Mythology: Ragnarok

Chapter 354 The Dark Domain of Mind

"My first question is, has your home planet achieved a unified and universal language?"

"Um...no, does it have any impact?"

"It doesn't really have much of an impact. The diversity of language systems makes the development of education more difficult. You said there are sixteen countries in your hometown, right? Since these countries exist, doesn't that mean that everyone has their own strengths in certain areas? In order to coordinate wisdom, a lot of unnecessary time and energy will be wasted on learning languages. In that case, compared with those civilizations that have already achieved unification, you will naturally lag far behind in education and development speed. This problem is not fatal, it's just that there is an insurmountable gap in the speed of development. Now, let me continue."

My second question is: Does your hometown have mature genetic evolution technology or already have a plan to improve itself?

"From what I understand, I'm afraid not. After all, you know that taking this path would involve a great sacrifice."

"Okay, so the third question is whether your hometown relies on the urbanization model for development, whether urbanization is a necessary transition or whether you plan to rely on this method for development?"

"I'm not too clear on this issue either, but the countries in my hometown are basically all urbanized."

"Okay, fourth question. Since you don't have a genetic engineering program and don't independently improve genes, do you waste unnecessary energy on food processing? In other words, do you rely on industrialized food processing?"

"Yes... there is."

"Sigh~, then the fifth question, are your businesses strictly regulated to serve the species as their fundamental purpose, ensuring the equitable distribution and efficient use of resources?"

"Um... well... I'm not really sure either."

"Okay, I understand. The sixth question, your hometown... shouldn't be involved in the field of artificial intelligence, right?"

"Ah, no, my hometown has actually made quite a few achievements in this field."

"So... do you have any ideas about changing these approaches and taking a different path?"

"Um... I don't know."

Takmira's expression gradually turned to despair. He casually tossed the tablet in his hand to the ground and then said dismissively, "Guest, you really know how to give me a difficult problem. I can't solve this. Even if you used a cosmic-level computer, you couldn't calculate the future of this kind of civilization. The six major hazards that the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Races has identified as hindering the development of civilization, and your hometown is involved in every single one of them. Your question is like asking me if someone who is addicted to gambling, drugs, prostitution, smoking, cheating, swindling, and stealing can become a great person. I can only say that it's not impossible, but mathematically speaking, it's infinitely close to zero or almost equivalent to nothing."

Please don't ask me to predict the future of your hometown. If you want me to predict when it will perish, I can give you some reference data.

Seeing that Takmira was speaking recklessly, Gulasga quickly winked at him and reminded him to watch his words through the Dragon God's gift.

But the rebellious Tagmira clearly ignored Gulasga's advice and said seriously to Xuanyuan Muze, "You may not know how terrible the situation is in your hometown right now. Let me put it this way: just now, in the gift from the Dragon God, we specially gave the problem of your hometown a new name: 'Mind Dark Domain,' and the problem you raised has officially become the number one unsolvable puzzle in the Academy of Sciences."

Xuan Yuan Muze asked awkwardly, "What is 'mind black zone'?"

Tank Mira explained, "The Dark Domain is formed by extreme distortion of space. Even light becomes extremely slow in the Dark Domain. Only gods who break through the speed limit can move at high speed in the Dark Domain. So the Dark Domain is actually quite terrifying, since even gods are affected by this forced slowdown."

The influence of the dark zone on outer space is virtually impossible to completely eliminate using scientific methods. Therefore, we generally refer to the 'dark zone' as a problem that cannot be solved by science. However, speaking of this, I have to tell you a joke that our universe heard fifty years ago.

On a planet called 'Skyvin' in this universe, there initially lived a primitive civilization. They accidentally discovered the existence of a nation of myriad races. To resist our invasion, they used technology to darken a region half a light-year away from their planet, creating a natural slowing barrier to defend against us. They then eked out a living in their secluded paradise within.

Xuanyuan Muze asked, puzzled, "What's so funny about that?"

“Using the Dark Domain to protect themselves is essentially like a coward hiding in the mud. Moreover, once the space is altered by the Dark Domain, all the rules at the micro level will be affected. Their so-called paradise will instantly become a living hell. Even if they have some brains and set up the Dark Domain half a light-year away from their home, they have only created a confinement room that can sustain them for less than half a month.”

What's most terrifying is that this also locked up all their futures, trapping them in a deadly situation. Like foolish turtles, they thought they could survive by hiding. What a ridiculous race! They didn't even realize that the only way to protect themselves in this world is to be strong. Fortunately, the Spirit Child of the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Races discovered them immediately and used spatial magic to erase the dark domain, saving his life. Otherwise, these fools would have almost died because of their ignorance.

When we heard this news, we couldn't stop laughing. They were stupid, yet they knew how to deal with us; they were clever, yet they almost brought about their own destruction and had to rely on their enemy for help. Later, this civilization wisely surrendered and remained loyal to the Kingdom of All Races. However, this dark history has spread throughout the multiverse and is still talked about today. Therefore, your homeland is called the Dark Realm of Thought because we think it's an even more ridiculous joke and an unsolvable problem.

Xuanyuan Muze felt humiliated, so he angrily grabbed Tagmira's clothes and shouted, "My hometown is not as bad as you say, take back what you said!"

Tagmira looked at him without fear, then scoffed disdainfully, "Since you think it's so good, let's have a proper discussion about the logic of those six questions we just asked. I'll leave you speechless and even make you admit that if your hometown doesn't make changes, it's doomed!"

Xuan Yuan Mu Ze, suppressing his anger, released Tagmira and said, "Fine, I'm all ears now. If you can't give me a convincing explanation, this isn't over between us!"
