Chapter 3125: Life Is Endless!

“That’s outrageous. How can ‘Fuxi’ be compared to the super programs created by the Primeval Civilization?”

Li Yao blurted out, “The super programs of the Primeval Civilization are hundreds of times more advanced than those of the ‘Fuxi civilization’. The odds that you can swallow them are next to none. I don’t even know if it is one billionth!”

“So what?

Lu Qingchen smiled and looked at Li Yao with shining eyes. He said, “In my motherland, a great man once said that even a one-in-a-billion chance is not equal to zero. As long as there is a slim chance, you must summon 100% of your courage and fight until the end! Do you find the words familiar, ‘great man’?”

Li Yao was rendered speechless.

“Even if the super program of the Primeval Civilization is a hundred times more advanced than ‘Fuxi’, so what? I only have one life anyway.

With his hands behind his back, Lu Qingchen said slowly, “In the beginning, in the duel of ‘Ultimate Rescue’, the capability of Fuxi was hundreds of times higher than mine, and my odds of winning were so slim that they were negligible. At that time, I was determined to die. It is safe to say that my life was lost on ‘Ultimate Rescue’.

“Today, even if the super program of the Primeval Civilization is a hundred times more advanced than that of the Fuxis, so what? Can it kill me a hundred times? At most, it can kill me once, or lock me in a virtual space and torture me over and over again—how is it different from the Fuxis? The risk factor is the same!

“The risk is the same, but what if the gains from the gamble are hundreds of times greater? Is there any reason not to take the risk?

“Besides, if I don’t take the risk, even if I escape from the super program of the Primeval Civilization and return to the real world in one piece, I will still have to face the ambushes and blockades of you, the Blood Demon, Speaker Ding, and all the experts of the Star Glory Federation, the Star Glory Federation, the Star Glory Federation, and the Sanctuary Alliance. Do I have the slightest chance? Absolutely not! There will only be one outcome for me. I will be captured alive by you and forced to reveal my soul with magnetic-type magical equipment. I will be tied up like a dumpling and escorted back to the Federation for trial.

“Don’t get me wrong. I’m not scared of death. I don’t care about my reputation being lost forever. I just can’t stand being watched and judged by some righteous, self-righteous idiots. From my point of view, it’s like how an eagle can’t stand being captured by a hen and how a normal person can’t stand a bunch of idiots with saliva and snot pointing at themselves and criticizing them with the morals and justice of idiots.

“Don’t be angry. You know what I mean. ‘Hens’ and ‘drooling idiots’ are not just referring to you.

“Therefore, as long as there is a one in a billion chance of winning, or even a one in a billion chance of winning, as long as I am given the opportunity to gamble, I will try my best. Even if I only have one die in my hand, I will still throw three sixes!

“Besides, my hope is not that slim. You are one of them, aren’t you?

“Me?”

Li Yao pointed at his own nose.

“That’s right. Just like in the final battle against the Fuxis, there was no hope at all. But now that you are involved in the mess, the situation has been reversed without you knowing!”

Lu Qingchen smiled. “You don’t think that I haven’t discovered it yet, do you? Part of your soul comes from Earth, and the Primeval Civilization originated from Earth in the very beginning, which suggests that you are closely related to the Primeval Civilization.

“Of course, the Primeval Civilization originated from Earth billions of years ago. It was a place that really existed in the three-dimensional material universe. Let’s call it ‘Original Earth’, or ‘Earth 01’. There’s no reason why your soul could drift in the sea of stars for billions of years without dispersing. Maybe you came from another ‘Projected Earth’, ‘Virtual Earth’, or ‘Earth 1234’ after countless reincarnations. Who knows?

“All in all, wherever you are, there are bound to be endless variables that can turn all kinds of possibilities into possibilities that are absolutely impossible. Compared to your enemy, it seems that I should be your comrade for now. My odds of survival and victory are slightly higher.

“In conclusion, it would be better to stand on your side and start a full-scale war with the Primeval Civilization Super Program than to submit to it!

“Hey, hey, hey, hey. Look at your dumbfounded and horrified expressions. Don’t tell me that you don’t see through the malice and schemes of this super program. You don’t have a clear stance to fight against it. Instead, you are foolishly led by the nose and can’t free yourself from its trap, right?”

Looking at Li Yao, Lu Qingchen was both shocked and disappointed.

“Well…”

Li Yao thought carefully for three seconds. Then he turned to Ding Lingdang and pointed at Lu Qingchen. “Wife, beat him to death!”

