Li Yao had never seen such an expression on Long Yangjun's face before.
He found it hard to imagine that Long Yangjun, a primeval reincarnator who carried the heritage of both the Pangu and the Nuwa Goddess, would be so scared.
"Is it really as unbelievable as you say?"
Influenced by Long Yangjun, Li Yao grew anxious too. "Is such a super weapon so awesome?"
"It's not the Gold Crystal Pyramid that's awesome, but the sun. Neither human beings nor the Pangu civilization has figured out 1% of the mysteries of the sun. Infuriating the sun recklessly will be like playing with fire!"
Taking a deep breath, Long Yangjun said, her voice shivering, "It's always easy for a three-year-old to raise ripples when he picks up a tiny pebble and throws it into the pond. But can he control how many ripples are generated and how fast and how far the ripples spread? It's impossible, isn't it?
"Besides, it's not a 'pond' but the most ferocious magma pool!
"The mechanism of the Gold Crystal Pyramid is like throwing a pebble into the sun to trigger ripples. Once a chain reaction is triggered, the destructive ripples will spread out incessantly, and nobody can stop them!
"Don't think that just because I said that the active period of a star may last for a few hundred years, it is very long. You should know that the lifespan of a star is at least tens of billions of years. From the perspective of a star, the active period extends from a few months to a few hundred years. During this period, a slight increase in the energy output of a star by 1% is negligible.
"However, for the civilization that was born and prospered based on the star, such 'insignificant changes' are no less than a catastrophe!
"A 1% increase in the radiation of a star will vaporize the seawater of a habitable planet, the atmosphere will disappear, the oxygen and carbon dioxide content will change drastically, the magnetic field will be disrupted, and even the magnetism in the north and the south poles will be deviated. The ecosphere will be destroyed, and billions of creatures will die miserably!"
Li Yao was creeped out, not because of what Long Yangjun said, but because of the coldness in her voice.
After a long daze, he asked, "Did you just say that the Gold Crystal Pyramid was built by the Houyi Clan? How could the Houyi Clan build something so terrible that it could destroy itself? "
"Don't humans also have many super magical equipment that can destroy themselves?"
"It seems to be the common problem of all carbon-based intelligent lives. All carbon-based intelligent lives have the tendency of self-destruction. Furthermore, do you know how the Pangu Alliance defines' civilization 'and accepts new members?
"In the eyes of the Pangu, a carbon-based intelligent life form can only be called a 'civilization' if it can create a super weapon that can destroy itself."
Li Yao was silent.
Originally, he wanted to say that the definition of civilization was ridiculous, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that it was reasonable.
Weapons were the highest crystallization of a life form's wisdom, physical strength, logical thinking ability, social division of labor, and so on.
If an intelligent life created a weapon that could destroy itself, but was not destroyed by the weapon in the next few hundred years, and mastered the ability to control the self-destruction tendency, would that not be a mature and powerful civilization?
"At first, the Houyi Clan didn't realize that the Gold Crystal Pyramid was so powerful. Or rather, the specialists of the Houyi Clan were so arrogant that they thought that they had grasped the simple and clear energy model of the stars and that they could control every sun 100%."
Long Yangjun sighed and said, "Therefore, after the primeval war began, the Houyi Clan built a lot of Gold Crystal Pyramids in the three thousand Sectors.
"Of course, whether or not the Houyi Clan intended to expand their influence in the alliance with the super weapon such as the Gold Crystal Pyramid, or even replace the Pangu Clan as the leader one day, is a mystery that nobody knows for sure.
"The Houyi Clan was best known for their madness, brutality, and fearlessness in the alliance of Pangu civilizations. They originated from a life form that was similar to a moth but boasted a solar shell. 'Moths darting into the flame' was the belief in their genes.
"It's said that a long, long time ago, before the alliance of Pangu civilizations was established, the Houyi Clan and the Kuafu Clan fought a bloody battle over a few stars that could output energy stably. The Houyi Clan would rather destroy the stars that were precious to them than let the Kuafu Clan get them. That's indicative of the Houyi Clan's bravery and madness.
"Later, the Pangu civilization arrived and forced the Houyi Clan to surrender with their civilization thousands of years ahead. They accepted the mediation unwillingly, but in fact, they were suppressed and weakened by the Pangu Clan.
"Therefore, the Houyi Clan had always been prejudiced against the Kuafu Clan and the Pangu Clan. After the alliance was established, they challenged the authority of the Pangu Clan now and then. It's said that it was just hearsay.
