Li Yao found it hard to imagine how miserable, painful, and desperate Ba Yanzhi must have been when his cells collapsed into a pot of dirty 'gene soup' and he could only hide twenty thousand meters below the ground.
If it were Li Yao himself, the thought of it would have been enough to drive him crazy.
Even so, Ba Yanzhi did not give up his resistance. He engraved his feelings after he drank the 'Divine Water of Kunlun' in tiny words on the wall of the secret chamber, hoping to inspire his descendants.
While the soldiers of the Nether World Watch scanned the words, Li Yao took the opportunity to read all the content and memorize it.
Ba Yanzhi's style of writing was highly reminiscent of the ancient Cultivators. Modern demons and Cultivators might not be able to analyze it immediately, but Li Yao saw through it after a quick glance.
Also, after receiving Ba Yanzhi's memory legacy, he had learned a lot from it and grasped a lot of things.
Senior Ba Yanzhi, your ambition has not been realized yet!
Li Yao remarked with mixed feelings. His thoughts drifted to somewhere far away.
After Ba Yanzhi turned into 'Chaos', it was obvious that he was still resisting and causing a lot of trouble for the Ultimate One Demons.
According to the history books of the Xing Yao Federation, forty thousand years ago, after the world of Cultivators collapsed, the demons had a civil war that lasted hundreds of years for the control of the three thousand Sectors, too.
'Skeleton Dragon', the ancient ferocious demon that Li Yao had met on Boneyard, was one of the competitors at that time.
Now that he thought about it, the so-called civil war was probably between the 'Chaos Demons' and the 'Ultimate One Demons'. Judging from Skeleton Dragon's appearance, it was very likely that it was a general of the 'Chaos Demons' or the 'Ultimate One Demons'. It was even a certain powerful experimental weapon that had gone out of control for some reason, such as the destruction of the 'Chaos Demons', and had formed its own system.
After Ba Yanzhi's demise, the Ultimate One Demons naturally won the civil war. They established an enormous empire of demon beasts. In the Age of Doom, when spiritual energy was running dry. They ruled the universe for thirty thousand years.
After such a long time, the Ultimate One Demons gradually evolved into the saint-blood demons and the silver-blood demons. They continued their extravagant, tyrannical life. The mortals in the past, on the other hand, had been modified into bronze-blood demons and black-blood demons to mine, farm, and fight.
When such a system was developed to the extreme, it would be the Pantheon of Demons and the Four Pillars System. They claimed that every Shifter was born and destined. Sacred Blood would always be Sacred Blood. Enjoyment was their natural benefit. Black Blood would always be Black Blood. Enslavement was their eternal fate. No one could resist!
Unfortunately, a lie was still a lie. No matter how different their appearances were, they were still human. They were all people who had undergone genetic modification and displayed different cell characteristics.
Therefore, demons of different classes could mate and give birth to offspring. The offspring would have a lot of different genetic features inside their bodies, which would conflict with each other and might reveal the original appearance of the cells. They might even trigger greater strength and reveal the lies of the saint-blood demons. A threat to the rule of the saint-blood demons.
That was why the 'hybrids' were known as' chaotic-blood demons' and the filthiest untouchables!
"Such a reign. Horrifying. Too horrifying! "
Li Yao's chest was moving up and down. The history of forty thousand years was condensed into a sharp longsword that cut open the mist that was haunting his brain and made him think of a new question.
"Are the saint-blood demons really extinct?"
According to the history books of the Xing Yao Federation and the Flying Star Sector. After the Star Ocean Imperium was established, the Supreme Emperor led the army to fight in all directions and uprooted the saint-blood demons in every Sector. In the end, all the saint-blood demons were wiped out!
But right now, Li Yao had new suspicions.
"As the saying goes, even a broken boat has three nails. The saint-blood demons must've accumulated the wealth of the three thousand Sectors after ruling the sea of stars for thirty thousand years. They must've left enormous legacies.
"Despite the changes of dynasties and the astronomical Cultivation arts and Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, it's impossible for them to all disappear!
"With such tremendous resources under their control, the experts of the saint-blood demons must've been innumerable. Why did the saint-blood demons seem to have been defeated so easily when the Star Ocean Imperium rose, allowing the Supreme Emperor to unite the universe in only a few hundred years?
"Is it possible?"
Li Yao thought of a terrible possibility and felt cold all over his body.
"The Cultivators of the Ultimate One Sect in the past, the Ultimate One Demons later, and the saint-blood demons later, were not actually extinct?
"Just like the leader of the Ultimate One Sect said, forty thousand years ago, it was the Age of Doom when spiritual energy was running dry. The old ways of training and life forms were no longer suitable for the environment. Only by evolving into a new form and adopting a new training system could they survive in a world where spiritual energy was running dry and resources were scarce!
"After more than thirty thousand years of rest, the spiritual energy in the sea of stars gradually grew denser again. The black-blood demons at the bottom of the hierarchy sacrificed countless lives for the modification. The desolate worlds that had been smashed into ruins by the ancient Cultivators in the past were thriving again.
"Naturally, the rulers had to evolve again into a life form that was more suitable for the new world!
