Chapter 528 - The Great Emperor-Prophet's Advice, But No One Listens

"Congratulations. You have officially entered the age of the genetic society."

"And the cradle of geneticism has opened its arms to you, which has also given you the true qualification to speak with me."

"Next, your terrestrial living space will expand. From now on, the sea will no longer be an insurmountable danger for humanity. The Stigma, like a hard drive storing genetic information, will carry the code of the new human genes to create the new social systems you require."

"Under this system, you will gain more freedom, more power, more... needs and reproduction."

"You may not understand what I'm saying, but don't worry. You will soon."

"New genes mean that humans can choose their own life forms to adapt to the environment. This means the sea will completely lose its threat to humanity. Humans can add underwater breathing functions with sonar communication organs, henceforth moving from land to the seabed."

"The capacity of your sensory systems will increase explosively. Humanity will enter a noisy, ever-changing world of sound and light. You will see a new world of colors that were previously invisible."

"The capabilities of your motor systems will also change accordingly. People in different jobs will develop different kinds of life forms."

"At the same time, the improvement of various resistances and immunities in the human body also represents an increased ability to endure space travel. And with the addition of Honkai factors, we will have even more different choices. Greater adaptability will allow humans to better develop all the matter within the solar system."

"And all this also means that you must give up the genetic permissions you already possess. Reproduction will no longer be a decision made between one or two people. This is because your individual abilities can create a human group that can continuously reproduce and even self-adaptively replicate. This would pose a huge threat to the safety and interests of others."

As Noldrei spoke, countless leaves fell from the tree.

When these leaves touched people, they instilled the memories of this new society into their minds.

Physical form submitted to the will of the human spirit. The people of the Current Era witnessed a society where humans of all strange and varied shapes lived together.

Some humans looked like nothing more than a stick, and no one knew what kind of work required them to take on such a bizarre form.

But most humans chose the most versatile, applicable form—a strange state of life resembling a slime or a mud monster.

Such life forms were still too advanced, and the new humans in the Stigma Space couldn't accept them for the time being.

"Let's skip over this particular state of life for now. What I want to tell you next is the most troublesome conflict in this new world."

"The fragmented, corporate 'ideological' wars."

"You may think I'm joking, but in reality, you just can't imagine it."

"With the extended lifespans brought by geneticism and the various self-divisions of the new humans, companies will begin to gather 'like-minded' individuals as much as possible to complete their production tasks."

"For example, humans who are inclined toward 'group orgies' will automatically gather together..."

Despite the extremely serious occasion, Noldrei managed to pull out an example that shocked the millions, nearly tens of millions, of people present.

People cried out in shock, denouncing the scene as a complete breakdown of morals! How could genes be used for something like this? Did the authorities not care at all?

"But at the same time, humans who are inclined to abandon carnal desires and 'gather for Buddhist worship' will also automatically gather together."

"Due to the enhanced sensory systems that both groups of humans must have for their work and life, an unacceptable result will eventually occur."

"That is, these two forms of human life will begin to hate each other, and then they can only fight to the death until a result that everyone can accept is reached."

Memories of the future of humanity fell from the Gene Tree and instantly appeared deep within everyone's consciousness.

Kiana was astonished. She had never imagined that the future of humanity would include the legendary "Orgy Wars."

Even Kevin, who had come in to watch the show, was mentally shocked. His thoughts froze for a few seconds before he realized what Noldrei was talking about.

"That's a bit too much, isn't it?" Elysia gently bit her finger.

Although Elysia was long accustomed to the human-like nature of the Current Era, the thought of such orgy wars in the future made her think it would be better to just find a place to end her life.

If worst comes to worst, maybe she could find a tentacle monster?

But Noldrei paid no heed to their shock. The "Orgy Wars" he spoke of were, in essence, a war of materialized ideologies.

This was just one of the struggles waged between the two ideologies of pursuing sexual pleasure and abandoning it. This struggle was just a minor matter. The real underlying reason was the result of humanity's increasingly rampant pursuit of the meaning of their own existence, deepened by the genetic modifications of geneticism.

This is so f---ing absurd. All the Stigma battlesuit owners present were baffled by the sheer strangeness of it all.

Would people really fight over something like this? It sounded even more ridiculous than a fairy tale.

But after careful consideration of the Academy City's legal principle of balancing rights and responsibilities, everyone quickly understood the real reason for such a conflict to arise.

The organizational form of the new humans was highly tied to their genetic form. This meant that once a conflict occurred, it would lead to a struggle to define mutual rights and responsibilities.

Given the legal principle of balancing rights and responsibilities, these people would start to fight.

This method of judgment, while maintaining the principles of fairness and justice, would also lead to endless conflict.

If human lifespans had not been extended by geneticism, people might have considered saving time and decided on a mutual compromise to continue living.

But this theoretical upper limit of life had been broken by the development of geneticism.

In a state where no one could die, they might as well fight to the end and see who could finally get a satisfactory result.

Not only Kiana thought such a thing was impossible, but even Kevin felt it was an impossibility.

In this state, almost no one believed such a future would come to pass.

The state of human civilization under these conditions gave Noldrei a rough idea of what these people's limits were.

Just as ancient people couldn't imagine the surplus waste created by modern industrialization, modern people couldn't imagine what the strife and division under a rampant spread of ideologies would look like.

You all are still too conservative...

Noldrei wasn't here to make everyone trust him. He turned the topic to another, more important direction.

That is, the ticket to the parallel worlds.
