Chapter 1002: A Problem That Strength Can't Solve
The zombies looked at each other, all speechless.
Even the screaming sound that echoed between heaven and earth, and in the blood mist, was stunned.
"I've been thinking about this since I came into contact with the intelligence of the primeval civilization."
Chu Ge frowned slightly, and said, "The primeval civilization is so powerful, we can see a large number of gifts from the primeval in the supernatural powers, magic and technology we use today, as long as we understand one or two primeval runes and analyze the mysteries in them, we can make our civilization level be improved by leaps and bounds."
"Moreover, judging from the technological power of the world in the cave and the hole in the cave, the primeval civilization does have the power to lead the modern earth civilization for at least 10,000 years.
"So, you told me that as long as you inherit all the power of the primordial world, you can become the supreme power of the Three Realms, solve all the problems in front of you, and even lead the earth and crush the Immortal Cultivation Realm and the Illusion Realm - I am not completely opposed to this.
"But I really want to know, shouldn't an ancient civilization with such great power be immortal? Why did it disappear again until today, with only a few fragmented ruins, lonely graves?
"Could it be that too much power itself contains fatal side effects, and while solving one problem, it will bring new problems? Or even the owner of power, distorted and transformed into an unrecognizable appearance, transformed into a slave without self-will?
"If that's the case, I have to think about it clearly—even if the power of the primeval seems to be able to solve the urgent needs of modern earth civilization, will it turn modern earth into another primeval earth, causing us to face a catastrophe that is more serious than the immortal cultivation realm and the illusion realm, and we will embark on the same path of destruction as the primeval civilization?"
The zombies were silent.
The flesh and blood blurred faces showed expressions of sadness and shame.
"You are not my dear friends and relatives, you are not Xu Jun, Xu Promise, Xiao Gong Master, Guan Shanzhong, Yun Conghu and President Yu, and this is not the hellish bloody future of Shura, I am completely sober."
Chu Ge looked around at the blood mist, his eyes were unprecedentedly clear, he pointed to his head and said, "Everything—whether it is the so-called 'bright future' with flowers and cheers and statues just now, or the 'blood-colored future' in front of me, which is shattered and burning, it is your spiritual attack, and it is the illusion that you have entered into my brain.
"If I'm not mistaken, the real me should have just plunged into the depths of the cave world, and the bronze door inside the cave within the cave touched the core of the primeval world.
"It's really a magical power, it's only a few minutes or even a few seconds, but it can make me feel like a streamer of light, time is like an arrow, decades have passed in a flash, and even let me go through two completely different decades, and both memories are equally vivid, profound, and vivid.
"If it weren't for the future you created, there would still be some fatal flaws - for example, my dearest relatives and friends are all determined people who see death as their home, and if they really face such a bloody dark future, they will definitely grit their teeth and fight to the end, instead of just reaching out to me and wailing for help, like you.
"If it weren't for that, there's a real chance I'd been tricked by you.
"It seems that I have touched the mysteries of the primeval world, you are all primeval people?
"You are indeed very strong, with such a strong and delicate spiritual power, it should be easy to destroy me, now that I have seen through your conspiracy and refused to step into your trap, are you going to be angry, tear my face, and blast me into powder?
"You can destroy me, burn me to the ground from my brain to my toes, but you can't stop me from thinking or change my mind.
"Strength alone cannot save the civilization of the earth.
"From the first ape-man to hold up sticks and stones and smash them at the head of the beast, until today, the earthlings have developed nuclear weapons that are enough to destroy the earth a hundred times, and the combat effectiveness of the earth's civilization has increased a hundredfold.
"But is our safety factor really a hundredfold higher? Has everyone's happiness increased a hundredfold? Is the justice, law, and morality of our society really improved a hundredfold? Or is it still the same as the monkeys, the law of the jungle, the winner is king, and the loser can only accept slavery or even perish?
