"This is a game..."
Sitting in a simple tent, it feels like you are in two worlds.
On one side was Anduin, who was chirping and excitedly discussing the future in a low voice. On the other side was Lin An, who was a little vacant and absent-minded, looking outside the tent hole and looking at the sky.
Under the nervous and curious gazes of Anduin and others, they did not know that Lin An, who seemed dazed in their eyes, was currently thinking about the fate of all mankind. Thinking about the future that the top experts in countless civilizations in the universe have all thought about at some point.
Why? Why is this happening?
"The three-party game concerns everyone."
Lin An murmured softly.
Mingming is sitting in a simple tent, staying in the most inconspicuous gathering place on the planet, surrounded by sewage. Beneath him is a decorated black rag, and at his feet are messy abandoned gravels.
But at this time, he seemed to be sitting on a throne, overlooking thousands of years of human history from another perspective.
One fragment, one glance, and billions of pain, blood and tears passed by.
"The rise and fall of human civilization, the reincarnation of dynasties, the rise of races, the reproduction of living things, single cells and multi-cells, and then the diverse structures and evolution of life..."
"In fact, this is not a microcosm of the doomsday."
"Doomsday games only amplify the difficulty and bring all disasters and deaths to the extreme..."
"The rise and fall of human dynasties, taking China as an example... almost takes three hundred years."
"No matter how powerful the empire is, no matter how many emperors and heroes appear, and how many loyal ministers and righteous men work hard to repair the empire, they will eventually perish in chaos."
"The most critical issues are class consolidation and land (resource) annexation."
"To put it another way, if the human empire and dynasty are also a kind of life, then these two issues are the doomsday crisis it faces, a matter of life and death."
"However, after reincarnation after reincarnation, for thousands of years, almost no one can break this fate."
"Why?"
With the question in mind, Lin An tried to give an answer.
"Is it because the empire's decision-makers do not have a long lifespan? Is it because they cannot always implement his will? Is it because ancient emperors also grew old, sick and died, and did not have strong power to correct the empire's mistakes?"
"Is it because the top and bottom are not of the same mind, even if they know that continuing the empire will not solve the problem?"
"No..."
"Parliamentary systems also fail, and democracy is ineffective and stupid."
"Even in modern society, everyone from children to leaders knows that class solidification and resource distribution problems will lead to huge crises, but everyone is waiting numbly to die."
"So is it because the individual's quality is not high enough?"
"Is it because the frog is boiled in warm water and everyone only cares about the present? Is it because individuals are selfish and there is no real unity?"
"No..."
"In the harshest ecological environment of the early Earth, those anaerobic bacteria did not compete for power. They just followed the instinct of life and continued to reproduce and survive."
"If the early harsh environment is compared to a catastrophe, then every individual in the anaerobic bacteria is actually equivalent to a powerful awakener."
"Native humans are actually enhanced versions of anaerobic bacteria. They even have stronger information communication capabilities and the ability to share thoughts."
"But they (they) still can't stop the apocalypse."
"so.."
"so.."
Eyes reveal memories.
Lin An stared blankly at the sunset above his head, which was about to set. The golden-red light shone through the small opening in the tent and fell on his face.
Long An, native human beings, alienated people, Celestial Eye people, the amoeba world, the earth...the first ascetic...
At this moment, a large amount of memories and information were like the starry sky gradually lighting up, quickly connecting into a galaxy in his mind.
After a moment, a flash of enlightenment flashed in Lin An's eyes.
He seemed to have grasped the tail of the problem and pointed it in the right direction.
"The perfect man and civilization are not separate entities."
"If civilization as a whole is like a person without eyes, a walking zombie without a brain, the height of the collective is dragged down by the whole."
"The perfect one, then, is the eye, the brain of a civilized being."
"The height and thoughts of the perfect person determine how far civilization can go and whether it can find the right path in the apocalypse."
“And the degree of cooperation among civilizations determines whether we can take that step.”
