Chapter 170: The prehistoric world invades the prehistoric world!

[Ding! This round of simulation has failed...]

Zhao Si: …

Okay, it seems that my suggestion is indeed too extreme.

Faced with the second betrayal, Zhao Si realized his misunderstanding after a moment of thought:

"Take Jiao Ming as an example. In fact, every protagonist has his own thoughts... If I force them to do something they don't want to do, it will cause rebellion..."

Jiao Ming’s example proves that they are thoughtful, and this new bird proves that each protagonist has different thoughts.

For the same thing, Jiao Ming is willing to sacrifice himself, but that doesn’t mean others are willing to do the same. Especially after learning the lessons from Jiao Ming, the new protagonist will be more wary of himself as a player.

Once his instructions conflict with their values, they will be more likely to rebel than Jiao Ming, and their tolerance rate will be greatly reduced...

"It's over. Jiao Ming was willing to sacrifice himself, but by the time I knew that his true spirit could be half as strong as Pangu's, he was already dead. There was no possibility of him coming back to life and dying again."

"And this new bird values ​​its own life to begin with. After seeing Jiao Ming's memories, it is even less likely that it will sacrifice itself... There is no way we can have a grand finale this way!"

The more Zhao Si thought about it, the more troubled he became:

Why is it so difficult to complete a game?

"The complete strategy for clearing the game is now clear. To avoid the sacrifice of innocent people in the most efficient way, we can only kill the three ancestors first and then commit suicide. The total amount of true spirits we gain will be just enough to establish the Heavenly Dao... But apart from Jiao Ming, basically no one is willing to sacrifice themselves..."

Zhao Si deeply felt the pain of being stuck:
How nice it would be if every protagonist was like Jiao Ming? They sacrificed when they needed to, and their moral quality was too high, unlike now...

However, Jiao Ming was already dead. While collecting information to pass the level, he also realized the essential conflict between the transcendental instructions and his own perspective, and there was no possibility of reconciling the two.

[Players think too much. Actually, it is useless to release Jiao Ming at the beginning of the game. The reason why he is willing to sacrifice is because of the invisible shaping of three lifetimes of experience, which leads to high morality... If it is the first version of Jiao Ming, you let him commit suicide right away, he will defect on the spot. ]

Zhao Si was speechless for a moment, but he had to admit that his idea was unrealistic and it was impossible for anyone to meet his stringent requirements for passing the level.

However, Zhao Si gritted his teeth and decided to continue the simulation:
"Who cares... Let's just take it one step at a time!"

[Ding! The previous simulation has failed, and this world has returned to nothingness...]

Zhao Si couldn't help but sigh when he heard that Bird No. 2 not only died, but also caused the entire prehistoric world where he was to be quietly erased by the system:
It is easy for the true spirit to leave the system, but leaving means it will definitely die completely.

Jiao Ming died, and bird number two also died. The only difference between the two was that Jiao Ming's third simulation was successful, so Honghuang could exist in reality.

However, the simulation of bird number two failed in the first life, and the primitive world could not become reality.

The system seems to have no punishment for defection, but in fact the punishment is the most cruel. Not only the person, but also the world, will be wiped out...

[Ding! This round of simulation has returned to the initial node...]

[…On an ordinary day in a certain era, a certain association, a certain destiny, a bird egg inexplicably hatched from an old tree under a small volcano in the southern wilderness. A small bird with few feathers ignorantly poked its head out of the shell and looked at the world for the first time…]

【…】

[Suddenly, endless memories emerge in your mind. You seem to have had a dream. You dreamed of a bird that looks just like you, and you dreamed of his three lives...]

[Then I dreamed of another bird that looked like me, and understood his brief experience and miserable fate... I couldn't help but feel sad.]

[Faced with the decision of fate, you sadly know that no matter which way you go, it will be a dead end, but you have no other choice. ]

[You are neither Jiao Ming, the goody-goody, nor No. 2 Bird, the fool. For you, you don’t want to sacrifice yourself, nor do you want to die completely because of the loss of the protection of your true spirit.]

[So, you beg for mercy from your other self, hoping that he will be magnanimous and spare your innocent little bird...]

[You request another self to respond to this: (?) Please fill in freely! ]

Zhao Si: …

No, how come bird number 3 is even more outrageous? Not only does he not ask for advice, but he also begs for mercy?

“Is it really that scary to be the protagonist of a game?”

Zhao Si was speechless, but had to admit that it was indeed horrible. After all, sacrifices were made at every turn. If you were willing to commit suicide, you would die, and if you were unwilling to commit suicide, you would die too.

The failure of the simulation is the most terrifying of all, it will directly destroy the world!

Fortunately, I am not the protagonist of this game, otherwise I would also be in trouble...

"and many more!"

Zhao Si frowned, as if thinking of something:
"Is there something wrong with my understanding of this simulated final mission?"

Is it possible that Jiao Ming’s later experiences led him to erroneously understand things?

"Jiao Ming wanted freedom at the beginning, not salvation. His worldview was actually distorted later on..."

At the beginning, Jiao Ming never thought about saving the world. What he wanted was individual freedom, not collective freedom.

It’s just that because he was conscripted by Zu Feng in his first life and saw many casualties in wars, his ideas were gradually distorted and alienated into those of “sacrifice” and “salvation”.

Sacrificing oneself to save others is actually wrong. It goes against his will and the fundamental requirement of completing the mission:
The protagonist survives!

