Chapter 3118 The answer is so simple?
Li Yao understood.
He couldn't help but want to laugh.
In the era when the "Sun Defense Line Plan" was thrown out and implemented, the Yuanshi tribe was a group of despicable and shameless guys who had no bottom line in order to survive. Perhaps they had once used the banner of "to preserve the spark of civilization and for the hope of the next generation", but unexpectedly, the blood descendants 30,000 years later hated their actions.
The older generation acted recklessly under the banner of "it was all for your own good", but the new generation was not grateful and even did it completely against each other. Throughout history, are there still fewer such things?
Moreover, the new generation of Yuanshi tribes are wandering in the dark sea of stars and live in vain, like a desperate dog who is in panic all day long. This feeling of life is worse than death does make them have reason to hate their ancestors.
Li Yaotai knew that a starship was drifting alone in the sea of stars, with no way out, and there were pursuers behind them, and resources were getting exhausted, and there was no feeling of hope. The last flagship of the Star Sea Republic, the former flagship "Firefly", drifted for a whole thousand years, almost completely degenerated and destroyed. It was not until it encountered the Star Sea Federation that it received lucky redemption.
The Firefly has only been wandering for a thousand years, and it has almost completed its transformation from a "cultivator" to an "immortal cultivator". After the remnants of Yuanshi civilization destroyed their homeland, they were exiled for a full 30,000 years under the pressure of the flood tide, even longer than the journey of their ancestors after they escaped from the earth.
In this process, what exactly happened on their starships? What did these "cockroaches and maggots" that killed their compatriots, destroyed their homes, and cut off all their hopes, and "the descendants of cockroaches and maggots" turn themselves into?
I'm afraid that it's not a good feeling to be a "cockroach and maggot"?
"The flood tide is coming in full force, and the ancestors' escape trip is very hasty. No matter how much the population is reduced and resources are filled, it is impossible to satisfy everyone's 30,000-year voyage."
The female captain's ghost said sadly, "What's more, don't forget that before the flood tide hit, the Yuanshi tribe scattered in various sub-universes had just had an earth-shaking civil war. The trauma of the war was not so easy to recover and smooth.
"In an environment where fighting spirit and all moral bottom line are lost, no one knows where the pursuers will arrive, and resources are quickly consumed, everything you can imagine and imagine has erupted in the escape fleet... despicable, evil, cruel, sinister, despicable, dirty, dark things, intrigue, open and hidden arrows, killing each other, are all a piece of cake, every second is happening, every starship is a small barbaric tribe, we have become each other's most sinister enemies, and even every person on each starship is sharpening his sword, hiding his own minions, and stabbing evil and vigilant eyes at everyone around him, including the so-called "kind"
"In some starships with particularly harsh environments, devouring similar corpses has even become a natural custom. These starships make a living by robbing their compatriots and spending more and more dark ten thousand years.
"The result, as you said, our ancestors turned themselves into cockroaches in space, maggots in the sea of stars, and monsters that were beyond recognition!
"It's so uncomfortable. This kind of life is so uncomfortable. In such an almost eternal alienation and torture, some of the Yuanshi tribes completely collapsed. They made strange laughs and adjusted their routes. They turned around one hundred and eighty degrees, took the initiative to throw themselves into Hong Chao's arms, discarded their rationality and free will, and became a chaotic cell.
"There are mutinies on some starships. The riots and the crew have no other choice. When they control the bridge, they will start the starship's 'self-destruction program' and put an end to the shame of themselves and their ancestors with a dazzling and hot fireworks.
"Only a very small number of crew members and passengers on the starship can withstand such shame and torture, but they also begin to reflect on what their ancestors do and the true meaning of the existence of "civilization".
"It's better to say that 'everything will turn against', or say that we can no longer tolerate such shame, darkness and meaningless life, in short, it's time to end it all.
"At the beginning of the test, you once saw a picture of countless Yuanshi tribes lined up in neatly, falling into the power furnace one by one. This scene is not fiction, but our mood may be different from what you imagined. We are not holding the tragic state of "sacrificing for civilization" and turning ourselves into fuel to drive civilization forward, but carrying a billions of tons of shame and guilt. We feel that we have no face to face all our compatriots who were killed by our ancestors in the past, and face the past and future of the once glorious Yuanshi civilization. We cannot find a way to make up for and change it because of this despair, so we decided to end everything."
"ah……"
Li Yao was originally wondering that according to the style that the Yuanshi civilization first showed, he should not be so righteous and full of sacrifice.
