Chapter 1911: Astonishing Last Words!

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Li Yao estimated that when the battle on the planet of the Ancient Sages Sector took place, the civil war between the Pangu Clan and the Nuwa Clan had already reached the middle or last phase. Both parties had realized that there would be no winner in the war and that it would very likely lead to the destruction of two powerful civilizations. Everything that happened in the Pangu laboratory was almost an epitome for the entire war.

The offspring who entered the dark nebula hundreds of thousands of years later would not necessarily be their own kind or successors whose bloodlines were connected to them. It was far more likely that they would be a bizarre alien civilization, one that they had never seen before.

Therefore, when the two of them left their ‘last words’, they had to leave a decryption method that was similar to a ‘dictionary’. As long as the civilization of the visitors had reached a certain level, it would be possible for the visitors to learn and parse the information.

“Do we know what information the two commanders have left right now?” Li Yao asked in the communication channel.

“Yes, we do. We had a lot of decryption methods to crack the primeval information in the first place, which allowed us to more or less figure out some critical information,” the linguistics expert replied in excitement. “Right now, with the two ‘dictionaries’ to explain the information from a different perspective, not only is it possible to decipher the two parts of information, a lot of enigmatic and ambiguous information we knew before can also be cracked!

“Wait a moment. We are doing our best to unravel the mysteries of the two ‘dictionaries’ and analyze the two information clouds according to their guidance. Give us half an hour or maybe just ten minutes…”

The linguist’s voice faded out as he was completely devoted to the mysterious, unpredictable world of ancient languages.

“Can we go in for exploration now?” Meng Chixin asked solemnly in the communication channel.

Li Yao thought for a moment and said, “We have fully scanned the warehouse of embryos and the control center and did not find any fatal traps, right?”

“Right.”

“There are no giant crabs lurking in the darkness in the ‘spore state’ or any zombies, beasts, or monsters that seem still but can be revived and jump on people at any moment, right?” Li Yao asked.

“No,” Meng Chixin said. “If there are any, we will certainly blow up their heads first before we investigate them.”

“And there are no rune arrays that seem very weird and can possibly detonate the entire Pangu laboratory the moment you touch it?”

“…Are you being too prudent, Fellow Cultivator Li? An unprecedently appalling battle took place here hundreds of thousands of years ago. This place was buried at the end in a hurry. Even if there were any fatal traps, they should’ve been activated back then, shouldn’t they?

“Besides, the beast puppets and Grand Illusionary Soldiers of the federation have indeed scrutinized every corner of the laboratory. They have confirmed without a doubt that there is nothing wrong with this place. You should know it better than me.”

“Once bitten, twice shy,” Li Yao said. “I do not want to be so paranoid, but… Why don’t I go in alone first to check so that nobody else will be affected even if anything goes wrong?”

“Hehe. Ask other people to stay here first. The ten peak experts above the high level of the Nascent Soul Stage will go in with you!” Meng Chixin snorted. “We have searched the place completely dozens of times and found nothing abnormal at all. Even if there are any traps here, with more than ten Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators and Divinity Transformation Stage Cultivators here who are all armed with Colossi, what can they do about us?”

“Would—Would you please stop talking like that?” Li Yao stammered. “I’ve noticed this ominous feeling that’s getting stronger and stronger after hearing that!”

Despite Li Yao’s declaration, it was naturally impossible for Li Yao to explore the place alone.

The result of their final discussion was that six experts and six Colossi would stay outside on alert while Li Yao, Meng Chixin, Yan Liren, Wan Mingzhu, and Master Bitter Cicada went inside to investigate with abundant Grand Illusionary Soldiers.

Meng Chixin and Wan Mingzhu were both spectral Cultivators who were not vulnerable to the genetic mutation drugs. Yan Liren had the highest combat ability, and Master Bitter Cicada had the firmest soul. Together with Li Yao, they made the perfect team.

The five Colossi moved in the middle of the ‘high trees’ inside the warehouse of embryos while the dark red culture cabins dangling from the branches on their two sides released vague, creepy auras.

Observing the individuals of the Pangu Clan who were changing into the form of human beings at a close distance, Li Yao had a very weird feeling.

When they stepped into the control center in the back, the remains of the two commanders had entirely cracked into scattered bones.

The colorful flowery stripes on the bones of the commander of the Nuwa Clan and the geometric patterns on the Pangu commander could still vaguely be seen, but they were perishing quickly, enshrouded in vague smoke.

Even the black cubes floating in midair filled with green circuits, which were the crystal processors of the Pangu Clan, seemed to have run out of the last bit of their strength. They dimmed, died out, and fell to the ground, turning into common rocks.

