The End of a Highly Advanced Technological Civilization Is Destruction
In fact, once the cultivation civilization ceases to exist, and technology develops to a certain level, humanity has two paths to take.
One approach is to create a virtual universe, like Zero-Dimensional Universe, capable of giving rise to real life, and then repeat the process of civilization development, which would simply lead to the destruction of civilization and the repetition of the previous one.
There is another path: humanity didn't create a virtual universe like Zero-Dimensional Universe, but instead created a virtual game world, just like the current Zero-Dimensional Universe.
This kind of thing might not die out quickly, but in reality, people spend almost all of their daily lives in the Virtual World.
Even commuting to and from work is done in the Virtual World.
However, life cannot truly be born in this controllable Virtual World, so the population is on a negative growth trend.
In today's Zero-Dimensional Universe, most human souls become other beings after death.
Therefore, the total population is only less than one hundred million, which is pitifully small.
Qin Hao was walking on a bustling street. Although it had a cyberpunk theme, the city was very desolate, as if it had been abandoned for countless years.
It's important to understand that the entire human territory is enormous, almost equivalent to 100 Earths in the Real World.
However, the total population is less than 100 million.
Fortunately, humans in the Zero-Dimensional Universe have very long lifespans, averaging 1,000 years. This allows them to develop technology very rapidly, even though they lack powerful strength.
"Alas! Humanity has become completely reliant on technology. In broad daylight, almost no one walks on the streets, and the city roads are in disrepair, resembling an apocalyptic scene."
It's laughable that the creatures on the outskirts still think of human territory as a fertile land, and they insist on invading the human world!
Qin Hao sighed.
Chaos Pagoda was puzzled by this. He knew that human technology in the Zero-Dimensional Universe was terrifying, and only those who had reached the Eternal Realm could resist human high-tech weapons.
However, Qin Hao said that this approach wouldn't work for humans.
Soon, Qin Hao took the Chaos Pagoda to all the human cities and suddenly realized that the reason humanity had come to this point was because there was no cultivation civilization.
An excessive pursuit of material life leads to a lack of spiritual fulfillment, so the more advanced technology becomes, the easier it is for a company to perish.
This is how Earth is in the Real World. Even if a Zero-Dimensional Universe could be created, civilization would still be destroyed, and all of humanity's memories would be wiped out.
Even after finally developing to the level of technology Real World, it will ultimately be destroyed by its highly advanced technological civilization.
"Fortunately, my choice back then was right. I chose to reincarnate ten times, transforming the Great Qian Universe into a new civilization that combines technological and cultivation civilizations."
Qin Hao was immediately filled with a sense of accomplishment, which is why he kept creating 64 universes.
Of the 64 universes, only the Great Qian Universe, the Haotian Universe, and the Primordial Universe truly contain life, including humanity, and thus can continuously give rise to new life.
Although he did add some dead souls from the Zero-Dimensional Universe to the universe he created, it was only for experimental purposes.
This also explains why the Kaiyuan Great Qian Universe within the Great Qian Kaiyuan Universe has a dedicated Ecological Continent for experiments. They are learning from Qin Hao's previous life, when he was the Great Heavenly Venerable of the Heavenly Human Universe, he advocated for the combined development of technology and cultivation.
In order to truly influence the entire Great Qian Universe, he devised a grand strategy.
He started setting things up from the very first of the 64 universes he created.
He ultimately chose the ten-life reincarnation cycle, but due to an unexpected event, he was reincarnated an extra time.
The ultimate goal of the Twelve Palaces Cultivation System is to create 64 universes and become the Ancestor of Eternal.
But creating 64 universes is no easy feat; Qin Hao reincarnated ten times before he finally succeeded.
Therefore, apart from Qin Hao, it is very difficult for anyone else in this world to reach the level of the Ancestor of Eternal.
The highest one can reach is the realm of the King of Eternal; there will be no higher.
"Alright, Little Pagoda, don't you like playing games? I remember when I went to the Nine-Layer Immortal Pagoda for trials, the fourth floor was where I played a game with you, right?"
Upon hearing this, Chaos Pagoda scratched the back of his head. It was he and Qing Tong who had done it on purpose, just to train Qin Hao.
However, he gave Qin Hao a cheat code, so he was practically invincible no matter how he played.
"Ahem, Master, we had no choice back then. If we hadn't pushed you, you might never have awakened your memories in this life and would have been stuck as an ordinary person!"
"Yeah, looking back now, I was too confident. I actually dared to do something so unreliable."
After a moment of reflection, the two arrived at an e-sports room.
Of course, because the technology in the Zero-Dimensional Universe is so advanced, only artificial intelligence exists in reality at this moment, while humans live in the Virtual World.
In the Real World, only the poor, who can't afford the nutrition game pods, have to get up every day to eat and replenish their nutrition.
As for sleeping, sorry, sleeping in the Virtual World is the same, because sleeping is about replenishing mental energy.
Welcome to Jiu Fa Fa Esports Club! Pay 10 RMB for unlimited play for one day! Longer play times will be charged after the game ends.
As soon as the two entered the store, an artificial intelligence voice rang out.
Immediately afterwards, a blue-glowing screen appeared in front of the two, displaying an identity verification document.
Fortunately, Qin Hao and the Chaos Pagoda in their first life were citizens of the Zero-Dimensional Universe, so they had identities.
Although ten lifetimes have passed, in the Zero-Dimensional Universe, only 10 years have actually elapsed.
Because a universe created in Zero-Dimensional Universe can also be considered Virtual World.
One day in the Real World is equivalent to one trillion years in the virtual universe.
One year in the Zero-Dimensional Universe would take 365 trillion years in the Great Qian Universe.
Therefore, the two were able to use the system immediately after verifying their identities, and because they already possessed considerable power, their accounts still had a large balance.
In Zero-Dimensional Universe, 10 yuan is equivalent to 10 RMB.
Don't be fooled by the small amount; it's just to help you turn on a computer.
Once you enter the Virtual World, money flows out as fast as water.
Because you also need food, clothing, shelter, and transportation in the Virtual World, and since you are in the Jiu Fa Fa Esports Club, your birthplace is the Jiufafa Club in the Virtual World.
You've just been born, you're just a baby, you can't even walk properly, so you need to spend money to find someone to take care of you, otherwise you'll soon die in the Virtual World and return to reality.
After paying, the two went to the e-sports room.
