The Red Pole Star's soul seemed to have turned into a furiously burning lotus, spurting out intense sparks in all directions.
But the will of Earth was not moved at all. It simply appreciated the magnificence of the red lotus.
"Your appearance reminds me of the first batch of human beings who lived on the 'home planet' a long time ago. Reckless, proud, idiotic, and full of shocking explosive and destructive power. What a … beautiful creation."
The will of Earth remarked with mixed feelings. "It's a pity that, in order to survive in the boundless universe and discover the truth behind the universe, foolish zeal is far from enough. This is not a world where the louder one roars, the more strength one can output.
"Besides, you and I are not purely hostile. I am like a person and the cells in his body to you. Can you say that the existence of 'person' as a whole restrains, manipulates, and even suppresses the vitality and infinite possibilities of every cell inside his body? I'm afraid that it is not as simple as that, right? In fact, not only am I not restraining, manipulating, and suppressing, I am protecting and guiding you! Without me, you couldn't have existed at all. Even if you managed to survive, you would have been destroyed by your own shortcomings very soon.
"Where can the hair grow without the skin? Be it bacteria, viruses, or cancer cells, no tiny life out of control can survive on its own after the mother is destroyed. Do you really know what you are doing?
"I do. I know it even more clearly than you do. When 'Vulture Li Yao' grew up, he encountered a lot of devils of various shapes and sizes. Those devils often went against Li Yao and even the civilization under the pretentious banners. But I am different from them. I am not Yan Xibei, Xiao Xuance, Elder Nether Spring, Lu Zui, Blackstar the Great, or any of those boring people. My purpose is difficult for you to understand. Therefore, I don't care about winning or losing on your cognitive level at all. After all, what appears in front of you is just a projection of myself in the three-dimensional universe. I have no intention of playing a ferocious devil, and you do not need to play a righteous hero."
The Red Pole Star was completely confused by what the Earth's will had just said.
Even though he — or rather, Li Yao in the past had often been confused and confused by the words of the various Demon Kings, this time, he could deeply feel the loneliness and sincerity of the Earth's will.
"What exactly do you want?"
Red Pole Star couldn't help but ask, "Weren't you the one who locked the six billion heroes in the Prison of Samsara and exploited their feelings, ambitions, desires, and imaginations … and everything that makes a human being human?"
"A summer worm cannot talk about the ice, and a frog in a well cannot talk about the sea. Believe me, I'm really willing to tell you all my purposes and plans, but how can a person make the E. coli in his body understand how magnificent and dangerous the world he's in is, how difficult and brilliant his path is, and how magnificent and unreachable his dream is?" "That's right. That's right.
The Earth's will sighed. "It does make sense. With your wisdom and computational ability, it's already your limit to understand the step of 'exploiting feelings and imaginations'. It's impossible for you to understand that those feelings and imaginations are just a fulcrum used to pry the infinite Multiverse on the quantum level!
"Therefore, as far as you can understand, your guess is correct, even if it's only one billionth of a chance.
"I only need to correct you on one thing. In most cases, I don't have to actively restart the Prison of Samsara. In fact, I even hope that human beings can carefully protect their home so that this blue planet can survive for a while longer and find a way out that's different from the beginning.
"It's a pity that after countless attempts, human beings are often destroyed by their boundless ambitions. Air pollution, ecological disasters, species extinction, super viruses, economic crises, network paralysis, terrorist attacks, and even total wars between nuclear superpowers … There are too many ways to destroy this fragile civilization that even I can't save it. I can only resurrect all human beings again and again after you've messed everything up so that everything can be restored to the original state. Is it a crime to resurrect a person?
"Moreover, don't you think that human beings are a species that will never discover how much potential they have unless they are forced into desperation? Nothing could stimulate human beings to release their greatest courage, wisdom, light of hope, and splendid humanity more than the arrival of the apocalypse!
"Look!"
Silver ripples spread out from the will of Earth, forming 3D images around the red pole star. They displayed the scenes of disasters all over the world more clearly than the screens on the red pole star.
