Chapter 3024 Entrance to a Super Civilization

Li Yao’s nose and chest were blocked by something sour again. With the last bit of his strength, he extended his trembling hand, controlling the arm of the steel giant to bid farewell to the withering lightning “Goodbye, my friend. Although there is not even one billionth of a chance, I still hope that part of you, or at least one plasma cell, can return to the ancient planet and spread the story of our wonderful encounter.

“I should have saved you or destroyed you, but I was struggling for my own survival and destruction, too. I was going to a more mysterious and dangerous place to find my origin, my destiny, and my answer. “Therefore, let’s part ways here and look forward to meeting again in the future.

“After all, today’s encounter was too hasty and embarrassing. I really look forward to the day when we or our descendants can get in touch with each other in a more dignified, calm, and wise way. Or maybe, hehe, we can put on an even more spectacular and splendid war!

“Anyway… Goodbye… Goodbye…” The lightning life was getting smaller and smaller in Li Yao’s vision. It gradually melted into the enormous shadow of the ancient star and was no longer visible. Li Yao had run out of spiritual energy during the life-and-death battle and the communication later.

He didn’t even have the strength to shake his little finger.

Fatigue and sleepiness gradually flooded into his brain like a black, thick tide and consumed his every brain cell.

Before he passed out, he had only had time to turn on the automatic navigation system of the Giant God Soldier with the movement of his eyeballs and the release of his brainwaves so that the arsonists could search for the signs that Li Linghai, Ding Lingdang, and the rest of the team had left and catch up with the main team to the entrance of the tomb.

Li Yao did not know whether or not the broken, paralyzed giant soldier could complete the task. Just like the lightning creatures, he was faced with desperation and hope.

Li Yao slept for a long time. His dreams were filled with lightning, thunder, and endless energy models.

When he gradually woke up, his condition was no better than before. He was still tired, sleepy, and hungry. Every cell in his body was screaming. A lot of high-nutrition drugs had been stored inside the Giant God Soldier. Little Black should’ve injected and treated them in time.

However, the high-nutrition drugs had been electrolyzed and vaporized by the lightning-like life-form. There was barely any nutrition left.

Li Yao checked the navigation log of the mainframe crystal processor and was surprised to find that he had slept for… seven days!

Such a long period of loss of control and coma was rarely seen in his entire training career.

Thankfully, according to the log, the Giant God Soldier had carried out his instructions dutifully while he was in the coma. Besides, the signs left by Li Linghai and Ding Lingdang were clear enough, too, making him closer and closer to the entrance of the tomb of the Supreme Emperor.

Considering the damage of the Giant God Soldier and his remaining fuel, it was an out-and-out miracle. “Is it… you?”

Li Yao rubbed his aching head and felt that lightning was still dancing inside.

He did not know whether or not the lightning-like life had crawled into the fuel tank of the Giant God Soldier and changed the structure and constituents of the crystal fuel, squeezing out more energy in a way that… the carbon-based intelligent life could not understand.

He did not know whether or not the flashing nerves deep inside his brain carried the features of a lightning-like life.

However cruel the universe was, life would always find a way out, wouldn’t it?

Li Yao laughed.

Looking at the ancient giants that were drifting behind him for seven days and seven nights and the giant planet that was as brilliant as the sun, Li Yao suddenly felt that the desolate and lonely universe had become livelier and livelier.

Who said that human beings were lonely? Maybe there were countless wonderful and splendid creatures living in different levels of the universe. Human beings simply needed to find them by rubbing their eyes. It was like a lush forest. On different levels, there were towering trees, shrubs, and grass. There were wolves, tigers, leopards, antelopes, and deer. There were also reptiles and insects, and even fungi and bacteria.

It was possible that the wolves, tigers, and leopards had never realized that countless well-organized ant nests and ants might exist in the soil below their feet. The wars between ants were as solemn and magnificent as the battles between ferocious beasts.

They were merely hunting and killing blindly.

But human beings were not predators.

Nor should it. Never.

Li Yao suddenly felt that the word ‘dark forest’ was contradictory and… groundless!

“The vast majority of plants require sunlight in order to achieve photosynthesis. Therefore, the existence of the forest itself means the existence of light. No matter how dark the forest appears to be, there will certainly be light outside the forest!

“Even if there is an ‘absolutely dark’ environment, the natural creatures born in the ‘absolutely dark’ will never evolve into light-sensitive organs such as eyes in the first place. Then, what’s the significance of darkness for them and what’s the trouble?

