Forty Millenniums of Cultivation - Chapter 3021
Chapter 3021 Last Struggle
It was a war that no human being—or any carbon-based intelligent life—could imagine.
In the cruel battlefield where the standard gravity of the ancient star was thousands of times higher, two super cyclones, both more than a thousand kilometers in diameter and even more furious than level-13 hurricanes on ordinary planets, collided brutally.
At the edge where the two swirls touched, billions of lightning bolts pierced into each other’s bodies like spears, building a bridge of death leading to doom.
Countless plasma cells lunged at the enemy through the bridge of lightning. They burnt their life force, which was only several seconds long, and released the most intense electromagnetic radiation, bombarding the enemy with their own vibration frequency.
If the plasma cells on the other side could not withstand the ‘explosive bombardment’ of the attacker and changed the frequency of their atom oscillations to the same frequency without them knowing, they would be infected and transformed into one of the attackers.
Just like that, the two clusters of plasma cells were engaged in a ‘short-range battle’. They swallowed and transformed each other or were evenly matched. Neither of them was able to transform the other. But after all the electromagnetic radiation was exhausted, they perished together in a flash.
It was a slaughterhouse of melee combat.
In the battlefield of a higher scale and a larger scale, there were still a lot of plasma cells that did not participate in the battle directly. Instead, they were trying their best to increase the wind pressure and wind speed of the Red Spot they were in. They released the arms of the storm, trying to shatter the enemy’s Red Spot and swallow the super cyclone.
Such ‘war’ could often last days and nights. On the time scale of the plasma cells, it was an epic war that lasted hundreds of years.
In such a protracted war, the fire of red phosphorus on both sides would be burning furiously, increasing the brightness of the two red spots by one level.
Maybe, they were the poets, singers, and historians of the Lightning Civilization who were singing, lamenting, and recording the brilliant, the cruel, the sad, the touching, the magnificent, the lamentable, and the meaningless war! In the end, one of them was defeated, and all the lightning was extinguished. The fire of red phosphorus dimmed, and the vibration frequency of all the plasma cells was changed to that of the winners. Even the red spot where they lived was shattered and swallowed by the red spot, turning into a super red spot more than five thousand kilometers in diameter.
The strong preyed on the weak. Survival of the fittest was a natural law even in the world of energy life.
The war between the Great Red Spot and the Great Red Spot lasted a thousand years.
Countless civilizations in the Great Red Spot had been wiped out. More civilizations were born in the brand-new Great Red Spot. Of course, the ‘Lightning Empire’, which had been flourishing for a long time, had developed to its limits, too. But the Great Red Spot, which had been thriving for a long time, had reached the limit of its life. It was on the verge of collapse, and the civilization that had lasted for billions of generations was destroyed.
All in all, at the moment when Lu Qingchen, Li Yao, and the exploration fleet of human beings reached the periphery of the ancient star, the civilization of lightning had developed into an unprecedentedly prosperous civilization.
Basically, the lightning creatures were already able to condense and control a lot of plasma cells and construct all kinds of delicate and complicated structures. They had also explored almost all the big red spots in the atmosphere of the ancient giants and occupied every fertile land that was suitable for the development of a civilization. They also boasted the preliminary ability of sailing in the sea of stars. They could build ‘Lightning Warships’ that were almost a thousand kilometers long, get rid of the attraction force of the ancient giants, and stop briefly near the ancient giants, which were the glorious and terrifying forms that Li Yao had seen.
However, that was the limit. The world they were born in played a cruel joke on them. Their civilization had only just been established. Two thousand years was not even a moment in the universe, and they were about to meet their doom.
Or rather, when the first plasma cell woke up from ignorance and struggled to survive, they had been sealed by the destiny of desperation.
It was the omen of a supernova explosion that brought a lot of rare elements and special radiation to the ancient giants. That was how such a miraculous life form was created and evolved into a unique civilization.
However, the complete explosion of a supernova would seriously affect the ancient giants and destroy the entire world that they relied on.
They were creatures living in lightning, and the birth of lightning could not be achieved without energy, magnetic field, and atmosphere. The loss of atmosphere and magnetic field was already a catastrophe that they could not bear, let alone the collapse of the ancient giants. The lightning life-form had keenly sensed the magnetic field changes of the ancient giants decades ago.
A few months ago, the appearance of the ‘Gold Saint, Heaven’s Horizon’ suddenly changed the gravity and magnetic field of the ancient giants and their satellite systems. The living environment of the lightning-type creatures was even worse.

