Darkness was the eternal hue of the universe. It was silent, like there was nothing there.
Only the stars flickered, emitting specks of radiance.
Outside the Star Fortress, a black undercurrent was like a tidal wave.
Everyone in the Great Wall University and the Great Wall Army, regardless of whether they were students or soldiers, all inclined their heads and stared at the sky. They couldn't help but hold their breaths.
Feng Lin followed the Lieutenant Colonel and stood among the crowd. His expression was solemn as he remained silent. The atmosphere was unprecedentedly heavy.
In the dark space, a huge shadow that looked like a dark cloud streaked across. It was boundless, and wherever it went, the stars lost their colors. All the energy was devoured, and everything turned cold and silent.
The undercurrent was like tidal waves, gushing forth endlessly, wanting to drown everything. It caused people to feel despair and despise reality.
When the images were displayed by the equipment, they could see that these were all spirit monsters. There were billions of them, and they came in all shapes and forms. There were even many species that humans hadn't discovered yet. Some were like man-eating flowers, with two serrated mouths. Some were like tardigrades, with four claws and malevolent-looking mouthparts that were magnified tens of thousands of times. Some were like pterosaurs, with claws at the tips of their wings. They were incomparably sharp …
The vast number of spirit monsters could be seen in all directions.
The black spirit tide came wave after wave, wanting to drown the entire Great Wall University completely, leaving no space.
"The spirit tide is really here!"
"In another hour, they will arrive at the Great Wall University. We mustn't allow them to wreak havoc in our Milky Way Galaxy! "
"There's only one of us!"
…
In the Star Fortress, a series of impassioned voices could be heard.
Facing the incoming spirit tide, the people within the Great Wall University didn't show any signs of fear. Instead, their battle intent surged.
For thousands of years, the Great Wall University had guarded the borders of the Milky Way Galaxy, protecting humanity's frontline.
The prosperity of human civilization in the Milky Way Galaxy depended on the blood, sweat, and tears of the seniors of the Great Wall University.
After a thousand years of bloody battles, the hatred of the ancestors was passed down from generation to generation. There was no way to resolve it.
"Kill! I want to take revenge for my elder brother! "
"My grandfather, father, and elder brother were all sacrificed in the spirit tide. Now … it's my turn!"
"A battlefield between races! Anyone can win! But we humans mustn't lose! "
…
Their morale was high, and the soldiers immediately armed themselves to the teeth.
All the star fortresses had entered the highest state of alert. Tens of thousands of thick cannonballs were extended, aimed at the Blacktide in the sky, ready to fire.
Amidst the ferocious spirit tide, there weren't many who felt fear. On the contrary, they were all filled with a strong battle intent.
Both inside and outside the Great Wall, it was as if a pot of boiling water had been boiled. It took a long time for it to calm down, and the atmosphere was tense and intense.
It was as though the arrival of the Spirit Tide wasn't enough to make them feel fear. Instead, they felt that they had found a chance to take revenge.
Feng Lin couldn't help but be influenced by it. Hot blood flowed in his heart and surged.
However, he did not lose his rationality because of this. Instead, he considered the following situation.
Once the war between the races started, everyone in the Interstellar Era would be responsible for it.
At that time, Feng Lin didn't think that he wouldn't need to go to the battlefield.
Even if he did, he was unwilling to do so.
The battlefield was [Hero's Mound], and also [Hero's Arena].
Nothing was richer than the wealth of war!
Fighting against the spirit race on the battlefield, plundering the spoils of war to nourish oneself. Regardless of whether it was authority, cultivation opportunities, or the products of the spirit civilization, all of these were resources that could allow one to grow stronger.
If one could survive until the end, it would be sufficient for one to obtain unimaginable achievements.
Every time there was a war, it would be time for the human race to reshuffle the cards. This was an opportunity that mustn't be missed.
How could Feng Lin be willing to stay at the back?
As the black spirit tide neared, everywhere it passed by, even the stars started to dim. It was like flames were extinguished. The originally dark outer space turned deathly silent, with no light at all. It was like a gigantic black hole that could devour one's soul. It was extremely terrifying.
Just by staring at it for a long time, one's heart would involuntarily pound.
"This is …?" Feng Lin asked in astonishment.
The Lieutenant Colonel spoke, "Do you understand now? Different races in the interstellar space will fight to the death. There's no room for reconciliation. The spirit race is an energy race, and they rely on devouring the energy of the universe to survive. They are existences like the scavengers of the universe. Everywhere they pass by, all energy would be sucked dry. Everything would die, becoming a dark apocalypse! Without energy, no life would be able to survive! The spirit race is like a plague in the universe. Everywhere they passed by, not a single blade of grass would grow! Even stars wouldn't be able to withstand it. Everywhere they passed by, everything would be destroyed. According to the information we deciphered when we hunted the spirit race in the past, we discovered that they had already wiped out over ten star systems and over 30,000 interstellar civilizations. Among them, there were many civilizations whose technology was more advanced than ours, but they were all annihilated in the end! "Humans walked out of the solar system and unified the entire Milky Way Galaxy in over a thousand years. But before they could walk out and take a good look, they were attacked by the spirit race! Over two thousand years have passed, and it wasn't easy for us to stabilize the situation. However, we still have no way to break out and see a vaster land! "
As he spoke until here, he clenched his fists tightly. His dignity as a soldier caused him to have a sullen look on his face.
The meaning behind his words caused Feng Lin to feel a chill down his spine.
As someone who came later, Feng Lin didn't have a deep understanding of his feelings. He only felt a little strange in his heart.
"Those civilizations were more advanced than us, but why did they go extinct? Why did we resist for over two thousand years? "
"Because although those alien races have technology, their individual evolution level isn't high. They have no way to fight against the spirit race! In the cruel interstellar war, their individual lifeforms aren't able to withstand the price of war. They are extremely weak, and their life evolution level isn't on the same level as the spirit race. Under the mental attacks of the spirit race, their fragile lives were like harvested straws, dying tragically. Their race was annihilated! "What's fortunate for us interstellar humans is that we have the existence of mythological genes in our bodies. That's the precious wealth our ancient ancestors left behind for us. It can allow our life level to undergo a transformation and reach a higher realm. "Although we are very weak at the start, as long as we cultivate step by step, we'll be able to fight against the spirit race sooner or later, or even far surpass them! "Our individual combat prowess isn't any weaker than the spirit race! Our technology is also sufficient to fend off their attacks. In that case, we'll end up in a prolonged stalemate! "The lieutenant general said, his tone filled with agitation.
(So this is the case!)
Feng Lin nodded as he fell into deep thought.
