"What the hell?"
Dumbfounded, Li Yao could not help but scratch the back of his head hard.
Before the Pangu commander finished his last words, the linguist took a few deep breaths before he was able to continue. "When human beings spread to every corner of the universe and became an inseparable part of the entire civilization, the Nuwa Clan believed that the time was ripe and finally activated the seeds of 'chaos' that were hidden deep inside the souls of themselves and human beings. They launched a civil war and tore apart our great and harmonious civilization. They called themselves the 'Nuwa Civilization'.
"With the help of the army of human beings, the Nuwa Civilization attacked the Pangu Civilization from various fields. They even spread tremendous seeds of chaos into the Pangu Civilization through whatever means possible. Many Pangu warriors were infected by 'chaos' and degenerated into members of the Nuwa Civilization. They became slaves of desires, claws and teeth of feelings, and servants of so-called 'free will'.
"We resisted and fought hard, too, trying to reseal human beings and wake them up from their madness so that they could be controlled again and fight for the order of the universe.
"But our efforts failed time and time again.
"Worlds were destroyed one after another, and planets were falling one after another. The situation was hopeless, and the entire universe was about to be mired in chaos and destruction. We could only try to preserve the seeds of the Pangu Civilization deep inside the dark nebula, hoping that they could be revived in thousands of years and rebuild the universe that was destroyed by chaos, Nuwa, and human beings.
"However, even such an inconspicuous shelter deep inside the dark nebula was discovered by the Nuwa Civilization. I really don't know whether or not the seeds of 'harmony' and 'order' can be passed on until millions of years later, and whether or not brand-new intelligent lives will be born in the broken, dying universe by then, and whether or not they will be able to explore the civilization deep inside the dark nebula and obtain the information.
"If any latecomers do come here and are wise enough to understand the message, please bear in mind the advice of the Pangu civilization. Absolute freedom will only lead to absolute destruction. The so-called 'feelings', 'desires', and 'curiosity' are just the whispers of the devils deep inside your heart. Control yourselves and your civilization. Do not let it expand abnormally. Otherwise, one day, you will become the captives of Chaos and embark on the path to the destruction of the universe, or … you will be erased by the will of the universe!"
The Pangu commander's last words ended there.
However, the impact it brought was like an entire mountain had been thrown into the ocean, causing huge waves that could not be calmed down for a long time.
Li Yao, Meng Chixin, Yan Liren, Wan Mingzhu, and Master Bitter Cicada were all too shocked to say anything. Looking at each other in bewilderment for a long time, they could not move at all.
"What a load of nonsense!"
'Mother White Lotus' Wan Mingzhu shrieked, "Could it have been translated wrongly?"
"A lot of information that we cannot understand is contained in the last words of the Pangu commander," the linguist said. "Naturally, it is impossible for us to translate them.
The linguists of the primeval era said, "But that's all the information that can be translated. The dozens of linguists here have studied it for a long time. Some of the words might be different from the feelings that the target is trying to express. For example, is it 'chaos' or 'extraterrestrial devils', 'tool' or 'carrier', 'corruption' or 'infection'? It is hard to translate those key words perfectly, but the core meaning can't be wrong."
Taking a deep breath, Li Yao calmed himself down and asked, "In the last sentence, we have to control ourselves and our civilization. Otherwise, we will either destroy the universe or be erased by the will of the universe. What is the will of the universe exactly?"
"It is really hard to explain it in our language," the linguist said.
"Here, the Pangu commander used a very unique compound symbol that was similar to the symbol that represented 'universe' earlier, except that it was modified in a very anthropomorphic way. We have never seen the anthropomorphic usage of 'universe' before. After much consideration, we decided to translate it into 'will of the universe'."
"What an unexpected last word."
Meng Chixin took a long breath in relief and said, "A commander of the Pangu and a commander of the Nuwa Clan, but they both claimed that they were righteous and righteous, while the enemy was the evilest. It is hard to tell who is right and who is wrong, and who is good and who is evil."
"The last words of the Pangu commander are indeed quite different from the information that we have learned in the past," Master Bitter Cicada said.
Master Bitter Cicada pondered for a moment and said, "However, on second thought, it does connect all the evidence that we know and explain it from a different perspective … The origin of human beings sounds rather reasonable."
"So, are we suggesting that we are the 'accomplices of Chaos'?"
'Mother White Lotus Wan Mingzhu sniffed. "I don't buy it. The civilization of mankind outside of the dark nebula has developed for a hundred thousand years without destroying the entire universe!"
"Perhaps it's because we haven't developed long enough," Long Yangjun said casually in the communication channel.
