Chapter 3044 - Destruction and Restart

Chapter 3044 Destruction and Restart

“Hundreds of civilizations have been gathered here?”

Li Yao was greatly alarmed. He felt that his head was humming. The ancient relics were hundreds of times more mysterious and complicated than before.

“Is it very strange?”

Lu Qingchen did not think too much of it. “Any civilization that has developed to the point that they can control the entire Pangu Universe will most likely discover the ancient relic, won’t they? And once they pry into the mysteries of the ‘Black Wall Manufacturing’, of course, they will gather the best experts, scholars, warriors, and explorers of the entire civilization, as well as the most cutting-edge weapons, tools, magical equipment, and crystal processors, and try to crack it!

“Although the mysteries of the ‘Black Wall Manufacturing’ are hard to crack, the technology level and thinking style of the civilizations over the past billions of years will not be much different from those of the Pangu Civilization and the human civilization. After all, we are all intelligent creatures born in the Pangu Universe. No matter how weird our biological structure and social form are, there will be a limit. Chances are that we are related to each other.

“Therefore, it is reasonable that the Pangu civilization cracked a lot of cutting-edge technologies and weapons left by the previous civilizations before they cracked the mysteries of the ‘black wall makers’, including the ‘cavalry of stars’. “Such things are everywhere in the City of Silver. I can’t say for sure whether the guardians were desperate enough to release the iron beasts for experiments, or they escaped when the control center was damaged.

Li Yao scanned it carefully and found that the big guy that Lu Qingchen called ‘Star Space Knight’ was indeed vastly different from the common styles of the Pangu Civilization based on the style and the runes carved on the surface.

When its shell was corroded by acids, dense gears, bearings, and lever structures were revealed. The nerves, muscles, and bones that were as complicated as those of living creatures were beyond his imagination, too.

It was not hard to tell that the ‘Star Knights’ were quite crude when it came to the technology of converting crystals into spiritual energy. The waste of spiritual energy was quite serious. Therefore, colorful, dominating sound, light, and electricity were swirling around their mountainous bodies, making them look like colorful steam.

However, in the field of metal smelting and mechanical transmission, they were far better than the Pangu civilization and the human civilization. They could even refine metal as soft and tensile as muscle fibers.

The Pangu civilization was similar to the civilization of human beings. Although all kinds of destructive magical equipment had been invented, in fact, individual training was still the most important. The absorption, transformation, and release of spiritual energy of the cells was emphasized. The tools were merely ancillary. Magical equipment was meant to help the body of flesh and blood increase their strength.

The creator of the ‘Metal Knights of Starry Skies’ had apparently taken the path of a ‘mechanical civilization’. What a marvelous view it was!

There was no way that the Pangu Civilization could create such a thing.

Therefore, Lu Qingchen was not lying. He was just…

“Why didn’t you say so earlier?” Watching the ‘Star Knights’ charging over his head, Li Yao wondered whether or not they would sit down and crush him into a meat pie. “How many things are you hiding from me?” “In such a critical situation, of course, we have to seize every second to get down to business. You didn’t ask. How could you have the time to talk about such trivial matters?”

Lu Qingchen said innocently, “Do I have to make a pot of tea and explain everything to you when the ferocious beasts are coming at us from all directions?”.

“Besides, I don’t know the details of the civilizations that perished a long time ago. I only inferred from the few words in the database that their doom was probably related to the primordial relics and the makers of the black wall.

“What do you think?”

Li Yao’s eyes bulged. “What evidence do you have?”

“There’s no proof. But don’t you find it odd? Billions of years have passed since the Pangu Universe was enveloped by the ‘Black Wall Manufacturing’ to this day. Almost a hundred generations of powerful civilizations have been born inside the Black Wall. At the very least, they are powerful enough to cruise in the sea of stars and discover the entrance to the primeval relics.

Lu Qingchen continued, “But the ancient civilizations were all wiped out. Completely wiped out. Not even the tiniest residue was left. The Pangu civilization of the previous generation, too, started from scratch and developed from bacteria, marine creatures, amphibians, reptiles…

“At the very least, according to the classics of the Pangu civilization that we collected, they did not know much about their ‘father civilization’. They were not born in laboratories like us but evolved naturally. Therefore, they did not have a clear concept of ‘father civilization’. They only vaguely knew that their birth was related to the maker of the black wall billions of years ago. The ‘blood relation’ was too thin.

“But it doesn’t make sense.

