"Allow me to interrupt." The empress' voice sounded.
Although the conversation between the monk in black and Lu Shenliang and Wang Li was completely beyond her understanding, she could at least understand that the monk in black still had a long passage to explain.
It's like telling a wonderful story that has just begun.
But precisely because what she wanted to talk about couldn't be finished in a short while, she couldn't help but interrupt at this time.
She nodded at Zheng Puguan, who was not far ahead, and said, "He is still alive. Is this normal?"
At this time, many of the cavalrymen looked ugly. In fact, if she had not been there and she had not issued new orders, these cavalrymen would have taken kerosene and piled firewood to burn Zheng Puguan.
All the organs in Zheng Puguan's body, including his heart, had been pierced. At this time, his remaining body was composed of broken flesh and bones that had been pierced by sharp blades. But even so, there was still life rippling in his flesh and blood. He
The broken flesh and blood in his body was still moving like a living thing, and there was a kind of energy that was vibrating rhythmically instead of his breathing.
"He will die here. This is just part of the story I want to tell. If nothing happens, he will die." The monk in black looked at her.
, said slowly.
His words are still very obscure and difficult to understand. What does it mean that he will die here? He will die if nothing happens. This kind of words does not feel like what a normal person would say on weekdays, but the empress at least understood him.
Part of what he meant was that she didn't need to worry.
She nodded and stopped talking.
"There were not many highly intelligent creatures seen in the old era. Even if they can walk in the galaxy, there is still a lack of statistics on highly intelligent creatures in all time and space." The black-clothed monk looked at Wang Li and Lu Shenliang and continued,
"But I can tell you these statistics now. In fact, in all time and space, in any node of many civilizations in the vast starry sky, life forms like humans are basically an exception."
After a pause, and seeing that Wang Li and Lu Shenliang had no obvious questioning expressions, he continued: "Even in the vast starry sky, other galaxies have similar living conditions, but the ones that were formed at the beginning
The dominant higher intelligent creatures were different, and many subsequent generations of civilizations also started over and over again."
Lu Shenliang waved his hand and said: "We fully understand this and there is no need to elaborate."
The monk in black seemed a little unconvinced, "Is it completely understandable?"
"Completely understand." Lu Shenliang said: "Similar living conditions are not exactly the same living conditions, and the formation of advanced intelligent life like us has many accidental factors, such as the impact of a meteor, a
How could the climate mutation caused by solar storms and the superposition of countless such accidental factors over the past countless years form exactly the same group of people? Therefore, I have always believed that there are only human beings like us in the universe, and there are no human beings nearly the same as us.
.”
The monk in black was also stunned and said: "Although your knowledge comes from your speculation, your speculation is indeed accurate."
"Isn't this just an ordinary speculation model based on probability? The concept of insignificance is close to nothing, not to mention that this model continues to add more accidental factors, which continues to dilute the already very small probability." Lu Shen
Liang said.
The monk in black smiled awkwardly and continued: "Then let me tell you now, although there are higher intelligent life forms in many galaxies, some higher intelligent life forms are born much stronger than humans, and the scientific and technological achievements they have made in some eras are astonishing.
, but in terms of the highest achievements, none of them can surpass our time. In other words, when compared with the highest achievements of the same higher intelligent beings, these higher intelligent beings are actually inferior to us, even though many of their eras are far ahead of us.
.”
After saying this, he looked at Lu Shenliang and Wang Li, especially Lu Shenliang, and said, "Can you understand this? Can you figure it out?"
He felt that Lu Shenliang would not be able to figure it out.
However, what he didn't expect was that Lu Shenliang nodded very simply and said, "What's not understandable about this?"
The monk in black was immediately stunned, "Can you really understand?"
"If being born powerful means being useful, then why didn't dinosaurs rule the world?" Lu Shenliang said: "Do you think the problem can really be solved by a meteor?"
Of course, the monk in black felt that what she said made sense, but he couldn't help but said: "But don't you think that sometimes the strength of the body is not the same as the strength of the brain?
thing?"
"That's not the same thing. If the body is too powerful and destructive, it consumes and occupies too many resources, oppressing the space of other races. If the brain is too powerful, there will be more intrigues, and the internal friction of the race will be greater.
Everyone is extremely smart, who wants to be a born laborer?" Lu Shenliang said with disdain.
Looking at him, he said: "According to what you said before, it is very likely that we humans have just reached such a balance. When we say smart, it does not mean that we are the most intelligent in the universe. When we say we are stupid, we do not mean that we are so stupid that there is no room for progress.
