What the mental devil said cast Li Yao into a trance for a moment.
But in the next second, he furrowed his brows and snorted, "Don't give me that! You are messing with my mind again! Even if what you said is true, the 'original master of the castle' did not leave voluntarily but was driven away in frustration after the 'slave uprising'!
"In any case, the universe is now in the hands of human beings. Our ancestors fought side by side with the Nuwa Clan and claimed the universe with fists, blades, and blood. If the Pangu civilization wants to make a comeback, they must be prepared to pay ten times more fists, blades, and blood than we did!
"Hehe. Since we suppressed the Pangu civilization once in the God-Sealing War, we can suppress and even annihilate them again!
"Just look at Wu Suiyun and Meng Chixin's personal experience. However mysterious the succession plan of the Pangu civilization is, it is not 100% certain that it will succeed. Even the two Cultivators in the era of the ancient Cultivators failed to control them, not to mention the brand-new human beings in the outside world who are armed by the modern Cultivation civilization!"
Li Yao was full of respect and admiration for Wu Suiyun and Meng Chixin, the two seniors in the Divinity Transformation Stage.
It had nothing to do with location, identity, camp, era, or kindness.
It was purely because he was deeply moved by the greatest courage and sacrifice of such a race as a fellow 'human being'!
In order to make up for their mistake and prevent the devils from the primeval era from savaging the world again, the two Divinity Transformation Stage Cultivators made a choice in the blink of an eye. They died together in such a desolate place without anybody knowing!
Li Yao found it hard to imagine their mental state at that time. He did not know what he would have done if he were in Wu Suiyun's and Meng Chixin's shoes.
No matter how different the two 'ancient Divinity Transformation Stage Cultivators' were from the modern Cultivators in terms of ideology, they lived up to the name of 'Cultivators' after all and were incomparable to the shameless people of the six major sects.
Li Yao had considered whether or not what they said was true.
Could it be a new trap? For example, they might have been manipulated by the Pangu civilization and intentionally lured everybody here?
However, if he thought about it carefully, he knew that the possibility was very slim.
This was because if they were really controlled by the Pangu civilization, there was no need for them to tell everyone so much top-secret information.
They were already capable of manipulating the Colossi. Then, as long as they drove the black-skeleton-like Colossi to the place and broke the barriers by brute force, they would be able to connect the "assault teeth" of the Nuwa warship to the underground laboratory again, they would naturally be able to release the "activated beasts".
Ignorant and with the interference of two Divinity Transformation Stage Cultivators, many Yuanying would certainly be attacked by the "activation beasts" and transformed into new Pangu!
This was the simplest, most direct, and most reliable plan. Li Yao repeatedly deduced that the success rate was almost 100%.
What they were doing now would be like drawing legs on a snake!
Therefore, Li Yao chose to believe them.
Then, a new problem appeared.
What choice would the two super experts in the Divinity Transformation Stage make after learning part of the "truth" of this world and the "threat" that their home was faced with?
"Senior Wu, Senior Meng, for the next hundred years, will you stay in this … battleship?"
Li Yao asked respectfully.
"Yes. We had no choice but to stay in this place!"
Wu Suiyun said, "When Meng Chixin and I were attacking each other, we both sensed that our souls were corrupted by the mysterious force and underwent dangerous mutations. Therefore, we attacked brutally and without any mercy. We almost annihilated the enemy's soul completely!
"After we were killed by each other, only a few pieces of our remaining souls were still floating inside the battleship, unable to condense any self-awareness.
"If we were in the outside world, such feeble remaining souls would've dispersed very soon under the scorching sunlight, and we would've perished, too.
"However, the shell of the deities' battleship is extremely solid, and a very stable and comfortable gas is filled inside. It is like a natural paradise that can resist all the interference of the outside world.
"Next to many warehouses and corpses, some crystals that haven't dried up yet can be found. For the ghosts, they are like inexhaustible 'food'."
"Our remaining souls floated inside the battleship for almost twenty years, absorbing the spiritual energy inside the crystals and nurturing and recovering ourselves. Finally, our self-awareness was condensed again, and our memories of the past were restored.
"However, we were still extremely weak at that time. Not to mention the Divinity Transformation Stage that we were in when we were alive, we were even weaker than regular ghosts!
"Outside of the battleship was the Land of Eternal Night, where violent tempests and snowstorms were everywhere. With the toughness of our souls, we would've been ripped apart by the tempests and frozen by the snow the moment we stepped out of the battleship, losing all our vitality!
"Therefore, Meng Chixin's soul and mine were completely sealed inside the deities' battleship!"
