“Idon’t like the term ‘giant devils’. It is the history, wisdom, and legacy of the endless civilizations from the outside world, and even their enthusiastic invitation to explore the outside world.

Lu Qingchen frowned. “However, I understand what you mean. Please continue.”

“As you said, when a civilization thinks that it has reached the peak of the universe, is there any goal that is more exciting than exploring the boundless multiverse in the space zones?

“In the tens of thousands of years after the ‘Fuxi System’ was created and all the resources and data of the universe were combined, almost every individual of the Pangu civilization dedicated all their passion to the sacred mission of ‘crossing the black wall and exploring the outer domain’.
“Countless people are trying to explore the essence of the black wall and find a way through it.

“Countless people emptied their worlds and dedicated all their resources, trying to build an unprecedented, brilliant super fleet.

“All the stars in the universe were eclipsed by the surging exhaust flames of this glorious fleet. Countless generations, from birth to death, spent their lives in incomplete starships. The expedition fleet simply became synonymous with the supreme government of the Pangu Civilization. Countless poets
sang praises of it, and countless artists painted its brilliance in various forms. Almost all the children were instilled with the belief that ‘the fleet is number one’ from the moment they were born. They were proud to be a member of the expedition army, even if the expedition army would not set off until
thousands of years later.

“Just like that, the passion of the entire civilization burned for tens of thousands of years. The ‘Fuxi System’ finally calculated the best route to pass through the black wall. The expedition fleet, which contained the essence of the civilization, endless resources, and the hope of countless generations, was
gathered, too. The new generation of warriors with the firmest will, the clearest mind, and the strongest combat ability of the Pangu civilization broke through the black wall and explored the outer domain!

The picture of the ‘primeval expedition army’ appeared in the thousands of pictures around Fuxi.
It was a torrent of steel made of millions of advanced and unimaginably powerful starships.

Compared to them, the super arsenals of human beings right now were nothing but feeble sampans. Even the star fortresses modified from asteroids were the most common units that could be found everywhere in the fleet.

There was no telling whether or not Fuxi had exaggerated the strength and the number of the expedition fleet on purpose, but if its purpose was to intimidate Lu Qingchen, it was undoubtedly a success. Even Li Yao was amazed by the invincibility of the expedition fleet.
“Did you make it?”

Although he knew the answer, Lu Qingchen could not help but ask, “Did you really pass through the black wall and explore the truth of the outside world? What is it exactly? What is beyond the universe?”

The files are missing. Many details have been lost over the course of hundreds of thousands of years. I can’t describe the details of the outside world to you, but I do know that the brilliant expedition army built by the Pangu Civilization over the past tens of thousands of years, after going through
countless dangers and finally passing through the black wall, encountered an indescribable horror that seemed to be able to destroy everything.

Fuxi paused for a moment. When he was talking about the outside of the black wall, even the cluster of light spots that constituted him was shaking and dispersing like frightened fireflies. “It is a darkness and evil beyond anyone’s imagination and description. Anyone who looks at it will go mad and
collapse. A long speech in any language is not enough to describe one ten-thousandth of its real strength. Any magical equipment that tries to scan it will explode within one microsecond. Even if it is trying to paint its shape on a painting, the painting will bum furiously the moment the picture is
completed, and the painter will carve out his eyes and all his sensory organs and tear apart his optic nerves in extreme fear.

“No. The expedition army of the Pangu Civilization did not even get in touch with the master of the terrifying force. They only got in touch with its servants, only to lose seventy to eighty percent of their strength in an inexplicable encounter. They were almost crushed.

“After they learned more about it, they realized that the expedition army was quite lucky. If they had been in direct contact with the master of the terrifying force, not only would they have been annihilated instantly, the home behind them, the mother universe of the Pangu Civilization, would have been
swallowed by the indescribable force like a rolling ocean.

A servant of terrifying strength?

Lu Qingchen frowned. “What is that?”

The clusters of light spots that constituted the Fuxis wriggled and changed into a complicated, three-dimensional rune that contained endless information.

‘What was weird was that it was not even a ‘3D’ rune. It was more like a ‘four-dimensional flower’ that had been created by the Fuxi Clan.

‘The four-dimensional flower blossomed in front of Lu Qingchen, giving him a deep understanding of the horror, mystery, and desperation faced by the expedition army of the Pangu Civilization.

Li Yao read a lot of data from the spreading ripples of the four-dimensional flower and translated the information contained in the rune with what he knew.

“Flood Tide Legion?”

