"Absurd! Absolutely absurd!"
Wuying Qi gradually recovered from his initial shock and awe. Now that he was used to Li Yao's incessant mental attacks, he chuckled unrepentantly. "Aren't the rules that you mentioned invented by human beings for their survival? Only by trying to survive first can we talk about other things after we catch our breath. If the civilization of mankind perishes, what's the point of the morals and rules in the past?
"In any case, everything that I'm doing is to defend the civilization of mankind!"
"That's the greatest difference between you and me. We both believe that we are fighting for the civilization of mankind, but our definition of 'civilization of mankind' is too different."
Li Yao stood at the center of the red star. The star became his armor and the Colossus of his soul. He opened his hands and raised tides of flames hundreds of thousands of kilometers high again, confronting Blackstar the Great. "What is a human being exactly? Is it the appearance, the language, the genes, or the soul? Perhaps that was the case in the past. As long as one had the appearance and genes of human beings, could speak the language of human beings, and embraced the culture of human beings, they would be human beings.
"However, in the future where technology is constantly developing, genes can be freely modified, activated, and hibernated. Human beings will change into all kinds of bizarre forms according to the environment. The dominant genes from the thirteen carbon-based lives in the primeval era will be activated, giving them a brand-new appearance. Or even further, they will completely abandon their bodies and upload their souls to the Spiritual Nexus and the crystal processors. The so-called soul, on the other hand, can be easily modified by the data and modified beyond recognition!
"If such an era comes — no, it has already come — both the demons whose genes have been highly modified and the spectral Cultivators who have abandoned their bodies are not human beings in the narrow sense of the traditional sense, but we still acknowledge them as members of our civilization and our own kind.
"Then, if human beings are not determined by their genes or their soul, what should they be determined by? What can prove that they are human beings instead of ghosts and monsters?
"Other than the rules that are beyond life and death, beyond instincts, and beyond everything that I mentioned just now, what else can serve as the essence of a human being?
"In my opinion, if someone like you can kill, drive, and turn billions of people into mindless, obedient puppets without any hesitation for the sake of your interests, you and your accomplices will no longer be human beings but animals, demons, and bugs that pretend to be human beings!
"A civilization made of billions of animals, demons, and bugs like you doesn't deserve to be called a 'civilization of mankind' at all, but a 'civilization of animals', a 'civilization of demons', and a 'civilization of bugs'!
"The real civilization of mankind sounded its death knell the moment the capital planet was destroyed by you. By the time the demons such as you occupied the three thousand Sectors, the real civilization of mankind would be completely dead, and the civilization of demons would take over its place!
"Even if the descendants of demons such as you do occupy the entire universe under the banner of the civilization of mankind billions of years later, it will not be the continuation and victory of mankind but the continuation and victory of demons. It has nothing to do with the civilization of mankind today! Such a species whose billions of brains resonate with the same thought and who can easily sacrifice billions of people for their purpose will never be a real human being, much less a real civilization! "
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Li Yao gathered countless shooting stars with his telepathic thoughts and attacked the black sun.
But this time, they were all blocked by the crazily dancing tentacles of the black sun, and some were even swallowed and absorbed directly.
"Hehehehe, shameless boasting. After talking for so long, you only know how to stand on the moral high ground and talk nonsense that is neither painful, itchy, nor useful!"
Wuying Qi chuckled in a low voice. "At the very least, I've worked out the Next Sun Plan for the future of the civilization of mankind. What about you? What can you do except sabotage in such sordid ways like a naïve high school student? A hypocrite such as you is a classic example of a failure. Can you come up with a more reasonable solution than the Next Sun Plan to guide the future of the civilization of mankind? Without a new plan, how can mankind be saved if you only deny my plan? "
"I don't think that I'm the smartest guy among billions of human beings, and I've never been interested in being a commander who guides the future."
Li Yao said casually, "However, if it's just a crazy, stupid, and childish thing like the Next Sun Plan, I can come up with dozens of ideas in half a minute!
"You don't believe me? Then, I'll try to come up with a plan in a couple of seconds and show you my amazing computational ability and deduction ability!
