"Why?"
Cheng Xuansu rubbed the handle of the gun with his finger for a long time, laughed softly, looked at Cui Lingfeng's face carefully and said, "I should ask you this question, Mr.
Speaker, what kind of fanatical spirit can you have?"
To support your sick faith, It makes you firmly believe that the 'Star Sea Republic' still exists, and that the 'Firefly', which is made up of hundreds of scrap metal ships, can sail for another thousand years, and even one day return to the center of the Star Sea to defeat the extremely powerful Real human empire?”
"What Tang Dingyuan said is absolutely correct.
The Star Sea Republic has been dead a long time ago.
It was dead as early as a thousand years ago when Wu Yingqi rushed into the Supreme Council and announced that he was the speaker!
The Firefly is just its corpse.
We are nothing more than insignificant little bugs living in this decaying corpse!”
"Fight back to the center of the Star Sea and revive the Star Sea Republic?
It's impossible, stop dreaming!"
Cui Lingfeng stared at Cheng Xuansu, his eyes were like two sharp hooks, trying to hook her head open to see clearly.
His voice was low, but full of desperate power: "Xuansu, even you are like this Do you think?
Even if this is really a dream, it is not just my dream, but also your father’s.
The dream of millions of people!
Your father, and countless heroes like your father, devoted their lives to this dream without regrets, and dedicated their all to... a thousand years!
How could you, how could you think so, leaving a little hope in that great country?”
Cheng Xuansu's face was indifferent, but the light in his crystal eyes became deeper and deeper, turning red to purple and then turning black.
He said coldly: "Once again, that man is not my father.
The hope of the so-called 'Star Sea Republic' is just You old immortals are just deceiving yourself and others in your dreams, what does it have to do with me?"
"Perhaps for you, the 'Star Sea Republic' really represents a great history, represents many things, and represents everything about you!
Many of you were born in the center of the Star Sea, grew up in the heyday of the Star Sea Republic, and witnessed with your own eyes the You enjoyed its power and prosperity just like my sperm provider, and then you were packed into a hibernation warehouse like zombies, hibernating all the way to this day.
Naturally, you never forget that past country that was long ago annihilated.”
"But what about me?"
"I was born on this cold, dark, cramped and damp broken ship.
From the time I can remember, I have faced endless disasters.
Today it is a leak in this cabin, tomorrow it is the explosion of that pipeline, and the day after tomorrow it is man-made disasters.
Famine caused by greenhouse failure!”
"Behind us are thousands of imperial soldiers pursuing us, and in front of us is the dark star sea that no human being has ever set foot on.
And our broken ship is rusting and rotting day after day, and there is no hope at all!"
"That's it, that's all.
But you still want to use the "former glory of the Star Sea Republic" to deceive yourself and others, and you still want to tell jokes about "fighting back to the center of the Star Sea"!"
"Just because I am that man's daughter, just because his blood flows in my body, and just because of your nonsense, I have 'voluntarily' accepted the most rigorous training since I was five years old.
Stimulated by lies, , constantly pushing to the limit, trying to turn himself into a 'hero' like that man, until in the end, he turned himself into... now a scarred, inhuman appearance!
" "Then, after discovering that you have been deceived and that what you have worked hard for half your life is just a complete joke and will never be realized, isn't it a normal reaction to choose 'betrayal'?"
"You ask me why I chose the Real Human Empire?
Haha, it's very simple.
I've had enough of the days on the Firefly!
The dull air, the small cabin, the food that tastes like chewing wax, and the fear day and night, it seems This dark voyage with no hope at all like a headless fly...
I’ve had enough of all this!”
"I have dedicated the first half of my life to the rotting corpse of the Star Sea Republic.
For the second half of my life, I want to change my way of living and live like a real person!"
Cui Lingfeng now looks like a zombie that has been dead for a long time.
He hissed: "Even so, even if you really... don't want to stay on the Firefly, you can choose the Star Federation!"
Cheng Xuansu sneered: "What is the difference between the Xingyao Federation and the Xinghai Republic?

You are destined to be unable to withstand the conquest of the True Human Empire.
I have already fled once, and I don't want to be a lost dog again.
I don't even want to die!
The Empire can give it to me.
Everything you want, everything!”
Cui Lingfeng said sadly: "So you betrayed your compatriots and degenerated into an immortal cultivator?"
Cheng Xuansu looked at him with a sarcastic face: "What's the difference between a cultivator and an immortal cultivator?
Of course everyone can say nice things, 'The cultivator is the sword of human civilization', 'The cultivator is born to protect ordinary people', but , is this really the case?”
