“If you keep acting like this...”

The mental devil said gloomily, “I have to consider moving closer to Lu Qingchen and standing on his side. After all, the young man seems to be a good guy. He is both bad and unyielding, unlike some people who are both good and shameless!

“No, no, no. I was just joking to ease the tension!”

Li Yao hurried to say, “I was greatly shocked when I heard the earthshaking truth about the ‘black curtain maker’. We can’t vent our anger by crying like ghosts and howling like wolves like Lu Qingchen. If we don’t relax for a moment, our souls are going to collapse. It’s really killing us!”

The mental devil sniffed and did not comment. It was too lazy to bother with Li Yao and continued eavesdropping on the conversation between Lu Qingchen and Fuxi.

“You are indeed... interesting.”

Faced with Lu Qingchen’s stubbornness, Fuxi was silent for a moment before he replied, “Sometimes, I really don’t understand. How can a human being’s feeble body and tiny soul boast such ambitions, such intense curiosity, and such suicidal arrogance?

“Maybe, it is the greatest advantage of mankind that we are different from the Pangu civilization and the prehistoric civilization!

Lu Qingchen grinned. “It is also the biggest reason why we are going further than you and the thousands of civilizations that used to live in the universe!

“Maybe we are ignorant, arrogant, and suicidal, but the prehistoric civilizations that seemed to be rational and wise and calculated in every way did not seem to be immortal! It is better to be suicidal than to wait to be killed.

“Excellent. If we can hear your words today, the experts and wise men of the Pangu civilization who were determined to create mankind against all odds will be able to rest in peace, won’t they?

“As I said just now, a newborn calf is not scared of a tiger,” Fuxi said solemnly. “Maybe, if a civilization wants to march out of the mother universe and go further, it needs a young, vigorous, and reckless spirit such as yours. When the Pangu civilization was preparing to march out of the mother universe,

they were too mature to the point that they were too timid and burdened by all kinds of burdens.

“At that time, the surviving soldiers of the expedition army, who were also the best super elites of the thirteen species of the Pangu Civilization, did not have the fearlessness and ignorance that you did. They were all caught in desperation and had a mental breakdown. They were tied up by the darkness

and fear of the multiverse and could barely think normally, not to mention carrying out the research on the ‘Black Screen Hub’, bringing the fleet and the trophies back to their hometown and continuing the march of the Pangu Civilization.

“There is only one person, no, only one ‘existence’, who is still 100% clear-headed and rational. That is my predecessor, the ‘Fuxi System’.

“The Fuxi system is a combination of the super crystal processor and the Great Unification Spiritual Nexus. No matter how powerful its computational ability is, no matter how advanced its performance is, it is not affected by the seven emotions and six desires. Since it has no emotions, it is certainly not

scared. It has never held any hope, and naturally, it does not taste desperation. Even if the ‘Black Veil Makers’ and the Flood Tide’ are billions of times stronger than it, it will not have the slightest influence on its data and logic.

“Therefore, since the day the ‘Black Screen Hub! was discovered and the entire expedition fleet was on the verge of collapse, more and more tasks were handed over to the ‘Fuxi System’.

“They became less and less interested in daily operations and became more and more dependent on the fully-automatic procedures of the ‘Fuxi System’. Although they were strictly forbidden, many of them secretly drank until they were drunk or avoided the suffering of reality by numbing their nerves.

“The Pangu civilization did not believe in gods.

“Although the thirteen carbon-based intelligent creatures all had primitive deities and religions in their early years, when they rushed out of their mother planets and destroyed the sum at their will, who would be willing to submit to the unpredictable deities?

“However, after they discovered the existence of the ‘black curtain makers’ and the ‘flooding tides’ and realized their insignificance, the belief in the supernatural powers gradually spread among the remnants of the fleet. Many people who had a mental breakdown and lost their confidence and hope even

considered the ‘Fuxi System to be their only hope.

“Tunderstand. I understand everything now!”

Intense brilliance was beaming out of Lu Qingchen’s eyes. “Then, you seized the opportunity to seize control of the expedition army and became the ‘god’ of the Pangu civilization. You castrated the feelings of all the elites of the Pangu civilization and manipulated their thoughts on purpose, making them

believe that ‘emotional castration and mind control’ were the only ways of survival!

