"Kunlun!"
Including Li Yao, many Yuanying stood up in excitement!
Li Yao still remembered that when he explored the mysteries in the deepest part of the cells in the Hundred Desolation Mountain of the Blood Demon Sector, he had woken up the memories of his ancestors that were hidden at the end of the gene strands.
In the 'primeval memories', there was the Pangu, who created the universe and all living creatures, as well as' Kunlun ', the enormous warship that they were riding!
He also remembered that in Ba Yanzhi's' Mausoleum of Chaos', he had seen a very ancient, splendid throne of the Pangu, as well as the bright gold skeleton that had turned into a fossil, and the body of the Pangu more than ten meters long, whose upper body was that of a human but lower body was that of a dragon!
Ba Yanzhi had been to 'Kunlun' and excavated tremendous relics of the Pangu civilization. That was why he had been able to carry out all kinds of unbelievable studies after he brought back the body of a Pangu!
Li Yao could not wait to explore Kunlun, look for the origin of the civilization of mankind, unravel the secrets of the Pangu's creation, and receive even greater strength from the primeval era!
For a moment, he even forgot about the 'Black Hole Plan' that he had just mentioned. His head was filled with 'Pangu' and 'Kunlun'. His heart was racing, his mouth was dry, his eyes were burning, and his fists were clenched so hard that they were cracking!
However …
Li Yao and Professor Mo Xuan looked at each other and saw the confusion in each other's eyes.
How could the progress be so fast?
Half a year ago, after everything was settled, Li Yao had given Ba Yanzhi's Star Map of Kunlun to the most distinguished astronomer and cosmologist of the three Sectors for analysis with the most computational ability of the three Sectors.
However, Ba Yanzhi's Star Map of Kunlun was drawn with the ancient method from forty thousand years ago. The details were rather vague, and only the general shape of the galaxy was depicted.
In the meantime, the universe was too vast. There were countless galaxies, nebulas, and star clusters around the Blood Demon Sector.
With the Star Map of Kunlun in hand, it was like they knew the color and shape of a certain grain of sand, but it was not easy to find it in the vast desert dozens of kilometers away!
Even with the best crystal processors and biochemical brains of the three Sectors, Li Yao had thought that it would take him a couple of years to crack the precise coordinates of Kunlun. He did not expect that it would be done so soon.
Looking at the face of the Speaker of the Federation, Jiang Hailiu, he was rather gloomy. He was more nervous than excited, as if finding Kunlun was not a good thing but an imminent disaster!
Li Yao thought of something and asked, "Speaker Jiang, why did you discover Kunlun so early? Did something happen?"
The Yuanying Conference came to an end, and everyone returned to their usual identities. Li Yao addressed himself as the "Chairman."
Jiang Hailiu's face was even more solemn. He nodded his head rather slowly and said, one word after another, "Yes. According to the usual progress, it was impossible for us to have discovered Kunlun so quickly. In fact, we did not discover it on our own but were guided by the 'minor apocalypse' of the Imperium of True Human Beings!
"Minor apocalypse!"
Everybody exclaimed after hearing that. The faces of all the Yuanying and demon emperors were twisted at first, but then they could not have been more excited!
The boots that they had been waiting for had finally hit the ground. The minor apocalypse had finally arrived!
It would be the first head-on confrontation between the Imperium and the Federation. Only by killing the minor apocalypse brutally would they have time to carry out the many plans that they had talked about just now!
Four mystic rays appeared in the sky of the hall again and gradually condensed into four shadows. They were all astronomers and cosmologists working in the Star Prier's House in the Flying Star Sector.
They were connected to the hall through the space communication system, too. Shua!
Shua! Shua! Shua!
The 3D light beam behind Jiang Hailiu suddenly changed into a deep, boundless sea of stars, in which a tiny corner was the Heaven's Origin Sector, the Flying Star Sector, and the Blood Demon Sector.
The picture was enlarged and enlarged. The dozens of space zones in the three Sectors were immediately clear.
It could be seen that, at a very close distance away from the three Sectors, a light spot had been flying straight toward the Heaven's Origin Sector and the Blood Demon Sector. But the moment it was about to invade the Heaven's Origin Sector and the Blood Demon Sector, it suddenly brightened up and slightly changed its direction, flying toward the Blood Demon Sector.
Judging from the trajectory, it would pass by the Blood Demon Sector very soon.
The tiny light spot was naturally the minor apocalypse.
"The Star Prier's House is a special observatory," Jiang Hailiu explained. "Its greatest purpose is to monitor the anomalies in the universe and the astronomical phenomena that are suspected to be man-made. Specifically speaking, we are monitoring the anomalies from the Imperium of True Human Beings!
"The minor apocalypse from the Imperium of True Human Beings had already jumped near the Heaven's Origin Sector and the Blood Demon Sector through a super long-distance space jump. After blowing out tremendous spiritual energy and gaining enough acceleration, it turned off most of its power systems and flew toward us with the inertia!
