"Such the Three Fundamental Laws."
Li Yao felt a chill in his heart.
Although his foster father had said that the Path of Ultimate Benevolence was not a good thing, it was not until this moment that he tasted the coldness, ruthlessness, and meticulousness of the Path of Ultimate Benevolence for the first time.
The Three Fundamental Laws were like three finely-structured, indestructible shackles that were attached to him one after another, almost suffocating him.
Li Yao grunted and opened his hands and feet out of instinct, trying to break free from the invisible shackles.
He vaguely felt that human beings under the suppression of the Three Fundamental Laws were the slaves of the Pangu.
No. They were even lower than slaves!
Although the Imperium of True Human Beings divided human beings into true human beings and hominoids and kept tremendous slaves, it was not hard to tell from the conversation of Su Changfa and the other Immortal Cultivators that they admitted that the 'hominoids' boasted the feelings and feelings of normal human beings and that they were just 'relatively inferior human beings' who could still be '99% human beings' after 'training'.
However, after seeing that the Pangu were 'producing human beings' in such a weird way and establishing such a strict 'Three Fundamental Laws', not only were they not considered human beings, they were not even animals or any living creatures, but they were some sort of tools, like spiritual puppets!
So, in the eyes of the Pangu, are we spiritual puppets made of cells one cell after another?
Li Yao asked himself in his heart.
In such a case, his foster father's claim that the Holy League was ten thousand times eviler than the Imperium was understandable.
The splendid black cube, the thousands of metal capsules that were used to produce human beings, and the Three Fundamental Laws that were still glittering after hundreds of thousands of years … Such a weird scene turned the depression into thick, black fog that pressed on the four of them and crawled into their bodies through every pore, infiltrating the deepest part of their gene strands.
The shackles that had been broken for thousands of years were rekindled and seething.
One of the Cultivators and the three Immortal Cultivators bit their lips softly. Their fists were shaking beyond their control as they resisted the solemn and enormous strength.
"Senior Su, is this a Pangu factory used to produce humans?"
Li Yao asked.
Su Changfa nodded slightly. His voice was cold and hard. "Yes. You should have seen it on the Primeval Battlefield. Both sides had human warriors. The Pangu people also had a large number of human warriors working for them. That was how those human warriors came to be."
It was actually real!
Li Yao clicked his tongue. "Produce humans."
"This isn't some unfathomable method."
Su Changfa sneered. "Even with the level of our civilization, artificial insemination and test tube babies are as easy as pie. All we need to do now is to create an environment that simulates the womb. How difficult can it be?"
Li Yao nodded. That was true. Not to mention the Empire, even the Xing Yao Federation was very mature in terms of IVF technology. Furthermore, there were some special medical pods and life-threatening pods that could simulate the environment in the womb. Even couples who could not have children did not have to look for a surrogate mother, which would create ethical problems.
However, that was not what he wanted to ask.
"Why?"
Li Yao raised his head and looked at the black pillars that 'soared into the sky' and the countless metal capsules that were hanging on the branches. "Human beings can reproduce on their own. Why do they have to produce human beings in such complicated ways?"
"I don't know," Su Changfa said.
"There are many speculations. Perhaps, the genes of human beings who reproduce in the wild are not stable enough, and they might not be able to produce excellent farmers, workers, and warriors. Also, their output is affected by the changes of environment, and they tend to act on their own without being controlled.
"But if they are produced in such factories, it will be convenient for them to carry out genetic modification from the fertilized eggs. The quality and output will be very stable. With the minimal consumption of nutrition and energy, human beings will be able to pass the useless infant and adolescent phase and develop into adults directly. The moment they are off the production line, they will be able to work and fight.
"Most importantly of all, it will be easier for the Pangu people to implant themselves in our brains if they are produced in the factories."
With a gloomy face, Su Changfa tapped the temple of his helmet softly. Thinking for a moment, he shook his head and said, "No. Not the brain, but the deepest part of every cell, including the brain cells, and on every gene strand, including every brain cell, will be branded with the three fundamental laws!"
Although Li Yao could not see his face, he was still deeply shocked by the guy's voice that was filled with hatred. He could not help but touch the back of his head.
Of course, the only thing he touched was the cold helmet.
"We are tools."
Su Changfa's voice sounded like a cold wind blowing out of an ice cave in the North Pole. He sneered. "Do you not feel that allowing a tool to run here and there on its own and upgrade and duplicate beyond its control is a very dangerous thing in the eyes of the creators of the tool, and it should be forbidden?"
Li Yao pondered for a moment and understood the logic.