"If you cultivators of the Star Sea Republic are really that great, then with the support of ordinary people, what chance does the former Wu Yingqi have to usurp the power of the Supreme Council and become the 'Black Star Emperor'?"
"Just saying that on the little Firefly, the higher your cultivation level, the better treatment and greater power you will enjoy?"
"Ordinary people and low-level sailors live in small, dark and damp cabins.
Many people don't even have their own independent sleeping compartments and have to share a room with their families and take turns sleeping."
"And the high-ranking cultivators, whether they are your congressmen or Tang Dingyuan's gang of bridge commanders, can enjoy treatment that is dozens of times better than ordinary people.
At least you don't have to take turns to squeeze into a sleeping cabin, 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 low-level sailor.
This is just a legal difference in treatment.
As for those councilors under your command I am too lazy to talk about the illegal activities, the use of power to collect materials, the black market transactions, etc.
In this case, what is the difference between cultivators and immortal cultivators, and what is the essence of the Star Sea Republic and the True Human Empire?
What’s the difference?”
Cui Lingfeng's face turned red and white: "This, this is an extraordinary period, a last resort!"
"Yeah, it's an extraordinary time."
Cheng Xuansu smiled, "I still remember the last 'extraordinary period'.
Because of the extreme shortage of food, the parliament at that time even made a decision that no one was allowed to get pregnant and give birth naturally, and sperm and eggs had to be frozen.
According to The circulation of materials and population changes on the ship are used to accurately control the number of newborns.
I was born under this policy.
Is this something that a cultivator can do?
" The corners of Cui Lingfeng's eyes twitched, as if his heart was being severely ravaged, and he gasped: "That is a difficult decision, but we have no choice.
The resources and space on the ship are so limited.
If the population explosion is allowed, In the end, uncontrollable violence will occur and we will fall into a horrific hell of cannibalism!”
"Facts have proven that this policy is effective.
We have gone through a difficult hundred years, finally overcome the problem of food shortage, and allowed our society to return to normal and regain vitality!"
Cheng Xuansu said: "Sir Speaker, do you think I was opposing the policy at that time?
No, on the contrary, I very much agreed with this policy.
Under the circumstances at that time, we had no choice if we wanted to continue our civilization.
The only solution!”
“When I realized this, I suddenly understood and figured it out!”
"Many times, right or wrong doesn't make sense, and it doesn't make sense to cultivate truth or immortality, because we have no choice."
"The resources of the Firefly are limited, and the space is limited, but the growth of the population can reach unlimited at any time.
For the continuation of civilization, we have made many... choices without any choice."
"In a broad sense, isn't the entire human civilization helmed by the True Human Empire just a larger 'Firefly' in the vast dark universe?
Perhaps, in order to allow the entire human civilization to continue, the empire I have to make a lot of choices without any choice!”
Cui Lingfeng was really stunned, thought for a moment, and trembled deeply: "You, where on earth did you learn so many... deviant thoughts!"
Cheng Xuansu smiled: "Don't underestimate the wild country on the border of Xinghai.
Aren't the legendary worldly masters all living in such a place?
President Lu Qingchen of the 'Dilin Society' is really an expert on cultivating immortals."

There is a scholar who has done profound research on Dao, and many of his ideas are enlightening and enlightening!”
"Okay, if you don't have anything to ask, let's stop here."
"I'm sorry, Mr.
Speaker...
No, Uncle Cui, even though you have lied to me with those lies for decades, I'd better call you Uncle Cui again!
No one wants things to end like this.
Really, this is not personal.
The grudge is not even a dispute between the great ways.
I just want to live the kind of real human life that I should have had long ago. " Cheng Xuansu raised his pistol and pointed it between Cui Lingfeng's eyebrows, "I remember that time, every time I practiced until I was exhausted and couldn't get up anymore, you would encourage me and say that as long as I persist to the end, I will be able to create miracles!"
"However, unfortunately, I have really not believed in the existence of miracles for a long, long time."
Cui Lingfeng's face was ashen, and he looked as if he could not express more than a single word.
"that……" Li Yao scratched his hair and raised his hand to speak.
"Um?"
Cheng Xuansu raised his eyebrows, and the red light from his crystal eyes locked on Li Yao, "Professor Rhodes, I'm sorry to involve you in this matter.
I can only count you as having bad luck.
Do you have any last words?"
?”
"I don't have any last words, but I really want to say a few words."
Li Yao looked at Cui Lingfeng, then at Cheng Xuansu, blinked and said, "First, I think, the universe is so big, there will still be such things as 'miracles' occasionally."
"Second, between the two of us, there is indeed one person who is unlucky today, but it should be...not me."
