Chapter 68 Religious Civilization

Being able to develop to a ninth-level civilization has its own uniqueness to a greater or lesser extent.

You can be unique, but you can't be evil!

The moment Lu Yu heard the restarter, an illusion of [PTSD is going to be committed] came to his mind.

The rebooters have been sealed for hundreds of millions of years, why are you still chattering?

[The rebooter is the darling of the universe, and the pinnacle that many civilizations can finally reach. 】

[And she listened to the will of the great universe to erase the wrong civilization!] 】

[We are servants who serve her, follow her will and actions, and erase the false civilization in the great universe!] 】

[Now we have erased 3 river-level civilizations and 5224 stellar-level civilizations......]

Almost!

Lu Yu didn't expect that he would see a magic stick in the end.

This god stick is still serving the reboot........

So the ones you made before were all imitations? It's all a tribute?

Lu Yu glanced at the triangular spaceship next to him at this time, after all, the Huan Clan civilization was one of the few unlucky river-level civilizations.

The triangular spacecraft remained motionless, levitating silently.

Well, the deceased was emotionally stable.

Since he dares to tell the truth in front of the victim, this mosaic in front of him is like a villain who feels that he has a chance to win.

And after the story behind it was slightly clear, it made the cosmic sociology experts at Base Zero even more excited.

Religious civilizations, in the existing civilization observation data, are all types that appeared in the early stage of the embryonic civilization.

With the development of civilization, after breaking through the first-level civilization, religion was defeated by science and technology, and due to the rapid emancipation and intellectualization of thinking, basically after the civilization broke through to the stellar civilization, there was no record of religious civilization.

Often, only some declining planetary-level civilizations will have a chance for religion to re-emerge on the stage of civilization when there is a regressive development, but that also means that this civilization will soon disappear in the universe.

Basically....... Civilizations that have steadily stepped out of their home planet will spontaneously de-religious.

Again, this cannot be analyzed from the essence of religion.

First of all, the definition of "nature": what is different from man and what man has created, that is, nature.

Another premise is that there are two kinds of religions, one is polytheism, natural religion (such as the worship of gods in ancient Greece, or the worship of natural objects such as the god of flowers and fire), and the other is a monotheistic spiritual-human religion (such as Christianity). The former worships nature with human characteristics (God is nature), while the latter worships "man" with natural powers (God is human will).

Based on this, religion is based on a sense of trust, with the starting point of man and the object of nature. This sense of trust exists in the animal stage, and when man elevates it to consciousness, he enters religion.

Man is a definite and individual being. Human qualities do not come down from heaven and come from God, but they come naturally from the bottom up. Nature can be understood as the place where we were born and the people who gave birth to us. Man's religious sense of nature is reflected in the nature worship of the mountains and rivers of his country, as well as the reverence for his parents and ancestors.

Individualized things tend to be nobler than impersonal things. Christianity, on the other hand, traces back to its origins and believes that the original cause of all living beings is the Father, which washes away the fact that human beings are individual and special.

This worship of God is nothing more than a phenomenon of self-worship, because only if I identify with my own existence, and praise my existence, will I go on to praise my Creator.

From the totem worship of nature to the cult of the creator in the course of civilization, it is a process of self-affirmation and self-endowment in consciousness.

For example, in some places, people worship the "salt god", believing that it is the salt god who gives the salt a crystal form and a beautiful taste experience. But in fact, the quality of the salt god is the salt itself, but man has "humanized" nature.

The essence of "God" is nature, but people see it as an entity that preceded and created nature. However, if you don't add a man-made character (God's mercy or cruelty) and the establishment of a testimony

In terms of the role of man (God's rule for the four seasons of day and night), is not man a product of nature from the perspective of the creator alone?

So why do people have a religious dependence on nature?

The reason is that man did not separate himself from nature in the first place. Thus the role of nature in man, and the series of emotions aroused by nature in man, are regarded as natural characteristics. When man humanizes nature, he naturally has human emotions and essence. Natural changes, such as the rise and fall of the sun, the changing seasons, and the spring planting and autumn harvest, inspire a sense of dependence and devout worship.

