Chapter 336 You Overestimate Humans
Chapter 336 You Overestimate Humans
In fact, it is not accurate to say that it is controlling the police.
The city lord's ability is more like the enthronement in ancient legends.
Anyone who is chosen by him to be a policeman can borrow his power, and he relies on this to manage the entire city.
This is how he got to power. He joined the police system, climbed up step by step, took control of the police station, and then launched a coup.
At that time, all the gang leaders were very scared. After all, if a truly good person came up, their gangs would probably be finished. But what kind of world was this? How could there be saints in this world?
After this city lord came to power, he did the same thing as before, and even became more professional.
As the city lord, he divided the underground city into blocks. The person in charge of each block was responsible to him and had to pay enough taxes or labor. Then the person who divided the blocks became the local emperor of this block. You can do whatever you want as long as there is no large-scale death.
Basically, he just ignored the dungeon and focused on collecting resources.
What resources should we collect?
Soul crystal.
This is a unique material produced after the human world enters the end of the world.
It is the product of some kind of reaction between the dungeon and the earth.
It is born near the interface between the dungeon and the soil, similar to ore.
Therefore, many dungeon lords will send people to dig the dungeons horizontally, and the dungeons will expand with this excavation.
Now, in the opinion of the leader of the Red Devil Gang, anyone who dares to say so blatantly that he wants to kill the police is actually targeting the current city lord.
All he could do was wait.
Anyway, no matter who is in power, they need these low-level gangs to maintain order.
Why should they be in a hurry? This is not a war in ancient times. They will not be captured as cannon fodder. In the battle between extraordinary people, there is no room and time for ordinary people to perform. Even if the current city lord organizes them, they may not even know where the enemy is. It is meaningless.

"Let's see how to buy a ticket first."
After those gang members left, Li Zhongren retracted his gaze and began to think in his mind, I need to buy a ticket.
Soon, a space fluctuation was heard, and a ticket counter appeared.
That’s right, this is the basis for maintaining the three principles of the dungeon. As long as you want, the ticket office will appear in front of you and no one can stop it.
Some people also said, if I don’t give people money, then they won’t be able to buy tickets?
In theory, you have to pay currency to buy a ticket.
However, have you ever thought about this question: with so many dungeons, each with its own currency system, how do you trade?
Yes, the ticket office only accepts the money they approve, which is the contribution.
If you want to buy a ticket, you must directly or indirectly build a dungeon. This behavior will generate contribution points, and this contribution point is the source of being able to buy a ticket. Moreover, all of this is under the supervision of the dungeon. No one can take it away, and no one can cheat.
There is no doubt that the underground cities scattered throughout the Blue Star should actually be a whole, under the control of a certain person or force, but the price of this control is that these people may have paid with their lives.
Thinking of this, Li Zhongren stretched out his hand, and an inexplicable wave spread and transmitted to the ticket selling space.
Soon, the ticket office disappeared, and in its place, a glowing girl emerged from the ground, curled up, and floated in the air.
After a long time, she woke up and looked at Li Zhongren.
"You woke me up?"
"I'm just trying it out. So, you are the tower spirit?"
"That's it."
The girl did not seem panicked, but rather calm. She slowly stretched her body and just floated in the air.
"So, can you tell me about this world?"
"Yes, visitor from another world."
"Oh? You know I'm not from this world?"
"I still have this ability."
The girl said with a smile.
"Then I'll just briefly explain it."
So the girl slowly told the whole story.
The whole process was pretty much what Li Zhongren had guessed. As the world's technological level improved, once a certain critical point was reached, the lower-class people would completely lose their role and become animals in cages. The only meaning of their existence would be to become test subjects for genetic experiments, just like mice or macaques.
The girl's name is Guang.
She couldn't bear to watch it.
In other words, a congenital genetic mutation gave her a more emotional soul and greater ability to empathize.
It was this empathy that made her decide to overthrow the existing world.
