Chapter Seventy-Nine: What is Civilization?
It was as if the wanderer who had been away from home for many years had finally seen his elders again, and Yong completely ignored Huo Gu and Twilight's repeated interjections, completely immersed in his own world, and chattered about the suffering he had suffered all these times.
"Tsk, the most troublesome thing has happened, it's really a wave of unsettled."
Through the perpetual narration, Huo Gu and Twilight both roughly understood what had happened.
Huo Gu was not surprised that the gatherer would give birth to 'wisdom', which had been expected to happen during the Immortal period, and what really surprised it was that the gatherer was able to complete the transformation of 'wisdom' from nothing in such a short period of time.
You must know that it took two million years for the terrifying Homo erectus to complete the transformation of 'intelligence' from nothing at this stage of Australopithecus.
Could it be that the time span on the surface has actually passed millions of years?
Huo Gu was taken aback by his own speculation, but then it rejected this idea, because millions of years is enough time to erode and destroy the container that encapsulates it, and it does not think that the quality of the container it has made can support the time span of millions of years, since it is not out of trouble now, the surface should not have experienced a million years as long.
[Huogu, I want to discuss something with you. γ
"What's the matter?"
[How did you come up with this special body that can communicate?] γ
ββ¦β¦ What do you want to do with this, you ask? β
Hogu suddenly became alert, intelligent creatures were not a joke, especially for the two immortals, and to be honest, Hogu had already begun to think about wiping out that gathering population from the planet after getting rid of the container.
At the beginning, if it weren't for dealing with Twilight, an enemy whose body was unknown, it wouldn't have considered creating any intelligent life in the first place, because it was too dangerous, and intelligent beings could derive civilization, but this was enough to make Huo Gu cut off the idea of creating intelligent creatures.
Maybe one day, the intelligent beings of his own creation will suddenly want to verify the question of 'what is the inner structure of the Creator' and dissect Hogu.
Maybe Hogu thinks too badly of the collectors, but science is rigorous, there is no fluke, only the actual information and data will be referenced, and the only intelligent creatures that Hogu knows are human beings, and with human virtue, the probability of doing such a thing is as high as 100%.
Even in theology, Jesus was crucified, how ironic.
Hogudu was already able to imagine that he would probably be nailed to a strange geometric shelf in the future, worshiped and prayed by countless gatherers, and the mere thought of it shuddered.
Maybe there really were gods around humans before, but maybe they were scared away laterβHuo Gu guessed in disbelief.
While Huo Gu was thinking wildly, Twilight replied to the message with a twisted gesture.
[Well, I want to make some of this, too, because it's really ......]
[Cool! γ
[I really want to be able to practice this 'coolness' myself, so please be sure to ......]
"But I refuse."
Before he finished speaking, he was rejected by Huo Gu's categorical attitude.
"Life is not child's play, especially when 'wisdom' is born, they can form 'civilization'."
"Twilight, remember my words - do not despise your creation, or sooner or later, you will pay a terrible price for it, and this price is far from being able to bear it."
Huo Gu's tone was unprecedentedly solemn, which was a side that Yu had never seen since he got along with Huo Gu during this time.
Because of the current state, it is easy to intuitively feel the emotions of the interlocutor, and through the dialogue, Twilight also feels the fear hidden in the solemnity of Huo Gu's words.
It was both curious and frightened, because even in the first place, it had not been able to make Hogu feel such a level of fear.
γβ¦β¦ Okay, I'll leave it at that. γ
Twilight is a little lost, because it really wants to create a special body that can communicate like a gatherer, after hundreds of millions of years, it still has not forgotten its original obsession, although now with the company of Huogu, a friend, it is no longer a lonely person, but obsession and demand are sometimes not necessarily opposites, but may also be a parallel relationship of non-interference.
Hogu felt Twilight's emotions and knew that it had misunderstood, so he replied with an explanation.
"You don't need to be frustrated by this, you are already on this path, and those special beings on the surface made by you will sooner or later give birth to special beings with 'wisdom', it is only a matter of time, and 'gestation' is an event that will inevitably happen."
"But I'm a little worried about you, twilight, your mentality is not right, you are not prepared at all, so sooner or later you will suffer a big loss, the existence of 'civilization' is far above you and me."
In the latter sentence, Hogu emphasizes the terrible nature of 'civilization', which only stimulates Twilight's curiosity even more.
[So, what exactly is the 'civilization' you talked about for a long time?] γ
"It's not that I don't want to explain it, it's that it's hard to explain, and it's only when you come into contact with 'civilization' that you can intuitively understand what I mean by 'civilization'."
'Civilization' is a concept, it can refer to a certain race, a certain creature, or a certain group, but these do not represent it, it has never been accurately defined, and because of this, Huo Gu cannot give an accurate answer.
The conversation between Twilight and Huo Gu is over, however, the one-man show on the side of Sustainability is still not over, and the gushing words give Huo Gu the illusion that he is once again in the school era, listening to the leader on the podium without nutritional tirade.
It's been a long time, far better than the time span of Huo Gu and Twilight's first communication, Huo Gu is okay, but Twilight has begun to doubt life.
"Done?" Hogu asked.
"Uh...... That's it. β
After saying everything I wanted to say at once, I didn't know how to cause a topic and start a communication in the face of the supreme will that I had been longing for.
"Then I would like to explain how you came to know about it."
"I've just talked about this......
The atmosphere between them instantly became very awkward, indeed, Yong Xu's endless talk just now made Huo Gu subconsciously ignore everything, and all of them took a blind attitude.
ignored the words of others, and was exposed by the parties concerned, the embarrassment on Huogu's side is far better than on the perpetual side, but Huogu's rich experience is not a vegetarian, so he naturally suppressed this embarrassment.
"You spoke too fast just now, I didn't hear clearly, can you please say it again?"
ββ¦β¦ Okay, follow your will. β