“Even if they haven’t evolved into ‘eyes’, they must have ways to perceive the information around them and communicate with their companions or even other species. Whether they are willing or not, they are the best, if not the only, motivation for their evolution! “As long as we can communicate with each other, light is destined to be born in darkness no matter how dark it is. The civilization of mankind is a product of light in the first place. Right now, we only need to spread the light and pass it on!

Li Yao extended one of his fingers.

“Crack! Crack!” An insignificant ball of lightning appeared on his fingertip. It was no more than five millimeters in diameter, but it was changing into all kinds of delicate forms and hundreds of complicated 3D structures. It was even blossoming like a flower and dancing like a butterfly, inadvertently displaying the energy structure and manipulation ability of Li Yao that surpassed all the intelligent carbon-based creatures such as human beings and the Pangu Clan.

It was a gift from the lightning creatures, just as he had given them the ability to smelt metals and manipulate materials.

“If the lightning life-forms, whose history is only two thousand years and whose individual life span is less than ten seconds, have never given up hope in the face of the supernova explosion and the catastrophe of the collapse of galaxies, what reason do we, human beings, have to give up hope when we are faced with a flood?

Li Yao smiled. He pulled the lightning back to his palm and charged forward on the Giant God Soldier.

An hour later, the pearl floating quietly in the sea of stars at the entrance of the tomb of the Supreme Emperor appeared in his vision again.

He had also received Ding Lingdang’s message from a crystal processor floating near the entrance of the tomb.

“Li Yao, it will be great if you can see the message!”

Inside the light beam, Ding Lingdang was exhausted. The cockpit behind her was burning with smoke. “The meteoroid storm and the electromagnetic interference were too severe. Our fleet suffered tremendous losses. Many starships lost the ability to sail or fight.

“What’s worse is that the navigation and communication of many starships have been completely wrecked and have drifted to God knows where. Right now, we have only found a dozen starships. The rest of the starships will not arrive until they repair themselves.

“Time is of the essence. We can’t wait any longer. Right now, we have to enter the Tomb of the Supreme Emperor to capture Lu Qingchen. Therefore, we have set up an information node here. If there are any abnormal changes inside the Tomb of the Supreme Emperor, we will send out the information as soon as possible. “If there are no anomalies, it means that we are still in the process of capture. Li Yao, or anyone else who has read the message, please enter the Tomb of the Supreme Emperor to reinforce us immediately!”

The message had been sent five days ago.

Then, there were scattered, messy messages that were squeaking and hissing. It seemed that Ding Lingdang and the rest of them had been seriously jammed in the tomb of the Supreme Emperor and that the messages they sent had been sabotaged.

Five days ago, Ding Lingdang and the rest of them had entered the tomb of the Supreme Emperor and still hadn’t come out. Had they failed to capture Lu Qingchen, or…

Li Yao did not dare to think any further. He accelerated and approached the entrance of the tomb.

The ball of mercury and pearls had entirely different features from the ancient planet.

If the ancient giants symbolized primitiveness, nature, wildness, and brutality, they were the symbols of absolute precision and control. They were man-made products of the super civilizations.

The ‘Arsonist’ was less than a hundred meters away from the entrance of the Mausoleum of the Supreme Emperor. But at such a close distance, Li Yao was still unable to detect any flaws or bumps on its surface. On the surface that was more than several kilometers in diameter, there was not even a fluctuation of 0.001 micrometers.

–With Li Yao’s knowledge of materials science and metal processing, even processing solid metal into such an accurate sphere was absolutely impossible.

Besides, it was not a solid at all, but an unknown material that looked like liquid metal but was hundreds of times more marvelous. It was an ‘entrance’ that could be passed through freely.

Just like that, it was quiet, indifferent, and aloof from the world. It was blossoming with its own brilliance, displaying its strength and making all the latecomers feel that they were looking up to a high mountain.

It was no longer appropriate to call it the entrance to the Tomb of the Supreme Emperor.

Li Yao was certain that even the Supreme Emperor of the human civilization did not have the ability to build such an entrance.

Moreover, judging from the relics of the Pangu Clan and the warships of the Nuwa Clan, their metal refinement and processing ability were far from that.

Li Linghai was right. The relic was neither the work of the Supreme Emperor nor the Pangu Civilization. It could only be a product of the ‘black wall’. It was the work of the super civilization that blocked billions of stars and sealed the Pangu Universe!
