Chapter 3062 Ancient Bloodline Unlocked!
The gravekeeper was silent for a long time. It seemed that the Supreme Emperor did not have much hope that somebody would come to this place, hear his last words, and pass the ‘ultimate test’ of the black wall maker.
“What I proposed seemed to be too much. How could the civilization of mankind discover an answer that even a hundred ancient civilizations, including the Pangu civilization, failed to find? Maybe—maybe we shouldn’t have run such tests at all. We should’ve stayed away from the primeval relics and forgotten everything. We should’ve forgotten the vastness of the multiverse, the threat of the flood, and the glory that we once enjoyed as the makers of the black wall. We should’ve lived a carefree, muddled life until we were corrupted by time and eventually perished.
The gravekeeper’s voice was almost moaning. “Or maybe, we need a miracle, one that is similar to the life of the inorganic creatures in the beginning when they turned into organic creatures in the thunderstorm. Only such a miracle can make our civilization leap forward and continue evolving in a brighter direction.
“Speaking of which, life itself is a miracle. Intelligent creatures are the amalgamations of billions of miracles. Miracles happen. Miracles… have happened, haven’t they?
With the last question that was both melancholy and hopeful, the Supreme Emperor’s white-haired, dying image was finally shattered into billions of bright gold streaks that flooded into Li Yao’s brain like an overwhelming meteor shower.
In the blink of an eye, Li Yao’s eyes were filled with illusions and his ears were filled with drumming. Every nerve ending had absorbed an astronomical amount of information in the blink of an eye. Scenes that were billions of times more vivid and detailed than the 3D hologram flashed in his soul one by one.
He didn’t just feel like he was there; he felt as if he had turned into an emperor on the verge of death. The twists and turns and the soul-stirring life swept back at lightning speed. The first thing Li Yao saw was the white-haired Supreme Emperor competing with his mental devil in the depths of the ancient relics. His silver hair suddenly turned into the color of blood, which was as hot as fire, and then it turned into brilliant gold. His face was sometimes hideous, sometimes determined, sometimes high-pitched, sometimes crazy. He was controlling two super Giant God Soldiers, the ‘Gold Sun’ and the ‘Armageddon’, by himself. It was not until the two Giant God Soldiers were riddled with holes and broken that the brightness inside his body finally suppressed the darkness. The saber that the ‘Gold Sun’ waved pierced through the ‘Armageddon’!
Then, the picture blinked and returned to the earthshaking final battle in the Empyrean Terminus Sector and below the planet near the Gold Crystal Tower.
It was still a duel between the ‘Gold Sun’ and the ‘Armageddon’, but this time, the ‘Armageddon’ was controlled by the real Mad Armageddon, Blood God, and the Supreme Emperor was in the peak of spiritual energy and soul power. The power of the two Giant God Soldiers was more than ten times higher!
It was a final battle that was more brilliant than any battle that Li Yao had ever participated in. Ten thousand new suns were rising from the underground world, triggering countless fault lines and magma belts. The entire planet was awed by the majesty of the Supreme Emperor and the craziness of the Blood God. The sky collapsed, the earth trembled, and all the living creatures were killed. One of the planets was almost blown up.
The picture blinked again. This time, it was the time when the Supreme Emperor ascended the throne and built the most brilliant moment in the history of human civilization.
Standing in front of the magnificent fortress, the Supreme Emperor was wearing a splendid crystal suit, which brought out his divinity and made him look like a god. He was truly a man who dared not disobey the commands of the stars. The tens of thousands of warships that tore open the atmosphere and marched in together with the burning clouds fired brilliant salutes, symbolizing the future of the Star Ocean Imperium and the civilization of mankind. It was the most glorious moment of the Star Ocean Imperium. Nobody, from the Supreme Emperor to the civilians, had foreseen that today’s glory would turn into an endless catastrophe after only a few decades. The civilization of mankind would have to explore the swamp of chaos for ten thousand years in order to welcome new peace and hope.
However, the hidden danger had already been buried. The picture flashed again. Countless leaders of the rebels were killed miserably by the Supreme Emperor’s butcher’s knife. The roars and screams of the Supreme Emperor’s former comrades and even his childhood companions turned into black venomous thorns and became the pain and regret that could never be removed from the depths of the Supreme Emperor’s soul.
As the picture continued to flash, the Supreme Emperor’s memories moved forward.
