Su Changfa led Li Yao to an arc-shaped secret chamber. The silver walls were glittering, making him feel that he was in the middle of a giant, translucent egg.
Light and shadow flickered, and the wall gradually melted and disappeared, turning into a boundless sea of stars. The three thousand worlds and the infinite star regions were like shining lanterns, floating up and down in the dark and boundless universe.
Gradually, all the stars were stretched into thin lines. It was as if they had jumped from the universe into the depths of the sea of stars. The nebula and stars were constantly magnified, and a grayish-brown planet was quickly magnified in front of them.
It was an enormous simulation room of the 'Grand Illusionary Land'. The Grand Illusionary Land that was triggered was more real than all the Grand Illusionary Land that Li Yao had ever seen. It was even more detailed than the real world.
He could vaguely sense that information streams that were as vast as an ocean were surging and raging behind every light and shadow!
Li Yao was secretly puzzled. When performing a super long-distance space jump, every gram of weight would be a huge burden. A tremendous amount of spiritual energy would have to be consumed in order to be teleported over.
On the starships that performed the super long-distance space jump, every gram of weight would be calculated precisely. They would never carry anything that was of no use.
Why was there such a seemingly useless simulation room of the 'Grand Illusionary Land' on Su Changfa's' Flourishing Sun '?
Thinking quickly, Li Yao immediately realized what was going on.
It was a 'brainwashing room'.
The three Immortal Cultivators had come from afar. They were certainly trying to develop their own kind in the new world and raise loyal spokespersons in order to expand the influence of the Imperium of True Human Beings.
The 'guides' that were developed with power and interests were all despicable scumbags who had absolutely no loyalty. They could be converted back by greater power and interests at any moment.
Only by brainwashing the 'guides' completely and turning them into real Immortal Cultivators who would work for the Imperium of True Human Beings dutifully would they be the most brilliant approach!
Therefore, a 'brainwashing room' was necessary on their starship in order to deeply brainwash the key persons such as Li Yao!
Li Yao estimated that their process should be like this. First, they would determine the value of the target and the possibility of winning them over. Then, they would use threats and promises to win them over.
After the target was roped in, he would test the target with a whole set of words. If the target's belief was not firm and his worldview was relatively fragile, it was very likely that his worldview, life, and values would collapse completely.
After that, it was brought here. Through a more "realistic" "historical story," it reconstructed a completely new worldview.
For the Cultivators below the Yuanying Stage whose belief was not firm, it was indeed possible that they would be dizzy after the three slashes and end up believing in the ideology without a doubt, ending up as Immortal Cultivators in the end!
Li Yao snorted coldly in his heart.
He had already reached the Yuanying level, and his Dao heart and soul had merged into one. He was the most stubborn person, and there was no way that he would be brainwashed by a few words and a few stories.
He just watched coldly, wondering what other tricks these cultivators had up their sleeves!
In front of Li Yao, the brown planet grew larger and larger. He could tell that it was the fourth planet of a certain star, which boasted its own atmosphere and abundant ocean resources.
The picture gradually passed through the atmosphere, and the perspective lowered all the way. Every detail of the planet could be seen clearly.
It was not hard to tell that it was a planet with a highly developed civilization that had undergone large-scale modification and construction. On the vast continent, cities that looked like honeycombs could be found everywhere. They were connected to each other through a certain translucent vacuum tube.
All the cities were densely packed with skyscrapers. Many of the cities were even larger than the capital city of the Xing Yao Federation!
However, all the cities were empty and lifeless. Even the most glamorous buildings were full of rust and dust.
They were like countless tombstones standing together, telling the glory of the past without a sound.
What left the deepest impression on Li Yao was a statue almost a hundred meters tall in the square at the center of one of the cities. It was a young man with one hand on his waist and the other pointing at the sun.
From the vigorous face and the magnificent body, one could vaguely see the fearlessness and bravery of the civilization of mankind in the golden years of this world!
It was a pity that the statue was rusted at this moment, and its smile was covered in dust and stains. There were traces of bird droppings everywhere on the body of the statue. A lot of vines were also swallowing it inch by inch from the bottom to the top.
The previously glittering statue had turned into a mixture of brown, rusty red, and deep green. It was now a ragged mess.
Su Changfa's deep voice echoed behind Li Yao. "Now, I'm going to tell you the story of the three Sectors. After the collapse of the Star Ocean Imperium, they all absorbed part of the essence of the civilization of the imperium and were the first batch to be revived. Led by the Cultivators, they reached the glorious peak!
"However, it was exactly because of the Cultivators' uncontrollable pity, their selfish hypocrisy, and their idiotic ideology of 'protecting the ordinary people at any cost' that the three Sectors gradually embarked on the path of self-destruction and were destroyed in the end.
"Their destruction was neither the invasion of alien species nor the arrival of natural disasters. It had nothing to do with the Imperium of True Human Beings at all!
"In fact, one of the Sectors of the Cultivators had already self-destructed before the Imperium of True Human Beings was born! What was left for us was a pile of dead bodies, a tombstone, and an unforgettable lesson!
"This is the 'Curly Dragon Sector', the first Sector!"
The world around Li Yao slightly shivered and displayed the map of all the space zones of the Curly Dragon Sector, which was flickering unpredictably.
"Like the Flying Star Sector, the Curly Dragon Sector is a Sector with dozens of space zones and a large but sparsely populated population. Located near the capital ring of the Star Ocean Imperium in the past, it was one of the more prosperous Sectors. It was not scourged by too many wars, either. Therefore, it gradually recovered in the second thousand years after the collapse of the Star Ocean Imperium!
