Chapter 1138: Reciprocity
Regarding Connor's reply, Chu Tianjiang could not say that he was satisfied, nor was he dissatisfied.
It's just that Chu Tianjiang knew that Zhang Xiaogang was very satisfied with Connor's reply, otherwise he wouldn't have stopped and let Chu Tianjiang decide whether to let him go.
"I have a question that I haven't figured out."
Connor smiled and put on a deaf look, waiting for Chu Tianjiang to bring it up.
"That's why you surrendered to me?"
"Not exactly."
"Really?"
Connor let out a long breath and said, "First of all, your strength is above mine, and even if you resist, I will definitely not be your opponent." Obviously, if I hadn't surrendered, I would have been killed by you, and I would never have been able to have today, and I obviously didn't want to die at your hands. As for the reason, I told you a long time ago. Of course, you didn't kill me directly, but gave me a chance to surrender, making me believe that you are not an ordinary intelligent life, at least you are not very different from the intelligent life I am familiar with, and will give me a chance. I wasn't completely sure at the time, but I believe that since you kept me alive, you may have a common enemy with me. ”
Chu Tianjiang nodded slightly, and said, "But you also know that even if I am willing to let you go, I will definitely not let go of the wisdom civilization you created." ”
"Do you think I need wisdom and civilization to rely on?"
"You are the creator."
"Of course, I'm a creator, but I've long since given up being a creator. Obviously, you should know that the creator has long ceased to rely on intelligent civilization. ”
Chu Tianjiang nodded slightly and said, "So, don't you have any feelings for the intelligent civilization you created?" ”
"Whether you want to believe it or not, let alone the wisdom and civilization, even for the people, I don't have the slightest feeling, and for the creator, the feeling itself is a very luxurious thing. Of course, in the four-dimensional universe, there is no such thing at all. It is undeniable that some creators have feelings, such as the creator who came with you to deal with me, she has very strong feelings, and they are aimed at you. It's just that the feelings of the creator are not brought from the four-dimensional universe, but after coming to the three-dimensional universe, they are influenced by intelligent beings like you, and not all creators will be affected. ”
Chu Tianjiang didn't say much, because what Connor said was indeed the truth.
"Of course, to put it mildly, only the weak creator will be affected after the dimensionality reduction, and will have feelings that only intelligent beings born in the three-dimensional cosmic space have." Connor paused for a moment and said, "Actually, powerful creators don't have feelings. If my guess is correct, the creators of humanity were originally weak, and human civilization was originally weak. It's just that human civilization is lucky enough to thrive in the war of intelligent civilizations, and individuals like you have had an impact on the creators. In addition, in the entire Abaka family, there is no such creator at all, or that kind of creator, and the intelligent civilization it created, which has long been extinct in the war of intelligent civilizations, and those who can survive until now are powerful creators. ”
Chu Tianjiang sighed secretly, Connor was not wrong.
"Satisfied with this explanation of mine?"
Chu Tianjiang smiled reluctantly and said, "You didn't lie, but what you said made me think that it was impossible for us to become true friends." ”
"You want us to be true friends?"
Chu Tianjiang was slightly stunned, and did not react for a moment.
"Obviously, you don't know much about the Creator, or rather, your mind hasn't changed. Doesn't the creator of the Dao have no feelings for what he does? In the four-dimensional universe, although kinship has an impact on the status of each creator, kinship brings strength, not status, and only strength can determine status. For creators, at least for creators like us who can survive the war of intelligent civilizations, strength is everything. Of course, if feelings can give us enough strength, we will also have feelings. You say that we can't be true friends, but that's true, because I'm the creator, even if I've given up my identity as the creator, and you're an intelligent life born in the three-dimensional universe, and we're not on the same level at all. But one thing is important, you are stronger than me, even more powerful than most of the creators I know. If my understanding of you is correct, you can become stronger, even surpassing all the creators I know, and become the only super being in this universe who is tender enough to challenge Becca and Abaka. Obviously, your strength is the foundation of the partnership. I also don't want to be your friend, nor do I expect to be your friend, but that doesn't stop us from joining forces against a common enemy. ”
After Connor finished speaking, Chu Tianjiang was silent.
