Forty Millenniums of Cultivation Chapter 3109

Chapter 3114 - Real and Fake Testing?

Li Yao was faced with the toughest challenge.

If the reenactment of the Primeval Civilization’s conquest of the Universe Ocean was a game of ‘no matter what you do, you will never fail. When you meet an enemy, you only need to gather ten times the number of soldiers to crush them’. The battle against the tide right now was tantamount to the difficulty of the game being upgraded to ‘hell’.

Even if he maximized his poor operation and commanding ability, squeezed out every resource under his control, and inspired the courage of every Primeval Lord of Heaven, even if he finally united more than ten wary sub-universes with his glib tongue, even if he made every choice right and made the Primeval Lord of Heaven evolve again under the pressure of the flood, even if the legendary technology and training system broke out in only a few hundred years, it would still not change the final outcome.

A typical battle between the Primeval Civilization and the flood tide often began when countless bizarre, nightmarish monsters suddenly appeared in the periphery of the galaxy controlled by the Primeval Civilization.

The nightmare beasts were based on the enormous bodies of the alien species in the past and based on the cutting-edge technology of the Primeval Civilization. They were a perfect combination of flesh and metal and could wield even more terrifying power than a starship.

They were often followed by the servants of countless low-level civilizations. With the help of flood modification and traitors, the low-level civilizations boasted strong reproductive ability and a social system in the industrial era. They were highly organized and well-disciplined.

Even if the warriors of the Primeval Civilization rose up and paid a heavy price in order to defeat the enemy, it would be to no avail, because they would soon be infected or brainwashed and lose their self-awareness. They would be connected to the network of the Flood Tide and turn into a tiny cell of the Flood Tide Legion!

Just like that, one planet after another fell into the abyss, and one galaxy after another was drowned by the tides. From the sub-universe to the lower-level universe, the splendid brilliance of the Primeval Civilization was eclipsed by the flood.

The tide was like an expanding sponge that was about to occupy and swallow the entire sea of the universe!

Li Yao was both mentally and physically exhausted.

All the choices were wrong.

All hope was lost.

There was no force that could stop the flood. Those who were unwilling to be ‘flood cells’ in the sub-universe did not even have the time to run away. They could only watch an outcome that was even more unacceptable than destruction befall them.

In the end, almost all the options were shattered.

For the third time, a ‘only option’ popped up in front of Li Yao’s eyes.

It was the Sun Defense Line Plan.

After the flood swept almost half of the sea of stars, the members of the Primeval Clan scattered in the various sub-units finally woke up and joined hands again. Just like the earthlings who were faced with the meteoroid disaster in the past, they put aside their hatred and worked together for the common purpose of survival.

Perhaps only when mankind and the Primeval Beings were faced with an irresistible threat could they truly unite and trigger the wisdom and courage in the deepest part of human nature. It was like a curse or a cruel joke.

After studying the features of the flood tide in depth and deducing countless battle plans, the Primeval Clan, which had been united again, proposed the ‘Sun Defense Line’ plan.

Stars, scorching light balls, the origin of life, the most furious energy in the universe, and the most powerful weapons!

With the scourge of the tide as the boundary, thousands of stars nearby would be detonated in one breath, and thousands of destructive torrents would crash into the tide!

Even such an impact was not enough to deal fatal damage to the flood. But if all the stars nearby were destroyed, a large area of ‘no man’s land’ where spiritual gas was extremely thin, resources were scarce, and there was not even the tiniest bit of brightness would be created!

Although they did not know what the Flood Tide was made of, the Flood Tide Legion was an out-and-out intelligent, carbon-based life form. Even if they turned into one of the cells of the Flood Tide, they would still need to absorb a lot of energy and a complete and complicated ecological system in order to survive. Without a star, it would be impossible to establish a large-scale ecological system. The man-made ecological system on a few starships was simply not enough to satisfy such a large-scale Flood Tide Legion. In the end, a large batch of Flood Tide Legion would starve to death.

Of course, with the help of the traitors, the Flood Tide Legion had grasped the advanced technology of space jumps, too. But the technology of space jumps was based on the stability of the three-dimensional universe and the precise coordinates. The energy waves resulting from the destruction of thousands of stars were enough to shake the entire sea of stars. Accurate and safe space jumps would not be performed for a long time. At the very least, large-scale, organized space jumps would be suicidal!

In other words, the so-called ‘solar defense line’ was a replica of the ‘scorched earth strategy’ and the ‘iron wall defense line’ in the war on Earth. On one hand, they were trying to empty all the resources in the range of the enemy’s attack, and on the other hand, they were building an impregnable defense line that would block the enemy and trap them inside!

“Detonate thousands of stars and form a defense line of destruction, darkness, and defense!

