The so-called Supreme Emperor's mausoleum was probably not created by the Supreme Emperor but modified with an enormous primeval relic. Such speculation was not a secret among the three forces and the magnates in the Pangu universe today.
The primeval relic that the Supreme Emperor used as a mausoleum, on the other hand, was probably the largest one of all the primeval relics with the most treasures and the most advanced technologies. It even involved the mysteries of the four-dimensional space and was the resting place of countless Pangu people. Therefore, it was also known as the Divine Mausoleum.
Naturally, tremendous marvelous weapons from the primeval era must've been sealed inside the Divine Mausoleum. There might've even been a fully-armed fleet of the Pangu. For example, there might've been dozens of starships like 'Kunlun', the most advanced starship of the Xing Yao Federation.
If that was the case, it was not strange that 'Fuxi', as a super artificial intelligence in the primeval era, considered the Supreme Emperor's mausoleum as a target that he was determined to get.
"Although there is not much evidence to support the speculation, it explains Fuxi's strategic purpose very well."
Li Linghai looked around and analyzed further. "Otherwise, it would've been hard to explain why Fuxi gathered all the elites of the Holy League and attacked the Empyreal Terminus Sector, as if they were trying to finish the war in one battle."
Yes. The war between two superpowers in the vast sea of stars could not be decided by a single battle.
It was actually wrong to say that 'the capital planet of the Empyrean Terminus Sector' was the heart of the Imperium because the Imperium was too large. Many Sectors were scattered all over the place, and many of them were self-sufficient. If one were to make an example of a 'heart', the Imperium had more than ten hearts, and the Empyrean Terminus Sector was only the largest of them all.
In the worst-case scenario, even if Fuxi secured a complete victory in the surprise attack and completely occupied or even destroyed the Empyreal Terminus Sector, so what? Could the entire Imperium surrender or even collapse?
It was impossible.
The cruel social structure of the Holy League determined that both the Immortal Cultivators and most of the "hominoids" were their sworn enemies. Not just the fall of the capital, even if the Imperium lost half of its territory, the remaining half of the Sectors would not give up resistance. Neither the reformists nor the four Kurfürst families would raise a white flag against a bunch of cold puppets and fight bloody battles to the death.
However, Fuxi had devoted all the elites that the Holy League had accumulated for a thousand years to the assault on the capital. Even if they won the war with difficulty and suffered heavy losses, how could they deal with the protracted war of attrition to come?
It must be noted that the rear of the Covenant Alliance was already on the brink of collapse. Was Fuxi's entire strategy nothing more than to kill himself after he was satisfied?
It certainly did not make any sense.
Then, with the addition of the element of the Supreme Emperor's mausoleum, the deduction of Fuxi's strategic goal would be much more reasonable.
Perhaps, for Fuxi, the most important target was not the capital but the Supreme Emperor's Terminus Sector since the very beginning.
Fuxi only controlled part of the primeval crystal processors, and its database was incomplete. The coordinates of the Supreme Emperor's Terminus Sector had long been lost and could not be found at all.
Therefore, it planned the assault on the capital. On one hand, it was using the "carpet bombing" to cover the fact that it hacked Li Linghai's crystal processor to steal the secrets. On the other hand, it was also to stall the main force of the Imperium so that the Imperium would not have the time to bother about the Supreme Emperor's Terminus Sector.
In other words, the outcome of the battle in the capital was not so important. Even if the battle was rather heated, as long as Fuxi could find and open the Supreme Emperor's Terminus Sector and inherit all the legacies of the Pangu clan, including an intact primeval fleet, would anybody be a match for it?
Of course, Fuxi did not foresee that the Federation would send reinforcements all of a sudden, or that Li Yao and Lu Qingchen, two weirdos, would show up. It was quite a pity that they had been destroyed before their ambitions blossomed.
Although Fuxi had perished in the sea of stars, Lu Qingchen had inherited most of its memory pieces and databases. Therefore, he had learned the coordinates of the Supreme Emperor's Terminus Sector and the way to open it.
For Lu Qingchen, who had only five Supreme Fortresses left and was like a stray dog, the only possible choice for a desperate counterattack was naturally self-evident.
"So, Lu Qingchen has been searching for the Supreme Emperor's Terminus Sector?"
Ding Ling Dong asked for everybody. "Is there any proof?"
"Yes."
Li Linghai said, "About half a year ago, I vaguely calculated the possible entrances to the Supreme Emperor's Terminus Sector and sent unmanned surveillance warships to the few coordinates.
"However, a lot of data had not been calculated at that time. The range of the coordinates was too large for my surveillance warships to cover all of them. It was not until recently that I narrowed down the range and determined the final entrance to the tomb.
