"I don't know if Li Yao can wait that long, but I do know that in the Multiverse, time can be twisted, folded, and penetrated just like space."
Wei Qingqing said, "As a carbon-based intelligent life, there is a limit to the lifespan of human beings no matter how they evolve. They can only live for a thousand years at most. However, I'm told that many of the heroic spirits caged in the 'Prison of Reincarnation' have existed for tens of thousands of years, or even millions of years. That can't be achieved without the laws of time compression, time twisting, or time freezing.
"On the other hand, different life forms have different perceptions of the scale of time. It's impossible for a bacterium to have the perception of time as a human being does. Also, if Li Yao does enter the Prison of Reincarnation and turn into something entirely different, perhaps a thousand years for you and me will be nothing more than a moment for him.
"There's another possibility. If Li Yao's soul has been completely digitized and virtualized, and the truth of the Prison of Reincarnation turns out to be a certain virtual world independent of the three-dimensional universe, there must be other mysteries about the speed of time in the Prison of Reincarnation.
"All in all, I believe that as long as Li Yao's heroic spirit is not destroyed, and you can persist in the battle until you break into the Prison of Reincarnation, it is not impossible for you to meet him again."
"That's right …"
Ding Ling Dong recalled the hundreds of thousands of years that had been frozen because of the changes of the time curvature deep inside the primeval relic. She couldn't help but nod her head.
"However, speaking of which, I feel that even if Li Yao's heroic spirit is still alive, he must've erased most of his life information. It is impossible for him to remember what happened in the universe of Pangu in the forty thousand years of the Cultivators. He doesn't even know who he is at all."
Wei Qingqing said, "If you really want to find him, you must try to send a message to the Prison of Reincarnation first to wake up his memories, his will, and his ego. I believe that as long as he remembers who he is, he will certainly turn the Prison of Reincarnation upside down. You don't need to worry about him at all."
"Send a message to the Prison of Reincarnation?"
Ding Ling Dong thought for a moment and said, "Wouldn't I be walking into a trap? Everything Li Yao did was to destroy the information! "
"Times have changed. Of course, I'm not saying that we should send a message to the Prison of Samsara in the depths of the Flood right now. With our current technology, we can't do that at all."
Wei Qingqing said. "Right now, the final battle between the Flood and the alliance of resistance hasn't broken out yet. We are still hiding in the darkness. Naturally, we cannot leak any information to the outside world.
"However, if we keep our eyes on the future hundreds or even thousands of years later, if we have found the various civilizations in the hundreds of universes near the Pangu universe one day and reached out to the alliance of resistance, it will be absolutely unnecessary for us to hide our existence when the two quasi god-level civilizations are truly at war. Instead, if we can reach out to the Prison of Reincarnation in the depths of the Flood and wake up all the heroes in the prison, we will raise a 'prison riot' that is a hundred times more intense than the 'Vulture Plan'. Perhaps, that will be the key to the victory.
"Look, it's just as I've said before. Our seemingly remote, barbaric, and insignificant civilization might not necessarily be unable to decide the future of the Multiverse Sea. A thousand miles of dikes could be destroyed by an ant's nest — who says that we can't be the ants that destroy the Flood?
"Of course, there is no need to rush into the matter right now, but you might as well consider carefully first. If we really need to send a message to the Prison of Reincarnation and wake up the heroes such as Li Yao one day, what kind of technology and approach should we use?"
Wei Qingqing's words dazed Ding Ling Dong. She thought for a long time.
She remembered that Li Yao once told her about Earth in the uncanny dream.
The Earth in the uncanny dream seemed to be inhabited by six billion ordinary people who were too weak to even truss a chicken. They were all ignorant, shameless creatures who had no idea about the wonders of spiritual energy, the vastness of the universe, or the real splendor of life.
In other words, they were never really alive, and Li Yao was just one of them.
However, what if those 'earthlings' discovered that they were not as common as they imagined but the unyielding heroes who had been captured in the countless wars against the Flood in the past billions of years?
What if the six billion heroes could be awakened to their real selves and reminded of their freedom, glory, and destiny in the past, making them as strong as Li Yao?
Perhaps, that would be the key to destroying the Flood.
"Got it."
Ding Lingdang's eyes, which had been confused for three days, became firm again. She let out a sigh of relief, and a confident smile appeared on her face again. Clenching her fists, she said sincerely, "Thank you, Sister Qingqing. I think I already know what to do next!"
