Forty Millenniums of Cultivation

Detailed maps of the primeval relics, from the secret laboratory to the secret tunnels and teleportation arrays of the Heaven’s Origin Sector, as well as the techniques that the Supreme Emperor used to conquer the sea of stars, as well as the detailed structural designs and methods of the two super giant soldiers named ‘Gold Sun’ and ‘Armageddon’… Everything flashed inside Li Yao’s brain and permeated into his soul like silent raindrops.

Li Yao extended his hand and pressed the air.

He immediately sensed that bright gold waves were spreading out in the shape of a palm and echoing in the laboratory. The corpses of the Pangu Clan and the Nuwa Clan, the war machines left by the ancient civilization, and even the internal structure of the unknown magical equipment were all scanned clearly by him. Even the performance parameters were displayed in his vision.

The fatigue and wounds all over his body, needless to say, had been thrown out of the window. He felt that every cell in his body was like a grape that was so full that it was about to explode. Every movement he made was so refreshing!

Li Yao couldn’t help but roar in satisfaction.

When his boiling brain gradually calmed down, he remembered that he had brought a compatriot with ill intentions. “Huh?”

Li Yao glanced at Lu Qingchen and asked curiously, “You didn’t attack when I was absorbing the Supreme Emperor’s legacy? That’s not your style!”

“I would like to help you, but I don’t have the opportunity now that you are surrounded by the weird black mucus. Besides, you are roaring like a devil in it. Gold brilliance resembling sharp swords are darting out every now and then, each of which can cut my remaining soul into two halves. I’m not confident that I can kill you, either.

Lu Qingchen said casually, “Besides, as I said a long time ago, everything I did, no matter how cruel and insane it seemed to be, was for the best interests of the Star Glory Federation and all mankind. It is not against the interest of the federation that you got the legacy of the Supreme Emperor. Why should I be a villain and let the legacy of the Supreme Emperor fall into the hands of other people who are not from the federation?”

“If that is what is on your mind and you can make sure that you keep thinking and doing that, I won’t regret letting you go, and I hope

and send you back to the federation for trial.”

Li Yao looked at Lu Qingchen and said, “Wouldn’t it have been better if you had thought that way earlier?”

Lu Qingchen laughed.

“Are you so confident that the ‘right person’ that the Supreme Emperor is waiting for must be you?”

Lu Qingchen said casually, “It’s true that you have received the legacy of the Supreme Emperor and can even manipulate the ‘Gold Sun’ and the ‘Armageddon’. But so what? The Supreme Emperor was right. Strength and wisdom are definitely not the key to pass the ‘ultimate test’ of the makers of the black wall. In terms of pure strength and wisdom, it is impossible for us to catch up with the makers of the black wall even if we develop for another million years. The few problems that they left behind are enough to lock us all up. The destruction of a hundred ancient civilizations proves this point, too.

“I think that it must not have been the intention of the makers of the black wall. Since they went through all the trouble to build the tower and left the ultimate test, there must be a way to pass the test.

“Therefore, it’s not a big deal to let you receive the Supreme Emperor’s legacy. Such strength can even be a burden. The stronger you are, the more dazzling you will be, and the more likely you will become the target of the war machine and the Vicious Beast Tide. You will be attacked by both sides at the same time, and you will be ‘tested’ as the most important target. How do you know that I can’t pass the test from a different angle when you are exhausted and the oil wells are running dry?

“However, I did make one terrible mistake.

“I didn’t know that so many mysteries of the primeval era were hidden in the seemingly useless gene segments of human beings. If the bloodlines of the primeval era were fully unlocked, our civilization would have made a qualitative leap. It was not wrong of me to abandon the body of human beings and keep only the brain, or even the brain, so that all human beings could be purely virtualized and energyized. But I was too hasty. We should’ve been able to unlock 100% of the ancient bloodlines and explore the mysteries hidden inside our bodies before we implemented the Phantom Plan.

“It makes sense now that I think about it. The genes of human beings are a very efficient form of information compression and storage. No medium is more suitable to store the strength and glory of billions of civilizations than the cells of human beings themselves. The super crystal processors can do all that, but their energy consumption is much higher than those of ordinary cells.

“A whole civilization is condensed deep inside every body, every cell, and every gene strand… Why didn’t I think of such a brilliant answer earlier?

“It’s not easy.”

Li Yao said, “It seems to be more difficult to hear you admit your mistake than to kill you ten thousand times. If it is not another scheme of yours but a sincere realization of your mistake, you will redeem yourself with your life just like the Supreme Emperor did!

“It all depends on whether or not you decide to break into the ‘heavenly tower’ and activate the ‘ultimate test’.”

