From the end of the world

Chapter 548: Killing at the Gospel House

Since in today's integrated world, there are malfunctions and errors in the part about the history of human activities, this part should be deleted completely.

However, even if all the powers of the Great Impermanence were combined, they would not be able to completely delete all the human activities in the past tens or millions of years. Not to mention that this part also includes their own existence, even if they do not move the human history of the strange world, and only delete the human history of the common sense world, it is an extremely huge project. I don't think they can complete it all before the end of the world.

Therefore, the Gospel Institute chose the simplest method - since the problem is human history, then wouldn't it be enough to just kill all human beings themselves?
Of course, even if this is done, the traces that humans have left on Earth will not disappear, and the fact that "humans once existed on this planet" will not be changed, and human history will still exist objectively. But at the very least, this contradictory process will no longer continue.

Although the mistakes made in the past on the planet's space-time environment will not be wiped out immediately, at least they will not continue to deteriorate. Space-time has a self-repair mechanism, which is also the "historical correction power" mentioned several times in the past. One day, the world's order will return to a healthy state.

From the perspective of "saving the world", this is an impeccable and simple plan, and it is also fully feasible. It is just a piece of cake to destroy all mankind. I don't even need the four gods of the Gospel House. I can do it alone. But is this approach really meaningful?

Human beings should promote environmentalism because the damage to the environment caused by industrial activities will eventually come back to haunt us. On the other hand, if the protection of the environment must be based on the destruction of human life, environmentalism will become an evil act.

"Saving the world" is one thing. Once the world is destroyed, all life and non-life on it, including humans, will die without a burial place. But if all of humanity can continue to live in a different world, and the quality of life and development prospects will not be reduced in the slightest, then it is impossible for people to continue to fight to the death to prevent the end of the world.

In order to prevent the end of the world from happening, we bring about the end of the world for all of humanity first...isn't this putting the cart before the horse?
Even the Transcendents who regarded mortals as worthless would not do that. After all, mortals were a very useful resource in their eyes, at least to ensure the continuation of their race.

Soon, No. 7 answered the doubts in my mind.

"Although the Gospel Institute aims to exterminate all of humanity, there is a very small margin for this goal."

After all, she was once a high-ranking member of the Gospel House, so she spoke of the Gospel House with a very confident tone, "After all, they are also human forces. If they don't leave any room for themselves, they will have to destroy themselves. Moreover, human vitality is also very tenacious. Even if the Gospel House causes a major cleansing of the surface of the world of the living, there is no telling whether two or three kittens will survive by chance."

She seemed to have organized her words a little, and continued, "It is said that during the ancient ice age, due to the harsh natural environment and super volcanic eruptions and other disasters, the total number of humans once dropped to thousands. The current humans are all descended from these ancient humans.

"From a scientific research perspective, in order to maintain genetic diversity and reduce the risk of genetic diseases caused by inbreeding, humans may only need 500 people to re-evolve into a large population.

"So according to the information we have, the gods of the Gospel Institute should want to keep a minimum of three to four digits of humans, and then carry out a comprehensive cleansing of the total population of the 8 billion people in the world of the living. At the same time, destroy their history, culture, language, technology, creations... everything accumulated since the birth of mankind, and restart the concept of 'human history' in the distant future.

"As long as we restart from scratch, we won't inherit the faults and mistakes of the past, and humans can thrive again on the land of the future."

Unlike what you might think at first, the Gospel House’s plan not only considers how to solve the problem of the end of the world, but also seriously considers what will happen after the problem is solved.

I'm afraid the content of this plan is far more detailed and richer than I imagined.

"But, this approach is a little too..." Xiaowan sighed, "Besides... this plan is only based on theory, what if the doomsday is not a disaster that can be quelled simply by killing 8 billion humans? Or does their plan actually have some kind of realistic basis?"

"It's true." Number 7 said, "The existence of this strange thing is enough to prove the feasibility of their plan.

"All clues currently point to the fact that the Doomsday is a disaster caused by humans, and the monsters are just involved. Don't you think this is a bit strange? In the past history, the actions of the monsters also showed inappropriate contradictions and had no impact on the common sense world, but the coming of the Doomsday has nothing to do with them."

I tried to suggest a direction: "Isn't it because, unlike humans who value order, strange actions are full of unknowns and chaos, and can be justified in any way? Just like there would be no structural conflict without structure, and no paradox without logic."

"I don't know whether the weird things are chaotic or actually follow an unknowable order, but no matter which side the answer is, their history is bound to be free of any errors and failures." No. 7 said, "Because they have no history after all, or more precisely, no 'accumulation'. The weird things ten thousand years ago are not much different from the weird things today.