"You're most welcome. Think more, think more, and don't believe anything that anybody says, including what I just said," Wei Qingqing said.
Wei Qingqing said, "Let me say it again. I don't know whether or not the messenger starships and the war horns are real, whether or not the alliance of Resisters is a disguise made up by the Flood to lure the Resisters into a trap. I don't know whether or not I have become a tool of evil and will lead our civilization into infinite darkness. I don't know the answer to any of that at all.
"I only know that the storm that sweeps across the sea of stars has come, and we have nowhere to run except to march forward bravely, right?"
"Yes."
Ding Ling Dong's eyes pierced through the transparent cabin and into the depths of the stormy starlight. She said resolutely, one word after another, "We have nowhere to run, and we have never thought of running. Whether our enemy is the Flood or the alliance of Resisters, a quasi god-level civilization, a real god-level civilization, or an existence beyond the god-level civilization that cannot be described with words, we will fight to the end. We will either die valiantly in the battle or climb to the peak of evolution and the peak above the peak by stepping on the enemy's dead body!
"In the past billions of years, our ancestors walked on the same path and created one hundred percent miracles with one billionth of a hope. In the billions of years to come, we will walk on the same path until the universe destroys us or we kill our way through the universe!"
…
It had been three years since Wei Qingqing returned to the Federation.
During the three years, the Federation, the Imperium, the Holy League, and the 'autonomous space zone of the primeval species' had changed a hundred times more intensely and rapidly than in the previous three years.
Of all the changes, the most important one for the future of the Pangu universe was undoubtedly the decision of the Joint Development Committee of the Divine Palace to launch the 'messenger plan' and march beyond the Pangu universe.
It was not a reckless move on the spur of the moment. Just like Ding Ling Dong and Wei Qingqing said, they did not have a choice.
Firstly, whether or not Wei Qingqing was telling the truth, or whether or not she had been hypnotized by the enemy, the debris of the 'messenger starship' carried the obvious traces of an industrial assembly line, at least according to the analysis of the specialists of magical equipment.
In other words, the messenger starships were not handmade and unique. It was possible that thousands of them had been manufactured and distributed to the entire multiverse.
Under such circumstances, it would be hilarious to continue to be a coward. Even if the civilization of mankind in the Pangu universe did not explore the outside, other messenger starships might discover other survivors, or new messenger starships would jump to the Pangu universe and eventually figure out the coordinates of the Pangu universe. The pursuers of the Flood might find the Pangu universe by following the traces of the messenger starships, too.
Burying its head in the sand was of no use except for a temporary and illusionary sense of security.
Secondly, assuming that Wei Qingqing had indeed been hypnotized by a malicious civilization, the purpose of the hypnotized civilization was to let the prey walk into the trap so that the hunting process would be easier. Even if the prey was not fooled, the hunter would still arrive in person in the near future.
With the scale of the Pangu universe, it was unlikely that it could develop the strength to compete with a quasi god-level civilization in a few thousand years. So, what difference did it make whether or not they were fooled?
Thirdly, the Resistance Alliance was indeed not a "well-intentioned civilization". Perhaps they intended to use the survivors as cannon fodder, but the cannon fodder also had to receive a certain degree of training and be given some sophisticated weapons. They also had a chance to survive on the cruel battlefield and build their own legends with their blood and courage. It was better than waiting for death.
In short, communication with the outside world was essential if a civilization wanted to develop. War was the most advanced form of communication. The human civilization in the Pangu universe had no choice but to fight the war between the two quasi god-level civilizations.
Of course, whether it was the Federation, the Empire, the Holy League, or the intelligent leaders of the primeval survivors, none of them would be stupid enough to follow the Resistance Alliance's pace.
Li Yao's experience in the "ultimate test" in the Tower of Babel had told everyone that the acquisition of any kind of power required an equal price. Gifts that were too advanced from the sky were often the precursor to the destruction of a civilization.
Having learned this lesson, the people did not activate the self-repair and replication functions of the carrier wreckage. Instead, they performed a comprehensive analysis of the wreckage, extracted the technology, and applied it to their own starships and teleportation portals.
The Pangu civilization had very advanced space navigation and space jump technology in the first place. It was so advanced that it could cross the black wall.
In the past three years, the Bifrost technology, a super teleportation portal that Gu Wuxin obtained from the captives of the Flood Tide Army, had been somewhat learned by the strongest human beings.
