Heiye Ming was rendered speechless. He was about to berate the guy. Wasn't the mess right now caused by the Immortal Cultivator who loved the Federation?
However, with everything coming to this point, what was the point of complaining?
Heiye Ming was well aware that the guy had shown up in such a weird form for much more than just to destroy the Black Wind Fleet.
This Lu Qingchen was in a rather ambiguous relationship with the government of the Federation!
Lu Qingchen's voice continued calmly and softly. "The true path of immortality of the Imperium of True Human Beings is based on lies. No matter how you brag about it, a lie is a lie after all. You intentionally distinguish between the so-called 'true human beings' and 'hominoids', elevate the role of the true human beings, and belittle and exploit the hominoids blatantly. You do not even consider the hominoids as members of human beings. It is a rather hilarious approach from the perspective of genetics, biology, and sociology. You are simply covering your ears while stealing a bell!
"Regardless of their strength, true human beings and hominoids are the same species. It is not something that the Imperium can change by making a few laws and modifying a few dictionaries and biology textbooks.
"If you do not even dare to admit such a fact, how are you going to pursue the real path?
"Right now, there are a lot of ordinary people in the Union Army on your opposite side. Didn't the 'hominoids' that you despise unleash the most brilliant brilliance and drag you into the swamp that you have been mired in? The fact is right in front of your eyes. General Ming, how long are you going to ignore it? "
Heiye Ming gritted his teeth. Every nerve all over his body was shivering violently.
It was not because of Lu Qingchen's words, but because the black jellyfish were slowly swallowing his legs like humus that looked like mud. They even generated a weird attraction force and were about to suck him into the depths of the black ocean!
"The system of the Imperium is the most excellent one. Even if there are suspicions of overcorrection, human beings have the distinction between superior and inferior bloodlines. The universe is so vast, but there are so few resources. Wasting the precious resources on the inferior bloodlines is a great crime that will lead to the destruction of the entire civilization!
Heiye Ming bellowed, "Enough of the petty nonsense. My belief will never be shaken!"
Lu Qingchen couldn't help but laugh. "General Ming, as I said just now, I am a cultivator just like you. How can I be so soft-hearted?
"Don't be hasty. Listen to me. It is true that the Imperium of True Human Beings is based on lies, but so is my dear motherland, the Xing Yao Federation.
"The lie of the Imperium of True Human Beings is that the so-called 'Immortal Cultivators' and 'ordinary people' are two completely different species. The lie of the Star Glory Federation, on the other hand, is that there is no fundamental difference between 'Cultivators' and 'ordinary people'. They are exactly the same!
"Tsk, tsk, tsk. Haven't you noticed, General Ming? They are like two sides of a coin. Both sides have gone to extremes.
"As a matter of fact, no matter how bright, passionate, and righteous the theories are, the theory that 'everybody is equal' will always be an empty statement. It is fine for a high school student to talk about it when he has nothing to worry about. But as the leader of a civilization, it will definitely be a disaster for the entire civilization if you take such an idea seriously.
"Just like you said, General Ming, human beings are indeed divided into 'noble' and 'despicable'. But personally, I believe that the so-called 'superior bloodlines' and 'inferior bloodlines' are not necessarily divided by whether or not their spiritual root has been awakened, their immense strength, or their remarkable computational ability. Such a classification is too simple, crude, and mechanical."
Heiye Ming was dazed. "What standards are there for the distinction of superiority if not spiritual root and level?"
He was more and more confused about who the guy who was bewildering him was.
Heiye Ming had seen a lot of regular Cultivators and was highly immune to their outdated theories.
But Lu Qingchen claimed that he was an Immortal Cultivator and that his motherland was based on lies. That was —
Before he knew it, Heiye Ming was struggling less and less violently.
"What is vaster than the land is the ocean. What is vaster than the ocean is the sky. What is deeper than the sky is the mind of human beings!"
Lu Qingchen remarked with mixed feelings. "Human beings. Noble human beings, mysterious human beings, and strong human beings. Nobody knows how much strength is stored inside the mysterious and boundless mind. Such strength cannot be measured by one or two organs or the stupid levels such as the Refinement Stage, the Building Foundation Stage, the Core Formation Stage, the Yuanying Stage, or the Divinity Transformation Stage.
"Even a mother who is too weak to fight can unleash the strength that can destroy planets when her children are hurt. Even the experts who have advanced into the Core Formation Stage or even the Yuanying Stage can be shameless and cowardly because of certain mutations. They can even waste precious resources on internal strife for their own interests instead of really pushing the civilization forward.