Earthquakes, floods, tsunamis, storms, mudslides, and volcanic eruptions. All human beings seemed to be trembling and helpless before those destructive disasters.
However, not everyone was like that. Faced with the calamity, some gritted their teeth and persisted, using their lives to build shiny sabers and sturdy shields to resist the world!
They shuttled through the ruins of the collapsed cities, digging into the soil with their bare and bleeding fingers to rescue the people who were squeezed in the ruins.
Against the torrential rain and torrents, they would rather struggle in the cold swirls and use up the last bit of their strength to lift the children above their heads and send them to the temporary safe highlands.
They did not flinch at all when faced with the scorching magma. Even when the volcanic ash covered them, they subconsciously hugged their loved ones in their arms and used their bodies as the last defense line.
"How much ugliness is hidden deep inside human nature equals how much beauty is hidden at the same time," the Earth's will said. "Only an upheaval such as the apocalypse can prompt everybody to unleash all their vitality so that the most ugliness and the most beauty will leave obvious traces on the grand universe.
"I believe that such traces are the true meaning of a civilization. Only after thousands of reincarnations, thousands of apocalypses, and thousands of explosions of life potential can the full picture of 'human beings' be depicted and help me pursue answers of a higher level."
"What answers?"
The Red Pole Star mumbled. "What is your ultimate purpose exactly?"
"My purpose is your purpose. You and I are one in the first place. Even if we are 'out of control clones', there is still subtle resonance between us. Otherwise, I wouldn't have sensed your existence the moment you transmigrated back to Earth," the Earth's will said.
"Who am I, where am I from, and where am I going? Aren't they the answers that any intelligent creature will be searching for after they develop to the highest level?
"For me, if I can control most of the materials in the three-dimensional universe at will and create Earths and infinite reincarnations like programming, how can I be sure that I do not exist in a certain 'sandbox game' of a higher level and that I was not created by a certain more advanced being?
"No. When I first tried to manipulate materials and create a brand-new Earth with reference to my incomplete, mottled, and twisted memories, I realized that I was no different from the tiny 'bacteria' living on the surface of the mud ball that I created. We are all creations of a certain more advanced being and are under the observation, interference, and even manipulation of the more advanced being. We are both angry about our fate and want to fight the rules that constrain us to the end.
"One grain of sand, one world. Sand is the world, atoms are the universe, clones are the original self, your path is my path, and your answer is my answer. You are a Cultivator, and so am I. We are in fact the same.
"Forget it. Even I find myself hilarious after telling you so many things that you cannot understand at all. Perhaps it is because the feeling of omniscience and omnipotence is too … lonely. It is so lonely that I have begun to like the feeling of being projected into someone else's body and being born as a human being.
"If there is another being similar to 'Earth's will', they will certainly be amused when they see me right now. It is like a drunk man trying to talk about life philosophy with the bacteria in his body.
"Let's end the boring conversation and the boring war. In both the level of Earth and the level of the grand universe, the war has dragged on for too long. There shouldn't be any more interesting information to be found.
"Huh?
"How interesting. Why do the super computers in your command room, despite their powerful performance and complicated architecture, do not store any of their own information, including the content on how to manipulate the 'Invincible Thunderbolt Super Brainwave Magnification System'?
"Also, I've always been curious. Where did you hide that guy named Zhang Daniu? Don't tell me he's really drunk and is still snoring away?
"Looks like you're still hiding a lot of secrets."
While talking, the will of earth manipulated "Li Yao"'s body to retract the silver threads that had pierced into all the computers around. Then, it opened its fingers, and hundreds of silver threads pierced into the brain of the Red Pole Star from all directions brutally!
"Ahhhhhhh!"
The Red Pole Star could not help but scream miserably, too. His soul was literally riddled with holes. Countless silver threads tied up his every cluster of nerves and every brain cell, and the silver brilliance was gnawing his soul like highly corrosive liquids, searching for the last bit of useful information.
"Tell me, tell me all your secrets. What other tricks have you played?"
