Chapter 479 The Road Ahead for Civilization
"Oh, well, maybe they will have some abnormal conditions. For example, they may forget something, or accidentally see something beyond their cognition in their dreams, leading to a state of enlightenment or something like that."
After being pointed out by Avis, the Speaker showed a slightly helpless look.
"But compared to death, these consequences are still much less severe, aren't they?"
"Yes, after waking up, you forget everything about yourself, or completely lose your mind and go crazy."
Avis shook his head, his tone sarcastic.
"Your 'eloquence' seems to be even worse than I thought, Lord Farr."
"That's because I don't need to convince anyone, Master Zast. Because they can't do anything except express their opinions.
And now, you see, they can’t even express their opinions.”
While casually replying, the Speaker gestured to the many sleeping Ninth Orders.
“And, Mr. Zast, according to your philosophy, there is no absolute fairness in this world, only fairness for the majority and fairness for the minority.
Using these hopeless ordinary people, low- and middle-level professionals, and a few ninth-level professionals in exchange for the hope of the entire human civilization to continue to move forward, isn't this another kind of fairness?"
"The human civilization that Lord Farr mentioned refers to the ninth level limit, which may not even add up to three figures?"
Watching the ceremony proceed with cold eyes, Avis estimated the time it would take for the Speaker's ceremony and the gathering of network power to be completed, his tone indifferent.
"And how can you be sure that, assuming the ceiling wall is really broken, we can have hope of breaking through instead of attracting horrible foreign objects?"
"I can fully answer your two questions."
In the dream world that was becoming increasingly distorted and absurd, the Speaker smiled strangely.
As the ceremony was about to be completed, he was in a very happy mood and wanted to find someone to talk about his experience. At this moment, Avis just fit the role of the audience.
“First of all, the ones who have hope are not just the current ninth-level professionals, but all professionals who break through to the ninth-level from today onwards.
Perhaps ninety-nine percent of people will never be able to break through to the ninth level in their lifetime, but for the few remaining geniuses, the road ahead of them will truly be open, rather than being trapped here like us."
"Yes, compared to the entire human race, their number is still insignificant. But the reason why humans have been able to continue to develop to this day and eventually rule this continent is precisely because of these very few strongest people! If there were no strongest people, and only millions of ordinary people were left, then they would immediately cut off the inheritance of most magic and knowledge, and then quickly die out under the ravages of natural disasters and predators.
On the contrary, a ninth-order person who relied on his own strength and preserved all the information about human existence would only need a few decades to recreate a human kingdom with a total population of over one million. "
Looking at Avis with sharp eyes, the Speaker's tone was extremely serious.
“Like the Ladson ant colony that was submerged by a flood, even if 99 percent of the worker ants died in the flood, as long as the queen ant was still alive, it would be possible to redevelop into a new, even larger ant colony in due course of time.
But if the queen ant dies, even if most of the worker ants are still alive, they will also quickly perish due to the disappearance of the queen ant. "
"So, as the strongest, we are the true core of human civilization—"
As he spoke, as if to emphasize his tone, the Speaker swung his left hand in an arc in the air.
"As for your other question, do you know, Lord Zast? I have been trapped in this realm for more than a thousand years! During this thousand years, I have traveled to all the dangerous places on the continent. Even the forbidden zone of life that is considered a Jedi for the ninth level limit, I have entered it more than once.
But I could see no way forward anywhere. Until, on my last foray into the forbidden zone of life, I encountered it.
“It is not a native species of this world. When I encountered it, it was already seriously injured, with only a wisp of illusory image and steam left.
I signed a symbiotic contract with it, so it survived and shared with me its vast knowledge of the vast sea of stars. "
"The most important thing is that it also pointed out to me the reason why I couldn't make any progress. That is, the rules of this world are not complete compared to the outside world, but rather present a special state of partial vacancy.
As long as this part of the rules is not supplemented, then any existence in this world will never be able to comprehend the complete rules!"
Having said that, the Speaker finally made a final summary of his words with some reluctance.
"So, do you understand, Lord Zast? Even after the Zenith Wall is broken, this world still cannot break through the ninth level. Then I will leave this world directly. Go and pursue, to explore a wider sea of stars! Until I find what I need to break through, or fall in the endless journey!"
As the speaker spoke, strange 'snowflakes' gradually began to fall from the sky.
They condensed out of thin air from the void of the night sky, also with a hint of dark yellow. Although they looked like snow, they did not melt, and had no temperature at all.
At the same time, as the snowflakes fell, the power of the Old Secret Scriptures on the surface of Avis's clone suddenly increased, as if it was under some kind of tremendous pressure.
The many sleeping ninth-order beings below did not have such treatment. Accompanied by the strange music from the distant deep space, snowflakes fell onto their bodies. They were gradually covered by the snow and turned into sleeping ice sculptures.
Snowflakes are falling and everything is silent.
"So, is this why you choose to succumb to the alien presence?"
Frowning at the Speaker in the ritual circle, Avis stared into his eyes through the fluttering snowflakes.
"It's not surrender, it's cooperation. I want to go further, it wants to leave here. So, I reached a cooperation with it, that's all."
Looking into Anvis's blue eyes, the Speaker shook his head, a trace of pity flashing in his eyes.
"Join us, Lord Zast. This will be my last invitation to you. Before the will of the Lord of Dreams truly pays attention to this place, all the conditions I have proposed before will remain valid."
"I'm sorry, Lord Farr. I appreciate your kindness."
At this moment, Avis suddenly sensed something and suddenly laughed.
"Well now, if you don't mind, I want to do something for the world now."
As Avis spoke, a force that the Speaker was very familiar with suddenly descended into Avis' body.
"The power of the construct network?!"
The Speaker was stunned for a moment, looking at Avis whose power was rising steadily, his eyes suddenly became clear.
"So it's you, the prophet 'Mirror'..."
"Yes, that's my other identity."
Adapting to the sudden surge of power in his body, Avis smiled at the Speaker, raised his right hand, and aimed his palm at the ritual array.
The terrifying magic power gathered in front of his palm and compressed into an incomparably dazzling blue-white ball of light, making the flying snow in the sky sparkle.
With the nearly unlimited power supply of the constructed network, this magic ball, which was formed by simply compressing the simplest structure, emitted power fluctuations that clearly exceeded the limit-breaking level.
