Forty Millenniums of Cultivation - Chapter 3061

Chapter 3061 The Only Different Option

Even though Li Yao had already exclaimed countless times in his heart just now, this time, when he heard that such a vast and endless secret was hidden in the depths of the gene strands of human beings, he once again exclaimed in disbelief.

As it turned out, not only did his soul come from the mysterious Earth, his body was also related to the super civilization billions of years ago.

Was this a coincidence?

Or was it because such a bunch of unawakened human beings were lurking in the Pangu Universe that his soul chose this place as a foothold after it escaped from Earth and travelled through the multiverse?

It was as if a mysterious magnetic field deep inside the Pangu Universe had attracted his soul.

What was the relationship between Earth and the Pangu Universe? What was the relationship between Earthlings and the human civilization of the Pangu Universe and the prosperous ancient human civilization billions of years ago? “After hundreds of years of experimentation, except for the ‘failed products’ that had yet to be awakened, the Pangu civilization only made a few breakthroughs in my embryo. But when they wanted to change their research direction and try new possibilities, the civil war of the primeval era broke out, and the fire of destruction was burnt into the primeval relics, destroying all the efforts of the experts, scholars, and researchers. In the end, the Pangu civilization perished, and the human beings that they regarded as tools and slaves flourished and turned the Pangu Universe into what it is today.

The gravekeeper paused for a moment. His voice was obviously shaking as he said, “It-it took me several years to figure everything out. I planned to leave more evidence and guidance for the latecomers before the fire of life died down, but I discovered that my body and soul had undergone subtle mutations again.

“Maybe, in the battle of Empyreal Terminus, I did not annihilate the Blood God. Instead, part of the Blood God’s remaining soul took the opportunity to invade my body.

“Or maybe, the dark side of human nature is something that can never be separated. Even if I gathered all the darkness and created a weirdo named the Blood God who was banished from my body, new darkness would still be born in the depths of my heart after a long time. When I returned to the primeval relics and was infected by the scent that originated from the primeval era, the power that had been sealed for billions of years started stirring and summoning me again.

“Two diametrically opposed voices appeared in my mind. The voice of reason told me that the conditions were not ripe yet. My body and soul were too weak, and I was not ready for the ‘test’ of the Black Wall Manufacturing yet. The human world outside was still a pile of loose sand. It was in chaos and turmoil, and it would take thousands of years to create a new order and hope. No matter what, this was not the best time to open the ‘Tower Tower’.

“I am not a suitable candidate. My mission is not to pass the test of the Skysplit Tower but to leave as many files and legacies as possible for the latecomers to complete their mission.

“However, an extremely crazy and alluring voice often beguiled me. It said that I was already in the depths of the ancient relics and only one step away from the truth. Why didn’t I give it a try? I am a 100% maker of the black wall. The test was prepared for me in the first place. The test is mine. The secrets are mine. The entire legacy of the maker of the black wall should be mine! If I pass the test, I might be able to treat my wounds with the legacy of the maker of the black wall, regain my vitality, and live another five hundred or even a thousand years to realize my new dreams and ambitions!

“The voice kept corrupting and tempting my mind, almost driving me crazy. I was worried that I might lose my mind and risk the hope of the civilization of mankind if things went on like this…

In front of Li Yao’s eyes, the image of the Supreme Emperor suddenly changed. Endless black gas surged out of his body. Under the corrosion of the black gas, his skin cracked, revealing the bloody red marks below.

His eyes were deep and hollow, and his eyes looked like two red volcanoes. His face was full of craziness, too.

“Old Ghost, don’t you understand? From the beginning to the end, there was no ‘corrosion of the primeval power’. Everything was just your own ambitions and desires! It was your ambitions that created ‘Mad Blood God’, the Mad Armageddon. I am you. As long as you still have ambitions and desires, I am immortal!”

The crazy ‘Bloody Emperor’, who was wreathed in black gas, grinned crazily. “We are destined to be the dominators of the primeval relics. Only we can pass the tests and receive all the knowledge of the creator of the black wall. The salvation and hope of mankind are right in front of us. Why did you entrust such an important mission to an irrelevant nobody thousands of years later? Are you so confident that somebody else will come to this place? What if there isn’t? What are you scared of? Yes. What are you scared of?”

