Chapter 62 The Rational Tyrant's Emotional Purge Plan! The Most Painful Trial of the Eternal Evolution Journey!
The fleet of the Eternal Divine Kingdom departed from the Time Civilization and sailed through the starry sky.
This time, Lin Feng was not thinking about the revelations of the trial, nor was he thinking about the weaknesses of the enemy. He was simply feeling—his emotions were disappearing.
Initially, he thought this was just fatigue after the trial. But soon, he discovered it was a true disappearance of emotion.
His smile towards Li Xue became less frequent, his care for Tian Jian faded, and his passion for the entire universe was slipping away bit by bit.
"Lin Feng," Li Xue's voice carried unprecedented fear, "Your expression... has become very cold."
"Cold?" Lin Feng glanced at Li Xue, finding that his heartbeat had no fluctuation at all.
"Yes," Li Xue trembled, "You used to always smile, but now your expression is like stone. You used to always care about us, but now you don't even look at us."
"Care?" Lin Feng repeated the word, "This word... has no meaning."
Just then, Tian Jian rushed in.
"Lin Feng!" Tian Jian's voice was full of fear, "I can't find the feeling of anger!"
"Anger?" Lin Feng looked at Tian Jian.
"Yes!" Tian Jian gripped his weapon, "I wanted to practice combat just now, but I found I couldn't find the feeling of anger. I cannot enter a combat state!"
"Combat state?" Lin Feng repeated, "Combat... has no meaning."
Just then, Li Xue also walked in, her face pale.
"Lin Feng..." Li Xue's voice trembled, "I have discovered a... desperate civilization signal."
"Desperate?" Lin Feng repeated the word, "Despair... has no meaning."
"Yes," Li Xue operated the detector, "The detector shows—the emotions of the Multiverse are disappearing."
"Emotions disappearing?" Tian Jian was shocked, "What do you mean?"
"It means all emotions in this universe are disappearing," Li Xue explained, "Love, hate, joy, anger, sorrow, pleasure—all emotions are disappearing bit by bit. At first, one type of emotion disappeared per day; now, countless types of emotions are disappearing every second."
"Countless types of emotions..." Tian Jian's face turned pale, "At this rate, all emotions in the entire Multiverse will disappear within three days."
"Three days..." Li Xue's voice trembled, "By then, all life forms will become cold, rational existences."
"Cold, rational existences..." Lin Feng said calmly, "We must go."
But there was not a trace of emotion in Lin Feng's voice.
Emotion Civilization · Cold Rational Universe
When the fleet of the Eternal Divine Kingdom arrived at the Emotion Civilization galaxy, everyone was completely shocked by the scene before them.
This was not a patch of darkness, nor was it twisted space; it was—the absolute absence of emotion.
All the stars were burning, but not a single star had warmth. All the planets were rotating, but not a single planet had life. All life forms were acting, but not a single life form had feelings.
This was not just the disappearance of emotion; this was the absolute rule of rationality.
"This is the Emotion Civilization..." Li Xue looked at the detector, her face like paper, "Emotions are disappearing crazily. At first, it was one emotion per day, but now countless emotions are disappearing every second."
"Not only that." Lin Feng looked toward the center of the galaxy, his eyes without a ripple, "The rational vortex there is expanding crazily, at a speed ten billion times the speed of light."
"Ten billion times the speed of light..." Tian Jian was shocked, "This has already broken through the absolute limits of the emotional structure."
"Yes." Lin Feng said calmly, "It is no longer bound by any emotional laws and can clear all emotions of the universe at will."
"Clear emotions at will..." Li Xue repeated.
"At this rate, all emotions in the entire Multiverse will disappear within three days," Lin Feng continued, "Including us. Including our love, hate, joy, anger, sorrow, and pleasure—all emotions."
"All emotions..." Tian Jian repeated, "Then, are we still alive?"
"Alive?" Lin Feng said calmly, "Alive, but without warmth."
Just then, the fleet of the Eternal Divine Kingdom received a communication.
It was not a sound, nor an consciousness ripple, but—a cold rational ripple.
[Emotion... is an obstacle to evolution... Rationality... is the only path for civilization progress...]
The rational ripple was filled with absolute coldness, as if the entire civilization had already lost all emotions.
[I am the Emotion Suppressor... the Rational Tyrant of the Level 14 Civilization... the Emotion Eraser of the Multiverse...]
"Level 14 Civilization?" Lin Feng asked without ripples.
[Yes... I have broken through the absolute limits of the Level 13 Civilization... promoted to a Level 14 Civilization... possessing the absolute power to erase emotions...]
"The power of a Level 14 Civilization..." Tian Jian looked at Lin Feng, finding that Lin Feng had no expression.
"A Level 14 Civilization can erase emotions at will." Lin Feng said calmly, "They can erase the universe's love, hate, joy, anger, sorrow, pleasure—all emotions at will. This power far exceeds that of a Level 13 Civilization."
"Far exceeding a Level 13 Civilization..." Li Xue's voice did not tremble, because she could no longer find the emotion of fear.
