Chapter 3059 Primordial Test
Li Yao listened attentively and finally took a long breath in relief.
So this is the truth. It is indeed much more complicated and reasonable than the version in the history books.
Li Yao thought to himself, However, there are still a lot of details that I dont know about in the last words of the Supreme Emperor. According to the legends, he trained as two clones in the beginningthe Sky Splitter Emperor and the Star Ocean Emperor. What is going on exactly? Also, other than the strongest clone of the Mad Armageddon, Blood G.o.d, he has nineteen other clones. Are they part of his personality, too? What are the endings of the clones? History was like a sand painting in the middle of a storm. Time would erode all traces of history. The answers to such questions would probably never be found. Even the last words of the Supreme Emperor might not be 100% true. The details that could only be left to the imagination of the latecomers.
At least for the most part, the Supreme Emperor fulfilled his promise and killed the three freaks that he had created himselfBlood G.o.d, the Mad Armageddon, the Star Ocean Imperium, and himself, the Supreme Emperor who led all mankind but could also suppress all mankind!
After ten thousand years of darkness and chaos, when the sea of stars was unified again, it did not adopt the imperial system anymore but was reborn as the Republic of Star Ocean. Although the Blood G.o.ds remnant soul had revived the Imperium of True Human Beings, new hopes such as the Star Glory Federation had emerged in the periphery of the sea of stars, too. It was impossible for any authoritative ruler, no matter if they were the emperor, the supreme one, the true G.o.d, or any other person, to cover the sky with one hand. It was impossible forever!
For the regretful Supreme Emperor, this was perhaps the best salvation and the ending he wanted most.
As he expected, there was warmth in the gravekeepers voice.
As you know, these are my last words. Ive recorded more than one similar recording. Different endings in the universe thousands of years later have corresponding last words.
The tomb watcher said, Im very happy that the last words have been presented to you, because it means that the information collection magical equipment I sent to the outside world has detected that the outside world is a world full of vitality, and the civilization of mankind is finally free and liberated. Even though it is just a small beginning, it is developing in a brighter and brighter direction.
Maybe, you are more qualified than us to complete the mission buried in the primeval relics!
To make a long story short, I almost killed Blood G.o.d, the Mad Armageddon, in the battle of Empyreal Terminus and destroyed the main force of the rebels. However, I was on the verge of death, too.
Death is just a familiar long sleep for me. Im not scared of death, but Im not willing to vanish into thin air with so many questions. Where did human beings come from? Are we natives of the Pangu Universe? Or are we from the vast and terrifying multiverse outside? What kind of power could drive us to this place? What kind of power could even force us to completely erase our existence and only dare to sprout again after hibernating for billions of years? Whats in the depths of the ancient relics? What are the Pangu Civilization and the ancient civilizations looking for? If I was the only successful embryo created by the Pangu Civilization, why did the Pangu Universe become the world of human beings tens of thousands of years later? Whats going on with the techniques hidden in the depths of my gene pool? Why am I the only one who can be activated and released? Is it possible to find a way to make all human beings become like me? If its possible, is this change good or bad for the interests of the entire civilization of mankind?
e were so ma
There were so many questions that I couldnt find an answer to. I was not willing to die with endless regret.
Naturally, I thought of my hometown, the primeval relics that were still frozen in time. I dragged my incomplete body back to this place.
At that time, I already had a high understanding of the dangers of the ancient relics. I didnt want to cause more innocent people to die for me, nor did I want the reckless guys to trigger the traps deep inside the ancient relics. Therefore, I didnt bring any subordinates with me. I was alone. Before that, I had destroyed most of the files about the ancient relics and set up many bluffing, complicated traps.
Many advanced ancient civilizations, including the Pangu civilization, failed to find the answer. Instead, they were obliterated and vanished into thin air. I dont want the civilization of mankind to follow in their footsteps. Therefore, well talk about it again when my compatriots have pushed the civilization forward thousands of years and become more intelligent, rational, and courageous. It was why I was unwilling to tell the whole truth ten thousand years ago. The feeling of entering the ancient relics again after a hundred years is slightly different from before. To be precise, the jelly-like feeling is thinner than before. When I pa.s.s through the frozen battleground, it is not as exhausting as before. Also, I can drag items and even corpses out of the ever-increasing grey swirls for my research.
