Chapter 71 Selfish Surplus

If you want the answers to be clear and reliable, you must also ask questions in a standardized and clear manner. Now, Joshua’s questions are so broad that no one knows how to answer them.

In this regard, Joshua did not care about the gazes of other legendary powerful men. After thinking for a while, he continued: "In detail, let's take you as an example - knowledge takers, are there no opponents in your civilization?"

There was no answer in the communication channel. The knowledge receiver did not seem to understand Joshua's meaning. The warrior smiled and continued: "I know that the greatness of your civilization, you and your ancestors, have wandered in this dark multiverse for millions and millions of years. For the sake of inheritance, you have been patrolling this multivariate galaxy for 770,000 years. I know that you must have made up your mind long ago. If you need to sacrifice one day, you will sacrifice without hesitation, just as when you know that we are coming, because you suspect that there is an evil god chasing us, you will come with your clan and prepare to build a fortress in the galaxy of the two realms to resist the invasion of darkness for the multivariate galaxy and become a solid shield in front of all civilizations."

The latter sentence, Joshua can be regarded as a praising the other party, which immediately made other legendary powerful men look at each other and feel inexplicably terrified. However, the knowledge receivers on the other end of the communication channel did not know these, so they naturally would not deny these words, because this was indeed what they thought at the time.

"but."

As the tone changed, Joshua's tone suddenly became cold, and with doubts, the warrior raised his right hand and stroked it in front of him. He whispered: "But, a civilization, it is really possible that everyone is a brave man, and everyone is a warrior who is not afraid of sacrifice? They are not afraid of death, are they selfless and have great sentiments, will they sacrifice themselves for the inheritance of knowledge and civilization, and will they shed blood for the future of the multiverse? Everyone in a civilization is like this?"

"I do not believe in that."

This is Joshua's doubt.

Those who take over knowledge are indeed great in terms of civilization.

In order to inherit knowledge, to inherit the messages of the sages of the past, and to inherit the history of countless races in the past, they wandered silently in the diverse galaxy for hundreds of thousands of years. They could go to the forefront of the World-Devouring War without hesitation and fight against evil things that are enough to destroy the world and erase civilization. They are not afraid of sacrifice and are full of courage. They can proudly claim that their race has chosen the "future destined to be destroyed", and can even leave all inheritance to other civilizations when they are not enough to move forward, and they fight for the possibility and time of the future for their successors.

This is so great.

Too great to strangely.

"Impossible. The factors that inherit the instinct of intelligent life will make people deny these too great sentiments."

The warrior said this, his tone was calm: "I am afraid of death, selfish, denying greatness, and believing that there must be stains behind those great decisions, and there are private reasons we do not know. They will not be willing to sacrifice themselves for things that are too great, nor will they bleed and fight for civilization, future and inheritance."

"—Although the world will be destroyed in a hundred years, what does it have to do with me? Anyway, the world will not be destroyed before I die. If that is the case, why do I have to pay for the future? I will care about the flood after I die."

"—Although there will be powerful enemies invasion in the future, what does it have to do with me? I ran far away. What racial civilization has to do with it. As long as I can survive this life, it doesn't matter."

"—I want to enjoy it. Others sacrifice their lives. It has nothing to do with me. As long as I live well, everything doesn't matter. No one can affect me in the life I want. Whoever affects my life is the enemy."

Joshua's words were not sharp. He just spoke very ordinaryly, in simple language: "For example, the screening process of our Mycrov Expeditionary Force is very hard. There are not many people in the world who dare to take risks at all. Most people cannot understand the importance of "finding the truth behind the multiverse". They can only see that navigating in the void is very dangerous, fighting with other civilizations is very hard, and the privileges of the extraordinary will also disappear in the fleet. Therefore, there are obviously many strong extraordinary people, but they do not intend to join the fleet. They would rather stay in a peaceful and safe rear than take risks, and enjoy privileges and live happily and comfortably."

——The truth? Is it important? Can it be eaten? Can it be enjoyed? Can it make me live happier? Since it doesn’t work, why should I pursue it? What? It is related to the future of the multiverse and the existence of countless civilizations? Forget it, I might have died long ago at that time, so what does it have to do with me.

"Knowledge takeovers, our Mycrov civilization does have such problems. In our entire civilization, there must be people who are willing to take risks, and people who like to enjoy more... Reasonably, the former cannot be said to be great, but it can only be said to be unthinking clearly, a little stupid, and easily incited by slogans, while the latter cannot be said to be selfish, but it can only be said to be more refined selfish. This voyage across the void has made a big difference between the two, which is inevitable for our Mycrov civilization, but I have not seen it in you."