From this perspective, even if Zhao Si is lucky enough to draw a bird that is willing to sacrifice itself at the beginning, and then let him kill the three ancestors and then commit suicide, so that Hongjun can create the way of heaven in advance and achieve a good ending without the sacrifice of innocent people, he will not pass the level.

Because in this way, the innocent person becomes the bird itself, and the protagonist dies, so the simulated ending will naturally not be perfect...

"No wonder……"

Zhao Si's mouth twitched:
"I let Bird No. 2 sacrifice itself to save others, which naturally deviates from the fundamental mission of the simulation..."

Does it matter how many people die? It doesn’t matter at all!
What matters is that the protagonist stays alive!

As long as the protagonist can survive forever, it is actually equivalent to a perfect clearance...

Take Jin Bing as an example. Was he willing from the beginning to reincarnate three times to save the demon and human races?
Not at all, at least not at the beginning. Jin Bing didn't want to get involved in the conflict between the monsters and humans, but the problem was that he had to get involved, because the monsters slaughtered the humans, so the rise of the humans would definitely slaughter the monsters, and Jin Bing would be among those to be slaughtered.

In this way, Jin Bing Tianran has no way to escape. If he wants to survive, he can only slaughter all human beings!

But the human race has the protection of saints, so it is impossible to slaughter them all.

Therefore, Jin Bing's only way to survive is to rule the human race. Either he leads the human race to defeat the Heavenly Court and completely become the "monster above the monsters", or he maintains the peaceful coexistence of monsters and humans, and everyone wins together...

Similarly, Jiao Ming’s fundamental task is also to survive!

But the difference between him and Jin Bing lies in the reason for his life-threatening situation:

Jiao Ming had no human or anyone else to threaten his life. The reason why he could not survive was essentially because he was kidnapped by his own high moral quality. Except for the first life when he died in the war between three tribes, the causes of death in the next two lives were all suicides...

"So if I want to pass the game, there are actually only two difficulties: one is to prevent the protagonist from being killed, and the other is to prevent the protagonist from committing suicide!"

As soon as his thoughts came to him, Zhao Si suddenly realized:
It was off, all off! I was led into the ditch by Jiao Ming!

Do I need to kill the three ancestors to clear the level?

No need.

Is it necessary to govern all living beings?

No need.

Need to avoid casualties?

Still no need...

"So, as long as the bird is strong enough not to be killed by others, and has a good mentality and low morals, the basic conditions for passing the level are met!"

Zhao Si was certain in his heart, and immediately wrote a strategy letter to Bird No. 3:
[Faced with the threat of life and death, you beg your "other self" to be magnanimous and let you go. You choose: (Enlighten all spirits, then start slaughtering, and let Hongjun mold the slaughtered spirits into the way of heaven. Finally, ask for a saintly position, and you can pass the level!)]

[The bird begging for mercy was stunned, and then said tactfully: Is this too extreme? ]

[You think this strategy is too extreme. Although you are not a good guy like Jiao Ming, you are not a big devil either. If you really want to kill so many people, your conscience will not go through with it...]

[Ding! You request a less extreme strategy: (?) Please fill in freely! ]

"Ah? You think I'm extreme?"

Zhao Si scratched his head:

"It seems that even if he is not Jiao Ming, his moral quality is relatively high... Since he doesn't want so many people to die, let's change him."

If he wanted to avoid suicide, he could not start slaughtering people at will, nor could he allow others to do so, so the Third Ancestor had to be killed in advance.

If you want to avoid being killed, you must be strong enough. Daluo is not enough, and Quasi-Sage is barely enough. Only Saint is absolutely safe!
"Then..."

Zhao Si began to fill in:
[Faced with the difficult problem, you choose: (First, work with Hongjun to kill the three ancestors in advance, then enlighten all the spirits, and finally ask him for a saintly position. The whole process of becoming a saint can be handled by Hongjun!)]

[After receiving this strategy, you, who have Jiao Ming's memory, naturally know what "Hongjun will be in charge of the entire process of becoming a saint" means. So after a difficult weighing, you, who are kind-hearted, still rejected this strategy: "It's still too extreme!"]

Zhao Si: …

“Is this extreme?!”

Zhao Si was helpless: I thought this bird's morality would be relatively low, but it seems that it is not much lower than Jiao Ming's...

Just when Zhao Si was at a loss of what to do, bird number three sent another request:

[Ding! You feel that your other self doesn't have much to offer, so you decide not to bother him anymore and try micromanaging on your own first! ]

【Lao Deng, give me some gold coins! 】

[Ding! You have requested assistance from your other self: (Golden Crow True Fire), do you agree? ]

"This……"

Zhao Si was stunned for a moment, and finally sighed helplessly:
"Okay, okay, you don't trust my strategy and you want to take my gold coins again... Fine!"

The advanced version of the Golden Crow True Fire, which hadn’t even warmed up yet, was placed on the phone screen again.

[Ding! The Golden Crow True Fire has provided assistance successfully! ]

[A ball of white-gold flame descends into the simple bird's nest. You look at this true fire that once followed Jiao Ming to display its divine power, and you can't help but sigh in your heart: It seems that you can't escape the fate of becoming the next Jiao Ming... Huh?! ]

[Under your extremely shocked gaze, this true fire seemed to sense that it had entered a different world, and it began to spontaneously emit a purple glow.]

[Ding! Hongjun (Tian Dao) has detected the existence of another world! ]

[Ding! Hongjun (Tian Dao) has launched a cross-border invasion! ]

【you:?!】

Zhao Si: ???
