A month later, deep inside the Land of Eternal Night, above the Nuwa warship and the Pangu laboratory …
The deep blue flowers that were blossoming in the night sky when Long Yangjun left were truly like the spring breeze that was full of vitality and vigor. The ice field and even the Ancient Sages Sector at this moment were entirely different from a month ago. Compared to a couple of months ago, they had even been reborn, as if they had been born in a different world.
After the remaining soul of the Nuwa commander was annihilated by Li Yao, no new changes happened in the Pangu laboratory. The exploration team discovered a lot of dead bodies of the Pangu and the Nuwa Clan from the crab factories. However, most of the crab factories had been completely destroyed by the Nuwa Clan hundreds of thousands of years ago, and the dead bodies of both the Pangu and the Nuwa Clan were incomplete and fragile. Even if there had been something similar to the extraterrestrial devils, they had long perished in the river of time.
However, the debris of the magical equipment that they left behind, including the remote weapons and flying swords and sabers of the primeval era, as well as the ancillary computational and thinking magical equipment of the Pangu clan that was similar to crystal processors, made the exploration team a fruitful trip.
It was almost like the Xing Yao Federation had taken advantage of the competition between the Pangu and the Nuwa Clan.
In the meantime, the value of all the magical equipment debris in the Nuwa warship and the Pangu laboratory combined was perhaps not as great as the two 'dictionaries'.
With the two sets of dictionaries that would teach you the primeval language step by step, not only would they be able to parse the profound, obscure languages on Kunlun and open the secret rooms and forbidden areas that had been sealed for a hundred years, they would also be able to peek into the mysterious thinking and information transmission methods of the primeval species, significantly improving the information screening, analysis, processing, and communication abilities of the civilization of mankind.
Informationization was the key for a universal civilization!
In the meantime, an enormous space gate was established on the orbit of the Ancient Sages Sector, too.
The star beacons that constituted the space gate were from the components of the space gate that had been destroyed by Li Yao in the Black Wind Fleet. Their efficiency and guiding distance were so high that they could even summon an entire fleet from the center of the cosmos to the edge of the cosmos.
Therefore, despite the blockage of the dark nebula, the Federation, which was right next to the Ancient Sages Sector, received the message from the Ancient Sages Sector very soon. The 'bridge' between the two worlds had been officially established. With enough crystals and powerful starships, it would be possible to jump from any planet of the Federation to the orbit of the Ancient Sages Sector to the Ancient Sages Sector!
The speed of the Federation's integration of the Ancient Sages Sector was undoubtedly much faster than before.
Han Baling, Emperor Phoenix, Wan Mingzhu, Qi Changsheng, Qi Zhongdao … All the local leaders of the Ancient Sages Sector were trying their best to modernize the forces under their command.
After the initial turbulence and conflict, the entire world advanced rapidly, changing with each passing day.
Li, Long Yangjun, of Yangjun's Long Yangjun, too.
Long Yangjun's last words before she left a month ago had been haunting him all the time.
His real destiny … Yes, he had always had a destiny. He had to complete the Vulture Plan and destroy something!
The uncanny dream had haunted him for more than a hundred years since he was born. It was time for him to unravel the mysteries today.
Also, Li Yao vaguely had a feeling that when he unraveled the mysteries and learned the truth of the Vulture Plan, it would be the time for him to truly climb into the Divinity Transformation Stage!
Yes. Li Yao was preparing to break into the Divinity Transformation Stage in the Ancient Sages Sector!
The spiritual energy in this Sector was abundant. The odds of him breaking into the Divinity Transformation Stage should be slightly higher than in the heartland of the Federation. Even a one percent difference would be more than welcome.
What was more important was the fatal 'apocalypses'.
Right now, Li Yao had a much deeper understanding of Cultivation, civilization, and the universe than he had a hundred years ago.
A hundred years ago, he had learned that the 'minor apocalypses' that targeted experts were a random 'dark forest strike'. They were the 'blockades' that countless primeval civilizations had made against the alien species in the billions of years of history of the universe.
However, based on the latest studies of the federation in the past hundred years, the personal experiences of Meng Chixin and Wu Suiyun, the two Divinity Transformation Stage Cultivators, and Long Yangjun's speculation a month ago, Li Yao had a new idea.
Perhaps, the apocalypses could be classified not only into big and small ones but also into internal and external ones. The external ones were the automatic cruise weapons left by the primeval civilizations, and the internal ones were the Cultivators' own 'ecological balance'.
If the soul of a human being could truly be regarded as a stable ecosystem, advancing from the Yuanying Stage to the Divinity Transformation Stage would undoubtedly be a drastic modification of the entire ecosystem. Countless new variables would be introduced, and the 'creatures' living inside would significantly evolve.
