Li Yao was so fascinated that he finally took a long breath in relief.
So, this is the truth. It is indeed much more complicated and reasonable than the version in the history books.
Li Yao thought to himself. However, many details were not mentioned in the Supreme Emperor's last words. According to the legends, he trained himself in two clones — the 'Sky Splitting Warlord' and the 'Star Ocean War Emperor'. What was that all about? Also, other than the Mad Armageddon, his strongest clone, the Supreme Emperor had nineteen other clones. Did they represent a different side of his personality, too? What happened to those clones?
History was like a sand painting in a storm and tides. Time would erase all the traces. The right answers to those questions would probably never be found. Even the Supreme Emperor's last words might not be 100% true. The details that were gone with the wind could only be imagined and commented by future generations.
At the very least, on the whole, the Supreme Emperor fulfilled his promise and killed the three freaks that he created — the Mad Armageddon, the Star Ocean Imperium, and himself, the 'Supreme Emperor' who led all mankind and might suppress all mankind in the future!
After ten thousand years of darkness and chaos, when the sea of stars was reunited, it was indeed reborn as the 'Star Ocean Republic' without the monarchy. Although the Imperium of True Human Beings was restored under the influence of the remaining soul of the Blood God, a new hope that was the Xing Yao Federation popped up at the edge of the cosmos, too. Any arbitrary ruler, whether he was an emperor, a supreme being, a true god, or anything else, could never cover the sky. It would never be possible!
For the Supreme Emperor who was full of regret, it was perhaps the best redemption and the ending that he wanted to see most, wasn't it?
As he expected, vague warmth flowed out of the tomb keeper's voice.
"As you know, these are my last words. I've recorded more than one copy of similar things. For the universe that will change beyond recognition thousands of years later, there will be corresponding last words for all the different endings."
The tomb keeper said, "I am very happy that my last words have been presented to you because it means that the information collection magical equipment that I placed in the outside world has detected that the outside world is a thriving world. The civilization of mankind is finally free and liberated. Even though it is just a beginning, it is still developing toward a brighter and brighter direction.
"Perhaps, compared to us in the past, all of you are more qualified to complete … the mission hidden in the depths of the ancient ruins!
"To make a long story short, I almost killed the Mad Armageddon and destroyed the main force of his rebels in the battle on the capital planet. However, I was on the brink of death myself.
"To me, death is just another familiar slumber. I do not fear death, but I am unwilling to vanish with so many questions. Where did we humans come from? Are we natives of the universe of Pangu, or are we from the Multiverse, which is vaster and more terrible? And what power would drive us here, even forcing us to completely erase our existence and lay dormant for billions of years before daring to sprout anew? What is deep inside the ancient ruins? What are the Pangu civilization and the primeval civilizations looking for? If I am the only successful embryo that the Pangu civilization created, why did the universe of Pangu become the world of human beings after hundreds of thousands of years? What is the matter with the techniques hidden deep inside my gene bank? Why am I the only one who can activate and release them? Is it possible to find a way to turn all human beings into what I am? If it is possible, is such a change good or bad for the overall interests of the civilization of mankind?
"There are so many questions, but none of them have been answered. I am truly unwilling to die with infinite regrets.
"Naturally, I thought of my hometown, the ancient ruins that were still frozen in time. Dragging my broken, shaking body, I returned to this place.
"At this time, I already had a high understanding of the dangers of the ancient ruins. I did not want to cause more innocent people to die for me, nor did I want these reckless people to trigger the traps deep inside the ancient ruins. Therefore, I did not bring any subordinates with me. Before that, I even destroyed most of the information about the ancient ruins and set up many bluffs and complicated puzzles.
"Including the Pangu civilization, so many advanced and developed ancient civilizations failed to find the answer but were completely obliterated and vanished. I did not want the civilization of mankind to follow their footsteps. Therefore, I should at least wait until my compatriots pushed the civilization forward thousands of years and became more intelligent, rational, and courageous. That was why I was unwilling to tell the whole truth ten thousand years ago.
"The feeling of entering the ancient ruins again after a hundred years is slightly different from before. If I must describe it more precisely, the feeling of 'stickiness like jelly' is slightly thinner. When I walk through the frozen battlefield, it is not as exhausting as before. Also, I can drag out more and more objects and corpses from the swirls of gray fog for my studies.
