Chapter 764

The silence lasted only a short time and was broken by Joshua himself.

Under the white light of the information hall, the soldier breathed out his breath. He shook his head and said, "forget it, no matter what they do, there are always the main fighters and the main peacemakers."

If there is no contradiction and conflict between each other's ideas, they are not human beings.

So he said to himself, and suddenly he stood up. Joshua looked around the information hall. He looked at the dense information storage and laughed: "everyone's idea is not the same. It's a waste of effort for me to tangle about this kind of thing."

"Eh?"

But no. 3, who had been staying behind Joshua and was pondering over how to comfort him, blinked and froze for a moment. After a while, she stammered and said, "wait... Wait, Joshua, didn't you just look, very, very... Very angry?"

Confused and at a loss? This sentence No. 3 has been unable to say, because these two words have nothing to do with Joshua, who is calm, calm and seems to have no sense of decadence. The AI girl even doubts whether there is something wrong with her observation system, so that she can see hallucinations with her own AI.

"Angry? Of course, I'm angry. These people haven't even seen the true face of the evil god. They just fought with the black fog matrix. They started to think about the way to retreat so early. I know they are cautious and think about losing before winning. But I'm the only one among them who has seen the evil god. I don't want to run. What are they so nervous about? "

In this regard, Joshua waved his hand, and a silver wheel of light appeared behind him. Many translucent crystal fragments were flying in the wheel, and a large number of data light spots were flowing in the fragments, which connected the storage of the whole information hall like No. 3. While helping No. 3 transfer data, the soldiers walked leisurely in the hall: "but that's all, What I have to say is that I am not angry because of their prudence, but simply unhappy. "

"Not good?" No. 3 instinctively repeated a sentence, with a strong tone of inconceivable.

"No, no, why don't they believe that I can't be a saint?"

At this point, Joshua turned his mouth and snorted: "I can achieve the legendary realm from silver in a few years, and it will take me ten years to reach the level comparable to the gods. At this time, it will be at least 20 years or even decades before the invasion of evil spirits."

"At that time, I will certainly be better than the black fog matrix, or even than the ordinary evil gods. If I am lucky, it is not impossible to find the chance to become a saint - you see, you tell me that there is news about the weak evil gods? This is a very valuable clue. If I really find a trace of the realm of sages, then everything in the future is hard to say. "

"The most important thing is."

At this point, Joshua turned his head. He patted the head of No. 3 who had been stunned. The soldier said with a smile: "I'm a soldier who has seen a lot, who has faced the true face of evil gods and the shadow of sages, who has talked and laughed with gods. How can I need you to comfort me?"

"I have saved and destroyed the world. I once helped a Star River civilization defeat the empty demons that devour the stars. I once put a world that even distorted time back on the right track. Fate is just something that I can rewrite when I get up early and do push ups. It's just the invasion of evil spirits. Now it's not my character to shout" it's over. "

During the conversation, the countless data streams in the translucent crystal diffused by Joshua suddenly stopped. The soldier noticed this and said with ease: "OK, the data transmission in this hall is finished, so we can go to the next one."

"What?"

At this time, the expression of No. 3 was even more incredible. She was shocked to scan the information database and found that Joshua had indeed transferred all the data in the information hall within a few minutes. No. 3 looked at the progress bar showing "100% transmission completed" and murmured: "my transmission speed is 144 times as fast as that of the ordinary extreme mage, How could... "

"Everyone is artificial intelligence. One is bred by his parents, and the other is created by engineers and researchers. In my opinion, you are just ordinary human like me."

At this time, Joshua had already walked towards the exit of the hall. He waved to No. 3 behind him: "I still have something to do in winter castle, so I won't accompany you first... But if there is any information about sages, please let me know at any time."

"OK, OK."

3 No. 1 nodded subconsciously, then watched Joshua's figure leave the hall. After a long pause, she suddenly responded: "wait, who is human?"

And outside the hall.Joshua's smiling face quickly became calm and indifferent.

"Sages."