At first, he organized the rebels to fight against the rulers of the demon race. Then, he polished the souls of the nightmare beasts and the war machines in the arenas and awakened the ancient bloodlines. Finally, although he was miserable in the slave mines, he had a happy childhood, too. He remembered. The Supreme Emperor remembered everything before his death. His thoughts travelled through wormholes, returned to the primeval relics, returned to the frozen battlefield, and even returned to when he was in the ’embryo form’ before the battlefield was frozen.
Then
The Supreme Emperor’s embryo was like a gate, or rather, a black hole that contained endless mysteries. When the Pangu researchers bombarded the black hole with all kinds of intense stimuli, Li Yao’s consciousness crawled in along the helical brilliance and saw the secrets buried in the deepest part of the Supreme Emperor’s gene strands. He could clearly see that the ancient human beings had deep eyes, golden stripes on their skin, and unpredictable patterns.
He saw how the ancient human beings appeared in the Pangu Universe on the illusionary, translucent warships that seemed to be able to melt into the three-dimensional space and jump into the four-dimensional space. He saw how the ancient human beings crushed their own bodies and turned every cell into a glittering seed that contained billions of genes, spreading them to every habitable planet and resource planet in the Pangu Universe, and even to the vacuum asteroid belt where no life could be generated theoretically.
He saw how the last few ancient human beings stood on the top of the tower and looked up at the sky with complicated expressions after most of the ancient human beings had been crushed. Then, the brilliant stars in the sky were extinguished one after another!
The starry sky above their heads was like a glittering ocean. Wherever they looked, they could see burning stars connecting together, illuminating the earth as if it were daylight.
However, the billions of stars went out one after another, as if an invisible beast of darkness had swallowed the universe. The few remaining stars struggled and emitted lackluster brightness.
The black wall rose up.
The ancient human beings had sealed themselves in the tiny Pangu Universe.
“Ah!”
The scene made Li Yao feel endless sorrow and fury. As if he had been sealed in a small iron room, he felt suffocated and could not help but scream in the most intense voice.
He wanted to struggle. He wanted to resist. He wanted to interrogate. He wanted to roar. He wanted to release the power in the deepest part of the gene strands and break the damn black wall and all the seals!
Countless gold streaks were spurting, rolling, and surging inside his brain.
At first, he thought that it was the legacy of the Supreme Emperor.
But very soon, he discovered that it was not just the Supreme Emperor’s legacy but also the power released from the depths of his gene strands.
Whether it was the Supreme Emperor or every ordinary human being living in the Pangu Universe today, they were all the same. They were the heirs of the creator of the black wall, an ancient human being billions of years ago.
However, the primordial bloodlines that had been unlocked for each other varied. The Supreme Emperor might have unlocked 10% to 30% of his strength, while the Supreme Emperor had only unlocked a few thousandth of his strength. Li Yao, who had cultivated to the Soul Division Stage, might have already unlocked 10% of the primordial bloodline, but he also had an advantage that even the Supreme Emperor did not possess. His soul came from Earth, which was a place closer to the core of the Flood Tide and the secrets of the primordial era.
Therefore, after receiving the guidance of the Supreme Emperor, Li Yao’s gene strands were unlocked crazily, too. All kinds of information streams that had been stored for billions of years flooded out and were about to destroy his cells, nerves, veins, bones, internal organs, and entire brain before they were reconstructed!
“AHHHHHHHHH!”
Li Yao roared desperately and furiously. Complicated golden stripes that looked like dancing dragons and dancing phoenixes appeared on his skin briefly. Even his eyes were wide open. Streams of stripes that looked like waterfalls appeared on his retina, only to vanish into his soul a moment later. Li Yao had no idea how long he had been wandering, lurking, and training in the deepest part of the Supreme Emperor’s heritage and his own gene bank. It was as if he had experienced a long life-not the life of a certain person, but the long life of a glorious ancient civilization.
When he woke up slowly, he discovered that he was enveloped in a warm and soft force, as if he was being nurtured in the strongest cocoon. It was Little Black. He had been enveloped by Little Black again.
“Thank you, Little Black. I didn’t know that you were such a big shot.” Li Yao smiled and said in a low voice.
Little Black spread out gentle ripples and spat Li Yao out.
Taking a deep breath, Li Yao extended his right hand and observed his body.
At first glance, his body was no different from a moment ago. He did not look like he was made of bronze or iron.
However, with a telepathic thought, vague gold stripes would appear on his skin, as if they were a living pen and ink. They would be combined into complicated runes automatically and even seep into his muscles and bones through his skin. The efficiency and intensity of the techniques were ten times higher than the spells and gestures in the past.
When he thought of the legacy of the Supreme Emperor, a lot of information that only the Supreme Emperor knew would appear in his brain.
