So this was the reason!

Li Yao could not help but think of a story.

It was a story that Master Bitter Cicada of the Buddha Sect had told him in the Ancient Sacred World.

Before the wisdom of the Ancient Saint World was established, when Master Bitter Cicada was traveling, he often told the common people simple and easy-to-understand stories to enlighten them.

Master Bitter Cicada told Li Yao that a long, long time ago, in the chaotic era when humanity was at its peak and even the Yungin Empire was not established, there was a very timid noble.

The noble was so timid that he shivered under the desk when he heard the thunder in the sky. In the chaotic era that was best known for its valiancy, he naturally became a joke among the nobles.

However, when the timid noble heard that his king was in trouble and needed help, he stepped forward without any hesitation despite his fear.

His family tried to stop him. They said that he could not even hold a saber or a sword. He could not even stand on a tank. How could he go to war?

Other nobles were laughing at him, too. Cowardly as he was, he would be paralyzed when he heard the drumming of two armies on a battlefield, and he would be asked to be rescued. Why was he pretending?

The noble, on the other hand, replied solemnly, “It is in my nature to be timid. It is my own business. But rescuing the king is a matter of national importance and a matter of public interest. How can I abandon my duty for personal gain?”

As a result, the timid noble did not listen to the persuasion of his family and other nobles and insisted on fighting. As a result, he lost his balance and fell off the tank. He was scared to death.

At that time, Master Ku Chan, Li Yao, and the ‘Top Ten Ancient Saints’ were talking about the background of the story. They were discussing whether or not they should help the Star Glory Federation and whether or not they could compete with the Black Wind Fleet even if they joined the chaotic war.

The ending of the story was not very satisfactory. It seemed to have nothing to do with the usual ‘courage’.

Even Li Yao could not understand the protagonist of the story at that time. Was the timid noble brave or timid? Did he deserve to die on the battlefield?

But right now, after hearing the choice of the strongest Cultivator of the Pangu Civilization hundreds of thousands of years ago, he suddenly understood why such a choice could not be made for personal gain.

As individuals, they had every reason to feel lost, scared, desperate, frustrated, and even mentally broken when faced with a force billions of times stronger.

However, other than their personal identities, they were also the commanders-in-chief, commanders-in-chief, and elite warriors of the Pangu Expeditionary Force. They had to protect the most solid barrier of the entire civilization, the sharpest sabers that the Pangu Civilization had refined over the

past hundred thousand years, and the only hope for their billions of compatriots!

There was no room for confusion, no reason for fear, and no right for desperation!

Even if he deleted his deep love for his family, even if he blocked his feelings about beauty, even if he castrated his feelings and hopes, even if he mutated himself from a human being with flesh and blood into a ruthless, indifferent, and mechanical tool to carry out orders, they all had a mission that they

had to complete. They all had to continue fighting. Even if the enemy was a schemer or a flood tide, they had to grit their teeth and persevere.

What kind of spirit was this?

Li Yao was deeply moved. Any civilization capable of charging out of the mother universe was destined to be great, glorious, and noble. Such a civilization would never be short of heroes and warriors willing to sacrifice everything for it.

“Don’t be fooled. Make sure that you don’t miss anything.

The mental devil was calmer than Li Yao. It reminded him, “Even if ‘Emotion Sealing’ is a temporary strategy that will work on the remaining soldiers of the Pangu Expeditionary Force, the temporary strategy will only last until they bring the debris of the Flood Tide Legion and the technology of

corruption back to their hometown. Then, it will be terminated, won’t it?

“But later, not only did it not stop, it even expanded. From the elites who had been to the Outland, all the individuals of the civilization were deprived of their emotions and castrated.

“It is evident that the Fuxi must’ve kept a lot of details to himself, and those details are part of its scheme. Pay attention to the details and don’t believe everything.

“Tunderstand.”

Li Yao replied, “We are not in a hurry to find out yet. Let’s wait for it to finish its story. The most brilliant lies are nine truths and one false. If it wants to fool a smart guy like Lu Qingchen, it will certainly throw out a lot of real bait!”

As he expected, Lu Qingchen was somewhat touched, too. But he soon regained his calmness and sharpness and asked, “Then?”

“After all the emotions were sealed, the remnants of the expedition army of Pangu finally regained the ability to function normally. They devoted themselves to the analysis of the ‘black technology’ and the ‘Flood Tide Legion’ day and night. Hundreds of years later, they returned to their home with

tremendous achievements.

