Chapter 432 Humanity
Huangquan Star is rich in trees such as locust trees, willow trees, cypress trees, banyan trees, and peach trees. It is lush green during the summer days, but becomes eerie at night, so ordinary people basically do not go out at night.
Standing in the starry sky, Wang Xuan overlooked the Yellow Spring Star and saw lavender colors falling on the earth. The beauty of the red spider lily looked quite elegant and charming from a distance.
Today, the Federation’s attitude towards the “survivors” is unclear. Even the natives of the Yellow Springs Realm, whose population has recovered significantly after two hundred years of reproduction on the Yellow Springs Star, have their freedom restricted.
You cannot leave Huangquan Star on your own initiative. You cannot use the high-tech products that have been used on the mother star for nearly fifty years. The resources for cultivation are limited, and practitioners on Earth cannot teach too many methods. It is best not to select disciples here.
Although there are seven or eight life-bearing planets in the Huangquan star system, Huangquan Star is the worst off and has become a place abandoned by God.
However, this was the only choice the Federation had. Not to mention the problems facing Earth's external civilization, just on Huangquan Star, one-third of the population did not agree with Earth's dominance, and regarded Earth's people as enemies, wishing to kill them as soon as possible.
There were rebellions every year, and they even fled to other planets, launching terrorist incidents, causing heavy losses and panic. How could the Earth Federation treat them well? They didn't dare, nor did they want to, for fear of raising a group of ungrateful people.
Although two-thirds of the population of this planet are willing to live a peaceful and stable life and do not want war to happen again.
There were faint fluctuations in several places in the starry sky. Wang Xuan nodded slightly. His eyes penetrated the space barrier and he could see the dignified and majestic immortal swallowing the free source particles in the universe while guarding the Yellow Spring Star.
The purpose is not to protect but to guard. Most of the planets where the "survivors" live, such as Huangquan Star, have become semi-prisons, and the entire planet is under surveillance.
"I'm Wang Xuan from Xianwu Mountain. I don't know your names." Wang Xuan took the initiative to greet them, and the strangers became acquaintances after a few interactions.
An Indian middle-aged man was accompanied by a large snake, a king cobra coiled around his body. He said, "Temple of Death, you can call me the King of Samsara."
"Li Taiping from the Li family." A tall yellow man smiled. The strong breath of life on his body formed a sharp contrast with the death power of the King of Samsara.
There was a man who neither smiled nor said coldly: "Slav Mountain, King of Strength." It was obvious that the Slavic young leader, the Bear King, was defeated by Wang Xuan, which made the Slavic Mountain monks have a bad impression of Wang Xuan.
Of course, intellectually speaking, they have great respect for young talents like Wang Xuan, who is so outstanding that they have to acknowledge him.
There was another sword master, who was the sword fairy of Tianjian Mountain, but unexpectedly she was a woman. Her eyes were as sharp as lightning and her brows were sharp.
"Tianjianshan, you can call me the Fourth Miss."
Wang Xuan thought about it and realized that this was Fang Shan's daughter. He guessed that she had some friendship with Zhao Hao, so she was neither cold nor warm to him, but of course there was no hatred towards him either.
When it comes to right or wrong, personal feelings are enough to determine a person's attitude. So what if you are a Taoist immortal? I just don't like you.
With one step forward, he was a million feet away. Wang Xuan's demeanor was no less than that of the True Immortal Dongxu. There were even rumors that he could suppress the peak of Dongxu, which made the True Immortals guarding this place regard him as one of their own.
If you want them to take you seriously, you must have combat power at the same level. Otherwise, no matter how high your status is, they will still treat you as a junior.
In the world of cultivation, the strong are respected and the accomplished are prioritized. Few people look at your age; they only look at your cultivation and combat power.
"Everyone, please be alert. If something happens to the Taoist Xianwu here, we will probably be affected as well." The True Immortal Li Taiping said.
The tragedy of the Valkyrie many years ago is a lesson for us. The alien races are extremely determined to kill the geniuses of the Earth, even at great cost.
After all, killing a celestial immortal today and causing the death of several cave immortals or even star masters is better than having a Taixu true immortal grow up in the future and killing dozens of their true immortals as stepping stones.
Especially for a young supreme being like Wang Xuan, who was a guaranteed immortal seed, even if a few Taixu True Immortals died to "exchange their seeds", the alien races would feel that they had made a huge profit, while Xianwu Mountain would suffer a huge loss.
"If a strong alien shows up, we will stop him and will not sit idly by. But if it is beyond our capabilities, then we can't do anything." Fourth Miss Fang said calmly, as if she was handling official business impartially without mixing in personal feelings.
"There are people in Xianwu Mountain who have taken care of these things, so we don't have to worry about them." Li Wang, who is as burly as a tiger, said indifferently.
……
When Wang Xuan met Li Daoming, he was in a bustling city. He opened a school and became the principal, with a group of students.
"Wang Xuan, we haven't seen each other for a long time." Li Daoming was giving a lecture to a group of teenagers aged twelve or thirteen while having a telepathic conversation with Wang Xuan.
His female secretary Chen Yu was assisting him. She was quite competent as an assistant teacher, but when she saw Wang Xuan, she didn't know how to start the conversation.
"You go to class, I'll sit for a while." Wang Xuan found a chair and sat down, watching the class.
As for the long-legged beauty Chen Yu, he ignored her. This woman used to be quite arrogant. She thought she was a genius and should work hard to practice and become a great man. She was also lukewarm towards Li Daoming.
Unfortunately, in Wang Xuan's opinion, her talent, beauty and intelligence were just so-so, and he had no interest in talking to her.
