Chapter 2988 Ten Thousand Times More Living s.p.a.ce!
“I believe that I don’t need to elaborate on how terrifying the Flood Tide Legion is.
Li Linghai said, “The Pangu Civilization at its peak gathered the essence of the entire civilization and sent out a magnificent, dominating expedition fleet. As it turned out, not long after they left the Pangu Universe, they ran into a Flood Tide Legion. Although they managed to defeat the enemy, they were killed so miserably that they feared the multiverse.
“We are not even sure whether or not the Flood Tide Legion has risen again in the thousands of years to come and played a crucial role in the civil war of the Pangu Civilization.
“All in all, whatever we call this relic, be it the Tomb of the Supreme Emperor, the Mausoleum of G.o.ds, or the Black Tomb, it is the most dangerous place in the entire Pangu Universe.
“For the past thousand years, this place has been sealed. Even Black Star Emperor Wu Yingqi failed to break the barrier set up by the Supreme Emperor and enter the most crucial tomb or treasury. “But Lu Qingchen has the data pieces and the permissions of the f.u.xis. He has five invincible supreme fortresses, and he is desperate and insane. n.o.body can predict his behavior. He is capable of anything.
“If we don’t stop him and he really breaks into the deepest part of the mausoleum, there will be three terrible possibilities.
“Firstly, Lu Qingchen successfully swallowed the other half of ‘f.u.xi’. His computational ability soared, and he controlled the super magical equipment and fleet left by the Supreme Emperor, the Pangu Civilization, and even the builders of the black wall. He broke out of seclusion in the most hideous way and launched the most terrifying revenge against the imperium, the federation, and the Sanctuary Alliance!
“However, the likelihood of him receiving the legacy is not very high. It is more likely that he screwed up and accidentally activated the system that had been sealed for a long time, waking up the Pangu Clan that had been hibernating for hundreds of thousands of years.
“Yes. It is well known that ‘Vulture Li Yao’, the best expert among us, once killed a resurrected member of the Pangu Clan in the Kunlun Mystic Realm. However, the Kunlun Mystic Realm was not an intact relic. The Pangu Clan was not the best of the best in the first place, and they had lost too much strength during their long hibernation. Their combat ability was greatly undermined.
“Who knows how many top experts of the Pangu Clan are in the Divine Tombs and what kinds of ultimate techniques and marvelous weapons they have? I believe that the Pangu Clan in the black tombs are definitely a hundred times more difficult to deal with than the Pangu Clan in the Kunlun Mysterious Land.
“If a hundred or even a thousand top experts of the Pangu Clan are resurrected and receive confidential intelligence about us from Lu Qingchen’s brain, how are we going to resist them?
“And this is not the worst possibility.
“In the worst case scenario, not only will Lu Qingchen wake up the Pangu Clan, he will also wake up the Flood Tide Legion that has been locked and studied in the depths of the Mausoleum of G.o.ds. Who knows what kind of terrifying and weird life form the Flood Tide Legion is exactly, and whether or not they are dead after hundreds of thousands of years of erosion? You must know that they don’t need to summon an army to attack us at all. As long as they send the coordinates and the status quo of the civilization of the Pangu Universe to the depths of the multiverse with the intelligence inside Lu Qingchen’s head, we will be doomed. We will be doomed!”
Li Linghai’s conclusion was quite appalling.
But none of the experts dared to blame her for ‘promoting other people’s morale and undermining their own’. Although they had never seen the Flood Tide and the Flood Tide Legion in person, they knew from the reverence that the Pangu civilization had for the makers of the black wall and the fear that the makers of the black wall had for the Flood Tide that it was far beyond the capability of the human civilization right now.
With the arrival of the flood, they had no choice except to hold their breath and hide themselves.
But right now, even ‘hide-and-seek’ had become an impossible option. With Lu Qingchen’s current situation and craziness, he wouldn’t care even if he knew that there were a lot of dangers in the depths of the Mausoleum of G.o.ds. He would certainly go all in and try his best.
“Now, do you understand why I called it the ‘catastrophe’ of the Pangu Universe?
Li Linghai was well aware of the mysteries of psychology. Seeing that the atmosphere of the hall was somewhat depressed, he seized the opportunity and said, “However, speaking of which, there are always turning points in a crisis. Originally, there were still many hesitations and disputes regarding whether or not to develop the Tomb of the Supreme Emperor on a large scale. All the concerns were very reasonable, and no one dared to act rashly.
“Now that Lu Qingchen has made the first step for us, we have no other options except to march forward bravely and win the battle! “Do you all know what our greatest gain will be if we can figure out the secrets of the Black Mausoleum—the tomb of the Supreme Emperor and grasp the switch that controls the Black Wall?
“No. Not just the secret treasures left by the Supreme Emperor, the Pangu Civilization, and the makers of the black wall. Although they are important, they are not going to be a breakthrough solution to the dilemma of the human civilization.
