Versatile Mage: Summon eight demons at the beginning
Chapter 408 Human Face
……
Dead Song Academy.
“Nice to meet you. Hello, I’m Carl.”
While the angels were having their first head-on battle with the scumbag, Lu Cheng was invited over by Carl.
“Is there something you need that you want to talk to me about at this time?” Lu Cheng asked.
“You don’t want me to help you buy time, do you?”
“Of course not.” Carl turned around and led Lu Cheng towards the laboratory.
“My black hole engine has achieved initial success, and I want you to see it.”
“Although this may not mean much to you, you should have more confidence in me.”
Lu Cheng followed behind him and said, “To be honest, I don’t quite understand why you must be so obsessed with the void.”
“You should know what the void is. As the name suggests, compared to everything in the main biological world, there is nothing there.”
The void does exist, but the void is a wrong path of development.
The development of scientific and technological civilization will inevitably enter a bottleneck period. Dark plane technology is an attempt to break the scientific bottleneck, and this attempt has also successfully opened the era of gods.
And now, the third-generation divine body has actually reached the bottleneck of dark plane technology. The so-called fourth-generation divine body is nothing more than a specially improved and strengthened third-generation divine body. Strictly speaking, it is not a particularly big technological breakthrough.
There is no difference in the basic logic between the fourth-generation divine body and the third-generation divine body, it just increases the workload and reduces the reliance on the dark plane.
Kieran and Carl believed that the void was the only way to break the technological bottleneck of the dark plane, so they began relevant research.
However, after realizing the danger of the void, Kiran decisively gave up this path and developed the first generation of Shenhe power framework to deal with the inevitable arrival of the void.
The three major god-making projects designed by Jilan are all used to deal with the void. The Nostar God of War is used to fight, the sun’s light is used to illuminate the void, and the power of the galaxy is responsible for creation.
Of course, this is just an initial design, and Kieran’s research and understanding of the void are far less than Carl’s.
When it comes to science, each generation is better than the previous one; there is no such thing as getting stronger as you get older.
It would be a real joke if technological development went in the opposite direction.
Carl pursues the void, and he feels that this is the right path.
However, the development path of the void is equivalent to denying everything in the existing main biological world.
Life, morality, thought, order, all are gone.
What’s the point of that kind of thing?
Liang Bing’s evaluation of Carl is quite fair. He is a god of death who is extremely afraid of death.
Carl longs for the void, but is also afraid of the void, a hypocritical god of death who doesn’t even dare to face his own death.
“I just want to pursue higher wisdom,” Carl said.
“Higher wisdom?” Lu Cheng couldn’t help but laugh.
“What is wisdom? Technology? Data? Or the unknown?”
“The emptiness you seek denies your past, present, and future.”
“I can see the fear of the void in your heart. You are just like those humans who long for the unknown but dare not touch it and want others to help them die.”
“The Void Route is a Pandora’s Box for existing life. If you really just want to pursue the so-called higher wisdom, you can open the box yourself, but you don’t dare to do so. You are afraid that after opening the box, you will be greeted by destruction.”
“So you want someone else to open this thing for you, to take the risk for you.”
“You are so shameless, yet you feel noble. You have no self-awareness.”
“No wonder you and Liang Bing have known each other for tens of thousands of years. She would get annoyed if you even said a few more words to her. As far back as 20,000 years ago, when the Super Seminary was still in the Angel Nebula, she had already seen through your selfish and cowardly nature, so she looked down on you.”
“You say you are doing this for progress, for the survival of civilization, for the future, but what are you actually thinking about?”
“…” Carlton stopped, “Do you think you see through me?”
“No, I’m not seeing through you. This is just how you look to me,” Lu Cheng said.
“As for what you really are like, I’m not interested in that either.”
“Everyone has their own face. We look different in the eyes of different people.”
“Some people can’t stand me, some people adore me, some people want to kill me, some people think I’m selfish and hypocritical, some people think I don’t have any desires, some people think I’m arrogant, and some people think I hate the world.”
“I don’t refute, nor do I admit it. After all, it’s other people’s freedom to see me as they please.”
“I’m not interested in changing other people’s minds, because it’s impossible to change them.”
“Similarly, it doesn’t matter what you think you are like. What matters is that this is who you are in my eyes.”
“In Liang Bing’s eyes, this is also his virtue.”
“How others see you or understand you has nothing to do with me and I am not interested in it.”

“As for the bullshit objectivity, it is nothing but other people’s subjective view. People who always advocate looking at things objectively just want others to agree with their subjective view. They are a bunch of idiots without self-awareness.”
Karl was silent.
If Lu Cheng said something like this and he still said he didn’t understand, it would be somewhat ridiculous.
This guy doesn’t support his void plan.
Of course, I have no objection.
Strictly speaking, he doesn’t care.
“So what do you want?” Carl asked.
“What you want…it’s a waste of time.” Lu Cheng walked to a chair and sat down.
“Aimlessly wasting time, finding something that interests me, that’s the meaning of the rest of my life.”
“As for whether this process will lead to my own death… I don’t seem to care about that.”
“Strong or weak, right or wrong, good or evil, advance or retreat, all obsessions will inevitably produce opposites. Destruction will inevitably be followed by rebirth, and rebirth will inevitably be followed by death.”
“If you want to win, you have to lose.”
“The participants who see through everything are destined to become bystanders in the end.”
“You think you are ahead of your time, but in fact, you are just conceited.”
Karl looked at Lu Cheng in silence, “But you don’t seem to have completely left this chessboard.”
“Of course, I know what I should do and what I want to do, but that doesn’t mean I will really do it,” said Lu Cheng.
“Everyone is destined to die one day. I can’t think about dying from the day I was born, right?”
“Things that exist will eventually perish. This cannot be violated. Relative concepts are eternal and unchanging.”
“I see my end point, but that doesn’t stop me from walking a little further on the road.”
“If you cling to the end, cling to possession, you are destined to have nothing.”
“…”
“Are you trying to discuss philosophy with me?” Carl asked.
“Not really, I’m just reminding you. After all, I used to be like this.” Lu Cheng shrugged.
“Everyone is stupid sometimes, but we can’t be stupid all our lives, right?” (End of this chapter)
