Li Linghai's voice was so deafening that even the deaf could hear it.
Although the experts of the three forces were already past the age of hot-bloodedness, and they knew that Li Linghai's instigation had her own purpose, they were still thrilled by her words.
Yes. Expanding the territory, demolishing the mountains, and fighting for a vaster living space for their compatriots with the blades in their hands were the most sacred missions and the most glorious glories for the Cultivators, the Immortal Cultivators, or any other intelligent life.
Besides, Li Linghai was straightforward enough that there was no room for argument.
Right now, the Imperium, the Federation, and the Holy League were all in the special phase of exhaustion and rest because of a series of coincidences. That was why the fragile peace could be maintained.
But even Li Yao, nobody could guarantee that the peace would last for a thousand years or even a hundred years.
The hostility between the Cultivators and the Immortal Cultivators, the wariness of the carbon-based intelligent life for the information lives … There were too many contradictions that were like spluttering sparks that could ignite an uncontrollable fire at any moment.
In order to resolve the contradictions and solve the problem of limited resources, the only way was to march to the extraterrestrial domain, crack the mysteries of the black wall, and deepen their understanding and friendship with blood and courage in a protracted expedition. Only then could the civilization of mankind be completely united.
It was destined to be a dangerous path with little hope.
But it was much better than waiting to be killed and watching all the resources dwindle day by day before everybody fought each other.
"What do you think?"
With lightning sparks beaming out of her eyes, Li Linghai glanced at Li Yao, Ding Lingdang, and the rest of them before she declared resolutely, "Every debt has its perpetrator. The Fuxi fleet has caused serious damage to the capital, and there is no reason for it to be written off. Although the Fuxi fleet has been shattered, Lu Qingchen has swallowed most of its data pieces and is sort of its heir. Then, the Imperium will certainly catch the culprit and make him pay a devastating price!
"Besides, we will certainly unravel the secrets of the Supreme Emperor's mausoleum and the black curtain. We believe that it is the only way to ensure the eternal peace within the civilization of mankind. Let us unleash all our fury, cruelty, and cruelty on the alien species beyond the black wall and fight for our common glory, the glory of the Pangu Universe!
"The Supreme Emperor's mausoleum contains a lot of mysteries and dangers that the Imperium alone may not be able to explore fully. That is why I am inviting the Federation, the Holy League, and the magnates of the entire universe to participate in the operation with 120% sincerity.
"However, even if you refuse to take the risk with the Immortal Cultivators after careful consideration, it will not affect our determination. The Immortal Cultivators will hunt and explore on their own. Whatever the consequences may be, we … can only press forward!"
Li Linghai gave the choice to the Federation and the Holy League.
But in fact, nobody, including Li Linghai, had a choice.
Leaving the Supreme Emperor's mausoleum unattended and allowing the Imperium to hunt and explore on their own would be the same as allowing Lu Qingchen to do whatever he wanted.
If the operation went well, and the Imperium captured Lu Qingchen and figured out the secrets of the black wall, or if it was not enough, an intact super fleet was excavated from the relics. In that case, the tiny strategic advantage that the Federation and the Holy League had gained after a long time would be gone. They would be meat on the chopping board again, completely at the mercy of the Imperium.
If the operation did not go well, and the Imperium awakened the infuriated Pangu and the mysterious Flood Legion, the consequences would be even more dire.
Therefore, the Federation and the Holy League had only one choice, which was to participate in the unprecedented, life-threatening capture and exploration together with the Imperium.
"Lu Qingchen is a member of the Federation. Also, he seriously violated the law before he left the Federation and owed a debt of blood. The Federation has never stopped hunting him."
Ding Ling Dong said solemnly, "The Xing Yao Federation will not allow such a dangerous wanted criminal to fall into the hands of other people. The Federation will gather the best teams to participate in the exploration."
"Lu Qingchen stole tremendous secrets of the Holy League, including the five Supreme Fortresses, before he fled to the depths of the universe."
Xiaoming and Wenwen said at the same time, "Of course, we will participate in the hunt and exploration, too, and take back what belongs to the Holy League!"
"Very good."
The response of the two forces was within Li Linghai's expectation. Without wasting any time, she immediately entered the details of the negotiation.
First of all, the coordinates of the entrance to the Supreme Emperor's mausoleum, the Divine Mausoleum, and the Black Mausoleum.
The Supreme Emperor's mausoleum, which was also known as the Empyreal Transcendence Sector, was theoretically a very special world fragment, or a "World Fragment".
