From the Three-Body Escape to Super God

Chapter 230 Civilization is just an accident

Zhang Heng agrees with Nirag's point that most life in the universe is mediocre.

If life is a miracle in the universe, then the evolution of life to the stage of civilization is a miracle among miracles.

As Nirag said, primitive life wants to evolve and develop to a stage that can be considered civilized through its own efforts.

That probability is indeed too low to be calculated...

Not to mention far away, let’s just talk about the Earth that Zhang Heng is familiar with.

Ordovician extinction, Devonian extinction, Permian extinction, Triassic extinction, Cretaceous extinction or dinosaur extinction, etc...

During these mass extinction events, many small organisms became extinct due to various factors.

The above shows how many biological extinctions must have occurred before human civilization emerged?

Therefore, saying that most lives are mediocre is not only not wrong at all, it can even be considered an overestimation of the group called "life"!
It is by no means inevitable that life can evolve to the civilized stage.

Just as General Chang Weisi of the Three-Body Universe said; yes, the entire human history is also accidental. From the Stone Age to today, there have been no major changes. We are so lucky!
However, it is difficult for most life forms in the universe to encounter such coincidences. If there is no so-called "encounter" as Nirager said, they will eventually return to dust.

Intelligence dissipates, and the original intelligent matter becomes dumb matter again.

"The philosophy of your alliance is to make it inevitable that all life forms in the universe can evolve to the civilization stage?"

After digesting the content sent by Nirag, Zhang Heng was indeed surprised by the concept of their alliance.

Isn't this just wishful thinking?

Zhang Heng’s own enlightenment work has been going on for some time, but why doesn’t he enlighten all living things?
But just to give enlightenment to some primitive life forms that he believed had the potential to develop into seeds of civilization?
Isn't it because, except for the primitive life of seeds, their intelligence is too low, that is, their wisdom is too low, and they are not much better than dumb matter.

For example, some very common plants on Earth, compared with highly intelligent creatures like humans, are they different from dumb matter?
Teaching plants to read is worse than playing the lute to a cow...

Even if they are enlightened, it is impossible for them to be enlightened successfully.

"It is to enable all life forms in the universe to evolve to the civilized stage as much as possible, Your Excellency the Enlightener."

Facing Zhang Heng's question, Nirag corrected him and continued to explain: "We don't have the ability to help and save all lives. We can only try our best to help some lives that have the potential to advance to the civilized stage."

"This will prevent them from being extinct due to various accidents during their long development cycle..."

"As for those lives that do not have the potential to develop into civilization, we are also willing to provide them with protection and assistance."

"We would be very happy if some of them could bring us unexpected and pleasant surprises."

"If they remain in a state of confusion forever, and remain in the primitive stage of life forever, we will not blame them or be disappointed..."

"Perhaps, they are meant to be this way and cannot be forced!"

"The biggest difference between us celestial beings and life forms born from planets is that we do not have the concept of gender as they do, and we do not need to mate to reproduce."

"We were born from the universe. The purpose given to us by the universe is to guide, protect, and help the life forms born from the planets."

"So, rather than saying this is our philosophy, it is better to say that when Mother Universe gave birth to our consciousness, she engraved and bestowed a meaning on us in our consciousness."

"Beyond this, our existence has no other meaning."

"The ultimate goal of everything we do is to implement this meaning." While explaining all this, Nirag's consciousness seemed to radiate a great maternal glow.

The universe is the mother of their celestial life, and in a sense, they can also be regarded as the mothers of those life forms born from planets.

And when it mentions the so-called meaning of its existence, one can see between the lines that it feels extremely satisfied.

Yes, it is very content with the status quo.

It seems that as long as there are always weak life forms born from the planet that need its protection and help, it will always be willing to stay content with the status quo.

For it, it seems that just being a good "mother" is enough!

The development of civilization and the competition are just things that it has to do in order to be a good "mother"!

It's not just Nirag who enjoys the process of doing all this, the entire alliance collectively enjoys the process of implementing their own meaning.

The meaning of their existence as celestial beings is so pure.

"Perhaps, I should pay the highest respect to you and you all!"

Zhang Heng always gives enough respect to everyone who deserves his respect.

A pure celestial life like Nirag is indeed worthy of his respect.

It is the Star-Worshipping Alliance, and it is also respecting all life in the universe, including himself...

Life is small yet great. Anyone can say this sentence directly and easily.

But, who is not self-interested and whose meaning of existence is just for the sake of other lives?

Nirag was very happy after getting the respect of the enlightener.

Happy like a billion-year-old kid.

"Respected Enlightener, I am very honored to receive your recognition. Everything we do has never been understood by other alliances. You are the only great person who recognizes our ideas besides the Star Alliance."

If we could still see its appearance clearly, it must be dancing now.

It was so happy and delighted that it did not hesitate to praise Zhang Heng with words, and directly praised Zhang Heng as a great man.

"Oh? Outside of this universe, what alliances are there that don't recognize you?"

Following Nirag's words, Zhang Heng naturally began to inquire about the information of other alliances besides the Star Alliance.

In fact, he didn't really agree with the Star Alliance's ideas. He even thought that the Star Alliance was just daydreaming.

However, even though he didn't understand, he still expressed his respect.

It’s just a matter of words anyway. You won’t lose anything by saying it, and you can also gain the other person’s favor. Why not do it?
When seeing Zhang Heng asking this, Nirag's joy suddenly disappeared and he looked very angry.

Of course, its anger was not directed at Zhang Heng.

Rather, they are the two biggest rival alliances of the Star Alliance.