What Joshua said has made several legendary powerful men look unnatural - this time the warrior brought all his students here, and the first team, the elite team, and Lisa and others were basically all brought over, but for Barbarossa, there were several of his disciples who made excuses not to join the fleet. The legendary wizard must have seen the reasons behind this, but as a teacher, he was not qualified to ask his students to do things that were life-threatening for an illusory slogan.

As legendary strong men, they have enlightenment, but their three views are not the three views of ordinary people, and their opinions are not the opinions of ordinary people. This is not to advocate the difference between strong people and ordinary people, but in fact, legendary strong men are the group of rulers and strong people at the top of the entire civilization, and their position cannot represent the entire civilization at all.

What Joshua said is indeed the truth. The fleet of knowledge receivers is so huge that it is enough to distort the trajectory of the world. The number of their race individuals is probably calculated in hundreds of billions. In this huge race, is it not that everyone is willing to sacrifice their lives for the mission of knowledge receivers?

Joshua's question indeed made several other legendary powerful men confused - they also felt that this kind of thing was unlikely to happen.

However, the answer from the knowledge receiver is simple.

"That's because you're still in illusion."

There was no panic due to Joshua's inquiry, nor any unnecessary emotions. The knowledge receiver replied seriously: "The wild beasts that live only during the day cannot understand the ideas of night-distance creatures, and the creatures that wander in the warm seasons do not understand the cold winter at all. The star-falling Mycrov civilization was born in light and grew up in light. You grew up on the wreckage of the Guang Age and were cared for by the Seven Gods and many powerful people. This illusion has given too many extra extra money."

"But, for this multiverse, 'light' is an illusion. 'peace' is an illusion. 'equality' and 'stability' even the idea of ​​'I can escape, be good for the sake of oneself' is a very wrong illusion."

When the knowledge takeover said this, he seemed to be a little uncontrollable to smile: "How dangerous and dark this multiverse is, only those living in illusions will feel that 'I can get out of the whole of civilization and be good for the whole.'. Not to mention the wandering monsters and the world-swalkers, even other civilizations, other loners who also hold similar ideas are extremely dangerous. If they just want to find a remote world to live in seclusion and live a boring and empty life, such a life is a punishment, so why bother to care whether he escapes?"

"Mrs. Mycrore, what you have every day will not appear precious... Your tribe and your civilization were born in the bright era, and those who are used to the daylight at birth will not expect the "sunrise".

Only those who were born in the dark and experienced the most desperate and darkest moments would look forward to the light brightness of the sky and the morning that ended the night - just like us, we experienced the end of the previous great cycle, and were chased by the cluster of world-devourers like dogs, we ran endlessly in the dark void, watching our galaxy being swallowed by the darkness and disappeared into the endless sea of ​​stars.

We have fallen into the abyss and have not crawled out of it so far.

We actually don’t understand the concept of “self-keeping alone” at all, and we don’t understand the difference between “selflessness” and “selfishness”. As for death, it is liberation. Isn’t it fun to be liberated from this gloomy and desperate multiverse? What’s more, from the root of logic, we and you are different races, different creatures, your body is based on “life energy”, and we are a group of people living in “magic power”. If we have to say the same thing, it is that we all want to expel the dark night in the multiverse, which is also the fundamental reason why we can communicate.”

The knowledge receiver said lightly - their words were completely cluttered by magical fluctuations. If it weren't for the special machinery, Mrs. Mycrolo would not be able to perceive it at all. Similarly, Mrs. Mycrolo's sonic language was also cluttered to them. If it weren't for the physical fleets encountering each other, the knowledge receiver and Mrs. Mycrolo would probably find it difficult to detect each other even if they live in the same world.

"Let civilized individuals have the surplus of ‘selfishness’, ‘fear of death’, ‘unwilling to sacrifice’, ‘delicate self-interest’, which is what many civilizations living in the dark are undesirable. It is precisely because life is too comfortable that makes people have the surplus to think about the contradiction between ‘individual’ and ‘group’, that they have this idea. Mrs. Mycrore, you have done so well, so you have this kind of distress, like we have been wandering in the sea of ​​stars for 700,000 years, and even the method of ‘happy enjoyment’ has been forgotten.

You remember to drink, have sex, enjoy food, appreciate the art of words and drawings. You know these are happy things, so some people will give up their faith for these happy things. This is helpless. However, we, in the process of inheriting knowledge, have forgotten all the pleasure techniques, and we have forgotten how our race enjoyed happiness in the past. None of this information has been left behind.

