MTL - Overturned Tower-v2 Chapter 100 Humanity can't learn any lessons from history

【Overturned Tower】【】

Russell took a deep breath.

There was no obvious smile on his face, but the emerald green pupils became extremely bright.

Just watching "strangling" and "bad ones" transform into "Mahavira" and "Wolf Words", these two people who are very similar in every sense finally cut off their painful past and ushered in Now that he was happy, Russell felt that his heart was satisfied.

He was still a little confused about the future. But now, he can finally be convinced that the path he is on is definitely not a wrong path.

Not for absolute justice, nor for eternal victory...

He cannot become the "God of Justice". As a human being, he cannot give everyone an absolutely fair sentence, nor can he become a judge recognized by everyone. Because he really realized that... what people desire is not just as simple as justice.

Essentially, what people long for is the "happiness" brought about by "justice". And to reach the other shore of happiness, what is needed is not just justice.

People need more abundant resources, so people want to meet the "basis for survival"; people want a more convenient way of life, so people need enough "wisdom"; people want to eliminate unnecessary disputes, so people Want to achieve "understanding"; people hope that they can become better, and self-confidence from the heart needs to become "strong and beautiful".

People hope that the world will become "just", that everyone can become "rich", and that the future will always be full of "hope".

— and Russell is not an omnipotent god. Even if "God" is resurrected, He cannot accomplish all this.

Because everyone's desires are inherently in conflict. Everyone's thoughts are slightly different from other people's. And if these seemingly small differences extend infinitely for a long time, they will become countless different futures.

Russell was confused because of this.

He cannot satisfy all desires, let alone satisfy all thirsts. Even if he defeated the monkey-faced eagle together with the sheath, he also had his own desire—he wanted to defeat the sheath.

And after that, he will have to defeat the dragon again, gain the approval of the directors of the elves, or defeat it; he will also devour the fantasy dream. In the future, what will he defeat and devour?

There are endless twilight species in the universe. If he is defeated, will all the struggles he has done before become meaningless?

And if he keeps getting stronger to take care of everyone and defeat all enemies, then is he a weapon, a person, an omnipotent statue, or a disaster-solving machine?

—Although in front of the Pope, Russell showed his determination and realized the loopholes and flaws in the "promotion" plan.

But thinking about it later, Russell would rather not see such a long-term future.

He knew that the pope's plan would eventually fail, and that the "now" he had sacrificed to protect him would be in vain... But if the time dimension continues to stretch, considering the future thousands of years later, and facing new enemies At that time, he still chose the "old plan", so why not the next "promotion"-whether he will be defeated by the next brave man?

As long as Russell is a human being, he cannot always be right; but if he wants to become a god, wouldn't he be on the old path of promotion and monkey-faced eagle? How can he prove that he is right?

But now... Russell's complicated and painful heart finally got a little release.

The bad guy, who always had a cold face, now turned his head with a little shyness on his face; the ferocious and cruel strangler, now curled up beside the operating chair like a tamed big cat. Their hearts used to be painful and lonely, but now they have all found the meaning of their existence.

The inferior gave up the pointless and meaningless revenge, and strangled also gave up his self-deceiving "betrayal".

They all thought that they would spend their whole lives on this road as the price. When they walked that road, they never considered that they would one day leave here.

But if they are now, look back...

. You will definitely realize your immaturity in the past and feel ashamed of your extremes.

It definitely makes sense.

He doesn't need to be a devil, a saint, or a god. Because Russell didn't take on all that, gave up the awareness of smiling to appreciate the tiny happiness in front of him.....

Because from the very beginning, he didn't need to think about such a distant future.

He is just a "hero".

Not to eliminate all tragedies, nor to defeat all evils and demon kings—not extreme and sharp blades, but a mirror-like shield like Aegis.

A hero who fights to protect "happiness".

Do everything in your power and do your best to save all the tragedies around you...

Love people, so love more people; love human beings, so love the world.

"…thank you all."

Without warning, Russell thanked the strangler and the inferior.

Both of them were very dazed and confused, but Russell showed a relaxed smile like a cat.

Russell can even rescue those who have been burdened with a heavy past like strangulation and inferiority from tragedy—wouldn’t it be easier to help others?

Just like the name of "Fuji Society".

Organizations that exist only to help others—and if that's the case, don't think much more.

Russell suddenly understood why the mentor opened the door and threw him away without discussing with him at all.

Because at that time, he couldn't say anything meaningful. He has lost his strongest "argument", so he can only talk in empty words.

Needless to say. Russell just needs to send him over and witness the happiness of the two, and Russell will naturally understand everything.

