"I believe I don't need to tell you how dreadful the Flood Legion was, right?"
Li Linghai said, "The Pangu civilization at its peak sent out a magnificent, dominating expedition fleet with the essence of the entire civilization. However, they encountered a Flood Legion soon after they left the Pangu universe. Although they managed to defeat the enemy, they were greatly intimidated by the multiverse.
"We are not even sure whether or not the Flood Legion rose again in the thousands of years that followed and played a critical role in the civil war of the Pangu civilization.
"All in all, whatever we call the relic, the Supreme Emperor's mausoleum, the Divine Mausoleum, or the Black Mausoleum, it is the most dangerous place in the entire Pangu universe.
"In the past thousand years, the place has been sealed. Even Blackstar the Great failed to break the barriers set up by the Supreme Emperor and enter the most critical mausoleum or treasury.
"However, Lu Qingchen has the data pieces and control permissions of Fuxi. He also has five indestructible Supreme Battle Fortresses. Now that he is desperate and insane, nobody can predict what he will do. He is capable of doing anything.
"If we don't stop him, and he does break into the deepest part of the Divine Mausoleum, there will be three worst possibilities.
"Firstly, Lu Qingchen swallowed the other half of Fuxi successfully. His computational ability was greatly improved, and he grasped the super magical equipment and fleets left by the Supreme Emperor, the Pangu civilization, and even the builders of the black wall. He broke out of seclusion in the most aggressive way and launched the most terrifying revenge on the Imperium, the Federation, and the Holy League!
"However, it is unlikely that he received the legacies successfully. It is more likely that he screwed up and accidentally activated the system that had been sealed for a long time, waking up the Pangu that had hibernated for hundreds of thousands of years.
"Yes, it is well known that 'Vulture Li Yao', the ultimate expert among us, once killed a Pangu who was revived in the Kunlun relic. However, the Kunlun relic was not an intact relic. The Pangu was not an ultimate expert in the first place, and he had lost too much strength during the long hibernation. His combat ability was greatly reduced.
"Who knows how many ultimate Pangu experts are in the Divine Mausoleum, and what unparalleled techniques and marvelous weapons they have? I believe that the Pangu in the Black Mausoleum are a hundred times trickier to deal with than the Pangu in the Kunlun relic.
"If a hundred or even a thousand top experts of the Pangu Clan are resurrected and mean us the most, and they have received confidential intelligence about us from Lu Qingchen's brain, how are we going to resist them?
"But that is still not the worst possibility.
"In the worst possibility, Lu Qingchen will not only wake up the Pangu but also the Flood Tide Army that has been tortured and studied in the depths of the Divine Mausoleum. Who knows what kind of terrifying and weird life form the Flood Tide Army is, and whether or not they are completely dead after hundreds of thousands of years? It must be noted that they do not need to gather an army to attack us at all. As long as they send the coordinates of the Pangu universe and the intelligence from Lu Qingchen's brain to the depths of the multiverse and summon the real Flood, we will be screwed. Completely screwed! "
Li Linghai's conclusion was rather appalling.
But none of the experts dared to blame her for praising other people and demoralizing herself.
Although they had not seen the Flood and the Flood Tide Army with their own eyes, judging from the Pangu civilization's reverence for the maker of the black wall and the maker of the black wall's fear of the Flood, they knew that it was far from a force that the civilization of mankind could resist at this moment.
The arrival of the Flood was no different from the arrival of doomsday. They had no choice but to hold their breath and hide.
But right now, even "hiding" had become an impossible option. Considering Lu Qingchen's situation and craziness, he would not care about the dangers in the depths of the Godly Mausoleum at all. He would certainly try his best to take the risk.
"Now, you should understand why I call this a 'catastrophe' for the Pangu universe, shouldn't you?"
Li Linghai was well-versed in the mysteries of psychology. Seeing that the atmosphere in the meeting room was somewhat gloomy, she seized the opportunity and said, "However, speaking of which, there is also a turning point in the crisis. Before, there were still a lot of hesitations and disputes about whether or not to develop the Supreme Emperor's mausoleum on a large scale. All the concerns were very reasonable, and nobody dared to act recklessly.
"Right now, Lu Qingchen has helped us take the first step. We have no choice but to press forward bravely. When two enemies meet on a narrow path, the braver one wins!
