Duan Zexi had been carrying him forward, and he could feel as if he was spinning in circles, and the route was quite complicated, deliberately making it impossible for Li Zhi to remember the route. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info He could still hear the sound of switches, the sound of walls moving, and he had passed through several elevators or similar means of transport, and he seemed to be sitting on a boat, and after a while, he stepped on the ground, soft, as if he was wet.

The device on Li Zhi's head was untied, he could smell the smell of the seawater, feel the whirring sea breeze, and in the blink of an eye, he was on an island. In front is a high forest, behind is the ocean, and the soles of your feet are mud and sand.

"It's ...... here" Li Zhi feels familiar, isn't it......

"The Human Emperor is ruthless, come in." Duan Zexi walked into the forest, where a huge stone pile was piled up, and there was a solid metal door.

The metal door is opened, and there is a long passage inside, and you can enter the passage and take the elevator, which moves all the way down. After getting out of the elevator, Li Zhi saw a huge conference room, in which five old men were sitting, they looked at Li Zhi directly, but not with malice, and at the same time without kindness, as if they were thinking.

Duan Zexi greeted a few old men and left, leaving Li Zhi alone.

After Li Zhi sat down, the old man sitting in the middle spoke: "We are the guardians of history. We know all the history up to the First Age to the present Eighth Age. ”

Li Zhi hesitated and said, "Why ......?"

"Little friend, come with me." The old man stood up and stepped through a door behind him.

The old man asked as he walked, "Do you know the meaning of the existence of the evolutionary space?" ”

Li Zhi thought for a while and said tentatively: "Let the human race become stronger and prepare for the future." ”

"In the future? That's true. Nine years and five months later, the battle of natural selection will begin, and at that time the earth will be forced to join the war, and if there is not enough combat power, everyone will die, the earth will be destroyed, and the future of the human race will be cut off. ”

Li Zhi was surprised: "Nine years? How so? It must have been in the Tenth Age. ”

"Huh? Do you know the era? But you don't know it all. The old man sighed, "Our universe will be completely destroyed after the Tenth Age, and the Tenth Age will be the last battle of natural selection, and we have gambled all our hopes on that time." But that doesn't mean we'll be able to hold out until the 10th Age. ”

"The battle of natural selection is a battle for the hegemony of various races in the universe, and only by winning can we get the hope of survival. The battle of natural selection in each era is a crisis, and the earth will appear as a battlefield on the cosmic stage, if it cannot protect the earth and is destroyed by the enemy......"

The old man sighed and pressed the upward elevator button.

Li Zhi asked, "The previous era of the human race has failed, so how did the earth survive?" ”

"Because of the sacrifice of the Human Emperor, it stands to reason that the losing party in the battle of natural selection will be completely destroyed and unable to escape. However, the Human Emperor controlled the power of time and space, using his own origin to transfer the earth, and replacing the destruction of the earth with the illusory layer. ”

The old man continued, "We have failed again and again, and each time we have left the earth bruised. If we had been able to regroup our strength and open up the evolutionary space immediately after defeat, our Terrans would have won a long time ago. But...... We are the escapees, and the escapees will be conditioned. The rules of heaven and earth limit us, and we can only open the space for evolution ten years before the start of the natural selection war. Ten years, just ten years, how much can ten years be enhanced? ”

"Other races have an epoch to grow, and we only have ten years."

"For the sake of victory, for the sake of the future of the Terrans, we must make a choice, we must make the Terrans stronger, and for this we need our existence."

"Only ruthlessness can save the human race, and only great love can get us through it. Four generations of human emperors have established the human emperor ruthless institution to cultivate human emperors, and they are our future. ”

The old man stretched out his hand and pointed ahead, the elevator door opened, and Li Zhi could see modern buildings one after another, with huge playgrounds, platforms, and many places for exercise.

As far as Li Zhi could see, he could see two children fighting on a platform, looking like they were just elementary school students, but they were fighting deadly. One of them whipped the other with a long whip, and the flesh was taken up and the entrails were pulled out. Although the other man's face changed, he did not say a word, grasping the whip in one hand and sweeping the other man's head with a sword in the other.