“Over billions of years, of the hundreds of civilizations that had the ability to sail in the sea of stars, did none of them have the ability to pass on their knowledge, none of them tried to keep their tinder, and none of them prospered for more than ten million years? “Why did they perish? Even if they perished, they should have left something behind, right? How did they… turn into ash, into powder, leaving nothing behind?”

“It doesn’t seem to be a natural extinction. It seems to be a man-made restart. It is possible that everything about the civilization was wiped out in the blink of an eye.

“What about the Pangu civilization? As you can see, their exploration of the primeval relics did not reach the end. They stopped the exploration in time and consolidated the entire relic. Therefore, the ‘destruction and restart’ of the Pangu civilization was not complete. Although the Pangu Clan and the Nuwa Clan outside were wiped out, a few fish that escaped the net were still alive.

“However, with the awakening of the primeval relics, it seems that the few fish that escaped the net will not be able to live long. The Pangu civilization will not be able to escape the fate of hundreds of ancient civilizations. It will be wiped out and restarted!”

Lu Qingchen’s words reminded Li Yao of Long Yangjun’s message.

“It is alive. It has woken up!”

At first, Li Yao thought that Long Yangjun was referring to the Pangu Clan.

But right now, the truth seemed to be a hundred times more dreadful.

“You seem to be implying something.”

Li Yao mumbled, “What are you trying to say?”

“Nothing. I’m just curious.”

Lu Qingchen smiled and said, “Assuming that there is something similar to… ‘self-awareness’ in the primeval relics, is the Pangu civilization and the civilization of mankind the same civilization according to its criteria? If it is going to ‘reboot’ the entire Pangu Universe for a certain reason, is the civilization of mankind in its range?”

Li Yao pondered the question for a long time.

Then, he shivered coldly.

BOOM!

Above their heads, a thick, short cannon protruded out of the chest of the ‘Metal of Stars’ and blew off half of the Armored Storm Dragon’s head, as if thousands of marrow crystals had been shot out. Then, the iron arms of the ‘Metal of Stars’ stabbed into the wounds at the same time. Finally, the hill-like beast lost all its physiological functions and collapsed.

However, before its death, it had compressed the nine hearts inside its body and shot a lot of highly corrosive body liquids at the ‘Star Knights’, eroding the shell of the ‘Star Knights’ together with their delicate mechanical organs.

The ‘Star Knights’ shrieked. Intense fireballs were popping up inside their bodies as they struggled in the high temperature.

The ‘Arsonists’ were jumping up and down between the rain of acids and the fireballs of the ‘Star Knights’. “Damn it. I knew that every mission wouldn’t be as simple as this. The operation this time is already extremely dangerous, and now you want to upgrade it?”.

Li Yao screamed at Lu Qingchen, “Don’t tell me that the furious beasts in front of us are not the biggest enemy that we need to deal with. The ‘Black Wall Maker’ left something in the depths of the primeval relics that can restart the Pangu Universe time and time again?”

“I don’t know. Maybe so?”

Lu Qingchen said, “Therefore, when exploring such ancient relics billions of years ago, you must be very careful. You cannot make the mistake that is as small as a sesame seed. I was close to success, but your wife —”.

“Shut up!”

Li Yao’s face was twisted. “If you hadn’t barged into this place without caring about anything, we wouldn’t have formed a hunting and exploration squad in such a hurry. Maybe the civilization of mankind should’ve developed for thousands of years before the primeval relics were opened!

“Hehe. Are you telling a fairy tale? Even if I didn’t enter this place, the Immortal Cultivators of the Star Ocean Imperium would’ve formed a secret squad and explored the place in secret. Then, when the Cultivators of the federation and the information lifeforms of the Sanctuary received the news, they would’ve followed closely behind. There would’ve been a lot of scheming and betrayal. In other words, I was helping the Star Ocean Imperium, the Star Ocean Imperium, and the Sanctuary unite as one!

Lu Qingchen continued, “Moreover, if I hadn’t stopped the Fuxi in time, the federation and the imperium would’ve become the subordinates of the Sanctuary Alliance and the puppets of the Fuxi. I would’ve ended up like this because I was corrupted in the battle against the Fuxi. Technically speaking, I was a victim and a victim.

“All in all, it’s useless to dig up the past now. Let’s focus on how to reach the control center and regain control over everything. I’ve said so much because I want to tell you that there is no way out for us. We don’t have a choice! The only way out is to march forward to the center and solve the mysteries of the primeval era! If so, not only will everybody be able to run away, the civilization of mankind will also be able to receive the knowledge of hundreds of generations of ancient civilizations and unlock all the shackles sealing us. We will become the real ‘Pangu Clan’!”