"Do you know what the greatest gain will be if we figure out the secrets of the Supreme Emperor's mausoleum, the Divine Mausoleum, and the switches to control the black wall?
"No. Not just the secret treasures left by the Supreme Emperor, the Pangu civilization, and the creator of the black wall. Although those things are important, they do not have a breakthrough effect on the fundamental solution of the dilemma of the civilization of mankind.
"The real gain will be that we will be able to shut down or partially shut down the 'black wall', which will give us a living space that is hundreds, thousands, and tens of thousands of times vaster and more abundant than right now!
"Don't you understand? Around the Pangu universe, the seemingly empty and boundless black space zone was not really empty. Instead, it was full of abundant and vigorous galaxies, but the creator of the black wall tried to cover them up.
"I don't know why the creator of the black wall did that. Perhaps it was to cover the existence of the Pangu universe and prevent the Flood from finding us. But it is more likely that it is the 'legacy' of a certain civilization billions of years in the future that the creator of the black wall left for his offspring. Only the civilization that cracks the technology of the black wall will be qualified to receive the gifts of the stars in the universe and the three million Sectors!"
After hearing that, all the experts' eyes were beaming with brilliance.
Yes. Right now, all the experts had learned that the so-called 'insurmountable' barrier around the Pangu universe was not really a barren land but had been covered by the ancient civilization with marvelous methods to prevent the intelligent lives of the Pangu universe from finding it.
Perhaps this was a test, perhaps a form of protection, or perhaps a form of punishment.
However, regardless of whether it was a test, a protection, or a punishment, the civilization of mankind was unwilling to spend the most brilliant years of the civilization in mediocrity while crouching in the tiny 'eggshells' and 'cocoons'!
No matter how dangerous the road ahead was, how terrifying the Flood was, and how unpredictable the multiverse and the higher dimensions were, the civilization of mankind had to blow the horn of charge and march to the grand universe without any hesitation. Like moths darting toward a fire, they were seeking for the real meaning in the moment of life and death!
"I am not a merciful man who is willing to share. If anything, I am very selfish. For the future of the Imperium of True Human Beings, I do not care about sacrificing anybody."
Li Linghai looked around and glanced at the experts of the Federation, the Holy League, and the Immortal Cultivators under his command. He said solemnly, "To be honest, if it is in the Imperium's favor, I do not mind waging a war against the Federation and the Holy League again.
"However, it is a pity that even if the Imperium completely destroys the Holy League and the Federation, it cannot resolve the chronic disease that haunts the veins and nerves of the Imperium, which is the irreconcilable contradiction between the rapid development of the civilization and the scarcity of resources.
"Both the Holy League and the Federation are at the edge of the known universe of Pangu. Your resources are not abundant, either. You are also caught in the dilemma of running out of resources. Even if the Imperium conquers your remote and barren planets at a devastating price, so what? How many resources can be exploited from you? Chances are that they are not even enough to make up for the consumption of the war, right?
"By the same logic, I know what the Cultivators are up to. You are trying to change the social form and the leadership of the Imperium without knowing it so that you can maximize the utilization efficiency of resources with your operation model. However, even the cleverest housewife cannot cook a meal without rice. Even if your path does work and the utilization efficiency of resources increases from '80%' to '100%', so what? The resources will run out sooner or later.
"As the resources dwindle, the Imperium, the Federation, and even the Holy League will gradually collapse. Nobody can stop the inevitable doom. Even if we can gather here today and cross our differences with the greatest understanding and kindness, I don't believe that the Cultivators, the Immortal Cultivators, and the people of the Holy League will not be at each other's throats when the total resources of the Pangu universe are reduced to one tenth of what they are right now.
"Let me say it again. I am not scared of a confrontation with anybody. The problem is, even if we can annihilate all the Cultivators and the people of the Holy League, it will only delay our doom by one second or two. What's the point of that?"
She was not just talking to the people of the Federation and the Holy League. She was also explaining why she suddenly became so 'gentle' and 'generous' and why she was willing to share the secrets of the highest level with the Immortal Cultivators.
She was also warning the disobedient and restless Immortal Cultivators under her command that they were all fish in the same pot. The most important thing right now was to break out of the pot that was getting hotter and hotter and swim to the boundless ocean instead of devouring other fish.
"If you do not want to start a new war because of the shortage of resources in decades, just summon all your courage and explore the Supreme Emperor's mausoleum, the godly mausoleum, and the black mausoleum!"
