Purgatory Artist-Chapter 430: Play the rest
Chapter 430 - Play the rest
"We don't want prosthetics!"
"Science and technology is a sin!"
"All the races of the void are created equal!"
The man on the podium angrily roared.
Every time he roared out a sentence, the crowd below would erupt into an enthusiastic response.
This scene was being played out all over the human world.
While everything was in full swing.
Everyone's personal screen then turned on, displaying the corresponding description:
[The Central Artificial Intelligence has officially registered:]
[Do you truly oppose the direction of development of the world created by the Holy Angel of Repentance Yana?]
The people who participated in the assembly didn't even need to think before shouting in unison:
"That's right! Yana is the one who should repent the most! "
Another line of text appeared on the screen:
[Do you believe that the development of science and technology is a sin?]
"Yes! Of course! "
[Do you believe that prosthetics and evolutionary methods are not needed to help humanity increase their fighting strength and defeat all kinds of diseases?]
"We are people! Not machines! Of course we are "
[Do you believe that all the races of the void are equal?]
"That's right, no one has the right to conquer other races, nor the right to kill others! We want peace, not war! "
[Do you confirm that the above is your true opinion?]
"I confirm!"
As soon as they finished speaking.
One by one, the prosthetics detached from the people's bodies.
"What's going on?" someone asked in surprise.
[Do you believe that prosthetics and evolutionary methods are not needed to help humanity increase their fighting strength and defeat all kinds of diseases] another line of text appeared on the screen.
The person who spoke was stunned.
In the sky.
Shuttles appeared one after another.
These shuttles quickly landed around the assembly hall.
A dignified female voice resounded from each screen:
[The creator of the current technological world has delegated his authority]
[All those who oppose science and technology are allowed to board the shuttles and leave this technological world to live in the undeveloped Barren Lands]
The crowd went silent.
Suddenly, the man on the podium angrily roared:
"That's not right! This technological world was created by all of us! "
The dignified female voice replied:
[According to the Central Artificial Intelligence's statistics, 99.985% of those who oppose Yana haven't made any progress in science and technology]
"Of course! We oppose science and technology! It has brought about a spiritual desert! "Someone shouted loudly.
The dignified feminine voice spoke: [According to that entity's explanation, the spiritual desert is the desert of all living beings. The purpose of technology is to ensure survival, it has nothing to do with this. Everyone, please do not shift your responsibility onto technology. If you are still dissatisfied ...]
[Congratulations, you don't have to endure technology anymore.]
[The Wilderness is now yours. Please do not develop any technology. Work hard to build your spiritual home.]
The people holding all kinds of protest signs were stunned.
Before long.
One after another, shuttles landed in the Wilderness.
The people were let down.
The dignified female voice rang out again.
[Attention please!]
[All personnel, please take note. Currently, there is no technology in the Wilderness. However, in order to allow you to continue living, the necessary equipment has already been constructed.]
The crowd looked around.
Countless robots were building houses and clearing fields.
Suddenly.
Someone raised his arm and shouted, "We don't need any help from technology!"
It was quiet all around.
No one responded to him.
Everyone stared at him coldly.
The man froze, then loudly shouted: "This was our choice in the first place, don't you agree!?"
Someone pushed him and cursed: "Damn it, we don't have any knowledge, skills, or even seeds for food. If you don't want it, scram, don't stay here"
The man took a few steps back and coldly scoffed: "A bunch of trash, you think this little bit of trouble is enough to stop you? We were originally going to walk a completely different path of civilization, to let the infinite races of the void know that humanity is a race full of equality and spiritual power "
The more he spoke, the more spirited he became, straightening his back, preparing to give a speech.
A small shuttle landed in front of him.
The dignified female voice rang out again:
[Human member 420102478537, are you sure you want to give up on all supplies?]
"Yes! I don't need your fake pity "the man replied.
The dignified female voice spoke again: [Please board the shuttle and leave this place. By the way, anyone who gives up on supplies can follow him to another Wilderness] frёeweɓηovel.coɱ
The man quickly boarded the shuttle and loudly declared: "Come, we'll give up everything and walk our own path!"
The crowd looked at him, then at the robots that were clearing the fields, then at the buildings that were slowly taking shape.
Complete silence.
At the same time.
On the other side.
"Isn't this a bit too much?" Yana asked in a low voice.
"How is it too much?" Liu Ping asked.
