Ten thousand golden flames of war leaped up from the deepest part of his brain and exploded in thousands of supernovae in midair, illuminating Li Yao's entire sea of consciousness in clarity and brilliance.
Under the illumination of infinite brilliance, the voice — the body of the Primeval Civilization made of billions of black tentacles — looked so ugly, feeble, and hilarious.
It was dumbfounded, deeply awed by the formidability of Li Yao's soul.
It shivered, as if it could not believe that a little boy, a humble tester, that it had born billions of years later, was bold enough to resist its will.
It wriggled, its hideous eyes that were filled with venom rolling quickly, as if it were considering a new scheme.
"Even if you are not scared of death …"
The voice said, "You should think about your wife and your civilization. Do you want all your family, friends, and your entire home to be buried together with your recklessness?"
His words only made Li Yao hesitate for half a second.
Half a second later, Li Yao's fighting will emanated the sharpest brilliance again, turning into an invincible saber that slashed at the bewitchment of the black tentacles brutally.
"Don't scare me with my wife. I know what kind of person Ding Ling Dong is better than you do. If she were standing next to me and faced with the same choice, she would certainly be more determined and resolute than me. Chances are that she wouldn't even hesitate when she made the first choice!"
Li Yao condensed the flames of war into a finger and pointed at the voice brutally. "She is a person who is purer and more straightforward than I am. She will not be trapped by your fancy words and sordid bewitchment. She will certainly fight you to the end without any hesitation!
"If I were to abandon my principles, abandon my belief that I have cultivated for a hundred years, and abandon my bottom line as a human being because of her, it would not only be my incompetence, but it would also be the greatest insult to her!
"I believe. I deeply believe that she will definitely agree with my choice at this moment. She will stand by my side and fight to the last breath without abandoning me!
"No. Perhaps, at this moment, in another test field, she has already seen through your scheme and waged a war against you, hasn't she? In that case, as a man, how can I run away from the battle and leave her to face such a sordid and filthy person like you alone? "
"You …"
The voice was cramping more and more crazily and helplessly. "Are you so confident in her?"
"Of course!"
Li Yao laughed. "If there is not even the most fundamental trust between a couple, how can they crawl into the same bed?"
"…"
The voice was lost for words.
"Also, not only am I confident in Ding Ling Dong, but I'm also confident in Long Yangjun, Boss Bai, Li Jialing, and even the new lives such as' A Boxing Champion ',' Xiaoming ', and' Wenwen '. I'm confident in my thousands of compatriots!"
Li Yao's voice was louder and louder, and the fire of his will was more and more dazzling. "In the past, although it was full of haze and setbacks, although I fumbled and ran into countless obstacles in the dark maze and was heavily wounded, in the end, all my family, friends, and compatriots showed the brightest heart, the most brilliant fighting will, and the most powerful strength. It was the strength that saved me, them, and our common home time and time again, and built us, the new-generation civilization of mankind in the Pangu universe, the infinite brilliance that is full of hope. It will be the same this time!
"As for the mental devil and Lu Qingchen, hehe, although they are evil, they are definitely not humble or stupid. I believe that they will not be willing to be your puppets and claws and abandon all their pride and free will. They will certainly counterattack you in their own way and show you the strength of the new human beings!"
"You — you don't even have one billionth of a chance!"
The voice roared, or rather, wailed, "You are moths darting toward the fire. You are asking to be killed!"
"I've said the same thing countless times in the past hundred years, but every time I say it, I can't help but feel my blood boil as if it were the first time. Even if the odds are only one in a billion, it is definitely not 'zero'!"
Li Yao took a deep breath. All the flames of war that were dancing crazily in the sky were condensed into a golden blade. His love for his wife, his loyalty to his friends, his attachment to his home, his loyalty to the civilization of mankind, his yearning for the unknown universe, his hope for the endless future … Everything was condensed into billions of rolling edges in the golden blade.
"Who says that moths darting toward the fire are asking to be killed? As long as there are enough moths, even the most furious fire can be extinguished. "
Li Yao declared resolutely, one word after another, "Then, billions of burning moths will fall into the dark forest without caring about their own safety. However vast, cold, and terrifying the dark forest is, it will burn into a brilliant new world, won't it?
"I firmly believe that.
"So, cut the crap and let's fight!"
The golden blade slashed at the voice brutally.
At this moment, Li Yao's heart was devoid of all distracting thoughts. He had forgotten the fear that the civilization of mankind was about to be destroyed. Even the result of the attack was not important.
There was only one thought left in his mind.
He, human beings, could be destroyed, but they could not be defeated.