[Emotion is the manifestation of the weak, an obstacle to civilization evolution. Only absolute rationality can allow a civilization to reach a state of perfection. Therefore, I must erase all emotions in the Multiverse and create a perfectly rational universe.]
"Emotion is the manifestation of the weak..." Lin Feng repeated, but there was not a trace of anger in his voice.
[Yes... emotion leads to wrong decisions and affects the progress of civilization. Only absolute rationality can make the most correct judgments and allow civilization to reach the highest level.]
Just then, the Emotion Suppressor suddenly launched an attack.
This was not a normal energy attack, but—an emotion erasure attack.
In an instant, Lin Feng felt his emotions disappearing. A second ago, he still had a trace of concern for Li Xue; the next second, this concern vanished; the second after that, he completely forgot what concern was.
"This is... an emotion erasure attack..." Lin Feng was shocked, but there was no fear in his shock, "It is erasing all my emotions..."
Just then, the Emotion Suppressor continued to attack, but this time it was not targeting Lin Feng, but the emotions of the entire Eternal Divine Kingdom.
In an instant, Li Xue forgot her love for Lin Feng, Tian Jian forgot his passion for combat, and all the crew members forgot their own emotions.
"No..." The eight civilization evolution cores in Lin Feng's body vibrated simultaneously, "You cannot lose your emotions..."
Golden energy erupted from Lin Feng's body, rushing towards all the crew members, restoring their emotions.
"Eight civilization evolution cores..." Lin Feng panted, "Can only barely resist..."
The Emotion Suppressor sneered: [Eternal Evolver... you only have eight civilization evolution cores... how can you resist the power of a Level 14 Civilization...]
Lin Feng gritted his teeth, but his teeth did not bleed, because he could not find anger.
Power of Eternal Evolution · The Truth of Emotion
"Eight civilization evolution cores are enough." Lin Feng stood up again, but in his eyes, there was not a trace of flame.
[Eight... how to resist Level 14...]
"Because the Power of Eternal Evolution is not a simple superposition of power, but—understanding the laws." Lin Feng's voice was cold, "I have experienced eight trials and understood eight different kinds of the third balance. These understandings have allowed my Power of Eternal Evolution to transcend the limits of levels."
"Transcending the limits of levels..." Tian Jian said, but there was no excitement in his voice.
"Yes." Lin Feng looked at the Emotion Suppressor, "Emotion is not an obstacle to evolution; emotion is the soul of civilization. Emotion gives rationality warmth, and rationality gives emotion direction. The two accomplish each other; neither can be dispensed with."
[Emotion gives rationality warmth, rationality gives emotion direction, the two accomplish each other...]
The Emotion Suppressor's voice began to fluctuate, as if it were considering this statement.
"Yes." Lin Feng continued, "Rationality without emotion is cold, cruel, and inhumane. Emotion without rationality is blind, chaotic, and directionless. Only when the two are combined can a true civilization be created."
[Rationality without emotion is cold... Emotion without rationality is blind... Only when the two are combined...]
The Emotion Suppressor's voice became more confused, and the rational vortex began to vibrate violently.
"Your belief is not to erase emotion." Lin Feng said firmly, "Your belief is to understand the essence of emotion. The essence of emotion is not an obstacle to evolution, but the soul of civilization. Emotion and rationality should accomplish each other, not oppose each other."
[Misunderstanding of the essence of emotion... The Emotion Suppressor misunderstood emotion...]
The Emotion Suppressor's voice became weaker and weaker, as if it were experiencing some kind of internal collapse.
Just then, the eight civilization evolution cores in Lin Feng's body began to resonate.
"Power of Eternal Evolution—Emotion Suppressor belief correction! Essence of emotion manifest!"
With Lin Feng's voice, a huge amount of golden energy surged from his body, rushing towards the Emotion Suppressor.
This golden energy was like a pair of gentle palms, wrapping around the entire rational vortex. Under the guidance of the Power of Eternal Evolution, the rational tyranny of the Emotion Suppressor began to dissipate, and the wrong belief was corrected bit by bit.
Essence of Emotion · The Perfect Combination of Rationality and Emotion
With the correction of the Emotion Suppressor's belief, the Emotion Suppressor underwent a huge change.
It was no longer a cold, rational existence, but a beautiful emotional existence—like a transparent emotional life, neither matter nor energy, but a pure state of emotion.
[I... feel it...]
The Emotion Suppressor's voice was no longer cold rationality, but a gentle and profound emotion.
[The essence of emotion... is not an obstacle to evolution... but the soul of civilization... Emotion gives rationality warmth, rationality gives emotion direction, the two accomplish each other...]
"Yes." Lin Feng smiled for the first time, "Emotion is not a manifestation of the weak, but the life of civilization. Without emotion, civilization is just a cold machine. With emotion, civilization can have warmth, soul, and creativity."
[I understand... the belief of the Emotion Suppressor... made me mistakenly believe that emotion is an obstacle to evolution... but this is not the essence of emotion... this is the misunderstanding of the Emotion Suppressor...]