Lin An has always felt that he is actually separated from human civilization.
He is so powerful, he has ultimate combat power that surpasses all humans.
Especially as time went by, he became stronger and stronger, so much so that in the life-and-death battle with alien civilization, he even just wanted to face it alone.
And after destroying the alien civilization and destroying the planet.
Lin An even had an illusion.
It is enough that the individual is strong enough.
Just like the planet devourer encountered by the Tianmu people.
As long as I am strong enough, I can go further.
But, is this really the case?
Lin An subconsciously lowered his head and glanced at his hands.
Weakness, weakness, trembling...
He will definitely encounter a being stronger than himself, and he will definitely encounter all kinds of unimaginable crises. He will definitely be injured again one day or at a certain moment, or he will be in a desperate situation.
Who will save him?
"If there's no one here when I come back to Earth, then I'm already dead..."
"When one day I fight the doomsday alone and am seriously injured and dying in the battle, can I survive in the dark universe?"
"Can I not make a single mistake, not need a single partner, not need a single back-up?"
Ask yourself in a low voice.
Lin An believes that perhaps if individuals are strengthened to the extreme and one person becomes a civilization, this path may exist, and it may be feasible.
But does he really want to see that kind of world?
There is nothing wrong with a strong civilization and a strong collective as its backing.
What was wrong was that the civilizations he saw all made fatal mistakes.
"Perfect people have powerful talents and combat capabilities that exceed those of civilized individuals, but this does not mean that perfect people have such a high mental level."
"The early perfect person could rise up in the early chaos, but at that time, the population had almost dropped to the most dangerous moment."
"But does he realize that no more people can die?"
"Is he really not going to lose himself in power?"
Lin An slowly clenched his fists, his arms shaking slightly due to damaged muscles.
"No, take myself as an example. Even I am lost, even I am constantly killing my own kind, whether forced or intentionally."
The emergence of perfect people in the early stage means that the civilization is weak, but the end of the world is extremely difficult.
Under such conditions, if a newly born perfect person wants to become stronger, his optimal solution must be to fight for resources and gain strength by killing his own kind.
It’s easy to think about how the early perfecters could have such a “healthy” mentality.
He will not realize that he is the savior, and it will be difficult for him to realize what he is going to do. Even more difficult is how to examine this doomsday trap from a sufficient height.
Lin An asked himself, let alone saving humanity, in his early days, if he didn't oppose humanity, he would be considered kind-hearted.
Not only that, even the early perfecters are true leaders, possessing unparalleled intelligence and perseverance, and have realized this huge trap early.
So, does he have power?
No.
Even if he stood up and tried his best to stop everyone from killing each other, he still couldn't integrate all mankind.
By the time he is able to do it, he will most likely have lost his best opportunity.
After a simple deduction, Lin An had to admit that this was too difficult...
Heroes are not understood.
Being one step ahead is genius, being ten thousand steps ahead is a sin that scares everyone!
Lin An could almost imagine what it would be like if they tried to integrate civilization in the early stages.
Obviously I can live a good life, but I have to face countless incomprehensible eyes, be regarded as a dictatorial tyrant, be suspected, doubted, and even framed!
You have to work hard to become stronger while not sucking too much blood.
To be honest, Lin An had already experienced this when he established the Long'an base.
He knew very well that just because he violently integrated a small academy, there were too many people who hated him and regarded him as an enemy. This is still the case when he, Lin An, has not "eaten" Long An's resources.
In the trial, he consumed most of the resources by himself, even if it was his own ability in many cases, he deserved it. But at least 80% of the awakened people around the world want him to die!
Even in China, a large number of voices jumped out against him, thinking that he was a devil.
"If I want to grow this far on Earth, there is no doubt that humans will hate me to the core."
"I will definitely kill a lot of people. I will definitely consume a lot of resources in order to reach a higher level."
"Even if I still have the heart to protect someone, the most I can do is protect the people around me."
"If others hate me, I will naturally kill them all."
