"Competition of beliefs?"
Li Yao thought of something and asked, "So, the Supreme Emperor and the Blood God's war was not about the supreme power, was it?"
"Of course it was not just about the power."
Wuying Qi 3.0 smiled and said, "The Blood God's ambition and power couldn't have been supported by his desire for the highest power. Even the Supreme Emperor wouldn't have been able to suppress him. He would've been crushed by the Supreme Emperor easily the moment he raised the flag of rebellion.
"No, it was not about the power, at least not in the mortal world. It was about the insignificant power in the unbearably tiny universe, but the vast, unknown lands."
As Wuying Qi 3.0 explained, the blood clots that were rising and bouncing like fire above the blood pool suddenly expanded and covered the entire world. They then split into thousands of drops of blood, each of which turned into the appearance of a starship.
This was an unprecedented fleet formed from blood. It was the expeditionary army of the Blood God!
"When the Star Ocean Imperium was just established, and the standard 'form one human beings' reclaimed the universe and were sweeping the 'form two human beings', or the defeated demons, at the edge of the cosmos, the Blood God, as the commander-in-chief of the expedition army, did not covet the supreme power at all. He never thought of betraying the Supreme Emperor, his original self."
Wuying Qi said, "At that time, it was true that the remnants of the demon race who had been beaten up contacted him time and time again, trying to instigate a civil war in the Star Ocean Imperium between him and the Supreme Emperor. The demon race tempted him. As long as he could betray the Supreme Emperor, all the demons would listen to his command and become his most loyal subordinates.
"But he was not moved at all. He was a clone of the Supreme Emperor's most intense desire for slaughter and conquest in the first place. As long as he could explore new worlds, conquer new worlds, and kill all the enemies, his mind would be satisfied to the greatest extent. He enjoyed the process of slaughter and conquest, but he was not interested in ruling and power at all. There was really no need for him to play any tricks of betrayal.
"Just like that, the Blood God searched the worlds one by one, destroying one planet after another. Like a perfect killing machine, he found all the Form Two humans hiding in the cracks of the universe. He killed them one by one, not even sparing the embryos that had just been born. In this bloody massacre, he obtained great satisfaction, and his soul grew stronger and stronger.
"As the demons fled, the expedition army got further and further away from the Supreme Emperor's brilliance and entered the few darkest Sectors at the edge of the cosmos. Their supply line grew longer and longer, and the communication of the branch fleets was disrupted by cosmic storms now and then. The war gradually became less and less successful.
"The setbacks did not cause any trouble for the Blood God, but the items that he seized from the leadership of the demon race opened a … brand-new gate for him. He began to ponder the meaning of life, the meaning of war, and the meaning of civilization."
On the picture behind Wuying Qi 3.0, a man made of blood appeared. He was deep in thought, surrounded by countless jade chips.
Li Yao listened attentively and could not help but ask, "What is that?"
"It's about the origin of demons and their destiny," Wuying Qi said.
Wuying Qi 3.0 said, "Who am I, where am I from, and where am I going? Those are questions that even the Form Two human beings who call themselves' demons' want to know. In the Great Dark Age, the demons ruled the sea of stars. Naturally, they are interested in their origins. Almost every monarch of the demon dynasty has been searching for their origins tirelessly. Do you know the origins of the 'Chaos Water' that created the demons?"
"I know a thing or two."
Recalling the Federation's research results in the Kunlun relic, Li Yao pondered for a moment and said, "The demons forty thousand years ago were born in the hands of an ancient Cultivator named Ba Yanzhi in the Ultimate One Sect. It was Ba Yanzhi who found the Chaos Water that had been sealed for a long time. It was a mysterious black liquid that could activate the controllable mutations inside a human body and turn them into demons.
"However, Ba Yanzhi was merely the 'discoverer' of the Holy Water of Chaos, not the 'inventor'. The origin of the Holy Water of Chaos can be traced back to the primeval war hundreds of thousands of years ago. It was the Nuwa Clan who created the first batch of demons and enlisted them into a special troop named 'Lei Zhenzi'.
"That's right. Your knowledge is truly beyond my expectation. It seems that you're destined to be the master of the Gold Crystal Pyramid."
Wuying Qi 3.0 said with a smile, "In the primeval age hundreds of thousands of years ago, the thirteen carbon-based lives, for various purposes, either to create a perfect tool, to consolidate their alliance, or to store the tinder of their civilization. All in all, they condensed the essence of their genes and created 'human beings', a brand-new species.