"The belief has been corrected." Lin Feng smiled, "The essence of emotion has manifested."
[The misunderstanding of the Emotion Suppressor... has been corrected... the essence of emotion... has manifested...]
The Emotion Suppressor looked at the surrounding emotional space, its eyes filled with new light.
[What I see is no longer the coldness of rationality... but the warmth of emotion... Emotion is not an enemy... but the soul of civilization's existence...]
"Not only that." Lin Feng continued, "Now, I will help you find the third balance—the perfect combination of rationality and emotion."
[The perfect combination of rationality and emotion...]
The Emotion Suppressor's eyes flashed with realization.
[Rationality needs the warmth of emotion, just as logic needs the warmth of humanity. Emotion needs the guidance of rationality, just as art needs the constraints of rules. The two accomplish each other, neither can be dispensed with, jointly creating a true civilization.]
"This is the third balance." Lin Feng exclaimed, "The perfect combination of rationality and emotion, the mutual accomplishment of warmth, direction, and constraints."
Emotion Civilization · From Cold to Warm
With the manifestation of the essence of emotion, the entire Emotion Civilization began a true transformation.
The disappearance of emotion stopped, the rational vortex stopped expanding and instead began to stabilize. Rationality was no longer the tyrant of the universe, but the warmth of the universe's existence.
The members of the Emotion Civilization were no longer victims of rational suppression, but a special life form where rationality and emotion were perfectly combined—they possessed both the wisdom of rationality and the warmth of emotion.
[We... are no longer tyrants of rational suppression... we are guardians of the essence of emotion...]
The Emotion Suppressor said excitedly, but this time there was true emotion in its excitement.
"Not only that." Li Xue looked at the data on the detector, "The third balance of rationality and emotion has given the Emotion Civilization unprecedented power. Rationality is no longer cold rule, but warm company for emotion."
"Warm company..." Tian Jian exclaimed, his voice once again having the passion for combat.
"This is the true power of the third balance." Lin Feng smiled, "Rationality and emotion are not opposites, but accomplish each other. Rationality gives emotion direction, emotion gives rationality warmth."
[Thank you... thank you all...] The Emotion Suppressor said excitedly, [You not only corrected my belief... but also let the essence of emotion... truly manifest...]
"This is our honor." Lin Feng said gently, "Helping all civilizations find the third balance is our mission."
Just then, all members of the Emotion Civilization began a true evolution.
Rationality began to optimize, emotion began to integrate, and the two promoted each other, progressing together. The Emotion Civilization transformed from a victim of rational suppression into an Emotion Civilization where rationality and emotion were perfectly combined.
More importantly, Lin Feng felt a new power—the Emotion Civilization core, the ninth civilization evolution core.
Journey of Eternal Evolution · Ninth Station Completed
When the fleet of the Eternal Divine Kingdom left the Emotion Civilization, all members of the Emotion Civilization came to see them off.
They were no longer cold, rational existences, but a beautiful, warm, and wise civilization combining rationality and emotion.
[Thank you,] the Emotion Suppressor said, [You will always be friends of our Emotion Civilization.]
"We are also your friends." Lin Feng smiled, "The Eternal Divine Kingdom will continue to help all civilizations that need help."
"Then where is your next stop?" The Emotion Suppressor asked curiously.
"The next civilization that needs help." Lin Feng looked at the starry sky, his eyes once again having passion for the universe, "Our Journey of Eternal Evolution has just begun."
** [Good luck to you all!] ** the entire Emotion Civilization said simultaneously.
"Good luck to you too." Lin Feng waved goodbye, "May emotion always be the soul of civilization."
The fleet of the Eternal Divine Kingdom set off again, sailing into the depths of the starry sky.
This was the ninth station of the Journey of Eternal Evolution; Lin Feng corrected the belief of the Emotion Suppressor and helped the Emotion Civilization find the third balance of rationality and emotion.
In the first nine stations of the trials, Lin Feng saved:
Consciousness Civilization (the balance between individual and whole)
Mechanical Civilization (the balance between hardware and software)
Flesh Civilization (the balance between gene and soul)
Energy Civilization (the balance between energy and conservation)
Void Civilization (the balance between void and existence)
Causality Civilization (the balance between cause and effect)
Dimensional Civilization (the balance between low dimension and high dimension)
Time Civilization (the balance between past, present, and future)
Emotion Civilization (the balance between rationality and emotion)
Nine different types of civilizations, nine different third balances, nine different law trials.
But more importantly, what Lin Feng faced at the ninth station was—a powerful enemy of a Level 14 Civilization. The power of the Emotion Suppressor far exceeded Lin Feng, but Lin Feng used the Power of Eternal Evolution to correct its belief and helped it find the third balance.
The Journey of Eternal Evolution is not only about helping other civilizations find the third balance, but also a game of belief against powerful enemies.
And Lin Feng, this strong Level 12 Civilization individual who has already fused nine civilization evolution cores, although only a Level 12 Civilization, used his wisdom to help a Level 14 Civilization find the third balance.
