As the Fuxi roared, the clusters of light spots that constituted its ‘body’ turned into lackluster black spots, too, which danced around Lu Qingchen’s soul like countless black holes the size of needles. Black mist was released, as if it were going to envelop and swallow his soul and seal him in a specific, tiny

‘dark barrier’.

“Do you know what the deepest desperation is? If you encounter the strongest enemy the moment you leave your hometown, and you are defeated or even wiped out by the enemy, it is not the deepest desperation. You will only be stomped to death by the dinosaurs.

Fuxi’s voice was low and full of sorrow and pity. “However, after exhausting all his strength, burning all his wisdom and courage, and making countless sacrifices, you finally defeated an unprecedented enemy. When the joy of victory and your hope for the future reached their peak, you suddenly realized

that your so-called ‘victory’ had merely shaken off a hair of the enemy, and the enemy had not discovered you at all. The feeling of falling from the clouds into an endless abyss was the deepest desperation.

“Think about it. Think about it carefully. Put yourself in the role of the commander-in-chief of the expedition army of the Pangu Civilization. You are leading the strongest fleet that was established after a hundred thousand years of civilization and the resources of three thousand Sectors. You are

commanding the top experts of the thirteen carbon-based civilizations. You are embarking on an unknown journey with the earnest hope of your hometown and the multiverse.

“The difficulty of crossing the black wall goes without saying. The vastness and cruelty of the multiverse are within your expectations, too. Even the unexpected encounter with the Flood Tide Legion did not destroy your mind, because you discovered that, although the Flood Tide Fleet was strong, it was

not invincible.

“Finally, after hot-bloodedness, courage, wisdom, indomitable will, and endless sacrifices, you have finally secured a world-shaking victory. It is a battle that will forever be recorded in the history books. You feel that all the soldiers under your command have performed to the best of their abilities. Even

your own commanding skills have reached the peak of perfection and cannot be duplicated!

“Although the losses were heavy, the harvests were even more bountiful. Countless people sacrificed themselves in the cold darkness, but they left the brightest hope for the survivors and encouraged them to continue marching forward. You thought that you had seen clearly the gap between you and the

strongest Cultivators of the multiverse, and that you had seen clearly the direction of evolution despite the twists and turns ahead of you.

“It is like a touching legend that has just begun. The ruler of the multiverse will take the first solid step in the future, right?

“Unfortunately, it is not.

“On your way back, you discovered the switches and last words left by the ‘black curtain maker’ and leamed one billionth of the truth of the universe.

“When you realize that even such an unbelievably powerful prehistoric civilization as the ‘black curtain makers’ can only be cowards, the entire world will collapse before your eyes.

“There is a gap of ten thousand times between you and the architect of the black curtain, and there is a gap of ten thousand times between the architect of the black curtain and the real flood. Even the architect of the black curtain did not dare to fight the flood to the death. Isn’t everything you and your

fearless compatriots have done a joke?

“The cause that you’ve been fighting for your entire life, or even your entire civilization, for a hundred thousand years, has collapsed. It’s meaningless. Everything is meaningless. Right now, you already know that hundreds of civilizations hundreds of times stronger than yours have tried the same thing

before your civilization was born. The only ‘right answer’ is to build a black screen and be a turtle that hides in its shell. Even if your civilization develops for another million years, it will only be in the phase where it wants to be a turtle but cannot.

“What is the significance of your existence? What is the significance of the Pangu civilization? What is the significance of the universe?

“Now that you’ve learned everything, do you have a second choice except to collapse?

Under the interrogation of Fuxi, Lu Qingchen’s soul dimmed, shook, and twisted again.

Like the brightness that was about to be bunt out in a storm, the brightness faded away with the scattering sparks.

Even Li Yao, who was eavesdropping, was greatly shocked and shaken. He was almost drowned in the vast universe of darkness and desperation.

For the human civilization today, the cutting-edge technology of the Pangu Civilization had been advanced for tens of thousands of years. At first glance, they looked like real deities.

In the eyes of the Pangu civilization, the makers of the black curtains were countless times more advanced than them. They were the ‘devils of the devils.

Even the deities did not dare to face the flood. They could only create a dark area to hide themselves, as if they were children who had been scared by a ghost story and were shivering in bed!

Then, what did the so-called flood mean for the civilization of mankind today?

If the flood was really related to Earth and the Vulture Plan demanded that he destroy the planet, could he really do it?