"I know that it is a sign that the 'curvature of time' in the ancient ruins is about to return to normal.
"It is like drawing a saber and cutting the waves, leaving a clear arc in the water. No matter how much strength you use, how powerful the spiritual energy you blast out, and how deep the rift you cut open, the water on both sides will eventually drown the rift and smooth out the ripples. The small ripples will be integrated into the overall ripples of the vast ocean.
"There is not much time left for me and the civilization of mankind.
"The time in the ancient ruins has been frozen for hundreds of thousands of years. With the half-baked technology of the Pangu civilization back then, this is already the limit.
"Based on the changes in the radius of curvature of time in just a hundred years, the arc of time will completely disappear in another twelve to fifteen thousand years. The frozen time will flow at normal speed again, and the battlefield will return to its original state. The ferocious beasts and war machines sealed inside will not even realize that they have been sleeping for hundreds of thousands of years. And let alone hundreds of thousands of years, even millions of years of sleep will not be able to stop them from continuing this destructive war.
"In the end, whether the ferocious beasts completely devour the City of Silver, or the ancient ruins release its true power, completely wiping out the ferocious beast tide, the Pangu civilization, and the human civilization like how it destroyed hundreds of ancient civilizations, it will be a catastrophe for all of us.
"I am about to die.
"The cruel experiments when I was an embryo, the forceful breaking of the radius of curvature of time in my childhood, the forceful passing through wormholes after wormholes with almost no protection, the torture in the slave mine when I was a teenager, and the near-death, awakening, recovery, and breakthroughs in the battlefield in the sea of stars when I was young and in my prime … All of this bombarded my body on the genetic level, causing my seemingly strong body to be as weak as a piece of rotten wood.
"I can feel the vitality flowing out of every cell that is riddled with holes. Even the frozen time cannot save my life. It only slows down the speed of its decline slightly. I have to seize every second to carry out more experiments and explore more places for the future. I believe in the wisdom and courage of mankind. There will definitely be a successor. I have to burn my soul to provide you with the final guidance."
A white-haired old man appeared in front of Li Yao's eyes.
At this moment, he was no longer as dominating and tough as when he was the Supreme Emperor. His back was hunched, and he breathed heavily, like a dying old man, a veteran who was still unwilling to stop moving forward even after his feet were scraped and his blood ran dry on the path of pursuing the truth. He still wanted to use his bloody footprints to guide the future generations.
"I carefully bypassed the space-time bubbles and explored most of the areas in the City of Silver, including most of the laboratories established by the Pangu civilization and the places where the captives of the Flood Legion were locked up. I also found a lot of bodies, some of which belonged to the Pangu civilization, some of which belonged to the ferocious beasts that they transformed into, and some of which belonged to the captives of the Flood Legion, as well as the debris of the war machines left by the ancient civilization. I performed detailed dissections, dismantling, and studies, trying to infer the purpose of the countless civilizations gathered in the primordial relics and the reason why the Pangu civilization spent tremendous resources to create human beings at all costs. In the end, I finally found a clue."
The tomb keeper said, "It seems that the City of Silver didn't exist in the primordial relics at the beginning. However, in the vast world, there was a 'Tower of Babel' that led directly to the universe. This Tower of Babel was the creation of the creator of the black wall, and it was also the main hub that drove the black wall that enveloped the Pangu universe. The creator of the black wall left a mysterious' test 'in the Tower of Babel. The experts and scholars of the Pangu civilization believed that as long as they passed this' test ', they would be able to become the master of the Tower of Babel and inherit all the heritage of the creator of the black wall. They would also be able to control the black wall freely and expand the Pangu universe by a hundred times in an instant!
"However, it was easier said than done to pass the creator of the black wall's test. The specialists and scholars of the Pangu civilization had discovered countless remnants around the Supreme Tower. The broken war machines and the gory fossils were all the miseries left by the 'failed tests' of the primeval civilizations.
"At least a hundred ancient civilizations wanted to pass the creator of the black wall's test, but all of them failed. The price of failure was very likely that the entire civilization would be wiped out!
"Such a consequence naturally made the experts and scholars of the Pangu civilization not dare to act rashly.
