Chapter 491: Survival of the fittest? Seek profit and avoid harm!
Before Chen Zhixing came to Tianxuan, he thought that this trip might bring him dangers, but he might also encounter opportunities. However, he never expected that in this dilapidated world of Huanyu Realm, the world consciousness actually played the role of a businessman.
Selling items in exchange for resources, and occasionally acting as a slave-hunting team.
Is this something a normal person would think of? No, is this something that would appear in a normal world? Yes! After getting to know the life form, Chen Zhixing was told that there was no shortage of characters like him in the entire star world. After all, no one wanted to fight with a stranger for no reason as soon as they met. So once they found that the other party could communicate, they would generally prefer to trade for the resources needed by both parties, rather than completely killing and plundering.
After all, why should we fight for life and death when we can achieve win-win cooperation?
In the boundless starry sky, it's not just you and him.
The Dark Forest and the like are just politically correct jokes told to stupid people. The real golden truth has already been told to the whole world by a great man.
Making more friends and fewer enemies is the true path to the top!
"So, when you first appeared in the Huanyu Realm, the Watchers were very surprised. We couldn't understand where your malice towards Huanyu came from. However, after several contacts, we found that you were from the Tianxuan Realm and were creatures that could communicate normally. That's when we met this time."
Under an exquisite ginkgo tree, the life form and Chen Zhixing sat opposite each other and talked, and there was even a pot of tea brewed in front of them.
"In fact, Huanyu Realm has conducted similar transactions with Tianxuan Realm several times. Both sides gained a lot in the previous transactions. However, there has never been a life form of your level visiting Huanyu with its children. At that time, you did not pay much attention to the kingdoms left by the ancient gods."
"Is that so? This shouldn't be the case, Huanyu Tiandao. You should know that the power of rules contained in those floating lands above your heads can instantly improve the cultivation of cultivators in our Tianxuan Realm. Haven't the visitors from Tianxuan Realm discovered this before?"
"Well, maybe you can call me Soth, um, Soth, the name I defined for myself." It seemed that being always called Tiandao by the two of them made the life form feel a little distressed. After saying his own name, Soth said, "Mr. Chen, you are not right. In fact, although those ancient gods' kingdoms contain the power of laws, these laws belong to the Universal World. I don't know why you have such a strange idea that the cultivators of your Tianxuan World can absorb these laws to improve your cultivation. But Mr. Chen, even if I let all these kingdoms of the gods be released for you to absorb, what is the meaning to you?"
"What do you mean?" Bai Yu, who was drinking tea at the side, suddenly frowned. She realized that something seemed wrong.
"This is the Universal World. The rules created by the Universal World are naturally only applicable to the Universal World. Unless you are willing to stay, I personally feel that this upgrade is meaningless to you." As he spoke, Soth spread his hands to the two of them, indicating that he had been very frank.
"Huh?" Bai Yu's eyes widened when she heard that. She then turned her head to look at Chen Zhixing who was silent on the side and frowned her beautiful eyebrows: "Do you know this too?"
"I just found out about it too." Chen Zhixing picked up the teacup in front of him and took a sip with an expressionless face.
But Bai Yu obviously didn't believe what he said!
"Since you know this, why did you come to the Universal World and create such an interface for me to lead others here?"
"Don't talk nonsense. I didn't ask you to help lead people. I just said that if you, the Yuhuaxian, have plans to explore the universe, then we can act together and become allies and help each other in the universe."
"You're lying, you're lying."
Bai Yu was about to say no to Chen Zhixing, but she remembered that it was Chi Jiu, not Chen Zhixing in front of him, who said that the Huanyu Realm had divine power that could be absorbed to improve cultivation! And what Chi Jiu said was not wrong. The Huanyu Realm did have the ancient god kingdom that could be used to absorb to improve cultivation. It was just that she did not say that the improvement brought by the power of rules here could not be applied in the Tianxuan Realm. And if you think about it carefully, this may cause the cultivators in the Tianxuan Realm to have the same rules but different rules, which will eventually lead to conflicts and chaos in the rules, resulting in the consequences of the Dao fruit being broken or even deformed! This consequence is here!
Under the conflicting rules, if you force absorption, chaos is inevitable! "Well, Ms. Bai, although I don't know what you are talking about, I still want to remind you that you are not the first batch of Tianxuan Realm cultivators to arrive in the Huanyu Realm. In fact, the Yuhua Immortal Master you came from has come to the Huanyu Realm to explore no less than three times. I think the general situation in the Huanyu Realm should be known to your sect."
As if he noticed that the atmosphere was a bit awkward, Soth reminded again.
He didn't seem to want Bai Yu and Chen Zhixing to have a conflict.
"I know, I know, thank you for your reminder, Mr. Suona!" Bai Yu replied to Soth in the gap between talking to Chen Zhixing, and then turned around and continued to bombard Chen Zhixing wildly: "Chen Zhixing, you must have known it before, why didn't you remind me, do you have any plans for me, or are you plotting against my Yuhua Xianzong."
Soth: “.”
Taking a few steps back, Soth looked at Chen Zhixing with some sympathy.
His sympathy earned Chen Zhixing a helpless smile.
It's like this, sometimes a woman knows everything, but she just wants to find an excuse to quarrel with you, what can you do with her? Otherwise, what should you do? Let her admit to you that she is stupid and foolish, and that others can see and have their own calculations, but she is the only one who was really deceived?
No! Rather than admitting this, it is better to say that everyone was deceived by Chen Zhixing, deceived by this despicable, shameless, and vulgar scum! As for such a quarrel, what will outsiders think? Usually when quarreling like this, there are no outsiders around. After all, she is embarrassed to let others know that she is unreasonable.