He stretched out his right hand, gazed at the palm of his hand, and whispered the word, the name, as if chewing the endless meaning contained in the simple two words.

"Evil spirits."

He clenched his fist, raised his eyes, and uttered the nickname in an indifferent tone. He didn't know what kind of emotion was surging in his heart.

At the end of the day, all the emotions are condensed into two words that you can't hear at all.

"Interesting."

At the end of the speech, his figure disappeared. He could see that a space crack appeared in the outer space of the big information base almost at the same moment. It quickly appeared and then quickly closed, as if it was just an illusion.

……

"The speed of human evolution has been slow."

Year end lecture at Lindenberg college, Moldavia.

In the trapezoidal hall, there are nearly 100 students sitting at the front end, and behind them, hundreds of other students of lower grades are also sitting, looking at the original stage, now the center of the podium.

A middle-aged mage calmly accepted the gaze of all the students. Under the light, he used magic amplification to send his voice into the ears of all the participants, without any tension or hesitation.

"As we all know, humans, elves, dwarfs, halflings, dwarfs, even extinct centaurs and orcs, have the same blood origin as us in a sense. In the primitive wilderness tens of millions of years ago, the oldest human groups had not yet differentiated. At that time, there were many alien races in the world, and there were many environments that had not been explored. Our ancestors lived in a warm plain environment, and they did not move a step for millions of years. "

Nostradamus and Israel were sitting at the top of the hall. They both looked at the middle-aged mage's speech calmly. No student or tutor noticed that the two supreme leaders of the Empire were behind them. But just then, a figure appeared and sat by Israel's side without hesitation, attracting both of them to gaze.

Joshua made a "quiet, watch carefully" gesture to them, and then stopped talking. This immediately stopped nochadamars and Israel's desire to ask. Instead of asking what he was doing before, he turned his head and continued to listen to the long planned speech.

"But an extraordinary climate change - now it seems that it is the prelude of the first ice age, which makes our ancient ancestors have to start to move away from their homeland. In the long migration process of hundreds and thousands of years, some people went to the south, which is wet and full of forests, and some people went to the west, which is dry and full of mountains, Some people chose to stay where they are... It can be said that there were as many tribes as there were at that time, and our ancestors began to spread all over the world for the first time. "

"Those who go to the South and turn into today's elves, those who enter the mountains are the ancestors of dwarves, and those who stay in the same place are the oldest cold barbarians. Halflings and dwarfs are all created by moving into narrow and warm underground tunnels. The lucky ones who move to the same warm plains as before are the ancestors of ordinary people like you and me."

"The form of life will evolve because of the environment. This is a fact that we can observe in countless experiments and practices. In the north, sharks and lizards are all ice, while in the south, almost all of them have the power of water and earth. It is not a coincidence that fire dragons live around volcanoes, while thunder dragons live on the top of mountains in rainy areas."

The middle-aged mage on the stage is a Xishan man. His voice is magnetic and rich, with a bit of Xishan accent. However, all the people present don't care, because he has conquered all the students with profound academic knowledge in recent years, so he can get this opportunity to give a speech: "while we are transforming the world, The world will also transform us, and our lives will constantly adapt to different environments, and then become more powerful generation by generation. According to the data, eight hundred years ago, the average strength of human adults was only Scandinavian black iron level. Now, in Moldavia alone, our 16-year-old teenagers have the average strength of the middle black iron level, and this level is rising at an incredible speed. "

"But it's just an illusion." All of a sudden, the master of the speech chopped the railway: "it's not that our life form is on the rise - it's just the illusion that everyone is rich in nutrition, everyone has meat to eat, and everyone can practice."

"The speed of life adapting to the environment can no longer keep up with the speed of life transforming the environment."

"Our evolution, in fact, has already stalled."

These short words immediately set off a low voice in the whole hall. Although these scattered conversations and exclamations were calmed down by the tutors present, it can be seen that all the students were obviously surprised and puzzled.The tutor on stage is still speaking.

