Chapter 264: Destruction is inevitable (Subscription required)

In Lu Jing's previous life, many top bosses had raised questions:

Do aliens exist in this world?

If so, why haven't they found us?
Although this question seems simple, it even has a bit of childish strangeness.

But if you dig deeper, it's terrifying.

In previous lives, on the scale observable by humans, the universe was already vast beyond human imagination. There were countless galaxies as large as the Milky Way alone, and the star systems within them were as numerous as sand in the sea.

Even if the probability is one in a billion, on such a large observation scale and over such a long time span, why is there no civilization powerful enough to conquer the entire river system?

Why does the universe observed by humans...

Is it so dead silent?

Because of this conjecture, the scientific community has put forward many conjectures.

Cosmic filter theory.

The human captivity hypothesis.

Dark forest theory.

Deep Space Prisoner Doctrine.

Gaia bottleneck theory.

These hypotheses are all dedicated to finding a direction that can be self-consistent, thus pointing the way for human exploration of deep space.

But among all the hypotheses, only two theories seem to hold water.

One is the Dark Forest Theory.

Another is the human captivity hypothesis.

The Dark Forest Theory is based on two axioms.

1. Survival is the first need of civilization.

2. Civilization continues to grow and expand, but the total amount of matter in the universe remains the same.

And two fundamental changes.

1. Chain of suspicion.

2. Technological explosion.

Based on the above four conditions, it is easy to come up with a thrilling theory.

The universe is a huge dark forest, and every civilization is a hunter with a gun. When a civilization discovers another civilization in the dark, based on the above four conditions, it will inevitably launch a decisive and destructive attack on the other civilization.

In order to ensure their own survival resources in the universe.

But ever since Lu Jingzheng achieved supreme supernatural powers and attained supreme great strength, he had overturned this theory in his heart.

There is no shortage of resources in the universe that civilization needs to survive.

When a civilization is powerful enough to travel between stars, it will have the ability to transform planets.

Without such ability, he is not a hunter, let alone a hunter with a gun.

It’s just that the villagers at the entrance of the village are more suspicious and are always afraid that others will seize their one-third acre of land.

But outside their village, there are actually resources far beyond that villager's imagination.

Moreover, the universe is not as lively as imagined.

Therefore, Lu Jing felt that the Earth in his previous life was like an experimental subject being kept in captivity for observation.

When you find that you are the only fish in the water and the water is clean, you should realize...you are in a fish tank.

Sometimes Lu Jing would wonder if this had anything to do with his own time travel and the experience panel on his body?
But he received too little counseling.

No way to judge.

On the contrary, it was the cosmic ecology of this world that surprised and curious Lu Jing.

Said before.

The universe is so vast that there is no shortage of resources for civilization to survive.

So, why are those alien races eyeing this world covetously?
Are you willing to spend a long time to infiltrate this world and then plunder it?

The reason is actually very simple.

This is a question of the survival evolution route.

Those masters of various alien races who came to this world to plunder the spiritual laws chose a path that combined great power in one person.

This is also the direction that most civilizations will eventually evolve in after the emergence of supernatural powers, because survival is not only the first need of civilization.

It is the first need of individuals.

The pursuit of longevity and immortality is ingrained in all living things.

Now another situation arises, that is, the immortals... If individuals can be immortal, then is there any need for civilization to exist?
Judging from what Lu Jing has observed so far in this world and beyond, civilization has no need to exist for immortals.

Because for the immortals—

The individual is civilization.

However, the immortals have become powerful resource consumers in this world.

Moreover, unlike the resource-consuming entities in the previous Earth civilization's cognition, the materials needed by the immortals to nourish themselves are not just simple things like matter and energy.

Spiritual charm and the Tao are what they depend on for survival.

In this vast universe, matter and energy transform into each other under certain conditions.

Even those who are immortal can transform the two at will through their own great power.

But what is consumed by the long time is not just their material and energy.

They need to replenish their spiritual energy and Taoist principles to slow down their aging.

This is what is called the "Five Deteriorations of Heavenly Beings."

So what is the spiritual rhythm of Taoism?
To put it simply, it is the underlying rules that naturally arise in the universe, and energy and matter evolve in accordance with them.

And this kind of thing is rare even in the vast universe.

That's why those alien races are eyeing this world with covetous eyes.

They even teach methods of transcendence, allowing the natural gods of this world to jump out of the shackles of this world and join them in sharing the food.

This is why there are so many gaps and damages in this world.

What is this like?

The children that I raised with great effort did not think about contributing to the family and making the family more prosperous when they grew up. Instead, under the instigation of outsiders, they thought about dividing the family and wanted to empty their parents' assets.

So, once you are separated from your family, will those people who instigated you let you go?

will not.

Therefore, those innate gods who thought they were transcendent in the past are probably already in danger.

But since there exist absolutely immortal beings in the vast universe who possess immense power, are there any civilizations in this vast universe that are taking a completely different path?

there must be!
In the Confucian Temple in the capital of Zhongzhou, Lu Jing's mind was surging. He was in contact with the emperors from outer space and was presenting his thoughts to the saints of the human race and the demons.

Di Yingzheng frowned and said, "So, you want to seek help from the vast universe?"

Lu Jing said: "That's right."

"Although our plan has been implemented smoothly so far, the alien races must have noticed it. We have to be on guard. If we can find allies in the vast universe, our pressure will be much less."

As his mind vibrated and he spoke, Lu Jing raised his head and stared at the figures floating in the Confucian Temple. He said firmly, "After a tug-of-war with the alien races until now, I don't believe that you haven't planted spies into the camps of the alien races."

"Do you know anything?"

Being questioned by Lu Jing.

The figures floating in the Confucian Temple suddenly fell silent.

There was deathly silence in the Confucian Temple.

But those tall and majestic figures seemed more vivid than usual. They were shielding Lu Jing from the outside and communicating in secret.

After a full quarter of an hour, Di Yingzheng said in a majestic and indifferent voice: "You guessed right."

The alien races do have enemies.

Di Yingzheng poured cold water on them, saying, "But the problem is that we are too weak to be worthy of forming an alliance with them."

"In fact, in the eyes of the enemies from outer space, the destruction of our world has already been a foregone conclusion."

Lu Jing nodded: "I understand."

"They will only help us if we win."

Di Yingzheng nodded: "That's right. Although we have been working hard to defend, the power of this world has been slipping away. We don't have much time... Actually."

Lu Jing: "Then kill an immortal first!"
