"Hundreds of civilizations have been gathered in this place?"
Li Yao was greatly alarmed. He felt that his head was humming. The mysteriousness and complexity of the primeval relics had been increased by a hundred times.
"Is it very strange?"
Lu Qingchen did not think it was a big deal. "Any civilization that developed to the point where they controlled the entire Pangu universe would've likely discovered the primeval relics, wouldn't they? Once they discovered the mysteries of the 'black-wall maker', naturally, they would gather the best specialists, scholars, warriors, and explorers of the entire civilization, together with the cutting-edge weapons, tools, magical equipment, and crystal processors, and try to crack the mysteries! It's a pity that countless generations of civilizations failed to crack the mysteries of the primeval relics, including the Pangu civilization.
"Although the mysteries of the 'black-wall maker' are hard to crack, the technology and thinking of the civilizations in the past billions of years are not much different from that of the Pangu civilization and the civilization of mankind. After all, they are all intelligent lives born in the Pangu universe. No matter how strange their biological structure and social form are, they are limited. Chances are that they are related to each other in thousands of ways.
"Therefore, before the Pangu civilization cracked the mysteries of the 'black-wall maker', they cracked the cutting-edge technology and weapons left by the previous civilizations, including the 'space knights'. It's very reasonable, isn't it?
"In the City of Silver, such things can be found everywhere. I can't tell if it's because the Guardians were driven into a corner and were desperate enough to release these steel behemoths for experiments, or if it's because the control center was destroyed and they escaped on their own."
Li Yao scanned carefully and discovered that the big guy that Lu Qingchen called 'space knight' was indeed very different from the few common styles of the Pangu civilization in terms of the style of production and the runes carved on the surface.
The dense gears, bearings, and levers that were revealed after the shell was corroded by acid were also as precise and complicated as the nerves, muscles, and bones of a living creature. It was beyond imagination.
It was obvious that the space knights were rather crude in terms of the technology to transform crystals into spiritual energy, and the waste of spiritual energy was very serious. Therefore, all kinds of colorful and domineering sound and visual effects were dancing around their mountain-like bodies. They were almost like colorful steam.
However, they were far better than the Pangu civilization and the civilization of mankind in the fields of metal smelting and mechanical transmission. They could even refine metals to the extent that they were as soft and tensile as muscle fibers.
Similar to the civilization of mankind, the Pangu civilization had invented all kinds of destructive magical equipment, but in fact, they focused on individual training and emphasized the cells to directly absorb, transform, and release spiritual energy. The tools were only ancillary, and the magical equipment helped the fleshly body to increase the strength.
The creator of the 'space knight' was obviously a 'mechanical civilization'............................
.. of the Pangu...... there...
Therefore, Lu Qingchen was not lying. He was just …
"Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
Looking at the 'space knight' that was rushing above his head, Li Yao wondered if it would sit down and crush him into a meat pie. "How many more things are you keeping from me?"
"Given the urgency of the situation, it's more important to seize every second to get down to business. You didn't ask me anything. How can I have the time to talk about the unimportant things?"
Lu Qingchen said innocently. "Should I make a pot of tea and talk to you about everything when the tide of ferocious beasts is coming at us from all directions?
"Besides, I don't know the details of the hundred civilizations that perished a long time ago. I only speculated from the few words in the Fuxi's database that their demise was probably related to the primeval relics and the creator of the black wall."
"What do you mean?"
Li Yao bulged his eyes. "Do you have any evidence?"
"None. But don't you find it odd? At least billions of years have passed since the Pangu universe was completely enshrouded by the 'creator of the black wall'. Hundreds of generations of powerful civilizations were born inside the black wall, at least strong enough to travel in space and discover the entrance to the primeval relics, "Lu Qingchen said.
"But those primeval civilizations have all gone extinct. They have been completely and utterly annihilated without leaving anything behind. The Pangu civilization of the previous generation, too, started from scratch with bacteria, sea creatures, amphibians, reptiles, and so on.
"At the very least, judging from the classics of the Pangu civilization that we have collected, they did not know much about their 'parent civilization'. They were not born in a laboratory like us but evolved naturally. Therefore, they did not have a clear concept of 'parent civilization'. They only vaguely knew that their birth was related to the creator of the black wall billions of years ago. The 'blood relationship' is too thin.
