From the Abyss of Stars Part 1

011. Human Path

Regarding the professor's remarks, Li Aozi neither confirmed nor denied them. On the surface, he appeared skeptical, but in reality, his attitude towards the professor and the entire Abyssal Humanitarian Rescue Organization was far from positive.

Before being brought to the professor, he had been injected with various doses of drugs and subjected to three hours of interrogation. However, these were nothing to Li Aozi.

Although he was not a transcendent, his charm value was very high. Taking a few hits, acting pitifully, and revealing a few words made the other party believe him.

However, when faced with drugs like truth serum, Li Aozi had no way out. He could only bite his tongue to prevent revealing the truth.

In fact, if Li Aozi opened the faction panel at this moment, he believed the professor's favorability towards him wouldn't be too low.

The most comfortable thing about the attribute 【Charm】 is that it releases indiscriminately towards the selected target. Even if it's an elemental creature, a mechanical lifeform, or a void hunter, if your charm is high enough, they will like to be with you.

To gain the other party's trust, Li Aozi deliberately hesitated before asking the professor:

"What exactly is Esha?"

"To answer that question, I must first ask how much you know about Aoneng."

"Is there any connection?" Li Aozi pretended to be puzzled.

"The connection is significant."

The professor adjusted her glasses and patiently explained:

"You should know that before the Galactic Era, during the so-called Old Era, the people of Azure Star had no Aoneng, nor were there extraordinary beings like warriors or psychics. Humans greeted each other with nuclear weapons and lived in the shadow and fear of nuclear war. However, due to the principle of mutual destruction, comprehensive wars among humans almost no longer broke out."

"Ironically, the most peaceful period of human civilization was living on the brink of world destruction."

"But all of this was based on the premise of 'nuclear war leading to the collapse of civilization'."

"A historian once said: Weapons determine the mode of war. At a certain point in time, humans turned to a power more sinful than nuclear weapons."

The professor paused and suddenly asked:

"Mr. Patient, what do you think of superhumans?"

Li Aozi's heart stirred, and he immediately replied in the format he had in mind:

"No matter how super a human is, they are still an individual. They still need the group to nurture and support them. However, with the emergence of a large number of superhumans, social order will face great challenges. The class gap that could be balanced by knowledge and education will become harder to bridge."

The professor nodded, somewhat surprised:

"As expected of a civilized person who actively fled to the outside world. Quite remarkable."

"The children of superhumans will still be superhumans and even more stable than the plutocrats and royalty."

"Therefore, even if someone from the lower class changes their fate through superhuman power, their descendants will still become rulers of the monopolistic class, perhaps even more so than before."

At this point, the professor looked at him:

"And the fundamental reason for the change in the mode of war, class changes, and the upheaval of world order is the emergence of transcendent beings."