I wonder, what kind of secrets are kept in the information that the two warriors have carefully preserved for hundreds of thousands of years at the cost of their entire life and soul?

Naturally, Li Yao was more interested in the Nuwa Clan. After all, it was the Nuwa Clan who liberated human beings in the beginning. Standing in front of the ashes of the Nuwa commander in mixed feelings, he bowed in respect.

Right then, the voice of the linguist of primeval languages echoed in the communication channel, “Thirty percent of the information cloud left by the Nuwa commander has been cracked. Although most of the details were lost during the decryption, the central information should be enough to convey the complete meaning.”

Li Yao, Meng Chixin, and the rest of them were all refreshed and asked at the same time, “What was said exactly?”

“Feelings, desires, and free will are above life, above everything, and above the entire universe. They are the most precious things that are worth fighting for no matter what the cost is,” the linguist said drily. “We are the Nuwa civilization. ‘Freedom’ is our highest belief. But the Pangu Civilization, our enemy, intends to remove feelings, suppress desires, and destroy freedom, which is something we absolutely cannot tolerate.

“Future generations, if you read the message, please inherit our last will. Destroy the foul base, and continue fighting for freedom. Do not let the Pangu Civilization confine the entire universe!

“Well, those were basically the last words of the member of the Nuwa Clan. Of course, the original text has more content and contains the specific mission as well as the introduction to the entire civilization. However, none of the things were left with words and syntaxes that mankind can comprehend. They were written in a highly-compressed information architecture. Perhaps we can only expect to read it after we grow a tail like the Nuwa Clan.”

That was enough.

Their previous speculation was indeed correct. The Nuwa Civilization was a noble species who fought for freedom, whereas the Pangu Civilization was a cruel species who eradicated emotions and worshipped absolute control. The two parties had an ultimate war that involved all three thousand Sectors on the issue of ‘freedom’ and ‘control’!

Li Yao, Meng Chixin, Yan Liren, Wan Mingzhu, and Master Bitter Cicada were all awed by the lofty ideology of the Nuwa Civilization. They bowed again in respect and thought to themselves,?Rest assured. The civilization of mankind will certainly carry on the last will of the Nuwa Civilization and spray ‘freedom’ to every corner of the infinite sea of stars!

“Wait. Part of the Pangu commander’s information cloud has been deciphered, too. Some of the broken information is understandable now.” The linguist sounded rather weird. “The theory in his ‘last words’ seems… different from what the Nuwa commander says.”

It was only natural. After all, nobody would consider themselves to be on the side of evil. Glancing at the ashes of the Pangu commander not far away, Li Yao asked, “What did the Pangu commander say?”

“The universe needs order. Infinitely expanding desires, too intense emotions, and absolute freedom will only destroy the universe as well as all the civilizations in it.”

Imitating the tranquil, cold, and heartless voice of the Pangu Clan, the linguist said, “For countless years, we have been fighting the—there is a messy, pointy symbol here that represents the being of eternal disorder, extreme mayhem, and destructive strength. According to the extension of the word, it can be translated as ‘chaos’ or ‘extraterrestrial devils’. What should we call it?”

Li Yao thought for a moment and said, “Let’s call it chaos.”

“For countless years,” the linguist continued coldly, “we have been fighting the ‘chaos’ in the universe and trying to maintain the balance in the universe, not allowing it to destroy the universe.

“We used to think that we had destroyed the ‘chaos’ that savaged the entire universe and that peace had arrived. But it was just the beginning of a scheme and ultimate destruction.

“‘Chaos’ was never destroyed. They corrupted the Nuwa Clan, the youngest member in the Pangu Civilization. After crawling into the vulnerable brains and the juvenile souls of the Nuwa Clan, they transformed all the members of the Nuwa Clan into the most ambitious, violent, and cruel beings while we did not know the first thing about it.

“The Nuwa Clan, who had fallen into darkness, fooled us and tricked us into implementing an evil plan, making us devote abundant resources of the entire civilization to the invention of—the meaning of the word here is rather ambiguous. It could mean excellent, cheap, efficient and promising, or highly fertile. All in all, a powerful ‘tool’ or ‘carrier’.

“The Nuwa Clan claimed that we had absolute control over the ‘tool’. In the years at the beginning, we indeed established a peaceful and harmonious order in an even vaster universe with the help of the ‘tool’. But we did not know that the ‘tool’ had been implanted with the seed of ‘chaos’ before they were born, which turned them into beings that were more ambitious, unrestrained, fervent, and spontaneous than the Nuwa Clan. They were ‘human beings’, the purest warriors of chaos, and the God of Destruction’s projections in the three-dimensional universe!”
