barrier that imprisoned civilization, and the "black wall" composed of barren voids, and came to the universe that is thousands of times wider than the Three Thousand Worlds!

"It seems very bright and a wonderful ending, right?

"It's a pity that outside the black wall, the picture of the universe is completely beyond your imagination. This is not a fertile land with crystals and psychic energy flowing, or even a "dark forest" that is dangerous or at least vibrant, but a scorched earth, a barren piece of debris, a piece of residue that has just been ravaged and chewed by the "Flood Tide". All life, all civilizations, whether kind or evil, advanced or primitive, physical or in ripple form, have all been destroyed by the "Flood Tide".

"You have enough imagination to think of such a picture? After going through thousands of difficulties and dangers, and making countless sacrifices, I finally climbed over the black wall with the hope of the entire civilization, but outside the wall is such a catastrophe, such destruction, and such a catastrophe that is raging with the tide!

"What's even more terrifying is that the "Hong Tide" that destroys everything is very likely not to go far. Since you can climb out of the wall and discover the existence of the "Hong Tide", the Hong Tide naturally has a high probability of discovering and destroying the three thousand worlds where your Pangu civilization is located!

"In this way, the Three Thousand Worlds are really similar to the dark nebula where my hometown Ancient Saint Realm is located. They are all shrouded by a barrier that seems to be airtight and extremely thick, and is extremely difficult to penetrate by any information and material.

"This barrier is both a kind of bondage, seal and curse, which makes the civilization inside isolated from the world and unable to communicate with the outside, so as to be isolated in the universe; but from another perspective, isn't it a kind of protection?

"If it weren't for the dark nebula, the ancient holy world would have been involved in the bloody battle of the ancient cultivator era 40,000 years ago, or was discovered by the demon clan, or involved in the collapse of the Star Sea Empire, or was conquered by the real human empire?

"By the same reason, outside the three thousand worlds, there is such a layer of "black wall" that seems to be deserted and void. Then from the outside, it is very likely to think that this is a large dead place with nothing, a dead ocean and an extremely arid desert, but I don't know that there are islands in the middle of the ocean and oasis in the middle of the desert!

"Perhaps, the 'hongchao' is because of the existence of the black wall, and he has no interest in consuming energy to explore whether there is prey behind the black wall, so he let us go for the time being. Anyway, the rich food such as 'magic civilization' has been enough for it to eat for a while!

"But if the 'Hongchao' discovered that a fleet of fleets rushed out in the black walls that seemed desolate and void, then it could immediately infer that there must be a highly developed civilization in the depths of desolate and void. Do you think it will still let us go lazily?"

Li Yao was asked by Long Yangjun and was speechless.

"Oh, my guess is not rigorous. Perhaps the Pangu civilization's expeditionary fleet did not directly discover the 'Hong Chao'. If they discovered Hong Chao, Hong Chao would be very likely to discover them, and then we would be finished long ago!"

Long Yangjun said, "What they discovered was the residues, remains or graves of civilization after being swallowed and ravaged by the Hongchao, such as the exiled fleet of magic civilizations, and through the residues, remains and graves of these alien civilizations, they knew everything and knew the existence of Hongchao.

"But the conclusion is the same, that is, the leader of the Pangu Civilization Alliance, and even every citizen, knows that there is something called "Hongchao".

"Is Hongchao a force that can destroy the entire three-dimensional universe, or a ferocious beast from four dimensions or even higher dimensions, or even a law of self-will? This is not important. What is important is that people hiding behind the black walls must not be discovered by Hongchao. Once discovered, everything will be finished.

"No matter how you muster up the courage, mobilize wisdom, and gather will, the Pangu Civilization Alliance at that time had no chance of one billion. If you can compete with Hong Chao, once discovered and destroyed, it would be the only ending.

"This is not pessimism, but facts, objectively existing and irrefutable facts, do you agree?"

"……agree."

Li Yao said extremely arduously.

"Very good, so how will you make a decision as the leader of Pangu civilization, based on clarifying this fact?"

Long Yangjun pursued him closely, "especially for the expeditionary fleet that had crossed the black wall and explored the outer world."

"I'm afraid I can only recall them."

Li Yao sighed and smiled bitterly, "The longer they stayed outside the wall, the more likely they were to be discovered by the "hongchao". The consequence of being discovered is the destruction of the entire civilization. At most, some survivors, like exiled fleets of magic civilization, escaped their homes, wandered away, and lived a life of dying struggle, surviving and still unable to escape death.

"Recall is the only decision."

"It's the only decision, but not the whole decision."

Long Yangjun said, "If you think about it carefully, you will know that after recalling this fleet, it is extremely unnecessary and unwise to let them continue to exist. This fleet was born to cross the black wall, but now crossing the black wall has become a dangerous act that threatens the existence of the entire civilization. Even if only one starship escapes across the black wall, it may be discovered by Hongchao, which will lead to the destruction of the entire civilization.

"But, as long as there is a starship that can sail to the outside world, who can guarantee that no ambitious, bold and reckless guy will steal the starship and do stupid things?

"So, in order to survive the Pangu civilization, it is necessary to block or even destroy its own long-distance abilities. Pangu civilization does not need the technology to cross the black wall, even if it is not forever, at least before confirming that the flood tide completely retreats, it is not necessary!"

Li Yao couldn't help but clench his fists.

Human civilization has been developing for 100,000 years, and what we are striving to be the technology of crossing the black wall and voyages far away from the outside world. Has the Pangu civilization really mastered this technology, but... had to destroy and annihilate the technology?

This is really a pity, so sad, so alasm!

But if the "Hongchao" really patrolled outside the black wall, or even stared at it, looking for the next prey, Pangu civilization's self-sealing approach seems to be, reasonable and inevitable.

"Aware of this, another problem that once troubled me was solved."

Long Yangjun said deeply, "This question is what I have discussed with you. Pangu civilization destroyed its own crystal brain technology on a large scale, forcibly suppressing the level of crystal brain and spiritual network to a level that is not much higher than that of human civilization now.

"At the beginning, we all thought that the Pangu civilization was afraid of the birth of 'artificial intelligence', in order not to allow 'artificial intelligence' or 'virtual life' to be born, so that we could spare no effort to suppress our crystal brain and spiritual network level.

"Now it seems that it is very likely that it is wrong again. Even human civilization has countless knowledgeable people. They are not afraid of the arrival of the era of artificial intelligence, and are even willing to live in peace with information life, and use information life to enhance their civilization Pangu civilization. Isn't there no such knowledgeable people and far-sighted leaders?

"No, perhaps what Pangu civilization fears is not artificial intelligence, but the rapid development of artificial intelligence will inevitably lead to a big explosion in the Star Sea voyage technology. Once something like "ghost" is produced, countless starships can cross the black wall, and it is not something that the Pangu civilization authorities can stop it.

"As for the same sentence, as long as a starship carrying artificial intelligence escapes from the black wall and is perceived by Hong Chao, the entire civilization will be destroyed.

"So, in order not to let a sampan go into the sea, I would simply lock down or even suppress my own crystal brain and spiritual network research and development level, and never let the artificial intelligence assisting starship navigation be born, blocking all loopholes from the root, so I don't have to worry that Hongchao will find them.

"When you hear this, you should understand completely. Li Yao, perhaps it is not that the endless black walls blocked the development of Pangu civilization, but that it is their extreme fear of the external world and the flood tide, which makes them seal themselves, set limits themselves, erase themselves, and lock themselves up!"—
