Run Away, This Civilization Is Cheating!-Chapter 681 - 478: The New Generation’s All Heavens Military Training!_2

Chapter 681 -478: The New Generation’s All Heavens Military Training!_2

All the students below were faintly excited.

Lai Xixue felt the same.

Standing among the crowd, she did not particularly stand out.

And around her, people were already discussing in whispers.

“I’ve heard that this time, our principal is really investing heavily in the military training.”

“I heard it too, it’s a Fourth Stage world!”

“How come I heard it’s the Fifth Stage?”

“Fifth Stage? That sounds a bit exaggerated. We’re not true soldiers yet, without any casualty quota. If something goes wrong, the principal will bear a heavy responsibility.”

“What’s there to fear? I actually hope it’s the Fifth Stage. I’ve already decided to join the army and take the combat route!”

“Me too!”

“…”

Clearly, rumors had already begun to circulate.

Lai Xixue was also listening to the conversations of others.

But the combat route?

In her eyes, there was a moment of perplexity for she had discovered over the years that her unique “Talent” seemed to give her an unparalleled advantage in learning and cultivation.

From this perspective, it seemed that the research route would be more suited to her development.

However, in this current era of trials, waging wars across all heavens, earning military merit, carries greater glory and is a path where one could more easily realize self-worth.

Lai Xixue, who thought she was utterly average before she turned twelve, harbored the desire to seize any opportunity. Now that the chance had truly presented itself over these three years, was she supposed to retreat and choose a safer path?

The dilemma similar to what Lai Xixue was contemplating is, in fact, a common conflict for her generation.

However, the military training – including the entire high school phase of cultivation and learning – is designed to help the new generation solidify their pursuits.

Soon, the principal began to describe the much-anticipated “Military Training World” to the freshmen!

“This is a world we discovered about three years ago. Its Extraordinary System is quite unique; nominally, it appears to be cultivation based, but in fact, the underlying logic is filled with plunder.”

The principal is a Mid Stage Sixth Rank cultivator.

Don’t be fooled by the average Level 5 status of today’s Human Civilization; the truth is, the vast majority of people are still in the Fifth Stage.

The Sixth Stage still holds a certain status.

Moreover, at this stage, the gap between each rank is quite significant.

Being at the Mid Stage of the Sixth Stage, one already has the qualifications to serve as the principal of such an esteemed junior high school.

With the principal’s explanation, everyone gained a certain understanding of this “Military Training World.”

But as their understanding deepened, the initial excitement gradually turned to heaviness.

The reason is simple.

This is a ruthless world.

The Extraordinary Level is roughly at the Fifth Rank, and the world’s methods of Extraordinary Cultivation lean towards cultivation law.

But within it, there exists an especially cruel underlying logic.

That is the “plunder” the principal mentioned!

There are too many cultivation techniques and methods that can directly plunder everything from others, whether vitality, essence, bones, or Talent!

Even so, practices like seizing the body and soul are widespread!

The order of the entire world has thus become extremely harsh.

While many deeply recognize that such self-destructive killing is devastating for the future of Civilization and therefore refuse to cultivate through plunder, this group has become the target of others. They might not be completely wiped out, but their existence is extraordinarily arduous.

“Ladies and gentlemen,” the principal’s voice rang out again, this time looking at everyone with a grave tone, “The very essence of our campaigns across All Heavens is to wage wars of invasion for profit, and there is nothing to shy away from about this. This is the nature of war, as has been clearly stated in your elementary school curriculum. However, there is a fundamental difference between us and what we perceive to be the ‘Magic path,’ and that is our bottom line!”

Lai Xixue’s expression became solemn.

In this era, all children’s psychological growth is incredibly rapid.

Therefore, by elementary school, they have already started to contemplate many things.

Including the world, the era, society, ethics, morality…..

Among the most critical is the bottom line.

They do not apply any moral decoration to their actions of invasion, and are extremely clear in their understanding that what they are doing is for their own benefit at the expense of others.

However, they also adhere to that bottom line.

Invasion is for the sake of benefits, not for venting bestial impulses. All intelligent beings within the invaded civilization that do not pose a threat should have the basic human rights of life, and even those willing to switch sides and bring benefits to one’s own civilization should be guided and supported.

This is the most basic moral sentiment.

Beyond this, there are many other internal morals that should be adhered to.

For instance, trusting comrades-in-arms, loving civilization, and maintaining unity…

Therefore, in order to safeguard the moral bottom line, when faced with contradictions in moral beliefs, even at the expense of benefits, it is permissible to sacrifice said benefits.

In a word, one must not become a person who neglects personal interests in favor of overemphasizing morals, nor can one become a person who abandons the moral bottom line for the sake of interests.

Clearly, the majority of the “cannibalism” phenomena in this world touch upon the moral bottom line of human civilization!

In such circumstances, all students, including Lai Xixue, can already imagine the main content of this military training.

——Kill!

Even, some students can think of more.

Competition does exist among students, and although it is unlikely for them to engage in fratricide under the strict order of rules, if one could “plunder” power from natives to quickly enhance their own rank and strength, wouldn’t someone do it?

Although everyone understands that such actions touch the moral bottom line, in the rules narrated just now by the principal, there is no prohibition against it!

“What do you think?” A voice suddenly came from beside Lai Xixue.

She turned her head to look; it was a friend, and also a former competitor from middle school.

But at this moment, he was looking at her with a slight smile.

“Have you forgotten the Basic Rights Act for Intelligent Beings?”

Although there was no direct answer, an answer had indeed been given.

The principal indeed did not prohibit it.

However, human civilization does have clear laws, forbidding the invasion of intelligent beings’ basic right to life for the purpose of plundering.

The emergence of this act was initially due to a breeding company discovering that within their bred transcendent livestock, an individual capable of spawning intelligent life had emerged.

Under the rules of this act, this independent individual was allowed to shed its “livestock” status and obtain the most basic right to life.

And it didn’t end there.

Although it itself would no longer be treated as livestock, its species was still not freed from the breeding industry. Therefore, this individual, starting from the lowest status in the human civilization system, gradually rose from affiliated civilization citizen to human civilization citizen, and then to a senior research fellow, ultimately finding a way to awaken intelligence for its entire species, successfully freeing them from being bred as livestock.

This entire true case spurred and facilitated the growth of the related act, which even now is a mandatory course in elementary school classrooms.

Thus, any student can actually find the answer.

This is after all just a military training, not some sort of test of conscience.

However, whether one can still adhere to the answer and the bottom line in the face of interests is indeed part of military training.

One could only say that Lai Xixue has realized that after this military training ends, both she and many others will inevitably change.

And then become even more resolute in their paths.

This is the era!

However, for Shen Hao, who is also paying attention to Lai Xixue at this moment, what he cares about most is whether Lai Xixue can also show affinity for the unique rules of plundering in this world.

This is enough to verify the extent to which Lai Xixue, this unprecedented Child of Destiny, has reached!
