Even though most of them have been wiped out, there are still many remnants left on Earth who have been abandoned. These remnants are still far superior to the Super Soldier Corps and the surviving nations, given Earth's current technology.
Qi Lin's words were like a bucket of cold water poured on the flames that had just been ignited by everyone.
Yes, they are soldiers, not commanders. They are used to following orders, used to Dukao and Lianfeng planning everything for them. Once they leave this system, they are like a swarm of headless flies.
"Then learn it yourself!"
A clear, slightly arrogant voice rang out.
Lena walked over with her arms crossed. She glanced at everyone and curled her lip slightly.
"Look at you guys, so pathetic. Without Dukao, you don't know how to fight? Are you three-year-olds? Can't you survive without your wet nurse?"
"Lena, stop making sarcastic remarks!"
Liu Chuang stared at her.
"I'm not just saying this to make fun of you."
Lena walked up to him and met his gaze without fear.
“I ask you, is Dukao’s command really that irreplaceable? In the Battle of Tianhe, who braved the heavy fire to bring down the Taotie’s flagship? In the Battle of Juxia, who fought the Demon Queen to a standstill in the sky? It was you, it was Ge Xiaolun, it was me. Not Dukao sitting in the command room and just talking.”
She glanced around, her voice rising a few decibels:
"What he can offer is nothing more than intelligence and logistics. We can gather intelligence ourselves. As for logistics, the entire Earth is our support! What we truly lack is not just one person..."
"General, it's not a reason we approve of!"
“In the past, our reason was to protect our country, but Ducao mixed in his own agenda, turning it into a breeding ground for treacherous elements. Now, we just need to remove those agendas and make our reason pure again!”
Lena's words were firm and resounding.
Although she usually appeared nonchalant, as the former chief god of the planet Lieyang, her understanding of war and power far surpassed that of anyone present. (ahfi) Although she had been a puppet, she was still, after all, seated in the highest position.
"Pure reason..."
Ge Xiaolun pondered these words, his eyes growing brighter and brighter.
"Yes."
Lena snapped her fingers.
"Our war has only one goal—to protect the Earth. Anyone who tries to cause trouble on this planet, whether they are Taotie, demons, or whatever else, will be wiped out! It's that simple."
"well said!"
Liu Chuang slapped his thigh.
"That's exactly what we should do! To hell with empty theories and decadent freedom, whoever touches our home, we'll kill them!"
"But General Du, he..."
Cheng Yaowen was still somewhat hesitant, after all, he was a descendant of Denuo.
"He has his principles, and we have ours."
Rose spoke, her voice calm yet firm, "Those who walk different paths cannot make plans together. From this day forward, the Super Soldier Corps will fight only for Earth."
Her words brought this debate to a close.
The Super Soldier Corps, a super team created by Dukao, began to seek ideological independence for the first time after experiencing the collapse of their faith. They were no longer tools, no longer pawns; they wanted to become the masters of their own destiny.
In the command center, Dukao watched the crowd regroup on the deck through the monitor and listened to their impassioned declarations. His face showed no anger, only a deathly pale expression.
Lianfeng stood beside him and asked softly:
"General, should we... go and talk to them?"
Dukao slowly shook his head, his voice hoarse as if two pieces of sandpaper were rubbing together:
"It's no use, Lianfeng. People's hearts... have fallen."
He meticulously planned for tens of thousands of years, from Denor to Earth; he calculated everything, except for the human heart. He thought that as long as he gave these young people enough power and a grand enough goal, he could make them work for him.
He was wrong.
He didn't understand that for the people on this blue planet, the most powerful force was never some super gene, but the land beneath their feet and the home they wanted to protect.
Just then, the sky, which had just returned to calm, lit up again.
This time, there was no dazzling light that was too bright to look at directly. Instead, it was like an invisible blackboard, with starlight as chalk, being used by an unseen hand to write new content.
Everyone raised their heads subconsciously.
In the seaside villa, Feng Shayan looked at the revitalized Super Soldier Corps on the screen and a genuine smile appeared on her face.
"Sir, it seems they... have figured it out themselves."
“This is just the first step.”
Zhou Ye took a sip of his iced cola and let out a satisfied sigh.
"They found their initial motivation for fighting, but that's not enough. Passion alone cannot win a cosmic war. Their understanding of the universe is still limited to the theology instilled in them by Dukao."
"theology?"
The sand gull was somewhat puzzled.
“Angels, demons, death, supreme gods… all of these are based on the classification of genes and divine bodies in Dukao’s system. This is essentially a high-level idealism.”
Zhou Ye put down the can of cola, his eyes becoming deep.
