Chapter 574: Human Nature is Still Human
"Is that so?" Chu Ge was a little disappointed.
"Hey, you're wondering if human civilization and rat civilization can coexist peacefully—such a whimsical question?" The little palace master glanced at him.
Chu Ge touched his cheek and said embarrassedly, "Is it so obvious?" ”
"Yes, isn't that your usual style?"
The little palace master smiled, "When the immortal cultivator appeared, you were pondering the question of whether the immortal cultivator and the earthling could coexist peacefully, you are quite a strange person, it seems that you are born without the prejudices of other earthlings, but you are sincerely willing to become a bridge between the earth and the immortal cultivation world."
"Now, the rat civilization has appeared, and you have been in it for a while - I can't bear to see the human civilization and the rat civilization fighting each other, and want to become a new bridge, think about it carefully, it is also very suitable for your character!"
"I don't dare to be a 'bridge', I just think that the tide of aura recovery is mighty, and Shunchang is reversing, and it is impossible for us to go back no matter what."
Chu Ge pondered, "In the new world of spiritual energy revival, it may not be us humans who will benefit the most, it is very likely that it will be some kind of creature that is still very weak and unknown, and one day, it will establish a new civilization in a way that we can't imagine."
"It may not be the rat civilization I came into contact with, and it may even be the evolution of some kind of bacteria or virus...... Of course, it shouldn't be called 'civilization', it's some kind of super existence anyway!
"That's right, today, with the power of the entire Lingshan City, it is possible to completely wipe out the rat civilization of the Long Fang Kingdom, but the aura has exploded around the world, can we prevent the birth of a new rat civilization under the ground of ten thousand towns on the entire earth?
"Okay, even if we pay a terrible price to wipe out all the rats on the earth and stifle the possibility of mouse evolution, but the small mammals that can absorb the aura of heaven and earth to cultivate are far more than just mice, other mammals, and even other animals with complex nervous systems, will they evolve at a high speed, ignite some kind of fire of wisdom that we can't understand, and establish a new civilization?
"Then, what do we do? Is it possible to rank all the animals in the world according to the size of the brain, starting with the animal with the largest brain capacity, and slaughtering one race after another, until the ecosystem on which we live is completely destroyed?
"So, even though I know that my thoughts are a little soft-hearted and even a woman's kindness, I still can't help but wonder, apart from simple killing, is there any other way for us to live in harmony with these creatures who accidentally entered the temple of wisdom?"
"Yes."
The master of the small palace said, "Your intelligence mentions a dog demon codenamed 'National Teacher', and it seems to be doing well. ”
"The national teacher is treating the symptoms but not the root cause!"
Chu Ge blushed and said, "It's a big lie in the future in exchange for a small profit in front of it—no intelligent life can endure such a deception for a long time!" ”
"Shhhh
The little palace master smiled, "I don't care, but if these words are heard by President Yu, Doctor Jiang, and Director Mu, they will suspect that you are also suffering from 'soul disorder' and will never forget the identity of the mouse." ”
Chu Ge sighed and said, "So, don't you think that human civilization and rat civilization have the possibility of peaceful coexistence?" ”
"It's not, as a cultivator, in the eyes of many extremist earthlings, I am not a 'human', so I don't have any prejudice against the cultivation of beasts."
The little palace master said indifferently, "I don't think that 'there is no possibility of peaceful coexistence between human civilization and rat civilization', I just think that 'there is no possibility of peaceful coexistence within human civilization, between humans and humans'."
"Don't say that our immortal cultivation realm has been a bloody Shura hell since millions of years ago, even if you pride yourself on the 'peace-loving' earth, if you open the history of your civilization, how many years will there be no war at all?
"Don't you think you're too naïve to talk about peace across races even if complete peace within yourself is out of reach?"
Chu Ge was speechless for a while.
He found that the longer the little palace master stayed on Earth, the sharper his teeth became, and the less he was an opponent for her.
"I can understand that you have projected some of your feelings onto an alien like the rat race, even if it is really a bit of 'soft-heartedness, woman's kindness', it is not entirely your problem."
The little palace master said, "When I am idle recently, I like to watch some literary and artistic works on the earth to deeply understand the thoughts of the people on the earth, and I find that the entanglement you face has appeared in many stories.
"For example, there is an ancient folklore in your East called "The Legend of the White Snake", which tells the lingering and heart-wrenching love story between humans and snake demons.
"It stands to reason that people who like demons shouldn't be traitors to humans, but it's strange that as readers and viewers of human beings, they like such 'traitors' very much, but they think that the monk who slays demons and destroys demons is not close to people!
"The same story exists in the West, the other day I watched a movie called "Avatar", which was the box office champion that swept the world before the Age of Calamity, in other words, it should be the film that best meets the imagination of the public and the subconscious needs of human beings, and the choice of the actor in the film is the same as the choice of the white night, all of them betrayed their own race and chose to defect to the camp of a foreign race.
"Human beings, who are naturally averse to betrayal, have put such a movie with a traitor as the protagonist on the throne of the highest-grossing film in history, and the mass psychology here is really interesting.
"When I watched this movie, I already learned the information from the underground world from your mouth, and I also watched these literary and artistic works related to the integration of different races, struggles, and love and killing, and I wanted to know what kind of force drove Bai Ye to give up his pride as a human and choose to become a dirty, small, and savage rat race.
In the end, I thought about whether Bai Ye's choice, your entanglement, and the exploration of literary and artistic works such as "The Legend of the White Snake" and "Avatar" can be simplified into such a question:
"When you are faced with a different race with a human nature, and a human with a human nature that has lost its humanity, which side should you stand on?"
Chu Ge was stunned for a long time.
Still can't find the answer.
"What about you?"
He raised his head and looked at the little palace master expectantly, "If it were you, which side would you stand on?" ”
"Do you know the biggest difference between a smart man and a fool? Smart people never think, and even when they do, they refuse to answer hypothetical questions, you big fool. ”
The little palace master smiled and said, "I can only say that judging from the enduring popularity of "The Legend of the White Snake" and the sweeping world of "Avatar", the vast majority of ordinary people seem to choose 'human nature' instead of 'human'.
"But, then again, Ye Gong is a good dragon is the nature of the public, it's one thing for them to support a beautiful snake or an alien beauty with blue skin in the movie, and it's another thing for them to accept a large group of talking and thinking rats in reality, if you want to become a bridge between human civilization and rat civilization, the difficulty will only be hundreds of times higher than that of becoming a bridge between the earth civilization and the civilization of cultivating immortals, if you are not careful, you will become Zhu Bajie Looking in the mirror, you are not a person inside and out, anyway, if you change it to me, I am you, Never get into such thankless trouble. ”
Chu Ge breathed a long sigh of relief, his tense muscles relaxed, and muttered: "Also, what you said makes sense, I have already overfulfilled the task, and the next thing, naturally, there are a large number of biochemical experts, mass psychologists, animal psychologists and veterinarians, plus the city council and the garrison bosses to deal with it, what do you care about me?" ”
"That's right, compared to those stinky rats, we homeless and poor cultivators need your help even more to be reborn and abandon the darkness and turn to the light!"
The master of the small palace said, "I believe that the Special Investigation Bureau, the Extraordinary Association, the Red Helmets and the Lingshan City Garrison will handle the affairs of the underground world very well, by the way, President Yu is at the scene of dealing with the insect tide, she told me, as soon as you wake up, I will connect with her, do you want to see how they eliminate the insect tide?" ”