"A lot of people don't understand these things at all, they were only incited to do a few bad things before being chased out of civilized society. Wouldn't this create a negative effect?" Yana asked.
Liu Ping smiled.
On his other shoulder, the white cat scoffed: "A woman who only lived for 20 years to become a Divinity, you've grown so quickly that you don't understand the dark side of humanity"
If Liu Ping had said that, Yana might have let it go.
But the one who spoke was Zhao Chanyi.
Yana immediately retorted: "You're just a cat, how could you understand the dark side of humanity?"
This time, the white cat surprisingly didn't get angry.
She looked at the void of space with a cold expression as if observing something. After a while, it finally spoke:
"Protests are happening all over the world, the slogans are the same, countless public facilities have been destroyed, yet humanity's upper echelons haven't taken any direct measures to deal with them, do you think this is normal?"
Yana was a bit surprised.
The white cat narrowed her eyes and spoke in a low voice: "The ones who benefit from technology are all humans, who would want to overturn such an era? I don't even need to think about it to know that there's something fishy going on here "
Liu Ping reached his hand out and formed a hand seal:
"It's been too long since I've used a Cultivation-type spell. I'll summon the souls here, Chan Yi, go take a look at the leaders"
"Can I use Soul Reading?" the white cat licked her paws and asked.
"Of course" Liu Ping answered.
"Then I'll be going"
The white cat flashed, flew off from Liu Ping's shoulder and disappeared without a trace.
...
In the wilderness.
A few hundred people were standing on the barren land that stretched as far as the eye could see.
"Very well, from now on, we're going to build our own civilization, we're not going to rely on technology anymore, we're going to rely on our own strength!"
The leader loudly declared.
5-6 people followed suit, feeling a bit excited.
The others exchanged glances.
One of them asked: "But there's nothing to eat, nothing to drink, can we do it on our own?"
"Don't worry"
The leader took out a handful of seeds from his chest and scattered them on the ground.
The seeds seemed to have sentience, automatically burrowing into the ground, then began to sprout and grow into trees, blooming and bearing fruit in just a few breaths' time.
A gust of wind blew.
More and more seeds flew out from the trees, scattering across the wilderness.
More and more trees sprouted from the ground.
"A miracle ..."
"Oh my god, I can't believe it"
"This is a miracle!"
Everyone cheered.
The leader exchanged glances with the others, then nodded.
Just as he was about to say something, a wolf suddenly appeared from the wilderness.
This beast was about a meter tall, with sharp fangs. Over a dozen of its own kind followed closely behind it, slowly approaching the group.
The leader's expression changed and shouted: "Everyone, attack together, kill them"
"All races of the void are born equal" someone muttered.
Someone else immediately shouted: "This is a beast, it wants to eat us! What's the point of talking about equality at a time like this, come, attack together! "
The group became tense.
Just as the wolves were about to attack, an arrow came from above and struck the wolf's head.
The other wolves all howled in pain, then turned around and fled into the wilderness.
"Who saved us?" the leader loudly asked.
From the sky, several beautiful elves landed and answered: "Humans, we were moved by your ideals, so we came to lend you a hand"
Void races!
These are other races that came from the void!
"See, everyone, even the elves acknowledge us, what do we have to be afraid of?" the leader triumphantly declared.
Everyone cheered.
The elves bowed to the leader and asked: "Why are you stranded in the wilderness?"
"Because we don't want technology to corrupt nature's soul, we want pure life, not cold machines" the leader answered.
"Very well, your thoughts are the same as ours, we will definitely help you rebuild your home" the elves declared.
Among the others, a woman quickly stepped forward, crying as she knelt in front of the elves: "Humans need your help! They shouldn't be ruled by technology! "
The elves nodded.
"Don't worry, we will help you defeat those of your kind who have lost their spirituality, we will make you the rulers of this world" the leader of the elves declared.
The human leader immediately said: "This is such a historic day, we should call this day"
A cold female voice came from the tree above their heads:
"The day of selling our souls"
As soon as she said that.
The elves' expressions changed and shouted: "Who's there!?"
A white cat jumped down from the tree, took a few steps forward, then turned into a beautiful young woman.
"Roping, dividing, infiltrating, occupying, subverting, I don't even need to use Soul Reading and you've already confessed"
While saying that, she lazily yawned and shook her head: "How boring, these are all leftovers from the years when Liu Ping first joined the Demonic Path"
A Blade appeared in her hand, while a towering aura erupted from her body.
"Go to hell, everyone."