"Isn't that exactly the case for the Imperium of True Human Beings?
"According to your theories, by concentrating most of the resources on the true human beings, or the Immortal Cultivators, the Imperium should be thriving, and the civilization should be striding forward. A thousand years should be enough for you to unite the sea of stars and march to the depths of the universe further away, right?
"But in fact, how many resources have the Immortal Cultivators truly devoted to the improvement of the civilization of mankind, and how many resources have they spent on schemes, internal strife, meaningless internal strife, and suppression of the Cultivators and the 'hominoids'?
"Aren't you the best example, General Ming? You did not have the courage to ask for reinforcements from the homeland of the Imperium but chose the stupidest strategy of lone assault because you were worried that the reinforcements from the homeland of the Imperium might have ill intentions and swallow the Black Wind Fleet.
"Ask yourself, if you are really doing everything for the civilization of mankind as you claim, why are you so distrustful of each other and more wary of your allies than your enemies? Can such a resource allocation really be called 'the most excellent system of the civilization of mankind'?"
Blushing, Heiye Ming hesitated for a long time before he said, "What about the Xing Yao Federation?"
"Although it is slightly better than the Imperium, there are fatal problems, too," Lu Qingchen said casually.
Lu Qingchen said casually, "It's exactly what you and I talked about just now. Everybody is theoretically equal. So, tremendous resources must be devoted to protect their basic rights. Even the lazy, shameless, stupid, and cowardly people have to waste tremendous resources to provide for them. At the very least, they cannot be frozen or starved to death, nor can they be forced to work.
"Right now, the Xing Yao Federation is just on the path of rise. With the protection of the resource planets discovered in the seven Sectors and the technological leaps brought about by Kunlun, it is still able to afford the cost of the 'petty kindness'.
"But the journey in the sea of stars cannot always be so smooth. When the Federation slowly expands, such inferior classes will grow like tumors and completely invade the nerves and bones of the Federation. When we encounter certain unpredictable dangers in the dark universe, my motherland is destined to be destroyed by such 'petty kindness'.
"The ideology of the Cultivators is an out-and-out lie. Human beings are born unequal. Some of them are smarter, more diligent, more self-disciplined, and more tenacious. What's wrong with allocating as many resources as possible to the excellent people so that the inferior genes and bloodlines will be eliminated naturally?"
Heiye Ming was truly confused. "Isn't — isn't it similar to the ideology of the Imperium? But you do not agree with the Imperium or the Federation. What do you want exactly?"
"The ideals of the Federation and the Imperium both have their advantages and disadvantages," Lu Qingchen said. "That's why we need to reform the Federation, the Imperium, and even the entire universe!
"As I said just now, I am an Immortal Cultivator who believes in the survival of the fittest and the continuous evolution of human beings. But I am also a member of the Federation who has been edified by humanitarianism and believes in the brilliance of humanity.
"I cannot agree with the Imperium's evaluation system that considers strength as the only standard, nor do I agree with your cruel treatment of the 'hominoids'. Such idiotic savaging and exploitation not only have a low productivity but also easily raise the resistance of the hominoids, it has also tarnished the noblest spirit of the civilization of mankind and reduced human beings to the level of animals.
"However, what if we can balance the approaches of the Federation and the Imperium and concentrate the advantages of the true path of the Cultivators and the true path of immortality?
"Yes, there are superior and inferior human beings, and there are 'superhumans' and 'mortals'. Most of the resources should be concentrated on the 'superior superhumans', but even for the 'inferior mortals', why do we have to be so cruel and harsh? Even if they do belong to the targets that should be eliminated naturally, can't we treat our compatriots with a bit of humanitarianism and consider it as the 'hospice care' for the inferior genes? "
Heiye Ming sneered. "That's easy for you to say. Like you said, the inferior hominoids are all stupid, lazy, cowardly, and weak. Even the fierce whipping might not be enough to make them work well. How can we have so many precious resources to give them humanitarianism and hospice care?"
"Of course, there are not so many precious resources in reality, but things are different in the virtual world," Lu Qingchen said calmly.
"The civilization of mankind in my mind should be divided into two classes and two worlds. The inferior bloodlines, the ordinary people, or the 'hominoids' in your eyes, are not qualified to live in reality and waste precious resources. They should all live in the virtual world.
"In that place, nobody will abuse or exploit them, and nobody will rule them from high above. They can play however they want, be as crazy as they want, and squander their lives however they want. That's humanitarianism enough, and it won't raise any resistance, will it?
