Chapter 289 - Chapter 289 Chapter 289 Apocalypse-level Spiritual Weapon

Chapter 289: Chapter 289: Apocalypse-level Spiritual Weapon Chapter 289: Chapter 289: Apocalypse-level Spiritual Weapon Watching the scenes in front of her, Ms. Zhong was nearly driven mad by this bizarre world!

She didn’t want to think about why humans could feel superior in someone else’s territory. Listening to Andofo’s terms made her angrier by the moment, to the point where she wanted to fiercely slap it to correct those distorted values.

You can tell a lot about a child from age three, and a lot about an adult from age seven, but how could you correct such twisted values? Especially in this kind of environment, fundamentally speaking, this child was beyond saving!

“Let’s go,” sighed Ms. Zhong. She stepped out of the doorway, deciding to ignore Andofo from then on.

Without a backer, Andofo suddenly deflated, getting kicked out by the principal with a series of tumbles.

The human inspection team visited other students in the school. Since people often came here to distribute toys, humans were very welcome.

But these students generally didn’t study, only slightly better than Andofo… really just slightly.

And all the teachers were just coasting through their days at school.

When money was mentioned, everyone’s eyes sparkled, and they inexplicably longed for the lifestyle of human civilization.

Even though these pangolins had no idea about the human way of life…

This longing wasn’t for diligence or a scholarly atmosphere but for human wealth…

Because human entertainment products were very cheap and very popular here. They instinctively thought humans belonged to a more prosperous civilization. Staying within human civilization would undoubtedly make them happier than they were now.

“Integrate Glizerians into humanity? That’s absolutely impossible!”

Ms. Zhong shuddered, frightened by the thought of every Glizerian in the city being like this.

She began to doubt her life, regretting her idle thoughts of changing everything. If human civilization were assimilated by the Glizerians, she would be a sinner for all eternity.

Even if a human with mature values were thrown into this city, they would quickly become lost and assimilated, let alone a child.

Back at the human headquarters, she found many returned colleagues sitting and staring vacantly…

Some of them were even trembling slightly. This chaotic world was truly terrifying.

The ultimate idealist was eventually overcome by reality.

“Alas, it’s not that I don’t want to stop it, but I can’t find a reason to!” she now felt that sending them into the virtual world for reformation might be better than living here. Living was more loathsome than death!

“I finally understand why that group of Glizerians decided to abandon their Mother Star. It was a very wise choice indeed. A fresh start should be better.”

Just then, the door to the room abruptly opened, and Zhang Yuan, having anticipated this situation, asked cheerfully, “Has everyone returned? What do you think? Do we need to continue the inspection? Tell me your thoughts.”

Zhang Yuan saw that Ms. Zhong, who often disagreed with him, had a pale face and stood there silently, lost in thought. Some previously stubborn individuals were also beginning to relent.

One middle-aged man shook his head, “Mr. Zhang, I’ve given up this time. I think there’s no need for further inspection. The assimilative power of this world is too strong; there are no untainted lotuses in the mud. Adults are beyond help, and so are children…”

“Unless we level the entire environment.

Another person said, “I now think putting them into the virtual world isn’t a bad idea either. They can still choose their preferred life, much better than now… There’s no need to fret over whether the body survives or not.”

“I feel the same way,” the crowd discussed noisily, while some remained silent.

Zhang Yuan smiled faintly, acknowledging that he wasn’t against the emergence of different voices within a civilization. In the case of New Civilization History not being strong enough, if there were only one voice within a civilization, it could likely lead down the wrong path.

Those people were incredibly kind-hearted, which was why they were so eager to come down for an inspection.

However, now, these education experts had faced humiliation, and all of them seemed a bit disheartened and unhappy.

Because of the considerably good quality of education in the new civilization, every child raised by society was proactive and upward-moving. This gave the experts an illusion. At first, they even ambitiously thought that they could civilize the Glizerians through education.

What an interstellar joke?

Education might work on young children whose worldviews haven’t formed yet, but for adults, it was like playing the lute to a cow!

Ms. Zhong raised her head and argued, “Actually, we think this way of life is bad and decadent, but that’s only according to our own values. They might find it normal and natural…”

“Isn’t imposing our values onto another civilization considered a taboo in cosmic civilizations?”

“I wonder, what right do we have to change this civilization?”

Listening to everyone’s discussion in the room, Zhang Yuan’s expression slowly became serious, “Ladies and gentlemen, education is definitely not omnipotent. Earth Civilization still has so many lazy people, and gamblers too!”

“As for why we’re doing this… First, we want to acquire their twelve Universal Factories through a non-warlike approach. Second, this Virtual World Technology is exceedingly dangerous, and we need the assistance of Gleize Civilization to find a way out.”

Zhang Yuan candidly stated his purposes, startling everyone.

More than a dozen pairs of eyes stared intensely at him.

Zhang Yuan looked back at them, “Put away your savior complexes. Indeed, everyone has the right to preach their values and to express their opinions. But you must understand, true goodness and beauty won’t change this civilization, nor the Universe!”

“Why does human society change? It’s because of the revolution in productivity and institutions! But no revolution is bloodless. This time, do you want to shed the blood of your own civilization, or that of another?”

No one countered his statement.

Zhang Yuan’s tone softened slightly, “Moreover, whether or not to enter the Virtual World is their own decision; we’re just providing the technology…”

“If they willingly enter, what right have you to object?”

No one opposed anymore…

Zhang Yuan’s claims were, of course, a mere rhetoric.

Because the allure of this technology was immensely strong. A world where wishes come true and a “Golden Finger” could be added, overcoming its temptations was tremendously challenging for those pangolins…

Even the primary creators of the Virtual World were deeply fearful of the virtual world they had created.

This fear was directed at a potential Apocalypse-level Spiritual Weapon that could completely obliterate a civilization!

Yes, this technology, especially World Number 14, had been thoroughly recognized as an Apocalypse-level Spiritual Weapon.

To erase a civilization mentally, the power of this weapon far exceeded nuclear weapons, even antimatter weapons…

Even Professor Yamamoto Ichiro of Unreal Laboratory, a member of the radical faction, warned everyone on his team very seriously and carefully.

Do not enter! Do not enter!

Never enter World Number 14!
