Chapter 966: A Rational Choice
Outside of the first star, it is not an easy thing for two creators to come together.
The Debarang people stopped first, and Chu Tianjiang also stopped immediately. He already felt that Beshidron's strength was far inferior to Ali's, and what he had was only a third-level convergence star core, which was comparable to Barkley's at the beginning. Because Beshidron is Becca's sister-in-law, it is impossible for him to hide his strength like Barkley. Besides, this distance was nothing at all for Chu Tianjiang, who could move at the speed of light.
"Aleigh."
"Beshidron, I didn't expect us to meet here."
"Yes, this should be the first time we have met since coming to the three-dimensional space." Beckydelon smiled faintly and said, "I've been to Shouxing and participated in the battle selection within the family, but I haven't met you or seen you, which has to be said to be a pity. β
"So, you miss the old days?"
"Well, it's not nostalgia. In the four-dimensional universe, our status and strength are fixed, and no one can change them. Although that kind of life is not thrilling and dangerous, it is not very exciting. Anyway, we can't go back to the past. β
"You came to me just to talk to me about these things?"
"Ali, we are not enemies. You can accept my request for negotiations, and to be here shows that we are not enemies. β
Ali smiled reluctantly, at least Beshidron wasn't entirely wrong.
"Obviously, it's good for all of us to live in peace."
"Beshidron, you should know that after so many things have happened, it is impossible for us to live in peace, at least the intelligent civilization we have created is no longer possible to live in peace." Ali paused for a moment, then said, "Of course, you would think that we are the creators, and we can control those intelligent civilizations. Yes, we do, but we don't. Although both human beings and the people of DebarΓ£o were born in the three-dimensional universe, and do not understand the four-dimensional universe that we are familiar with, nor do they have the advanced science and technology we have, we are already beings in the three-dimensional universe, and like them, they are only intelligent beings. Even if we are their creators, we are no different from them except for the more advanced science and technology that comes with it, and the great power that comes with it. If this space is destroyed, we won't end much better. β
"So, for the sake of human civilization, you won't give up war?"
"I'm not the one who chooses war."
Behidron sighed and said, "That is, if the war is not over, you will deal with me for the sake of human civilization?" β
"Beshidron, what do we have in common other than coming from the four-dimensional universe?"
"We are all descendants of Beka."
Ali smiled faintly and said, "If I'm not mistaken, when reducing the dimension, we only retained the individual consciousness, and all other individual information was erased. β
"So, what do you have in common with humans?"
"At least, in appearance and form, I'm just like a human."
Behydron was stunned for a moment, and then burst out laughing.
"What we retain is only individual consciousness, so what we identify with is only values. Obviously, I identify more with human values. β
"Arley, you've changed."
Ali smiled faintly and said, "So many things have happened, not only have I changed, but so have you, and the other family members are the same. β
"So, we can't live in peace anymore?"
"Since you asked me to come here, then you must know the importance of peace in the Dao of the Dao, and there must be a way for the Dao of the Devil to end the war immediately."
Beckydron sighed secretly and said, "Okay, then let's get down to business. How do you have to give in? β
"Concessions?"
"End this war."
Ali shook his head with a smile and said, "Beshidron, you should know that between us, there is only one who can continue to walk. β
"What can you give me?"
"You have two choices, Valentine or Kate."
"Kate?"
"Perhaps, you don't know him, but he's alive and well now, and as long as I can hold out until the day the war ends, he'll have everything."
"You put him under house arrest?"
"It's not a house arrest, because after losing the intelligent civilization he created, his best choice is to be protected by me. It's better to be under my protection than to be threatened. β
"No third option?"
Ali smiled and said, "You said so much, why don't you directly ask for it?" β
Beddron hesitated for a moment and said, "I can make the Debaran people surrender, but you started to say that the intelligent civilization in the three-dimensional universe is the same as ours, so I hope that you can treat the Debaran people equally, at least they should be treated by the Arcadians." β
"If the Debaran people are willing to give up their resistance and accept the transformation and control of humanity, they will be treated the same as the Acadians."
