At this point, Bill Hines expressed his shame for his past self, saying that if human civilization, with only five thousand years of history, possesses such high morality, then civilizations that have existed for billions of years in the universe must also possess even higher morality.

Jonathan echoed this sentiment: "I shouldn't doubt God."

As they spoke, they embraced, tears streaming down their faces.

I don't know if they're serious or not.

How could someone actually believe in the existence of "gods" because of a spell?

Luo Ji patted the two men on the shoulder and said, "Gentlemen, please don't do this."

"You can go back now. We'll contact you if needed. Thank you."

Hines and Jonathan then left, still in a state of excitement.

……

The video has ended here.

This has also sparked discussions across various dimensions.

"The spell worked? Is there a god?"

"I get the feeling there's more to the story."

"No, the universe is so vast, how could there be no god-like civilizations!"

"Come on, let me see what's going on here?"

……

The video continues playing.

At this moment, only Luo Ji and Shi Qiang remain in the frame.

Luo Ji asked him what he was thinking about.

Da Shi stood there, stunned, as if he had just watched a stunning magic show.

Luo Ji asked him, "What, you don't believe I'm an angel of justice?"

Da Shi exclaimed, "Impossible! I would never believe it!"

Luo Ji then asked, "What about the representatives of the super civilization?"

"This is more plausible than the angel theory, but to be honest, I don't really believe it either; it just doesn't seem like the case." Da Shi's thinking is pragmatic, just like most Chinese people.

"Don't you believe in justice and fairness in the universe?"

Da Shi shook his head, indicating that it was hard to say and he didn't know either.

Luo Ji smiled and said, "Da Shi, come with me, and I'll tell you everything."

"Where?"

"Go to the darkest place."

This time, the two did not take a car, but walked along the road.

In the pitch-black surroundings, the two sat down separately.

"Let's begin." Luo Ji's voice rang out from the darkness.

The historian said, "Don't be too profound; my knowledge of humanities is limited."

"Anyone can understand this, Great History, the truth is very simple."

"It's that kind of thing that makes you wonder why you didn't discover it before."

Do you know what mathematical axioms are?

Luo Ji asked him.

"I've learned that, things like the shortest distance between two points is a straight line." Da Shi prepared to light a cigarette.

"Correct."

"And in the realm of cosmic civilizations, there are two axioms."

"Based on these two axioms, we can deduce the laws of the universe."

"First, survival is the primary need of civilization."

"Secondly, civilizations continue to grow and expand, but the total amount of matter in the universe remains constant."

Luo Jidao.

"Anything else?" Da Shi asked.

"Nothing."

"What can you figure out with just this?"

Luo Ji continued, "That's all I wanted to say."

"Just like you can reconstruct the whole case from a single bullet and blood."

"First, let's talk about the Dark Campaign."

"Would you believe me if I said that Starship Earth is a microcosm of cosmic civilization?"

Although Da Shi didn't understand, he didn't believe in these things.

Starship humans exist because they have too few resources, but the universe is so vast.

Luo Ji then said, "You're wrong. The universe is vast, but life is even greater."

"And this is the second axiom: the total amount of matter in the universe remains constant, but life is infinite."

"With the development of civilization, it will only take a few million years to reach a certain threshold of cosmic resources."

"Human civilization has only existed for a few thousand years in the universe. Just imagine how far it would develop if human civilization could last for a million years."

"And one million years is incredibly short in the grand scheme of things!"

hum~

Upon hearing Luo Ji's words, Da Shi felt as if he had been struck by lightning.

People from other dimensional worlds were also incredibly astonished!

Yes!

People from all dimensions then realized that human development had only lasted for a few thousand years, yet in just a few thousand years, humanity had progressed to such an extent.

What if it's a million years from now? That would be terrible!

……

The video continues playing.

Da Shi thought for a moment and said, "But the universe seems empty. Apart from the Trisolarans, no other aliens have been found?"

Luo Ji said, "Give me a cigarette."

Luo Ji, a heavy smoker, removed the filter, lit a cigarette, and then kept a four-meter distance from Da Shi.

"We only feel like we're in space when we're far away."

What do you see now?

Da Shi said, "It's too dark; all I can see are cigarette butts."

"Yes, that's what the universe feels like."

The video was very dark, with only two small sparks visible in the distance.

Luo Ji continued, "Now that you know of my existence, you can make a choice: whether or not to communicate with me?"

"And think about those two axioms from earlier?"

Da Shi took a drag of his cigarette and tentatively asked, "Should I choose to communicate with you?"

“That way you’ll expose your own existence,” Luo Ji said.

“But bro, let’s have a conversation. If you’re up to no good, then I’m out of luck.”

"But if you are well-intentioned, we can unite to form a stronger civilization."

"That's what the Grand Historian said."

Luo Ji continued, "Okay, Da Shi, you've fought in battles before, so let's assume this."

"You are currently on an urgent secret mission. The war zone ahead is a mix of enemy and friendly forces, with both our own and enemy snipers lurking among them."

"At this moment, you spot a figure 300 meters away, but you can't determine whether it's a friendly force."

"If you continue forward, you might be discovered by the other person. What would you do? Would you try to communicate with them?"

When Luo Ji said those words...

The video features special effects; in a dark forest, Da Shi, carrying a gun, carefully moves forward.

Such a scene would make viewers on the edge of their seats with tension.

on the screen.

When faced with this hypothetical question, Da Shi was momentarily at a loss for words: "If I were to communicate with the other party, they might be an enemy."

"This could expose our location and cause the mission to fail."

"If I were on the other side, I also wouldn't be able to determine whether the other side is a friendly force."

"At the same time, I cannot determine whether the other party considers me an enemy."

Luo Ji nodded: "Yeah, it's pretty complicated, isn't it?"

"And this is only the second level; this logic can go on and on without end."

"Regardless of whether the other side is friend or foe, in an extreme battlefield environment with a lack of information, this is the only way to think about it."

Da Shi: "Brother, I understand what you mean."

"Yes, that's a chain of suspicion."

"On Earth, suspicion can only extend one or two layers before it is dissolved by communication."

"But in true cosmic civilizations, the biological differences between different races are enormous, and the cultural differences are even more unimaginable."

"And being separated by a great distance, the chain of suspicion between them is almost unbreakable."

Luo Ji said.

"So regardless of whether the other civilization is good or bad, the result is the same," Da Shi asked.

“That’s right, that’s the most important characteristic of a chain of suspicion, and it has nothing to do with civilization itself,” Luo Ji said.

"However, the discussion just now was based on the premise that both sides were equal."

"If the civilization on the other side is weaker than me and poses no threat to me, then I can at least communicate with them, right?"

The Grand Historian asked.

"That won't work either. Let's introduce a second important concept: technological explosion."

"Human civilization has a history of thousands of years, and life on Earth has lasted for billions of years."

"Modern technology has developed over a period of three hundred years. From the perspective of the time scale of the universe, this is not development at all, but an explosion."

"As mentioned earlier, on a cosmic scale, a few hundred years is just a blink of an eye."

"I could have a technological explosion at any time, suddenly becoming far ahead of you and more powerful than you."

"Therefore, even a primitive civilization is full of danger for you."

Luo Ji said.

These words shocked everyone in the myriad worlds and dimensions once again!

Utterly astonished!

No wonder they said before, "Destruction is the highest respect you can show to a civilization!"