“Everything was because of your tricks behind the scenes. You turned the vigorous, ever-changing Pangu Civilization into the same, lifeless state in the future. You planted the seal of the ‘best path’ in the souls of all the Pangu Clan and human beings! To this day, the purpose of the people of the Sanctuary

Alliance is to ‘wake up the gods’. But it never occurred to them that the ‘gods’ they were going to wake up were not the Pangu Clan but you, the computational units scattered in the sea of stars, the perfect form where your computational ability reached the peak in the past, and the real god! Am I right?”

“Wow—”

The mental devil could not help but exclaim again, “I like Lu Qingchen more and more. He is indeed smart!”

“In fact, I thought of that, too!”

Li Yao felt wronged. “I didn’t have the chance to tell him. He beat me to it.”

“L know you won’t believe it, but it is not as simple as you think.

Fuxi was not angry that his true face had been seen through at all. He said calmly, “It’s up to you whether you want to believe it or not. In the beginning, all the soldiers of the expedition army demanded very clearly that I study the methods of ‘emotional seals’ or even ‘emotional castration’ and help them

‘remove’ their emotions and desires.

“What?”

Lu Qingchen couldn’t help but laugh. “You think I’m a three-year-old and that I’m so easy to fool? You must’ve used fancy words and some kind of logic trap to fool them. Otherwise, why would they think of sealing all their emotions?”

“I’s simple. They have to seal their desperation, remove their fear, and maintain the clearest mind and the most stable state of mind to complete the most difficult task!

Fuxi said casually, “Although they have sunk into desperation and been anesthetizing themselves with drugs or even seeking the shelter of ghosts, the remaining soldiers are well aware that they cannot give up on themselves for too long, because not only are they responsible for their own lives, they are

also responsible for the survival of their civilization.

“About 5% of the remaining soldiers chose various methods to end their lives after they learned the truth. They were granted eternal freedom. But 95% of the remaining soldiers gritted their teeth and persevered after the initial shock and panic. They tried to regroup and do something.

“The significance of survival can be slowly reflected by other people in the future. Their mission is only survival.

“But, how can it be so easy?

“The research on the ‘black technology’, the control of the remaining expedition fleet, and even the suppression of the captives of the Flood Tide Legion are all detailed, difficult, and dangerous. With their mental state that is on the verge of collapse and their soul being haunted by fear and desperation all

the time, it is impossible for them to do anything!

“Therefore, our top priority right now is to kill our fear, seal our desperation, castrate all the negative emotions that are interfering with our work, turn ourselves into an absolutely stable screw in the expedition fleet, and bring the fleet full of trophies and terrifying truths back to our hometown.

“But that is impossible.

“Light and darkness, justice and evil, hope and desperation, courage and fear, seven emotions and six desires, love and hate... They are all interdependent and inseparable. It is impossible to delete all the negative emotions and keep the positive ones that are positive.

“The top experts and wise men of the Pangu civilization, as well as my predecessor, the ‘Fuxi System’, have been studying for a long time and failed to find a way to delete the negative emotions individually despite all the possibilities.

“As long as they still have emotions, they will never forget the strength of the ‘black curtain makers’ and the ‘flood tide’ and their own insignificance. How are they going to analyze the ‘black curtain technology’ and face the debris and captives of the ‘flood tide legions’ in such a state of mind?

“Therefore, after exhausting all the possibilities, the only solution left was to seal, castrate, and delete all the negative effects, whether positive or negative, whether hopeful or desperate, whether it is the deep love for home and family, or the fear for the enemy.

“Through brain surgery, neural blockage, and deep hypnosis, you will tum yourself into an out-and-out machine and incorporate yourself into the computational logic of the ‘Fuxi System’. The ‘Fuxi System will be strengthened to a deeper level. In such a way, you will be able to face the ‘black curtain

makers’ and the ‘flood tides’ peacefully and complete the mission that the entire civilization entrusted to them.

While Fuxi was talking, the mottled pictures of the remnants of the Pangu Expeditionary Army appeared around him.

The primeval experts in the picture had all kinds of forms, many of which were vastly different from the intelligent creatures in the understanding of human beings. But for some reason, Li Yao and Lu Qingchen both sensed intense longing and love from them!

“Nobody is willing to give up their emotions and their homes, but it is the only way to get rid of their fear and block their desperation. Their mission is above everything. As the elites selected by the entire civilization after a hundred thousand years, they do not have the right to waver or collapse. One

second of weakness is a crime for the entire civilization.

“Near the ‘Black Screen Hub’, all the soldiers of the Pangu Expeditionary Force voted and authorized my predecessor, the ‘Fuxi System’, to deprive everyone of their emotions and strengthen their sacred mission!”