"Let me think … Got it. The greatest dilemma of mankind that you mentioned is the shortage of resources and the disunity of people. Both of those problems can be resolved through the virtualization of human beings.
"The explosive development of the modern crystal processors and the Spiritual Nexus has made it possible to scan the human brain deeply and digitize the soul. I believe that, under the conscious guidance and training, it won't be long before the soul of human beings gets rid of the limitation of the brain and lives entirely in the bionic chips that are specially designed for this purpose.
"By then, the consciousness of thousands of people will exist in a tiny space, and the body will only preserve the most important organs for the continuation of genes. Even the few cells that are preserved will be stored, nurtured, and uploaded to the Spiritual Nexus. In such a way, mankind's demand for resources and environment will be greatly reduced, and they will be able to 'live' freely even in the rocks deep below the ground.
"What's even more amazing is that human beings barely die in the virtual world. The resources are just a few lines of data. Selfishness is barely a problem. Those who are most selfish and unwilling to cooperate with their companions can absolutely establish a space on their own and enjoy themselves. Other people, on the other hand, can abandon most of the material stimuli and focus on the development of their civilization and the mysteries of the universe.
"I call such a virtual world 'Spiriters', and the brand-new human beings will be called 'Spiriters'. When the new human beings want to change the appearance of the material world, they can choose all kinds of shells that are similar to artificial bodies. The shells can be divided into 'tactical shells' and 'strategic shells'. The tactical shells as small as a couple of meters tall and as large as a 'strategic shell' made of a starship or even a space fortress can be controlled by a Spiriter. Even if the shell is damaged, the Spiriters can escape back to the 'Spiriters' as long as the Spiritual Nexus is available.
"Such new human beings have strong survival abilities and consume few resources. It is difficult for them to have conflicts with each other because of the lack of resources. They can also enter the hibernation state easily during a long space voyage. In the meantime, they can infer the optimal strategy for the evolution of their civilization in different virtual worlds and only implement it in the material world after they find the correct answer after thousands of tries. It can't be more perfect!
"Here, this is the solution to the future of mankind that I came up with in a couple of seconds. I've named it 'Virtualization Plan'. How about it? It's as good as your 'Next Sun Plan', isn't it?"
Wuying Qi was rather stunned.
"Well …"
He found it hard to believe. "Did you really come up with it in such a short time?"
"Of course. Did I have to work on such a childish plan for ten years? It was settled as soon as my lips touched my lips! "
Li Yao said, "So, don't think that you're great just because you can brag, and don't think that the civilization of mankind has to be led by a lunatic like you. I'm a hundred times more terrifying than you when I brag like a lunatic! Come on, tell me if there are any loopholes in my solution. Why is your 'Next Sun Plan' the only correct path but my 'Virtualization Plan' isn't? "
Wuying Qi was deep in thought.
Of course, he could've crushed the enemy with his overwhelming mental power, but such a violent solution would not convince everybody in the mental network. However, Li Yao was in such a hurry, and Li Yao was talking so extravagantly. How could he find any loopholes?
"You're speechless now, aren't you?"
Li Yao sneered, "In fact, both the 'Next Sun Plan' that you worked on for decades and the 'Virtualization Plan' that I came up with in ten seconds with my extraordinary imagination and computational ability are equally bullsh * t. You can't find any loopholes because they're so full of loopholes that they don't have any loopholes at all.
"Perhaps, in the long run, both plans have certain merits, but when they are actually implemented, they will face countless technical difficulties, ethical implications, moral risks, the price to be paid, and the remedies should they fail.
"Only by exploring, exploring, experimenting, and experimenting on a small scale tirelessly can an illusory plan be turned into reality step by step so that tomorrow will arrive step by step. It is not something that can be accomplished overnight. Instead, it requires the consensus, wisdom, and hard work of millions of people! On the other hand, if we brag irresponsibly, the 'Next Sun Plan' or the 'Virtualization Plan' will be out. But have you ever considered the technical problems? Can you bear the responsibility if we fail?
