Li Yao could clearly feel Cui Lingfeng's Taoist heart wavering, just like the flickering starlight in the dark universe, and couldn't help but said anxiously: "Sir Speaker, you are not also bewitched by Lu Qingchen and Ding Zhengyang's so-called 'Cultivation of Immortality 2.0', are you?
" "No."
Cui Lingfeng shook his head and said, "Long before Ding Zhengyang said all this, even as early as ten years ago, when we met another cultivator at the edge of the star sea, Wen Xingyao Federation, I had been thinking about these issues.
"Do you know why I have always been resistant to fully integrating into the Star Federation?
The stubborn pride in the Star Sea Republic and the distrust of the Federation are of course on the one hand, but more importantly, perhaps more importantly... our own Suspect.
“The former Xinghai Republic, that great country in its golden age that had not yet given birth to the monster ‘Black Star Emperor Wu Yingqi’, is certainly something to be proud of.
“But after that, after giving birth to Wu Yingqi, and then running away and wandering in the sea of stars for a thousand years, is the ‘legitimate government’ still something to be proud of?
"Once our integration with the Starry Federation accelerates, all the efforts we have made for survival in the past thousand years will be completely exposed, and those secrets locked deep in the Speaker's office may not be so exciting, soul-stirring, and evocative. , aboveboard!
“I don’t know what the Federation people will think of us once all those documents are declassified and they know everything that happened on the Firefly in the past thousand years.
"Will they still regard us as 'real cultivators', or will they regard us as another form, a miniature 'civilization of immortal cultivators' that is undergoing transformation, and thus dislike us, reject us, and be wary of us?
"Understand, maybe, from the deepest part of my heart, I am not refusing to join the Federation, but I am afraid that the Federation will refuse our joining after discovering all the truth!"
Li Yao took a deep breath and felt that Cui Lingfeng looked particularly different under the reflection of the deep sea of stars.
Perhaps, this is the truest side of the Supreme Speaker of the Star Sea Republic.
After experiencing so much darkness, lies, and struggles, there was only a thin line between him, everyone on the ship, and the immortal cultivators such as Ding Zhengyang and Cheng Xuansu.
Cui Lingfeng stared blankly outside the crystal dome, letting the stars penetrate his old and weak body like arrows, and said quietly: "But, we have no choice.
"I don't know whether Lu Qingchen's 'Cultivation of Immortality 2.0' as reported by Ding Zhengyang is universally applicable truth, but at least on the Firefly, it seems irrefutable.
If we never encounter the Star Star Federation, All the way to the uninhabited depths of the universe If the land of fur is in exile, starships are becoming more and more dilapidated, resources are becoming scarcer, and the population is increasing day by day, how long can the so-called path of cultivation persist?
In the end, without the erosion and bewitchment of the true human empire, we will all take the initiative?
Become an immortal cultivator, the most terrifying immortal cultivator!
"The resources in the universe are limited, but the explosion of life can be infinite.
Extreme scarcity of resources is the normal state of the universe.
All of us, whether the Federation, the Empire, the Holy Alliance or the Republic, are just living on a larger ship.
The "Firefly" at one point is sailing towards the unknown darkness.
Therefore, the path of cultivating immortality that conforms to the universe is the ideal principle of a civilization and the real "way of heaven", which can make our civilization last forever.
Captain Immortal Lin, what do you think of this theory?
" Li Yao was silent for a long time under the cold starlight.
Cui Lingfeng thought that he could not answer such a question at all.
He waved his hand half-heartedly and was about to end the conversation when he suddenly said: "Sir Speaker, Firefly There are cockroaches on board.”
Cui Lingfeng was stunned: "Of course."
"And there's more than one.
At least I can sense more than a dozen different mutant races from the corners of my horns by just releasing a few rays of my spiritual thoughts."
Li Yaodao, "In terms of simply 'survival', cockroaches are actually a very successful species.
Not only are they more successful than us humans, they are even more successful than our parent civilizations, whether Pangu Civilization or Nuwa Civilization!"
"Judging from the research of our current archaeologists and historians, even our father civilization, Pangu and the Nuwa tribe, from their rise to their decline, they only happened from hundreds of thousands to one million years ago at most.
The 'lifespan' of an entire civilization would not exceed one or two million years.
"But cockroaches have appeared at least 350 million years ago.
So far, the 'life span' of this race is three hundred times longer than that of Pangu and the Nuwa race!
"Three hundred and five thousand years, countless splendid races and civilizations that once ruled the universe have been destroyed.
The dinosaur civilization, Pangu, Nuwa, the demon clan... the strong men, the arrogant overlords and the radiant people who once dominated the universe.
All civilizations were lost in the waves of time.
