"many!"

“A lot!”

"In the beginning, there were only a few Transcendents. But as time went on, more and more individuals and civilizations became stronger. They naturally reached that step and became Transcendents."

"Although the probability of becoming a transcendent is extremely small, time and quantity can completely make up for the so-called probability and make the scarce number abundant. This is not only the basic law of the world, but also the inevitable process of the world from weak to strong, just like a life form that is constantly rising..."

"In addition, among the Transcendents, many of them are from species that have the ability to reproduce. Even after becoming Transcendents, they still retain the relevant functions or even strengthen them. Therefore, their numbers will naturally continue to increase, and there will be no stagnation at all..."

"Faced with the rapid increase in numbers and the rising demand, if we were not Transcendents and had the ability to create various resources and constantly create new territories, we might still have to face resource crises and territory crises..."

That’s all I have to say.

The old man first noticed that the words of the higher-dimensional life form paused slightly.

Then I heard a sigh of deep regret:

"Believe me, a group of powerful life forms that are not only technically strong, but also individually strong, and whose innate physical defects are fully compensated and covered up. Once they encounter resource shortages and insufficient territory, it will definitely be an unimaginable disaster for the entire world..."

A group of guys who are strong enough but don't have enough resources to support themselves, what will they do when faced with a shortage of resources? There is no need to guess...

Burning, killing, looting, attacking cities and seizing land, massacring cities and destroying countries... no matter when, it is the simplest and most direct solution to resource problems, applicable both in ancient and modern times.

This is especially true when one’s own strength is strong enough!

"Once someone with that much strength decides to start a war, the so-called universe, even if it is vast and boundless, could still be completely overturned in an instant..."

"At that time, everything in the universe will be destroyed."

"You know, even among individuals and civilizations whose strength is far from reaching that of a Transcendent, there are quite a few who possess the power and weapons that are enough to destroy the universe, not to mention the Transcendents who are even more powerful..."

Hearing this.

The old man was surprised and had some instinctive doubts:

"…Is it that easy to destroy the universe?"

He was puzzled as to how the universe could exist for so long and still be intact if it could be destroyed so easily.

"Destroying the universe is indeed not difficult. In many cases, it can even be said to be simple. Many interstellar civilizations with slightly stronger strength can do it, because the act of [destruction] itself is a very simple thing..."

When answering the question, the high-dimensional life calmly gave an example:

"Take the various electronic devices that your civilization now has."

"If you want to completely destroy it, most of the time you can easily find a primitive life form that still eats raw meat and drinks blood to do it."

"Whether it's a cell phone or a supercomputer, it's very easy to destroy it."

"Maybe just picking up a rock and hitting it twice, not too hard or too lightly, will do the trick."

"But... if you want to successfully create it from scratch, it will take countless lives and tens of thousands of years of effort to achieve it."

"For a more powerful civilization, the material universe is a sophisticated thing that is countless times more difficult to create than to destroy. If you want to destroy it, it may only take a press of a button..."

"In fact, if there weren't many rules and regulations that have been agreed upon among the Transcendents, clearly stipulating that the safety of the material universe must be taken seriously and supervised, and if there were no Transcendents who really worked hard for this, the material universe you live in would have been destroyed countless years ago."

"Even... even with the Transcendents carefully monitoring the situation, the entire universe still inevitably experienced many extinction crises. On several occasions, the material universe was successfully destroyed. The reason why it still exists is entirely because the Transcendents used time technology to forcibly save it."

“…”

I heard that the security issues that the universe needs to face are so serious, and that the universe has been successfully destroyed many times by some guys, and it was purely relying on the fire brigade to turn the tide.

The old man was so frightened that he was speechless.

I just feel that things are as outrageous as various science fiction stories.

The reason why the world still exists is because of the heroes working silently behind the scenes?

This kind of plot usually appears in various stories...

He just felt that the world he and others depended on for survival was like a luxurious villa built at the mouth of an active volcano.

Although it looks good, if something goes wrong, it will be destroyed in minutes.

Of course, the most important thing is that he has no choice and cannot even run away.

and.

What was even more tragic was that in this big villa, guys of his level were at most tiny bacteria parasitic on it, totally insignificant, not even as important as dust. After all, dust was something visible to the naked eye. In this villa, only individuals and civilizations with strong power had the power to call the shots, and the existence of the villa was indeed determined by their will...

The world could very well be destroyed by some guy.

But I have no choice but to leave it to fate.

The whole thing is so tragic.

Fortunately, the old man only cared about the relevant issues for a moment.

Because he found that in his current state, he probably didn't need to worry about related issues at all.

As an old man, he doesn't have many years left to live...

How should I put it…

It's probably like the world could be destroyed at any time, but you yourself could die at any time...

For a moment, perhaps it was based on the fact that two negatives equaled a positive.

The old man just felt that the matter was very non-issue and there was no need to pay special attention to it.

No one can tell which will come first, his natural death or the destruction of the world.

As for after his death, do future generations need to worry about related issues?

He doesn't think it's important.

You can rest assured.

After all, we have to believe in the wisdom of future generations.

As long as you think that way, there will be no problem.
