“A million years of emotional extinction!

Lu Qingchen bellowed, “You are saying ‘temporarily’?

“A star can live for billions of years. Even a single-celled life will take billions of years to evolve into a multiple-celled life.

“Compared to the rise and fall of civilizations in the universe, ‘millions of years’ is indeed a short period of time. In my opinion, a million years and a second are not very different.

“Hehe…”

Lu Qingchen said, “The bottom line is, you are not a human being after all. This is not how human beings think.

“Lwas never a human being in the first place.

“You asked me whether or not I was a ‘strong artificial intelligence’ just now. If you are referring to ‘intelligent mechanical life forms like human beings’, then I am indeed not one of them. The concept is too narrow to explain one ten-thousandth of my real existence.

“But the experts of the Pangu Civilization should be human beings, shouldn’t they?

Lu Qingchen asked, “Did they agree to your plan, or did you deceive and force them?”

“I did not lie to them, nor did I force them to. From the beginning to the end, I only calculated, drew conclusions, and wrote plans for their reference. The final decision had to be made by them—the commanders of the fleet and the commanders of the civilization.

“However, all my plans and plans have been calculated and inferred in the most rational ways. Since they have sealed their emotions and thought in the most rational ways without any interference, why would they not agree with my plan?”

“That’s true. I was too stupid to ask such a silly question. The experts of the Pangu Civilization have castrated themselves and mutated into cold-hearted machines such as yourself. Of course, they will not object. In fact, they will think that the state of emotionlessness is not bad and should be promoted

ona large scale.

Lu Qingchen sneered, “But what about the people who stayed in their homes? Were they willing to abandon their emotions and self-awareness and turn themselves into machines for a million years?

Fuxi was silent for a long time. Then he said, “At the beginning of our return, there was no need to tell the public all the truth, especially the existence of ‘black curtain makers’ and ‘flood tides’. They were top secrets. Telling them in advance would only lead to depression, collapse of order, and social

chaos.

“The remnants of the expedition army told part of the truth and offered some trophies to raise everyone’s morale. Then, they organized a second expedition under the pretext of gathering power and resources. In the thousand years that followed, the ‘Emotional Sealing Plan’ was gradually promoted, and

naturally, everything went well.

“Sounds good, huh?”

Lu Qingchen said, “Hasn’t anybody discovered or resisted? What will you do if somebody discovers and resists?”

“Insufficient files,” Fuxi replied. “Unable to answer.”

“Is it because there is not enough information, or is it because the information is too cruel? Is it because you cannot answer, or is it because you are unwilling to answer?”

Lu Qingchen’s smile grew wider and wider. “It’s ironic when you think about it. The top experts of the expedition army sealed their emotions and froze their will in order to protect their civilization and continue their hope. They thought that it was just a temporary strategy. But after the sealing and

freezing, their thinking changed, too. They became… cruel, uncontrollable, and deeper and deeper.

“The citizens who were looking forward to the triumphant return of the ‘arriving heroes’ in their hometown did not know that it was not just a bunch of heroes who were returning from bloody battles, but also an entire fleet of devils whose faces had changed beyond recognition!

“Did you know? In my hometown, there is a saying that the boundless dark space is the deadliest poison that can corrupt any hero beyond recognition and turn a Cultivator into an Immortal Cultivator within one second.

“The bottom line is, the morality, order, and social rules on the ground are completely different from the morality, order, and social rules in the civilization of starships. The morality and order on starships that are large in number and have abundant resources are different from the morality, order, and

rules that are completely out of control when a lone starship floats into the depths of the sea of stars. When a certain someone floats in the darkness for decades on a starship that is riddled with holes and running out of resources, having to feed on the flesh and blood of his companions, and

encountering all kinds of bizarre phenomena in space, even if he is a great man, his heart will be seriously twisted, and he will become an unpardonable devil.

“It seems that the remnants of the expedition army of the Pangu Clan have been deeply corrupted and mutated into something… inhuman during their hundreds of years of expedition.

“They were the elites and the strongest of the Pangu Civilization in the first place. They gathered the best resources of the entire civilization and hid the technology of the ‘black curtain makers’ and the ‘flood tide legions’ in secret. It was as easy as pie for them to seize the supreme power of their homeland

and establish their own dictatorships. After the dictatorships were established, there would be no obstacles in their plan to seal their emotions on a large scale.

“Is this why the Pangu civilization ended up like this? What a… tragedy!”

“You don’t agree with such methods?”