Bam!
Li Yao had thought that after the attack, he would either be counterattacked by the unparalleled power of the voice and be completely suppressed, or his genes would collapse into bubbles and vanish into nothingness like "Mie Zhongdao" and "Dragon Lotus Seed".
Or, the voice would let out an earsplitting shriek, as if the countless weird forces that had crawled into his brain and tried to possess him had been crushed and dispersed by him.
But out of his expectation, the sound of crystals breaking echoed next to his ears. Countless bright gold cracks appeared in his vision, and the black universe was peeled off one piece after another. The body of the voice that was as ugly as a maggot was gone, too, and it was replaced by …
"What … What the hell is this?"
Dumbfounded, Li Yao stared at the weird picture in his vision while the golden blade was floating in midair. He felt that the heavy punch that he had accumulated all his strength missed nothing. It could not have been more uncomfortable.
He seemed to have boarded a glittering battleship of the Primeval Clan again, surrounded by countless translucent golden figures. There were men and women, old and young. Although their faces were full of gentleness and wisdom without any hostility, they did not look like living beings at all. Instead, they looked more like countless ghosts who regretted what they had done.
"Congratulations, tester 'Li Yao'."
The "ghost" in the lead, who seemed to be a kindly middle-aged woman, floated to the center of Li Yao's vision and said with a smile, "After billions of years of waiting, the most suitable heir has finally arrived. You have successfully passed the test, which means that your civilization is qualified to receive all the 'legacies' of the Primeval Civilization. You will bring a new life to us and to yourselves."
"W-What?"
Li Yao stammered. Thinking quickly, he realized what was going on and exclaimed, "Everything just now … was fake? Was it just to test my temperament? Everything that the voice said was fake. The plan of the Sun Defense Line was fake. The depraved primeval people who were as despicable as cockroaches and maggots to survive were fake, too? "
"No, the voice was real. The plan of the Sun Defense Line was real, too. The 'depraved primeval people' who were as despicable as cockroaches and maggots existed too."
The middle-aged female ghost was still smiling, but there was intense regret, regret, and … shame in her smile. "However, you don't think that bright flowers can't grow in the filthy mud, that the dark night sky can't give birth to glittering stars, that the descendants of the evildoers must be equally despicable and evil, and that they do not know how to reflect on what their ancestors did, do you? In particular, the foolish and evil deeds of our ancestors did not bring good results, but instead pushed us deeper and deeper into the swamp of destruction. Under such circumstances, will we really persist in our own ways and repeat the degeneration and disgrace of our ancestors? "
"What do you mean?"
Li Yao was greatly confused. "I don't understand!"
"It's very simple. The three 'no alternatives' that made you so frustrated and angry did exist, and they were indeed the real history of the Primeval Civilization. However, when we wrote the program, or rather, left this' will ', it had been thirty thousand years since the implementation of the plan of the Sun Defense Line and the destruction of countless stars."
The middle-aged female ghost — she was perhaps the captain of the starship of the primeval people. "The Primeval Civilization was not an iron plate. It did not have a unified will like the Flood. The primeval people scattered in various sub-universes had their own social standards and moral concepts. The primeval people thirty thousand years ago and the primeval people thirty thousand years later had completely different opinions when they considered certain issues. Even on my starship, everybody had their own ideas and ideas to save the civilization."
"Are you suggesting …"
Li Yao thought for a moment. "The 'magnates, magnates, and elites' who implemented the plan of the Sun Defense Line, sacrificed most of their compatriots, destroyed the natural paradises at the center of the Universe Ocean, and struggled to survive in the most sordid and shameless ways, were actually your ancestors from thirty thousand years ago. When you left … your will, thirty thousand years had passed, and you did not agree with what your ancestors did?"
"How could we have agreed?"
The female captain's smile couldn't have been more bitter. "Leaving 'justice' and 'evil' aside, the plan of the Sun Defense Line was no different from the plan to march into space when we escaped from Earth in the past. They were both a death sentence that had been extended to thirty thousand years.
"Thirty thousand years. For thirty thousand years, we drifted in the sea of stars, enduring the scant resources and claustrophobia. We lived in fear all day long.
"Ahead of us was darkness that was more and more desolate. Sometimes, we could not find a space zone that had even the slightest spiritual energy after a hundred years of sailing. Behind us was the raging Flood, who chased after us relentlessly, trying to nail us to the pillar of shame of the universe. In the meantime, we were burdened with the sins of our ancestors and the sins that we were born with, as if every one of us was born in exchange for the miserable deaths of countless compatriots thirty thousand years ago.