In the development of human society, the element of science and technology has begun to reverse this process.

The evolution of productive forces has given human beings the ability to transform nature, conquer nature, and finally create nature.

This began to destroy the foundations of man and natural religion.

As a result, man has changed from a physical existence to a social existence, a political entity, detached from nature. Then the God of man has also changed from a physical entity to a physical entity that is alien to nature, to law, public opinion, honor and morality.

That is, people's dependence on nature is transferred to dependence on law, public opinion, honor and morality.

This is the most fundamental, direct and sustained emancipation of the mind of the discipline of science to human civilization.

This process continued through the development of most first-level civilizations, and as civilizations possessed the ability to transform the planet and a deeper understanding of the rules of the universe, the foundations of religion ceased to exist.

In the subsequent development of civilization, there may be a cult of personality, but the cult of religion gradually decreases until it disappears in the process of civilization.

And in front of ........ How could they not be surprised that a ninth-level civilization had actually become a religious civilization, and that there had been a regression that was generally believed by cosmic sociology experts.

As for this ninth-level civilization, claiming to be a restarter made Lu Yu even more speechless.

Because the Lord they serve was covered with a 100-million-year-old coffin board by Lu Yu himself.

However, Lu Yu also noticed that there were only a few restarters revealed by the mosaic in common language in front of him.....!

This is where the subtleties come in.

Because Lu Yu knew that there were no less than double-digit rebooters in the Restart Alliance.

So........ Lu Yu couldn't help but laugh.

The Void Worship of an unknown civilization is a bit interesting, I'm afraid that I once ate the warning of the Restarter, and then I was stunned from then on?

What Lu Yu didn't know was that the ninth-level civilization he encountered above the Black Hole Horizon was also a demonic civilization.

"If it's a reboot as an object of worship, it's kind of logical."

"Because in the cognition of the ninth-level civilization, the scientific and technological strength of the rebooter is even weaker than that of the primitive civilization in the face of nature."

"The terrible gap between civilizations has given fear and worship the spiritual soil to sprout."

"Judging from this civilized behavior again, I am afraid that I have also seen the phenomenon of [erasure] once, so there will be later imitations."

"Therefore, we can conclude that a civilization that calls itself a servant of the Reboot has a certain probability of being a religious civilization."

Professor Han summarized the discussions of the sociologists of the universe while he stared intently at the impact of the Silver Star's feedback.

As the current head of Base Zero, he has been involved in far more disciplines than he was a psychology professor at the beginning.

But at this time, if this religious civilization is really analyzed according to the sociological analysis of the universe, then such a situation is very similar to a familiar psychological symptom - Stockholm syndrome.

Stockholm syndrome or the Stockholm effect, also known as Stockholm syndrome or hostage complex or hostage syndrome, refers to a complex in which the victim has feelings for the offender and even helps the offender in turn. This emotion causes the victim to have a favorable impression of the perpetrator, dependence, and even assistance to the perpetrator.

Hostages can create a sense of psychological dependence on the hijacker. Their lives and deaths are in the hands of their hijackers, and they are grateful that the hijackers let them live. They shared their lives with the hijackers

Fortune, regard the future of the hijacker as his own, and regard the safety of the hijacker as his own safety. So, they adopted a "we are against them" attitude, treating the rescuers as enemies.

Such peculiar psychological symptoms really appear in human beings.

But it was indeed the first time that Professor Han had seen similar emotions on an extraterrestrial intelligent life form, so how could he not be curious as a psychology professor.

Lu Yu wanted to collect points, and the scientists wanted to find out what happened to this civilization that could develop to the ninth level, so for a while, everyone decided to see what else could burst out of this mosaic.

[However, our great lord was framed by a civilization named Lu Yu not long ago, and he lost his traces in the great universe. 】

[The long-standing harmonious and orderly cosmic environment has been destroyed by the Lu Yu civilization! ] 】

[Maybe as servants, we are not able to fight against the Lu Yu civilization, but we can try to find the supreme rebooter!] 】

[Unknown civilization, invite you to join this great and sacred cause!] 】

Six.

