Hong Tong stared at Li Yao in the eyes and said solemnly,
"The Xing Yao Federation has been exploring the Occult Orbs for hundreds of years. Most of the Occult Orbs within thousands of lightyears have been explored. Even the ones that haven't been explored yet are not as large as' Ultimacy ', and their spiritual waves are not as intense as' Ultimacy ', either. ↓ ↓ ↓ ↓ dot ↓ ↓ small ↓ ↓ ↓ continue.
"Right. Ultimacy is the name that Occult Orbs Fellowship gave to this Occult Orb.
"There may be Occult Orbs that are even larger than ten thousand years away, or even other Sectors with civilizations. But they are far beyond our level of exploration. Without any new magical equipment or techniques, we won't be able to explore and develop them even if we find any in the next thirty to fifty years.
"In fifty years, or even thirty years, the Tian Yuan Realm and the Blood Demon Sector will officially merge.
"It means that Ultimacy is the last hope that we can find in the war between the two Sectors!
"According to the estimation of the specialists, such intense spiritual waves are still spreading out after thousands of years. Even if there is no stellar-level magical equipment on Ultimacy, there must be at least a few planetary-level magical equipment, or something of the same level.
Stellar-Level magical equipment could cover an entire solar system.
Planetary magical equipment was one level lower, but it could still suppress a planet easily.
The Xing Yao Federation and the demon kingdoms of the Blood Demon Sector were still in the phase of planetary civilization. The foundation of their civilization was the Heaven's Origin Sector and the Blood Demon Sector. They hadn't really ventured into the sea of stars yet.
A piece of 'planetary magical equipment' that could suppress a planet could indeed turn the tide of a war. It could even annihilate the enemy without sacrificing a single soldier.
But if the enemy got the planetary magical equipment before them …
Li Yao shuddered and said straightforwardly,
"Ultimacy has been discovered by the Blood Demon Sector, too."
It was not a question. It was a confirmation.
If the Blood Demon Sector hadn't discovered Ultimacy, the news wouldn't have been made public. Even an ordinary Star Team would have been able to produce the pictures and files easily.
Hong Tong nodded.
"As a matter of fact, the Blood Demon Sector discovered Ultimacy before the Tian Yuan Realm did because of our Phantom Eyes. It was the Eight-Eyed Demon of the Blood Demon Sector that led us to Ultimacy.
The Blood Demon Sector had plans to explore the Occult Orbs, too.
Although they did not have powerful magical equipment, they had produced a special demon beast named 'Eight-eyed Demon' that was very suitable for survival and flight in the vacuum of space. When necessary, it could enter the hibernation state and drift in the universe for hundreds of years like a meteorite. Only when spiritual waves were detected would it be thawed and revived to explore the universe.
The Eight-eyed Demons and the Fantasy Star Eyes were the vanguards of the Demon Race and the Human Race in conquering the sea of stars.
Hong Tong added.
"However. The Phantom Star Eye didn't find any sign that the demon clan was developing Ultimacy on a large scale. I assume that they have just discovered Ultimacy. After all, the Blood Demon Sector's capability is on par with ours. If we can't develop the Occult Orbs easily, they can't, either!
Li Yao pondered for a moment and roughly understood the current situation.
"The concept of time in the heavens is easily calculated in billions of years. The fusion of two Greater Chiliocosms. "Even if it's just two 'bubbles' fusing into one after a 'pop', in the eyes of us plankton 'humans' who live in the sea of stars, it's nothing. It will still take thirty to fifty years.
"In the next thirty to fifty years, it is still impossible for the two Greater Chiliocosms to project all their combat ability into the other Greater Chiliocosm.
"Besides, even if they do project their combat ability into the other Greater Chiliocosm, it is very likely that both Greater Chiliocosm and Greater Chiliocosm will suffer great losses. Ten out of ten experts will perish. It is hard to say whether or not the winner will be able to recover in the end. "
In Li Yao's previous life, there had been the concept of 'nuclear winter'. Once the two nuclear superpowers started a war... It was very likely that the entire Greater Chiliocosm would be mired in darkness and coldness for decades. There would be no winner at all. There would only be two outcomes: early death or late death.
Although the Heaven's Origin Sector and the Blood Demon Sector did not have such terrifying magical equipment as nuclear weapons, the Yuanying and the demon emperors were still existences that could overturn the universe on their own.
If dozens of Yuanying and demon emperors fought each other until both sides suffered great losses, it was possible that the spiritual energy of the two Greater Chiliocosms would be disrupted, leading to all kinds of extreme weather conditions. Earthquakes, tsunamis, droughts, floods, volcanic eruptions, and even a mini ice age that could last a hundred years …
Neither the Human Clan nor the Demon Clan wanted to face such a situation.
It would be best if planetary magical equipment could be found in the Occult Orbs that could inflict heavy damage to the enemy instantly!
No wonder the Occult Orbs Fellowship had been so active recently. On one hand, it had revealed a lot of secrets to the public, and on the other hand, it had been searching for talents crazily in the world of Cultivators. Almost all the best Building Foundation Stage Cultivators had been recruited by them.
Exploration in the Occult Orbs could indeed decide the fate of human beings in the Heaven's Origin Sector.
Li Yao asked,
"Have any Star Teams explored Ultimacy yet?"
Hong Tong shook his head.
"Not yet. Ultimacy is too far away from the Tian Yuan Realm. It is nine thousand lightyears away. The best we can do with the launch platforms we have right now is to launch a Phantom Star Eye. It is impossible to launch a star shuttle of a larger scale, ensure the safety of the human beings inside, and retrieve it in time."