I know that it is a sign that the arc of time in the primeval relics is about to return to normal.
Its like when you unsheathe your saber and slash the waves, leaving an obvious arc in the water. No matter how much strength you use, no matter how much spiritual energy you blast out, no matter how deep the canyon is, the water on both sides will eventually drown the canyon and flatten the ripples. The small ripples will meld into the overall ripples of the ocean.
There is not much time left for me and the human civilization.
The time inside the primeval relics has been frozen for hundreds of thousands of years. For the technology of the Pangu Civilization, this was already the limit. Judging from the change in the radius of the curvature within a short span of a hundred years, the arc of time will completely disappear in 12,000 to 15,000 years. The frozen time will flow at the normal speed again, and the battlefield will return to its original state. The ferocious beasts and war machines sealed inside wont even realize that theyve been hibernating for hundreds of thousands of years. Not to mention hundreds of thousands of years, even a few million years of hibernation wont stop them from continuing the war of destruction.
In the end, whether it is the ferocious beasts that completely swallow the City of Silver or the ancient relics that unleash their true power and annihilate the Vicious Beast Tide, the Pangu Civilization, and the human civilization, just like they destroyed hundreds of ancient civilizations, it will be a catastrophe for all of us.
Im going to die.
The cruel experiments in the embryonic period, breaking the curvature of time when I was a child, and pa.s.sing through one wormhole after another without any protection, including the torture in the slave mines when I was a teenager, and the near-death experiences, the awakening, the recovery, and the breakthroughs when I was in my prime years in the s.p.a.ce battlegrounds All these things bombarded my body on a genetic level, making my seemingly strong body as weak as a piece of burnt rotten wood.
I can feel that my vitality is flowing out of every cell that is riddled with holes. Even the frozen time is not enough to keep me alive. The only thing I can do is slow down the deterioration of my cells. I have to seize every second to conduct more experiments and explore more places for the latecomers. I believe that there will be latecomers with the wisdom and courage of human beings. I have to burn my soul to provide the last guidance for you.
A white-haired old man appeared in front of Li
Yao.
At this moment, he was no longer as dominating and tough as he used to be when he was the Supreme Emperor. His back was hunched, and he was breathing heavily, like an old man who was on the brink of death. He was a veteran who had lost a lot of blood while he was chasing after the truth. Yet, he was not willing to stop moving forward and even tried to guide the latecomers with his b.l.o.o.d.y footprints.
I circ.u.mvented the s.p.a.ce bubble and explored most of the areas of White Silver City, including most of the laboratories established by the Pangu Civilization and the places where the captives of the Tidal Tide Legion were locked. I also found a lot of dead bodies, both those of the Pangu Civilization and those of the ferocious beasts that they turned into. I even dissected, dismantled, and studied the remains of the war machines left by the ancient civilization in great detail, trying to infer the purpose of the countless civilizations gathering in the primeval relics and the reason why the Pangu Civilization created human beings at the cost of tremendous resources. In the end, I finally found some clues.
The tomb watcher said, It seems that the City of Silver did not exist in the primeval relics in the beginning. There was only a heavenly tower that led to the universe in the vast universe. The heavenly tower was the creation of the creator of the black wall and the pivot that drove the black wall that covered the Pangu Universe. The creator of the black wall left a mysterious test in the heavenly tower. The experts and scholars of the Pangu civilization believed that, as long as they pa.s.sed the test, they would be able to become the master of the tower and inherit all the knowledge of the creator of the black wall. They would also be able to manipulate the black wall freely and expand the Pangu Universe by a hundred times instantly!
However, how could it be easy to pa.s.s the test of the creator of the black wall? The experts and scholars of the Pangu Civilization found countless debris around the tower. The broken war machines and the appalling corpses and fossils were the remnants of the failed tests of countless ancient civilizations.
At least a hundred ancient civilizations tried to pa.s.s the test of the makers of the black wall, but they all failed. The price of failure was that the entire civilization was wiped out!
Such consequences naturally deterred the experts and scholars of the Pangu Civilization from acting rashly. Their research found that, of the hundred ancient civilizations, at least twenty were as advanced as the Pangu Civilization, if not more. They basically exhausted all the evolution paths of the carbon-based intelligent creatures. Since the ancient civilizations failed, it was very likely that the Pangu Civilization failed to pa.s.s the test.
