Chapter 713: Definition of a New Humanity
The soul of the national teacher suddenly turned from a trickle into a stormy wave, completely entwining, wrapping, and devouring Chu Ge's soul.
The memories of the national teacher, the emotions of the national teacher, and the ideas of the national teacher were all frantically poured into the depths of Chu Ge's soul, in a vain attempt to completely cover and tamper with Chu Ge's soul.
If Chu Ge is affected by this, he replaces his own memory with the memory of the national teacher, replaces his own emotions with the emotions of the national teacher, and thinks about problems with the logic and three views of the national teacher.
At that time, Chu Ge's soul will be gone, and what remains is only the national teacher!
Faced with the furious soul devouring, Chu Ge fell into the whirlpool of thought turbulence, and his soul seemed to be groping in a maze full of dense fog.
Where is the line between humans and non-humans?
Can some kind of "non-human" creature become a human through its own efforts?
What is the most precise and eternal definition of "human beings", and is there even such a definition?
Chu Ge was confused.
Perhaps, there was in the past.
For thousands of years, the boundaries between humans and animals have been visible to the naked eye, clear and insurmountable.
Even if there were victors who were on high, the losers who were humiliated, enslaved, and killed were called ants, orangutans, and two-legged sheep, and they resolutely refused to admit that the losers were their kind.
But regardless of skin color, body type, or level of civilization, there is no reproductive isolation between human beings, and after a long period of education, they can master the most basic language and communication skills, and in this regard, there is a world of difference between even the stupidest natives in the rainforest and the smartest orangutans.
But what about today?
In the revival of aura, the discovery of the other world, the great progress of technology, and the coming of the big explosion of science and technology?
The revival of Reiki means that countless animals, not only relatively advanced mammals, but also lower creatures such as snakes, insects, rats, ants, etc., have the potential to awaken a certain sense of intelligence, learn human language and writing, and even think and communicate like humans.
The discovery of the otherworld means the existence of countless otherworldly beings with brains more developed than earthlings and higher intelligence.
If the primordial infant powerhouses of the Immortal Cultivation Realm, the old monsters of the gods, and the gods and demons of the Illusion Demon Realm, they claim to be human beings, but they treat the earthlings as orangutans, can the earthlings be justified and defend and fight for their identity?
The big explosion of science and technology means that the way human beings survive and reproduce will undergo earth-shaking changes - the simplest example, using the soul transfer cabin and various spiritual cultivation secret methods, can produce soul shifters in batches, although the current soul shifters are not able to leave the body for a long time, but with the continuous progress of technology, the soul transfer time is getting longer and longer, and it is always an irreversible trend.
If one day, the soul shifter can completely break away from the main body, replace between different "soul beasts" as they wish, and spend their lives in a variety of strange ways.
Is such a soul shifter still a "human" in the classic definition?
What if, instead of a soul beast, the Soul Shifter chooses some kind of supercomputer-controlled mechanical body?
It's as if Chu Ge can also temporarily go out of his body and pour his soul into the control chips of drones and crawler robots, if this ability continues to improve, and the control chips of drones and robots are also constantly upgraded, becoming more and more complex, with supercomputer-like terrifying computing power, it is enough to make Chu Ge stay in the mechanical body for a long time.
At that time, Chu Ge was still 100% human?
In a sense, the national teacher is right.
The definition of human beings is indeed becoming more and more blurred in this era of rapid progress, rapid change and magnificent waves.
In other words, hundreds of thousands of years ago, groups of panicked and shivering monkeys, in the face of the drastic change of the climate, had to escape from the withered, dry, burning forest, in the face of jackals, tigers and leopards on the prairie, in desperation lifted broken stones, sharp broken bones and burning branches, struggled to survive, and finally sharpened the original word "human" in the collision of stones and bones.
Now, in the face of a new era, the word "human" has been given a new definition, to the point where it has to be rewritten.
Emotionally, it was difficult for Chu Ge to accept this earth-shaking rewrite.
It is difficult to accept that in the near future, snakes, insects, rats and ants will have intelligence; Guys whose souls are uploaded to the Internet or downloaded to mechanical shells; Coming from another world, cultivating to the point that there is no need for a physical body, but an extraterrestrial flying immortal that exists in a way of interlaced light and shadow...... These strange shapes, incredible things, are all considered "human".
