Chapter 549

Yes, I've made up my mind to find him; I believe he can help me rebel against the company.

After that, it was Zhadeweike's later life; Xing started helping him search for the puzzle pieces, and when he touched the first piece, a voice of emotion resonated in this space.

"Once upon a time, in an era when worlds were isolated from each other, some civilizations already possessed weapons sufficient to destroy themselves. Fear of power led them to establish complex rules and laws, striving to keep the self-destruct switch from falling into the hands of madmen or thugs."

After that, it was Zhadeweike's later life; Xing started helping him search for the puzzle pieces, and when he touched the first piece, a voice of emotion resonated in this space.

"It is puzzling: as weapon power increases, the originally complex rules meant to restrict abuse become ever simpler. When the direction of the blade turns from inward to outward, people's attitude toward violence unanimously becomes tolerant."

"If on some distant world, myriad beings are being ravaged by fire, their screams echoing through the heavens—but for us lying beneath a tree gazing at the stars, it is merely that someone has plucked one star from the myriad stars overhead."

"——" just dash, no.

Dragon Clan.

"To pluck one star from the myriad stars overhead… what a cruel yet romantic saying."

Kaisar.

Eastern Capital.

Dragon Slaying.

Company.

"Before, he had never carefully considered this issue, but now the curtain of day lays the bloody reality before them, forcing them to reconsider why things have come to this."

"Actually, it's easy to understand." Chu Zihang spoke lightly, "Any country must internally monopolize the legitimate use of violence, and any armed force must follow extremely cumbersome legal procedures. This set of complex rules is intended to prevent the abuse of power and guarantee social stability; with the blade pointing inward, ultimately the target of violence is one's own people, and the purpose is to maintain 【order】."

Chu Zihang said expressionlessly, "But in the cosmic galaxy, there exists no power that can legally monopolize violence; the various planets are in a state of 'anarchy'. In this state, the survival and safety of planetary civilizations are the supreme criterion; when a threat is sensed, the first response should lean toward efficiency rather than procedural justice. If the rules for using violence are too cumbersome… the rules would instead become a stumbling block to self-defense. When the blade points outward, the purpose of violence is survival and victory."

Caesar nodded thoughtfully: "So… no wonder the company wants to establish an order led by itself; only with order existing, when these planets encounter conflict, the first thought is not to want to 'nuke' the other side, but to seek justice within this order."

Imaginary Number Pulse.

"When the second piece of the puzzle is found, the Voice of Heart and Mind sounds again: 'Wisdom, how bewildering a term. Some think it is the answer to all problems, the culmination of all virtues. Yet among the galaxy, how many extraordinarily wise individuals suffer endless worldly troubles. To get to the root, is it because geniuses are too arrogant, or because the mediocre are overly envious? No one can say for sure.'"

"There is only one point that needs no debate: wisdom can coexist with selfish desires."

Zan Da Er.

Imaginary Number Tree.

Imaginary Number Theory.

"When I was a child, the first time I encountered imaginary number theory, the image that appeared in my mind was not a towering tree; it was a dense forest. Everything I saw made me utterly unable to believe that the foundation of the universe is a selfless giant tree, voluntarily sacrificing and nourishing billions of leaves."

"I would rather believe that each world is a seed carried by the wind, which by chance landed on this land, then began to take root and grow on its own, eventually forming this forest."

"The universe does not care about us—the universe merely exists, and gazes."

Qin Dynasty Bright Moon.

But we also have "the bright moon of the Qin dynasty" as a known work; many translations keep it as "Qin Shi Ming Yue". However the rule says we should not romanize unless it's a person's name or place name that is a bare surname/meaningless proper noun. So we must translate meaning. Let's adopt that.

Uncle, Yue'er, what is he saying?

"Tianming, it's okay if you don't understand; the universe they inhabit is far away from us. I just didn't expect..."

Gai Nie.

"Uncle, what does this sentence mean again?" Tianming grew more bewildered: "Why are heaven and earth not benevolent? What kind of dog is a straw dog?"

Gao Yue.

Mr. Zhadeweike, Mr. Zan Da Er.

"Oh oh! I get it!" Tianming, as if suddenly enlightened, sprang up from the grass: "The universe doesn't care about us, but we must care for ourselves! So we should treat ourselves a little better, and others a little better, because this is our own business!"

Although it's unclear why Tianming suddenly thought of this, Gai Nie's mouth still couldn't help but curl up slightly: "Tianming, you've grown up."

Luosigumu

Dr. Zhadeweike

""Screw Gum... finally, I finally found you." Zhadeweike trembled all over."

""We haven't seen each other for many years, Dr. Zhadeweike. Please forgive me, I cannot sincerely say 'I am sorry' to you—for I know you had already foreseen this outcome."

Zhadeweike shook his head: "Everything I have experienced is the result of my own sowing... after so many years, I no longer need to be reminded of this. I now need help, Mr. Screw..."

Luo Si Gu Mu placed hand on chest: "You have gone through tribulations and still want to talk to me… you must have nowhere left to go. If needed, Screw Star can become your temporary refuge."