"They thought war was a contest between gods, a clash of wills. But they were wrong."
"Then... what is the essence of war?"
"It's physics."
Zhou Ye said calmly, "It is a manifestation of the basic laws of the universe. Just as water flows downwards and heat is transferred from high temperature to low temperature, war, the rise and fall of civilizations, and even the birth and fall of gods all follow a deeper, colder set of physical laws."
He pointed to the sky.
"Now, it's time to give these kids who have just found their way into the humanities a real science lesson."
The "blackboard writing" is appearing line by line.
[Discussion Question 5: The Reality of the Universe.]
[It is known that real-world civilizational activities, such as technological explosions, interstellar travel, and large-scale wars—events involving the directed flow of energy—lead to the accumulation of negative entropy in the imaginary space.]
[It is known that when negative entropy accumulates, a amount of collapse energy proportional to the amount of negative entropy is generated in the imaginary space; therefore, collapse energy is also called "imaginary internal energy".]
[Given: From a mathematical perspective, the imaginary internal energy, belonging to the collapsed dimension, and the real internal energy, which is the thermal representation of four-dimensional spacetime as a divergent dimension, are reciprocals of each other.]
[Question: When the development of a civilization inevitably accelerates the accumulation of "Honkai energy," ultimately leading to "Honkai" capable of destroying itself.]
How can this civilization save itself?
Chapter 435 The Physics Lesson of the Universe—What is Collapse?
As the last word froze in the sky, the entire Earth fell into an even more eerie silence than before.
If the previous question, "raising Gu," was a judgment on the ethics and morality of the Super God Academy, it was full of humanistic questioning.
This question, however, is something from a completely different dimension.
Imaginary space? Negative entropy? Collapse energy? Collapsing dimensions?
Each word alone is enough to give even the world's top physicists a headache. But when they are put together to form an ultimate question about the fate of civilization, they bring a fear that goes far beyond war itself—a fear on a deeper level.
It's a feeling of insignificance and powerlessness when facing the unknown and the ultimate laws of the universe.
On the lawn of the Super God Academy, the soldiers of the Super Soldier Company, who were just excited, all looked up and had the same expression as "old people on the subway looking at their phones".
"What the hell?"
Liu Chuang rubbed his eyes, looked at it again, and finally turned to ask Zhao Xin, who was also looking completely bewildered.
"Is this written in Chinese? I can't understand a single word."
Zhao Xin clicked his tongue:
“Brother Chuang, I… I think I might need to go back to school and start from the first grade of elementary school.”
“Negative entropy…I think I’ve heard that term in my university physics class,”
Ge Xiaolun frowned, straining to search through his knowledge base, which he had long since forgotten.
"It seems to represent... the degree of order in a system? Entropy is chaos, and negative entropy is order?"
"And what the hell is Honkai energy?"
Qilin murmured,
"It doesn't sound like anything good."
"Isn't the last sentence the key point?"
Rose's expression was unusually solemn.
"Does it mean that the faster a civilization develops, the more it accumulates something called Honkai energy, and then this energy will destroy the civilization? Isn't that a vicious cycle?"
"Damn it! Doesn't this mean that developing technology and pursuing interstellar travel is suicidal?"
Liu Chuang finally understood a little, and his eyes widened. "Then what's the point of development? We might as well all go back to the primitive society and practice slash-and-burn agriculture!"
Lena didn't participate in their discussion; she just stared intently at the words in the sky, and for the first time, her golden eyes revealed an emotion called "horror."
"So that's how it is... so that's how it is..." she murmured absentmindedly.
"The Heavenly Dao... those incomplete records in the Heavenly Dao computer, so that's what they refer to..."
Ancient texts from the planet Lieyang contain vague records describing an ultimate catastrophe, a "cleansing mechanism" of the universe itself. This mechanism is triggered when a civilization reaches a critical point, leading to a devastating blow. The ancestors of Lieyang called this "divine retribution" and expended enormous resources to build the "Celestial Tower," attempting to calculate and circumvent it.
But they never understood the underlying principles.
Now, Zhou Ye, this mysterious "teacher," has presented this ultimate mystery that has plagued the Lieyang civilization for hundreds of thousands of years to the entire universe in a way that is almost textbook-like.
This is not divine punishment, nor is it divine retribution.
This is physics.
It is cold and ruthless, a universal law.
The atmosphere in the command room of the Super God Academy was beyond frozen; it was as if an absolute vacuum had been created.
Lianfeng stood in front of the main screen, with all the servers behind her running at maximum power. Countless data streams refreshed on the virtual screen in front of her like a waterfall, attempting to analyze and model the "Honkai Energy" theory proposed by Zhou Ye.