It was exactly what Fuxi meant to Lu Qingchen.

The so-called ‘Flood Tide Legion’ was not the real flood, but the remnants of many civilizations that had collapsed because of the scourge of the flood and lost their fighting will. They had surrendered to the supreme power of the flood in order to survive.

For their own survival, the scumbags of the civilization would act as scouts and vanguard officers for the flood tide. They would wander in the multiverse, hunting down the innocent prey and sending them to the flood tide as sacrifices to the unspeakable power.
Of course, if they encountered a tough nut to crack, they would send the coordinates of the multiverse to the depths of the flood so that the flood would come and finish the enemy in person.

If the tides were the ferocious beasts that devoured the multiverse, then the Flood Tide Legion was the fleas on the bodies of the ferocious beasts.

It was the conclusion that Fu Xi came up with after countless years of collecting information from various sources.

In the end, Li Yao picked up a huge bargain and gradually sorted out his thoughts.

“Lunderstand now. The glorious expedition army that the Pangu civilization was so proud of failed on their first expedition to the space zones and was almost wiped out by the Flood Tide Legion. Therefore, you were scared out of your wits and lost all your courage and fighting will.
Lu Qingchen sneered, “He fled to his hometown with his tail between his legs and sealed the entire home universe from then on. He even castrated his seven emotions, six desires, curiosity, and ambition, ready to be a coward for the rest of his life!

“The conclusion is correct, but the process is completely wrong.

Fuxi was not angry at all. However, there was sorrow in the blinking light spots. “At that time, it was the golden era of the Pangu civilization. It was as unstoppable as the rising sun. Every individual was determined and resolute. How could they be swayed by the outcome of a battle?
“Besides, we won the battle against the ‘Flood Tide Legion’. Although we paid a high price, we annihilated all the enemies and even retrieved a lot of debris, scraps, and advanced technology from the ‘Flood Tide Legion’!

“You won?”

Lu Qingchen was dazed for a moment. He nodded and said, “That’s right. If the ‘Flood Tide Legion’ wins, naturally, they will pursue the victory and conquer our universe. Then, there will be no Pangu civilization or human civilization in the future.

“Therefore, not only did you annihilate the ‘Flood Tide Legion’, you also blocked the battlefield so that the enemy could not inform the ‘Flood Tide Legion’ of any intelligence about you.

“Ah, an expedition fleet that had just left their home universe encountered a mysterious enemy whose capability was far higher than their own in the vast sea of stars. With their fearlessness and determination, they paid an unimaginable price and finally defeated the strong with the weak. It was truly a
thrilling and blood-boiling victory!

“However, as a result, I don’t understand why the expedition army was so timid and dispirited. Were you scared by the brutal sacrifices?

“Not exactly. The Pangu civilization is not as naive and fragile as you think. They were prepared for the darkness and danger of the space zones a long time ago. If they were scared of sacrifices, they would not have launched such an expedition at all.
“Although we suffered heavy losses, we also retrieved a lot of advanced trophies,” Fuxi said. “The technology contained in many trophies has been fully analyzed. The level of the Pangu civilization has been greatly improved.

“Many of the captives even hid the mysteries of other universes, which could potentially expand the living space of the Pangu civilization by dozens of times!

“In the face of such abundant trophies, the remaining soldiers of the expedition army had their eyes burning red. Who would care about temporary sacrifices?

“Besides, at that time, they were far from understanding the true horror of the ‘Flood Tide’. They thought that the ‘Flood Tide Legion’ was the true form of the Flood Tide and mistook the fleas for ferocious beasts.

“The Flood Tide Legion is strong, but the technological gap between the two sides is not so large that it is incomprehensible or invincible. In fact, many commanders of the expedition army who survived felt that, although the technology of the Flood Tide Legion is advanced, their tactics are too rigid, and
they are not as smart as the Pangu Civilization.

“In other words, if they can bring the debris of the Flood Tide Legion back to their home universe and seclude themselves for thousands of years to digest the debris, they will be able to make a comeback. With the wisdom of the Pangu Civilization and the technology of the Flood Tide Legion, they will be
able to sweep across the entire universe.

“Therefore, although the remaining soldiers of the expedition army suffered heavy losses, their morale was not low. On the contrary, they were quite excited. From the commanders to the soldiers at the bottom level, they all thought that the trip was worthwhile and that they could fight again in the
future.

“However, a discovery on the way back crushed everyone’s innocence, pride, and hope, making them realize the darkness, cruelty, and horror of the multiverse and turning them into… emotionless, walking dead!
