Li Yao shuddered when he heard Long Yangjun's words.
The virtual black tide in front of me seemed to have turned into a universe without stars.
The seemingly dark void is actually the best protective color, because what lingers outside the darkness is a force a hundred times darker than darkness, an unstoppable force...
"Even if you guessed it right" Li Yao's voice was like the cold wind blowing from an ice cave, with a biting chill, "It's not necessary to completely deprive yourself of emotions to be so cruel by sealing yourself, right?"
"I want it."
Long Yangjun sighed and said, "In the past, we thought that the Pangu civilization was extremely short of resources and had to be careful in order to eliminate the seven emotions and six desires.
After all, the various violent activities and even the most extreme wars brought about by emotions would greatly accelerate the depletion of resources.
Consumption leads to premature depletion and collapse of the closed world.
“But that’s just one of the reasons, a less important one.
"Second, and more importantly, emotions bring desires, and for a highly developed intelligent life form, its strongest desire is definitely not primitive survival and reproduction, but the desire for knowledge, exploration, and desire.
The outside world keeps marching, sprinting, breaking all boundaries, fighting all the way to the edge of the universe, and then fighting out of the universe!
"Even if the leader of the Pangu civilization could disband the expedition fleet at that time, and even destroy the crystal brain, spiritual network and a series of technologies on how to use ghost energy, there is no guarantee that these technologies will not be used in the tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of years to come.
They will be developed secretly, and there will be ambitious and unscrupulous young people who will control a new generation of starships assisted by artificial intelligence and driven by psionic energy to break out of the three thousand worlds!
"After all, the universe is too big.
Even the 'small' three thousand worlds are actually an extremely vast sea of stars.
It is impossible to set up defenses everywhere.
As long as there is a will, someone will eventually be able to escape.
"It's still the same sentence.
Always remember this sentence.
Not even a ship, a person or even a cell in this world can escape.
If you escape and are scanned by the flood tide, it will be over!
"Then, in order to nip it in the bud and solve this problem from the source, it is not enough to destroy technology and dismantle starships.
We must also completely eradicate desire.
The desire for knowledge, exploration, curiosity and even imagination must not be present.
When looking up at the vast sea of stars, individuals who have no fluctuations in their hearts are the safest existences for Pangu civilization as a whole.
"And if you want to kill desire, you must first suppress emotions.
'Love' and 'desire' are two sides of the same coin.
It is safe enough to eliminate them at the same time!"
Li Yao opened his mouth and thought for a long time, and had to admit that Long Yangjun's statement made sense.
Isn't it curiosity and imagination that distinguish human beings from other ignorant beasts?
As long as humans still have curiosity, as long as humans still have imagination, when people look up at the stars, they will always want to know what is behind the star curtain.
In the end, countless people will give their wisdom, courage, blood, sweat and even their entire lives.
Get out!
Come to think of it, the original Pangu civilization was the same, right?
When you look up at the stars, you also feel the stormy waves and volcanic eruptions deep in your heart, right?
“Third, and the most important reason for ‘having to deprive emotions’” Long Yangjun continued to say deeply, "Stay away from fear and maintain order so that Pangu civilization can maintain a minimum orderly operation and retain the seeds of civilization."
Li Yao was slightly startled: "What do you mean, as long as we withdraw the expedition fleet and shrink back into the black wall, won't we be free from fear?
How can we maintain order?"
"You think too simplistically.
The Pangu civilization may not have seen flood tides at all, but only collected a few words about flood tides from the remains of other civilizations.
Their fear comes from deep in their hearts.
How can they stay away?"
Long Yangjun's expression was both sad and indifferent, or in other words, in order not to expose the deep sadness in his heart, he tried his best to pretend to be indifferent to himself, "I don't know if you have ever heard such a saying: When the end comes, the world will not be the same."
Destroyed by the end of the world, but by the chaos before the end of the world.
"Human nature, never overestimate human nature.

From the scale of the universe, both human beings and Pangu civilization are nothing more than a small speck of dust.
In the face of great terror, catastrophe, and the end, the vast majority of human beings and Pangu civilization No civilized individual can bear it.
"Li Yao, if everything I just said is true, how do you feel?
Do you feel shocked, horrified, or even despairing?"
"Well……" Li Yao scratched his head and said, "It's a little shocking, a little scary, but it's not like being completely despairing.
Hahahaha, I've experienced hundreds of battles.
I haven't seen any big scenes.
It's just a flood."
Chao, what's so scary?
If the tide is so powerful, jump to me now.
Come and hit me, come on, Hong Chao, you fucking jump out and hit me, hit me and hit me, idiot!
Look, nothing happened.