‘When faced with the resurrected Pangu Clan, Li Yao could still cheer himself up. “We are all carbon-based creatures. We are not scared of each other!”

However, when faced with the mysterious flood, or even the ‘black curtain maker’, Li Yao found it hard to boast about himself, because it was very likely that the enemy was of a higher level that even the three-dimensional carbon-based creatures could not understand.

On the other hand, Fuxi’s words had solved a mystery that had been bothering Li Yao for a long time.

It was the significance of the Ancient Sacred World.

In the primeval war hundreds of thousands of years ago, why did the Pangu Clan establish such a large dark nebula in the periphery of the Ancient Saint World?

In the beginning, many experts and scholars, including Long Yangjun, had pointed out that the Pangu Clan’s plan to treat the ancient sacred world as a ‘rejuvenation base had gone wrong during the implementation of their plan, which led to the extinction of all the Pangu Clan in the ancient sacred world.

That was why human beings had survived to this day.

However, Li Yao had always felt that such a theory was too strange. Many things did not make sense.

It was not until today that he realized that the Ancient Saint World was most likely a ‘reverse engineering test base’ where the Pangu civilization had chosen a certain space zone at the edge of the sea of stars to try to copy and analyze the technology of the ‘black market’ after they got the technology of the

‘black market’.

Therefore, the dark nebula around the Ancient Saint World was very similar to the black wall that sealed the entire Pangu Universe.

Of course, the ‘black curtain technology’ that the Pangu Clan dissected and reverse-developed was far less advanced than that of the ‘black curtain makers’. Therefore, the dark nebula around the Ancient Saint World was not entirely undetectable. It was merely thin and lackluster.

It also proved that there was more to the story than met the eye. At the very least, the existence of the ‘black curtain makers’ should be undeniable.

“shut up! Stop talking!”

While Li Yao was pondering, he suddenly heard Lu Qingchen’s furious roar. “Put away your tricks, Fuxi. I finally know why you are telling me stories from hundreds of thousands of years ago so hypocritically. Hehe. You are trying to trap me in the same desperate situation as the commander-in-chief of

the expedition army of the Pangu Civilization in such a way so that my soul defense line will collapse and you can swallow and me easily, aren’t you?

“Tm sorry. I won’t be fooled, nor will I collapse and succumb.

“Even if everything you said is the truth, even if the top predators beyond our imagination existed billions of years ago and billions of lightyears away, it is definitely not a reason for us to give up our feelings, curiosity, ambition, and hope.

“What’s wrong with ants? The evolution of countless planets has proved that the survival ability of ants is far better than that of dinosaurs. Countless seemingly powerful dinosaurs and reptiles went extinct during the catastrophes, but thousands of species of ants have survived to this day!

“Bacteria? So what? Can a civilization as strong as the Pangu civilization or the human civilization today eliminate all the bacteria? Hehe. It’s impossible. The Pangu civilization has gone extinct. Maybe the civilization of mankind will go extinct one day. But as long as the universe exists, germs will never

go extinct, will they?

“Therefore, even if we are really ants, dust, and insignificant bacteria and viruses, so what? It does not mean that our glorious civilization cannot have a place in the vast universe!

The bold and powerful declaration made Lu Qingchen’s soul shine stubbornly for the third time.

The dark barrier that sealed him was torn apart and burnt like a paper shell. Coerced by his scorching aura, it ran back to Fuxis like a soldier who had abandoned his armor.

“”Wow—”

The mental devil couldn’t help but remark, “Lu Qingchen is indeed marvelous. Even I can’t help but feel my blood boiling when I hear it. It’s true that everybody has been wandering in the sea of stars for a long time. There is no limit to the amount of time and space. Every mountain is taller than the last.

‘We will certainly meet countless civilizations that are stronger than us. How can we survive without the fearlessness when our heads are as big as bowls?

“Every inch has its advantages and every ruler has its shortcomings. The strength of a civilization cannot be generalized. Who says that dinosaurs are necessarily stronger than ants or bacteria?

“In the old days, the Blood Stripe Virus was not the most primitive bacteria, cells, spores, or viruses. It could still cruise in the universe on meteorites without being discovered by the tides. It was evident that the tides had limitations or loopholes, too. Otherwise, it would not have needed to rear such a

legion!

“That’s right. Although Lu Qingchen took the wrong path in the future, the determination deep down in his bones makes him a man of the federation.

Li Yao was deeply moved, too.. “It was not a waste of my enlightenment when he was little!”