"But the little cockroach survived tenaciously, and with the footsteps of various prehistoric strongmen conquering the universe, it expanded to all parts of the three thousand worlds, and developed hundreds of millions of variants, no matter in the dark, cold, near-vacuum Inside an abandoned starship; on a desert planet where the surface temperature reaches over 100 degrees and rolling yellow sand; on an extremely cold frozen planet where dripping water turns into ice...
Cockroaches can quickly adapt to the environment and live well wherever they go.
"Although I am not sure, there is at least a 99% possibility that one day, when our human civilization is completely extinct, cockroaches will still not become extinct.
No matter how bad and cruel the environment is, they will continue to 'evolve' and continue Survive, survive for a billion years or more!
"In this sense, our human civilization may be just a passerby in the universe, while cockroaches are eternal."

Cui Lingfeng finally turned around, stared straight at Li Yao, frowned and said, "Captain Lin, what exactly do you want to say?"
Li Yaodao: "I want to say that if the meaning of a civilization's evolution is just to survive for a longer period of time, then the 'Cultivation of Immortals' is by no means the best choice for us humans, and 'Cultivation of Cockroaches' is the most optimal solution. , come up with a way, through genetic modulation or various secret cultivation techniques, to give up Abandon everything about us, from the fragile body to the useless kindness, kindness and morality, and turn everyone into some form of cockroaches.
Suppose that under certain circumstances, the Firefly really falls into darkness and everyone kills each other. , all the survivors have become immortal cultivators, but you still can’t survive the cockroaches on the ship, right?”
Cui Lingfeng was speechless and fell into deep thought.
"Do you think I'm being sophistical?"
Li Yao smiled and opened his arms to the sea of stars, "Actually, these past few days, I have been thinking about the words of 'Zhenren Lu' from Di Linhui.
The so-called 'Cultivation of Immortality 2.0' sounds good at first glance.
Indeed, darkness is the master of the universe."
Hue, the weak eat the strong, and the fittest survive, this is the 'law of nature'.
"However, I suddenly thought that the so-called 'civilization' is meant to go against nature and change the universe.
Since our earliest ancestors lit the first flame on an unknown planet and set the mountain on fire, From the beginning, we have been changing the planet under our feet and the universe above our heads step by step.
Such changes may be good or bad, and sometimes they may even lead to disastrous consequences, but we have never stopped moving forward.
We grit our teeth and persevere, bit by bit, using our will to change and conquer the universe. , and the universe is the enemy.
The so-called "fighting against heaven and earth is endless fun", that's exactly what it is!
"The universe is so vast and powerful, and the result of being an enemy of the universe is ninety-nine times out of ten, being crushed into powder.
Therefore, the immortal cultivators surrendered and retreated.
They pledged their allegiance to the dark universe and surrendered to the cruel nature.
The "principles of the universe" changed them and destroyed the "human nature" that our ancestors worked hard for hundreds of thousands of years to condense.
"Even so, what good results can the civilization of immortal cultivators achieve?
No matter how they grovel, compromise, give up everything, and constantly change themselves, they will never be able to live longer than cockroaches!
"No, that's not right.
In my opinion, only a race that dares to declare war on the universe with its own will is qualified to be called a 'civilization'.
A 'civilization' is born to conquer the universe and put the Taoist heart of its own civilization into the world." , implemented into every corner of the sea of stars!
"Without such determination, no matter how extraordinary the supernatural powers or powerful martial arts you master, they are just driven by the instinct of survival.
They are just pitiful playthings created by the universe!
"So, whether it's 2.0 or 5.0, it's useless.
In my opinion, it's not qualified to be called a 'civilization of immortals'.
It's just a group of steel cockroaches living in the sea of stars.
"Perhaps they have pointed out some of the principles of nature and the laws of the universe.
In the words of the ancient cultivation era, they have awakened to the 'way of heaven', right?
The way of heaven is vast, and Shunchang is going against the will.
But cultivation is inherently against heaven!
Come out, everyone.
If you don’t even dare to go against the will of heaven, why don’t you cultivate yourself!”
The more Li Yao talked, the more excited he became, dancing and spitting.
Cui Lingfeng looked at him blankly, and suddenly burst into laughter.
He laughed so hard that his face turned red and he was out of breath.
Every wrinkle on his face was trembling, as if all the darkness and pain in the past thousand years were accumulated in his heart.
The haze laughed.
"I finally completely believe that you are no longer an immortal cultivator."
He burst into tears as he laughed, "A cultivator will never say such a thing, even if he pretends, he can't do it."
He handed a silver-colored jade slip to Li Yao, "This is the key to the 'Legitimate Government' confidential information center.
It has been kept by Cheng Xuansu in the past.
It records all the splendor and glory of the Xinghai Republic in its golden years." " Li Yao blinked and finally understood Cui Lingfeng's purpose of talking to him.
This seems to be a special test.
