Xue Xiling once opposed Gu Ran, who had become the de facto ruler of Canglong City, but Gu Ran did not respond, as if he treated Xue Xiling as a stranger with whom he had never had any disputes.
Thinking of this, everyone felt more relieved.
But no one noticed the complexity that quickly flashed across Xue Xiling's eyes when she looked at Gu Ran in the "Ark Core".
Compared to the simple girl who was protected by her father and only devoted herself to research, Xue Xiling has indeed grown a lot now.
At this moment, the originally silent light screen suddenly regained its sound, which immediately attracted everyone's attention.
... ...
In the light screen.
"You have studied evil spirits, so do you know how to quickly eliminate them in large numbers?" Gu Ran asked immediately.
The First President said: "You want to save Canglong City from the current crisis? There is indeed a way, but you may not be able to do it."
Now the most destructive thing in Canglong City is not other star stone species, but evil demons.
Waiting for one more minute can result in a lot more casualties.
Gu Ran asked in a deep voice: "What method? Tell me first, then I can evaluate it."
"Kill all those whose consciousness has been invaded by the evil spirits, and then erase the memories of all those who have seen the evil spirits." The "First President" did not keep anyone in suspense.
"What?!" Gu Ran's pupils shrank slightly, "Kill all the people whose sea of consciousness has been invaded by the evil spirits?"
"Why? Is there really no other way?"
The "First President" looked at Gu Ran and said, "Do you think that these alien species in Canglong City are the crisis you will face next? No, although these alien species will cause great losses to Canglong City, they will not completely destroy Canglong City.
"The real crisis of Canglong City has not passed. I just said that you killed Xue Yingsong, but you did not close the 'gate' for the alien species to descend! Only when you close the 'gate' for the alien species to descend can you temporarily overcome the crisis!"
"Will the alien species still come?" Gu Ran understood what the "First President" meant. He immediately stared at him and asked, "Can your method completely stop the alien species from coming? Why are you so sure?"
The First President said calmly, "Whatever you think, you will be sensed. The alien species outside the star are led by the evil demons, and the evil demons can sense all intelligent life that knows them and determine their direction."
276. The reason for the emergence of evil spirits! The "relics" that Xue Yingsong left for Gu Ran!
"So for the demons, the very act of humans recognizing them is setting a direction for them in the vast outer space."
"The best way to deal with strange creatures like demons is to reduce human knowledge of them, or even completely eliminate them, because they can never be killed or destroyed. However, if they want to descend into the human world, they must go through a process."
"The process is that they determine the direction of humans in the extraterrestrial space, and then fly towards the human world. If they cannot determine the direction of humans, the extraterrestrial species will naturally not descend on such a large scale like this."
Gu Ran thought for a moment and asked, "If we completely eliminate human knowledge of evil spirits, then wouldn't we be able to prevent alien species from coming to our planet forever? But you haven't done it. Or, in other words, for so long, no one has been able to completely prevent alien species from coming to our planet. What is the key point here?"
The First President nodded to Gu Ran and said appreciatively, "You are right. There are indeed reasons why the evil crisis cannot be completely eliminated. This method can only temporarily treat the symptoms, not the root cause. However, what you urgently need now is also a temporary solution.
"Because if you can't solve this problem immediately, the next wave of alien species will arrive soon. By that time, will Canglong City still be able to resist
"The reason why the problem of alien species coming from outer space has not been solved for thousands of years is that they are impossible to kill completely. They are part of the rules of this world, so how can they be completely eliminated? Even if one batch is killed, another batch will soon be generated.
"To be specific, the source of evil spirits is actually the evil thoughts in the hearts of various intelligent creatures. It took me a long time to figure this out. Including humans, sea creatures, and demons in the abyss, as long as they are intelligent creatures, they will basically have various evil thoughts in their hearts. As long as the evil thoughts continue, the evil spirits will continue.
"Another difficulty is to completely eliminate the knowledge of evil spirits in human minds, because this is simply impossible."
At this point, the “first president” sighed.
"In the previous civilization, there was actually a period of religious proliferation. At that time, various religions were prevalent among humans, which naturally included some evil cults. Many of their religious rituals would allow the parties involved to sense the evil spirits in the extraterrestrial space."
"Then the evil demons will bewitch the humans who sense them and let them spread their names. As more and more humans become aware of them, they will not only leave a large amount of data and information, allowing more people to recognize them, but also accelerate their arrival. This is the initial reason why the evil demons were recognized by humans."
Gu Ran said: "There was a period of time when religion was popular? A large number of evil religions accelerated the arrival of alien species? But in this era... there is no soil for religion to survive. Oh no, it should be said that the historical records of this civilization have never recorded any religion with a relatively large influence. Could it be that..."
The "First President" smiled and said, "It seems that you have already thought of it. Yes, it is true that the destined person has carried out the extermination of religion. In fact, in the previous civilization, religion had already declined after the devastating blow. But there are still some remnants that remain to this day.
"It is difficult to completely ban this, unless your telekinesis can cover the entire Human Alliance. Then you may be able to detect those hidden cults, or those evil books that record their religious rituals, or even books that record evil spirits. Then you can destroy all the related information carriers and kill all the related people."
Gu Ran pondered for a moment and shook his head: "Even so, it is impossible to completely eliminate the disaster of alien species coming from outside the star. You have just said that any evil thoughts generated by intelligent creatures can produce evil demons.