But intellectually, he knew that his emotions were meaningless.
Just like a certain monkey hundreds of thousands of years ago, it is difficult to accept that his own kind fights not with minions, but with stones and torches.
Perhaps the monkey will feel extremely disgusted and frustrated by the fact that the appearance of his fellow creatures losing their hair and revealing their bare bodies, straightening their waists, and freeing their hands is extremely ugly, and it is simply a deformity of betrayal of the race.
In the face of the torrent of the times, its disgust, frustration and "non-acceptance" are equally meaningless.
So......
Chu Ge seemed to agree with the national teacher's point of view.
His soul was withering in pieces.
So......
The emotions and memories of the national teacher drove straight in, like a cloud of black slime and gelatin, completely covering Chu Ge's emotions and memories.
So......
The national teacher sneered, and his soul wriggled like an exposed digestive organ, dismembering Chu Ge's soul and reaching the deepest secret.
Therefore, even if part of the national teacher's views are correct, in the great era of Reiki revival, the definition of human beings will be rewritten, and all living beings have the right to fight for their own wisdom and free will, will Chu Ge have to give up resistance and obediently offer his soul with both hands?
Chu Ge thought quietly.
Relying on the help of the national teacher, he stripped away the impurities attached to the soul, saw the truest self clearly, and thought about the essence of human beings and his true self in this crystal clear and thoughtless state.
"This, what is this!"
The national teacher, who drove all the way in, was like a bamboo, devastating the withering and decaying, and was about to completely devour Chu Ge's soul in one go, suddenly let out a heart-rending scream.
The golden light from the depths of Chu Ge's soul was like a supernova explosion, instantly increasing tenfold, blinding the eyes of the national teacher.
The national teacher screamed, squirmed, and struggled, but he couldn't stop the golden light from getting stronger and stronger, and gradually condensed into a clear figure, a majestic one, with teeth and claws, like a god-like octopus.
"It can't be!"
The national teacher looked at the devouring beast in the depths of Chu Ge's soul, dumbfounded, shocked to the extreme, "Why, in the depths of your soul, there is such a terrible thing lurking in the depths of your soul, it, what is it, ah, my power, my soul power!" ”
From the moment he infiltrated into the depths of Chu Ge's brain and had a soul confrontation with him, the national teacher had been very calm, and he did not leave any flaws in Chu Ge's abilities.
But in the face of the Devouring Beast, it was so shocked that it couldn't help itself after all, so it could only watch as the power of its soul was continuously absorbed, absorbed, and devoured by the Devouring Beast.
There's no way, when it comes to "devouring", this dog demon who basically relies on self-taught talent really can't be the opponent of the mysterious devouring beast from outer space.
Between the Devouring Beast and the National Teacher, dozens of soul bridges have even been formed, of course, unilaterally from the National Teacher, constantly drawing power.
"There's no way, I can't hide it now."
Chu Ge's soul straddled the head of the Devouring Beast, sighed, and said quietly, "Actually, I am not an earthling, but a space invader from the depths of the galaxy, who came to invade the earth on a special trip, so you want to devour my soul to become an earthling, it is really ...... I've found the wrong person. ”
The national teacher was dumbfounded, and became more and more shocked beyond words: "What, what! ”
The strong shock brought strong emotional fluctuations, and for a while, the transfer of power between the souls of the two sides was presented in a visible posture, which was like hundreds of golden water pipes, continuously "pumping" from the soul of the national teacher, and then transported to Chu Ge's soul!
The situation reversed, and the national teacher felt that Chu Ge's soul seemed to have turned into an unfathomable whirlpool, about to suck it dry, and no matter how it struggled, it couldn't break free, but fell deeper and deeper, and was about to fall into the catastrophe of annihilation.
Until this moment, the national teacher knew that Chu Ge seemed to have no resistance at all just now, but in fact, he was too lazy to resist, and he lured the enemy deep with the river.
It's a pity that it's too late to regret it!
"Don't be nervous, lie to you, just a little joke."
Chu Ge suddenly changed his words and said, "Of course I am a fake earthling, but deep in my soul, there is indeed a parasitic ...... Belch...... A little thing from the depths of the universe. ”
Speaking of this, the "little thing" in his mouth, the octopus's head suddenly cracked one hundred and eighty degrees, revealing a bloody mouth, and Chong Guoshi's soul smiled quite kindly.
