The tomb keeper was silent for a long time after he said that.
It seemed that the Supreme Emperor was not too hopeful about whether or not somebody would come here, hear his last words, and pass the 'ultimate test' of the creator of the black wall.
"My request seems to be too outrageous. How can the civilization of mankind discover the answer when a hundred primeval civilizations, including the Pangu civilization, failed to find it? Perhaps — perhaps we should not run such a test at all. We should stay away from the primeval relics and forget everything. We should forget the vastness of the multiverse, the threat of the Flood, and the glory that we once had as the creators of the black wall. We should live a carefree, ignorant life until the day when we are corrupted by time and naturally obliterated. "
The tomb keeper's voice was almost moaning. "Or perhaps, we need a miracle, just like the miracle when the inorganic objects at the beginning became alive in the lightning and thunder and turned into organic matter. Only such a miracle can allow our civilization to take a leap and evolve toward a brighter direction.
"Speaking of which, life itself is a miracle, and intelligent lives are the amalgamation of billions of miracles. Miracles always happen. Miracles … have already happened, haven't they?"
After the last question that was both melancholy and hopeful, the image of the Supreme Emperor, who was gray-haired and dying, finally fell apart into billions of streaks of bright gold brilliance and rushed into Li Yao's head like an overwhelming meteor shower.
In a moment, illusions were popping up in Li Yao's eyes, and war drums were echoing in his ears. His every nerve ending absorbed astronomical information instantly. Scenes that were billions of times more vivid and detailed than the 3D shadows just now were flashing in his soul one after another.
Not only was he in the place, but he had also turned into the dying Supreme Emperor. The complicated and soul-stirring life was rolling back as fast as lightning.
The first thing that Li Yao saw was that the white-haired Supreme Emperor was competing with the devil in his heart deep inside the primeval relic. His silver hair suddenly turned into the color of blood that was as hot as fire and then brilliant gold. His face was now hideous and now determined, and his battle roars were now high pitched and now crazy. He was controlling two super Colossi to compete with the "Golden Sun" and the "Apocalypse of Doom" through remote manipulation. It was not until the two Colossi were riddled with holes and shattered that the brightness inside his body completely suppressed the darkness, and the saber that the "Golden Sun" waved pierced through the "Apocalypse of Doom" brutally!
Then, the picture flashed back to the shocking battle below the ground of the capital planet near the "Gold Crystal Pyramid".
It was still the competition between the "Golden Sun" and the "Apocalypse of Doom", but this time, the "Apocalypse of Doom" was controlled by the real Mad Armageddon, and the Supreme Emperor was at the peak of his spiritual energy and soul. The power of the two Colossi was more than ten times higher!
It was a battle that was more glorious than any battle that Li Yao had ever participated in. Ten thousand new suns seemed to have risen from the underground world, triggering countless tectonic faults and magma belts. The whole planet was awed by the dominance of the Supreme Emperor and the madness of the Blood God. The sky was collapsing, the earth was trembling, and the living creatures were dying. Even a planet was almost blown up.
The picture flashed again. This time, it was the most glorious moment in the eyes of the world when the Supreme Emperor ascended to the throne and established an unprecedented cause for the civilization of mankind.
The Supreme Emperor stood in front of the magnificent fortress, his glamorous armor setting off his god-like demeanor. He truly had the vibe of 'nobody dared to disobey him'. In the meantime, the ten thousand warships that tore apart the atmosphere in the middle of the burning clouds unleashed glamorous salutes, symbolizing the infinite future of the Star Ocean Imperium and the civilization of mankind. That was the most glorious moment of the Star Ocean Imperium. Neither the Supreme Emperor nor any of the civilians could have foreseen that the glory today would turn into endless catastrophes after only a few decades, and that the civilization of mankind would have to grope in the swamps of chaos for another ten thousand years before they could welcome new peace and hope.
However, the hidden dangers had been planted. The picture flashed again, showing the scene where countless leaders of the rebels were killed miserably by the Supreme Emperor, including the Supreme Emperor's former comrades and even childhood friends. Their roars and screams turned into black, venomous thorns that became the wounds and regrets deep inside the Supreme Emperor's soul that could never be removed.
As the pictures flashed nonstop, the Supreme Emperor's memories moved all the way to the past.
At first, it was the glory and satisfaction when he organized the rebels to resist the rulers of the demon race and won every battle. Then, it was the time when he was faced with all kinds of nightmarish beasts and war machines in the arena, polishing his soul and awakening his primordial bloodline. Finally, it was the time when he had a miserable but happy childhood in the slave mine.