"Even, if it weren't for the revival of the aura that triggered the changes in the heavens and the earth, caused the major countries in the world to collapse one after another, and formed a unified alliance to fight against the Calamity Era, it is very likely that a full-scale nuclear war would have broken out long ago, and the earth civilization would have been destroyed long ago - human beings can completely exterminate themselves with nuclear weapons, but primitive people rely on stone axes and bone spears, and it is impossible to completely exterminate each other in any case, so is the expansion of power a good thing or a bad thing?
"Since today's earthlings can't even fully control the power of nuclear weapons, it's like a three-year-old child playing with a big knife, and it is possible to hurt himself in minutes.
"So, who knows what will happen when we rashly accept the gift from the primeval and master a hundred times more powerful than nuclear weapons?
"As the saying goes, 'I am not a saint with a pure and flawless morals', and I have a faint feeling that if I really control the power to suppress the Three Realms, this power will definitely deformify and swell and completely lose control, depriving me of my free will, but making my desires grow infinitely, and finally, turning me into an unrecognizable monster, doing things that are ten thousand times more terrible than the so-called 'bright future'.
"Moreover, I also know my compatriots, the earthlings are also not good men and women who eat fasting and pray Buddha, in some cases, they are a rabble that is extremely susceptible to incitement and deception, they are 50% angels and 50% demons, and they will transform into beasts at any time, no, humans are originally a kind of beasts, but they are always careful to disguise themselves.
"If all the primeval power is rashly introduced into the current earth civilization, coupled with the instigation of people with ulterior motives, the earthlings will definitely get out of control, even if there is no plan to invade the immortal cultivation realm and the illusion realm on a large scale, it is very likely that it will become difficult to ride the tiger, and the authorities have to respond to the public opinion and use the power of the primeval to attack the immortal cultivation world and the illusion demon world.
"It's a pity that since ancient times, simple violence has never been the only factor that determines victory or defeat, even if violence can really win on the battlefield, for ordinary people involved in war, flesh and blood fly on the battlefield, with mutilated limbs in exchange for shining medals, this is still unknown.
"What's more, I don't think that the Immortal Cultivation Realm and the Illusion Demon Realm, as two ancient worlds that have studied mysterious powers for thousands of years, will not have the hole cards at the bottom of the box.
"Once the Earth Expeditionary Force really drives straight in, destroys the withering and decaying, and is about to sweep away their civilization, I believe that the old monsters in the Immortal Cultivation Realm and the Illusion Demon Realm will definitely be annoyed and angry, give up their lives, take out their hole cards, and die with the earthlings.
"At that time, the dream of Huangliang, who has won a complete victory for the earthlings, will really be disillusioned into the Shura Hell of the mountain of corpses and the sea of blood!
"Look, just by thinking about it, I can come up with so many problems that can't be perfectly solved by violence alone, there are too many variables in the future, no one can completely control the future, and no one can control everyone's future by themselves, relying on the identity of gods and demons descended from the sky, and I would never want to play such a role!
"So, if you're really too ancient, and you're really looking for a successor or a puppet—
"Or, destroy me now, and leave no dregs of my soul behind.
"Or, undo these boring tricks of pretending to be ghosts, show your true colors, and tell me the ins and outs, the cause and effect!
"Until I see the truth clearly, I will never be confused and cooperate with you!"
Chu Ge's voice was like a bombshell, exploding like a storm in the Shura Hell.
The zombies lost their souls and looked at him with great awe and confusion.
It seems difficult to understand how Chu Ge could have such a "wonderful" existence in the past and present, hundreds of millions of years, in the face of a force that is enough to suppress the Three Realms, his thinking is still so clear, and his mind is still so calm.
Chu Ge sighed softly.
He is not a saint, and he naturally can't be like water all the time.
But—
In the depths of his soul dwells a devouring beast.
From the devourer's struggles, he saw the end of the Devouring Empire.
