I, a Celestial Dragon!

So what about this world? How did the lunar craters appear?

While Gawain was thinking, Im happened to point at the meteorite crater in front of him and said.

“The Uranus we built together stopped here. In order to allow Uranus to gather strength to send us to the giant world, the takeoff of Uranus caused considerable damage to the moon.

This is the relic left over from those years. Later, Nika seemed to use elasticity to return to the moon from the earth several times. I didn’t come back here because our life’s efforts are to leave here.

Since you're leaving, don't look back easily, right?"

Yim turned to look at Gawain, as if waiting for Gawain's evaluation.

Facing Im's expectation, Gawain nodded and said.

"Maybe, but in any case, being able to come back and have a look is special for you, isn't it?

Although I am not someone like D's Will who yearns for extreme freedom and extreme happiness.

However, the joy is always less than the pain.”

Having said that, Gawain took a step forward and walked towards the meteorite crater.

In the blink of an eye he was in the middle of the crater.

Standing here and looking at the vast world, I just feel that this vast world is so beautiful.

Even though there are thick clouds covering that place, compared with the hellish environment on the moon, the little bit of aqua blue and emerald green revealed by this huge world is enough to drive the people on the moon crazy!

Noticing Gawain's gaze, Im smiled knowingly.

“Yeah, standing here and looking at the huge world, it’s like heaven.

At this moment, you should be able to understand why our ancestors longed for that world so much.

But, haha, no matter how beautiful the environment is, it is meaningless. When the Devil Fruit Tree grows and there are more and more Devil Fruit users, the environment on the moon will be no worse than that on Earth!

110,000 years ago, using the power of devil fruits, our ancestors gradually conquered the moon. They even transformed it into a beautiful world that was as prosperous as the Sabaody Archipelago.

but?

When no one will starve to death on the moon, and when people’s living conditions will get better and better.

When everyone can afford meat for every meal, when people can even grow flowers and wheat at home, when they can wear beautiful clothes.

Do you think that was really the Garden of Eden?

When humanity as a whole is suffering enough, people are united, appreciate sacrifice and admire heroes.

But when people are full, they become greedy and competitive, and everyone wants to be better and superior to others.

It took a full four thousand years to transform the planet's environment, but only a few hundred years to destroy it.

Since the birth of the Devil Fruit Tree 110,000 years ago, the moon has experienced sixty-two devastating blows...

Every time it starts and ends the same way.

When people could no longer survive, they spontaneously united, overthrew the previous rulers, and then resumed their efforts to protect the planet's environment.

Every time people succeed again and the moon finally becomes beautiful.

They all remind themselves that they must use history as a mirror and never repeat the same mistakes.

But eventually, people started to compete with each other and split apart, and then wars broke out until the wars destroyed the planet again.

After the sixty-second reconciliations and wars, the twenty-one families led by me, Nika and D finally stopped considering rebuilding the moon as their lifelong pursuit.

After once again ending the civil war on the moon, this time we decided not to restore the moon's ecology, but instead set our sights on the giant world.

We have studied it for a long time and finally found that even if we go back to take power, it will be difficult for us to prevent the moon from following its past cycle.

In this case, it is better to preserve the harsh environment of the moon and regard it as the last hope of mankind, while sending most people to the huge world.

On the one hand, a huge world can bring pioneering and enterprising spirit to human beings. On the other hand, the volume of the huge world is billions of times larger than that of the moon. Even if we are in a huge world, it will also split and collapse. The collapse of such a large volume will be much slower than that of such a small place as the moon, right?

With this idea in mind, we chose to leave the moon, and at the same time took away the moon’s hope, the Devil Fruit Tree!

Without the help of the devil fruit, even though there were some technological products from the war period, they were moved away.

Even if the remaining moon people want to rise, their speed will be countless times slower than ours.

At the same time, I did prove one of my original guesses.

The giant world is really too big. Even those who possess the power of devil fruits cannot do anything quickly.

You see, after the moon came into possession of the Devil Fruit, it went through more than sixty cycles of destruction and reconstruction over a period of sixty thousand years.

This situation happened on the giant world. Although the giant world has also experienced many crises due to human problems, up to now, in the past 50,000 years, the giant world has not even completed one cycle.

In addition, the people on the moon still look simple and honest. If we appear in front of them at this time, they will definitely worship us as gods to rely on and believe in.

They believe in us, but they also don’t believe in us, because although they are living in hell all the time and are in pain, they are ambitious!

Compared to even the gods that appear before their eyes, they still trust themselves more.

They have more dignity and ambition than the slaves of the great world!"

Chapter 630 Battle on the Moon

“The world has always been extremely cruel to life.

A growing rat pack will become intoxicated and disillusioned at its peak, and then embark on the path of self-destruction.

In a large herd of deer, the elders in the herd will consciously end their own lives.

It is instinct that drives animals to make certain decisions.

But what drives humans to always fight against instinct is called desire!

Desire made human beings what they are. It was desire that made human beings not satisfied with eating raw meat and drinking blood, and thus opened the door to wisdom and civilization.