Li Yao was deeply shocked by the marvelous technology and craziness of the Primeval Civilization.

Although he also believed that intelligent life could only be called a ‘civilization’ if it made unerasable changes to the universe, such changes were still too unbelievable and shocking.

Was this the most furious roar of a god-level civilization at the moment of life and death?

“Yes. This is my last and only suggestion for you.

The voice said, “Although the odds of success are not very high, it is the only effective way for us to strike the flood. Even if we cannot destroy the flood, we can at least stall it for a while. If we stall it for billions of years, we will find new hope in the billions of years to come.

Li Yao was silent. He studied the option carefully.

Before he read the detailed explanation of the ‘Sun Defense Line Plan’, he had already found the third ‘right answer’ repulsive and repulsive because he had no other options.

When he browsed through the files of the thousands of stars that were about to be destroyed, including the planets that were affiliated to them, Li Yao was greatly shocked.

“I’ve noticed that the thousands of stars that you want to destroy are all located in the sub-units in the center of the sea of stars where the spiritual gas is extremely dense. In other words, they are all ‘paradise’ that are full of vitality and colors, right?

Li Yao asked.

“Yes. Those places are the main targets of the flood. Only by destroying them in advance can the flood be stopped.

The voice replied.

“Alright. Let’s not talk about whether or not destroying almost half of the natural paradises in the center of the universe is more evil than the scourge of tides. Let’s just talk about all the primitive demons living in the sub-universes.

Li Yao said, “Judging from the time of the arrival of the flood, it must’ve been tens of thousands of years, if not hundreds of thousands of years, since a lot of the Primeval Lord Clan migrated to the sub-universes and evolved into different civilizations. They thrived in the sub-universes and built the sub-universes as their new home. They spread to almost every corner of the universe.

“Although the ancestors of the Primeval Beings were cold-blooded butchers, it is very likely that they were civilians who did not even have the strength to truss a chicken. It is also possible that they were kind-looking old people, children who learned to talk, and men and women who lived a peaceful and happy life. Their entire life, including the civilization consolidated by billions of lives, was based on the illumination of the stars.

“My question is, what are you going to do with your ‘compatriots’ after you destroy thousands of suns?

“Should we send them all to other places on the starship?

“Let’s not talk about whether or not they are willing to leave their new home, which has been built for tens of thousands of years. Let’s just talk about the number of them, which is far beyond ‘billion’, shall we? Do you have such a powerful transportation ability that can transport everyone and support the daily consumption or hibernation of so many people? I doubt it.

“It must be noted that the center of the Universe Ocean has been occupied by the flood tide. You can only run to the edge of the Universe Ocean, a remote village that lacks spiritual energy. You don’t even know where your destination is. It is impossible for you to bring so many civilians with you, right?

“In the end, what happened to most of the civilians?

The voice fell silent again.

“You are right. The defense line of the sun will detonate a lot of natural paradises and destroy the new homes that countless people have been working on for tens of thousands of years. Besides… we don’t have enough transportation and resources to bring all our compatriots away.

The voice said, “That’s why I said that this is another ‘no other choice’. The flood tide is drawing close. If we don’t make a quick decision, a lot of our compatriots will fall into the hands of the flood tide. They will lose their most precious free will and become mindless walking dead, turning from the noble king of the universe into a tiny ‘cell’. Don’t you think that their dignity and pride will be preserved more if they die a painless death instantly?

The answer froze Li Yao’s soul instantly, turning him into a lifeless ocean of ice.

But a moment later, cracks appeared on the icy ocean, through which unconcealed laughter was echoing.

“Haha. Hahahaha!”

Li Yao laughed miserably, angrily, and ironically.

“What are you laughing at?”

The voice asked.

“I laughed at myself for being too silly. At first, I really thought that it was a test. I was wrong from the beginning, and I kept making mistakes and falling deeper and deeper. It was not until this moment that I realized what was going on.

Li Yao’s laughter came to an abrupt end. His soul waves were as sharp as blades as he said, “In fact, this is not a test at all, but ‘possession’ or ‘corrosion’ on a certain level, isn’t it?”

“Even if this universe is truly nothing more than a brutal bloody shadowy forest, we Cultivators will burn all that we have just to give off a single weak flickering spark in the darkness! No matter how weak each spark is, how short-lived, how small… As long as the sparks flow unabated, then one day one of those sparks will light some tinder, and that tinder shall light some fallen branches, and those branches shall set ablaze each and every last tree of the forest! In the end, even the smallest sparks will eventually set the shadowy forest ablaze, and illuminate the whole world!” In a world teeming with cultivators, Li Yao, who makes his living collecting scrap metal, encounters the soul of a titan powerhouse from forty thousand years in the past.