The sword slashed into the forehead, and the head was cut off by just a slight. The whip and sword intertwined again, and the more they struck, the harder they struck. It looks like it's about to take the other person's life, but no one stops it, because everyone else is the same, and this kind of fight is going on on every platform around them, injuries are inevitable, and death is a regular occurrence.

But even if they killed someone, the expressions of this group of teenagers still did not change at all, as if they were doing something that was taken for granted.

Li Zhi frowned slightly: "Do they have to be tortured like this since they were young?" ”

The old man nodded: "This is a necessary sacrifice, they are all the hope of the human race." ”

"Of course, the hope of the Terrans. Having imprisoned them since childhood, made them fight, put them through hellish training, they had to be strong in order to live, they had to be hard-hearted. At the same time, they are instilled with the hypocritical and absurd notion that it is all for the future of the Terrans, that everything you do is meaningful, and that you are all heroes. They didn't have a choice at all, you destroyed their beauty, the good memories they should have, the childhood they should have, were destroyed by you and turned into absolutely sane monsters. ”

"Because they don't have access to the outside, they don't know how much they're being exploited, because they don't understand, so they don't resist. It's so ruthless!! You're really ruthless!! For the sake of the so-called future of the human race, standing on the side of the righteousness of the human race, you can naturally bury your conscience, you can become an abuser of course, and turn these living lives into your tools as a matter of course......"

The old man's expression did not change, and he looked at the front calmly and said: "Those who achieve great things are not informal, and they must sacrifice for the sake of the human race, no matter how disdainful you are, we are not wrong." Compassion is meaningless in the face of naked reality, and the so-called conscience is only based on the evolution of human culture, the change of people's mentality, the change of thinking, and the change of conscience with the development of society. To put it bluntly, conscience is empty. ”

"We, the guardians of history, know that the historical process before the human race, the earth before the great unification was chaotic, human beings pursue interests, for resources, for rights, they can slaughter other human races at will, in their eyes this is right, and no one will condemn it, because in their conscience, it is normal for conflicts of interest and struggle for rights."

"It's normal to eat human flesh, it's normal to use women as reproductive tools, it's normal for sons to kill their fathers for power, and it's normal for women to bare their breasts. On the contrary, the younger should grovel to the elderly, otherwise it will be a violation of conscience. Women can't look up at other men, otherwise it's anti-ethical. If a man wants to leave home and go out, he should cut his flesh to repay his parents, otherwise he will be unfilial. ”

"What is conscience and what is morality, from your current point of view, you feel that the previous conscience was wrong, and you feel that the previous morality and ethics were closed and stupid. Do you think that with the development of society, our moral outlook today is the most correct? ”

"From my point of view, I'm right. I can understand what you rebuke and what you loathe, but I know that I will still do it. I don't expect you to understand, after all, you are not a member of the royal blood, and you can't be absolutely rational. Abandoning meaningless things such as feelings, conscience, and positions, thoroughly pursuing reason, and considering all things in the world with a rational attitude is the purpose of the ruthlessness of the emperor of men. ”

Li Zhi breathed a long sigh of relief and said, "Why do you want me to see these things? Want to woo me? I can understand what you're doing, but I'm not going to help you. Or are you going to wipe me out here? ”

The old man was puzzled, "Why did I want to kill you?" Your strength is very strong, and you are the elite of our human race. We have always attracted strong people to come in, our human emperor is ruthless in addition to cultivating the human emperor, but also cultivating other strong people, if you want you can train here, we have quite a lot of books on cultivation, all of which have been left by the strong in the past dynasties, and even the books written by the human emperor can be open to you. ”

Li Zhi asked, "What about the conditions?" ”

"Nope. If I had to say it, it would probably be...... Don't be our enemy. You don't need to work for us, you don't need to listen to us, you just need to be yourself. ”

"I'll think about it."