"Therefore, the saint-blood demons were not extinct at all. They only felt that the potential of the 'demon race' had been exploited and that they were no longer suitable for the environment. Therefore, they resorted to a 'cicada shedding its shell' and turned into human beings again, or even … a life form that was even stronger!
"If you think about it carefully, it is very possible.
"The rise of the Star Ocean Imperium was a flash in the pan. Its heyday lasted only a hundred years before it collapsed after a failed great expedition. Also, too many mysteries are involved in the 'great expedition'. It can't be more uncanny!"
"Who can say for sure that the saint-blood demons were not fanning the flames in secret?
"Perhaps, the chaotic world after the collapse of the Star Ocean Imperium was the best 'petri dish' for the saint-blood demons to continue their 'evolution'!
"Although the saint-blood demons no longer exist in the universe today, the 'winners' that the leader of the Ultimate One Sect mentioned were not missing at all. Are the Immortal Cultivators of the Imperium of True Human Beings any different from the saint-blood demons?"
For a moment, in front of Li Yao, the leader of the Ultimate One Demons wearing the dragon scale armor gradually overlapped with Xiao Xuance's image. He put on a gloating smile at Li Yao.
"In this world, there is no distinction between human beings and demons, deities and devils. There are only winners and losers!
"You are all ants!"
Li Yao only felt that the blood in his chest was gushing to the top of his head, as if it was going to open a fountain on his forehead. He was suffocated to the extreme. With a low roar, he suddenly struggled and actually jumped out of the seven to eight meters deep sand!
"Hu!"
Li Yao lay on the desert with his arms and legs crossed, looking at the starry sky.
The universe was vast, and the bloody moon was hideous.
Perhaps, deep inside the boundless universe, the Ultimate One Demons in the past had established an enormous force that was different on the surface but exactly the same on the inside with a brand-new appearance!
Perhaps, the force was swallowing the infinite sea of stars and infecting the entire universe like a tumor and a virus!
Li Yao watched and thought in silence. His eyes of different colors were burning with the same scorching fire.
He suddenly rose to his feet and placed the crystal brain that stored Ba Yanzhi's telepathic thoughts on the desert. Then, he fell on his knees and kowtowed to the Hidden Star Box three times respectfully.
Li Yao did not know why he was doing that, either.
Perhaps, it was because of Ba Yanzhi's hilarious dream that 9,999 people out of ten thousand would be able to eat their fill!
"Senior Ba, thank you. With your enlightenment, I finally know what I should do!"
Li Yao mumbled to himself. The flames bouncing deep inside his eyes gradually condensed into two sharpness. "Forty thousand years ago, many innocent ordinary people were deceived and transformed into demons. Right now, the universe is stabilizing, the spiritual energy is getting denser, and the environment is not as harsh as it used to be!
"The Age of Doom is over. I will restore the ordinary people to their original appearances!
"Since Jin Xinyue can turn into a human being from a demon, other demons must be able to do it, too!
"Let's leave the silver-blood demons who boast about their noble bloodlines aside for now. I will not tolerate a human being who is forcibly modified into a giant bug that cannot talk or think and crawls on the ground!"
Taking a deep breath, Li Yao's face was solemn, but his eyes suddenly froze.
Wait. Blood Moon?
"I've been lying here for twelve hours!"
Li Yao jumped to his feet.
He had only intended to get a basic understanding of the Hidden Star Box. He did not know that the Hidden Star Box was so powerful that he had been in the deep meditation state for an entire day.
He did not know what was going on with Elder Nether Spring and the Fire Ant.
Thinking of Elder Nether Spring, Li Yao suddenly thought of something.
He finally understood what Elder Nether Spring was looking for at all the trouble.
Elder Nether Spring was not a historian. The origin of the demon race was not worth his time and resources.
What he was looking for was the star map of 'Kunlun'!
"Elder Nether Spring's purpose is the Kunlun Warship. He wants the Kunlun Warship. He believes that the Kunlun Warship can help him realize the rise of the 'third life form'!"
Li Yao felt that his body was burning, and his mouth was dry. According to Ba Yanzhi's memory pieces, the Kunlun Warship was buried, or rather, crashed somewhere in the Blood Demon Sector.
Even if it was not on the Blood Demon Sector, it must be a planet, a satellite, or a world fragment nearby!
Judging from the research projects in the Mausoleum of Chaos, the Kunlun Warship was indeed hiding a lot of mysteries. Many of its technologies were much more advanced than those of the Heaven's Origin Sector, the Blood Demon Sector, and the Flying Star Sector.
"I only wanted to end the war between the Heaven's Origin Sector and the Blood Demon Sector as soon as possible so that I could focus on dealing with the vanguard of the Imperium of True Human Beings.
"However, judging from the terrifying strength that the star child demonstrated, even if the Heaven's Origin Sector, the Blood Demon Sector, and the Flying Star Sector join hands, they might not be a match for the vanguard of the Imperium of True Human Beings.
"Even if the vanguard is defeated, when the expedition fleet of the Imperium of True Human Beings arrives a hundred years later, we will certainly be killed!
"Kunlun! Kunlun is our only hope!