“Wait.”

Ding Lingdang was eyeing Lu Qingchen covetously, but she did not distinguish between right and wrong. “Lu Qingchen, you were right. I also thought that the Primeval Civilization or the super programs it created were full of evil intentions and launched the most resolute attack. Then, I quit the test and came to this place. Are you the same?”

“Yes. I thought that I could either swallow the enemy or be killed or enslaved.

Lu Qingchen looked around and smiled more and more delightedly. He said, “I didn’t know that the capability and scale of the enemy were beyond my imagination. It must’ve thought that the human civilization in the Pangu Universe was too weak and did not want to possess us, so it decided to bait the big fish and let us develop ourselves for thousands of years.

“Speaking of which, I find it odd, too.

Ding Lingdang pondered for a moment and said, “The so-called ‘ultimate test’ is known to be mysterious and dangerous. The pioneers and testers of almost a hundred civilizations have all fallen here. I thought that it would be very difficult. As it turned out, when it was the turn of the human civilization, the first four testers had all broken out of their seclusion with a success rate of 100%? That’s unbelievable!”

“It’s not exaggerating at all. This is more reasonable!”

Lu Qingchen smiled and said, “The ultimate test left by the Primeval Civilization was meant to select a suitable successor or ‘host’, not to torture or to make things difficult for others.

“In other words, the Primeval Civilization wants to use the ultimate test to select a civilization that meets their requirements. Remember, it is a civilization, not an individual. As long as a civilization meets their requirements, any one of the individuals will take the ultimate test. The difficulty of the test will not be too high, and the passing rate is very high.

“Then, what are the conditions that the Primeval Civilization is interested in? Judging from the similarities between our four different personalities, I assume that it is a civilization that is in the prime of its life and in its prime.

“Only when a civilization is on the rise, immersed in the infinite brilliance of the golden era, possesses the most tenacious will and the most noble ideals, gathers the most firm confidence, and only then do they have the courage to face all the formidable enemies. Even when faced with the temptations and threats of the Primeval Civilization, they are completely fearless. Only then are they qualified to inherit the legacy of the primeval era, or to become the hosts of the Primeval Race.

“Individuals create history, but history also shapes the personalities of different individuals. The hundred civilizations that were born in the Pangu Universe only found the primeval relics when the sun was about to set. The pioneers and testers had already lost their will in the depletion of resources, the brutal civil war, and the decline of their civilization. They had lost their beliefs, but they regarded the Primeval Civilization as their last hope and could not wait to lunge at the feet of the Primeval Race and beg for mercy. This was the great trend of civilization and would not be transferred by the will of one or two heroes.

“Therefore, the pioneers and the testers all failed. Their civilization was not what the Primeval Lord of Heaven wanted. Naturally, they failed no matter how hard they tried.

“Before the civilization of mankind, ‘Fuxi’, a strong artificial intelligence created by the Pangu civilization, sensed traces of the destruction of almost a hundred civilizations. Although it was not able to figure out the rules of the ultimate test yet, it had enough time to propose a crucial proposal to its master—to freeze the time in the primeval relics for hundreds of thousands of years.

“It was because of the tens of thousands of years of solidification that the Pangu civilization was not entirely wiped out. Instead, many relics were left. The living Pangu Clan even gave enlightenment and help to the new generation of human civilization.

“In addition, a series of… legendary figures that can’t be described with pen and ink emerged in the civilization of mankind. They patched up the contradictions between the major forces time and time again. They stopped the wars that were likely to break out in full force time and time again. They united all of mankind and entered the peak of prosperity and glory.

“Of course, there was also a small contribution in the end. It was because I marched into the ancient relics without caring about anything that you were forced to come to this place. In the end, you faced your ancestors billions of years ago with a prosperous appearance that the previous hundred civilizations never had.

“Heroes make time, and times make heroes. We are all the new human beings created by the surging civilization of mankind. No matter whether we are good or evil, what our stance is, or how different our life forms are on the surface, we all share certain characteristics deep inside our souls that belong to a thriving civilization and are unique to the golden generation. Those characteristics are the key to our success. I dare to predict that more people will break out of seclusion in different ways later.

“However, like I said, who knows whether or not the test is still going on, and whether or not we are still in the ‘passage’? Haha. Hahahaha. This kind of thing can’t be explained clearly, and there’s no need to dwell on it. In any case, life is full of obstacles and tests. We have to keep fighting and breaking through until the last breath of our lives, right, Speaker Ding?”