Lu Qingchen’s soul glanced over Li Yao and asked, “Can you?”

Li Yao pondered for a long time.

He extended his hand to Little Black.

After merging with the liquid crystal processor that had been lurking in the secret laboratory, Little Black had been fully upgraded and had the permissions to control the entire laboratory

The Supreme Emperor had even installed a lot of surveillance magical equipment in the laboratory, from which one could clearly see what was happening on the ground, inside the City of Silver, and especially around the ‘heavenly tower’.

Shua! Shua! Shua! Shua!

Almost a hundred light beams appeared in midair and constituted a virtual City of Silver, allowing Li Yao and Lu Qingchen to see the entire battlefield clearly.

It took Li Yao six hours to digest the knowledge of the Supreme Emperor.

Over the past six hours, unexpected changes had taken place on the battlefield.

The ferocious beasts besieging the Tower Tower’ had made significant progress. The battle fortresses and firing points that surrounded the ‘Tower Tower’ were all swallowed by the black beast tide. Countless guardians were either savaged by the ferocious beasts or infected by the virus themselves and turned into abnormal beasts.

Some of the floating fortresses had even been corroded by the long-range acids and venomous fog of the ferocious beasts and lost the ability to resist gravity. They fell from the sky and turned into twisted, burning debris. A lot of ferocious beasts flooded into the “Tower Tower’.

The roots of the ‘starter tower’ were like the interconnecting roots of a giant tree. But right now, they had been corroded by the deadly venomous fungi. Their previously spotless silver color had turned into ugly gray and black, which spread upwards like patches of mold and soon covered one third of the lower part of the ‘starter tower’.

Corroded by the black spots and the mold, black swirls even appeared on the surface of the ‘heavenly tower’. A lot of ferocious beasts dived into the swirls and vanished, as if they were infiltrating the ‘heavenly tower’ through the swirls.

There was no telling what the situation inside the Tower Tower’ was like, or whether or not the guards who were still rational were all dead, or whether or not the guards would mutate into ferocious beasts both physically and mentally before they died and do something crazy.

For example, he could completely activate the ‘Pantheon Tower’, destroy everything inside and outside the primeval ruins, and restart the entire Pangu Universe.

Li Yao could not help but shudder.

Taking a closer look at the ferocious beasts on the chaotic battlefield, Li Yao gradually noticed something wrong.

He had thought that the Vicious Beast Tide belonged to the same camp and was an army.

It was not until now that he discovered that the ferocious beasts were different, too. They seemed to be divided into two camps.

Sometimes, in the vast majority of the ferocious beasts that had gone completely mad, some of the prehistoric warriors still retained their rationality even though part of their bodies had mutated.

They were the real commanders of the Vicious Beast Tide, but they were divided into two hostile camps, each with the goal of taking over the Heavenly Path Tower. Intense conflicts and conflicts were inevitable, too.

However, most of the ferocious beasts were driven by the desire for slaughter and destruction, and they were not very willing to be controlled. Also, they were in a hurry to break into the ‘Tower Tower’ and did not want to suffer heavy losses before the ‘Tower Tower’ fell. Therefore, there were no conflicts.

Li Yao scanned the entire battlefield.

With the legacy of the Supreme Emperor, his intelligence analysis ability had significantly improved. Very soon, he had locked onto the highest commander of the two Vicious Beast Tide groups. Behind the tide of ferocious beasts in the east was a Pangu Clan member who was as tall as a mountain but had mutated on the left side of his body. There was a giant lump on his shoulder that looked like two heads.

Although half of his body was seriously deformed, the intimidating aura emanating from him was still piercing at Li Yao’s eyes through the barrier of the surveillance magical equipment and the light beam.

The malformed sarcoma was fluctuating like a heart. A transparent ball was rolling inside, which looked like a giant eyeball that had been sealed. It was extremely weird and terrifying.

Feverish steam was spurting out of the wrinkles of the leader of the Pangu Clan, indicating that his brain was overloading and releasing intense brainwaves that drove his army forward unstoppably. Behind the tide of murderers in the west was another hideous-looking Nuwa.

Generally speaking, the Nuwa Clan had a human head and a snake body, but her body was like the amalgamation of a boa and a centipede. Dozens of coldly-shining claws grew out of her ribs and her back. A pair of thin wings grew out of her back, which were covered in blood-red membranes. Even her face looked like a skull that had been drained of all her blood. She was only able to release the flames of destruction because she was driven by a certain crazy force.

The leader of the Nuwa Clan waved his saber, too, driving his subordinates into a rampage.

The two leaders soon disappeared in the swirl of the beast tide and melted into the enormous ‘mold’ and ‘black spot’. Maybe they had entered the ‘heavenly tower’ before Li Yao did!
