Chapter 230: Chapter 229: The Life of Xiang Gu
Translator: 549690339
Xiang Gu knelt on the ground, looking up at the Heavenly Demon summoned from beyond the domain, and couldn’t help but recall his experiences over the past thousand years.
At first, he was just a small scientist, researching how to kill cockroaches inside a spaceship.
A spaceship in space would form a closed system. So if an insecticide was used, the insecticidal sprays would circulate indefinitely within the air purification system, causing the crew to be poisoned.
Xiang Gu believed his research was valuable, but unfortunately, no one recognized its worth.
One day, a strange person who claimed to be a messenger of Du Ye found Xiang
Gu and told him that his research was valuable. The problem was that the moral values of civilization were flawed and couldn’t correctly evaluate him.
Xiang Gu felt understood and enthusiastically shared the results of his years of research with the stranger.
The messenger of Du Ye waved his hand, stating he came from an advanced civilization and considered their civilization the most excellent; other civilizations were dross, worthy only of destruction.
As an observer of civilization, the messenger of Du Ye saw Xiang Gu as a person who fit well into their civilization. If Xiang Gu could destroy civilization according to his practice, he would recommend Xiang Gu and allow him to join the higher civilization of Du Ye’s messenger.
Moreover, destroying a civilization was a considerable achievement, and Xiang Gu would be treated favorably upon arrival in the advanced civilization, becoming a socially superior person there.
In the beginning, Xiang Gu thought the messenger of Du Ye was even stranger than he was, living in a fantasy.
However, when the messenger of Du Ye took him away from the universe and let him stay in the Endless Void for a time, he came to understand how vast the world was. The universe of a trillion light-years was but a corner to the Void, and civilization was nothing more than a pathetic insect that couldn’t even get out of its corner. He then completely believed the words of the messenger of
Du Ye.
Xiang Gu admired the advanced civilization mentioned by Du Ye’s envoy and admired Du Ye’s envoy as well, considering him a god.
Civilization was blind and useless; it was better off destroyed!
He wanted to become a god like Du Ye’s envoy!
But Xiang Gu was just a small scientist where could he have done anything to destroy civilization.
The messenger of Du Ye kindly instructed him, imparting technological knowledge that was several eras ahead of civilization, devised a detailed plan of destruction, stating that the holographic simulator and the nutrient solution were critical. They were enough to destroy civilization, and they must be developed according to his plan of destruction.
Xiang Gu felt that the plan of destruction was too gentle. It wasn’t meant to destroy civilization, but rather to usher people into a utopia.
Xiang Gu asked the messenger of Du Ye if he could give him weapons of mass destruction to destroy civilization directly.
Du Ye severely reprimanded him, stating that their advanced civilization had to be magnanimous and compassionate, they couldn’t destroy civilization directly just because they disagreed. They had to let inferior civilizations die in enjoyment. If Xiang Gu continued to harbor such thoughts, he would not be able to join their superior civilization!
Xiang Gu grew scared and affirmed that he would strictly implement the plan of Du Ye’s envoy.
The complexion of Du Ye’s envoy only then eased slightly. It wasn’t easy to find someone willing to destroy the civilization that nurtured him, although ignorant and incompetent, at least he was a local.
He was still busy destroying other civilizations, so he couldn’t stay here for long, so he needed to find a local person to execute the plan of destruction.
The messenger of Du Ye suggested that Xiang Gu control the upper echelons of civilization, not with mind control, but with capital.
Destroying a civilization wasn’t done in one go. Instead, it was a long process. Considering Xiang Gu’s incompetence, the messenger of Du Ye thought it best to give him an elixir to make him a practitioner of the Body Integration Realm to prolong his life span.
The most potent weapon of civilization could only kill a Divinity Transformation, which posed no threat to Body Integration.
Xiang Gu was overjoyed and wished he could show his loyalty to Du Ye’s envoy by pulling out his heart.
Du Ye thought to himself what use your heart would be to me. It had no value. But he still generously said that they in their civilization have already recognized Xiang Gu’s loyalty and that he should keep working hard.
After Du Ye left, Xiang Gu quickly became the most outstanding scientist of civilization, a prominent figure.
Seeing how everyone was chasing after him, Xiang Gu sneered, they were all petty people who flatter the powerful.
Xiang Gu established the Flying Sky Company and became its first president.
The meaning of Flying Sky was his intention to ascend to a higher civilization.
Decades passed, and Xiang Gu faked his death, changed his appearance, and became the second president to continue the implementation of the euthanasia plan.
The ten presidents of the Flying Sky Company were all incarnations of Xiang Gu. Finally, during the reign of the tenth president, all preparations were ready, waiting for people to willingly step into the trap.
During this time, Xiang Gu often contemplated on using his Body Integration Stage cultivation to directly destroy civilization, but remembering Du Ye’s envoy’s warning, he had to stand back.
They were lucky!
Everything was progressing according to the plan, and when the last person entered the Virtual World, Xiang Gu had a sense of accomplishment as if he had fulfilled his mission.
Seeing the black coffins everywhere, Xiang Gu felt that his four hundred years of hard work were all worth it.
He initially wanted to summon Du Ye using the method taught by Du Ye’s envoy to show him the results, but then he thought that he would have no advantage if he entered the advanced civilization. It would be better if he destroyed a few more civilizations to accumulate merit.
With a thousand years spent in the universe, Xiang Gu searched everywhere without any results. Just as he was about to give up hope of finding other civilizations, he discovered the Ming Zhong civilization.
For the first time, he knew that there could be continents floating in the universe.
He decided to wait and see. If he could destroy it, he would. If he couldn’t, then never mind. After all, he was at the Body Integration realm and could come and go as he pleased.
With this in mind, Xiang Gu approached the continent, but to his surprise, the continent transformed by the Dao Ancestor was unusual. The farther the distance, the stronger the gravitational pull. Xiang Gu was directly pulled into the continent and couldn’t get out.
“I have no choice but to destroy this place,” Xiang Gu decided fiercely.
When Xiang Gu descended, Jiang Li had already resolved the beast issue. If
Xiang Gu had come a few years earlier, he would have run into Jiang Li and the Yin Yang Heaven Seal scanning the continent to find the Dao Ancestor. With him being in the Body Integration Realm, he would have had nowhere to hide.
Xiang Gu was lucky because he escaped a calamity.
Xiang Gu was unfortunate because the Ming Zhong civilization had a Dao Sect Elder stationed there. Being in the same Body Integration realm, Xiang Gu wasn’t skilled or courageous enough to meet other practitioners at the same level face to face.
He tried to mimic the plan to destroy civilization but stumbled at the beginning.
The cutting-edge technology he possessed was already mastered by the Ming Zhong civilization.
Xiang Gu couldn’t think of other methods and could only forcibly proceed step by step, starting with the upper echelons.
So he infiltrated the Academy of Science, controlled the dean, and had him make a proposal to Ming Zhong, which was cold -heartedly rejected. Xiang Gu was out of options and was forced to summon Du Ye’s envoy to take him away.
Du Ye’s envoy received the communication, and Xiang Gu declared that he had completed the mission and destroyed civilization.
It was absurd. Even his cultivation was obtained through a gifted elixir, what use could such a person be to him?
Since the mission was completed, he was no longer of any use.
“It’s a pity that an Earth Immortal has no intelligence and can only execute a single command,”
Du Ye sighed, turned and bowed down to the towering statue.
“Respected God-Hidden, another civilization has been destroyed,” he said solemnly..
