Forty Millenniums of Cultivation Chapter 3113

Chapter 3118 - The Real Answer

“What’s wrong?”

The female captain’s expression was somewhat complicated. Even the bright gold ghosts behind her were getting anxious. All the ghosts of the Primeval Lord of Heaven were staring at Li Yao, as if they could not wait to see him take the key that contained billions of techniques and endless technology.

Li Yao immediately sensed that something was wrong.

This made the alarms in the depths of his sea of consciousness even louder.

Calm down. I must calm down!

“It’s not that simple,” Li Yao warned himself. “It can’t be that simple. The sighs about the past of Earth, the hatred for the Primeval Civilization, the appreciation for the human civilization that was reborn in the Pangu Universe, the love for my family and my home, and the boiling blood… All of them will interfere with my judgement. I have to calm down, freeze all the irrelevant thoughts, and find the most crucial answer!

His eyes suddenly turned sharp. He stared at the female captain for a long time, as if he were going to poke two holes in her body.

“You seem to want me to take over the key and inherit the legacy of the Primeval Civilization?”

Li Yao suddenly asked.

“Of course.”

The female captain was still smiling, but there was a hint of reluctance in her smile. “We’ve waited for billions of years and wiped out the testers of hundreds of generations of civilizations. If nobody gets the legacy, the flood will come at any time, and it will be too late.

“Therefore, there is no need to doubt it. Of course, I hope that you can get the legacy of the primeval era, and I sincerely hope that you can bring the legacy to greater heights.

“Is that so?”

Li Yao found it more and more odd. He sniffed and said, “Then, are there not other suitable candidates besides me? What happened to Lu Qingchen and the mental devil? Were they obliterated?”

The female captain was silent for a moment. She shook her head and said, “Not yet. They are still being tested and lost in the bloody mud.”

“That’s unreasonable.”

Li Yao was calmer and calmer. Looking at the golden key that was right in front of him, he felt that he was not looking at the legacy of a god-level civilization but a viper that was burning and full of thorns. “If the correct answer to pass the ultimate test is not to make the same choice as you, then Lu Qingchen and the mental devil should’ve failed and been killed by you a long time ago. Didn’t you say just now that the two of them had surpassed me in progress? There’s no reason that they haven’t entered the life-and-death decision of the ‘Sun Defense Line Plan’.

“Since they haven’t been wiped out yet, it means that they might pass the test even if they make the darkest choice three times. Maybe, the so-called key to the ultimate test is not here at all. It is not ‘justice’ or ‘evil’, or ‘darkness and brightness’.

“My head is a mess. I need to think, think hard…”

“What are you hesitating for?”

The female captain hurried to say, “The flood is coming. You will only have a slim chance of survival if you receive the legacy of the Primeval Civilization!”

“What’s the hurry?”

Li Yao was more and more certain that his intuition was correct. “Even if the flood is really coming, I don’t mind thinking for another three to five minutes, do I? Something is wrong. Something is definitely wrong!”

“What is it?”

The female captain’s smile was about to collapse. All the ghosts around her were about to turn into death rays and cling to Li Yao.

“Don’t get me wrong. It’s not your problem, but mine.”

Speaking up to this point, Li Yao simply withdrew his hand. In the mental world, he held his chin with his two hands and squatted down. He muttered, “My problem is that perhaps the heavens are jealous of my talent and have cast a curse on me, right? Every time I appear in a mission, the difficulty of the mission will suddenly increase by ten times. Every time I appear in a duel, the great devil will grasp at least three to five transformations. And every time the mission ends, it is inevitable that there will be twists and turns, causing great waves… To be honest, I am already used to this kind of miserable adventure.

“Right now, I’ve passed the test that the elites and experts of hundreds of civilizations failed to pass for billions of years with nothing but my passion, and I’ve received such… an unbelievable super luxury package? It’s too wonderful. So wonderful that it does not seem real but a dream.

“What are you talking about?”

The female captain cracked a smile. “You are overthinking.”

“No. I didn’t think too much about it. Although I like to let my imagination run wild and brag about myself most of the time, I am actually very clear-headed and self-aware when my computational ability is maximized.

Li Yao pointed at his head and said, “In fact, I have an extremely clear and calm understanding of myself. I know exactly what kind of person I am. I’m actually not as tall, majestic, righteous, far-sighted, and broad-minded as other people imagine me to be. I’m really, really just a handsome and confident ordinary person.

