Overturned Tower - Vol 2.3 Chapter 84

Russell looked at Sheng Sheng in silence, pursing his lips slightly.

— Take back the foreword.

Now it seems that His Excellency the Pope is not a completely blind victim… His more than a hundred years of work is not in vain, at least he is still much better than the scabbard.

Unlike his fervent desire to sacrifice—the “promotion” that has existed in the position of ruler for more than a hundred years, his character is also far more cold-blooded, indifferent, and ambitious than Sheath.

Sheng Sheng will accept Shea again, probably not entirely because of his good relationship with Shea…but because he has taken a fancy to Shea’s powerful ability.

As the only person in the world who can kill a dragon, Sheath can be called the dragon nemesis.

The sheath is a sharp knife.

Therefore, after hearing the secret that Russell told him, Sheng Sheng immediately thought of a new plan based on the premise of “killing the dragon”—because he was thinking about it in the first place.

“…It’s really interesting.”

Russell suddenly laughed and exclaimed, “You’re a genius.”

Be it elves, churches or dragons…

The future is approaching, and they each have their own plans.

The plan of the name elves is the oldest and the most pessimistic. They directly inherited the ways of the First Men, and also inherited their fears. Their top priority is to “escape from the illusion”.

Therefore, the name-calling elves intend to kill the vast majority of people who are sensitive enough to illusions, leaving only those who are sensitive enough to illusions and talented enough to transform them into “elves”. Finally take the dragon’s ark and open the gray bend…go to different directions to escape from the dream.

So far, their extravagance and debauchery have only been because most of them are pessimistic about this future, and therefore plan to have one last carnival…and their contempt for human beings is because they have seen the end—that is Will eventually abandon the future of these ephemeral species.

And the giant dragons don’t have much fear of Huanmeng, because although they can’t resist Huanmeng, as artificial intelligence, at least they won’t be actively attacked by Huanmeng.

The most important goal of the dragon is actually “reviving the civilization of the ancestors”. No matter how prosperous the civilization is, it cannot resist the twilight… Even if they inherit the technology of the ancestors and continue to develop, they still cannot resist the “dream”. In other words, the more prosperous the civilization, the more stable the pollution of fantasy dreams will be.

Because the essence of fantasy is “selfishness”.

People’s joy, anger, sorrow, fear, love, evil, and desire are all like dreams and illusions… Human beings will eventually destroy others, also destroys itself. No matter how powerful the civilization is, it can’t resist this kind of social gene carved into the bottom of the blood by dusk…

Not to mention, the reason why this planet can develop into a psychic civilization is due to the “fantasy” sealed inside the planet. The energy overflowing from the sealed fantasy has developed into spells, psionic powers, holy orders, destiny… and the pure psionic power of the ancient civilization.

The root of these extraordinary powers, as well as the possibility of their civilization breaking free and reaching the universe, all come from the “dream” itself.

After all, the biggest problem they face is not **** the dream… but that they can’t kill the dream.

—The most fundamental despair comes from the inability of this planet to develop a superluminal engine. Their technology is locked… which means that they will never be able to leave this planet relying on the power of technology alone. In the long run, they can only die here.

Even if Russell really has a way to kill Huanmeng… that also means that everyone except Russell will lose their extraordinary power.

And if Huanmeng is allowed to wake up slowly, they will still die here.

Therefore, the essence of the dragon project… is to make human beings into “civilized specimens”.

They probably only plan to keep tens of thousands of people. Apportioned to each spaceship, I am afraid there will only be more than 10,000 people.

This number is not enough to maintain “civilization”, but at least it can be used as a “civilization sample”. Dragons themselves will not be attacked by illusions, so they just need to be alive – there must be other civilizations in the universe, they just need to

To be picked up, civilization can continue. Even if they died on the way to emigrate, at least the perfectly preserved ancient civilizations and their corpses will stay inside the dragon… This can also be picked up as a “harvest”, which is equivalent to completing the dragon partial wish.

“Fantasy” itself does not bring destruction. It will only lead to wars, bring disputes, make people unable to trust each other, and unable to unite forever… In the end, it is themselves who destroy everything.

And dragons have no life, so they are not afraid of death. They don’t intend to let human beings live in a healthy way, but just hope that “human civilization” can survive.

—Then, let’s make a specimen of “human civilization”.

Even if one generation, ten generations… Countless people will die on the way, civilization will not be cut off because of this. Eventually someone will inherit this history and be accepted by other civilizations as “Earthlings”. Even if it is only a subordinate race, or it is directly absorbed and assimilated, it is a result of the survival of human civilization. The seven-headed dragon means seven times the possibility of continuing.