The Phantom Star Eye was small in size, light in weight, and simple in structure. It was not difficult to launch it, either. It could unleash the maximum spiritual energy without any concern. It would not matter even if the launch failed.
But launching a manned star shuttle to cover a distance of nine thousand lightyears in the blink of an eye in the four-dimensional space was a completely different matter.
One moment of carelessness, and even if the star shuttle was successfully launched, the Orb Patrollers inside would turn into a cluster of blood mist, which would not help at all.
Hong Tong continued,
"Occult Orbs Fellowship has two launch bases and twelve launch platforms in total. But the largest of them only has a maximum distance of 5,700 lightyears to ensure the recovery of the Star Beasts.
"After Ultimacy was discovered, Occult Orbs Fellowship contacted the leadership of the world of Cultivators and the Federation. They reached a consensus immediately and decided to build the newest, largest, and farthest super teleportation array with all the resources available in the world of Cultivators.
"We call this teleportation formation the Heaven's Cannon!"
"Only with the Heaven's Artillery can we break the boundary between the three-dimensional space and the four-dimensional space, allowing us to travel nine thousand lightyears in the blink of an eye and appear on Ultimacy.
"Of course, even with the Heaven's Artillery. It is impossible to teleport too many people at the same time. The level of those who will be teleported must not be too high. You must've heard the analogy of pebbles and rocks before. "
Li Yao nodded his head.
Jin Dan and the Yuanying Cultivators were rocks that weighed tons.
Refinement Stage and Building Foundation Stage. They were pebbles that weighed dozens of kilograms.
Now that they had a crudely made catapult that had to throw rocks as far away as possible, they had no choice but to choose pebbles.
If they chose pebbles, not only would they not be able to throw them, the entire catapult might even be destroyed.
It meant that only Refinement Stage and Building Foundation Stage Cultivators were qualified to explore Ultimacy, which was nine thousand lightyears away from the Tian Yuan Realm and might contain planetary magical equipment!
Li Yao finally understood why everyone was so excited when they saw the picture. Their eyes were so hot that even their fingers were trembling.
Thinking for a moment, he continued asking,
"When will the first launch take place? How many people will be teleported?"
Hong Tong replied,
"The construction location and the construction period of the Heaven's Artillery are top secret. But according to our analysis, it won't take long. It will be completed by the end of this year at the latest. It will definitely be completed by the end of the year.
"Because not just us, the Blood Demon Sector must be building super teleportation arrays that can travel nine thousand lightyears, too. Let's see who's faster! "
"For that reason, three teleportation arrays in the No. 2 launch base have been dismantled. The crystal rails and all kinds of magical equipment that were dismantled have been added to the Heaven's Artillery, just so that we can get ahead of the Blood Demon Sector!
"As for the candidates, there won't be many. No matter how awesome the Heaven's Artillery is, it can only teleport dozens of people at a time. Six or seven Star Teams will be the best. "
Li Yao took a deep breath. He felt that his blood was running like a tide.
"Therefore. We have to make it to the top ten of the Rank of Stars before the end of the year, right? "
"Exactly!"
Hong Tong nodded his head firmly. "The exploration of the Occult Orbs has always been conducted by the strong ones first. Especially for Occult Orbs such as Ultimacy, where planetary magical equipment may be stored, there are no backdoors or considerations. It all depends on who is strong enough to go first!"
"Making it to the top ten of the Rank of Stars will prove that we are the strongest Building Foundation Stage Cultivators in the Heaven's Origin Sector. Only then will we be qualified to enter Ultimacy!"
Li Yao's eyes were blinking.
"But we don't know how many secret treasures are hidden in Ultimacy and how many benefits they can bring to us!"
Hong Tong smiled and said, "We haven't explored them yet.
Everything is just speculation. If there is planetary magical equipment, it may not be something that Building Foundation Stage Cultivators like us can wield easily. Besides, it is very likely that we will run into the elites of the demon clan in the Occult Orbs. Although demon emperors are limited by the distance and cannot be teleported, those who are qualified to enter Ultimacy must be the best of the silver-blood demons. Chances are that the princes of dozens of demon kingdoms will go there in person.
"Therefore, Occult Orbs Fellowship has been spreading the benefits of going to Ultimacy in private.
"It is said that the contribution points awarded for the exploration of Ultimacy are astronomical. Besides, before the exploration of Ultimacy, you will be given a lot of Cultivation arts and magical equipment. You may even be enlightened by Yuanying in person!
"It will not be a few hours of simple talk and enlightenment. It will be ten days to half a month where you will be living and eating together as if you are his personal disciple!"
Li Yao raised his eyebrows high, and his breath became scorching hot.
Ten days to half a month of careful enlightenment from Yuanying as if he were Yuanying's personal disciple?
How was that possible?
His first reaction was that it was a lie.
But on second thought, it did make sense.
The exploration of Ultimacy was probably related to the fate of human beings of the Heaven's Origin Sector.
If the skin is gone, where will the hair go? However strong Yuanying was, they would not be able to survive alone once the Xing Yao Federation was destroyed.
Besides, their families, descendants, and disciples were all here!
Since Yuanying was unable to explore the Occult Orbs in person, naturally, they hoped that those who went there would be as strong as possible!
For the future of human beings of the Heaven's Origin Sector, for themselves, for their families, and for their disciples, they would not be stingy with one or two Cultivation arts.
Although he had figured it out, what Hong Tong said next still shocked Li Yao greatly.