It was special because it was not closely connected to the three-dimensional universe. Like a ghost island in the surging tides, it was only visible now and then. One could only find it with very precise calculations or very good luck.
Li Linghai had once given a more powerful example. It was like crumpling a piece of paper into a ball, drawing a circle on the ball, and then unrolling the ball, only to discover that the circle had long been broken into irregular black spots and ink spots. Those black spots and ink spots were the trajectories of the Empyreal Transcendence Sector. How could one grasp the pattern of its appearance?
Therefore, even Li Linghai himself had failed to find the entrance to the Empyreal Transcendence Sector after he left the Empyreal Transcendence Sector more than ten years ago. It was not until Li Linghai became the leader of the reformists and conquered the capital that the most mysterious relic in the legends surfaced again with the super crystal processors in the capital.
However, the location where it "surfaced" this time was not very good.
It was in the middle of two nebulas.
The so-called nebula was one of the most common celestial bodies in the universe other than stars, planets, and other dense celestial bodies.
Regular nebulas were made of hydrogen, dust, and radiation. The density was very low. The total mass of a nebula that was dozens of lightyears in diameter was no more than ten stars. Many places inside the nebula were almost "vacuum".
Such nebulas were not dangerous at all. Even if a starship accidentally broke into the nebula, it would only cause some interference to the exploration range and the communication with each other. They would have to pay attention to the wear and tear of the spiritual shield and the power units.
However, the forms and causes of nebulas varied. Some nebulas were highly dangerous.
The "relic nebula" was one of them.
Such a nebula was formed by tremendous materials and radiation ejected by a supernova explosion. A supernova explosion was almost the most spectacular astronomical phenomenon in the universe with the most intense energy output. Even though the explosion lasted only one moment, the consequences would still be seen billions of years later, which was the "relic nebula".
Such a nebula was like a raging flood and a turbulent swirl, filled with the high-energy particles, the powerful radiation, and even the stone belts spurted out by the supernova explosion. More critically, if the supernova explosion was massive enough, a neutron star would be left at the core of the "relic nebula".
The neutron star with high gravity and density was one of the most dreadful traps in the universe other than black holes. It would be very troublesome if one accidentally jumped into the gravity circle of the neutron star.
However, on the other hand, the abundant energy and materials stored in the relic nebula were the source of nourishment for everything. Many galaxies close to the relic nebula had received selfless gifts and become hotbeds for intelligent lives. After the intelligent lives grasped the ability to travel in space, they liked to look for the relic nebula as a new foothold, too. At the very least, they would establish important bases, weapon factories, and laboratories with the energy of the relic nebula and the neutron star.
The "Kunlun relic", the first pot of gold on the rise of the Xing Yao Federation, was established inside a crab relic nebula, which relied on a pulsing neutron star to provide incessant energy.
The "Martial Meritocrats Sector", the birthplace of the Imperium of True Human Beings, as well as the "Sand Primitive Sector", and several other Sectors, were all near the dazzling nebula of the Devilish Scorpion Sector. The radiation and materials that surged out of the nebula not only nurtured the creatures of the few Sectors but also provided an important opportunity for Li Yao to break into the Divinity Transformation Stage.
Then, it was not surprising that there was a relic nebula on the trajectory of the "Empyrean Transcendence Sector".
What was surprising was that there was not just one relic nebula but two!
The two massive stars that were right next to each other passed their youth and prime years at the same time and entered their twilight years helplessly. After the internal decay and the most violent reactions stopped, they expanded nonstop, and they shone brighter and brighter. In the end, in the most brilliant explosion, tremendous light, heat, and materials spurted out, leaving intense colors in the dark, boundless universe. One stroke — no, two strokes — turned into two colorful, raging relic nebulas and two neutron stars.
It was a rarely-seen astronomical phenomenon that could almost be called a wonder of the universe.
However, the universe was a vast place, and the number of stars was truly astronomical. Even if the odds were one in a billion, it would certainly happen in the eternity of time and infinite space.
The two stars were originally about 7.5 lightyears away from each other. They belonged to two stellar systems that did not interfere with each other.
However, when they turned into two relic nebulas after the supernova explosion, the diameter of the nebulas expanded to dozens of lightyears all of a sudden. Then, they inevitably collided, entangled, conflicted, swallowed, annihilated, and exploded again.
It was like throwing two crystal bombs that were embedded with destructive shrapnel into the same room. When the two bombs exploded at the same time, the damage and the blast would collide. It was almost impossible to estimate how terrifying the damage would be.
