Lei Chenghu was so fascinated that he finally took a long breath in relief. He asked suspiciously, "You've grasped the Houyi Clan's technology to activate the sun, Your Majesty?"
Wuying Qi continued, "After the Pangu civilization's alliance was established, the Houyi Clan and the Kuafu Clan continued their studies on stars. They spent tens of thousands of years surveying the parameters and features of countless stars in the three thousand Sectors. They also conducted experiments and constructions on the stars that were at strategic locations. Not only were there projects such as the Kuafu Sphere in peacetime, but there were also projects such as' star bombs' and 'stellar storm generators' that were used in wars.
"When the Pangu Clan and the Nuwa Clan broke out in the primeval war, most of the Houyi Clan took the Pangu's side. When the war was at an impasse, and the Nuwa Clan was on the winning side, the Houyi Clan naturally proposed a series of tactics to infuriate the suns and establish a splendid 'solar defense line' with countless stars, hoping to stop the Nuwa Clan's army.
"Think about it. On the space route where the Nuwa Clan's army was jumping, thousands of suns were infuriated at the same time and spurted out boundless walls of fire, dividing the entire universe into two halves that were dazzling and dark. What a magnificent and soul-stirring scene it was!
"Because of the Empyreal Terminus Sector's special astronomical location, it's where thousands of wormholes converge and the center of the three thousand Sectors. Naturally, it's the most important part of the 'solar defense line'. The Houyi Clan has established a powerful solar activation device known as' Gold Crystal Pyramid 'on the capital planet of the Empyreal Terminus Sector."
"Gold Crystal Pyramid?"
Lei Chenghu slightly frowned. "Since it's called a 'pyramid', it should've been a magnificent building. Why have I never heard of such a wonder in the capital before?"
Wuying Qi smiled and said, "The Gold Crystal Pyramid is a piece of 'stellar-level magical equipment' that the Houyi Clan crafted after tens of thousands of years of studies on stars. They've been set up in every galaxy where the star energy is stable and powerful. Most of the Gold Crystal Pyramids are in the shape of a cone with a square base. That's why they're also called 'pyramids'. Such a structure can activate the spiritual energy to the maximum extent, gather the spiritual energy into a beam, and shoot it at the stars billions of kilometers away as a signal to activate the stars.
"However, while the Houyi Clan was fully prepared in the primeval war, the situation on the battlefield was not so bad that thousands of suns were infuriated. Or rather, the Pangu Clan, the Nuwa Clan, the Houyi Clan, and many carbon-based civilizations were all drained of their present and future by the war. Even if thousands of suns were sacrificed, they couldn't change their fate of destruction.
"Therefore, the Houyi Clan only activated part of the 'Gold Crystal Pyramids', but a lot of the Gold Crystal Pyramids were left in the universe after the primeval civilizations were annihilated, including this one on the capital planet.
"In the hundreds of thousands of years that followed, the Gold Crystal Pyramids that stood on the surface of the planet kept collapsing. By the time the civilization of mankind rose, most of them had already been buried deep below the ground and melted into the rocks. Naturally, nobody knew about them."
Lei Chenghu thought for a moment and said, "Since the Houyi Clan is already extinct, and most of the Gold Crystal Pyramids have perished below the ground, how did you know about the 'stellar-level magical equipment', Your Majesty?"
"I received the relevant knowledge from the Supreme Emperor's mausoleum. To be more exact, it was an incomplete Book of Revelation that recorded the mysteries of the energy of stars. Of course, it also included how to activate the 'Gold Crystal Pyramids' and turn the sun into a powerful weapon!"
Wuying Qi said, "Do you remember the legend that the Supreme Emperor and his strongest clone, the Blood God, fought so hard on the capital planet that the capital planet was almost blown into halves in half in the myths of the rise of the civilization of mankind ten thousand years ago?
"As a matter of fact, the Supreme Emperor and the Blood God each commanded billions of troops in thousands of Sectors. How could they fight each other in a one-on-one battle? However strong they were, it was impossible for them to decide the outcome of a space war or the fate of the universe!
"The truth was that the Supreme Emperor and the Blood God did run into each other below the capital planet with their elites, but it was not a stupid one-on-one battle. Both of them were looking for the 'Gold Crystal Pyramid' that had sunk deep below the capital planet.
"The Supreme Emperor received three volumes of the Book of Revelation on his rise. One of them recorded the ways to utilize and activate the energy of the stars. It also seemed to contain part of the coordinates and manipulations of the Gold Crystal Pyramid. It was like a 'key'.
"As the Supreme Emperor's clone, the Blood God shared part of the Supreme Emperor's memories. Naturally, he knew the secrets of the 'Gold Crystal Pyramid' too.