During this process, the slightest mistake could lead to the collapse of the ecosphere. Could this also be an internal Heavenly Tribulation?
In any case, the Ancient Sages Sector, enshrouded in the dark nebula, was a natural 'shelter'. Advancing into the Divinity Transformation Stage in this place would at least reduce the odds of the 'minor apocalypses' from the outside world in the traditional sense.
Besides, Li Yao could not wait to unravel the mysteries of the Vulture Plan. He could not wait to return to the Federation at all!
On the Land of Eternal Night, inside a large comprehensive supply starship …
From the Refinement Stage to the Building Foundation Stage, and from the Building Foundation Stage to the Core Formation Stage, the Federation had a complete set of ancillary systems and facilities that knew how to deal with them.
However, advancing into the Yuanying Stage and the Divinity Transformation Stage were very personal and mysterious problems. At such a point, nobody could help Li Yao except himself.
Li Yao had designed a unique system to assist in the upgrading of magical equipment for himself.
The main device was a combustion accelerant compression cabin inside the comprehensive supply starship. It could have pressed the ancillary fuel additives into the combustion chamber at 120 times the standard atmospheric pressure and pushed the starship almost five kilometers long, which was the size of a mountain, to break free of gravity and break out of the atmosphere.
At this moment, it would press the concentrated nutrition liquids carefully made by the Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures of the entire Ancient Sages Sector into Li Yao's body through the pores on the starship with even greater pressure!
Meng Chixin, Wu Suiyun, Yan Liren, and Master Bitter Cicada, the four unparalleled experts, were guarding Li Yao.
"Let's begin!"
Soaked in the thick, glittering liquids, Li Yao's eyes were even brighter than the nutrition liquids, and his soul couldn't have been firmer.
Hum!
The rune arrays carved around the entire device shivered violently, as if a swarm of bees had suddenly flown up.
Tremendous silver liquids from all directions were compressed and compressed into Li Yao's body!
Li Yao took a deep breath. The concentrated liquids of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures in his nostrils, trachea, and lungs swept his self-awareness into the depths of his soul like a running river.
At this moment, the view deep inside his soul was entirely different from what he had seen in the past.
The Ancient Sages Sector, the Tian Yuan Realm, the Blood Demon Sector, the Flying Star Sector … The worlds that he had been to in the past were all blossoming like tiny flowers. Every petal and every stamen was a glittering section that recorded his every move, his joys, his sorrows, and even his thoughts about everybody and everything.
Through the flowers, he seemed to be able to travel back in time to every moment of his life and experience everything at that time again.
His life became a highly-unified condensation, which was more real and clearer than before.
Cultivation, in other words, was to "know yourself."
Right now, Li Yao's understanding of himself in this life had reached a whole new level. But he did not stop there. Instead, like a desperate submarine, he sank toward the deepest part of the ocean and the deepest valley in the deepest part of the ocean.
He passed through the Tian Yuan Realm, the Blood Demon Sector, the Flying Star Sector, and the Blood Demon Sector again. He did not even stop for long in the magical equipment graveyard where his life began. Instead, he gritted his teeth and charged at the crack that had been caused by multiple collisions!
What is the Vulture Plan exactly? What am I going to destroy exactly? Tell me. Tell me!
Li Yao's self-awareness moved forward, or rather, sank, without bothering anything. The bottomless valley turned into an endless tunnel. His speed was higher and higher. He was surrounded by starlight, which was dragged into helical rays of light. The rays of light interweaved into all kinds of bizarre, unpredictable patterns. Every pattern seemed to contain the most mysterious information, but he had no time to bother about that. His soul, mind, will, and subconsciousness were all occupied by one word.
Earth!
BOOM!
After a deafening explosion that sounded like the end of the universe, the starlight shattered, the darkness dispersed, and the tunnel was connected. Li Yao finally returned to the orbit of 'Earth', the third planet in the solar system, where the uncanny dream began.
He seemed to have been melded with himself at that time. Floating in the void, he stared at the beautiful, peaceful, and fragile blue planet in silence.
It was rather strange. In his mottled, broken memories, he had seen the blue Earth burnt into a yellow, withered, rotten apple countless times.
But the Earth at this moment was still plump, translucent, and blue, like a flawless gem that had never been scourged by any force.
"Run. Run to the end of the universe and live the rest of your life in peace. You can't defeat it. You can't destroy it!"
As he expected, Li Yao heard the desperate pleading of his old companions from the depths of Earth again.
Then, he felt that every cell and every soul in his body was burning furiously, burning his life into the most unwavering determination. He said in the deepest voice, one word after another, "No. We have not failed yet. No matter how strong and invincible it is, I have escaped after all!
