Chapter 274: The Price of Choice
"Fina!"
Elena scolded in a low voice.
Among the three people who currently control the overall situation, Fina, because she is really a child, can become a saint of the Grass God Sect, is a saint, and overnight, ordinary people have mastered the highest status that a normal society can give her, and in the eyes of Elena and O'Lelan, the two people who have been crawling along the way, no matter how she is, she is only a child whose mind is not yet mature.

Usually, the two of them don't worry about whether Fina will have any trouble with the newborn Grass God Cult, and the actual management of the Grass God Cult is not currently in her hands, but the problem is that if the Grass God Lord travels, she will be the face of the Grass God Lord in the mortal world.
Every word and deed, every action needs to be well thought out.
"It doesn't matter."
Withdrawing his hand from Lan Feng's shoulder, Bai Ye said casually: "There is nothing that can't be said, it's better to say that if anyone has experienced this kind of thing, they don't feel anything in their hearts, then it is a lie, this is the natural iron law of the universe, it is very cold and cruel." ”
"This is the reality, and there is no way to change it, and it cannot be changed."
She raised her hand and pointed to the starry sky in front of her, and continued: "The universe is indeed beautiful for any individual who has just stepped out of their planet to witness the brilliance of the universe, but they don't know that the more beautiful things are, the deadliest, and the universe is like a trap full of all kinds of beautiful skins, nothing more than the difference of luck between civilizations. ”
"What happened to the White Sage civilization more than three hundred years ago is just a microcosm of the various civilizations in the universe struggling to survive, and this is not a special case for the universe, but it is a civilization that counts countless times every second is experiencing similar encounters."
"In essence, there is no such thing as right or wrong, justice and evil."
Speaking of this, Bai Ye looked at everyone again: "The White Sage Civilization is just very lucky after being unlucky and met us, and the same is true for the Caesar Group and the Blue Ocean Civilization." ”
At this point, the bridge was so quiet that a pin drop could be heard.
For Elena and the others who first entered the universe, these words and everything that everyone has just experienced is undoubtedly a severe impact on their three views, once in their eyes there is a division between justice and evil, but now after stepping into the wider world, they find that many things that were once thought to be wise words are a joke in front of the universe.
On this scale, the boundaries between right and wrong have become ambiguous, and they don't even exist.
"But, Lady Grass God."
Elena thought for a while, but still chose to speak: "The essence of these rules is actually based on the law of the jungle, the strong have made rules for the weak to have to follow, but if there is a strong person who is strong enough to break through this boundary, it should be able to change, right?" ”
"yes, if you don't feel good, then you can punch them all."
Fina's remarks made the people next to her embarrassed, and some people felt nostalgic in the face of these remarks, when she was the same age as the saint, she was so innocent and pure.
"It can be changed, but what about after it's changed?"
Bai Ye didn't bother with Fina, the Lori, and she suddenly felt that today's scene was very much like the words she had talked to when she and the old cat were talking about the dark zone environment.
quickly sorted out the logic in his mind, and sent out the words that he had talked to the old cat in a calm tone: "If you want to change this is essentially a good thing, it is because of the change again and again, intelligent creatures can finally establish a complete social system and develop into a mature civilization, but change is not without a price, on the contrary, the price is very, very high, if you don't have a better alternative to your current situation, Then it is best for you to do nothing because you will only make all those who follow you suffer. ”
"What is more intolerable than inaction is self-righteousness."
These last four words.
For some reason, after hearing this, everyone only felt as if a hammer had struck hard in the depths of their hearts and in the depths of their thoughts.
The weak eat the strong, the fittest survive, the strong give priority, and the weak retreat.
This law of nature has existed in any place long before the birth of human empires, no matter how the development of civilizations, how progress, and how to use various packaging methods to beautify their behavior, this law has never changed in essence, nor has it died.
It's not that it can't be changed, it's that you can't find a new option that is better than it.
"This ......"
O'Lelan clasped his hands in his arms, and his brows furrowed, he looked down at the floor under his feet: "Lord Grass God, can I swear?" ”
"I can't."
Hearing Bai Ye's answer, he shook his head and let out a long sigh: "Then forget it, I don't have anything to say." ”
"Alright, that's the end of the philosophical discussion."
Bai Ye raised his hand and waved, motioning for everyone to put their thoughts back on the topic in front of them: "The problem of the Caesar Group has been solved, we have to consider the follow-up of the White Saint Civilization here, Lan Feng, how do you plan to deal with this matter?" ”
As soon as he asked this, Lan Feng looked confused: "Ah, me? ”
"Even if the Caesar Group will give enough compensation for the things they have done to your civilization in the past, and will send all those who did these things to you to be judged by you, no matter what you do now, the complete demise of your civilization is already an established fact, and no matter how you remedy it later, these things have already happened."
She looked at Lan Feng and continued to ask, "I just want to know now, what are you going to do in the future in this situation?" ”
There is another point that she did not say explicitly.
Lan Feng is the existence selected by the No. 11 structure, and it stands to reason that now that the matter of the White Sage Civilization has been resolved, then the No. 11 structure should also come out, why hasn't there been any movement until now.
Unless......
"I ...... This ......"
In the face of this sudden major problem, Lan Feng became no more overwhelmed for a while than when she first met Bai Ye, all of this was too dreamy for her, and the obsession inherited from more than three hundred years ago was so easily solved today.
And the people who are helping themselves to solve this problem now have to ask themselves what they are going to do in the future.
“……”
After a long time, Lan Feng finally figured out something, and put on a firm face: "After going through this, I have also understood a truth, being weak is to be bullied, just like what I told you at the beginning, I will follow you in public and private!" ”
"I will gather all the survivors of the White Saint Civilization that are still alive so far, and I have decided to choose your forces as our suzerain."
This answer undoubtedly surprised everyone, but Bai Ye looked expected.
She just asked a few rhetorical questions: "Are you sure?" Your personal allegiance is nothing to me, it is your personal freedom and no one has the right to interfere, but you are now deciding the future of a race, and you will bear the responsibility and price that you cannot imagine, choose to override the whole with the selfish thoughts of one person, and place the only remaining fruits of civilization in front of an unknown future, with this decision, and the price that will exist behind it, can you afford it now? Or are you really prepared to take on these responsibilities? ”
"If anything more serious happens in the future because of your decision, then in the eyes of your people, they will not hate me, they will only hate you, because it is a decision you made on their behalf."
"Please think clearly about this decision."
Time.
Everyone could feel that the air in the bridge suddenly became heavy and oppressive, and even if they were not the people who faced the problem, other people could feel the huge psychological pressure that followed.
"Lord Baiye, I understand all these truths, and I am mentally prepared."
Lan Feng nodded with great certainty, and said: "After living in the empire for more than five years, I don't know nothing, on the contrary, I know what I should understand and what I shouldn't understand, the former White Saint civilization was destroyed because of weakness, and I can't change this objective fact, on the contrary, it also lets me know what the best choice is in this situation, I will bear the responsibility, and I will also give all the clansmen I can find a chance, I will give them a choice." ”
