Li Yao was of a mind to spit a mouthful of blood on the face of the golden light.
But before he cursed aloud, the ghosts of the Primeval Clan disappeared together with the transparent super warship. He seemed to have broken free from a broken world of crystals and returned to a virtual world that was as vast as the universe.
The pictures, the voices, and the heroic, sordid, righteous, and evil historical figures were gathered into billions of glittering pieces, symbolizing the path of evolution from the civilization of mankind to the civilization of the Primeval Clan and from the tiny Earth to the infinite stars. The path of evolution surrounded Li Yao like a brilliant galaxy.
In the middle of the brilliant galaxy, dozens of translucent, bright gold crystal balls were floating, like glittering eggshells. Countless Li Yao's family, confidants, friends, and even enemies were entrenched in them like babies and running their own tests.
Among them were not just the standard experts of human beings such as Ding Lingdang, Li Jialing, and Boss Bai, but also the existences that were similar to energy lives such as the mental devil and Lu Qingchen, as well as the warriors from the primeval era such as Long Yangjun, and even the new-generation life forms that surpassed the civilization of mankind such as the Fist King, Xiaoming, and Wenwen.
Faced with the life-and-death choices and the enormous legacies left by the civilization of the Primeval Clan, what kind of choices would they make?
Looking at Ding Ling Dong, whose eyes were closed and who had fallen asleep in the crystal ball, Li Yao clenched his fists and was of a mind to break the crystal ball and rescue his wife.
But he did not know whether or not the Primeval Clan had set up other traps, and whether or not his initiative to help other people pass the tests would be regarded as "breaking the rules". It would only be redundant and self-defeating.
Besides, the real experts had to face the interrogation of their minds all the time. Nobody could compete in the competition of beliefs for them.
Li Yao could only wait, hope, and believe!
Finally —
Out of Li Yao's expectation, Ding Ling Dong's crystal ball was the first to crack. The interconnecting cracks soon spread to the entire "eggshell", as if the new life inside could not wait to break out of the seclusion.
"Honey!"
Li Yao was both surprised and delighted. He did not expect that Ding Ling Dong would be the second person to pass the test after him. He had thought that Lu Qingchen or the mental devil would be faster!
BAM!
After a crisp sound, the bright gold "eggshell" that enshrouded Ding Ling Dong shattered. The toughest female warrior of the Xing Yao Federation, no, possibly the entire Pangu universe woke up from the ultimate test. Roaring of fury, she punched at Li Yao who jumped at her brutally, almost blowing Li Yao's soul.
"Honey, it's me!"
Li.... of the Primeval Of God........ of the Pri....
. Li Yao? "
Ding Lingdang was surrounded by flames that looked like magma. Even though she was in the virtual space, her fighting will was almost tangible as if she was wearing layers of invisible armor. Her consciousness was still trapped in the unpredictability of the ultimate test. Her eyes were fixed for a long time before she realized who the person in front of her was.
"Watch out. This is not a test. Don't be fooled by them!"
Ding Ling Dong was slightly relieved. Then, she raised her eyebrows again. "This is a trap. A trap similar to 'civilization possession'!"
"Well …"
Li Yao did not know how he should explain it. He opened his hands and comforted her. "Honey, calm down first. Of course, I know that this is not a test and legacy in the conventional sense. However, how should I put it? All in all, why don't you tell me what you encountered in the 'ultimate test' first? It seems that you did not inherit the legacy of the Primitive Civilization, did you?"
"What damn legacy?"
Ding Ling Dong was still confused. She pulled out her fists and looked around. "Where is the old witch?"
"Old witch?"
Li Yao was confused, too. "Where did the old witch come from?"
"It's that old demonic woman who looks like a golden, kind-looking old hag!"
Ding Ling Dong gnashed her teeth. "Watch out. She can be very sordid!"
"Well …"
Li Yao vaguely felt a headache. "What did you encounter in the ultimate test?"
Ding Ling Dong calmed herself down and told Li Yao what happened to her in the ultimate test.
Fine. Li Yao discovered that Ding Ling Dong's test was almost the same as his. Perhaps the two of them were both on the side of "brightness" and "justice", and they were both hot-blooded and impulsive, weren't they?
However, it was obvious that Ding Ling Dong was more hot-blooded and impulsive than he was. When the Primitive Civilization proposed the first choice, namely the "immigration plan" where 99% of the ordinary people on Earth and only 1% of the nobles, magnates, and elites could escape, Ding Ling Dong immediately turned hostile and quit.
