Fang Xingjian said coldly, "You think that justice is the truth of the universe? That's simply the greatest lie in the entire multivariate universe. "
He looked at Urbien and said word by word, "The so-called justice is just a comfort zone for humans. The real universe is incomparably cruel. It requires cunning and hypocrisy to ally with one's opponents, to cruelly slaughter and exterminate other species, to greedily and coldly devour other lives. Humans will forever need to fight against their own weakness, guilt, shame, and unease. Only then can they survive in this world.
"And justice is just like laziness. It's a comfort zone that weak humans set for themselves. How happy would it be to be pure and naive? How easy would it be to trust everyone without using one's brain? How happy would it be to not have to sacrifice anyone, to not have to endure guilt, pain, and conflict?
There would be no need to kill, no need to fight, no need to endure the betrayal of friends and family, no need to argue, no quarrel, no fight, no struggle, no need to compromise. The entire world would become just and kind people. How easy would that be? How happy would it be? Without using one's brain, one could just eat and wait for death, living in peace and stability.
"But can such humans still be called humans? Is there still a need for such creatures and such a society to exist? A pig that can live on like this is simply an insult to all humans in the past.
"Urbien, justice will forever be just a comfort zone. It's like a sweet candy. It's incomparably wonderful, enough to make anyone feel at ease and relaxed. But if one blindly covets the sweetness of this candy, it will only poison the entire species to death."
Fang Xingjian looked at Urbien and said word by word, "You've set down all the rules, forbidding all actions that will cause harm. There are no conflicts, no disputes, no struggles. That is equivalent to forbidding all competition between humans.
"No battles, no killing, no competition, and no conflicts.
"What's the point of living like this? "Everyone can only live under your rules and will never be able to take a step further.
"This is because your rules don't leave a path for them to advance. You're just raising them like pigs.
Their efforts are destined to be worthless. Any research, any struggle, will not bring about any change in status, wealth, or power, because their lifetime of hard work cannot compare to a single thought of yours. "
Urbien sighed as he watched the withering humans who had almost lost their drive to advance under his protection. "You said that I've sealed their path to ascension, so I'll just give it to them again."
In an instant, the entire world changed, and a new possibility appeared in the future of Earth.
All humans were still implanted with the Thought Stamp, but this time, Urbien gave them the path to wealth and power.
As long as they worked hard according to the standards he set, they would be promoted every year based on their performance.
There was no need for scheming, no need for backstabbing, no need for any background or unspoken rules. All they could do was work hard and achieve good results under the rules set by Urbien. Only then would they be promoted.
Looking at the thriving Earth, which seemed to be bustling with activity everywhere, Fang Xingjian revealed a hint of a cold smile. "You've split out a portion of your duties and handed them over to them?"
Initially, Urbien maintained the entire Earth's operations. However, in order to provide work for humans, he split out a portion of the simplest tasks.
For example, clearing rubbish, planting crops, assembling equipment, planting greenery …
"How boring," Fang Xingjian said with a cold smile.
Although these labors were meaningless to Urbien, through such labors, everyone achieved different results. There were still differences between groups of people. Everyone's wealth and power would gradually start to differ based on their results every year.
After all, they were not clones. As long as a group of people worked together, there would naturally be a first and last place.
The distribution of wealth and power had started.
Urbien frowned. His hand slipped, and another 100 years passed.
Right now, the entire society on Earth once again became lifeless.
Fang Xingjian smiled. "Seems like you've failed again.
"You've set the rules and made them compete according to the rules. However, when everything goes according to the rules, the people who get rich first will only have more and more advantages.
"Human history has proven this point countless times. The people who get rich first will have an absolute advantage. Unless the rules are broken, it's impossible to surpass them.
"It's the same for this zoo of yours. Those who get first place in the first few years will have more power and wealth than others. Therefore, they will have more subordinates, more tools, and more resources.
"This makes it impossible for the latecomers to surpass them through regular means. The only way is to break the rules and overtake them through corners. However, this is something you're not allowed to do.
"The only way is to redistribute the wealth. In human history, this is called rebellion, but you can't do this.
"You can only keep opening up new areas of competition and new areas of work, creating many new 'people who get rich first'. However, without the adjustment of violent and bloody revolutions, the solidification of social classes is inevitable. The humans at the bottom will eventually lose hope and will never be able to rise up again.
"When the water is too clear, there will be no fish. Absolute rules will only erase the motivation for society to move forward.
"Urbien, do you still not understand? "Unless all humans are turned into you, human history will only continue to move forward in a spiral. "There's no such thing as an eternal paradise. It's because the universe we live in is cruel to begin with. "Evil and justice will always coexist. What's the difference between your absolute justice and evil? "That's just a comfort zone that you've created for yourself. Just because the actions of justice give you a comfortable feeling, just because you like justice, you think that they're right? "If you wish to create that kind of delusional country, you'll have to be able to rewrite the laws of the entire multivariate universe. "Otherwise, he'll forever be a toy in your hands and will return to his original state after leaving your existence."
Fang Xingjian slowly walked up to Urbien, looked at him, and said coldly, "Your paradise is like a spring. Right now, you've forcefully squeezed it up, but you're unable to stop it from returning to its original state."
Urbien raised his head and looked at Fang Xingjian, saying coldly, "I don't believe you."
At the next moment, the Earth before Fang Xingjian changed once again, and a new future appeared.
All sorts of new policies, new technologies, and new futures kept on appearing before Urbien. However, he was still unable to create the paradise that he wanted.
Gradually, many cracks appeared on Urbien's body.
Similar cracks appeared on Fang Xingjian's body, and he seemed to be faintly discernible like he would disappear at any moment.
However, he continued to smile. "The 13 armies' powers come from the ring's energy, and it's the same for you.
"However, the Silver Army's powers come from justice. It's true that this gives you powerful abilities, but it's also destined to be the worst foundation.
"It's because justice is a contradictory thing to begin with.
"And now, when you start to doubt your own justice, when your righteous heart is distorted, will you still be able to continue using this power?
"Urbien, your powers have been built upon nothingness from the very beginning. "He's just a flower in the mirror, a moon in the water."
