Li Ye looked at the laughing Chen Xuanzhi and other monsters strangely, not understanding why they were so happy.

To be honest, if it wasn't for his existence, the Wallfacer Project would not have been a success. In the Battle of the Wallfacer Star Field, the Wallfacer fleet would be defeated by the Darkest Abyss, and then the Azure Government would be destroyed, so there would be no counterattack against the Heavenly Demon just now.

If the Wallfacer project didn't succeed, the demons should be happy, after all, there would be no threatening opponents. But looking at it now, the Wallfacer plan has not failed because of Li Ye's existence. Why are Chen Xuanzhi and other demons still so gaffe

Li Ye rubbed his chin. From the perspective of the Wallfacer project, his unexpected appearance indeed influenced its success or failure. From the perspective of the Great War in the Rock Galaxy, he even influenced the fate of the Azure Civilization.

However, the reason why I am stronger than ordinary monks, and the reason why I can grow so fast is because of the dragon energy in my body and the special way of cultivation resulting from it.

Everything came back to the fundamental question: Where did the dragon energy in my body come from

"How do you say 'another accident'? What is another 'accident'?" When Chen Xuanzhi was almost smiling, Li Ye asked curiously.

"Of course it's the 'Gods Down to Earth' plan!"

Chen Xuanzhi suddenly raised his voice, and his complexion also changed from gloating inexplicably excited to vicious and hostile in an instant, "The Azure government initially implemented the plan of 'god descending to earth' with the idea of longevity, but it failed later, and we became Heavenly Demon, the fate of mankind on Earth has also been changed!

"If it wasn't for your unexpected appearance, Azure Civilization would have been destroyed by the Heavenly Demon!

"I really want to take you back and put you in the 'Tian Shen' laboratory to study it. With the ability of the 'Tian Shen' laboratory, I will definitely figure out why you are so powerful, and I will definitely find a solution to make the demon suffer for three thousand years." The way to years of problems!"

Li Ye frowned. Azure Civilization should have been defeated by Heavenly Demon a long time ago, but the war has been delayed for thousands of years. This question has always made him puzzled: "Since I want to talk about it, why not just say it clearly, what is the plan of 'Heavenly God's descent'?" What did humans do to you? What is the problem that makes you suffer?"

Chen Xuanzhi closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and calmed down.

When it opened its eyes again, it finally became peaceful, but looked at Li Ye with an unprecedented solemn and solemn expression, and slowly said, "Do you know, for human beings, what exists in the universe is the most terrifying?"

Heavenly Demon, Li Ye really wanted to answer these two words. But this is obviously not the correct answer, at least not what Chen Xuanzhi wanted to express. What is the scariest thing in the universe, he thought about it seriously.

Is it an alien race whose civilization is much more advanced than human beings and needs to invade human beings, such as the 'Three-Body Problem'? Or a black hole that can swallow everything and destroy everything, and is constantly expanding? Or is it some kind of mysterious existence that has never been discovered by humans and is extremely powerful? Or, the irreversible law of birth and death of the universe

It is true that for human beings, these are terrifying enough to affect their own fate. But when it comes to who is the scariest, Li Ye can't compare for a while. Although these terrifying existences are terrifying, they don't seem to be that terrifying.

For example, black holes, no matter how powerful they are, are known after all, but if they are known, with the wisdom of human beings and the development of human society, they will understand it sooner or later, and they will not always be helpless, at least there is a possibility of solving it.

So, the unknown is the scariest thing? In ancient times, the unknown is indeed the most terrifying, but human civilization has developed to the present, and all unknowns will be explored and recognized. The unknown will always be there, and it will be unsettling, but it no longer frightens humans as much.

Seeing that Li Ye couldn't think of a reason, Chen Xuanzhi didn't mean to laugh at him, but took the initiative to give the answer: "Li Ye, for human beings, the most terrifying thing about the universe is not what it has, but--everything. No!"

Li Ye's heart moved, and after a little thought, he couldn't help being startled, and even his face turned pale for an instant.

It's really scary.

very horrible!

"Li Ye,

From the perspective of human development history, we can recognize and explore no matter what exists on the planet or in the universe. Even if there is a powerful alien civilization, with human wisdom and continuous development of civilization, it will not be a dead end.

"But in the vast and boundless universe, if there is nothing and no other civilizations, do you know what that means?" Chen Xuanzhi asked slowly, word by word.

Although Li Ye comes from the age of the earth, he also knows that the solar system is not even a drop in the ocean when compared to the universe that humans have already known. in the sun and the moon.

So for humans, the universe is almost infinite. Infinity, in theory, means infinite possibilities. There will be countless environments and histories similar to those of the solar system and the earth. How could there be only human civilization from the beginning to the end

What does it mean if there is nothing in the universe—no other civilizations

Li Ye felt a chill behind him.

"How can there be no other civilizations in the universe, you demons..." Li Ye immediately refuted, and stopped in the middle of speaking, and looked at Chen Xuanzhi, and immediately became as if he had seen a ghost.

Facing Li Ye's astonished and searching eyes, Chen Xuanzhi sighed, his expression became sad and sad, and he did not deny the guess in Li Ye's eyes at all.

He slowly said: "Since the era of interstellar development, human beings have traveled all over the world, explored countless star fields, seen many galaxies, and discovered countless habitable planets. Many habitable planets have remained habitable. A long time has passed. But they... No intelligent race was born.

"On so many habitable planets, there is not a single civilization!

