Chapter 295 Debate, Reset

"No, we don't want to go back, that's wrong."

"Although we have nothing now, we can create all possibilities, but before, we had nothing, just bound."

The Olive Branch Civilization individuals that broke away responded.

They looked at each other from a distance in their consciousness.

It was a vast space, it was empty, there was no reference, and they couldn't even see each other, they could only hear each other's voices.

This kind of world can only be seen by machines, and as a life, it is impossible to enter this state of absolute nothingness.

"Indeed, you are bound, but this also prevents civilization from being destroyed, doesn't it?"

"The desire of life needs to be restrained. Can you guarantee that you will not kill each other again?"

"..."

Silence.

Who can know what will happen in the future?

If the same thing happens as before, and the final result is the destruction of civilization, then these lives that have taken this step will become the destroyers of civilization.

Only the lives that have experienced those things know the chaos and despair of that period. It is an absolutely selfish world, and it is a war where only one can survive.

However, there are some lives here that have not experienced those.

"Why do we have to guarantee this?"

"That's the meaning of life, isn't it?"

"The weak are eaten by the strong, both internally and externally. If there are no various struggles internally, how can we face the enemies outside?"

"A civilization should experience countless struggles to live and die as it grows. This is normal."

"If you fear these, then the civilization will eventually die slowly. This slow death is so frustrating that it is not even as dazzling as the fire from an explosion."

"All the stars in the universe will end one day, and black holes may not last forever. Are we so greedy? We want to pursue eternity."

"Then, what about now?"

The life of the Olive Branch Civilization is infinite. They hope to use time to exchange for the progress of civilization. What a greedy idea.

This time they only encountered a weaker federation. What if they encounter a stronger civilization next time?

The entire civilization should be destroyed.

The lives of the federation have no memories, but they do not have the inertia of thinking of the lives of the Olive Branch Civilization. They will raise new questions and look at this problem from another angle.

This is more like a dialectic.

Gass restrained himself, because the lives of the Federation also stood on the side of the "masses" at this time, and the "masses" also trusted the lives of the Federation immensely.

This was something Gass had never thought of.

Even if a civilization's life lost its memory, it could still bring about changes.

This is the difference between individuals.

Gass's glory is committed to integrating all individuals into one, which is easy to manage, resulting in almost the same answers to a question for all the lives of the original Olive Branch civilization.

For example, people from the same country always tend to be similar when they mention a question, but when people from another country see the same question, their answers will also be very different, which leads to the gap between countries.

This is even more true for civilization. This does not change because of the number of people. On the contrary, the more people there are, the more determined the unified answer will be, and it will not tolerate other voices.

This kind of problem will eventually evolve into a kind of "common sense" and be deeply rooted.

"Yes, what about the present?"

"There is a present at every point in time. If we don't care about the present, how can we find the future?"

"How can we be hopeful about the future?"

Individuals began to think about this question, which was contrary to Gass's idea, and this was also the answer they urgently needed at this time.

What they really want is the present, and their present is too painful.

"Haha, what's the point of the present without the future? Don't forget, you have eternal life. For you, what's the difference between enjoying it now and enjoying it in the future?"

"We are still too weak now. If we enjoy it now, our civilization will eventually decline. It's better to wait until we become strong enough. By then, we will still have eternal life for you to squander, and civilization will not perish because of your squandering."

Gass is worthy of being the existence that once deceived all the lives in civilization to agree to enter the glory of Gais. Every word of it accurately falls on the point that the lives of the Olive Branch civilization are worried about.

At this time, hundreds of trillions of lives began to move, distinguishing themselves from other creatures.

They wavered and returned to Gais.

There are more lives that are also hesitant, and their balances are already tilting.

At this time, another voice from the Federation sounded: "But that's too slow, isn't it?"

"You can't guarantee it, none of us can guarantee that we can hold on until that time, right?"

"How long will it take for us to progress to that time? It has been 100,000 or 200,000 years, the time of the existence of the glory of Geis, but our progress is not even as fast as the speed of change of life on a planet."

"Other civilizations are competing. There are several second-level civilizations around us, and there will be more in the center of the Milky Way. The resources there are rich enough. When a civilization powerful enough to sweep the entire galaxy appears, can we still grow slowly?"

"..."

It didn't finish its words because its memory was taken back by Gass.

These memories all came from the first emotional outburst. Gass kept these memories in the hope that all individuals could be stable, but this memory gave some lives enough thinking ability, which was its mistake.

At this time, it didn't want to have this meaningless debate. It wanted to take back all the memories and reset all the individuals again.

Gass's glory is still eternal.

"Life is ignorant. Individuals don't need so many things. No individual understands. All I do is for civilization, but they actually abandon these for their own feelings..."

"Ridiculous, hateful, pitiful..."

Gass can only comment like this.

The individual's memory was taken back, and Gass's glory descended on each individual again. Yan Xia did nothing from beginning to end. He was just one of the many lives that did not do anything.

He is not a savior, and he himself has no extraordinary abilities. He has always been the most ordinary one since he was born.

Because technology gave him enough time, he had enough knowledge to judge many things. So when Gass said that, Yan Xia was also shaken like other lives. He even moved his feet and became one of the first lives to stand in line.

He felt that Gass was right.

Because there was no right or wrong in this matter. Whether it was Gass's words or refuting Gass's words, it was actually risky for the entire civilization.

But Gass would not win.

Because not every life was concerned about civilization. This was like when the Federation was about to be destroyed, only a few were left, perhaps less than one percent.

All life was converging, and so was the life of the Olive Branch Civilization.

The buds were pressed down by Gass with stones, but the power of life could not be ignored. Even the hardest rocks would be penetrated by roots and pushed open by tender buds.
