Chapter 471: 109. Silence and Breakdown

After browsing through the ’Calamity God’ file, Li Aozi remained silent for a long time.

The content was... simply too shocking.

So shocking that, even though he was in a safe and private environment, Li Aozi did not dare to mention a single word of it.

He paced around his room for a few moments and couldn’t help but start pondering a question:

"For ordinary people, who appears more cruel between a Narrative-level Civilization and Society?"

If the content of the file were indeed true, then according to the records of the ’Calamity God Incident,’ a Narrative-level Civilization and Society were basically the same.

But Li Aozi quickly shook his head.

This question was meaningless.

Even if the answer were that a Narrative-level Civilization was more evil than Society, so what?

Did it mean he would betray Starry Abyss?

"Anthropomorphizing civilizations and thinking in terms of black and white is a prejudice against groups and overestimates individual superiority."

After carefully reading through the document again, Li Aozi decided to directly destroy it, leaving no trace.

Information detrimental to the Starry Abyss Civilization should be unlocked only after millions of years. Releasing it now would severely impact people’s determination to resist Society.

"Having too much Intelligence can have such an effect; letting those too intelligent see this might make them switch to Society immediately."

The main enemy of Starry Abyss at present was Society. As for Narrative-level Civilizations, they were currently the main force resisting Society.

If you had to choose between the two, how would you choose?

The answer was that most people had no choice. Those who could choose were often the elites of civilization.

The Life Commune did not understand this principle.

They only saw that a Narrative-level Civilization and Society were equally ’bad,’ but ignored that the current fragile order was also maintained by the efforts of the Narrative-level Civilizations.

If people were humble, they wouldn’t even have the right to be traitors.

So, the Life Commune disbanded.

Mr. Liue was willing to hand over the password to Li Aozi, probably because he had accepted this principle after their encounter.

"Strength, power, pathway."

Li Aozi took a deep breath.

Although strength could not solve all problems, only strength was an eternal truth.

"If there is an opportunity, I still need to stand on my own."

Once Li Aozi made his decision, he stopped thinking about it. Tomorrow morning was the opening ceremony, and he needed to select courses for the first academic year.

He took a bath and had a meal to forget this unpleasant information, and went to bed early.

......

At dawn, a thick fog began to rise, shrouding the campus.

The castle of the Magic Application Academy stood amidst this atmosphere. Its elegant and ancient decorations made it look like a graceful maid, standing tall and welcoming every student who came to study.

Li Aozi got up early, had breakfast, and arrived at the castle gate to meet with Hobbs and Lucite. The previous damage had already been repaired.

Passing students were still discussing the deeds of the Dragon Titan Emperor Yalan. In their conversations, the ’Golden Princess’ had clearly become the brightest star among the new students this year.

"I really envy them; with an excellent Bloodline, they start at the finish line." Lucite, hearing the discussions, sighed from the bottom of his heart.

"Bloodline determines the baseline; the pathway is the future." Li Aozi was indifferent.

He indeed had the right to say this.

No matter what Bloodline it was, in his hands, it could be altered to the point that even its mother wouldn’t recognize it through Implant Gear augmentation.

"True, everyone is equal before the pathway. No matter if your parents are of royal heritage, they can’t practice and climb the pathway for you." Lucite, with his simple mind, quickly regained his motivation.

"Yes, everyone is indeed equal before the pathway, but people from Narrative-level Civilizations are more equal than others."

Hobbs seemed to have not slept well yesterday. He was grumpy, yawning and drinking date milk, seemingly to replenish his energy.

"Actually, that is already equality enough."

Li Aozi thought to himself: Fortunately, you have not seen Azure Star, where the average person couldn’t even achieve the Alpha Stage.

From the perspective of interstellar civilizations, that was simply unlivable.

One could only say that happiness was something to be compared.

Arriving at the chapel, the three found seats and began listening to the opening ceremony.

As a civilization known for its materialism, the design of the chapel was quite industrial, extensively using silver-white and blue spoke patterns, making people feel as if they were inside a spacecraft. Before long, an elegant woman from the Tower Tribe, wearing a blue trench coat, stepped onto the podium.

"Welcome to Baizhu Interstellar University."

The woman had pink diamond earrings and exuded the aura of a mature lady. Her face was kindly, but once she spoke, the murmuring below quieted down:

"I am Nastisha Dantayn, the dean of the Magic Application Academy and also the head of this school’s Workshop Union. I am not good with words, so I will be brief."

"First, you do not need to hold me in reverence. At this school, students have a high degree of autonomy. You should respect the teaching staff and Workshop Masters, as they pass on knowledge and guide your lives. Also, our logistics staff, who directly provide convenience for you, allowing you to focus on your studies without distraction..."

"Secondly, regardless of your ethnicity, home planet, or language, your arrival here proves one thing: you are the elites of your respective groups. As selected talents, you must always remember the responsibilities you bear. Bring what you learn here back to repay the people who support you."