“The real reward is that we will be able to turn off or partly turn off the ‘black wall’ and get a s.p.a.ce that is hundreds of times more s.p.a.cious and abundant than right now!
“Don’t you see? The seemingly empty, endless black s.p.a.ce zones around the Pangu Universe are not really empty but full of abundant, vigorous galaxies that have been blocked by the makers of the black wall.
“I don’t know why the maker of the black wall did that. Maybe it was to conceal the existence of the Pangu Universe and prevent the flood tide from finding us. But it is more likely that it was the ‘legacy’ that the maker of the black wall left for a certain civilization billions of years later. Only those who cracked the ‘black wall masking technology’ were qualified to receive the gifts of the three million worlds in the universe!
Hearing that, all the experts were beaming with joy.
Yes. Right now, all the experts knew that the so-called ‘irreachable chasm’ around the Pangu Universe was not really a barren land but blocked by the ancient civilization in a marvelous way so that the intelligent creatures of the Pangu Universe would not find it.
It might be a test, a form of protection, or a punishment.
But whether it was testing, protecting, or punis.h.i.+ng, the civilization of mankind was not willing to curl up in the small ‘eggsh.e.l.l’ and ‘coc.o.o.n’ and pa.s.s the most brilliant years of their civilization peacefully!
No matter how dangerous the road ahead was, no matter how terrifying the flood was, no matter how unpredictable the multiverse and the high-dimensional s.p.a.ce was, the civilization of mankind had to sound the horn to charge and march toward the universe without any hesitation. They were like moths that were attracted to fire, seeking the meaning of life and death!
“I am not a merciful man who is willing to share. It can even be said that I am very selfish. For the future of the Imperium of True Human Beings, I don’t care who I sacrifice.
Li Linghai looked around, his eyes sweeping over the experts of the Star Glory Federation and the Sanctuary Alliance as well as the Immortal Cultivators under his command. He said solemnly, “To be honest, if it is beneficial for the imperium, I don’t mind declaring war on the Federation and the Sanctuary Alliance again.
“However, it is a pity that, even though the Star Ocean Imperium can destroy the Star Glory Federation and the Star Glory Federation, it cannot resolve the chronic disease that has tied the veins and nerves of the imperium together. The contradiction between the rapid development of a civilization and the lack of resources is irreconcilable.
“Both the Star Glory Federation and the Star Glory Federation are at the edge of the known universe of Pangu. Your resources are not abundant, either. You are also caught in a dilemma where you are about to run out of resources. Even if the imperium pays a high price to conquer your remote and barren planets, so what? How many resources can they squeeze out of you? Perhaps, even the cost of war cannot make up for it. “By the same logic, I know what you Cultivators are up to. You want to subtly change the social form and the high-level architecture of the imperium so that you can maximize the efficiency of the utilization of resources. But you can’t make bricks without straw. Even if your approach works out and the efficiency of the utilization of resources changes from ‘80%’ to ‘100%’, the resources will run out one day anyway. “With fewer and fewer resources, the imperium, the federation, and even the Sanctuary Alliance will slowly collapse. n.o.body will be able to reverse the doom of destiny. Although we can help each other today and cross our differences with the greatest understanding and kindness, I don’t believe that the Cultivators, the Immortal Cultivators, and the members of the Sanctuary Alliance will not fight each other for nothing when the total resources of the Pangu Universe falls to one tenth of what they are today. “Let me repeat myself. I’m not scared to fight anybody face to face. The problem is, even if we annihilate all the Cultivators and the members of the Sanctuary, it will only delay our doom by one or two seconds. What’s the point of that?
She was not merely talking to the federation and the members of the Sanctuary Alliance about why she was suddenly so ‘gentle’ and ‘generous’ and willing to share the top secrets.
He also warned the untamable and restless Immortal Cultivators under his command that they were all fish swimming in a pot. The most important thing right now was to break the boiling pot and swim to the boundless ocean instead of swallowing other fish.
“If you don’t want to start a new war because of the lack of resources in several decades, or even two hundred years at most, then you’d better summon all your courage and explore the ‘Ancient Tomb of the Supreme Emperorthe Divine Tomb—the Black Tomb’!”
Li Linghai raised his voice and shouted, “After you receive the legacy of the ‘Black Wall Maker’, you will control the switch of the Black Wall and tear apart the black mist that has been floating for billions of years from the inside to the outside. The countless worlds that have been sealed for a long time will surface in the sea of stars one by one. The living s.p.a.ce of the civilization of mankind will be expanded by ten times, a hundred times, a thousand times, or even ten thousand times. Cultivators, Immortal Cultivators, and all the intelligent creatures born in the Pangu Universe will unite against the outside world and realize the true leap of our great civilization!
