The sun is shining brightly.
Under the dry and cold wind, the sun shining directly from the top of the head without any shelter dispelled the chill.
Under a clear sky, on the small peak of the Constant Mountains, Lin An silently raised his head and stared directly at the dazzling sun.
"What is difficulty?"
"What does it mean to weigh the pros and cons and protect yourself?"
"What's right? What's wrong?"
Stayed up all night.
After questioning himself again and again, Lin An vaguely got the real answer that transcended reason and human nature.
If you want to survive in the apocalypse, if you want to win a glimmer of hope in the increasingly difficult catastrophes,
So, what to rely on?
By strength?
Can you survive by relying on absolute reason, relying on wisdom, relying on cold-blooded ruthlessness, relying on pursuing the optimal solution in everything, and relying on making the right choices?!
No!
The answer is no.
Is the King of Alien Species not sane enough?
In order to achieve his goal, he will do whatever it takes.
Lin An also believed that a leader of a civilization who could reach the pinnacle of the fourth level and still try his best to break through the fifth level, and who was even willing to sacrifice half of his civilization to cross endless light years, the King of Alien Species was definitely qualified.
But he died, failed, and lost in a ridiculous way.
Are Tianmu people not smart enough? Don’t they have wisdom?
No.
A Tianmu person who is physically fragile but relies on psychic technology to make a comeback is definitely not a fool!
Didn’t they learn their lesson? Didn’t they make the “right” choice?
No.
They made it, and they made the most correct choice at the current stage of their civilization.
They have killed and injured too many people. In the internal wars before the end, they have raised their individual meaning to a common level.
After the doomsday, they unite as one, hoping to end this disaster with minimal losses.
But they still lost, and they lost because of a mistake that was so small that it was even ironic.
But Lin An knew that even the Tianmu people knew that that mistake was bound to happen.
Why?
Lin An slowly closed his eyes and stared directly into the scorching sun for a long time. His eyes stung, and even after closing, the black sun would remain in his eyes.
Is it because you are not sensible enough?
Is it because they didn’t realize the crisis?
No.
If these two civilizations are not excellent, their perfect ones also appeared too late and did not play their due role!
What about the other fifth-level escapers!? Or even sixth-level! Seventh-level!
Lin An can imagine how outstanding those powerful beings above the fifth level must be! How amazing and talented they must be!!
But they all seemed to fail at a certain stage.
Lin An also believes that among the Tianmu people, there must be someone who realizes that they cannot be "arrogant", and someone must have thought of the potential crisis!
Similarly, based on his understanding of the power of faith during this period, he also roughly guessed what the Alien King had done!
The King of Alien Species must have also realized how the power of faith came about!
He must also realize that concentrating internal resources will lead to civilization being in trouble!
So he chose to "create" a place of deadly battle, and kept killing high-level alien species with reasonable excuses! And the overflowing energy will return again!
As for why the alien emperor didn't choose to gather the power of faith, or he couldn't choose.
Lin An could only guess that it might be related to the alien body.
"In fact, they all made correct judgments, and they were based on their own cognition."
With a pale face and intense thinking, Lin An whispered to himself.
"But the so-called transcendence, almost divine reason and wisdom, is completely meaningless in the face of the end."
"The so-called weighing of interests and harms, the so-called optimal solution does not exist at all!"
"The answer that the insect came up with is meaningless!"
"Why haven't the Tianmu people solved the hidden danger!? Because they think it may not be important, and maybe it can be solved later! They think the cost of solving it is too high! It's not cost-effective!"
Taking a deep breath, Lin An thought of the Third Eye Council, the regretful, humble old man who could only ask him for help.
He could imagine that on the eve of the Tianmu people's complete defeat, someone must have wanted to raise these issues, but the person or group of people who raised them ended up being "scared". They weighed the pros and cons and thought that the tribe should no longer take risks.
That is the optimal solution.
Are there no wise men among native humans? Don’t they know the consequences of class solidification and killing their own perfect ones?
No, the choice they made was the most correct one at the time.
They just take luck and think that they can deal with these problems in the future and it will be better!
Not only that, Lin An didn't believe in the alien emperor and didn't want to gather the power of faith, but why didn't he do that?
If nothing else, if you want the alien species to gather faith, you essentially need to reshape the entire race! Because the alien species has been the "end of the world" for native humans from the beginning of its birth! The target of their hatred is likely to be the alien emperor himself!
Therefore, the King of Alien Species gave up this path. He believed that the price was too high and he would rather spend decades slowly gathering power.
"So, the so-called optimal solution is nothing but self-deception. When individuals and civilizations reach a certain level, any judgment they make will essentially consider their own gains and losses."
"The stronger you are, the more you are afraid of. Just like people who have more wealth are the ones who are most afraid of losing it."
"Under this kind of interference, the choices made will become increasingly wrong."
"And the so-called wise men and wisdom are essentially just judgments based on the summary of information."
"But in the face of the vast universe and the disaster that wipes out countless civilizations, what is the essential difference between the information and wisdom we possess and that of insects?"
"Because I'm afraid of losing, I shrink back."
"Because I weighed the pros and cons self-righteously and thought it would be better to solve it later, I gave up."
"Put your hope in tomorrow and regard your self-fantasy as wisdom"
"Put retreat and comfort in the future!"
"How ridiculous."
Lin An laughed at himself in a low voice, maybe what he did during this period was not that wrong.
only
But he suddenly knew what the thing he threw was.
He lacked the courage to fight, and he lost the belief that he must control his own destiny!
He is so strong that he thinks that as long as he regains his strength, he can solve everything. He does not dare to die. For the theoretical optimal solution, he should go against what he has always done.
"Not to mention the past me, whether I could watch these things happen, but just want to hide them and do nothing."
"Even if I have just awakened my power, I will not be as "cowardly" as I am now."
"Can I really hide? I'm afraid of being chased by fugitives, and I'm afraid of alien species."
"The funny thing is, I almost died at the hands of a level 0 person."
"It seems like a month is a lot of time, but maybe I will be killed by the lowest level thugs tomorrow. Maybe it's just because it's convenient."
"I obviously still have "power" in my hand, and I know how to quickly create "awakened ones" to protect me. But after weighing the pros and cons, I think it's better to hide."
