Forty Millenniums of Cultivation

Chapter 2660: Born for Conquest!

“Then...”

Li Yao finally realized it. “The Blood God was lost and degenerated into the Mad Armageddon!”

“No, he was not lost. It was his nature and his setting when he was ‘created’.”

Wuying Qi 3.0 said, “You should know that the Blood God was not a natural-born human, but a clone that the Supreme Emperor made with 100% of his own genes. Then, the Supreme Emperor inculcated the need for exploration and conquest as well as the destructive part of his personality into the head of this clone.

“The Blood God was born for war. War was his destiny. He was a commander, a general, a sergeant, and a most distinguished soldier. He was destined to fight until the end of the world!

“However, the Star Ocean Imperium had already been established, and Type-II Humans were being crushed and would be eliminated soon. Nothing could stop their final failure. So, the Blood God was faced with a cruel question.

“If all the enemies were destroyed and the whole universe was explored and conquered, mankind would embrace at least thousands of years of peace. In such a case, what was the point of his life? Why should he live?

“For a soldier who was addicted to war, adept at war, and had nothing but war in his life, peace was intolerable. Before he discovered the secrets of the Nuwa Clan and the extraterritorial devils murmured to him, he was ready to be killed by the last bullet in the last battle, which would be the best ending for him.

“However, the gate to the infinite universes beyond the black wall was opened. Treasures were calling him in the fog at the end of the road. For a war maniac like the Blood God, how could he not embark on the journey?”

Li Yao took a long breath. “Then, the Blood God betrayed the Supreme Emperor.”

“No, not yet.”

Wuying Qi 3.0 said, “Since the Supreme Emperor decided to create twenty clones and appoint the strongest of them as the commander of the expedition army, he certainly had his way to control the clones and ensure their loyalty. At that time, the Blood God’s ambitions hadn’t corrupted his loyalty yet. He reported all his findings to the Supreme Emperor and asked the Supreme Emperor to continue the expedition toward the outer lands after the remaining demons were wiped out.

“Civilization originated from war and cannot exist without war. Eternal peace will only lead to eternal corruption. Only continuous explorations and conquests can empower and reinvigorate a civilization so that it will live forever!

“That’s how the Blood God pleaded with the Supreme Emperor. He requested to lead the expedition army forward after the remaining demons were eliminated. If the Star Ocean Imperium did not have enough wealth to support an enormous expedition army, he could explore the outer lands with half of the fleet, or one tenth of the fleet, or even only one starship by himself. He could sail to the splendid grand universe on a ship alone across the black wall and seek a way out for mankind!”

Even though it was the notorious Blackstar the Great telling a story of the Blood God who was even more notorious, Li Yao was still deeply shocked.

One ship to seek a way out for the civilization of mankind through the black wall!

Fight relentlessly even if doom was right ahead, until one was killed by the last bullet on the final battleground!

“Did the Supreme Emperor accept the Blood God’s request?”

Li Yao asked a question whose answer he knew.

Back at the summit of the eccentrics of the Pangu Universe, he had discussed the problem with Boss Bai and Long Yangjun.

If a Flood that swallowed infinite civilizations were lurking beyond the black wall, one starship that went out was enough to expose all the information about the Pangu Universe, which would be the end for all the creatures in the Pangu Universe.

To prevent such a possibility, the Pangu Clan destroyed their advanced cyber technologies and wiped out their feelings, desires, and curiosity!

So, why would the Supreme Emperor permit the Blood God’s reckless move?

“Of course not. The Blood God’s demand could not be satisfied. You must consider the state of the Supreme Emperor back then.”

Wuying Qi 3.0 said, “The Supreme Emperor is definitely a great hero. We, the Immortal Cultivators, acknowledge him as the founder of the modern civilization too. However, in his age, to overthrow the tyranny of demons, the Supreme Emperor adopted quite a lot of cruel and even extreme methods.

“The darkness in the Supreme Emperor’s complicated personality corroded his heart on his way of assuming power, making him vacillate between a saint and a tyrant.

“To prevent himself from being swallowed by darkness, he split twenty different personalities with unparalleled techniques and injected the extreme and emotional ones into his clones. So, the main personality left in him was a perfect leader who was absolutely calm, rational, and considered for the big picture.

“Since the Supreme Emperor had injected all his desire for conquest and exploration into the Blood God, the Supreme Emperor certainly wouldn’t be convinced by the Blood God or the extraterritorial devils so easily.

“Even if the multiverse did exist, exploring it right then was still too hasty. Hundreds if not thousands of years of preparation was necessary.

“The Supreme Emperor did not accept the Blood God’s request. On the other hand, the Supreme Emperor realized that he made a great mistake. He underestimated his clone that was made of desire for conquest and slaughter. His clone was getting beyond his control and might lead a fleet to the outer lands disregarding his command.

“The Supreme Emperor would not allow it to happen. He decided to recall the Blood God and modify the Blood God again. He could even swallow the Blood God and melt with his strongest clone again.”

“Huh?”

Li Yao found it hard to believe. “Swallow and melt with the Blood God? Is it really possible?”

“If personalities can be split, they can certainly be melted together. Why do you think they can’t be?”

Wuying Qi 3.0 said, “If you ever reach the Divinity Branching Stage someday, you will understand the marvelousness of life better.

“However, while the Supreme Emperor wanted to melt the Blood God, the Blood God was less enthusiastic.

“Maybe in the Supreme Emperor’s eyes, it was natural for two personalities to melt together so that they could both be complete. However, due to the Nuwa Clan’s secrets and the extraterritorial devils’ whisper, the Blood God considered himself a unique, real, and complete life, who was nobody’s clone or shadow. He was the Blood God, a real person!

“So, after receiving the Supreme Emperor’s command asking him to return to the capital, the Blood God inherited the Nuwa Clan’s legacy, listened to the extraterritorial devils, and accepted the surrender of the remaining demons, before he declared war on the Supreme Emperor!

“Even when I met him ten thousand years later, he still did not consider it a betrayal, nor was he interested in the supreme power at all. For the Blood God, our world was a dark and depressing cage, and reigning over such a cage was pointless if not absurd. His only wish had always been to break out and search for new hope!”

Li Yao had a lot of complicated feelings as he listened.

In all fairness, neither the Supreme Emperor nor the Blood God was wrong. While the Blood God had reasons to explore the outer lands, the Supreme Emperor’s prudence was also understandable!

If the Blood God were less extreme, and the Supreme Emperor chose to talk to his clone instead of trying to swallow it in a hurry, the history in the following ten thousand years might have been different.

Then, Li Yao was amused by his childishness.

Talk. There were too many conflicts in this world that could’ve been resolved by a peaceful talk.

If only the Pangu Clan and the Nuwa Clan had talked, if only the Supreme Emperor and the Blood God had talked, if only the Cultivators and the Immortal Cultivators had talked, and if only humans and demons had talked...

But they all chose to fight in the end!

“I don’t need to bore you with the details of the war. I believe you’ve read the history books like Rise and Decline of the Star Ocean Imperium.”

Wuying Qi 3.0 said, “Toward the end of the civil war, the Supreme Emperor and the Blood God had a fierce battle on the capital planet for the control of the Gold Crystal Pyramid. The Blood God learned of the Gold Crystal Pyramid from the secrets of the Nuwa Clan, so he was determined to conquer the capital planet regardless of the cost. The Supreme Emperor was unaware of the Gold Crystal Pyramid at first, but he certainly wouldn’t let the Blood God seize the capital planet. So, the two of them had a huge fight and were both heavily wounded.”
