Forty Millenniums of Cultivation

Chapter 3154: Intruder?

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Different arenas were equally splendid. The sixteen matches had just begun, but they were already a pleasant surprise for the audience, the citizens of the federation, and even the human beings far away in the imperium and the Holy Alliance.

It had never occurred to anyone that the capability of the strongest human beings would experience such drastic changes after only three years, which meant that the limits of the species of ‘human beings’ had been improved again. As long as they worked hard, everybody would be able to be like the super experts who could move mountains and overturn seas!

While the match continued, the organizer took the opportunity to hold press conferences and press conferences. One piece of revolutionary, cutting-edge technology after another, including the ancient legends of the Pioneer Civilization and the Primeval Civilization, spread out in the audience and on the network, laying a solid foundation for the final exposure of the ‘Flood—Super Body Civilization’.

In the seven days and seven nights that followed, human beings were all immersed in the surging tides. Their world view was shattered and reshaped time and time again. Even the dumbest and the most indifferent citizens realized that an unprecedented era of surging wind and thunder had gradually begun. From now on, whether they were willing or not, the people who had been lurking in the Pangu Universe for billions of years would resume the mission of the primeval era and march into the sea of the multiverse to face what they had been faced with all the time.

The future meeting was still ongoing.

There were too many things that needed to be discussed and announced. The congress that gathered the wisdom, strength, and hope of mankind would not be over until several months later.

Although it was already midnight, the headquarters of the Glorious Sunlight Group was still a brightly lit city. Several important friendly matches and exhibition matches of new war machines were still taking place in various venues.

Outside of the hall, two women were walking slowly one after another in a small garden.

It had been a long time since Ding Lingdang and Jin Xinyue, two competitors in a delicate relationship who were both enemies and friends, had gathered together and enjoyed peace and tranquility.

Ding Lingdang suddenly stopped.

In front of her, in the middle of the garden, stood a statue of Li Yao.

This was the headquarters of the Glorious Sunlight Group. As the founder of the group and a super hero of the federation, souvenirs related to Li Yao were everywhere in this place.

Ding Lingdang stared at the statue for a long time.

Jin Xinyue frowned, but she did not dare interrupt Ding Lingdang’s stare.

Ding Lingdang stared at him for a long time, her eyes slightly red. Suddenly, she laughed and shook her head. “No, no. When has Li Yao ever been so righteous and serious?”

Jin Xinyue was somewhat relieved. She said, “That’s right. When you were in the federation, you were carefree and happy all the time. Even when you were faced with the biggest problems, you hardly ever felt sad. I believe that you don’t want yourself or the people around you to be sad. It will be best if we face the biggest problems happily.”

“Yes, I know, I know…”

Ding Lingdang stared at the statue that didn’t look like Li Yao for a long time. Finally, she couldn’t help but reach out and brush off the dry leaves and fallen flowers on the statue’s shoulder. She said, “In fact, I don’t have anything to be sad about. Based on my life-and-death adventures with Li Yao and the intensity of our training by burning our souls time and time again, the two of us could have been killed at any moment. We are already very lucky to be alive and kicking for so long and to be able to stay by each other’s side at the last moment. Don’t you think so, Xinyue?”

Jin Xinyue opened her mouth, but she did not know what to say. Of course, she could not really say things like ‘yes, Master’s wife, you are already very lucky to be alive and kicking right now’.

“Over the past three years, I’ve slowly accepted the fact that ‘Li Yao has perished’. However, when I fought against Long Yangjun, the hateful woman, she said that Li Yao might not be dead yet.

Ding Lingdang hesitated for a moment before continuing, “The speaker may not mean it, but the listener will. Xinyue, don’t laugh at my imagination. Do you think your master is still alive?”

“Well…”

Jin Xinyue tilted her head and thought for a long time. Then she said carefully, “Strictly speaking, nobody saw that Master was really dead. There are only two points that everybody saw and inferred. Firstly, Master entered the ‘Rainbow Bridge’, a super teleportation array. His body and soul were fully charged and sent out of the Pangu Universe. His destination was probably the center of the Flood Tide—Earth. Secondly, in order to keep the information about the Pangu Universe from the enemy, Master chose to detonate his own soul and erase all the intelligence about him and the Flood Tide Warship. All the information was reset to zero.

“However, can information really be erased and returned to zero?

“The Dark Moon Foundation, as well as the Secret Sword Department, often searched for the crystal processors of their targets when they were collecting intelligence. Most of the time, when they felt that they were being targeted, they would destroy all the information stored in the crystal processors first. However, for the experts of crystal processors, they would leave a trace wherever they went. Any information that had existed in the past could never be ‘completely destroyed’ or erased. To recover the information, they simply had to ask ‘time, technology, and price’.