And His Excellency the Pope is a genius.

He keenly grasped the essence of the dragon, and was afraid of it. He didn’t know how terrible the dusk was, because he didn’t experience the “dream catastrophe” like the name elf; he also didn’t have any feelings for the ancient civilization, because he lived in his own time.

He doesn’t think there’s any point in preserving human civilization… All he wants to do is to let as many people as possible survive, at all costs. From this point of view, he is indeed a saint.

His method is completely opposite to that of the giant dragon—the so-called “big fusion”, a terrifying plan similar to the completion of human beings, maybe it can really fight against Dusk. As long as what he said is true, all people will be fully integrated…Then the “group god” transformed by human beings is enough to resist the erosion of “fantasy”; and by killing the rest of the dragons to cut off other possibilities, you can Obtain enough resources and the rapid development of technology.

Transform all people into information life, and fully integrate the personalities of all people. Turn the “civilization” itself into a huge “individual” with a hive mind… and replace the entire old civilization with an incomparably huge “God” fused from all people.

In this way, they can be called “children of fantasy”.

Because they will constantly draw the power of “Dream”, and the twilight species named “Dream” will never be able to wake up.

In its place, there is a newborn Twilight named “Crowd God” – a newborn born from the shell of “Dream”.

This deformed way of existence must also belong to a kind of twilight… In other words, it is a low-profile version after the fusion of Russell and Monkey Face Eagle.

The reason why Russell said that the Pope is a genius is because he himself does not have dusk adaptability. He is not the egg of twilight, but he intends to rely on the power of technology to directly transform the soon-to-be-extinct human civilization into a new twilight to avoid the catastrophe of destruction.

— His point is simple.

Even if it is twisted, deformed, depraved… it doesn’t matter if it loses its physical body, it doesn’t matter if its thinking is degraded, or it doesn’t matter if its personality is damaged.

As long as it can exist, it is better than everything.

Sacrifice all that can be sacrificed for the most bleak victory—

A half-hearted sacrifice would only attract ridicule… But if he could sacrifice to such an extent, it would make Russell feel a little awe-inspiring.

Among the three versions of the plan, the church’s plan is the least risky and luck-based.

The plan of the elves needs to escape to a safe place before being overtaken by the illusion; the plan of the giant dragon completely ignores the threat of the illusion, at least sending the corpse and the tombstone to the destination… In a sense, this is the relationship between the elves and the tombstone. The reason why the dragons will achieve unity.

Because their plans do not conflict. If you’re lucky, you can execute

The plan of the elves; if they die in the middle, it can be turned into a plan of the dragon. But it does not rule out the possibility that the seven-headed dragons were unable to find a “next home” willing to accept them, or were destroyed halfway due to various reasons before that.

and

The church’s plan is… if they implement it like this and are not stopped by others, they will definitely get this result in the end—letting human beings directly take the initiative to twilight, thereby making the illusion harmless.

Except for some loss…

But it is not much different from the future of Russell or the twilight in which the monkey-faced eagle swallows all the people in the world and sublimates them into newborns.

“If you have a plan that is enough to convince me, you can propose it to me here.”

The old man looked solemn: “Otherwise, I will always reserve my opinion.

“Although you have told me those secrets, I still think my plan is the best.”

“…That’s why I don’t intend to stop you.”

Russell shook his head: “If my plan fails…at least you can provide a guarantee. It just so happens that if I fail, you don’t have to think about how to deal with me who is out of control…”

The plans of the dragon and the elves were completely unapproved by Russell. If you want to break the situation, you must find other paths.

Although the act of directly and actively transforming “all human beings” into twilight species always has a feeling of BE…but if the time really comes, this is also a helpless way.

It’s like a man who is starving to death…and he can steal a piece of bread just by reaching out. Survive while being a sinner.

If this person is Russell himself, then he can choose to steal or not.

But if the person who is about to starve to death is a third party that has nothing to do with Russell, and the bread he stole does not belong to Russell… With Russell’s character, he can’t reach out to stop the other party’s actions, and just watch “he” starve to death.

Russell wished to be able to provide him with a loaf of bread himself, if he could. Let him live in an open and aboveboard manner without stealing or robbing.

“Then let me share with you. My plan.”

Russell said in a deep voice: “So far, I have never mentioned it to anyone. You are the first.”

“…Then should I be honored?”

“It’s a great honor.”

Russell slowly closed his eyes and whispered, “Because if all goes well…it will be a solution without sacrificing anyone.”