"Keep all the galaxies that are now."
"The people of DebarΓ£o can keep the star systems they have now, but they must unconditionally develop all star systems, and put the most important resources under the supervision of human civilization, which will determine the development and utilization of these resources, and allow the alliance of intelligent civilizations dominated by human civilization to enter and exit freely." Ali paused for a moment, then said, "Of course, the Debaran people will also gain the power to travel to other star systems within the Alliance, and can even use their own efforts to gain the opportunity to settle and live in other star systems. As long as the Debarangs follow the rules, they can enjoy equal treatment with other intelligent civilizations in the Alliance, and they will never be discriminated against. β
Behidron nodded slightly and said, "Obviously, those intelligent civilizations did not take refuge in human beings for no reason. β
"That's all you want?"
"You should know that to me, the people of Debaran are nothing at all." Behydron let out a long breath. "I need to be given full autonomy."
"What autonomy?"
"I must not restrict my freedom."
"Then you won't get anything."
Behidron's brow jumped a few times, and his expression immediately darkened.
"Of course, I can agree to your conditions, but you should know that you have to pay if you want to get it." Ali paused for a moment, then said, "You have to give something, and I need all the science and technology you know. In other words, you have to open your individual consciousness unconditionally. β
"It can't ......"
"Nothing is impossible. If I can keep the other enemies alive, I'll let you go, but you have to prove that you don't pose a threat to me in the future. β
"You ......"
"Of course, you still have a way to go. If you give up some of your autonomy, I will provide you with security so that you can live until the day the war ends. β
"Provided that you can live to which day."
Ali smiled faintly and said, "Obviously, if you don't agree to my condition, among the two of us, I must have a better chance of surviving to that day." What's more, even if I accede to your request and give you autonomy. If I'm done before the war ends, those who wiped out me won't let you go. Obviously, for you, full autonomy simply does not make sense. β
Behidron was silent, and Ali was indeed not wrong.
"Of course, after we have come to an agreement, you will definitely hope that I will be the ultimate victor, rather than hoping that I will die at the hands of some more powerful clansman one day."
Beshidron nodded slightly, which was also true.
"If you really want me to live and become stronger, you should accede to my request and form a symbiotic relationship with me."
"Arley, you're smart."
"It's not called cleverness, it's wisdom. What I said, in fact, all the clansmen understand, and you are no exception, but you are not willing to accept such a result. β
"No one wants to accept such an outcome."
"That's right, it's just that there will always be some people who can recognize the status quo and make choices between their personal wishes and reality. Those who make wise choices have a chance to become survivors. β
"You made a wise choice?"
"Beshidron, before the reduction of dimensionality, I was a very small being. In the family, almost all the clansmen are stronger than me, and you are much stronger than me. Ali smiled and said, "Do you think that I can be where I am today is not the result of a wise choice?" β
Beshidron was silent, Ali was indeed much stronger than before, and her strength definitely came from Becca.
In other words, when facing Becca, Ali must have made a rational choice, so that he was reused by Becca and has his current achievements.
Obviously, Ali's relationship with Becca is very special.
Thinking of this, Beshidron knew that he had no choice. It is obviously much more rational to give up something than to be an enemy of Ali.
"How's it going, have you figured it out?"
"You promise you'll keep your promise?"
Ali smiled and said, "Behidron, after obtaining all the science and techniques you have mastered, do you think that I will gain anything from killing you?" β
Beshidron was stunned for a moment, then laughed as well.
For any creator, the most important thing is science and technology, after losing science and technology, the value of the creator is not even as strong as the wisdom of civilization. Besides, keeping a creator alive is no greater than the cost of killing one.
Beshidron didn't hesitate any longer, and he wasn't qualified to hesitate.
In fact, when he met Ali, he made a choice. At least Arley's first impression wasn't bad, much better than when he first met Barkley.
He had enough reason to believe that Ali would not break his word.