Lu Yu is very fond of giving this mosaic a funny expression.

Because Lu Yu in his mouth was in front of him, and he was pulling his wool hard.

But after sneering in his heart, his heart sank slightly.

Because Lu Yu understood that if what this mosaic said was true, then this ninth-level civilization would be his enemy.

After all...... If he is really asked to release the rebooters, then it is very likely that the first person to be liquidated will be Lu Yu, who nailed them the last nail.

Moreover, if these rebooters are a little more careful, maybe because Lu Yu is born in a human being, even the human race will be wiped out at that time.

This is something that Lu Yu must not accept!

And hundreds of millions of development time is an excellent time for other civilizations in the universe, but why not for Lu Yu?

He might be able to catch it more easily than many other civilizations!

After all, Lu Yu has an identity that he has to forgetβ€”the Rebooter Volume!

He can ignore the blockade of the restarter, as long as the technology develops to the ninth-level civilization, Lu Yu will be able to take one less detour than other civilizations!

Just be promoted to a cosmic civilization!

Then there will be enough strength to dominate other potential civilizations in the universe and form an alliance of anti-rebooters.

As for whether this war will shatter the universe to pieces, that will be a long, long time later.

All Lu Yu had to think about now was to finish repairing the Silver Star first.

"Then if you want to save the Reboots, why are you still trying to erase civilization?"

In the face of Lu Yu's question, the mosaic quickly gave an answer.

[The elimination of those erroneous civilizations is a cause that the Lord has always insisted on, and we should defend it!] 】

[When I erased the traces left by civilization, I want to tell all civilizations in the universe that the reboot who can control the development of all civilizations is real! 】

[In the future, we will have to increase our efforts and increase the scope of the star field!] 】

[Because we can't let the civilization in the entire universe believe the rumors of the Lu Yu civilization and let the Lord's order be disturbed. 】

It's also logical!

Lu Yu had thought that after he broadcast to the big universe, the starry sky would become lively.

Those ninth-level civilizations that are hiding in the corners and struggling to survive will slowly stand up and try to break through to the cosmic-level civilization.

But in fact, those ninth-level civilizations that would not give up the development of civilization had long since disappeared in the [Erasure].

How could those ninth-level civilizations who were frightened by the reboot and give up their development believe the broadcasts of an unknown civilization so easily?

In addition, with the existence of a civilization like Mosaic, not only will the falsification [erasure] phenomenon spread in the large universe, but it will also make those ninth-level civilizations who are secretly observing cautiously hesitate.

I have to say that after learning the truth, everything that this unknown civilization has done before has been answered.

It's just that this answer is not something that the unfortunate chosen civilization does not want to hear.

"That's why this civilization regenerates the intelligent race that destroyed civilization on this planet."

"For this civilization, it's not destruction, it's bringing them on the right track, into what this civilization thinks they are!"

This is another characteristic of a religious-type civilization.

So Lu Yu thought about it, and he decided to crit this mosaic: "Then you have been doing such a thing before Lu Yu's civilization, so has the rebooter ever said anything?"

Well, no need to guess, definitely not.

From the Black Card Civilization, Lu Yu knew enough information about the Restarter.

These civilizations, who don't know how many epochs have lasted, don't care about a ninth-level civilization at all.

As long as it doesn't try to upgrade to a cosmic-level civilization, then even if this ninth-level civilization rules the big star field in the universe, it will only be a flash in the pan for the rebooters in the end.

They've seen too much over the years, and they won't even take another look.

At most, there are only those who have not experienced many reincarnations, and when they have little knowledge, they will look at them twice.

This knowingly critical attack silenced the unknown civilization hidden in the mosaic.

His Lord does not care about him.

All of his pretenses were at best self-satisfying comfort, trying to convince himself that he could work in this way to gain the attention of the rebooter.

Well, maybe in addition to being a religious-type civilization, he may also be able to call it a dog-licking civilization.