“My predecessor, the ‘Fuxi System’, was also given a critical ‘highest task’, which was the ‘primeval logic’ that I talked about just now. It was to spend all my computational ability thinking about how to save our civilization and how to preserve it for a long time. At the most appropriate moment, we would

march out of the darkness and march into the outer domain in the most perfect form.

“on?”

Lu Qingchen was dazed for a moment. “The Pangu Civilization hasn’t given up the plan to march into the space zones?”

“Of course not.”

“Although no one could resist the fear of the space zones and the desperation brought by their own insignificance, all the fear had been sealed and deleted.

“Think about it in the ‘absolutely rational’ way. Hiding in your hometown forever will have no future. No matter how tight the black curtain is, there will be a day when it will be found and torn apart. To the left and right, you will be struggling at death’s door, waiting to be killed. Is there a difference

between ten thousand years and a hundred million years?

“Therefore, after the civilization developed to the peak, marching into outer space and exploring the multiverse was the only choice, even if the end of the choice was destruction.

“The only problem is the correct time and the perfect form.

“We must choose the most appropriate time, preferably when the ‘Flood Tide’ and the ‘Flood Tide Legion’ are far away from the universe that is wreathed in darkness. Our civilization must be developed to the maximum, too, so that all the resources and information inside the darkness can be combined

and utilized to the maximum. By then, we won’t be able to squeeze out even one extra drop of energy. When we rush out, our odds of survival will be the highest.

“Following the two paths, I started thinking for a long time about the ‘ultimate salvation’. Together with the remaining soldiers of the expedition army, we performed the ‘social surgery’ on the Pangu civilization and gradually sealed a lot of unnecessary technology and... human emotions.

“Hehe. The fox’s tail is finally out!”

Lu Qingchen sneered, “Even if what you said just now makes sense and the remaining soldiers of the Pangu Expeditionary Force have to seal their emotions in order to erase their fear and complete the mission, why should they seal the feelings of all the citizens?”

“You don’t know the social form of the Pangu civilization and the spiritual needs of the people. This is the result of the precise calculation of the ‘Fuxi System’.

Fuxi explained, “After hundreds of thousands of years of development, the civilization of the Pangu civilization has reached the peak of perfection. The citizens are no longer like human beings who can be bothered by daily necessities and attracted by entertainment. No. Such low-level stuff is far from

enough to satisfy the ordinary citizens of the Pangu civilization.

“For a hundred thousand years, the Pangu civilization existed for the purpose of ‘pushing into the multiverse’. All the citizens got rid of the vulgar interests and pondered philosophical questions such as ‘the development of civilization, the truth of the universe, and the meaning of existence’. The

expedition army was their only hope, their only pleasure, and their only answer.

“Everybody was hoping that the expedition army would bring back the news of the multiverse and tell them how to improve their civilization. If the expedition army brought back such bad news at that time, all the individuals of the civilization would collapse. At the very least, they would feel

disheartened and bored.

“Our destiny is so difficult that we need every individual to do their job dutifully and devote themselves wholeheartedly. Only by burning for a hundred thousand years or even a million years can we see a slim chance of survival.

“After decades of precise calculation and logical deduction by the ‘Fuxi System’ on the way back, I discovered that, once the truth was told to the unprepared people, the entire Pangu civilization was likely to collapse. In desperation, people were willing to do anything.

“Famine, riot, civil war.

“Blood, violence, mutual destruction.

“In the most optimistic future, people will lose the courage to march into the multiverse because of fear and desperation. They will indulge in the vulgar pleasures such as sex, entertainment, and entertainment again. They will live in ignorance for millions of years and eventually die without a cause. They

will vanish without a trace, just like the countless civilizations that appeared between the ‘black curtain makers’ and the ‘Pangu civilization’.

“Such a future is in conflict with my ‘meta-logic’, For the ultimate salvation, I will not allow such a future to happen.

“Therefore, I woke up some of the commanders of the expedition army who were hibernating and showed them the many futures that I inferred. The civil war, the collapse, and the untimely death. I pointed out to them that ‘sealing emotions’ was the only way to keep the entire civilization functioning

efficiently so that everyone could continue to work hard and contribute silently at the cost of a hundred or even a thousand generations to save the entire civilization.

“No. At that time, I didn’t want to castrate the emotions of every individual in the civilization forever. It was still a temporary strategy, except that the scale of ‘temporary’ was enlarged to hundreds of thousands of years or even millions of years.

“After millions of years, when the flood ebbs and our civilization gains the ability to travel in the multiverse, it is only natural that the emotions sealed inside our civilization are released bit by bit..