He recalled the fear in his heart when he was faced with overwhelming Grand Illusionary Soldiers during the Immortal Cultivators' rebellion in the Flying Star Sector.
It was not the fear of the Immortal Cultivators such as Xiao Xuance, but the fear of the Grand Illusionary Soldiers, tools that were taller, faster, and stronger than ordinary people themselves!
Li Yao glanced at the spiritual puppets around.
Detecting the angle of his head, the ten spiritual puppets that were responsible for protecting him immediately reacted and turned to his direction, too.
More than a hundred crystal cameras were glittering in various parts of their bodies, as if they were beaming with the brilliance of wisdom.
Spiritual puppets could not be upgraded on their own. Their production and duplication were highly controlled by the Immortal Cultivators, too.
However, what if the war base that had been teleported to Kunlun did not carry any Immortal Cultivators but purely consisted of spiritual puppets that could upgrade, duplicate, and spread out on a large scale according to the different environments, building their own 'territory'?
Li Yao thought for a moment and felt that such a scene would be even more dreadful than ten thousand Immortal Cultivators.
"Xiao Tang, it seems that you are right. Although this place is not Wild Shepard, the most critical battlefield in the God-Sealing War, it should be a planet dedicated to the production of human beings just like Wild Shepard," Su Changfa said.
"The production of human beings will consume tremendous spiritual energy. There must be more than one such underground city. There must be hundreds of human beings manufacturing centers, too!
"With such a huge production rate, a steady and continuous source of spiritual energy was required. The pulsar was the best choice.
"That's why the Pangu clan built such an enormous planetary warship near the pulsar. This place was their arsenal!
"In such a case, the purpose of the attackers was obvious. They were trying to break into the human beings manufacturing center to liberate more compatriots!
"Judging from the result, the attackers' strategy must have worked out. Look. Only part of the human warriors were not liberated. Most of them escaped!"
Su Changfa's words made the three of them feel more or less relieved.
Although they were on different sides, they were all happy about the minor victory of human beings hundreds of thousands of years ago.
"What exactly was the Battle of Wild Shepard?"
Li Yao took the opportunity to ask. The more information he gathered about the primeval war, the better.
"The Battle of Wild Shepard was the most critical battle in the God-Sealing War," Su Changfa explained.
"Legend has it that Wild Shepard was the largest human beings manufacturing center of the Pangu clan. It must have been a hundred times larger than this place!
"On Wild Shepard, the Pangu civilization produced the strongest human warriors nonstop and branded their cells with the laws of the Three Fundamental Principles to suppress the uncontrollable barbarians who were born in the wild!
"The Pangu civilization was very powerful. They had the upper hand and were about to suppress all the barbarians.
"At the critical moment, the elite warriors of the barbarians assaulted Wild Shepherd and shattered all the magical equipment that was responsible for the branding of the Three Fundamental Laws deep inside the human manufacturing center, just like this crystal. They also tried to plant the idea of resistance in all the human warriors that had been produced!
"As a result, a large batch of human warriors betrayed us right in front of the battle. The Pangu clan set the fire for them. Eventually, they were suppressed, sealed, and killed by us!
"Judging from the scale of this planet, it does not seem to be the critical Wild Shepard. Perhaps, it was a test before the attack on Wild Shepard. Judging from the result, the experiment was very successful!
"Break the Origin Crystal and liberate all human beings!"
Li Yao recalled the great achievements of the human experts in the primeval era millions of years ago. He could not help but feel that his blood was boiling!
"Yes. Just like this!"
Su Changfa's voice was filled with destructive power. The Erratic Light Cannons on the shoulders of the Crystal Suit began to shine brilliantly!
Kou Ruhuo, the chief of arms, and Tang Qianhe, the navigator, raised their heavy and tough crystal cannons and storm bolters, too!
"Human beings must obey all the orders of the Pangu and not hurt the Pangu?"
Kou Ruhuo sneered. He suddenly opened his helmet and spat. "Go! You! Damn! You! "
The three Immortal Cultivators opened fire at the same time. Dozens of colorful whips of light slapped the transparent cube brutally. The crystal that contained the Three Fundamental Principles generated a shield that looked like a soap bubble. Mystic rays were spluttering, and flames of spiritual energy were soaring, illuminating the entire gloomy, terrifying manufacturing center!
The two parties were at an impasse for several seconds. Then, the soap bubble fell apart and dispersed abruptly. The dozens of whips of light hit the Origin Crystal directly. The crystal collapsed abruptly. The runes that contained the Three Fundamental Principles shrieked and struggled in the flames of light for a long time. Then, like ghosts that had fallen into magma, they gradually melted, disintegrated, and perished! To be continued ^