A few months were like thousands of generations of people’ for the lightning creatures. Of course, they were trying to save themselves, survive, and fight against the apocalypse. However, no matter how they changed themselves or the forms of the lightning and the Great Red Spot, they could not stop the collapse of the ancient giants and the annihilation of the magnetic field, much less the explosion of the two supernovas.
In a sense, the lightning creatures were creatures on the micro level. How could they stop the supernova explosions and the destruction of planets on the macro level?
Then, there was only one way.
Run away. Run away. Run away without caring about anything else. Run away from the ancient giants and turn from ‘planetary creatures’ into ‘cosmic creatures’, just like the carbon-based intelligent creatures such as human beings had tried before.
Planets were merely the cradles of life. The sea of stars was the home of life.
The lightning life-form spent about a month experimenting with various plans to ‘save the ancient planet’ and came to the conclusion that it could not. Then, it spent another month and countless generations of ‘people’ exploring various methods of sailing in the sea of stars.
It was a pity that their lives were too short. Countless generations of ‘people’ could not find a macroscopic answer.
It was almost impossible for him to cross the resource-scarce zones that were hundreds of lightyears away with pure energy alone. He would collapse, dissipate, and be obliterated within several hundred million kilometers.
The mass of the ancient giants was too large, and their gravity was too strong, which prevented them from refining all kinds of materials into solid and stable shells that could carry extremely active energy.
It was an unsolvable problem. However, the lightning creature had no other options except to try again and again, driven by its survival instincts.
The appearance of Lu Qingchen, Li Yao, and the exploration fleet of human beings gave them a slim chance of survival.
It was beyond Li Yao’s expectation that his initial assumption was wrong. The lightning creatures’ attack on the exploration fleet was not ‘hunting’, or rather, ‘exploration’ on a different level.
It did make sense now that he thought about it. Endless energy was still stored inside the ancient giants at this moment. If it were just for temporary survival, the lightning life-forms would not have had to leave the atmosphere and gravity and fly millions of kilometers away to swallow the exploration fleet.
If the ancient giants were in a stable state, no matter how close the exploration fleet was to them, the lightning creatures would not be interested in human beings at all, just like human beings would not be interested in cold rocks.
But right now, it was different. The ancient giants were about to be destroyed. The lightning-like creatures, who had nowhere else to run, were not willing to let go of any chance of escape. The starships, crystal suits, and giant soldiers of human beings represented a brand-new, stable, special magnetic field and spiritual energy circulation structure that could cross the sea of stars. The model of such a special magnetic field and the algorithm for the operation of spiritual energy were both unprecedented in the billions of generations of genetic mutations of the lightning creatures.
Therefore, the fleet of the lightning creatures sent out their own ‘exploration fleet’, namely, two super plasma torrents.
They were not malicious at all, nor did they feel that they were attacking or destroying, because they did not realize that the exploration fleet of human beings was a kind of ‘life’ at all. In fact, if they had a certain primitive and obscure religion, they might consider the exploration fleet of human beings as a blessing that the ‘god’ bestowed upon them. The ‘god’ would teach them a brand-new structure that could allow them to flee from their home and march into the sea of stars, and the ‘arky’ that could save them from the suffering.
Therefore, when the torrents of super plasma passed by dozens of starships after they crushed the two supreme fortresses, they would take the appearance of the supreme fortresses and the starships. They were indeed learning and mimicking, hoping to find a way to maintain or store the lightning for a longer time.
Li Yao and the exploration fleet, on the other hand, turned off the power source and the spiritual shield time and time again and triggered the most intense spiritual flames. Such a clumsy tactic would work, too, because in the eyes of the lightning life-form, it was perfectly justified and natural. Naturally, the powerful energy would be extinguished after a brief outburst, which meant that ‘death’ was no longer worth exploring.
As for how the energy of ‘death’ could be resurrected, it was far beyond their understanding and understanding.
Even now, when all the plasma cells inside the super lightning torrent were about to be drained and annihilated, it was still carrying out its mission dutifully, exploring and learning how the neural bioelectricity inside Li Yao’s body worked and condensing into a ‘human figure’.
It did not realize that the magnetic field and the energy were not enough for it to jump from the microscopic level to the macroscopic level.
It was just like a stupid but stubborn student who had put in a hundred times more effort and was constantly trying, struggling, and struggling in the wrong direction.
This was the story of the lightning life-forms born from ancient giants. Maybe it was the last words of a civilization, or at least a species, before it perished.
