When Li Yao said the words, his soul seemed to have been completely controlled by the soundwaves. Even his face was as creepy as the Pangu warrior's. ≧
The short sentence was like a bucket of freezing water that poured over Sparkle from head to toe and froze everybody's heart and brain.
There was nothing but silence inside Sparkle. The only sound that could be heard was that of the magical equipment being repaired.
Professor Mo Xuan stared at Li Yao and asked hesitantly, "Are — are you sure?"
Before Li Yao replied, he waved his hands solemnly and said, "Forget it. Considering everything we've seen, the accuracy of the sentence is very high. The general meaning shouldn't be too far off.
"There is too much information in the sentence. After all, it will take time to repair the spiritual shield and examine the power rune arrays. I suggest that we each calm down for ten minutes and sort out the mess in your head. We will discuss the issue again in ten minutes. How does that sound?"
Li Yao and the Fire Ant both agreed with the suggestion.
After seeing such a weird scene and hearing the infuriated roars from billions of years ago, they indeed needed some time to calm down.
Ten minutes later, the three of them gathered again. Leaving aside Professor Mo Xuan, Li Yao and the Fire Ant's faces were wet, indicating that they had just been soaked in ice water.
"It seems that we have indeed found an ancient battlefield from the primeval era."
Professor Mo Xuan was the first to speak. "But it is not a battlefield between the Pangu and the alien species in space but between the Pangu and the Nuwa Clan. This is a civil war of the 'Pangu civilization'!"
Li Yao turned his eyes to the Fire Ant. "The demon race claims to be the descendants of the Pangu and the Nuwa Clan. You have studied the heritages of the primeval era more thoroughly than we do. What do you think of the 'civil war of the Pangu civilization'?"
Both the civilization of mankind and the civilization of demons regarded themselves as the descendants of the Pangu and the Nuwa Sisters. It was an undeniable fact. As the saying went, the Pangu created the universe, and the Nuwa Sisters made the contributions of "patching the sky" and "creating human beings".
However, in the civilization of mankind, due to the thirty thousand years of the Great Dark Age, the heritages from the ancient Cultivation world forty thousand years ago were all cut off and turned into absurd myths and legends, such as Pangu Splitting the Sky, Kuafu Chasing the Sun, Jingwei Filling the Sea, Hou Yi Shooting the Sun, and so on.
On the other hand, the demon race, in order to pursue the legitimacy of their dominion over the sea of stars, had described the Pangu as one of the twelve ancient demon clans. In the past thirty thousand years, they had been excavating, exploring, and researching the origins of the civilization nonstop. Finally, they had constructed a complete theory of civilization development.
Although it was still impossible to avoid the uncanny and exaggerated parts, it was much more reliable than the pure myths and legends on the human race's side.
Pondering for a moment, the Fire Ant said, "According to the 'Legends of the Ancient Demons', the popular history book of the demon race, before the universe was born, the sea of stars and the boundless galaxy did not exist yet. Everything in the universe was highly condensed in a tiny point, which was known as the 'Primeval Beginning'. In a more anthropomorphic way, it was known as the 'Primeval Lord of Heaven'!
"The Primeval Lord of Heaven turned into three thousand paths in a big bang that was beyond our imagination. They constructed an expanding universe together. In the universe at the very beginning, laws and chaos competed with each other. Two entirely different creatures were born, too. The Pangu, who followed the laws, consolidated the paths, and established order, and Chaos, who despised the laws, swallowed the paths, and destroyed order!"
The Fire Ant had once founded the organization 'Blade of Chaos'. 'Chaos' was named to commemorate 'Chaos' Ba Yanzhi. But 'Chaos' was not invented by Ba Yanzhi in the beginning but referred to another primeval species that was hostile to the Pangu billions of years ago.
In the common belief of human beings and demons, the Pangu had always been regarded as the righteous party and the Chaos as the evil party. That was why Ba Yanzhi's enemies years ago, the 'Ultimate One Demons', despised him as' Chaos'.
In the end, when his cells collapsed and he changed into all kinds of forms without a fixed shape, he was indeed similar to the legendary Chaos.
"The Pangu and the Chaos had been fighting for too many years. After the three thousand Sectors were destroyed, both of them were exhausted. At that time, the Nuwa Clan, which joined the Pangu civilization last, shouldered the heavy responsibility of repairing the three thousand Sectors, or 'mending the sky'. To 'mending the sky', she created the tiny creatures known as' human beings'. Through the strength of the space arm, she threw human beings to every corner of the three thousand Sectors like splashing mud!
"Little did they know that the creatures known as' human beings' were 'corrupted' by the Chaos when they were created. Instead of listening to the orders of the Pangu, they considered themselves the dominators of the three thousand Sectors and even rebelled against the Pangu in the end!"