“No, no, no. It’s true that I don’t agree with your original intentions, but I do agree with your methods.

Lu Qingchen chuckled. “Evolution is never a step-by-step process. It is even more impossible for evolution to be decided by the vast majority of ignorant and mediocre people. Evolution is exciting, evolution is a leap, and evolution is a reckless risk. It can only be decided by the elites at the top of a

civilization!”

“Very good—”

“Since you agree with that, I believe you will not object to the ‘civilization restart plan’.”

“A reboot?”

Lu Qingchen was greatly interested. “What is that?”

“Do you remember what I said in the beginning? The ‘little sapling’ of the Pangu Civilization grew crooked from the very beginning and missed the best development period. When we left the mother universe, it was already too mature.

“Even though we have the technology of the ‘black curtain makers’ and the ‘Tidal Tide Legion’, it is still difficult for our civilization to experience a qualitative change and make a leap forward.

“It was like a book that had been smeared to a mess and could no longer record valuable information. It was easier to paint a new book.

“On the other hand, the civilizations whose individual forms, ways of thinking, social order, and technological sequences have been solidified have reached the peak of their life cycle. It is very difficult for them to get rid of the pattern of ‘birth, death, illness, and death’. It is impossible for them to walk

towards doom.

“It was destined that the Pangu civilization would not be able to fully absorb the technology of the ‘black curtain makers’ and the ‘Tidal Tide Legion’. The obstacles and obstacles in every aspect were too great. After a long period of thorough calculation by the ‘Fuxi System’, the only solution was to

‘reestablish the civilization after the destruction’.

“I get it now. It’s like a 180-year-old Core Formation Stage Cultivator who has been practicing the Cultivation arts of our sect since he was born. His bones, veins, blood vessels, and even his soul have all been fixed. If he is asked to change his sect and practice the ultimate arts of other sects, he will not be

able to improve his capability no matter how marvelous his techniques are. He might even be mentally deranged because of the conflicts!”

Lu Qingchen said, “If the Core Formation Stage Cultivator gives birth to a son and lets his blank child inherit his experience and practice new Cultivation arts, it will be possible for him to master the techniques and break into a higher level!

“Then, what are you going to do exactly?”

“More specifically, the top priority right now is to create a new carrier for the individuals of the Pangu Civilization.

“At that time, the Pangu Civilization Alliance had thirteen species of intelligent creatures that were carbon-based. They were all different in size, and communication and social composition were extremely inconvenient. A lot of unnecessary ‘friction costs’ were added. Besides, the bodies of many species

evolved in order to adapt to the environment of their mother planet. In fact, they were no longer suitable for the development of the era of the universe.

“Therefore, a new, unified, low-energy, high-power, ever-changing, easy to maintain and upgrade, and with a strong reproductive ability became an indispensable base unit for the continued development of the Pangu Civilization.

“If we want to break out of the mother universe and fight against the flood tide, or at least the Flood Tide Legion, it is far from enough to meld the genes of thirteen carbon-based intelligent creatures. Therefore, we turned our attention to the genes of the ‘black curtain makers’, the prehistoric

civilizations.

“What?”

This time, Lu Qingchen was truly dumbfounded. “You have the genes of a ‘black curtain maker’?”

“Maybe it’s genes, maybe it’s something else. Whatever it is, the schemer left a lot of knowledge in the pivot. After a thousand years of research, we have gradually analyzed and learned everything.

Fuxi said matter-of-factly, “If the genes of thirteen carbon-based intelligent life-forms are mixed together, what kind of ‘reboot’ is that? Only with the genes of the ‘black curtain makers’ can a new, higher, faster, stronger, smarter, and braver civilization be created.

“No. In fact, it is not just the ‘black curtain makers’. Many genes of the captives of the Flood Tide Legion have been filtered and optimized into the melding sequence, too.

“You must’ve heard of ‘hybrid advantage’, haven’t you? The captives of the Flood Tide Legion are all from outer space. New possibilities that we’ve never seen before are buried in their genes. They provide countless different directions for evolution. They are very valuable.

“After we determined the general direction, we handed the mission over to the Nuwa Clan, who was talented in genetics, and named it the ‘Artificial Life Plan’.

“Now, you should understand what we created in the end, right?

“Yes.. The next generation of carriers of the genes that have melded with the genes of the ‘black curtain makers’, the captives of the Flood Tide Legion, and the thirteen native carbon-based intelligent creatures is you, human beings!