"With the progress of technology, with the popularization of practice, with the more and more transcendent forces going deep into our group, including all civilized lives such as elves, dwarves and halflings, our bodies have no need to adapt to the environment for a long time. We have warm clothes and houses, practices that can withstand the freezing temperature of minus 100 degrees, magic and fighting spirit that can enter and leave the void. Thousands of years ago, in the last era, life did not need to adapt to the environment passively. The progress of our ancestors' wisdom was enough to replace the adaptive evolution of our bodies. "

His voice was so loud that even the three legendary heroes at the end of the hall could hear him clearly. Israel's expression was calm, Nostradamus's expression was uncertain, and Joshua nodded with a smile.

"Our wisdom makes us unique. The pan human civilization circle has become the overlord of the whole continent. Since then, our race has no challenge other than civil war. Because of this, our evolution has completely stagnated, or become very slow, and can no longer keep up with our pace. "

The master of the lecture was very devoted. He could see that this was his innermost thought. He looked around the hall for hundreds of students and tutors, and cried out: "now, our civilization is about to enter the void - is there any race that can enter the void directly with the body without relying on the Dharma or magic equipment?"

"No! Not even a dragon! Except for the legendary Cologne and void giant, no life can survive in the void by virtue of the body! We humans have the ability to go in and out of the void, but there is no matching body. This is the glory of our wisdom, but it does not mean that we should accept this weakness! It's time to change. Our wisdom should not accept this fragile carrier calmly. It takes tens of millions of years for natural evolution to achieve a great progress, but it's a matter of ancient and wild times. Now, we should take the initiative to change! "

"It took hundreds of thousands of years for the ancestors to learn how to make a fire and cook. It took them more than 100000 years to develop from a scattered community to a tribal age. It took them 100000 years to play with stone tools and tens of thousands of years to make big houses. They just learned how to forge metal eight thousand years ago, Then it reached the peak of civilization 1300 years ago! The progress of civilization can't keep up with that of natural evolution. The physical quality of the primitive tribes in some remote islands in the far south is not even as good as our 12-year-old boy. Natural evolution has lost its meaning. We can't adapt to the void and the infinite world in the multiverse by mutation! "

"Only through wisdom, magic, fighting spirit, and our wisdom can we transform our bodies, so that" human beings "and" intelligent life "can adapt to this void age and this vast multi universe. This is me

At this point, the lecturer pointed to himself, then reached out and pointed to all the students present in turn: "you too."

"It is the direction that all of us, the whole civilization, should strive for in the future."

The lecturer on the stage is still making some concluding remarks. The students on the stage are clapping wildly. We can hear the loud applause reverberating in the whole hall, but it doesn't matter any more, because at the end of the hall, there is a quarrel between several legendary strongmen that has lowered their voices.

"Joshua!"

Nostradamus murmured angrily, "is that your plan? Do you want to publicize the rationality and legitimacy of "human body modification" in lindongbao college, and then use these students as a starting point to publicize your theories to the outside world? "

With that, the old mage thought of the dense and creepy "human perfect prototype experiment" in the fourth practice room of Wanjie sacrifice hall, as well as those fantastic and imaginary demons that should only appear in nightmares. He couldn't help breathing out: "you really intend to transform the whole human... You're not kidding."

"I never joke. I can tell a few cold jokes at most. Nostradamus, you should have discovered that at least eight years ago. "

As for the old mage's question, Joshua didn't think much of it. He calmly looked at the lecturer who was flushed and excited and waved to the cheering students, and said in a low voice: "today's human beings are primitive species that still stagnated at least one million years ago. It is our wisdom that has stopped his evolution, so it should be our wisdom that has once again promoted him. This is the first step for our civilization to become a real void civilization. "

"Who do you think you are? God or sage? Are you sure that the changes you are going to make are really suitable for human beings? "

Nostradamus rubbed his temple. He calmed down and said seriously: "although human beings are indeed fragile, at least they are stable - our civilization and our society are based on this fragile body. If one day, everyone will suddenly fly, then our architectural style and society will change greatly, And what you're going to do now is not just to make humans fly, but to make them all extraordinary. ""This kind of change is enough to make our society and civilization suffer great turbulence, and people will no longer be people - most importantly, you are not sure whether this transformation is safe or not! Even so, you have to do it! "