"After only a hundred thousand years, the civilization of mankind, which had just grasped the strength, had a few super wars that involved the three thousand Sectors, ripping apart countless worlds and destroying countless planets.
"Also, human beings are developing faster and faster in a geometrical way. During the tens of thousands of years in the age of ancient Cultivators, the social form and the training technology had been evolving very slowly. But in the modern society of Cultivators, everything is developing crazily. New techniques, magical equipment, ideas, and maniacs are popping up almost every day. The development in ten years right now is equal to the development in a thousand years in the past, and the development in one day in the future may be even faster than the development in one year right now.
"I'm afraid that it has never occurred to you what a terrifying ability such accelerated development is. If it goes on like this, it is possible that human beings will completely grasp the ability to interfere with the entire universe in less than fifty thousand years.
"From the perspective of the grand universe, both the past hundred thousand years and the coming fifty thousand years are nothing more than the blink of an eye.
"In the blink of an eye, a terrifying virus will sweep across the entire universe. Don't you think that it is dreadful?
"If the Pangu civilization is an ancient civilization that has been developing at a constant speed or even stagnating, and it took them millions of years to reach their peak, it is not strange at all that they will be greatly shocked when they realize the terrifying potential of mankind's accelerated development and regard human beings as the most perfect 'destroyer'!"
"You do have a point, Fellow Cultivator Wang …"
Meng Chixin pondered for a long time. Seeing that Li Yao had been silent the whole time, he found it odd and asked, "Fellow Cultivator Li, do you have any opinions about the last words of the two commanders from the primeval era, Fellow Cultivator Li?"
"Huh?"
Li Yao was back to himself from his trance. He shook his head slowly and said, "I don't have any opinions. They are all groundless things from hundreds of thousands of years ago. Also, everybody has their own opinions. How can we reach a conclusion so soon? I'm just thinking about something else."
Meng Chixin and the other experts of the Ancient Sages Sector looked at each other. "Is there anything more important than what we are talking about right now?"
"I can't figure out the great theories no matter how hard I try."
Li Yao frowned and said, "I'm just thinking that, assuming that the last words of the Pangu commander pointed out part of the truth and that the so-called 'Nuwa civilization' was a brand-new civilization that was created after part of the members of the Pangu civilization was corrupted by 'Chaos', then, deep inside the brain or soul of every member of the Nuwa civilization, 'Chaos', or rather, an 'extraterrestrial devil' from the primeval era, is lurking?"
Everybody looked at each other in bewilderment. "… Perhaps, we can understand it that way?"
"Then —"
Li Yao pointed at the remains of the Nuwa commander that had turned into ashes in the corner and said, "There should be an 'ancient extraterrestrial devil' deep inside the big sister's brain, right?"
Everybody swallowed at the same time. "It's possible."
"Then, here comes the question."
Li Yao narrowed his eyes and said, "Although the body of the big sister of the Nuwa Clan has perished, where is the 'ancient extraterrestrial devil' lurking deep inside her brain? Did it perish together with her, or — "
Hardly had Li Yao concluded his sentence when everybody's pupils constricted to the size of needle tips.
Everybody activated the spiritual shield of their Colossi to the maximum at the first moment in case the abnormal waves and radiation invaded it.
The moment they activated the spiritual shield, a cluster of unpredictable, colorful energy indeed dashed out of the ashes of the Nuwa commander abruptly.
Perhaps because it was infuriated that Li Yao had seen through its existence, most of the crazy energy crashed into the Tartarean Skeleton brutally in crazy, violent, and cruel shrieks!
BOOM!
For a moment, tremendous invisible particles penetrated through the spiritual shield and the plate armor of the Tartarean Skeleton and darted into Li Yao's brain.
Li Yao felt that he had been hit by a torrent of bloody slaughter and drowned in the swirls of fear and destruction!
Joy, anger, sorrow, joy, the seven emotions and six desires, all desires, ambitions, and curiosity were magnified to the extreme.
He was going to cry to his heart's content. He was going to laugh blatantly. He was going to eat all the delicacies in the world. He was going to kill everybody who disobeyed him. He was going to become the dominator of the entire universe. He was going to create everything, conquer everything, release everything, and destroy everything!
"Hahahaha. Hahahahaha!"
In the middle of the overwhelming ocean of blood and the boundless flames, an enormous shadow with the head of a human and the body of a snake popped up. It let out crazy laughter that was both headache-inducing and weirdly attractive at the same time.
The laughter seemed to be able to evoke the most primitive and ultimate desires. Li Yao felt that a hundred thousand volcanoes had grown out of his body and were erupting incessantly!
"Seriously? This again? Last time, it was the Pangu that was reborn. This time, it's the Nuwa Clan's turn?"