“As for Master’s situation, generally speaking, when a Cultivator detonates his soul, he is, of course, deader than a doornail. But there are exceptions. For example, Lu Qingchen during the final battle against the Fuxi Clan. The big devil gambled on his own soul, hoping that Fu Xi would interrupt his self-destruction and repair part of his soul fragments. In the end, he won the gamble!

“When you detonated your soul, Master, it happened to be the moment when the rainbow bridge was fully functioning and the super teleportation was activated. Did you start the teleportation only after you detonated your soul, or were some of the soul fragments sent over so that the self-destruction was not completed? I don’t know.”

“Which means—”

Ding Lingdang’s eyes were glittering. “You also think that your master might still be alive?”

“I really don’t know. I don’t even know whether I should hope that Master is still alive or not.

Jin Xinyue smiled bitterly. “From my perspective, of course, I hope that you can live to five hundred years old, Master. But if the scraps of your soul are not entirely gone and some information is still left, and the Flood Tide civilization learns of it, it will not be a good thing for the entire Pangu Universe.

“…Yes, you’re right.”

Ding Lingdang’s smile turned bitter, too. She lowered her voice and said, “That being said, I won’t let go of the only clue about ‘Earth’. Whether or not the Earth that Li Yao saw in the uncanny dream was the common origin of the super body civilization and the Primeval Civilization billions of years ago, I will go to the Earth and find out the truth one day. Even if I can’t find Li Yao’s soul pieces, I will at least fulfill his unfulfilled wish.

“Master’s wife, are you ready?”

“Destroy the Earth in your place, Master!” Jin Xinyue said.

“What is ‘ready’ for such a thing?

Ding Lingdang said, “Of course, I can’t wait to leave for Earth tomorrow. But there are limits to my recklessness. The federation and the Pangu Universe still have a lot of things to deal with, and our space jump technology can only be limited to the Pangu Universe. We haven’t reached the level where we can roam freely in the sea of the multiverse yet. The road ahead of us is slow. I’m afraid that we cannot set off without three to five hundred years of hard work. Three to five hundred years. Alas, three to five hundred years!”

Ding Lingdang’s fingers tightened and loosened.

Jin Xinyue was about to offer a few comforting words, when sharp alarms suddenly echoed around, no, inside, and outside of the headquarters of the Glorious Sunlight Group.

Ding Lingdang and Jin Xinyue were both high-level officials of the federation. Naturally, they knew what the alert meant. Judging from the rhythm and intensity, it was a warning of the highest intensity of an air attack, indicating that an unknown enemy with high-energy reactions had broken through the defense circle of the Heaven’s Origin Sector and was approaching the atmosphere. The defense fleet of the Heaven’s Origin Sector in the low-Earth orbit could not resist it at all!

However—

How was that possible?

Ding Lingdang and Jin Xinyue looked at each other in shock.

It was impossible for any enemy to attack the Heaven’s Origin Sector at this moment, at least not in the Pangu Universe.

Although the ‘Future Meeting’ was held in the headquarters of the Glorious Sunlight Group, it was merely a memorial for Li Yao, who had perished three years ago.

Even with the size and capability of the Glorious Sunlight Group, it was too much of a stretch to hold a meeting that would determine the future of the civilization of mankind.

The meeting was co-hosted by the leadership of the Star Glory Federation, the Imperium of True Human Beings, and the Holy Accord Alliance. Other than everything else, the arrival of the emperor and the queen mother of the Imperium of True Human Beings in the capital city of the Star Glory Federation for the first time, together with the arrival of the mysterious leader of the Sanctuary, was more than enough for them to bring their own forces, and the federation would have to deploy more elites to guard and alert them.

What was displayed in the meeting in the future were the cutting-edge achievements that the civilization of mankind had made in the past three years. The top 500 experts of the three major forces, as well as the powerful Pangu Clan and the Nuwa Clan, were all here.

Today, the Heaven’s Origin Sector was literally ‘a forest of experts and a storm of warriors’. There were as many marvelous weapons as there were hairs on a cow. The ultimate war machines could be found everywhere. Even the defense of the low-Earth orbit had been entrusted to the Burning Prairie Fleet and the Kunlun Fleet.

The Burning Prairie Fleet and the Kunlun Fleet were both deep-space fleets that could march across thousands of space zones and fight alone for three to five years to protect a small planet. Even the capital planet of the federation would be too wasteful.

Under such a tight defense, how could the enemy have snuck into the inner part of the orbital ring without alarming anyone? What were the two fleets of Prairie Fire and Kunlun doing exactly?

Ding Lingdang and Jin Xinyue raised their heads subconsciously and looked at the mysterious night sky.

In the night sky, a deep blue star was glittering like a blossoming orchid.
