As the star child roared, the entire universe trembled. Every star was like a rushing shooting star, congregating into an overwhelming torrent of information that penetrated through everyone's body!
"Ahhhhhhh!"
Li Yao's face was hideous. He felt that every cell in his body was filled with overlapping scenes!
He seemed to see great cities rising from the ground in metal colors, crystal warships being refined from the keel to the shell, and countless strong, cold-faced experts receiving the harshest training!
There were also battles of conquest and slaughter. Endless amounts of blood gathered together, enough to extinguish a star!
In such a way, the star child poured the history of the establishment and expansion of the Imperium of True Human Beings into the souls of Li Yao and the six Yuanying Cultivators.
The Empyreal Terminus Sector was the center of the civilization of mankind. It was also the world with the most Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, resources, and spiritual energy.
Although it had been shattered by the Supreme Emperor and the Mad Armageddon ten thousand years ago, the super fleets commanded by the two parties had fought fiercely in this place, resulting in an ancient battlefield that was a hundred times more abundant than the Flying Star Sector!
For the next ten thousand years, humans, demons, heavenly demons, and alien races fought over the resources of this place. They even fought over the various treasures left behind by the former Emperor and Mad Armageddon. They even fought over the legendary mausoleum of the former Emperor.
The Imperium of True Human Beings, which was born in ten thousand years of bloody battles, was nurtured by infinite killing intent. It was colder, more ruthless, and more ruthless than any civilization of mankind in the past.
The Imperium of True Human Beings had been expanding very fast. In only a few hundred years, it had almost covered the prosperous areas of the Star Ocean Imperium in the past. Then, through the Starseeker, he extended his tentacles in all directions to even more remote worlds.
Countless Greater Worlds. They surrendered under the glory of the Imperium and provided endless resources, magical equipment, and warriors for the Imperium. Nurtured by those worlds, the Imperium of True Human Beings was growing larger and larger like a snowball. Its capability was expanding exponentially!
The so-called Star Seeker was a very special profession for Immortal Cultivators. It was somewhat like a combination of astronomers and historians.
On one hand, they could use the most advanced astronomical magical equipment to explore and search for new space zones. On the other hand, they were familiar with all kinds of ancient books and could find ancient data that was as vast as smoke. Find traces of a certain Greater Thousand World and determine the general location of this world.
Through the unremitting efforts of the star seekers, one lost Sector after another was rediscovered. Their precise coordinates were determined, too. The expedition army of the Imperium of True Human Beings immediately set off and jumped to those Sectors to promote the glory and strength of the Imperium!
However, such an approach was only applicable to the prosperous areas of the Star Ocean Imperium.
For those distant and unreachable border worlds billions of light years away. The abilities of the Star Searchers and the probe magical equipment were already beyond their capability.
The sea of stars was vast, and the universe was boundless. Only one in a billion of these star regions could sustain life.
To make an enormous expedition army appear billions of lightyears away through space jumps would consume astronomical spiritual energy.
Despite the magnificence of the Imperium of True Human Beings, it was impossible for an expedition army to wander in the boundless sea of stars like headless flies before the precise coordinates were discovered.
It was not easy to teleport a fleet. It was also difficult to teleport a piece of probe magical equipment. In fact, during a space jump … Even if he carried just one more gram of material, he would have to burn all the crystals in the valley.
In order to explore the edge of the cosmos far away from the Imperium of True Human Beings … The Immortal Cultivators came up with a lot of uncanny approaches.
In one of the plans, they even took the brains of human beings out of their bodies directly. They put the brains into the special probe magical equipment and performed a space jump.
Only the brains were teleported. In such a case, the weight of the brain would be reduced to the minimum.
However, even a brain weighed one to two thousand grams, and to discover a Greater Thousand World inhabited by humans, one might have to make hundreds or thousands of jumps.
Such a search that was like searching for a needle in a haystack consumed too many resources. It was especially so when the territory of the Imperium was constantly expanding. After the more eye-catching Sectors were discovered, it was even more difficult to find the rest of the Sectors.
After almost a hundred years of research, the specialists of the Imperium of True Human Beings finally found the most convenient and cheapest way to explore the universe.
Even the brains were not teleported but only the souls!
That was how the 'star child' was born.
Every star child used to be a star seeker with a very high Cultivation. They had dedicated their entire life to the sea of stars. When they were old and feeble, their souls couldn't have been more powerful!
At that moment, by extracting their souls from their bodies with secret arts and removing the miscellaneous memories and unnecessary feelings, and refining them together with the purest souls of hundreds of babies, there was a chance that a special type of spectral Cultivator, who would be the star child, would be produced!
The star child's tenacity was a hundred times higher than that of regular spectral Cultivators. They were not scared of the severe side effects of 'breaking the void'. They could also absorb the power of the stars and sustain themselves for a long time.