"Otherwise." Joshua replied coldly, "if it's suitable or not, how do you know if it's not suitable? Do you think that fighting spirit practice and magic practice are not transformation? So what are you and I? The sorcerer, who is lichenized, elemental, spiritualized, and runic, is stronger than a dragon, faster than a bird, and can enter and leave the void physically. Isn't this a special and unpopular transformation? "

"I just want to popularize this kind of transformation to all people. It's strange that you can't understand me - I don't intend to force the transformation, but subtly influence our civilization to adapt to this kind of behavior and let them take the initiative to transform themselves."

"What's more, I'm human." Then Joshua pointed to himself, and then to Nostradamus and Israel: "you are all. Even we are all human beings. Why are they not after their transformation? "

It seems that Nostradamus still intends to retort, but Israel, who is in the middle of them, reluctantly gestured to both of them not to speak: "OK, what's so noisy about this little thing, teacher? Do you think this kind of transformation will cause social unrest and even induce the collapse of human self-identity? Radcliffe is thinking about the future, What he said is indeed true. Our civilization is stepping into the boundless void, and the fragile body is indeed a hindrance. "

"You had a quarrel about the evil gods before. Why bother to quarrel again? This kind of problem is not..." at this point, the emperor pondered for a moment, then sighed, "OK, we can decide this."

"I know, master Nostradamus, you are not denying me completely."

At this time, Joshua said again. He turned his head and looked at the old mage with a headache expression. The soldier's voice was calm: "it's just that you feel that this kind of event needs careful thinking, planning for decades, and then implementing it stably - only in this way can the whole civilization be pushed into that new era smoothly and without chaos."

"But we've run out of time - we've all started to think about whether to store human beings as souls and take them away in the coordinated Dharma array, so what is the transformation of human beings?"

The soldier whispered, "if you don't try, you'll never have a chance. It's the same with resistance and confrontation - it's the same with me."

Then Joshua got up and left the hall, leaving only Nostradamus and Israel in their seats.

"... ha ha."

After confirming that Joshua's life reaction had completely disappeared in the fluctuation of time and space, the originally depressed and dreary Nostradamus actually changed his face and chuckled. He breathed out a sigh of relief or said happily: "he finally has the idea of" want to be stronger. "

On the other side, Israel's Avatar nodded slightly. He sighed: "I didn't expect that we played this role."

Nostradamus closed his eyes and said in a tired voice: "Joshua... He is the fastest and closest person in the whole world of mirov, even including the data of the glorious era... I said that a few years ago, but I will say it again now."

"If we say who is most likely to achieve" the realm of sages ", then there is no third person in the whole world except him and Iger. Iger is already an old man with excellent talent, but the pattern has been limited to the mcrove civilization. Only he, he and Joshua can surpass, and he is the only one who has wandered in the multiverse at his young age, There are opportunities for those who have traveled many worlds. "

"But this guy only has the belief of" challenging a strong enemy "in his mind, but he doesn't have the determination to" become stronger "- for him, strength is just a challenge ticket. No matter how much he says, it's just a tool. His talent is really good. Even if he doesn't care, he can become stronger quickly, which makes him weak in this aspect."

Israel nodded with approval: "and now, he wants to be strong. For the first time, he didn't want to "one day I will challenge sages", but "I will achieve sages as soon as possible.". Although it seems to be the same, how can we challenge sages without sages? But the most important thing of the former is to "find sages", while the latter is to "become as strong as sages"... It can be regarded as a reversal of his idea. "

"Wait a minute."

Suddenly, Nostradamus frowned: "you say, will Joshua have found out our purpose?"

"Mind him."

Israel shook his head unconcerningly: "what if we find out? This is his own idea, and we just provide an opportunity - it's not a lie. After all, if he can't achieve the realm of sages and sages, we will never take a group of ignorant feudal subjects to fight against evil gods. ""It's just as Joshua said - if you don't try, you'll never get another chance."