Of course, nowadays, anyone who can talk to the dignified Immortal Martial Daoist must be at least a celestial being. People with too low cultivation do not have that status, and even meeting him is a luxury.
Li Daoming did not stop the class because of Wang Xuan's arrival. Although he was unruly, he had a beginning and an end.
"Human is a broad concept. What I am discussing with you today is humanity, the way of man. The scope of the way of man is too broad, so I will only talk about part of it.
Human beings, people, and individuals are three levels from high to low. Human beings can rise to the level of civilization, people focus on the social level, and individuals, in my opinion, are the most worthy of consideration.
Wherever you are, that is your home, that is your nation, that is your civilization. Where your parents and children are is your home, not just a house. Traveling thousands of miles, even in a strange place, knowing familiar people is just as warm.
A nation is a group of people with the same cultural roots, not just blood. As long as people are alive, the nation will exist and the heritage will continue. If people die and there is no one to inherit, a nation can only exist in history books.
A civilization is created by the joint efforts of people of all ethnic groups. Only the collision of wisdom, the intersection of cultures, and the circulation of economy can create a brilliant civilization with the power of hundreds of millions of people.
Primitive civilization may only require one nation or a few hundred or a few thousand people to be born, but planetary civilization requires the efforts of all intelligent creatures on the entire planet. It does not focus on a single nation or even a single local civilization, because the lack of one or two will not be a problem.
Interstellar civilization is built up by planetary civilizations one after another. Huangquan Star is part of interstellar civilization. If separated from it, it is just a planetary civilization.
Although individuals are small, they are the cornerstone of nations and civilizations. "
A child asked: "Why do the rebels from Huangquan Star hate the people on Earth?"
This question was extremely bold, but the children wanted to know, and Li Daoming was willing to discuss it with them.
Li Daoming thought for a moment and replied, "When civilizations collide, they exclude other civilizations. If you want to destroy another civilization, war is the most direct, fastest, and most violent way.
The bearers of civilization are humans. The outbreak of war is said to be a clash of civilizations, but in fact it is still a contradiction between people and a conflict of interests.
The civilization of the Huangquan people has now merged with the Earth civilization to a large extent, but some people reject this phenomenon and have always hated the Earth civilization, so they can only be considered half a part.
Although civilization does not have its own will, it is exclusive. Of course, as the bearer of civilization, this exclusion will eventually fall on individuals, but this exclusion will not bring hatred.
The Yellow Spring Realm War back then was a clash of origins, which involved the fundamental interests of both civilizations as well as the interests of hundreds of millions of people. The outbreak of war was an inevitable result.
The struggle for interests depends on strength. If the Underworld is defeated, the Earth civilization will gain everything as the winner.
Today's rebels are not satisfied with the current distribution of interests and want to become those in power. They are not doing so in a civilized way, so we naturally will not treat them in a civilized way.
After the war that year, the Earth civilization wanted to make the Huangquan people one of its own. Instead of enslaving them, it gave them space to reproduce and thrive.
The rebels do not consider themselves part of Earth civilization, but instead believe that Earthlings have taken away what is rightfully theirs.
Actually, they don’t have shit.”
"Teacher, are you saying that the rebels' actions are for their own benefit?" someone asked.
"That's right." Li Daoming nodded. "The theories of civilization and nationality are too high and too big, but the bottom line is that they all depend on people. They don't live well, or they want to live better and gain more benefits, so they choose to riot.
In fact, the people who suffered the most from the riots were the ordinary people of Huangquan Star."
Each label and attribute of a person can be stripped off, added to, and even exist because of the existence of people.
Without people, everything created by people is meaningless. Words? Technological products? Who cares!
The problem of Huangquan Star ultimately falls on individuals. If they agree with Earth civilization, they will live in peace, become a part of it, and enjoy many benefits. If they do not agree, Earth civilization will naturally treat them as outsiders or even enemies, and will not give them any benefits, or even treat them violently.
Today, Huangquan Star, in the eyes of Earth civilization, is between the two.
"The way of man is to take from those who are not enough to give to those who are more than enough." Wang Xuan said, "People are greedy and always want to get more, but to get more, you need strength.
The weak are not entitled to ask for things from the strong just because they are weak. What you can get are things that you can grasp and hold on to tightly. "
Intelligence, military force, financial resources, and influence are all part of strength. Everything a person has comes from heaven and earth, and he himself is also a part of it. He can be born with nothing, but he can also have everything, as long as you can get it, you can also keep it.
"In fact, the problem of Huangquan Star is not a problem at all for Earth civilization. Instead, it is the people of Huangquan Star who should be worried." Wang Xuan said lightly.
"Make a quick decision on behalf of Huangquan Star, whether to become a part of Earth civilization or choose the path of two hundred years ago.
We have been waiting for your choice so that we can make up our mind on how to treat you.
If we wholeheartedly return to the Earth's civilization, we will be of one mind and one heart, belong to the same sky, and share the same set of rules.
If you want to leave, it's easy. Just build your own spaceship and leave this star field as far as possible. We won't stop you.
As for being like those rebels, wanting to grasp what they cannot grasp and what they should not reach out for, that is even simpler.
Huangquan Star did not exist two hundred years ago. If Earth civilization wanted it to disappear, it could do it easily. Two hundred years ago, Earth civilization could decide the life or death of the Huangquan Star people, and it can still do so now.
Killing three billion enemies on Huangquan Star is just like crushing an ant. You died quickly and we solved a problem. Isn't it a win-win situation?"
Wang Xuan suddenly smiled, and the smile on his lips made the 107 students in the classroom shudder, and they felt cold from the soles of their feet to the top of their heads.