Wu Suiyun said, somewhat gloomily, but Meng Chixin grinned and continued. "Besides, after discovering the shocking secrets of the deities' battleship and the underground palace of the devils, this place is such a natural paradise that is suitable for the nourishment of souls, and there are so many primeval treasures and corpses for us to study. We wouldn't be willing to leave even if they asked us to!"
Including Li Yao, all the Yuanying looked at each other and nodded, understanding what the two Divinity Transformation Stage Cultivators were thinking.
For the two unique Divinity Transformation Stage Cultivators of the Ancient Sages Sector, power, position, money … Such vulgar things were all within their reach and were not worth their attention at all. They probably couldn't have been more tired of them.
The deities' battleship, the underground palace of the devils, the primeval treasures, the war between deities and devils in the primeval times … Only the things that concerned the 'origin' and the 'future' of the entire world could attract the two Divinity Transformation Stage Cultivators so deeply that they would explore, study, and trace back to the source at any cost!
"Although Wu Suiyun and I were on different sides in the beginning, and we even had a life-and-death battle for the fate of the Great Qian Dynasty and the Dark Cloud Prairies, after we discovered the weird 'graveyard' deep inside the palace of devils and were transformed into terrifying devils by the monsters, we both realized that the Ancient Sages Sector was probably faced with an unimaginable, irresistible threat. It was an out-and-out 'world-ending crisis'!
"Faced with the world-ending crisis, the competition of fate between the Great Qian Dynasty and the Dark Cloud Prairies was absolutely insignificant and hilarious!
"Only by abandoning our previous grudges and working together could we have a slim chance of survival and help the world we shared to survive the crisis!
"Therefore, in the decades that followed, we stayed on the deities' battleship and absorbed crystals to repair our souls while we studied everything in this place.
"Turning into an unpredictable ghost does have several advantages. Except for the few critical cabins that are sealed by barriers, we can enter the rest of the cabins directly, and we can study everything inside!"
"Our studies were quite remarkable. The two of us discovered the most shocking truth!
"It was the existence of the 'deities' realm 'that we talked about just now!"
After saying that, Meng Chixin paused for a moment. Glancing at the Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators who were pretending to be calm and sweating hard, he smiled and said, "It is not very accurate to call it the 'deities' realm '. It should be said that beyond the Ancient Sages Sector, there is a vast sea of stars with infinite worlds!
"Right. Speaking of the 'sea of stars', do you know what the real 'stars' look like?
"No. Not the glittering debris outside of the Ancient Sages Sector. Those things are nothing more than dust in the boundless universe at best. They are not qualified to be called stars at all.
"The real stars are enormous fireballs that emit infinite light and heat, similar to our 'sun'!
"Imagine that in the sky above our heads, billions of suns are hanging far, far away. Next to every sun, there is a world that is about the size of the Ancient Sages Sector, if not much larger and more developed than the Ancient Sages Sector!"
"Ah!"
Other than Li Yao, all the super Yuanying were deeply shocked by Meng Chixin's words.
It was like a fish living in a tiny pond suddenly discovering that there was an island outside the pond, and beyond the island was a boundless ocean!
Billions of suns and billions of worlds!
Even the unparalleled experts such as Qi Zhongdao and Han Baling, due to the limitations of their past experiences and the environment around them, found it hard to imagine what such a world would look like!
Boundless emptiness, horror, and loneliness immediately flooded the heart of every Yuanying like a black tide.
When human beings discovered for the first time how vast the universe was and that the world they were in was not the center of the universe but an insignificant dust at the edge of the universe, they would discover their insignificance and nothingness at the same time and would be caught in the abyss of panic, unable to free themselves!
The Cultivators in all the worlds outside had gone through the same psychological changes a long time ago before they evolved from 'planetary natives' to 'universal natives'!
The natives of the Ancient Sages Sector were learning the lesson today, a long, long time in the future.
Meng Chixin and Wu Suiyun observed the faces of the ten Yuanying without batting an eyelid.
Their eyes stayed on Li Yao's face for the longest time, as if they had discovered that the shock that Li Yao managed to pretend was slightly different from the real shock of other people.
The two of them looked at each other. Something deep inside their translucent eyes was glittering.
"It's only natural if you think about it carefully," Meng Chixin said unhurriedly.
Meng Chixin said unhurriedly. "How strong were the primeval deities and devils in the primeval era? How could a tiny Ancient Sages Sector possibly trap them?
"All in all, after decades of study and research, Wu Suiyun and I have finally confirmed that there are worlds billions of times vaster beyond the Ancient Sages Sector!
"We can call the boundless sea of stars the 'deities' realm ', but I prefer to call it the' extraterrestrial domain '!
