Long Fei was aware of the matters concerning the Starry Ancient Path.
Previously, the Temple Ancestor ntioned that he might have co from a world of great civilization. It seed he violated so rule and was exiled to this small world by his clansn.
In his eyes, this world was a frontier region.
Unfortunately, the Ancestor left nothing behind.
He only left a longsword resembling a flashlight, with a special stone that could absorb Taihua and Lunar’s Light.
Once released, the gathered light transford into a longsword, capable of competing with the Immortal King Sword.
Long Fei curiously asked Jin Wu, "You ntioned that your Elders Council consists of ten chanical People. They have no life, so why are they interested in exploring star civilizations?"
Jin Wu replied, "There are two reasons: one is to plunder cosmic resources, the other is to search for the true aning of life."
Long Fei laughed, "The true aning of life?"
Jin Wu nodded and said, "The more data they acquire, the more they find themselves bewildered by their own existence. They also want to know whether they belong to life or not. If they don’t belong to life, why are they capable of thought? If they do belong to life, why were they created by humans? What truly is life? What marks the beginning and end of life? These two questions have always troubled them, also hindering the developnt of Aurelius."
Long Fei, sowhat surprised, said, "The chicken or the egg? At their level, such thinking is indeed pertinent. This question has ascended to the height of philosophy, and I guess no one can answer it."
Jin Wu nodded and said, "Yes, we’ve established a reward system on Aurelius specifically for this kind of question. As soon as soone provides an answer that satisfies the Elders Council, they can imdiately be promoted from a commoner to the Imperial Family."
"Has there been an answer?"
Long Fei curiously raised his eyebrows.
Jin Wu shook his head and said, "Not yet. In the mind of the Human Race, the chanical People have no life, they are creations of humans, rely tools. No matter how advanced or powerful the chanical Tribe has beco, they are still machines. This is the consensus of the Human Race, and everyone only dares discuss it privately. Anyone who dares to openly proclaim it faces their own demise."
"Then the humans on Aurelius indeed have a miserable existence."
Long Fei wandered around the spacecraft, staring at the mystic patterns that appeared on the machine screen, montarily lost in thought.
These processing system codes were unlike the computer system codes of the outside world; instead, they used Daoist Sect scripts.
An outsider like him found understanding this operating system effortless.
On the main console were automated lighting systems, auto-pilot systems, automatic Defense Systems, and more.
All were transformations of Daoist Sect arrays into chanical systems controlling the array’s operation.
Jin Wu, after much contemplation, finally spoke from behind, "Master, I think you’re right. We should liberate the people of Aurelius, freeing them from the chanical Tribe’s enslavent. Regardless, the Human Race should be masters of the world, not enslaved by their own creations, right?"
Long Fei concentrated and said, "Your words remind of a story. Legend has it that when the heavens and earth first opened, ti began without humans. The first Divine Clan to appear found the world boring, so they created the Human Race. The result was the Human Race developing increasingly stronger and less controllable by the Divine Clan. In response, the Divine Clan sought to annihilate humans by sending heavenly fire and torrents. Yet, humans survived disaster after disaster, eventually defeating the Divine Clan and becoming the world’s masters."
Jin Wu stared at him, montarily stupefied.
Long Fei asked him, "Do you think the chanical People feel the sa way? Once they acquire life, are they no longer grateful to creators, instead rising in rebellion against them, hoping for their own race to beco the masters of heaven and earth? In this respect, do you deem the chanical Tribe right or wrong?"
Jin Wu remained silent, unsure how to answer.
Long Fei laughed and told him, "There is no right or wrong, all races vie for survival, and only the fittest survive. As part of the Human Race, we must fight for our destiny. We do not distinguish between right and wrong, only winning and losing. Anyone who seeks to seize the Human Race’s destiny is our enemy. That’s our path, no doubts, no confusion, just advancing courageously for the rise and developnt of the Human Race, even at the cost of death."