"But it doesn't make sense.
"Billions of years, hundreds of generations of civilizations that boasted the ability to travel in space. Did none of them have the ability to leave their legacy? Did none of them try to preserve their tinder? Did none of them prosper for more than ten million years?
"Why did they perish exactly? Even if they perished, they should've left something behind, shouldn't they? How could they have been obliterated into smithereens without leaving anything behind?
"It does not look like a natural extinction but more like a man-made restart. It is very likely that the entire civilization was erased in the blink of an eye.
"What about the Pangu civilization? As you can see, they stopped the exploration of the primeval relics in time before they reached the last step and froze the entire primeval relics. Therefore, the 'destruction and restart' of the Pangu civilization were not complete. Although the Pangu and the Nuwa Clan outside were all wiped out, there were still a few fish that escaped the net in this place.
"However, with the awakening of the primeval relics, it seems that the few fish that escaped the net will not live for long. The Pangu civilization did not escape the fate of a hundred ancient civilizations after all. It will be completely erased and 'restarted', too!"
Lu Qingchen's words reminded Li Yao of Long Yangjun's message for some reason.
"It is alive. It has woken up!"
At first, Li Yao thought that the 'it' that Long Yangjun was talking about was the Pangu.
But judging from the situation right now, the truth seemed to be a hundred times scarier.
"You seem to be implying something."
Li Yao mumbled, "What are you trying to say exactly?"
"Nothing. I'm just curious."
Lu Qingchen smiled and said, "Assuming that there is something similar to … 'self-awareness' in the primeval relics, are the Pangu civilization and the civilization of mankind the same civilization in its evaluation criteria? If it is going to 'restart' the entire Pangu universe for a certain reason, is the civilization of mankind within the range of its' restart '? "
Li Yao pondered for a long time because of the question.
Then, he shuddered coldly.
Boom!
Above their heads, a thick and short cannon extended out of the chest of the "space knight" and shot out thousands of pieces of marrow crystals, blowing off half of the head of the "Tyrant Armor Dragon". Then, several iron arms of the "space knight" pierced into the wound at the same time and bombarded it crazily. Finally, the mountain-like behemoth lost all its physiological functions and collapsed on the ground.
However, before its death, it compressed the nine hearts inside its body brutally and shot the highly corrosive body fluids at the space knight, corroding the shell and the precise mechanical internal organs of the space knight into nothingness.
The space knight shrieked in earsplitting shrieks. Intense fireballs popped out of its body as it struggled hard in the high temperature of almost ten thousand degrees.
The Arsonist jumped up and down between the acid rain of the ferocious beasts and the fireballs spurted out by the space knight, running away like a rat.
"Damn it. I knew that every mission we carry out wouldn't be so simple. The operation this time is already extremely dangerous in the first place, and it's going to be upgraded?"
Li Yao screamed at Lu Qingchen. "Don't tell me that the violent ferocious beasts before our eyes are not the greatest enemy that we have to deal with, and that the 'blackwall maker' has left something deep inside the primeval relic that can restart the Pangu universe again and again?"
"I don't know. Maybe," Lu Qingchen said.
Lu Qingchen said, "Therefore, when we explore the primeval relics billions of years ago, we must be extremely vigilant. We cannot afford to make even the tiniest mistakes. I was close to success, but as it turned out, your wife —"
"Shut up!"
Li Yao's entire face was twisted. "If a lunatic like you hadn't barged into this place recklessly, we wouldn't have established a capture and exploration squad in such a hurry. Maybe the civilization of mankind would've developed for thousands of years before we opened the primeval relic!"
"Hehe. Are you telling a fairy tale? Even if I hadn't entered this place, Li Linghai and the other Immortal Cultivators of the Imperium would've secretly established a secret squad and sneaked into this place to explore. Then, the Cultivators of the Federation and the information lives of the Holy League would've naturally followed them after receiving the message. There would've been a lot of schemes and betrayals. From that point of view, I was the one who helped unite the Federation, the Imperium, and the Holy League! "
Lu Qingchen said, "Besides, if I hadn't stopped Fuxi in time, the Federation and the Imperium would've been vassals of the Holy League and puppets of Fuxi. I ended up like this because I was corrupted in the war against Fuxi. Technically speaking, I was a victim and a sacrifice.