Obviously, Connor spoke of the most crucial issue, that is, the cooperation between human civilization and the creator, and strength is the most important basic guarantee.
To put it bluntly, if Chu Tianjiang's strength was not strong enough, Connor would not cooperate with him at all.
Of course, if Chu Tianjiang's strength was not above Connor, Connor would not have surrendered to him in the first place.
"How?" Zhang Xiaogang couldn't help but ask.
"How are you going to work with us?" Chu Tianjiang changed the subject.
Connor smiled and said, "At the beginning, you already mentioned that human civilization waged war against the Trulli people and conquered millions of star systems. Although this loss is nothing to Abaka, and there is no need to even launch a counterattack against human civilization for this, it is not a trivial matter for the other intelligent civilizations in the family. No intelligent civilization has ever taken so many star systems from the Trulli people before you. In fact, in the war of intelligent civilizations of the Abaka family, no intelligent civilization has defeated the Trulli, and even if they counterattacked, it was only to recapture the star system captured by the Trulli people. ”
"This ......"
"If it weren't for the threat from the outside world, especially the Becca family, Abaka would definitely not have ended the War of Wisdom and Civilization so early." Connor sighed and said, "At that time, Abaka was fully capable of destroying all intelligent civilizations and taking over all the star systems in his family. It was only after receiving the news that the Becca family had also broken out the Wisdom Civilization War, and that Becca was holding his ground, that Abaka realized that the threat from Becca was greater, and the family war was inevitable, and he needed enough wisdom civilization to win the family war, so he compromised with the Creator Alliance, ended the Wisdom Civilization War, and gave us a chance to continue to survive. ”
"What do you mean......"
"Obviously, we never saw Abaka as a partner to work with. For those of us who survived, working with Abaka was a stopgap measure. Anyway, before that, I also thought that if the Abaka family lost the war, we would surely perish. On the contrary, if we help Abaka win the war and thrive in the family war, there is a silver lining. ”
Chu Tianjiang nodded thoughtfully, indicating that he understood what Connor meant.
"Of course, it's not just my thoughts, it's the thoughts of all the family members. Unfortunately, I'm the only one who has been in contact with you, and I know that you're not working for Becca. Obviously, no matter which family we belong to, what we are pursuing is the right to survive in the three-dimensional universe, and our enemies are super beings like Becca and Abaka, so we are born allies. ”
"Can you convince the other members of the Creators Alliance?" Zhang Xiaogang asked.
"Obviously, it is impossible for me to give you such assurances. The reason is simple, not all members of the Creators Alliance are as strong as me. For some powerful family members, joining the Creator Alliance is really just an opportunity to increase their strength. What's more, they all think they can defeat Abaka, or become a super being like Abaka. All we can do is try to convince other family members, especially those who are weaker, to cooperate with human civilization. ”
"It's not human civilization, it's an alliance of intelligent civilizations."
"Does it make a difference?"
Chu Tianjiang glanced at Connor and said, "I believe your words, the creator has no feelings, but since he wants to cooperate with us, then the creator has to admit that in the three-dimensional universe, there is no difference between the creator and intelligent life, and the status of intelligent civilization must be recognized." ”
Connor smiled reluctantly and didn't say anything more.
"Of course, if you don't have this understanding, then our cooperation will definitely not last long, and there is no need to cooperate."
"There is no superfluous choice for you."
Chu Tianjiang smiled coldly and said, "If the Alliance of Wisdom and Civilization has no other choice, then our only way out is to fight to the last moment. At least for those of us who are born in the three-dimensional universe, it is not impossible to accept death, and I believe that there will be many individuals who are willing to die for their ideals. Unfortunately, you also have no choice. ”
Connor was silent, of course he understood the meaning of Chu Tianjiang's words.
If Chu Tianjiang can die for his ideals, then Connor will definitely not be able to do it, and other creators will not be able to do it either.
"Connor, what is your purpose in giving up your identity as a creator?"
Connor was slightly stunned and looked at Zhang Xiaogang.
"Obviously, you have to do it because you want to be stronger. Then, you should know what we are more suitable for the three-dimensional space. ”
Connor frowned, but then laughed.
