Chapter 583: 547 Evangelical Institute’s Killing

Since in today’s world after the fusion, there have been faults and errors in the parts of human activity history, then these parts should be completely erased.

However, even if all the power of Impermanence is gathered, it still can’t completely erase the parts of human activity history over the past tens or hundreds of millions of years. Not to mention that these parts also include their own existence, even if one doesn’t touch the human history of the abnormal world, merely erasing the human history of the common world is an extremely vast project. I don’t believe they can complete it all before Doomsday arrives.

Thus, the Evangelical Institute chose the simplest method—since the problem is human history, why not kill all humans?

Of course, even if this is done, the marks left by humans on Earth won’t disappear, and the fact that "humans once existed on this planet" won’t change; human history will still objectively exist. But at least, this self-contradictory process won’t continue running.

The mistakes made in the past affecting the planet’s spacetime environment won’t vanish immediately either, but at least they won’t continue to worsen. And spacetime has a mechanism for self-repair, which is that previously mentioned "historical correction force." Ultimately, the world’s order will return to a healthy operational state.

From purely a "world-saving" perspective, this is indeed an impeccable and simple plan, and it is highly feasible. It’s merely the effortless task of destroying all of humanity, and it doesn’t even require the four human gods of the Evangelical Institute; I alone can accomplish it. But, is this approach truly meaningful?

The reason humans should promote environmentalism is that the destruction of the environment by industrial activities will ultimately bear bittersweet fruit as feedback onto themselves. Conversely, if the protection of the environment must be premised upon the destruction of human life itself, then environmentalism becomes an Evil.

"Saving the world" is also the same. Once the world is destroyed, all life and non-life it carries, including humans, will have nowhere to bury their dead. But if all of humanity has a way to switch to another world to continue living, and their quality of life and development prospects won’t diminish in the slightest, then it becomes impossible for anyone to rush forward, risking death to prevent Doomsday.

To prevent Doomsday from descending upon the world, yet first bringing about Doomsday for humanity... isn’t that putting the cart before the horse?

Even the Extraordinary Fanatic, who views common people as insignificant, wouldn’t do so. After all, common people are seen by them as a very useful resource, and they must at least ensure the continuation of their race.

Soon, No. 7 answered my doubts.

"The Evangelical Institute, although targeting the slaughter of all humans, has a very slight margin in this goal."

Having once been a high-level figure of the Evangelical Institute, she spoke with confidence regarding them, "After all, they themselves are a human force, and if they leave no margin at all, they would have to destroy themselves too. Moreover, human life force is very resilient, even if the Evangelical Institute conducts a massive cleanse on the surface world, it’s uncertain whether just a few could miraculously survive."

She seemed to slightly organize her words and continued: "It’s said that in the ancient Ice Age, forced by the overly harsh natural environment and super volcanic eruptions among other disastrous factors, the total number of humans once decreased to the thousands, and today’s humans are descendant from these ancient humans.

"And from a scientific research perspective, to maintain genetic diversity and reduce the genetic disease hazards caused by inbreeding, humanity might only require five hundred people to evolve into a large-scale population again.

"So according to the information we have here, the human gods of the Evangelical Institute intend to extremely minimally retain a three-digit to four-digit number of humans, and then conduct a comprehensive cleanse on the eighty billion total population of the living world, while simultaneously destroying everything accumulated from the birth of humanity—their history, culture, language, technology, creations...—and in the distant future, restart the concept of ’human history.’

"As long as it’s restarted from zero, it won’t inherit past faults and errors, and humanity can flourish again on future land."

Contrary to the absurdity and extremity upon first hearing, it turns out the Evangelical Institute’s plan not only considered the solution to the Doomsday issue but also thoughtfully deliberated the aftermath of solving it.

This plan is likely far richer and more detailed than I had imagined.

"But such an approach, is it not too..." Little Bowl sighed, "Moreover... this plan is merely theoretical, right? What if Doomsday isn’t a disaster that can be averted simply by killing eighty billion humans? Or do they actually have some practical basis for their plan?"

"There indeed is." No. 7 said, "The existence of anomalies suffices to prove the feasibility of their plan.

"All clues currently point to Doomsday as a disaster originated from humanity, with anomalies merely being caught in it. Don’t you find that somewhat strange? Clearly, in past history, anomalies also exhibited contradictions not supposed to exist, yet made no impact on the common world, and the coming of Doomsday is unrelated to them."

I tried to propose a direction: "Isn’t it because, unlike the order-pursuing humans, anomalies act with full of unknowable chaos, making it possible to justify anything about them? Just like without structure, there’s no structural conflict, without logic, there’s no paradox."