This means two things, either Hong Chao It is not omniscient and omnipotent, and it also has weaknesses.
At least it cannot detect our conversations, and it cannot move over instantly.
"Or, even Hong Chao is so afraid of me, 'Vulture Li Yao', that he doesn't even dare to show up and seek death after being scolded so bloody by me!"
Li Yao put his hands on his hips and cursed at the starry sky for a long time, and then he spoke seriously to Lord Long Yang.
Long Yangjun: "..."
Li Yao: "Hey, hey, hey, what do you mean?
What do you mean by turning around and leaving?
Everyone is obviously having a good time chatting and is very involved.
We are getting to the point.
Where are you going without saying a word?"
Long Yangjun: "I want to talk to Xiao Ming and Wen Wen.
I think it is more reliable to discuss with these two little babies than to chat with you."
"No, no, no, please finish what you just said!"
Li Yao had to persuade Long Yangjun to stay, and even swore, "I'll stop talking, okay?
I'll just listen to you, just listen to you!"
Long Yangjun half-closed his eyes, took several deep breaths, and then reluctantly said: "Forget it, asking you is redundant, I will just follow my own thinking.
"Leaving aside freaks like you, and peerless strong men like Boss Bai who have a firm Taoist heart, for the vast majority of ordinary people, and even strong men who have mastered powerful power but are not firm enough in the Taoist heart, the existence of Hongchao They don't hesitate to have a doomsday catastrophe.
"Outside the world we live in, there is a force that we cannot resist or even imagine.
This force has not destroyed us, just because we are lucky, but such good luck can never last forever!
One day, the flood tide will find us, find us, and lazily swallow us up!
“Thousands of civilizations have been destroyed by the flood, and no matter how we develop our own civilization, we cannot prevent the destruction from coming.
This is called ‘doomed’!
"Do you understand, Li Yao, that this kind of knowledge will lead to extreme fear deep in everyone's heart, will completely destroy the hope of a civilization's continued development, and will cause the flames of despair to sweep through every planet in the three thousand worlds.
Before the flood came, it would crush the entire Pangu civilization!
“Since destruction is inevitable, what’s the point of working hard now to build civilization?
“Since it has become absolutely taboo to break out of the Three Thousand Worlds, where will the future of Pangu civilization lead?
"There is a terrifying beast outside that is ready to eat us at any time.
How should the individuals of the Pangu civilization face their daily lives in panic?
“No one can answer these questions, but everyone will slowly wake up to the unacceptable answers.
The final result is that all individuals lose the meaning of life and become addicted to all kinds of primitive sensory stimulation and sensuality. , to end their remaining lives in a self-destructive way; in worst cases, there will be all kinds of psychopathic lunatics and madmen, who will simply break the jar and end their own civilization in the most extreme way.
You can imagine it as some kind of... civilized suicide!
"And what about the government?
Haha, the government at this time should have lost all authority, glory and ability to rule?
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
Since even the government cannot cope with the invasion of floods, what is the use of such a government?
"The Pangu civilization will degenerate at an alarming rate and quickly enter a state of anarchy.
Everyone will rush back and forth between the two extremes of complete despair and complete madness, as if they are all suffering from the most severe form of bipolar disorder, perhaps for a short time.
In just a hundred years, the extremely splendid civilization created by the Pangu Alliance created by the union of thirteen carbon-based intelligent races will be destroyed in one day!
"Let me ask you, as the leader of Pangu civilization, after foreseeing such a bleak future, you, in addition to depriving all people of emotions and desires, can prevent all people from fear, continue their 'normal' life and work, and maintain civilization.
What else can be done besides operating at a minimum level?”
Li Yao thought hard for a long time and said tangledly: "It seems to be true.
In fact, when people live, material things are not the most important.
The key is whether they can see hope.
As long as there is hope, it doesn't matter how difficult life is now, but If the road to the future is completely blocked by the flood, and there is no hope of development, the entire civilization will be lost.
There is a high probability that the government will collapse, order will be chaotic, and civilization will collapse.
"Having said that, erasing emotions and desires and blocking the development of all technologies will not be a problem in the long run.
In the end, isn't it still a dead end?"
"It's possible this is a stopgap measure."
Long Yangjun said, "Perhaps the leader of the Pangu civilization who originally made this decision believed that the flood tide would not patrol this area forever?
After tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands or even millions of years, the flood tide will always leave. , go to other places to forage, and then find ways to unlock the space for emotion, desire and technological progress, so that the seeds of civilization that have been running for at least millions of years can bloom and bear fruit again, and even climb over the black wall and rush into the universe.
Isn't this just 'Escaped from death'?"