"Therefore, for a long time, the Star Prier's House could not detect its trace. After all, it had turned into something similar to a meteorite and barely released any spiritual waves.
"We could only infer how long it would take for it to arrive at the two Sectors based on the intensity of the spiritual waves it released during the acceleration. That's why it was said that it would take three to five years.
"However, one day ago, it suddenly reappeared on the surveillance light beam of the Star Prier's House. This time, it unleashed powerful spiritual waves again and changed its direction and speed by force at the cost of tremendous fuel!
"The astronomers in the Star Prier's House were all baffled.
"After all, fuel is the most precious thing in a super long-distance space voyage. Every time the speed and direction were changed, a lot of fuel would be wasted. Therefore, they had to be very prudent!
"We can conclude that the 'minor apocalypse' should be some sort of small spacecraft that cannot carry too many materials and fuel. Since it had locked onto us and was flying toward us with the inertia, it should've arrived in three years no matter how slow it was!
"Why did it suddenly change its direction and brush past the Flying Star Sector? It must be noted that such a change might've drained what little fuel it had left, making it impossible for it to turn to the Heaven's Origin Sector and the Blood Demon Sector again!
"Even if it boasted the ability to absorb the spiritual energy in the universe and transform it into fuel, it would've wasted years, if not decades, before it could attack us again!
"Something was not right about the whole thing. Therefore, the astronomers in the Star Prier's House searched forward according to its latest trajectory. Very soon, they discovered a space zone with distinctive features. After careful comparison, it was confirmed that it was the place indicated on the Star Map of Kunlun that Senior Ba Yanzhi left behind!"
Behind Jiang Hailiu, the picture was enlarged nonstop. A very chaotic space zone appeared, which was enshrouded in an overwhelming super nebula. The glamorous nebula was twisting, rotating, and releasing incomplete arms. It looked both like a vortex that was swallowing the sky and a giant crab that was rampaging in the sea of stars!
"The space zone is completely covered by the 'crab nebula'. Cosmic storms, stone belts, and pulsars abound inside the nebula. It is an extremely dangerous and chaotic place!
"Its appearance is entirely different from what Senior Ba Yanzhi described in the Star Map of Kunlun. It must've suffered a certain cataclysm in the recent forty thousand years, which caused it to be deformed beyond recognition!
"Therefore, although it was right next to the Blood Demon Sector, and we scanned it several times in the past, we ignored it all the time!
"It was not until this time, when the minor apocalypse was flying straight toward it that we finally paid attention to it. After comparing the space zone around it with the edge of the Star Map of Kunlun, we finally confirmed that it was the Kunlun that we had been looking for!"
Jiang Hailiu's words made everybody sweat hard.
"Speaker Jiang," Professor Mo Xuan said solemnly, "Are you suggesting that the minor apocalypse of the Imperium of True Human Beings discovered Kunlun first? That's why it exposed itself and changed its direction to Kunlun at the cost of the last fuel?"
"Yes."
Jiang Hailiu nodded and said, "According to the speculation of Li Yao and the fellow Cultivators from the Flying Star Sector, the 'minor apocalypse' was some sort of 'scout' of the Imperium of True Human Beings. Since it was a scout, it naturally did not have a fixed target but was looking for and locking onto the most valuable prey.
"In the riot of the Immortal Cultivators a few years ago, the star child only had time to send an incomplete set of coordinates back to the Imperium of True Human Beings. The Imperium did not know the truth about the Flying Star Sector, nor did it know that a force of considerable scale existed above the Heaven's Origin Sector and the Blood Demon Sector, which were in the middle of the fusion!
"Even if they did, they would probably regard us as bumpkins from the countryside, no better than the barbarians who drink raw meat.
"The greatest enemy of the Imperium is the Holy League, which worships the Pangu's Covenant. Then, in the eyes of the Immortal Cultivators of the Imperium, a relic of the Pangu civilization must be much more valuable than bumpkins like us!
"Bumpkins can be stomped to death whenever they want, but the relics of the Pangu civilization are not easily found.
"That must be the reason why the minor apocalypse changed its direction!"
Pondering for a moment, Professor Mo Xuan asked, "How did the Immortal Cultivators of the Imperium know that it was a relic of the Pangu civilization?"
"The pulsar at the center of the crab nebula is sending out intense pulses to the outside world all the time," Jiang Hailiu said. "It's like a signal of a specific frequency. Perhaps the people of the Imperium got in touch with similar signals in the war against the Holy League and learned the truth.
"It's also possible that the spacecraft from the Imperium boasted certain probing methods that we did not know yet, allowing them to sense the immense spiritual energy hidden deep inside Kunlun. They did not know that it was a relic of the Pangu civilization, but they knew that a lot of materials and fuel could be replenished in this place. Therefore, they went there to take a rest before they attacked us.