So, she used her own power and status to plan the Doomsday Fortress Project.
Eliminating almost all the upper classes and some of the technologies they possess ensures that human labor is irreplaceable.
Then, she merged her body with the Tao and became the law of the dungeon, protecting all mankind in the final way.
Although her actions indirectly led to the deaths of many people, she did not regret it. After all, if she had not done so, the lower-class people would have become experimental subjects.
Of course, there is a price to pay for doing this, and the price is that she will continue to lose herself until one day, when everything becomes completely solidified into rules. She doesn't mind, but this is a problem. Once the rules are solidified, they may be broken.
In fact, there are already many extraordinary people trying to bypass the three principles of the dungeon. After all, in their eyes, the lower-class people are pigs, and all they need is to be able to give birth.
She also knows this.
Her empathy doesn't mean she is a fool.
Her sympathy lies with the entire group of lower-class people, not just any individual one.
Because she knew very well that if people at the bottom became people at the top, they would only become more vicious and greedy than people at the top. This is human nature.
Therefore, if you want to keep the dungeon running, you must take advantage of human nature.
However, she is not a god, and this is all she can do. In the future, if humans cannot find a way out, they will be completely destroyed...
However, she did not expect that one day, more than a thousand years later, she would be awakened by a visitor from another planet.
"So, Mr. Li Zhongren, what is your purpose in waking me up?"
"Purpose? Curious, I wanted to see what was behind the rules, but it turned out to be a person."
"And then? Is there anything you want to do, sir?"
"Haven't thought of it yet."
"So, would you like to accept my employment and help me find a way to solve this problem?"
Li Zhongren naturally knew that the so-called problem was the way out that the girl wanted to find for the human world. "You overestimate me, or rather, you overestimate humans."
Li Zhongren shrugged.
"As long as humans exist, the beautiful utopia you imagine will not exist. This is determined by the most fundamental gene that makes up humans, altruism. No one can get rid of this characteristic, unless..."
"Unless what?"
"Unless there is a being that is not constrained by the interests of humans and can view the entire human society from a higher dimensional perspective, just like what you are doing now, but with a higher authority, so high that you can manage every aspect. Every person will be marked at birth, and everything they do will be monitored by you. Once they break the law, they will be immediately sanctioned accordingly."
"From now on, human society has abolished all government, military, police, and other such institutions. You are the only one left to maintain order."
"Only in this way can you suppress the bad nature of human genes. However, this is still a temporary solution, not a permanent one. The day you disappear, humans will return to their old ways, or even get worse. Therefore, you must bind human civilization and exist forever."
"This is the only way."
"call"
Hearing this, the girl took a deep breath, her eyes flickering continuously, as if she was calculating something.
"I can do part of what you said, but I still lack sufficient authority. As long as I gain enough authority, I can bind myself to all of humanity, relying on the sea of psychic energy and coexisting with humanity forever. As long as humans exist, I exist, and if humans disappear, I disappear. In addition, I will cut off my own path to promotion. Otherwise, I will become the final product."
"Then let's have a happy cooperation."
"Eh? You willing to help me?"
"Why not? After all, I can benefit from it, too."
"What's the benefit?"
“This is a long story.”
-
It was late at night and Li Zhongren had already reached the top floor of the underground city. With the help of the girl Guang, the blockades between different underground floors were meaningless to him.
The moonlight is bright and the air is fresh. This is the top floor.
Li Zhongren took a breath of air. Compared with the turbid air on the bottom floor, the air he breathed on the top floor was real, clean air. Moreover, the air contained endless spiritual energy. No wonder, extraordinary people like to live on the top floor.
"So, you are actually doing the same thing as me, traveling between different worlds, collecting the rules of different worlds, and using them to complete yourself?"
The girl floated beside Li Zhongren and asked curiously.
"more or less."