So among us, no one will deviate from the subject and lose faith because of the reason of "enjoyment", and we are united. Of course, perhaps one day, we will regain the way of enjoyment in the past, so that our civilization will lose the centripetal force that is now, but is it a bad thing or a good thing? It is unknown."

Joshua listened silently to the other party's words, and the warrior remained silent, and all legends, including the old pope, were respectful to it.

Although it is only a few words, there are too many things that the knowledge takeover has given up for the mission of inheritance.

They record countless knowledge and cultures of other races, but they have forgotten the means of enjoyment in their civilization. They voluntarily gave up all "fun" and all unnecessary thoughts in order to be able to think rationally for hundreds of thousands of years and maintain the absolute cohesion of civilization as one top and bottom.

As for civilization alone, the civilized form of knowledge-takers has become so deformed that it cannot be more deformed, and their thinking logic is very distorted.

Therefore, we must admire, respect, and respect.

"But even if we, our descendants, have really stepped into the world of light with one foot, they will definitely not expect the sunrise."

The Knowledge Receiver is still answering that the commander of the First Fleet should be the top leader of the Knowledge Receiver fleet. Its communication technique is similar to that of the ordinary Mrs. Mycroro. It can be seen that he has worked hard for this exchange. Now, he is expounding his true thoughts in a helpless tone.

"But how to say... all we can do is this. Although it is ironic, what we are working hard now is to allow future people to have the right to be selfish and selfish, afraid of death and sacrifice without worrying about survival and future. After all, heroes are respectable, but it is sad to have a civilization that must have heroes, or even only heroes."

...

The exchange is over.

The old pope took out a book silently and outlined notes with holy light. The already taciturn elf queen sat aside, looking at the empty cosmic vacuum outside the window. It seemed that no one except Joshua had such a private problem.

But is this really Joshua's personal idea? Everyone present expressed doubts that this kind of problem would be normal if Isreil asked, or the Elf Queen, Pope Iger. Joshua doesn't seem to care about this kind of problem at all. He would not even consider how many fleets there are behind him, and would go directly to him when encountering enemies.

He would also think about how many dissonant sounds there are in civilization? He wouldn't care at all! It would be better for those who dare to charge with him to charge, and it doesn't matter if there is no one. He wouldn't try to understand those who are unwilling to fight. He is only himself - Joshua is such a person, which is the impression left in the hearts of all legendary strong men.

But now it seems that he is not as simple as everyone thinks.

But there was no question.

Everyone remained silent throughout the envoy ship.

In the world of Arnarson, two small warships left in the opposite direction, the bright white light of the A-type star shone with a light blue gloss.

Joshua stood at the bridge, and he stood in front of the battleship, with his hands behind his back.

"In order to ensure the stability of 770,000 years of inheritance and civilization, the entire race abandons selfish desires and pleasures. In this way, they can make decisions and make decisions as a whole without hesitation. Their belief comes from the persistence of abandoning all interference."

The warrior turned his back to the stars, and the power of the flames in the world of Anasan was gradually moving away. The envoy was preparing to break into the void, while he was still thinking about various problems.

"So, 160 million years ago, from the birth of the evil god until now, the mastermind behind the hidden and darkness, or the mastermind behind the scenes, gave up so much and how much interference they had abandoned to do such a thing in such a long time? It was simply such a large-scale destruction, extinction, and a cleansing like reincarnation?"

Similarly, what about those strong people who are determined to fight against all this, such as the Demon Sage? What kind of belief do they have, so they can always insist on fighting against the strong people from other places and go to the axis of the multiverse without hesitation?

You should know that if the strong want to give up and enjoy themselves, it is easier than ordinary people... The countless pseudo-transcendent civilizations that restrict the development of civilizations are for their own rule. Most of them are because the strong cannot control their desires. If the strong want to give up their responsibilities, then they really don’t need to care whether this multiverse is dark and can enjoy it for countless years.

Even because the evil gods only attacked civilizations with a level 2 or above, as long as their world civilization is primitive enough, they can even enjoy the end of the galaxy.

Time is too long... Can human enlightenment and the belief of legendary strong men really persevere in this long journey?

Joshua does not believe in humans, does not believe in too illusory beliefs, and does not believe that time cannot leave any trace of an existence.

So, he said to himself: "Now I can only be sure that I will not change my beliefs in the next few million years."

——It seems that we can only strive to solve all this within millions of years.

Even he could not guarantee whether he would change in the future. As a strong man, he admitted his shortcomings. Thinking of this, Joshua shook his head helplessly.