Even if you are physically strong, you are not too strong, but if you are weak, you can still move bricks, and you can live a long life.
Not long, but the life span is not short. During the life cycle, we can often learn and accumulate well, and can complete the inheritance of skills. And according to what you said before, it is obviously because our life span is not long enough.
The awareness of time naturally forms, and the subconscious mind always feels that life is passing by, so
This talent gave birth to something like the Party of Light who wanted to abandon the body and pursue immortality. As for those high intelligent beings who are naturally excellent and almost immortal, they do not have this sense of oppression, so naturally they cannot give birth to such a thing.
I won’t rack my brain to think about things that are timeless and beyond time.”
"...!" The monk in black was shocked.
He looked at Wang Li and Lu Shenliang, as if he was looking at them again, "It seems that I was still wrong. Although the technological level of your old era did not surpass ours, I am afraid that your spiritual level and consciousness education level have not surpassed ours."
, has been close to or even surpassed us, so when I first came into contact with you, it felt like I was taught a lesson by you."
Lu Shen said handsomely: "No need to flatter me."
"Okay." The monk in black did not deny that he was not flattering. He smiled helplessly, and then continued: "It is because of this right balance that we humans have climbed to a level that other intelligent races cannot reach in many eras.
The height of the civilization you call the old era is definitely not once or twice, you should be able to understand this?"
Wang Li and Lu Shenliang naturally nodded simply.
The monk in black said: "In fact, as long as the level of technology is higher, the level of contact will be higher, and at this time, there will be more enemies of all kinds."
This time, before he could ask questions, Wang Li and Lu Shenliang immediately said, "Of course we can understand this."
The black-clothed monk paused, and then continued: "When the technological level reaches the peak of our era, the enemies we have to face are no longer just other advanced intelligent races in the starry sky. Our enemies are not only from the past, but also from the past.
It comes from the future, from any place in any time and space. Because as long as it comes into contact, it will attract enemies."
Wang Li and Lu Shenliang didn't bother to say anything more, they just nodded.
The black-clothed monk's expression became more serious. He looked at Wang Li and Lu Shenliang with deep meaning and said: "But these are not the most terrifying enemies, because when we reach such a technological level, any external enemies will
It is impossible for them to defeat us on our home court. They cannot be more familiar with the laws of our star field than us. The most terrifying enemy comes from within us, from what we have created, and even we ourselves cannot defeat it.
thing."
Wang Li and Lu Shenliang were stunned.
Immediately, Wang Li looked at the monk in black, couldn't help but touched his nose, and said, "Brother, you seem to be talking about me?"
The monk in black smiled.
But he stretched out his finger and tapped Zheng Puguan, who was still alive, and said: "It could be him, or it could be something like the Party of Light.
"
Wang Li also looked at him meaningfully and said, "You have reached this level, and you still think you can't defeat someone like me?"
The monk in black said with emotion: "I said that in fact, there have been many eras of advanced civilization in human history. It is like a cycle that is difficult to break. When the level of science and technology becomes more and more powerful, human beings will become more and more want to
More perfect control of everything will often lead to the birth of things like you in the end. And just like fixed laws and curses, when this happens, it often means the end of this civilization, the destruction of the world, and the end of the world.
Towards the beginning of the next cycle.”
Having said this, he couldn't help but shook his head again, looked at Wang Li, and said: "Existences like you should be managers and servers, but in fact you have become terminators."
Looking at Wang Li and Lu Shenliang who had stopped talking, the monk in black said: "Can you understand this, can you imagine it? It was like this not once, but many times. This is not a coincidence, even in our time,
It cannot be avoided.”
Lu Shenliang thought for a while and said: "This question is a bit complicated, and we can't simply say that we can understand it or not."
"If you ask me to explain, it seems like this to me." The monk in black said: "Even if beings like you are subject to various constraints in the place of creation, even if they have controllable power, even if they are not stronger than anyone else,
But your growth is immeasurable. For example, Zheng Puguan, for example, you were obviously just a cloud processor at the beginning, but it eventually evolved into this, but after countless years, you finally stood in front of me.
, but you want to tell me how to be a human being and how to be considered a good person
It is life. And the most important thing is that since you appeared in our world, you have been living with us day and night. You know everything we know. You are more at home than we are at home. You know our weaknesses... so you can truly threaten and destroy
Ours is not an external enemy, but you who are created by us. What’s ridiculous is that this reincarnation seems to prove that human beings’ efforts to climb the peak of science and technology are ultimately just to create something powerful enough to destroy themselves.”