Taking a deep breath, the Fire Ant said, "That is exactly what is recorded in the 'Legends of Ancient Demons'. Perhaps you have always thought that it was a slander that the demons made to defame human beings, but from what I can see now, even if it is a slander, it must have a certain source. As the saying goes, wind from an empty cave is not necessarily groundless!"
"Let's drop the absurd myths."
Professor Mo Xuan thought for a moment and said, "I think a more reasonable explanation should be this. The Pangu civilization was an ancient civilization that lived hundreds of thousands of years ago, but they were not a civilization of a single race but an alliance of multiple races.
"In the legends, there were the Pangu, the Kuafu, the Gonggong, the Zhurong, and so on. Every race had different features. For example, the Zhurong preferred to live in a scorching world with a temperature of hundreds of degrees and established their civilization by absorbing the energy of magma and geothermal energy. The Gonggong, on the other hand, was obviously an aquatic species, and their favorite living environment was the bottom of the ocean.
"It is hard to imagine that they were two forms of the same race. It is more reasonable to say that they were two races that originated from different planets.
"The home planet of the Zhurong race should be a planet that was very close to a star. The temperature there was high all year round, and magma and geothermal energy were abundant. Volcanic eruptions were common there, so a race like the Zhurong race that was good at using fire and heat was born.
"The earliest Gonggong race lived on a planet that was completely covered by seawater. From there, they evolved the technology to open the ocean and make great use of water resources to analyze energy from the seawater.
"Although their living environments were completely different, they were all carbon-based life forms with flesh and blood. They all had a head, a torso, and four limbs. From the perspective of the universe, their civilization forms were very, very similar! Then, when the two races came into contact with each other, there was a certain possibility that they could form an even wider alliance!
"The other races of the Pangu civilization should be the same. In the end, a total of twelve or thirteen races joined the 'Pangu Alliance', and they were collectively known as the 'Pangu Race'!"
Li Yao and the Fire Ant nodded quickly. Professor Mo Xuan's deduction was quite reasonable. Although it was not particularly eye-catching, it was very likely to be the truth.
"Then, what is the 'Chaos', the enemy of the Pangu race?"
Li Yao admired 'Chaos' Ba Yanzhi, the ancient Cultivator from forty thousand years ago. He did not seem to hate the 'Chaos' in the primeval era as much as he did now. He could not help but ask.
Professor Mo Xuan shook his head. "It is hard to tell because of the lack of information. However, there is a theory that the 'extraterrestrial devils' today are the descendants of the 'Chaos' in the primeval era. Then, it is possible that we can infer the form of the Chaos from the extraterrestrial devils!"
Li Yao thought for a moment. His eyes beaming, he asked, "Are you suggesting that it is a pure energy civilization?"
The extraterrestrial devils did not have a physical body and lived on a type of energy named 'tenebrum energy'. They were ever-changing and unpredictable. In the history of mankind, they had always been the most dreadful enemy, even more dreadful than the demon race.
Other than the extraterrestrial devils, there were also a lot of pure energy lives in the universe. For example, the 'Blood Stripe Virus' that Li Yao had swallowed was an out-and-out pure energy life.
To be more straightforward, Professor Mo Xuan and the four star spirits were all pure energy lives. They could survive even without a shell, except that they could only survive for a short time and would be interfered with by the radiation.
"Very likely!"
Professor Mo Xuan nodded and said, "In that case, the so-called 'Pangu' is the 'great alliance of carbon-based lives', and the Chaos is the 'association of pure energy lives'. The two civilizations exist in completely different forms, and the universal environments that they require are certainly different. It is perfectly normal for them to have endless conflicts.
"Leaving aside the groundless legend that the Primeval Lord of Heaven established the three thousand Great Paths, it is certain that the Pangu civilization and the Chaos civilization once had a great war millions of years ago. It was probably a competition between 'carbon-based lives' and 'energy lives'. Both parties wanted to modify the universe into an environment that was suitable for their survival and reproduction. But in the end, both parties suffered heavy losses and were about to go extinct.
"The Pangu civilization had more or less the upper hand. They still had the strength to send one of their species, the 'Nuwa Clan', to carry out the 'Sky Fixing Plan', which was to repair the three thousand Sectors that had been destroyed and modify them into the environment that was suitable for carbon-based lives.
"The Nuwa Clan took part in the primeval war, too. Their remaining forces couldn't have been strong enough to complete such an enormous project on their own. Therefore, they created 'human beings', a tiny creature with a high reproductive ability, to accomplish the mission."
The professor paused for a moment and mumbled solemnly, "According to the 'Legends of Ancient Demons', human beings were just 'tools' that the Pangu civilization used to repair the three thousand Sectors. In the past, we always regarded such a theory as shameless slander. But considering the last words of the Pangu warrior …
"So, the 'Nuwa Clan', a branch of the Pangu civilization, and 'human beings', a brand-new species created by the Nuwa Clan, betrayed the Pangu civilization together?