"The chief designer of 'human beings' was the Nuwa Clan.
"Of course, human beings at the beginning were not what we are today. At that time, the essences of the thirteen carbon-based lives had just been melted, and the most perfect form of the gene strands had not been found yet. Therefore, countless bizarre 'experimental human beings' were born, including the demons that we are familiar with today. Many of the terrifying beings that we consider alien species in space are such abnormal 'experimental human beings'. They are the failed versions of us before.
"In the end, the genetic engineers and life designers of the Nuwa Clan, after thousands of failures, finally created two relatively successful models of human beings.
"The first form of human beings hid most of the genes of the primeval species in the deepest part of their gene strands. They didn't reveal much of their abilities, and their combat ability was close to zero. However, they consumed the least amount of resources. Even in the areas without any spiritual energy, they could live a healthy life for almost a hundred years as long as there was air, food, and water, and they could spread their genes.
"Once the seemingly plain first form of human beings were projected into an environment with abundant spiritual energy, they could activate the greatest potential in their body and reach the level of the primeval experts through all kinds of training.
"It's like some sort of … spore. It can switch freely between an oxygenated environment and an oxygenated one, and it has the feature of surviving for a long time in the 'spiritless area'. It's impossible for the primeval species who can't survive without spiritual energy. Therefore, it is a very successful basic model, which is also our predecessor.
"After completing the design of the basic model, the Nuwa Clan went one step further and designed an upgraded model that could survive in the extreme lack of resources and even display powerful combat ability. That was the second form of human beings — the Demon Clan.
"This time, the Nuwa Clan's design wasn't completely successful. The second form of human beings focused too much on the development of their physical bodies, which suppressed their potential and made their gene strands extremely unstable. During the process of gene transmission, there were often malignant mutations. Obviously, they weren't suitable as the mainstream model for long-term reproduction.
"However, compared to the other more bizarre failed versions, the second form of human beings' flaws were tolerable. Especially on the battlefield, the second form of human beings didn't need much training to display powerful combat ability, which made them better basic soldiers than the first form of human beings. When the war between the Nuwa Clan and the Pangu Clan broke out, the Nuwa Clan produced a large number of second form humans to act as their own assault team. The 'Lei Zhenzi' that you mentioned was a very famous special force that was completely made up of second form humans.
"The reason why I said so many seemingly unrelated things is to tell you that compared to us — the standard first form humans — the second form humans of the Demon Clan were closer to the Nuwa Clan. Therefore, the higher-ups of the Demon Clan used thirty thousand years to collect countless secrets about the Nuwa Clan, which eventually fell into the hands of the Blood God.
"After the Blood God read the legacies from the Nuwa Clan, including the broken pieces that used to be known as the 'Book of Revelation', he finally learned the truth of the universe, or in your words, the multiverse."
Taking a deep breath, Li Yao said cautiously, "The Blood God finally learned that there was a universe beyond the universe, and that there was an endless black wall beyond the three thousand Sectors. However, as long as we crossed the black wall, we would arrive at the unknown, brilliant, and infinite universe. Is that the direction of our civilization?"
"Yes."
Wuying Qi 3.0 said, "That was also why the Nuwa Clan declared war on the Pangu Clan in the past. The Nuwa Clan wanted to break out, and the Pangu Clan wanted to stay here and wait for at least tens of millions of years. The war destroyed the primeval civilizations, but it did not destroy the Nuwa Clan's ambition to break out. The ambition wandered and wandered until it was deeply embedded in the Blood God's chest.
"That's not all. After receiving the legacies of the Nuwa Clan and uncovering the truth of the universe, the Blood God also heard the summons of the extraterrestrial devils.
"As we said just now, the so-called 'extraterrestrial devils' were the last words of the destroyed civilizations beyond the black wall. They either contained their most precious technology, their greatest ambitions, or their infinite fury and desire for revenge. Those things all crawled into the Blood God's head and shouted at him all the time, 'Come out. This is the home of all civilizations', 'Move forward to the grand universe', and 'All our treasures are here. Come and take them. Come and conquer them. As long as you have the courage to cross the black wall, all the treasures will be yours. The treasures of countless civilizations will be the civilization of mankind'!
"For regular Cultivators, their souls are too weak and their level is too low to understand the information hidden deep inside the extraterrestrial devils. They either go crazy or simply kill them as' devils'.