The star child was essentially a ghost without any weight. Therefore, at the cost of minimal spiritual energy, they could jump dozens of space zones in the blink of an eye and search for the traces of the civilization of mankind.
Once they locked onto a new civilization of mankind, they would observe it in silence for a while, record the features of the star beacons of the new civilization, and return to the Imperium of True Human Beings.
Then, the expedition army of the Imperium would set off and arrive at the new civilization thunderously!
It was exactly how the Imperium expanded.
Li Yao was trembling all over.
There was no telling whether it was because of fear or fury.
He had heard countless seniors talking about the brutality of the demons and the extraterrestrial devils.
But it had never occurred to him that a country of human beings could be so inhumane that they would kill hundreds of babies just to create a 'star child' just to explore more space zones and expand their territory!
No, this was only the final "finished product". Before this plan succeeded, who knew how many innocent babies had been sacrificed to carry out such a terrible experiment?!
Around Li Yao, scarlet flames burned the black liquids that were crawling onto his body into ashes!
"Don't judge the Imperium of True Human Beings with your boring 'morality' and 'mercy'. We have no other choice in the ten thousand years of bloody battles! If we had hesitated and been as soft-hearted as before, we would've been annihilated a long time ago! "
The star child said coldly. "For the continuity of the civilization of mankind, every human being is responsible for sacrifices. It is exactly because of the sacrifices of countless people that the Imperium has expanded so fast!
"It is a pity that I was not very lucky. After a super long-distance space jump, although I found the Flying Star Sector, a prosperous world of human beings, I encountered a cosmic storm of an unprecedented scale.
"That was a hundred and twenty years ago."
A cosmic storm of an enormous scale a hundred and twenty years ago?
Li Yao immediately recalled the storm that Xiao Xuance and Bai Xinghe encountered.
"At that time," the star child said, "I had just crossed a distance of billions of lightyears, and my soul was more feeble than ever. There was no way for me to resist such a violent storm. In the overwhelming radiation and electromagnetic tides, my soul was shattered. I lost 99% of my soul power and computational ability. The connection with the Imperium of True Human Beings was cut off, too, and I was on the verge of destruction.
"Right when I was about to perish, I discovered two crystal warships that were attacking each other. Later, I learned that the captain of one of the crystal warships was named Xiao Xuance, a young Cultivator with a bright future in the world of Cultivators in the Flying Star Sector."
What happened next was very simple.
The star child lost 99% of his soul power and could not return to the Imperium of True Human Beings.
The development of the Flying Star Sector, on the other hand, far exceeded his imagination. It seemed that the apocalypse five thousand years ago had brought new vitality to the Flying Star Sector when it almost destroyed the world. The Flying Star Sector, which had survived the apocalypse, had a different style from other Sectors.
The star child snuck into Xiao Xuance's crystal warship. He was a high-level Cultivator with a very high computational ability in the first place. For reconnaissance purposes, he had also practiced a lot of secret arts to control the soul. Also, Xiao Xuance had just completed the metamorphosis of the 'dark forest'. His mind was not steady, and his brain was not stable.
He planted a seed named 'Imperium of True Human Beings' in Xiao Xuance's brain more than easily.
In the decades that followed, the star child lurked in darkness, nursing his body and strengthening his soul power.
With his help, Xiao Xuance rose higher and higher until he became the leader of the Feathered Snakes Brotherhood.
The 'Second Imperium' and the 'Temple of Immortals' were both taking shape.
Finally, when the star child's capability was recovered to a certain extent, he carefully selected an idiot with Down syndrome and possessed him.
Children with Down syndrome were born with incomplete souls. The odds of successful possession were very high. The star child succeeded in the first attempt.
Then, he manipulated Xiao Xuance to adopt the idiot as his son and began to develop the 'star brain'. In fact, he was trying to expand his computational ability to the maximum with countless crystal processors.
Then, he met Xiao Xuance on the Spiritual Nexus as the Sea King and guided him to establish the Second Imperium, the Temple of Immortals, and the Grand Illusionary Soldier Project.
Because of the 'seed' that he had planted a long time ago, Xiao Xuance knew nothing about everything. He believed from the bottom of his heart that he was the founder of the Imperium of True Human Beings.
"If Xiao Xuance's' New Era Plan 'had worked out, we would've been able to transform the Flying Star Sector into the Imperium in a hundred years and provide incessant resources and soldiers for the Imperium. The expedition army of the Imperium would've been unnecessary.
"It's a pity that he failed.
"It doesn't matter. Although Xiao Xuance failed, the seven of you are still here.
"Among the seven of you, there are elders and experts who can represent the six sects of Heavenly Saints City, as well as the real controller of the Glorious Sunlight Group and the best warrior of the six tribes of Iron Plateau!