Li Zhongren shrugged. He told part of it. He was not afraid of the secret being leaked, because their core, the border, had been completely hidden by Li Elden. Even the Outer Gods could not find it. You know, in that void, the Supreme Will was still angry, but it was a pity that there was no point in being angry. It was like a mad dog, it could only vent its anger. Countless planets were reduced to ashes because of its anger, but it was meaningless.
"We're here. This is the City Lord's Mansion."
The so-called City Lord's Mansion is the entrance to every underground city. This is also the price that the city lord must pay.
Originally, with the girl Guang's ability, she could easily kill the extraordinary people to complete herself, but she couldn't do it because when she regularized herself, she cut off this path because she was worried that she would also degenerate.
Therefore, this process can only be completed by Li Zhongren.
Of course, Girl Guang can provide enough information and various hidden paths.
Therefore, Li Zhongren had quietly walked into the City Lord's Mansion and saw the current City Lord.
However, what surprised him was that this city lord no longer looked like a human being, but more like a machine.
He sat on the throne, his body covered with all kinds of mechanical pipes, like a cyborg. If it weren't for the breath still coming from his chest, he would have thought that this guy was dead.
"His ability is to disperse his own abilities and control the entire underground layer. Then, those dispersed abilities will also give him enough power back. However, the price is that he himself will become mechanized. In fact, his abilities are similar to mine."
"What is his purpose?"
"Merge with the underground city, and then spread yourself out like a virus through the underground train. In fact, this is what all extraordinary people are doing now, and the target they are referring to is me."
"hehe."
"So, in fact, as long as I devour him, I can replace him and spread myself. Moreover, the subway was originally extended from me. Soon I will be able to control all the underground layers of the entire Blue Star, form a hive consciousness, and upgrade all the underground cities."
"Very good, without further ado, let's get started."
Li Zhongren took a step forward.
With a click, the city lord opened his eyes. At this moment, his eyes had turned into mechanical eyes, scanning himself. He wanted to say something, but Li Zhongren didn't want to listen. Instead, he raised one of his hands, with a pistol in his hand.
"Oh!"
There was a gunshot.
A black-green light shot out and hit the city lord, who died on the spot.
This is his cheat, the Gun of Death. It needs enough time to charge. After charging to the limit, it can kill any enemy with one shot. The price is that he will also die.
It's a one-for-one artifact.
However, there is a shared space behind him, so as long as the weight of the people he kills does not exceed the shared space, he can be exempted from this death.
"it's over?"
The girl was a little dazed.
"Alright, go and devour it. This isn't a novel, so there's no need for 300 battles."
"It's done."
At the junction, Lee Elden opened his eyes.
This time the speed was very fast. After several worlds had no harvest, this world finally had a harvest. The girl named Light, when she devoured the power of the city lord and then spread her main consciousness to the entire blue star through viral spread, she successfully established a new order.
First, she launched the Great Purge, a real Great Purge, in which all of humanity was judged according to simple human moral values and received corresponding punishments: small punishments for minor offenses, large punishments for major offenses, and death penalty for extremely serious offenses.
Second, she established a completely new supervision model. From then on, the human world completely bid farewell to the bureaucratic system. All supervision and all government operations were carried out by her.
Of course, this has nothing to do with their sharing of space. What Li Elden really cares about is the process of fusion. The girl just allows herself to rely on the Alaya consciousness to exist.
And this is exactly what they are looking for.
With this technology, they can already start creating their own Outer Gods.
As long as the Outer Gods continue to grow and add their own consciousness here, an effect will be created.
The power of the outer gods will not change, but the inner core becomes all of them!
They themselves are the Outer Gods!
As long as they work together, they can fight against other Outer Gods, such as the Supreme Will that is chasing them.
"Supreme will, huh? You better wait for me!"
Taking a deep breath, Li Elden narrowed his eyes slightly. A gentleman's revenge is never too late. He has survived all these years, so he doesn't mind the future. In order to ensure the integrity of the Outer Gods, he will continue to look for a new world.