"All in all, when the Gold Crystal Pyramids really demonstrated their power on the space battlefield, and the fire of destruction from the stars ravaged countless Sectors, both parties were deeply shocked by the power of the super weapon.
"The purpose of a war is to compete for resources and to subdue the enemy.
"However, the Gold Crystal Pyramids could destroy all the resources in a Sector and reduce both the enemy and the ally to smithereens. They could even lose all the value of a Sector in hundreds of years. What's the point of such a weapon even if it's' super '?
"At that time, it was still in the early years of the primeval war. Compared to the Nuwa Clan who was alone, the other twelve species in the Pangu alliance had great advantages and did not need to use such a terrifying super weapon.
"Besides, the lethality of such a super weapon was seriously inconsistent with the purpose of the Pangu alliance. We all know that the Pangu alliance's belief is to make use of every resource rationally so that the carbon-based lives can survive in this tiny universe as long as possible.
"However, the Gold Crystal Pyramids could completely destroy a Sector and an astronomical amount of resources after they were activated. Wasn't it the opposite of the original purpose of the Pangu civilization?
"Therefore, by the middle of the primeval war at the latest, most of the Gold Crystal Pyramids were either destroyed by the Nuwa Clan or dismantled by the Pangu Clan's alliance itself. A great purge against the zealots of the Houyi Clan was also carried out. Those who built the Gold Crystal Pyramids and intended to promote the Houyi Clan with the Gold Crystal Pyramids were all eliminated.
"It couldn't be helped. For the Pangu, such a super weapon was as threatening as the 'feelings' and 'tenebrum energy' that the Nuwa Clan brought. How could they tolerate it for a long time?
"All in all, by the end of the primeval war, when I fought in my previous life, few Gold Crystal Pyramids were left in the three thousand Sectors. In my previous life, I received a mission to destroy a Gold Crystal Pyramid. According to the intelligence, it was one of the last Gold Crystal Pyramids of the Pangu alliance. However, it was not until we reached the battle site that we learned that the Gold Crystal Pyramid was just an empty shell, and its insides had been dismantled by the Pangu.
"I didn't know that a Gold Crystal Pyramid had been buried so deeply below the ground of the capital planet. Also, it seemed to be intact and functioning at full capacity.
"Did it sink to the ground because of the changes in the past hundreds of thousands of years? No, judging from the structure of the cave, the Gold Crystal Pyramid did not seem to have sunk naturally but was buried deep below the ground on purpose. What was going on? The Gold Crystal Pyramid can't be activated unless it touches the sun directly! "
Long Yangjun frowned and thought for a reason.
"Although I don't have proof, based on what you said just now, let me take a guess."
Li Yao said, "Just now, you said that the Houyi Clan was a tough, tough, and even crazy species in the Pangu alliance, and that they wanted to replace the Pangu as the leader all the time. That was why some of the zealots of the Houyi Clan built the Gold Crystal Pyramids, ostensibly to deal with the Nuwa Clan, but in fact, they were aiming at the Pangu.
"After the Pangu realized that, whether they were scared of the power of the Gold Crystal Pyramids or wary of the Houyi Clan's ambitions, they destroyed most of the Gold Crystal Pyramids and crushed the ambitions of the zealots of the Houyi Clan.
"Then, it's easy to understand what happened next. In order to protect their secret weapon, the zealots of the Houyi Clan had to carefully bury the last few Gold Crystal Pyramids so that the Pangu wouldn't discover them. That was the greatest leverage for them to rise again and compete with the Pangu and the Nuwa Clan!
"The capital planet in the Empyreal Terminus Sector is a confluence of rivers and oceans with dense wormholes. It was of great military and political importance in the primeval war. It's not strange that the zealots of the Houyi Clan built and buried a Gold Crystal Pyramid here. I would've chosen this place if I were one of the zealots."
"If that's really the case —"
Alarmed, Long Yangjun said, "There must be some sort of 'automatic ascension' system below the Gold Crystal Pyramid to ensure that it can tear apart the crust and infuriate the sun when necessary!"
"That's right. If the Gold Crystal Pyramid is really the last resort of the zealots of the Houyi Clan, it must've been immeasurably powerful."
Li Yao said gloomily, "Then, the reason why the Supreme Emperor and the Blood God fought for the Gold Crystal Pyramid below the capital planet ten thousand years ago will be revealed. Perhaps the Supreme Emperor wanted to destroy the Gold Crystal Pyramid, and the Blood God intended to destroy the Star Ocean Imperium with the Gold Crystal Pyramid.
