As he listened to the Demonic Abyss Eye speak, Meng Chao had a really strange feeling.
He was not averse to talking about life, ideals, and views with others.
For example, he could talk to Lu Siya through the night about the conflict of ideals between the Colonization Party and Home Party, discuss whether the blood of the strong should flow for the weak, and try to get Lu Siya to serve the people together with him.
With this kind of person, he could chat for three days and three nights without getting tired.
However, he had never tried to discuss philosophy with a huge eyeball that had a young girl's voice and was covered in tentacles.
Speaking of which, when he thought about it carefully, the Demonic Abyss Eye's question was also Meng Chao's question.
Who am I?
I am an Earthling.
But what were Earthlings?
If Earthlings were a race that came from Earth and could completely control their own fate, then how were they supposed to explain the dimensional tunnel between Earth and the Other World, the genetic similarities between humans and monsters, the adaptability of humans to spirit energy, and everything else?
Where did the Earthlings come from?
Who are we? What is our destiny and future?
Who created us and opened the tunnel between Earth and the Other World?
If there is such a "creator," did he summon us here?
What was his goal?
Meng Chao sank into deep thought.
His mind was taken away by these questions.
The Demonic Abyss Eye in front of him was no longer as monstrous and ugly. In fact, it looked a little delicate and pretty. It was becoming more in line with the impression of its voice.
"Wait!"
Meng Chao's heart froze. 'Just what am I thinking? Why do I think that the Demonic Abyss Eye is pretty? Damn it, if I continue falling for it, will I really end up thinking that it's an innocent girl?'
Meng Chao's mind raced. He connected the information he had read about the Demonic Abyss Eye on the monster forum in his previous life, and he knew that he had fallen into its trap.
It was no wonder why the Demonic Abyss Eye had asked the same question as him.
Because this was the question buried deep in his heart.
The Demonic Abyss Eye had activated its mind control skill and magnified the puzzlement in Meng Chao's heart, causing him to unknowingly let down his guard.
If Meng Chao had not returned to the past …
Unable to predict the Demonic Abyss Eye's skills.
Meng Chao was worried that he would be completely bewildered by his own questions and wonder why this monster's thoughts were the same as his. Then, he would subconsciously be attracted to the Demonic Abyss Eye.
Naturally, he wouldn't fall for it so easily.
However, he did not intend to immediately expose the Demonic Abyss Eye's scheme.
After all, he was the one who needed to stall for time.
Therefore, he tried his best to control part of his thoughts and buried them deep in the deepest part of his brain.
But he pretended to follow Meng Chao's train of thought and snorted coldly. "Over the past half a century, the monsters have killed countless humans. Tonight, thousands of innocent people died tragically under your claws, and now, you're talking about working together? Do you think I'm a three-year-old who's easy to deceive?"
His words sounded tough.
But if he was willing to have so many thoughts in his heart, it meant that he did not reject the communication between them. In fact, he had left an opening for the Demonic Abyss Eye to invade and bewitch him.
This meant that he was already 'wavering'.
The Demonic Abyss Eye did not suspect anything. It swung its tentacles, and its voice became even more innocent. "Over the past half a century, humans have also killed countless monsters. Each time a human dies, at least ten times the number of monsters dies with them. So what?
"Over time, when human civilization was still on Earth, there were no monsters there, but humans still killed each other. The three world wars alone resulted in more than one billion deaths. No matter how many humans monsters killed, they couldn't have killed more than one billion people, right?
"Of course, before humans descended, monsters also killed each other. The number of monsters killed by monsters was thousands of times more than the number of monsters killed by humans.
"It's all killing. Humans kill monsters, monsters kill humans, humans kill humans, and monsters kill monsters. What's the difference? At the end of the day, it's the strong killing the weak!
"Natural selection is the survival of the fittest. Every civilization and ecosystem needs to continuously kill to evolve. Regardless of whether it's on Earth or the Other World, there are no species that can survive without killing. Why are you humans so bothered by the killings in the past?"
Meng Chao was originally thinking about stalling for time.
But when he heard the Demonic Abyss Eye's words, he could not help but laugh. "The killings between humans and monsters are not limited to the past. They're also in the present and future! I'm not interested in discussing good and evil with you. The simplest logic is that two tigers cannot share one mountain. Would you dare say that the final goal of the monster civilization isn't to completely destroy human civilization? “
He had played a little trick here.
He tossed out the concept of a monster civilization.
He wanted to see just how the Demonic Abyss Eye would react to those words.
"Our goal isn't to destroy humans."
The Demonic Abyss Eye swayed its tentacles and said calmly, "In truth, the killings over the past half a century didn't manage to destroy humans. Instead, they helped you become stronger.