It turns out that it is not sacrifice, but shame and guilt.
Just think about it, if I had been a member of the escaped fleet and had such... the evil and despicable ancestors who lived a life worse than death and were completely desperate, I was afraid I had no choice but to die.
"However, before we decided to go to liberation together, the discovery of the 'Pangu Universe' brought us a glimmer of hope."
The ghost of the female captain smiled and said, "Our civilization is completely helpless. It has a fixed mindset, a heavy historical burden, including the pursuit and devouring of us by the flood tide... The whole 30,000 years of life as a dog that was lost, is too tired, we are already too tired, and death is our best relief.
“But what if our civilization could ‘start from scratch’?
"If we could restart our civilization and let it come back in a new, completely different look, would we have the opportunity to find a new way out and make some small but critical changes to clear all the sins committed by us and our ancestors from the root, and even let the entire universe get rid of the trauma caused by us and the flood?
“So, there is the ‘black wall’ you see, there is this ‘ancient ruin’, and there is this ‘ultimate test’.
"Haha, the correct answer to the ultimate test is actually very simple, that is, there is no correct answer at all.
“Because everything we do is wrong and we don’t know what the right choice is, then what qualifications do we have to judge or even manipulate your choice?
"So, for the testers, it doesn't matter how you choose, it's right to do whatever you do, and you're passing the test, as long as you are at the most critical node, don't make the same choice as us."
"ah……"
Li Yao was stunned at first, then suddenly realized, "So that's how it is!"
"And, we have left you three chances in total. Even if only one of the three choices is made, you will completely go against our will and make a completely opposite choice to us, even if you pass the test."
The ghost of the female captain smiled and said, "It looks simple, right? But for billions of years, none of the testers of civilization have passed. In order to keep the superficial tests on, they have listened to our suggestions without exception and followed our will, and became our puppets, slaves, minions and replicas. It's ridiculous that we are not even Hong Chao's opponents. What do we want a group of puppets, slaves, minions and replicas?"
"Think about it carefully, it is true that if you really pass the test, you must not only have an indestructible will, but also have a fearless spirit of sacrifice, and also have absolute trust in your comrades and compatriots. These three are all things we lack, and are things that a whole hundred generations of testers do not have. Today, they have gathered in you."
"Yeah?"
If the soul also has teeth, Li Yao would even laugh out loud at this moment.
"Yes, so you are the ones we have been waiting for billions of years, and are destined to inherit the entire legacy of Yuanshi civilization."
The female captain's ghost looked at Li Yao with extremely hot eyes. All the light golden ghosts around cheered for Li Yao, and all kinds of dazzling and extremely gorgeous sound, light and electric effects were flying all over the sky. Immediately afterwards, countless catalogs and detailed information of "Ancient Secret Treasures" appeared in Li Yao's mind, turning into a golden turbulent stream.
"This is our invincible fleet that is anchored within the 'black wall', and its performance is at least tens of thousands of years ahead of your current starships; this is our enhanced exoskeleton and super giant anthropomorphic war machine, a hundred giant gods that can fight against you; this is our fully automated war factory, which can complete the complete process from resource collection to war puppet refining, without even command. Just input a command remotely, you can occupy or destroy a planet."
The female captain smiled and said, "Of course, we also use the complete set of scientific and technological trees from Earth civilization to Yuanshi civilization, tens of thousands of years, and all the magical powers and cultivation systems. With these, your civilization has a pair of wings that exceed the speed of light, which can easily save at least 100,000 years!
"Come on, now all this is yours. Take it away and become the master of the universe and sea to make up for our mistakes, create a new glory for the Yuanshi civilization, and create a brilliant future for the new generation of human civilization!"
All the magnificent sound, light and electric effects behind the female captain, the colorful magical powers and cultivation systems, as well as various majestic war machines, countless secret treasures, countless legacies, and countless forces that destroy the world all turned into thousands of streams of light, gathered in her palm, and turned into a crystal clear light golden key.
The ghost of the female captain handed the golden key to Li Yao, his eyes filled with impatient light.
Li Yao's soul was deeply shocked by the thousands of magical powers presented by the female captain, the technology tree and war machine, and subconsciously reached out to grab it.
But just as the fingertips were about to touch the golden key, my heart suddenly moved and a very awkward feeling came out, as if a needle gently stabbed his fingertips.
"etc!"
Li Yao's soul suddenly contracted, and his fingers stopped less than a millimeter from the golden key—
The fourth update, it was so empty and exhausted~
