"Imagine that you are the commander-in-chief of the Imperium of True Human Beings. You are on a perilous, pitch-black battlefield. Deep inside the battlefield, there are perilous peaks that soar into the sky, dangerous forests, and bottomless swamps. Everything is enshrouded in the dense fog of war.
"At this moment, a feeble light suddenly darted over from the horizon far away in the fog. It blinked and sent a message.
"You read the message and know that it was sent by a scout who had been out of touch for a long time. He told you that he had found a very valuable prey.
"However, before he could tell you the specific coordinates, the environment, and the status of the prey, the light died out and never came back.
"This is the situation that the Imperium of True Human Beings is faced with right now."
Li Yao nodded his head, deep in thought. It was true that the star child was the scout who had been killed by him before he could send more information.
Right now, the Imperium of True Human Beings only knew that there was a prey in this direction and how far away it was. It knew nothing else.
"As the commander-in-chief," Si Koulie continued, "you can summon an enormous expedition army and march there by 'parachuting'.
"But you know very well that 99.9% of the places around the prey are mountains, swamps, abysses, and deserts. Once your main troops' parachute 'into such places, they will be dead for sure. There will be no way for them to get out.
"Therefore, after much consideration, you decided to ask the expedition army to search for the prey in the regular way, bypassing all the dangerous areas.
"Such a plan is more time-consuming and troublesome. But it is safer than the previous one, and the possibility of total annihilation is avoided. "
Si Koulie's analogy was about the advantages and disadvantages of a super long-distance space jump and a short-distance space jump. His analysis was clear and concise.
He continued, "However, an expedition army of a large scale cannot be parachuted. Just because we can't 'parachute' there doesn't mean that one or two special forces soldiers and scouts with amazing skills can't 'parachute' there, right? "
"Before the army sets off, it is very common to ask a small team of 'special forces' to parachute to the enemy's vicinity and scout the environment."
Li Yao began to understand. "Alliance Leader Si. Are you suggesting that the minor apocalypse from the Imperium of True Human Beings is equivalent to a 'special agent' of the enemy who came to investigate in advance? "
"But I still don't understand. How can a 'heavenly tribulation' be able to space jump?"
Si Koulie said, "If the apocalypse is really a strike launched by a civilization against another civilization, then the nature and manifestation of the apocalypse will be unpredictable."
"Every Heavenly Tribulation is created in a different way and has different uses. Some Heavenly Tribulations focus on destruction, while others focus on infiltration. Some Heavenly Tribulations are good at sealing, and some Heavenly Tribulations are very fast. They can fly faster than light. Isn't that normal? "
"Even if they are from the same civilization. The Heavenly Tribulations created must be varied. It's just like you. It's impossible for you to carry only one type of bullet, right? "
Li Yao understood. Indeed, in terms of bullets, there were sniper bullets, armor-piercing bullets, and frost bullets. There were incendiary bombs … Every type of bullet had its own unique uses and abilities.
The types, characteristics, and uses of the heavenly tribulation. It would only be a thousand times, ten thousand times more powerful than a bullet.
Five thousand years ago … The apocalypse created by the Blood Stripe Virus focused on 'legacy' and 'destruction'. It was impossible to perform a space jump.
The minor apocalypse that the Imperium of True Human Beings launched was obviously focused on speed. It was not strange that it could perform a space jump.
"Chances are that the minor apocalypse this time is an upgraded version of the star child," Si Koulie said. "Although the Imperium of True Human Beings cannot teleport an entire fleet here, it won't be difficult for them to teleport another star child."
"An upgraded version of the star child?"
Li Yao shuddered.
"The Imperium of True Human Beings does not know our precise coordinates," Si Koulie said. "Therefore, the 'minor apocalypse' was only teleported to somewhere around the Flying Star Sector.
"However, it immediately sensed the dazzling fire caused by the collision between the Tian Yuan Realm and the Blood Demon Sector.
"Think about it. If you were in his shoes and 'parachuted' into a pitch-black battlefield to search for an enemy lurking in the dark," Meng Chao said.
"You don't know where the enemy is hiding, but a bright torch suddenly appears in front of you. What would you do?"
Li Yao took a deep breath and mumbled, "I'm afraid that I would go over and take a look first."
Si Koulie smiled bitterly and said, "That's what the enemy thought, too. Therefore, it passed by the Flying Star Sector and lunged at the Tian Yuan Realm and the Blood Demon Sector.
"According to our analysis, it is very likely that it calculated that the two Sectors boasted abundant spiritual energy based on the collision of the Heaven's Origin Sector and the Blood Demon Sector. Therefore, it could establish a new space gate with the spiritual energy so that the Heaven's Origin Sector and the Blood Demon Sector would be the platforms to attack the Flying Star Sector.
Li Yao was dazed. "Springboards?"
Si Koulie nodded. "Exactly. Perhaps, the apocalypse contained some sort of navigation magical equipment similar to a space gate. Once it absorbed abundant spiritual energy, it would be automatically unfolded. If so, the expedition army of the Imperium of True Human Beings would be able to jump to the Tian Yuan Realm and the Blood Demon Sector directly.
"From the perspective of the grand universe, the Tian Yuan Realm and the Flying Star Sector are only one step away from each other. Launching an attack on the Flying Star Sector with the Tian Yuan Realm as a springboard would be much better than crawling slowly for a hundred years."
Li Yao shuddered at the assumption.