"Then will all intelligent creatures' knowledge of the evil spirits also serve as a direction to attract the evil spirits? Therefore, unless all relevant information carriers and intelligent creatures in all realms are eliminated, the disaster of the arrival of extraterrestrial alien species can be completely resolved."
After hesitating for a moment, Gu Ran continued, "But this... is totally impossible - this is what you want to say."
No matter how powerful the destined person is, he is still a human being, and such a huge "project" is indeed impossible to complete.
If one can even do something like this, then there is no difference between him and a real "God".
So from this perspective, it is indeed impossible to completely eliminate the evil spirits.
The disaster caused by extraterrestrial alien species will happen sooner or later.
All they can do is just a temporary solution.
The "First President" looked at Canglong City, as if taking a last look.
"That's right. The arrival of alien species from outer space is a kind of world-destroying natural disaster. In fact, even if we can really eliminate the disaster caused by the arrival of alien species from outer space, the rules of the world will generate another world-destroying natural disaster. Only by truly finding and eliminating the factors that cause the world-destroying natural disaster can we achieve eternity and win."
"Okay, I don't have much time left, and you definitely don't want to waste any more time, so quickly use your previous method to obtain the highest authority of this 'Ark Core', and then you may be able to go find something that Xue Yingsong left for you. In the remaining time... I want to take a good look at this Canglong City. Finally... I wish you good luck."
Gu Ran saw that the "body" of the "first president" had become much more illusory, as if the words just now had shortened his "lifespan" a lot.
What did Xue Yingsong leave for me
Gu Ran bit his finger and dripped blood onto the "Ark Core" while thinking about what Xue Yingsong would leave for him.
After shedding the blood and obtaining the highest authority of the "Ark Core", the "First President" retreated again.
Then this "Ark Core" left Gu Ran and flew towards other places in Canglong City.
Gu Ran no longer cared about this "Ark Core" because after obtaining the highest authority, this "Ark Core" was connected to him no matter where it was, and he could control it freely.
After thinking for a while, Gu Ran quickly came to Xue Yingsong's comprehensive research room.
If Xue Yingsong really left him something, it could only be here.
With a scan of his telekinesis, Gu Ran quickly discovered that Xue Yingsong seemed to have really left him a "relic".
277. The appearance of “Tyrant” Gu Ran!
Gu Ran was very familiar with Xue Yingsong's comprehensive research laboratory, so he knew what was new with just a scan with his telekinesis.
Insert the memory chip that seemed to be placed randomly on the table into the playback device next to it. After a while, the device projected the image onto the screen opposite.
The person who appeared in the picture was indeed Xue Yingsong.
"Since you have seen this video I left behind, it means I lost."
Xue Yingsong's expression did not show any frustration, but instead there was a hint of a smile.
"I know you, Gu Ran. If you win, I won't have the chance to leave a last word. So I can only leave a 'last word' after my failure."
"Although I think you should be able to think of coming back here, I'm not sure when you will come back, so this memory chip will be automatically destroyed after today. After all, if it is later than today, then this memory chip will be of no use."
"I am very relieved and happy that you were able to see this scene before the memory chip was automatically destroyed."
When he said this, Xue Yingsong's expression became a little more serious.
"You must be worried about the alien species in Canglong City. I can tell you the solution."
Gu Ran’s eyes fixed.
"Since you were able to defeat me, it means that you are strong enough to deal with the common alien species in Canglong City. The most difficult ones to deal with are the evil demons living in human bodies."
Gu Ran nodded slightly. With the "Sword in the Stone" in his possession, even he alone was enough to destroy all the ordinary extraterrestrial species in Canglong City.
Only evil spirits cannot be eliminated by external forces.
"But the evil demons in Canglong City are still not the biggest crisis. The real crisis is not over yet. It comes from outside the stars."
"Although I should be dead now, the arrival of the alien species will not end because of this. If you want to stop the alien species from coming, there is only one way, and that is to eliminate all the people in Canglong City who recognize the evil spirits except you."
Gu Ran's heart sank. He already knew this from the "First President" before, but the method Xue Yingsong mentioned still surprised him.
"Yes, it's just as you thought. Kill all the people whose sea of consciousness has been invaded by evil spirits, so that the evil spirits have no place to stay, and then destroy these evil spirits."
"I know you may not be able to bear it, but you should be able to understand that doing this is to protect more people who have not yet been harmed."
"Of course, if you do this, you will definitely be misunderstood by others. They will think you are the evil person who killed their relatives and friends."
... ...
Everyone outside the light screen was stunned.
Could this be the reason why Gu Ran launched a "massacre" on Canglong City
For a moment, they were unwilling to believe this speculation, and even more unwilling to overturn their original ideas.
But for now, no one spoke up and everyone just watched quietly.
... ...
Xue Yingsong in the picture paused for a moment before continuing.
"I'm not trying to destroy your reputation. Since you've defeated me, it means you are qualified to lead Canglong City according to your ideas. Not only will I not destroy your reputation in Canglong City, on the contrary, I will help you maintain it."
"Do you remember the psychic who was beside me when the ruling center dealt with Lanxin University? He will help you erase this memory from everyone in Canglong City."
Gu Ran frowned slightly, and he looked suddenly at the person who was slowly walking towards him not far away.
With an ordinary appearance and ordinary temperament, he is the kind of person who would be hard to find once thrown into a crowd.
This was indeed the psychic who was beside Xue Yingsong at the beginning.