But desire is a double-edged sword.

When we are at our lowest, desire propels us up.

And when we are at the peak, our desires prevent us from descending!

Humans have overcome biological instincts with desires. Such a result will certainly advance the progress of human civilization, but it will also make humans selectively ignore the devastating crisis that the entire ethnic group is constantly facing!

Although animals are only called animals by humans, their wisdom is far from enough to overcome their instincts, unless they encounter a disaster such as the destruction of the entire planet or an irresistible huge change in the environment.

As long as the unavoidable disasters mentioned above do not occur, it is difficult for animals to be driven by instinct to embark on a path of complete destruction.

Because while instinct makes animals ignorant, it also opens the door to lasting continuity for them.

But humans, who think they are superior to animals, have long ago embarked on a different path from animals.

Every road is destined to have an end.

But the end point may not necessarily be the same.

What you gain, you lose.

If we gain the past, we are destined to lose the future.

After all, since ancient times, no matter which ethnic group has occupied the climax of the era, the only outcome left for them is destruction.

The path of human inheritance may seem to be full of flowers and brocade, but in reality it is just a blur.

No matter how glorious we are now, after millions of years, all that remains of what we have created will only be words carved on stone.

However, the only difference between humans and animals is not that humans possess so-called wisdom.

Having wisdom, being able to invent, and using creation to challenge nature is indeed a certain achievement, but no matter what, from the perspective of the entire human race, what is the difference between our so-called inventions and animals learning to use sticks to smash stones?

After all, compared with our own continuation.

No matter how great the tools we create, they are just tools.

Because they are our tools, we become noble?

I just no longer feel humble.

And the real difference between us and animals.

Haha, the only real difference between us is that animals are destroyed by natural disasters, while humans are destroyed by their own creations.

We are far better at destroying ourselves than animals are.

So, once I saw that, I knew.

I can no longer promise mankind enough freedom!"

Yim spoke eloquently, and Gawain had to admit that what Yim said made a lot of sense.

I have to admit that as a person who has survived for more than 50,000 years.

Im's understanding of the world has long gone beyond the one-sidedness and reached the essence.

Even if a pig lived for 50,000 years, he would probably become Zhu Bajie.

Not to mention old guys like Im who have ruled mankind from ancient times to the present.

Philosophy has always been an undefinable subject. Wise men are always studying it, but foolish men never understand it.

But whether Im is wise or foolish.

When the line of life is measured in tens of thousands of years, the traces left by time have evolved into the highest level of philosophy.

After all, the essence of philosophy is to think, understand and see.

You see, philosophy is something that cannot even be discussed in terms of right or wrong.

Therefore, Gawain would never refute Im's words, because there is no right or wrong in such words.

That is just a 50,000-year-old man's understanding of the world. How can anyone with only a few decades of experience be qualified to discuss right and wrong with a 50,000-year-old monster?

However, the fact that there is no right or wrong does not mean that Gao Wen will not express his own opinions.

The world you see for fifty thousand years is still the world, and the world you see for a moment... is still the world.

I saw him first nodded slightly, and then shook his head.

“It’s extreme, it’s really extreme.

It seems to you that everything in life is considered for the consequences for the entire human race.

But wisdom is not such an inconvenient thing.

The life of an ant is also a life, and human beings don’t have to live too long either.

Animals are more willing to choose sacrifice when they are in trouble, but selfishness is actually the most beneficial choice for the organisms themselves.

Humanity does not necessarily have to become a whole, and maintaining the survival of humanity as a whole is not extremely important to those who are already living in the world.

We do not lose the opportunity to master ourselves just because we are human beings first.

And instinct, the instinct you mentioned is not so much individual instinct as it is group instinct in your mind.

But the group...

What determines that we must rely on the group to exist? What requires us to pay and sacrifice for the group?

As for the heirs of D's will, I do find them troublesome, with their values ​​and pursuit of freedom and happiness, as well as their destined lazy character.

How can I sincerely admire that kind of people?

I particularly dislike their happiness-first personality, but I really appreciate their optimism!

It is unnecessary for human beings to be happy all the time. The spirit of pursuing adventure like D will only make it easier for people without talent to die in the corners they may not pursue.

But, Im, don't ignore the significance of optimism.

Even if human civilization is indeed heading towards decline and self-destruction, we must admit that we have created our own splendor in the process of destruction.”

Having said that, Gawain squatted down and gently rubbed the dust off the ground.

This was his first time on the moon, and even though there were more important things ahead, he couldn't help but feel a little curious.

Gawain continued as he felt the texture of the lunar soil.

“This is my first time on the moon. It has given me many surprises. Meeting the ancestors from ancient times also makes me feel that it is very meaningful.

Even though they have lost you, they are still surviving tenaciously. Even now, even though they have completely lost the inheritance of civilization because of your departure, they are still developing their own unique civilization.

And in the meantime, I guess they on the moon don’t have you guiding and helping them behind the scenes.