"Then, one of my surveillance warships detected traces of radiation similar to those left by the five Supreme Fortresses during their voyage. Soon after it sent the data back, it was destroyed."
While talking, Li Linghai transmitted the radiation trace data sent back by the surveillance warship to the crystal processors of all the experts.
The data had been analyzed and confirmed by the specialists of various parties. There was no doubt that it was from the five Supreme Fortresses of the Holy League.
"So, at this moment, while we are having the meeting, Lu Qingchen has probably entered the Supreme Emperor's Terminus Sector?"
Ding Ling Dong frowned harder and harder.
"It's hard to say."
Li Linghai explained, "The location of the entrance to the Supreme Emperor's Terminus Sector is very weird and dangerous. It is at the intersection of two nebulas, which is brimming with intense interstellar radiation, cosmic storms, and stone belts that are enshrouded by the storms. Even a fleet of the largest scale may be crushed at any moment after it enters.
"As for when the entrance to the Supreme Emperor's Terminus Sector will appear in the three-dimensional universe and how wide it will be opened, it is still unknown.
"Therefore, we are not sure how far Lu Qingchen has progressed and whether or not he has landed on the Supreme Emperor's Terminus Sector.
"The reason why I said that this is a catastrophe for the entire Pangu universe is not just because of that. What is more critical is Lu Qingchen's purpose."
"Lu Qingchen's purpose?"
Ding Ling Dong was slightly dazed. "Isn't he looking for the Supreme Emperor's legacy and even the Pangu fleet?"
"That makes sense, but it is not comprehensive."
Li Linghai took a deep breath and calmed himself down. With a bitter smile, he said, "Other than that, it is very likely that he is looking for a second Fuxi."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was stunned.
"What?"
Li Yao and Ding Ling Dong's pupils constricted at the same time. The two of them asked at the same time, "A second Fuxi? What do you mean? Wasn't there only one super artificial intelligence in the primeval era? Is there a second super artificial intelligence of the same model? And — and why is it in the Supreme Emperor's Terminus Sector? "
This time, Li Linghai did not answer but looked at Wenwen.
Under the astonished gazes of the crowd, Wenwen slowly walked out.
Although she still looked like a cute little girl, there was some of Wei Qingqing's sacred vibe on her pretty, pink face, if not 'inhuman'.
After spending half a year in the heartland of the Holy League, she was more and more like a real 'goddess'.
Everybody looked at Wenwen with complicated feelings.
Both the Cultivators and the Immortal Cultivators found it hard to accept such a brand-new life form. Their eyes were filled with wariness and wariness.
However, faced with the so-called 'catastrophe', they all wisely chose to remain silent and wait to hear what the information life was up to first.
"If you have a detailed understanding of the rise, expedition, civil war, and destruction of the Pangu civilization in the primeval era, you should know that since the great expedition out of the Pangu universe, there had been two super artificial intelligences named 'Fuxi' — no, split into two halves."
Wenwen introduced, "At that time, the Pangu civilization was scared of the multiverse and the ultimate Flood beyond the black wall, fearing that a larger-scale, more-advanced space fleet would be the source of disaster. Therefore, they intentionally sealed and 'castrated' themselves. Even the most advanced super artificial intelligence named 'Fuxi' was divided into two halves.
"One of them was still carrying out the tasks in the past dutifully and maintaining the operation of the entire Pangu civilization.
"The other half of Fuxi, on the other hand, was sent to a special place to study the mysteries of the black wall, the multiverse, the Flood Legion, and the Flood. The place was the base of the 'builder of the black wall' and the pivot that controlled the black wall. In many primeval classics, it was known as the 'Black Tomb'.
"Later, the half of the super artificial intelligence that was left outside was involved in the civil war of the Pangu civilization. It was bombarded by logic bombs by both parties in the civil war, which further mutated and triggered self-awareness. After hundreds of thousands of years of fermentation, it was awakened into the Fuxi that established the Holy League. You all know what happened to it.
"However, half of the Fuxi are still sealed inside the black mausoleum. They shouldn't have been affected by the random logic bombs and special commands. They are still standard 'weak artificial intelligences' and rather 'pure'."
Wenwen paused for a moment and looked around. She smiled and tapped her temples softly with her fingers.
"I spent a few months analyzing the data pieces left by the Fuxi and found some interesting information."
Wenwen said, "As it turned out, the half of Fuxi that was left outside and awakened their self-awareness craved the most to swallow the other half of Fuxi that was sent to the Black Tomb for research work.
"It was not strange. They were a whole in the first place and had been separated by someone. If they could be reunited and completely awakened their self-awareness, they would probably be the most perfect Fuxi.
"No wonder the Fuxi exploited the Holy League and launched a final battle without caring about the cost. It was true that the entire Holy League was insignificant compared to the other half of Fuxi.
