Chapter 527 Responsible
Avalon, the pronunciation of this word means a refuge in the elven civilization, and this pronunciation has been passed down to human civilization and has evolved into a place of trial. Lin En has never looked at Avalon properly. He has never seen this wonder built on a righteous god and sandwiched between cracks.
Although it looks small from the outside, like a thin thread.
But the space inside is actually very large.
At least Lin En stood on this giant tree of unknown height, and could not see the edge of the space at a glance, and could only vaguely glimpse the so-called chaotic changing colors. After the decline, Avalon suffered from the erosion of various phenomena from the astral world, a scene of doomsday wasteland.
The land was full of cracked gullies.
When the elven demigod took Lin En to walk on the edge of a solar prominence torrent projected from the broken sky, Lin En understood how this scarred land became like this.
"Due to lack of maintenance, Avalon has become what it is today. It used to be a grassland, and there were some centaurs and tiger clans living here, but I don't know when they all disappeared." The elven demigod explained lightly. It is not difficult to know from her that this refuge once had a very beautiful time like the Garden of Eden.
But as the elves who stayed here lost their vitality one by one, everything changed.
"Didn't they ask you for help?" Lin En asked curiously.
"I did, but at that time, the program judged that it was futile to rescue everything in Avalon, and it was an act of prolonging pain. Avalon must maintain its existence as long as possible and fulfill its original duties."
A mechanical coldness suddenly appeared in the words of the elven demigod.
The longer you live, the less active you are.
Intelligent life that can be born from civilization will involuntarily enter the ultimate three questions after having enough time. These three questions will determine whether a life can remain consistent after experiencing everything it can experience, and will not go to silence.
Who am I, where do I come from, and where will I go?
"You feel a little bit reluctant and think that what we are doing is wrong." The elven demigod slightly tilted her head, and she easily noticed Lin En's emotion that was not obviously exposed.
"No, I have no intention of judging right or wrong. I also know that compared with the promising civilization, the ecosystem in this shelter..."
Lin En couldn't bear it at the end, and he didn't know from what angle to say it. The program is not wrong, and it's not wrong to want to live. What's wrong is that you can't be sober and rational. Individuals can maintain their own sensibility, and that fresh sensibility is one of the foundations for the collective civilization not to go to extreme pathology. But the collective civilization cannot be sensible, that's too extravagant.
In this regard, the elven demigod very much agrees with No. 1's original decision to sail away.
"However, have you elves who stayed behind ever considered creating another elven civilization? With your technology or simply the demigod's operating power, there should be no obstacles, right?" Lin En suddenly found a place he had overlooked. If some humans took refuge in the shelter, then reproductive behavior would definitely be indispensable.
Since the elf civilization sailed to the star realm, there has been no news. Lin En thought that it must have failed. He didn't believe that the elf demigod had never thought of creating another elf civilization.
"Elves are born from mother trees, but they have emotions like you humans and can carry out sexual reproduction. Of course, they are not as wild as you. Our union will be carried out under the will of the mother tree, and the whole process will not produce the uncontrolled desires of humans."
"Creating life is not a difficult thing. As early as when our civilization was just starting, we were able to create all kinds of strange plant life, and they can all change according to our wishes. And the creation of animals, such as some of the creations we left underground in this world, has relevant knowledge."
"For us, the problem is not how to create, but how to cultivate. In our There is a theory in the universe that the possibilities of an individual are not infinite. He will consume his possibilities more or less in any matter, until all his possibilities are exhausted and he enters cold collapse or heat death. "
"The responsibility of civilization drives us not to create life in a shelter like Avalon. The life created must be guided and grow benignly in a normal environment. Unfortunately, we don't have such a luxurious environment here, nor do we have enough possibilities for a new life to ask for."
The elven demigod spoke for a long time, and from this passage, Lin En read what a responsible and somewhat inactive existence is.
He didn't ask again, why not put it in the surface world to cultivate such stupid words.
It can be seen that the elves' concept of civilization is almost sacred. In order to leave more development space for the brother civilization in the cradle, they don't hesitate to take away everything they can bring, and absolutely do not cause negative interference to the other civilization. They are so full of expectations that the two civilizations can move forward hand in hand in the astral world in the future.
Then there is no need to mention the consciousness of the elven demigod who is willing to stay in Avalon.
"...I deeply admire your awareness."
Looking at this dead land, the halo of the solar prominence stirred his shadow and made it swing messily. Lin En suddenly felt that he was gently hit by a silent greatness.
This greatness has long passed away, and now only a corner of the wreckage is left for Lin En to admire.
The sunset is infinitely beautiful, but it is almost dusk.
At this moment, Lin En suddenly became angry and felt a sigh of relief. He wanted to say that these long-eared people were stupid and that the continuity of civilization should be the first priority. However, only pursuing continuity without pursuing the bottom line of principles would only make civilization weak and sick.
After the trip to Avalon, if there are any regrets for Lynn.
He was probably sighing that he came to this world too late. If he had come earlier, he might have been able to see the radiance of the star realm lighting up the sky for five days and nights.
"Do you have any more questions?"
Faced with Lin En's admiration, the elf demigod didn't seem to have any reaction, and just asked the next question as if executing the program.
"I have another question. Elves also have intelligence and emotions. So has love ever appeared among elves?"
"…………"
This time the elf demigod was silent for a long time. Her silence reminded Lin En of the last time he was almost blown away, and he couldn't help but float a little farther away.
The elf demigod thought long enough for Linn to wonder if she had made a mistake like a robot before she slowly spoke.
"Now it's your test time, Lynn Moriarty."