"Although there may be more strange events spread through audio-visual products, telephones, and the Internet in modern times, it is not that the strangeness itself has changed, but it is just reflecting the changes in human society. There is no essential difference from the strangeness in ancient times. Even the 'doomsday weirdness' in the afterlife has not escaped this barrier, and its abnormality is just a reflection of the properties of the soil of birth." The most important thing is that they go their own way, have no contact with each other, have no language and culture, and will not do things according to 'past experience', and they are generally irrational. Although there are very few intelligent individuals who can operate in human society, they often learn the history and knowledge of human society; and after death, their existence will often be recorded in human history, rather than weird history that has no foundation from the beginning.

"The weirdness of the past and the weirdness of the present seem to be almost the same, but in fact they have nothing to do with each other. Don't you think this is similar to the state of the 'new human history' that the Gospel Institute is pursuing?"

"I see... Did the Gospel House's plan get inspiration from the weird?" Xiaowan suddenly realized, "But, if the humans of the new human history multiply and grow, and use archaeological technology to dig up traces of past humans' lives, restore our culture and technology, and reconnect with the old human history in this way, what should we do?
"We don't even need to use advanced archaeological technology. In the field of mysticism, 'similarity' itself can bring power, just like imitating the behavior of gods can gain the corresponding power of protection. The human beings of the future are of the same race as the human beings of today, and the highly inspired ones among them may have hallucinations and dreams related to the history of the old mankind...

“Is it really possible to completely wipe out the culture and ideas of old human history?”

Number 7 admitted, "You are right. This is a very difficult thing. At least when our Tai Sui Army left the Gospel Institute, the Gospel Institute was also arguing about this issue.

"One of the effective methods they came up with at the time was to use genetic engineering technology to change the genome of future humans, turning them into a completely different kind of new life, and then use brain science or soul magic technology to adjust the spiritual self-cognition of future humans... I don't know if this idea has been abandoned, or if it has been further developed..."

Hearing this, Xiaowan showed a chilled expression.

Genetic engineering technology and brain science... When I caught these two keywords, I suddenly recalled the Luoshan branch base under Mingzhuo that I had once attacked.

The transcendentals there mainly study genetic science and brain science.

Is this just a coincidence? Or... is there some kind of potential connection between Mingzhu and Gospel House?
Huang Quan, who is active in the modern world, is Ming Zhuo's mentor... Come to think of it, if I were Huang Quan, as a human-god who came from the afterlife, and I had such a connection with Ming Zhuo, and I also knew that Ming Zhuo was scratching his head and going crazy in order to enter the afterlife... how could I not try to contact Ming Zhuo?

Assuming Mingzhuo had contact with Huangquan, when did it happen? Was it after he was defeated by me? Or had he had contact with Huangquan before? If it was the latter, he probably had already found a way to enter the afterlife, so why did he attack Ma Zao?
Could it be that Huang Quan used the "way to enter the afterlife" as bait to make a request that Ming Zhuo could not agree to - such as becoming Luo Shan's traitor? And Ming Zhuo did not want to be controlled by Huang Quan, so he tried to capture Ma Zao?

Can it be said that the reason why Mingzhuo succumbed to me so easily was that he already had Huangquan as a "retreat to solve the problem of life countdown" at that time?
While I was thinking, No. 7 looked at me and said, "Well, let's get back to the topic at the beginning -

"As long as we can break into Huangquan Gospel Temple and snatch the technical data of the teleportation array connecting the world of the living and the world of the dead - 'Dushuo Mountain', and then hand it over to Luo Shan, it will definitely allow Luo Shan to enter the world of the dead. And this is what I want to ask you to do."

"Is this to save all of humanity?" I asked.

“If I say that my motives are so noble, I think it will be difficult to gain your trust. But even if it is just to let Luo Shan and Gospel Temple fight each other and create space for the Tai Sui Army to survive, I must do this.” No. 7 said.

"Haven't you ever thought that Luoshan might be another Gospel House?" I asked back, "They only need to slaughter 8 billion mortals to prevent the end of the world and keep themselves alive... On this basis, they also have the righteous cause of continuing their race. Do you think Luoshan is a kind organization that would choose a different path from the Gospel House even so?"

It goes without saying what the transcendentalists in Luoshan will think. Even in the hegemonic camp, there may be many people who either support or condone the crazy plan of the Gospel Institute.

It is true that hegemonists generally have a higher level of morality and hope to coexist with the common people; but on the other hand, they do not really believe that there is an equal relationship between themselves and the common people.

To put it bluntly, they believe that their kindness towards ordinary people is a kind of sympathy and charity - they could have become the rulers who control the life and death of mortals, but they humbly chose to live in peace with mortals. If it were not for their relatively high level of education and empathy, they would never have made such a choice... and what's even more unpleasant is that their ideas may be in line with reality.

However, in Luoshan, what is truly important is neither the views of the world-rulers nor the views of the transcendentalists, but the thoughts of the great impermanence that transcends everything.

Will the Great Impermanence choose to become the same as the gods and humans in the Gospel House?
as well as……

Should I choose to follow the same path?