"When there's pressure, there's motivation, and the pressure of death is the strongest motivation.
"When you first transmigrated to the Other World, you were just a bunch of ignorant normal people. Even if you were infected by the zombie virus and could sense the existence of spirit energy, you were far from creating a complete cultivation system.
"It's the appearance of monsters that stimulated your desire to live, which is why in just a short few decades, you managed to burn the dazzling flames of civilization. Countless geniuses and heroes appeared among you, and you reached the peak of physical strength, intellect, and spirit energy.
"If the monsters weren't an external threat, it would have been impossible for you to become so strong. In fact, you wouldn't have even had the foundation to unite. The difference between superhumans and normal people alone was enough for you to kill each other and split up.
"Similarly, we were originally muddle-headed beasts. Even if some Apocalyptic Beasts have destructive power, we never thought about using that power to do anything meaningful.
"It's the appearance of humans that forced the monsters of different races to work together. It forced the monsters who only knew how to use their claws to solve problems to use their brains that had been sealed for ten thousand years to think about problems other than hunting and the power of civilization.
"In this sense, we have made each other, we have shaped each other, we have helped each other to become stronger and more perfect.
"The unpardonable slaughter in your eyes is like a competition between two civilizations in my eyes. It's a 'training', a 'mutual competition', and a 'mutual evolution'. It's a good thing that I can't ask for more. “
It could be considered to have acknowledged the existence of a monster civilization.
Meng Chao was stunned for a long time before he said, "Sparring sessions, cultivating, and evolving together? That's complete nonsense! What about the people who died? What about the lives lost in vain because of the sparring sessions between two civilizations? "
"No one can live forever. Life is always being born, growing, aging, and dying. To a civilization, maintaining an appropriate ratio of survival of the fittest and metabolism is the key to continuous progress. “
"Regardless of whether it's humans or monsters, there are countless weaklings who waste resources, and the strong are burdened by the weak. They can't release all their energy to lead their civilization to greater heights or at the very least, survive in the even more brutal Other World battlefields.
"Over the past half a century of 'cultivation', we've helped each other get rid of a lot of weaklings so that the strong can stand out and obtain more resources. We can also pass down their powerful genes so that the entire race can become stronger.
"Humans and monsters are opponents who are on par with each other. They are each other's sabers and whetstones. They can sharpen each other's blades. As for the rust, is it important?"
"…"
Meng Chao sucked in a deep breath and mumbled, "No matter what, I won't believe your nonsense."
"I don't need you to believe me, and I don't need you to submit to me. If you're strong enough and have the chance to escape, you can kill more monsters. You can even tear me to shreds to take revenge," the Demonic Abyss Eye said with a smile.
The Demonic Abyss Eye smiled. "In any case, the monsters you killed are weaklings who don't have the right to waste resources. They don't deserve to live on this brutal planet. You, who killed them, are the truly strong. You have the right to control everything, including this planet.
"Similarly, when you kill the weak monsters, the strong monsters will also kill the weak humans. That way, we will become each other's filters. We will help each other get rid of the weak, stupid, and inferior genes in our races so that we can ensure that only the strongest genes can be passed down.
"The Other World is incredibly brutal. There are countless existences who are even more terrifying than us beyond Monster Mountain Range. Monster Mountain Range might seem like a hellish slaughterhouse, but in truth, it's just a cultivation room for our two civilizations." Let's continue sparring here and train to our limits. Then, we'll work together and slaughter our way out of Monster Mountain Range to conquer the entire Other World! “
It was accompanied by an innocent and bewitching voice.
A few indistinct figures rose in Meng Chao's mind.
They were the extraordinary beings of the Other World who were even more terrifying than monsters.
Meng Chao had already made up his mind to stall for time.
But at some point in time, he fell into the Demonic Abyss Eye's logic and thought, 'That's true. The real civilizations of the Other World are ten times more terrifying than monsters. It'll be difficult for Dragon Citizens to stop the apocalypse if they fight alone.
'If human civilization can really work together with the monster civilization and even fuse with them …
'Wait, I fell for it again!'
Meng Chao suddenly noticed that there was an Other World race known as Frost Demons in his mind just now.
The Frost Demons' habitat was thousands of kilometers away from Dragon City and Monster Mountain Range. It was located in the northernmost area, which was blocked by magma and sealed in ice.
Regardless of whether the Demonic Abyss Eye was an abnormal beast that evolved naturally or a Supernatural Entity created in a biochemical lab, there was no reason for it to know about the existence of Frost Demons.
Hence, most of what the Demonic Abyss Eye said just now was Meng Chao's own thoughts.
It was a thought hidden in the darkest part of Meng Chao's mind, and even he did not notice it.
It was … a thought from Apocalypse Meng Chao.
