"Well said!" Chen Feng nodded, emphasizing his tone, "I don’t see you as mere children. You represent the next generation of humanity, the next era. The true glory of human civilization is to be sculpted by you, but before that, for a long time, our sole purpose is to survive in the face of our enemies!"
Chen Feng spoke with gravity, and the children could feel this seriousness.
Indeed, they were young.
And still quite unfamiliar with this world.
Yet, their abilities, their intelligence, are enough to allow them to understand many things. Once understood clearly at this moment and imprinted deeply in their hearts, it will influence them for a lifetime.
This isn’t a capacity unique to human civilization; any civilization that has developed to a certain height possesses it. At such a level, people inevitably maintain a high degree of consistency in certain respects across generations.
Only by reaching this level can internal conflicts and missteps be minimized to the greatest extent.
Otherwise, how would so many powerful civilizations appear?
The more powerful and advanced a civilization is, the better it maintains its development.
After finishing speaking these simple words, in front of everyone, Chen Feng slowly exhaled.
As these words fell, the long-prepared instrument began to operate slowly.
All the Daike People directly emerged from their bewildered state.
Their Primordial Energy Mastery was not low, and they awakened instantly.
Yet they quickly realized the environment they were in.
But they portrayed an emotion of fearlessness.
Even if it’s not true fearlessness, as individuals of a C-level Civilization, one of the monarchs of this cosmos, they wouldn’t beg or be overtaken by fear, unlike individuals from lower civilizations.
Even faced with being made into Primordial Energy Batteries, facing endless pain, these Daike People wouldn’t likely be afraid or terrified.
This is not just because they know being afraid is useless, but because their culture has already penetrated their consciousness.
That is the culture of the Hunter, facing all the weak and strong with courage.
Of course, facing such circumstances, Chen Feng had already prepared.
"You are already captives of human civilization," he declared, as if making a pronouncement, "Next, you will serve as labor, to serve human civilization."
"That’s impossible," said one of the Daike People, not the Didike, "Daike People are fearless; if we fail, we won’t just eke out an existence."
Though they looked entirely different from humans, at this moment, everyone could clearly sense the intelligence of a sentient being within its attitude and words.
Also, there was a spirit of great sacrifice.
Even the calmness of its emotions confirmed its words.
The Daike People could be defeated in battle but would never be driven.
Some of the children showed slight changes in their expressions. Though their IQs were extremely high, after all, they were still just children. Witnessing the formidable will of an enemy civilization, they were also shook.
However, Chen Feng maintained an indifferent attitude.
"Suit yourselves," he said, then raised a hand, revealing a black device.
Everyone recognized what this device was.
At once, the Daike who had spoken was thrown into it; the device quickly compressed, dissolving his body and leaving only the most primitive consciousness carrier, the brain, to become an efficient Primordial Energy Battery in extreme pain.
Yes, this is the real Primordial Energy Battery.
Initially, Shen Shi thought it was possible to release people made into batteries from the battery, but this idea lacked common sense. Primordial Energy comes from consciousness; to create a battery, only a consciousness carrier is required. Why put the whole person in?
Some higher-grade battery enclosures directly bind the consciousness carrier entirely to the device, with no possibility of escape.
At most, one can find release.
The current Primordial Energy Battery device has this characteristic.
And after doing this openly, some of the Daike People were indeed shaken.
"What’s there to fear!" Some other Daike People emanated strong emotions, "This is the fate of defeat. The Daike People never evade defeat, nor do they fear torture..."
The one shouting the most, with the strongest will, was the Didike.
He truly had no fear.
This is also because his Primordial Energy Mastery was strong enough.
However, Chen Feng then spoke slowly.
"You should understand, being made into Primordial Energy Batteries is the most profitable action for us. However, you are fortunate. We need a batch of slaves, so choose for yourselves: become a slave or become a Primordial Energy Battery." Chen Feng’s tone and demeanor were very calm.
As if he were talking about something trivial.
However, for many Daike People, this attitude rather increased their struggle.
The Daike People who had been speaking also fell silent.
Because they detected the "trivial" nature of it.
Indeed, their choice held no significance for the enemies who captured them.