"Both the Supreme Emperor and the Blood God believed that the 'Gold Crystal Pyramid' deep inside the capital planet was the most important one in the 'solar defense line' that the Houyi Clan established in the past. Therefore, it must've had the most complete defense and maintenance facilities. Even if all the other Gold Crystal Pyramids had been corrupted by time, this one would've remained intact.
"As long as they discovered the Gold Crystal Pyramid, they would be able to manipulate the sun of the Empyreal Terminus Sector to some extent.
"At that time, the fleets loyal to the Supreme Emperor and the rebels loyal to the Blood God were gathered in the Empyreal Terminus Sector for the ultimate war that would decide the future of mankind. The situation was almost exactly the same as what is happening in the capital today. Whoever triggered a controllable minor solar storm was likely to win the war!
"That was why they led their elite squads to excavate the Gold Crystal Pyramid when thousands of starships were entangled in the sea of stars.
"It's a pity that the Supreme Emperor and the Blood God were truly the same person. They thought of the same thing. The elite squads of the two parties ran into each other unexpectedly below the ground and engaged in a fierce battle. In the end, not only were the elite squads killed, but the commanders of the two parties were also heavily wounded. It also triggered a tectonic shift on the capital planet. Indescribable energy burst out from below the ground, almost keeping the Supreme Emperor and the Blood God underground forever. That's exactly why the 'capital planet' was almost blown up by the two experts.
"After the two commanders escaped from the underground, they lost the ability to command the battle or to excavate the Gold Crystal Pyramid again.
"Until the collapse of the Star Ocean Imperium, the Gold Crystal Pyramid, the controller of the sun hidden deep inside the capital planet, was never discovered.
"As for me … Marquis Liaohai, you know that the incomplete Book of Revelation that I accidentally found after staying in the Supreme Emperor's mausoleum for hundreds of years contained the Supreme Emperor's regretful soul mark. It described the environment and geological parameters that he encountered when he explored the Gold Crystal Pyramid. He was very certain that his and the Blood God's exploration team were very close to the Gold Crystal Pyramid. It was safe to say that whoever could've excavated for a few more days without being disturbed would've likely touched the key to the sun. It was a pity that they ran into each other in such an environment. It was truly a pity that they ran into each other in such an environment.
"Marquis Liaohai, you know what happened later. After I returned to the Imperium, I tried my best to accumulate my strength and plan to reform the Imperium. At first, I had to pretend to be the queen of the Imperium, and I was constrained in many ways. Naturally, it was impossible for me to excavate the capital planet on a large scale. However, after we occupied the entire capital planet openly, I was able to take the risk. Perhaps because of the Supreme Emperor's blessing, I successfully excavated the Gold Crystal Pyramid!"
Although he had foreseen the result, Lei Chenghu still exclaimed after hearing that. He said, "No wonder Li Yao told me that he saw Your Majesty's Imperial Guards excavating an enormous hollow below the capital planet. So, it was the Gold Crystal Pyramid."
"What?"
This time, even Wuying Qi, who was unfazed by the collapse of a star, was surprised. His eyes and lips trembling, he blurted out, "Li Yao even knows that!"
Realizing that he lost his cool, Wuying Qi took a deep breath and regained his calmness. He said casually, "Yes, it was the Gold Crystal Pyramid. Now, Marquis Liaohai, you should know that I didn't lie to you and shared all the secrets with you, right? Humph, that bastard Li Yao, gauging the heart of a gentleman with the yardstick of a villain. Does he think that by doing this, he can sow discord between us as ruler and subject? How hilarious! "
While talking, Wuying Qi suddenly thought of something. His face changed subtly again, and anxiety popped up in his eyes.
Lei Chenghu coughed awkwardly and said, "Your Majesty, you can't trust me more than anything. Of course, I can't repay Your Majesty's kindness. However, the Gold Crystal Pyramid is a piece of stellar magical equipment from hundreds of thousands of years ago after all, and it was designed and built by the Houyi Clan. It must be very different from the usage of human beings. Can it really carry out infinite power in Your Majesty's hands?"
"The Gold Crystal Pyramid has naturally been damaged after hundreds of thousands of years. The Book of Revelation that is used to control the Gold Crystal Pyramid is also incomplete and mottled. Even the Supreme Emperor didn't understand ten or twenty percent of its mysteries. It's even more impossible for me to completely grasp it after only a few hundred years."
Wuying Qi smiled and said, "Thankfully, the enemies that we are dealing with this time are not as tricky as the Nuwa Clan or the Kuafu Clan. They are just enemies who are not used to the intense radiation like us.