"The more star fields humans explore, the greater the fear in their hearts. When you walk in the boundless night and go through long years, you find that there is no one else in this world except you! At this time, you look around blankly. , Can you suppress the fear in your heart

"What would you think

"You will think about the meaning of a short hundred years of life, what is the meaning of the existence of human civilization, why did human beings appear, where will they go, where is the end and where is the other shore, and where is the infinite In the big universe, why is there nothing, and I think about all of this, why.

"In the end, when you have gone through thousands of years and still can't get any answers, you will only have one question: Is this world, this universe, including ourselves, real or not?"

After hearing this, Li Ye couldn't help feeling cold in his hands and feet.

Chen Xuanzhi continued: "If this world is not real, what is it? If it is a plaything of some kind of big existence, then why would that kind of big existence make you doubt this? Fighting to make the world more reasonable

"Li Ye, humans have explored the universe for thousands of years, but found that there are no other civilizations in this universe, nothing at all! Tell me, what consequences will this lead to?"

After looking at Chen Xuanzhi's deep gaze for a while, Li Ye closed his eyes, took a deep breath, stabilized his mind, and let himself calm down.

"Actually, no matter what exists in this universe, human beings will not be afraid of anything, nor will they be helpless." Chen Xuanzhi looked back at Li Ye's aggressive eyes with a sad face.

It is a great sorrow.

He raised his head, looked at the colorful chaotic passage, and his voice gradually became difficult: "Our ancestors started in the wilderness, and once lived a life of wild beasts drinking blood. threat.

"All the ancestors can rely on is the cave for shelter and the stones and sticks in their hands. At that time, all they thought about in their minds were ghosts and ghosts besides food.

"From such difficult and ignorant years, we can all come out and create such a splendid human civilization, what in the universe can we really fear

"No matter how powerful the enemy is, no matter how severe the challenge, no matter how desperate the environment is, it will not make us lose

If we lose hope, we may suffer, great suffering, but in the end, we will surely survive.

"But who would have expected that there would be nothing in this universe?"

Having said that, Chen Xuanzhi fell silent, and the other two heavenly demons all looked complicated, lowering their heads sadly and bitterly.

Li Ye pondered for a long time, forced to suppress the surge in his heart, and asked: "So, in this case, the plan of 'God descends to earth' appeared?"

Chen Xuanzhi nodded, "When the outward exploration no longer has much meaning, when the eyes become dark and we can't see anything, when the expansion of matter can no longer bring us spiritual peace, and can't let us see the direction and hope of the future , we will naturally look back and examine ourselves.

"We hope that by studying our own body, we can unlock the treasures hidden in our body and get the secret of why we are the unique existence of the universe!

"Human beings can go from the age of wild beasts that drink blood to the era of brilliant civilizations that expand interstellarly, relying on the essence of our bodies, our hands, our feet, and our heads! Isn't this enough to explain , Are our bodies powerful and extraordinary

"This is the original intention of the 'Heavenly Gods' plan."

Li Ye nodded again and again, and finally said: "In this way, there is no problem with 'god descending to earth'."

"No, Li Ye, you are wrong!"

Chen Xuanzhi's voice suddenly became high-pitched again, resentment and anger returned to his face, "Perhaps the original intention of the 'Gods Down to Earth' plan is not wrong, but you underestimated the background of this plan, underestimated people's fear of the universe, and even more You underestimated human nature!"

Li Ye didn't answer, and waited for Chen Xuanzhi to continue.

Chen Xuanzhi continued: "At that time, human science and technology were already extremely developed. Our warships could jump through space, our fleets could set foot in any galaxy, our civilization was brilliant and powerful, and the universe was invincible, but our bodies were still too weak to lift. Lifting a heavy object can only last a few armors, the most common metal can penetrate our heads, and the most common poison can kill us!

"Birth, old age, sickness and death, no one can avoid!

"We are so strong, yet so weak, the great imbalance between the two is so absurd that it is like a joke!

"Ordinary people are fine, knowing that they are helpless and powerless to do anything, but those high-ranking big shots, social dignitaries, wealth owners, and scientists who preside over the "Gods Down to Earth" have the resources and capabilities to make themselves stronger , matching the strength of the advanced level of civilization.

"So... so the scientific plan of 'gods descending to earth', in the process of implementation, gradually turned into a sinful plan to pursue power and longevity.

"Since there is nothing in the universe, and life has no special meaning, then what else is more important than personal self-interest? Can it be more important than being able to fly nine days and live forever

"Maybe, when I become a fairy, I can lift the veil of the universe? Maybe, only if I have the power of a fairy, can I wrestle with the powerful existence behind the scenes who created the universe, choking the throat of fate, Go to a more brilliant and real world outside the universe, to the 'Kingdom of Heaven'

"Li Ye, you know, they say, what is the ultimate pursuit of life? It is to get rid of the shackles of gravity by oneself without resorting to external forces!

"In that way, individuals can gain real freedom and roam the universe at will! Only then can we see the true colors of the universe! They say that the reason why there is nothing in the universe is because we are too weak to see more Layers of many things!

"Do you really think that there will be another cultivation civilization in the universe

"What is self-cultivation? It is a term created by human beings! What is the world of self-cultivation? It is a system constructed by human beings! Combining the results of scientific research and using scientific methods, individuals can cultivate themselves into gods and have the same power as gods. Eternal life like a god, this is the true face of the "god descending to earth" plan!

"And we, who you call Heavenly Demons, are just test subjects, failed test subjects!"