"I see……"

Combined with the last conversation with the mentor, Russell finally understood the ultimate purpose of the mentor as a "door opener" to pull himself over.

Her wish is to completely overthrow the "Tower of the End".

This meant unsealing the dream, but that was not her purpose.

Because it also means that this world, which has been stranded for thousands of years, will truly be connected to the dream world. It's like a device turned on airplane mode and connected to the Internet again... At that time, the world will experience real tests and also usher in real opportunities.

If Russell is still afraid of those unknown difficulties, standing in place to fear those future disasters and not daring to move forward... How is this different from those scumbags who are afraid of the end of the world and the collapse of the sky?

Russell also finally understood how to refute the Pope—

It's like the fight is over, and after going home to bed, waking up in the middle of the night - I should have said that!

—Because after all, this is not a world that "belongs" to them.

The world does not belong to promotion, much less to Russell; people are freer. They did not conquer this world, and this planet is not their private property. That being the case, they have no right to stagnate the development of the world and kill a certain possibility of the future because they are afraid of future disasters.

That's just too arrogant. And short-sighted.

Russell realized with some guilt... The words he decried the Pope before could also be used on himself.

Since it is a matter of the future, let the future solve it; since it is a disaster for all future mankind, then let it be resolved by all future mankind. Standing in the "now" to look at the future, you will always feel worry and fear; but the human beings in the future are not limited to the present level.

"Wait, the teacher didn't mean to say..."

Russell suddenly remembered the sentence "Think about what Russell would do" that the instructor said. He originally thought that this was the instructor playing tricks again

But now after waking up, looking back - he realized that his mentor had already given him the answer.

Because the "Russell" here does not refer to him, but the "philosopher Russell".

That "Russell" believed that all human activities originate from impulse

with wishes. And the good of the individual is the realization of the "wish" in it.

People want to satisfy their own wishes, and human beings are social animals, he will always love others. If one wants to satisfy the wishes of the greatest number of people, one should pursue the universal good as a matter of course.

Although individual desires are different and even conflict, where desires can coexist, there is always more "summary of goodness" than where desires conflict, and can "satisfy a greater total amount of desires." That is to say, the "universal good" is convergent and can take its limit—it will eventually converge to the "coexistence of desires."

Therefore, the universal good is necessarily feasible in a sufficiently long-or infinitely far future. Love is preferable to hate, cooperation is preferable to competition, help is preferable to plunder, peace is preferable to war. The only problem is that humans cannot reach "infinity", so they must speed up.

In order to seek the ultimate salvation through accelerated means, human beings must resort to science.

Science does not refer to "steel technology that excludes psionic energy and magic", but refers to a knowledge system based on testable explanations that predict objective things, and a practical method of understanding the world.

It’s not just Sogo Island’s desire for endless truth, nor is it the inductive knowledge system and decryption of ancient technology in Sun Island, nor is it the integration of Tongshen Island’s industrial system. Not truth, not knowledge, not technology—but a clear method.

Since the future of humanity is already at stake, it will only be possible if humanity is indeed on the path of greater possibility, and when enough people are fully aware of it. rest assured.

—The path of elves and dragons was wrong from the very beginning.

They shouldn't hide the truth about the future and cover up the history of the past~www.novelbuddy.com~ If they had announced everything from the very beginning, maybe thousands of years have passed, and human beings have already thought of a solution to the problem.

They still use the perspective of the past disaster to fear the future disaster, firmly regard it as the "unstoppable" doomsday, and attack all optimists who deny the doomsday. The destruction of the old human civilization frightened the eighty-four inheritors... so they chose "as rulers" to rule the world with their own correct knowledge.

Well, looking back...

—What is the difference between this and the promotion plan?

The mistakes made by the elves who inherited the name a thousand years ago are exactly the same as their promotion today. They all sacrificed the entire "now" in order to fight against future disasters. With confidence in his pure and firm will, he became "the forerunner, caretaker and guardian of mankind", and became the most special ruler.

In order not to let themselves become decayed, they specially made their spirits and hearts immortal. They paid enough for it. But thousands of years have passed, and these immortals are still corrupted by time.

The end is near. They become desperate, decadent, and depraved.

The pope "promoted" hates the ignorance, dullness and conservatism of those elves, but he is also walking on this road. Russell, who wanted to become a **** in the confusion before, gradually walked towards this path unconsciously.

"The only lesson mankind has learned from history is that no lesson has been learned from history..."

Humans keep repeating the same mistakes over and over again.

Russell didn't realize the weight of this sentence until now. In the era of obliterating [history], even this most important warning has been forgotten by everyone.