The picture flashed. Countless human beings in bizarre clothes were excavating relics, exploring alien planets, and rebuilding their civilization in the Curly Dragon Sector.
Despite the harsh environment, hope and happiness were glowing on everybody's face, as if a fire was burning furiously in their chests.
"However, the resource distribution of the Curly Dragon Sector is very special. Its mother planet, 'Curly Dragon Sector', is the only naturally habitable planet, is in short supply of crystals. Most of the resources are stored in the resource planets with harsh environments at the edge of the Curly Dragon Sector that are extremely far away from the mother planet!"
Li Yao nodded. It seemed to be the case in the Flying Star Sector, too.
Perhaps, it was the common feature of the Sectors with multiple space zones.
"At first, the ignorant natives of the Curly Dragon Sector did not realize it. Relying on the resources on their mother planet, which were not very abundant, they still developed a highly-advanced civilization!
"The more advanced a civilization was, the more crystals it consumed. Very soon, the population of the Curly Dragon Sector boomed, and all the crystals were running dry!
"At that time, the natives of the Curly Dragon Sector excavated a few more relics from the Star Ocean Imperium and finally had a clearer understanding of the world that they were in!
"After learning that all the crystals on the Curly Dragon Sector were buried in the shallow surface of the planet and that there was nothing left to be excavated, all the natives of the Curly Dragon Sector were soaked in cold sweat!
"Hehe. Fellow Cultivator Li, if you were the leader of the Curly Dragon Sector, what would you do in such a situation?"
Li Yao blurted out without thinking, "Isn't it simple? Organize a mining fleet immediately and go to the resource planets in the remote space zones for mining!"
"That's right. This is the most correct way of thinking. The resources of any planet will be exhausted. Every civilization is faced with a cruel race of death from the moment of its birth. That is to find a way to jump out of the mother planet before the resources are exhausted!"
"If they grasp the advanced space cruising technology before the resources run dry and jump out of their mother planet into space, their civilization will be preserved and enter the next round of the race that is even crueler.
"But if they cannot jump out of their mother planet after the resources run dry, they will be trapped in the cradle forever, unless they are lucky enough to be discovered by a civilization of a higher level in time!"
Su Changfa sighed and said, "The problem for the natives of the Curly Dragon Sector is that their mother planet is too deceptive!
"Other than the crystals, the Curly Dragon Sector has a lot of abundant resources and metal mother lodes. It has almost everything. The climate is stable, too. Destructive natural disasters are rare, and there are no demons or extraterrestrial devils. It is the most suitable natural paradise for the reproduction of life forms!
"Even though the crystals are scarce, most of them are buried in the shallow surface of the planet and are not difficult to develop. There are even a lot of open-air crystal mines. It is possible that you will kick the raw crystals when you kick them, giving people the illusion that there are more abundant mother lodes of crystals deeper below the ground.
"Therefore, for a long time, the natives of the Curly Dragon Sector thought that their mother planet was truly a place with abundant resources!
"They were not in a hurry to explore the sea of stars at all. Instead, they devoted all their resources to the construction of their mother planet and built the Curly Dragon Sector into a splendid paradise on earth. The living environment was greatly improved. Not just the Cultivators, even the ordinary people were able to live an extravagant and extravagant life!
"Everybody thought that such a life would last forever. Everybody regarded the six-hour working day, paid holidays, three-year maternity leave, generous pensions, and other benefits as their natural rights. Everybody wanted the easiest, most 'creative' job. The tertiary industries such as entertainment, gambling, and so on were popular. Nobody cared about the more tiring fundamental jobs. The workers in such jobs often went on strike in the name of 'human rights violations', demanding shorter working hours, better working conditions, and higher benefits and salaries!
"Such a carefree life lasted for three hundred years. On the surface, there were no problems. The Curly Dragon Sector became a model of harmonious coexistence between the Cultivators and the ordinary people. It was a paradise where human rights were absolutely guaranteed!
"It was a pity that the good days finally came to an end. All the crystals on the Curly Dragon Sector were about to run out!
"After analyzing the resource distribution map of the Curly Dragon Sector in the Star Ocean Imperium, the natives of the Curly Dragon Sector received a piece of good news and a piece of bad news.
"The good news was that the resources of the Curly Dragon Sector were not barren at all. A lot of crystals were still abundant, which were enough for them to exploit for thousands of years.
"The bad news was that the crystals were all distributed in the most remote space zones of the Curly Dragon Sector. The environment was extremely harsh and unsuitable for the survival of human beings!
"Since the natives of the Curly Dragon Sector boasted such a prosperous mother planet as the 'Curly Dragon Sector', there was no need for them to develop space sailing technology on a large scale for hundreds of years.
"Thankfully, they had a large business and a lot of relics of the Star Ocean Imperium. After excavating, analyzing, and copying, they finally boasted the elementary space sailing and mining abilities!
"However …
"After careful analysis, the specialists and scholars of the Curly Dragon Sector concluded that, with their current technology, they would have to pay a lot of sacrifices if they were to go to the remote space zones for mining!
"Countless miners would've been killed miserably in the cold, dark, alien planets for various reasons!
"The death rate would be proportional to the amount of crystals they exploited. If they wanted resources, they would have to trade for them with lives!
"According to preliminary estimates, for every ton of raw crystals mined, there is a possibility that three to five miners will die!"