“When it comes to the commanding ability of a fleet, I’m nothing special. At the very least, there are hundreds of people around me who can hang me and beat me. When it comes to the operation and management ability of a civilization, I’m even more mediocre. I might not be able to manage a planet even if I was given one. As for the development of technology, the reformation of social structures, the settlement of interests in various aspects, and even the blueprint of a civilization ten thousand years later… I don’t have any of those abilities.

“Other than my appearance, the only thing I possess is nothing more than hot-bloodedness. But the so-called hot-bloodedness is something that can be casually triggered by a few high school students in their prime who are not satisfied with their desires. Don’t you think it’s too simple, too child’s play, and too absurd to rely on hot-bloodedness to pass the ‘Ultimate Test’?”

The female captain looked at Li Yao’s face and thought hard. In the end, she shook her head and hesitated.

“Thankfully, before the final test, I received a lot of files about the ancient civilization from the Supreme Emperor and the Observer.

Li Yao’s train of thought became clearer and clearer, and his speech became faster and faster. “There were a hundred ancient civilizations that followed a variety of evolutionary directions and moral principles. There were bloody, brutal, and selfish dark civilizations, but there were also benevolent civilizations that were kind-hearted and full of brightness. There were humble and cowardly civilizations, but there were also hot-blooded and fearless warrior civilizations. There were even ‘super-brained civilizations’ that were full of schemes and schemes.

“The most extreme civilization of kindness destroyed most of their weapons after they developed. They did not even have the heart to trample on flowers and grass.

“Every individual of the most hot-blooded warrior civilization has been pursuing the most glamorous and glorious way to die their entire life. Their only desire is to find a stronger enemy and engage in a great battle with him, dying in the most brilliant fireworks.

“The computational ability and deduction ability of the ‘super-brain civilization’ are dozens of times higher than ours and the Pangu civilization’.

“By logic, the most extreme civilization of kindness would never have been tempted by you and chosen the dark and evil path three times in a row.

“As far as the warrior civilization is concerned, the so-called ‘Sun Defense Line Plan’ is simply not something that they can sully their beliefs with. They will definitely fight the tides to the death.

“Also, with the computational, analytical, and deduction ability of the ‘super-brain civilization’, there’s no reason why they can’t see through such a simple scam. The so-called ‘the only correct answer is that there’s no right answer at all’ is more like a cliché. It’s more like a scam to fool the middle school students who are still wet behind the ears. It’s impossible to fool the elites, wise men, and madmen of a hundred generations of civilizations!

“Therefore, I make a bold assumption that you lied just now. I’m not the only one who has made it this far in the past billions of years. Thousands of testers have walked to this place and stood in front of the… golden key. At the very least, the extremely friendly civilization, the fearless warrior civilization, and the super-brain civilization that has made thorough plans. Their testers should have stood where I am right now and extended their hands to the golden key.

“It was a pity that they failed. They perished and were obliterated.

“Because… this is not the destination. We are still being tested, aren’t we?

The female captain was silent for a long time.

Then, he applauded Li Yao together with the other bright gold ghosts.

“Don’t underestimate yourself. You are indeed very smart. You are the first person in billions of years to notice that the test is still ongoing.

The female captain smiled. “However, I can’t tell you the real purpose of the ultimate test yet. You have to find the right answer yourself and figure out the significance of the test in order to learn everything about the Primeval Civilization.

She held the glittering gold key that contained thousands of technologies and techniques in her hands and offered it to Li Yao.

Li Yao stared at the gold key for a long time.

The key seemed to be able to open countless invisible labyrinths.

Every maze hid destructive forces, unbelievable technology, and unparalleled power that could make a person the king of the universe.

Of course, if he was selfless enough, the key could also unlock the seal of the civilization of mankind and allow the civilization of mankind to leap from the path of evolution of hundreds of thousands of years to a god-level civilization, or at least a ‘quasi-god-level civilization’.

It seemed to be a tempting legacy that nobody could resist.

Li Yao stared at the gold key for a long, long time.

His eyes were filled with the desire for strength, the hope for the evolution of civilization, and the excitement for the final battle.

Several times, his fingers and his telepathic thoughts were restless again. He was about to take the gold key and clutch it.

But in the end, the obsession and craziness on his face and in his eyes were gone. His eyes were as clear and pure as before.

Li Yao took a long breath in relief. His lips curled into the purest smile that had not appeared for a long time. He made up his mind and suddenly felt relaxed.

“So complicated? Then forget it. I don’t want it.”

Li Yao crossed his arms and stopped looking at the gold key, as if it were a transparent cloud. “Captain, I refuse to accept the legacy of the Primeval Civilization. Please take it back.”

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.