Why could Bai Yu do this in front of Sos? Because Bai Yu didn't regard Sos as a 'human'! "Well, Mr. Chen, I have to say that I really sympathize with you just now. At the same time, I can't understand why your life form has evolved to the current level, but you can still endure such a life."
"Because I need to maintain my humanity, Soth. We monks are different from you who are born holy. Our life structure cannot accept long baptism at the beginning. This structure is both material and spiritual. We can use the method of practice to evolve our material existence to a higher level, but we cannot change our spirit. Under such circumstances, if we do not maintain our mental state in this way, it will not be long before we die of mental breakdown."
"So, what you did before was actually to maintain your humanity? Well, Mr. Chen, I think this method should be considered a kind of spiritual practice for you, right?"
"Not really. To be precise, this is just to keep our mental state from getting worse. It can't be considered a form of spiritual practice."
"Oh? Is that so? If that's the case, then why don't you create a spiritual practice method? Oh, no, I remember that more than 10,000 years ago, among the visitors from the Tianxuan Realm, there was a cultivator from the Tianxuan Realm who practiced spiritual methods. Hmm, could it be that this method has been lost now? If so, I think I can provide you with some backup theories."
"It has not been lost, we just choose to do it differently. The method of cultivation has always existed, but we are unwilling to change it."
"Why?"
"It's the same answer as before, Soth. We are not holy, and we don't want to become holy. For cultivators like Bai Yu and I, the purpose of cultivation is only to gain holy power, not to make ourselves holy. Because a life like yours is a very boring thing for us."
"Just because you don't want to be boring, you can face death? Mr. Chen, your idea is weird."
"Sos, it's not me who is weird, but our worldviews are different. So when we collide with each other, many things that seem weird to each other will occur. Just like us cultivators in the Tianxuan Realm are also very curious about why you have spent tens of thousands of years just to repair a damaged world."
"No, no, no, Chen, this is different. The universe is where I was born, and my mission is to repair my world. This is a very noble responsibility, and it is also an honor that every life form in the universe should be proud of. Moreover, in order to survive, we must also repair the universe. After all, this is our home. What life would not like their home to become better and better?"
“Haha, there are a lot.”
"What?"
"That's not the point. Let's continue with the topic. Soth, what you said before is that you are the essence of the Holy God. The reason you were born is to repair the universe, so the meaning of life lies here. But for other life forms in the universe, if they have a choice, do you think they are willing to continue to accompany you to repair the damaged universe, or hope to go to other intact worlds, skip the repair process, and enjoy life directly?"
"It must be the latter. That's why I created the Watcher Organization. While repairing the world, I am also preventing the situation you mentioned from happening."
"Why would they be different from your choices?"
"Because." Soth thought for a moment, then said calmly: "This is what you call human nature. You can actually abandon eternal life for such a boring thing. Mr. Chen, I have to say that human nature is really boring to me."
"The only thing that you find interesting is repairing the universe. Of course, anything that can make the universe better will be interesting to you."
"That's right." Soth nodded with a smile. There was nothing wrong with admitting it, because the reason why he chose to appear in front of Chen Zhixing and Bai Yu was because he found that making a deal with them would help repair the universe.
"This is the difference between us. The reason we still maintain our humanity is that we don't want to become like you now."
"I understand." Soth nodded.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Understanding does not mean that He can accept it, nor does it mean that He will change.
Understanding is just a way of saying He knows the rules.
The sacred and clay and wooden sculptures are never the same word. They can also think and learn, and have their own way of doing things. They are not stupid.
It's just becoming sacred, which for the monks is no different from becoming a clay or wooden sculpture in a temple, so it is called this jokingly.
"Compared to this, Mr. Chen, please forgive me for bringing it up again, because I am really interested in what you said about the kind of people who 'don't like their family to get better and better'. Can you tell me about it? You know, I need to be wary of such people appearing in Huanyu."
"Of course." Chen Zhixing smiled. "Actually, what I said is not objective. These people actually also hope that their homes will become better and better. It's just that when this 'betterment' will weaken their power, they will prevent this change from happening when faced with a choice."
"I don't understand."
"Then put it another way. If there is a chance to make the envisioned universe appear immediately, but the price is your immediate death, would you accept it?"
"Of course I'll accept it."
"But they won't."
".Because, human nature?"
"Yes, because of human nature." Chen Zhixing nodded gently: "Selfishness is also an expression of human nature. Of course, the method I described is very extreme. In fact, the situation they are facing should be that if you can lower your cultivation level by one level, the universe will be able to be fully restored."
"They still won't agree."
"Yes."
"The life forms you are talking about should be completely destroyed. They should not exist. At least that's the case for me."
"I'm sorry, but in fact, except for life forms like you that were born due to a certain rule, when all life forms in this world face this rule, 99% of them will do the same thing as them."
“.”
Soth was silent.
It’s not that He couldn’t understand, but after He understood and actually did precise calculations, the result He got was exactly what Chen Zhixing said.
This answer was hard for Him to accept.
To be precise, at the beginning of the calculation, the answer he obtained was very optimistic.
He counted the history and found that out of the original one hundred people, ninety chose to sacrifice, and then they became second-rate.
Afterwards, another one hundred people were selected, and eighty of them chose to sacrifice.
After several or even dozens of such screenings.
Genes that are willing to make such sacrifices have basically disappeared from the universe, and those who survive and are able to live well are all "selfish" people.
This seems to be an inevitable choice.
It was because Soth discovered this that he became silent.
The reason for his silence was not because he was hit, but because he found that if the situation was really as he calculated, then this result would be detrimental to the development of the universe. He was thinking about whether he should reshape the laws of the universe to prevent this from happening. (End of this chapter)