He remembered it now. At the moment of his death, the Supreme Emperor remembered everything. His thoughts passed through the wormhole and returned to the primordial relic, to the frozen battlefield, and even to the time when he existed as an 'embryo' before the battlefield was frozen.
Then —
The embryo of the Supreme Emperor was like a gate, or rather, a black hole that contained infinite mysteries. When the researchers of the Pangu bombarded the black hole with all kinds of intense stimuli, Li Yao's consciousness crawled into the black hole through the spiral brilliance and saw the secrets hidden in the deepest part of the Supreme Emperor's gene strands.
He saw very clearly the primordial humans whose eyes were deep and whose skin was surging with unpredictable golden stripes.
He saw how those primeval humans appeared in the Pangu universe in the crystal warships that seemed to be able to melt into the three-dimensional space and jump into the four-dimensional space at any time.
He saw how the primordial humans shattered their bodies and turned every cell into a crystal seed that contained billions of genes. They were then scattered to every habitable planet and resource planet in the universe of the Pangu, and even the vacuum asteroid belt that theoretically could not produce any life.
He saw how the last few primordial humans stood on the Tower of Babel and looked at the starry sky with complicated expressions after most of the primordial humans had shattered themselves. Then, the most brilliant stars in the brilliant starry sky were extinguished one after another!
The starry sky above their heads was originally like a sparkling ocean. No matter where they looked, they could see the burning stars connecting together and illuminating the earth as if it was daytime.
However, the billions of stars were extinguished one after another. It was as if an invisible dark beast had swallowed the universe, leaving only a few stars that struggled to emit a dim light.
The black wall rose up.
The primordial humans sealed themselves in the tiny universe of the Pangu.
"Ah!"
This scene made Li Yao feel endless sorrow and anger. It was as if he had been sealed in a small iron house. He was so suffocated that he could not breathe. He could not help but let out the most intense roar.
He wanted to struggle, resist, question, roar, and release the power from the deepest part of his gene strands. He wanted to break the damned black wall and break all seals!
Countless golden lights gushed, rolled, and surged in his mind.
At first, he thought that it was the Supreme Emperor's legacy.
However, he soon discovered that it was not just the Supreme Emperor's legacy. It was mainly the power released from the depths of his gene strands.
Whether it was the Supreme Emperor or every ordinary human living in the Pangu universe today, they were all the same. They were the inheritors of the creator of the black wall from billions of years ago.
However, the primordial bloodline that they had unlocked was different. The Supreme Emperor might have unlocked 10% to 30% of his power, while the ordinary humans only unlocked a few thousandths or even ten thousandths of their power.
Li Yao, who had cultivated to the Divinity Branching Stage, might have unlocked 10% of his primordial bloodline. He also had an advantage that even the Supreme Emperor did not have. His soul came from Earth, a place that was closer to the core of the Flood and the secrets of the primordial era.
Therefore, after receiving the Supreme Emperor's guidance, Li Yao's gene strands were also crazily unlocked. All kinds of information that had been stored for billions of years surged out incessantly, almost destroying his cells, nerves, blood, bones, internal organs, and entire brain before they were exquisitely reconstructed!
"Ahhhhhhhh!"
Li Yao let out the most devastating and infuriated roars. Mysterious, complicated gold stripes popped up on his skin. Even his widened eyes and his retina had waterfall-like stripes, too. A moment later, they disappeared into his soul again.
Li Yao did not know how long he had been wandering, lurking, and training in the deepest part of the Supreme Emperor's legacy and his own gene bank.
It felt like a long life. Not the life of a certain person, but the long life of a glorious ancient civilization.
When he woke up, he found that he was enshrouded in a warm and soft strength, as if he were being nurtured in the firmest cocoon.
It was Little Black. He was enshrouded by Little Black again.
"Thank you, Little Black. I didn't know that you were such a great being."
Li Yao smiled and said in a low voice.
Little Black released gentle waves and spat out Li Yao.
Taking a deep breath, Li Yao extended his right hand and observed his body.
At first glance, his body was no different from a moment ago. It did not change into any strange shape or copper.
But with a telepathic thought, vague golden stripes would appear on his skin. As if they were ink that was alive, they automatically assembled into complicated runes and even penetrated into his muscles and bones from his skin. The efficiency and intensity of the techniques he performed were more than ten times higher than when he cast spells and made hand seals in the past.
