"If that's the case, isn't that a really harsh condition? If we follow your standards, is there any love left in this world?"
Brick pointed to himself and said, "Although it's a bit shameless, I still have to say that there are living examples right in front of you. There really are. Think about it, there are no interests involved between my lover and me, no desires involved. Nothing forced us to be together, yet we still came together. Why do you think that is? Because... love! My friend, because I like being with him, it makes me feel comfortable. I like talking to him, because it allows me to grow, to gain recognition and respect. I can face everything with him simply because I love him and he loves me. Love is simple, but love is a game for the brave, the highest luxury in the universe."
Love is a gamble. Even if you love someone, you still need to gamble on their character and whether they love you back. It's not a one-person affair, which is why love is rare in the universe. The more materialistic a civilization is, the less likely it is to produce such a luxury, because love is destroyed in its infancy. The pressure of survival, worldly obstacles, and the tests of desire can all destroy that fragile emotion. How can a civilization that can't even achieve abundance, a world where the future is unseen, possibly cultivate the soil for love?
Even in the land of myriad races, in this perfect country where no one worries about making a living, no elders interfere in relationships, and there is a healthy moral system, it is impossible to say that everyone has love. Even here, in this world that is comparable to paradise, only a very small number of people have truly experienced love.
But it's undeniable that even in harsh environments, love will never disappear, just as life can still be born from cracks in rocks. However, I still maintain, my friend, that love is incredibly rare in the universe, and the more primitive a civilization, the less love it will produce. You might find these words difficult to understand, but that's okay. Perhaps you'll understand when you truly fall in love with someone.
Xuanyuan Muze fell silent. Since arriving in the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Races, everything here had been destroying his former values. Xuanyuan Muze didn't want them to be right, but the more he thought about it, the more he agreed with what they said. This frightened Xuanyuan Muze. He felt that he was being changed by this place, and he didn't know if it was good or bad.
Just as the two stopped discussing love and were about to continue their tour, Gulasga rushed over excitedly and shouted, "Guest, please wait a moment. I have obtained His Majesty's approval to teach you about the past of humanity. Please come with me to a quiet place. I apologize for disturbing your precious time."
Upon hearing the news, Brickqin cheered with joy, "You got it! That's wonderful! We can finally share His Majesty's burdens."
Xuanyuan Muze looked at the two excited people with a puzzled expression, not understanding why the two scholars were so excited. When he turned to look at the research room, all the scholars put down their work and looked at Xuanyuan Muze through the transparent crystal wall. Then, they cheered excitedly and even hugged each other.
Unaware of what was going on, Xuan Yuan Muze was led to a secluded room by the two scholars, who then arranged for him to sit facing them.
After taking his seat, Xuanyuan Muze went straight to the point and asked, "I don't know anything about the past of the human race, but I would like to ask why the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Races brought me to this world? And why do you need to consult Agreed about what you are about to tell me?"
Gulasga did not immediately answer Xuanyuan Muze's question, but said, "Please don't be in a hurry. After you finish telling me about the great past of the human race, I will answer all the questions you want to know."
So Xuanyuan Muze sat up straight and replied, "Then I am all ears, please speak."
After adjusting his mood, Gulasga solemnly explained, "Humans are actually very special in this multiverse, and all civilizations in the multiverse have a more accurate name for you: we call humans 'pioneers'."
"Pioneers? Why were we named that?"
Brickkin, standing nearby, continued to explain: "Because in the known multiverse, in any universe from its birth to the emergence of life, the first intelligent race to emerge must be 'humans,' and humans are also the first species to develop and take the lead. That is why you are named 'Pioneers.'"
Xuanyuan Muze asked in surprise, "Huh? Really? Why is it that humans are the first intelligent species to appear? Is there any basis for this conclusion?"
Brickkin then continued, "Humans were able to become the first intelligent species to develop because of one thing: they were weak enough. Throughout the evolution of our genes, humans have always been at the bottom of the food chain. Because of their weakness, humans have had to constantly experiment and make choices regarding food. For a long period of genetic evolution, humans were omnivores who ate carrion. Due to the scarcity and instability of food sources, humans tried their best to expand their diet in order to obtain more energy from nature."
As a result, during the evolutionary process, humans participated in more and more food chains, and their food acquisition and nutrition supplementation increased. As a result, their genes were passively deleted under the selection of evolution, and the genes responsible for synthesizing proteins, such as vitamins, were deleted. Because humans' omnivorous diet has enabled them to supply their own nutritional needs, their genes have gradually abandoned these things under natural selection, and instead used the space in the gene chain to develop intelligence.
Thus, by chance and by necessity, humankind invented fire and cooking. From that time on, the energy and nutrients available to humankind underwent a qualitative change and leap, far surpassing those of other races. The abundant supply of nutrients allowed humankind to develop intelligence ahead of other races and rapidly rise to become the first intelligent species in the universe.
We have also conducted an objective investigation and found that the reason why humans developed intelligence is due to a very key factor: in nature, humans have no advantage in terms of survival compared to other races. Because of the harsh environment, developing intelligence is the only way for you. Due to your absolute weakness in terms of physical strength and environmental adaptability, intelligence has become the only way for you to survive.
You have a saying that sums it up very well: "Born in hardship, die in comfort." It is precisely because of hardship that humanity has been able to rise above adversity, and it is precisely because of comfort that humanity has perished. Thanks to you, the great pioneers, the nation of all races has come to understand that the truly advanced life forms are not those races that can transform the environment to suit themselves, but those races that can still live comfortably in harsh environments and ignore any environmental changes.
In fact, this phenomenon continues to occur on many planets. We still cannot scientifically explain why humans were the first to emerge from passive evolution; perhaps it is simply a matter of destiny.