Professor Mo Xuan smiled bitterly. "Perhaps, the minor apocalypse was simply attracted by the collision of the Heaven's Origin Sector and the Blood Demon Sector in the beginning. But after it discovered that there were a lot of living creatures in both the Heaven's Origin Sector and the Blood Demon Sector, the expedition army certainly changed its target and conquered the Heaven's Origin Sector and the Blood Demon Sector first.
Si Koulie sighed and said in a low voice, "Fellow Cultivator Mo, it was the Flying Star Sector that dragged the Tian Yuan Realm down and made you suffer such an undeserved disaster."
Professor Mo Xuan waved his hands and said solemnly, "The Tian Yuan Realm and the Flying Star Sector are only one step away from each other. Once the Flying Star Sector falls, the Tian Yuan Realm will not be able to escape. It is a common saying that the teeth will be interdependent if the lips are gone. It's just a matter of time. It's all the same. "
Li Yao looked at the glittering stars in the sky. Redness was vaguely flashing in his eyes. He asked solemnly, "Then, the minor apocalypse is estimated to be. How long will it take for it to reach the Tian Yuan Realm and the Blood Demon Sector? "
"The enemy arrived near the Flying Star Sector through a super long-distance space jump," Si Koulie said. "Then, it adjusted its direction through three short-distance space jumps and flew toward the Tian Yuan Realm and the Blood Demon Sector.
"At this moment, it was already at the end of its journey. It had been on a regular cruise and did not perform any space jumps. Perhaps, the four space jumps had already drained its fuel.
"According to the current speed, it will arrive at the Tian Yuan Realm and the Blood Demon Sector in five years!"
"Five years?"
Li Yao gnashed his teeth one after another, producing sparks. He swallowed the sparks one after another.
…
One month later, in the hall of the Meeting of the Next Millennium in Heavenly Saints City …
The leaders of all the Cultivation sects of the Flying Star Sector and the representatives of the ordinary people of the various space zones, altogether 12993 people, were gathered in the hall. They were casting a sacred vote on a proposal that would decide the future of the Flying Star Sector.
The proposal was: Should the Flying Star Sector rescue the Tian Yuan Realm at any cost?
It was a tough choice.
The Tian Yuan Realm was in a total war against the Blood Demon Sector. The capability of the two parties was on par. The Blood Demon Sector was even slightly better.
As the two Sectors completely melted, the final war was destined to break out. It had already broken out.
Even if the Tian Yuan Realm won the war, it would be a devastating victory.
As a result, it was very likely that the Flying Star Sector would not be able to resist the minor apocalypse that was about to come.
Unless the Flying Star Sector was united and sent out a large batch of reinforcements. They would give the Tian Yuan Realm a hand.
Defeat the demon race first, and then resist the apocalypse together!
There was no doubt about it. A war that spanned two Sectors would consume a lot of resources of the Flying Star Sector. Countless disciples of the Flying Star Sector would shed their blood in a foreign land, and their souls would perish in the sea of stars.
The Flying Star Sector had just recovered from the riot of the Immortal Cultivators that had lasted for eight years. It was just taking a breather. Such a decision made everybody deep in thought.
Li Yao was standing on a round lift. He was wearing a moon-white robe, with a Rising Dragon of the Nine Stars emblem on his chest.
It was the symbol of the Xing Yao Federation and the Tian Yuan Realm.
Behind him, lights and shadows were flashing, displaying tremendous information about the Tian Yuan Realm, including the major sects, iconic magical equipment, and super cities of the Tian Yuan Realm, as well as the people living in the cities, on the prairies, and in the villages. There was also the picture of an iron army charging at the beast tide under the guidance of the Rising Dragon of the Nine Stars flag.
"This is the Tian Yuan Realm, a barren, small world at the edge of the sea of stars.
"This is the Xing Yao Federation, a country that was built stubbornly in the plunder and slaughter of the demon race!
"For five hundred years, we built the Xing Yao Federation from a small tribe where the survivors huddled together for warmth into a powerful country that has spread to every corner of the Tian Yuan Realm.
"Every ordinary person and Cultivator is fighting bravely under the Rising Dragon of the Nine Stars flag and defending the glory of the civilization of mankind!
"Eight years ago, I was stranded in the Flying Star Sector. To my surprise, I discovered that, although this was a world entirely different from the Tian Yuan Realm, the same human beings lived here.
"The same hot blood flowed in our bodies. We believed in the same ideology. We stood for the same beliefs and defended the same glory!
"Right now, as a common Cultivator of the Heaven's Origin Sector, I beg all the fellow Cultivators of the Flying Star Sector to save the Heaven's Origin Sector, the Star Glory Federation, and the billions of people and compatriots living there!"
A friend asked in the book review section, "Hey, Heavenly King Yao Federation.
Why is your apocalypse so fast and so slow? Last time, the apocalypse of the Blood Stripe Virus was slow. Why is the apocalypse of the Imperium of True Human Beings so fast?
As for Old Cow, I've already explained it in the main text. Let me add a little more here.
Billions of civilizations and billions of apocalypses. The apocalypse launched by a silicon-based civilization is certainly different from the apocalypse launched by a civilization of energy that does not have a real entity!
Besides, the apocalypse had other uses.
The apocalypse of the Blood Stripe Virus contained the essence of the entire species. It did not know where it was going at all when it was looking for 'puppets'. Why was it running so fast? It could have just flown at sub-light speed. After all, for the Blood Stripe Virus, which was in the hibernation state, time was almost infinite.
If he really did a space jump and missed a world with life, what would he do?
The purpose of the apocalypse launched by the Imperium of True Human Beings was very clear. It was going to a certain place for reconnaissance. What was on the way? It was not important.