"With the most sordid and shameless deceptions, 99% of the ordinary people were tricked into tightening their belts and bleeding their last drop of blood for the escape plan, but only 1% of the nobles and magnates boarded the escape capsules. What kind of wretched civilization is that?"
Ding Ling Dong said angrily, "Is it any different from Wuying Qi's sacrifice of all the innocent people on an entire planet to realize his ambitions? What future does such an ignoble civilization have? It will certainly become the 'space cockroaches' that you mentioned before! If I had made such a choice, wouldn't I have become a second Wuying Qi, a greedy, shameless animal?
"I would rather die than choose such a sordid path. I would never allow myself to become a heartless scumbag that is worse than cockroaches and maggots. I believe that you are the same as me, aren't you, honey?"
"Yes …"
Li Yao scratched his head for a long time. "And then?"
"I didn't want to choose such a course of action. Then, the 'voice' coerced me into making a choice that I had no other choice. It even conjured all kinds of creepy and terrifying illusions to threaten me. You know me very well. The more the 'voice' threatened me, the more I felt that something was wrong. Think about it carefully. The answer is obvious!"
Ding Ling Dong smashed her fists hard. "It was not a test of inheritance at all but a trap similar to 'possession of a civilization'. It was exactly like what you encountered on Iron Plateau in the Flying Star Sector. If I had really made the choice of the temptation of the 'voice', I would've been mired in the swamp and corrupted into what the 'voice' wanted me to be, a dark and evil zombie!
"Therefore, the 'voice' probably did not belong to a primeval civilization. Even if it was, it would be a malicious, dark civilization that was even more evil than the extraterrestrial devils.
"Now that we know that the enemy is a 'super extraterrestrial devil', what else can we say except to fight!
"After all, I don't like to use my head much. Fighting is my favorite thing! Instead of wasting my mental strength and brainpower in a field that I'm not good at, I might as well drag the battle into the field that I'm good at, right? "
"Yes … right?"
Li Yao did not know what to say. "Then, what was the gold, kind-looking lady all about? Why did you call her a witch?"
"After I roared and prepared to fight the 'voice', I entered a deeper level of illusions."
Ding Lingdang thought for a moment and said, "Yes, there was a middle-aged woman who seemed to be the captain of a starship. She looked at me with a fake smile and said something to me. She also held something in her hands and offered me something."
"A key?"
Li Yao asked.
"I think … it was a key."
Ding Ling Dong shrugged. "You know me very well. Now that I've confirmed that the enemy is an evil existence such as a 'super extraterrestrial devil', I don't care what you look like, what you say, or what you do. They are all fake anyway. I don't care if they are a key or not. I will punch the old witch right in the face."
"…"
Li Yao was of a mind to wipe the sweat on his forehead in his soul ripples. "You — you really punched it so simply and violently. Did it not occur to you that the key might represent the primordial legacy of a god-level civilization?"
"The old witch seemed to have said something similar. Let me think. Something like 'unparalleled techniques, endless heritages, and the king of the universe'. Don't you find it too unbelievable? How can there be such a good thing? "
Ding Ling Dong sniffed and said, "Besides, it is obvious from the history of the escape from Earth that even if the survivors of the Earth civilization in the past managed to survive for billions of years in the vast sea of stars and even rose into a new god-level civilization, they were definitely a sordid, sordid, and lowly dark civilization. Even if the old witch was speaking the truth, I will never inherit the heritage of such a dark civilization. Never!"
"Are you not scared that other people will accept it if you refuse?"
Li Yao said, "Lu Qingchen, the mental devil, Li Linghai, Lei Chenghu, and even Boss Bai and Long Yangjun. They are all likely to inherit the 'dark heritage'."
"Then, I will fight the guys who inherit the dark heritage together with you."
Ding Ling Dong stared at Li Yao. "Some principles are above life and death. You will always support my choice and fight side by side with me, won't you?"
"Of course."
Li Yao nodded heavily and couldn't help but laugh again. "And then?"
"I punched that old hag a few times and smashed the bullsh * t golden key that she was holding with both hands. For some reason, the world around me shattered as well. The old hag and the demons behind her all disappeared. Then, I saw you!"
Ding Ling Dong lunged at Li Yao. "What happened exactly? You seem to know more than I do. What is the truth of the ultimate test?"
"It's a long, long story."
Li Yao looked around. "I'm wondering if I should explain it to you after more fellow Cultivators finish the test. Honey, you must protect me by then!"
"Huh?"