In the furious roars, the image of the ‘Bloody Emperor’ crumbled like glass and returned to the normal appearance of the Supreme Emperor. But at this moment, the Supreme Emperor was holding his head and crouching like a broken piece of rotten wood in excruciating pain.

“I—I’m scared of you. No. I’m scared of myself!”

He breathed heavily. Every muscle on his body was trembling violently because of the excruciating pain that was worse than death. “I knew clearly how strong my ambitions and desires were. I was not a normal person, but a monster born in a laboratory. When I was just an embryo, too many messy things had been injected into the depths of my genes, especially slaughtering, destroying, and conquering… I was afraid that I would be lost, lost in the power that was too strong and violent. I was even lost since the moment I ascended to the throne of the Supreme Emperor!

“I, who had only awakened one tenth of my strength, was worshipped by billions of people like a devil. Just for the title of ‘Supreme Emperor’, I expanded the flames of war and committed the sin of endless slaughter. If I were to receive the legacy of the creator of the black wall, where would I lead the civilization of mankind? What would all mankind become?

“No. I can’t do that. I’m not qualified to receive the legacy of the creator of the black wall. I can’t control it. It should belong to someone who is more… honorable!” “You are out of your mind, old ghost. You are completely out of your mind. What do you mean by ‘not qualified’? Who is more qualified than us in the sea of stars? Who?”

The ‘Bloody Emperor’, who was wreathed in black smoke and blood mist, appeared again and screamed hysterically, “Who else? Who else? Who else? You are destroying our hope!

“Whoever it is, they are better than me and us!

The normal version of the Supreme Emperor crawled out of the overwhelming black gas and the bloody mist, too, as if they were each other’s shadow or an inseparable human being. “I am not destroying hope, but preserving it until the right person comes!”

The two Supreme Emperors, or rather, the Supreme Emperors and the Blood God, the darkest side of his soul, collided brutally.

It was as if two fleets were charging at each other at the highest speed in the most intense collision. A million main guns opened fire at the same time, and thousands of destructive spears of light exploded on the rocks like raindrops.

Even though it was just an illusion created by the Supreme Emperor’s powerful telepathic thoughts, Li Yao was still deeply shocked and terrified, as if he had personally experienced the epic battle between the Supreme Emperor and the Blood God.

After a series of dazzling, bizarre illusions, the Supreme Emperor seemed to have returned to normal, but intense redness was flowing in his eyes. He opened his hands and grabbed almost ten ‘Soul Suppressing Nails’. His face was extremely twisted, but he stabbed them into the top of his head resolutely. “Ah!”

His bloody eyes seemed to have turned into two bloody mouths, from which earsplitting shrieks were echoing nonstop. Bloody auras soared into the sky, only to be swallowed by the golden flames that were spurting out of his eyes and burnt into nothingness.

Everything was over.

The phantom of the Supreme Emperor turned from a white-haired old man into a withered corpse curled up in the spiritual residence of the ‘Golden Sun’.

The gravekeeper’s dull voice continued. “I know very well that I am not a qualified tester and heir. Not to mention failing the test, even if I pass the test and receive the legacy of the creator of the black wall, I will only be swallowed by my own ambitions and lead the civilization of mankind to a new catastrophe. “Therefore, while I was still able to control myself, I chose to suppress my soul and destroy my own life… To some extent, this could be considered as atonement for my childhood companions and former comrades who died miserably under my butcher’s knife, right?

“Thankfully, before my soul is completely obliterated, there is still a little bit of time for me to leave my last words. I can also send a scanning magical equipment to the outside world. Inside the scanning magical equipment, there are two things that look like ‘keys’. They can be said to be the keys to open the highest level of the ‘heavenly tower’ or the qualifications to participate in the ‘ultimate test’. There are more than two such keys. I can only hope that all the keys fall into the right hands.

“Now, while I still have the last bit of time, I’ll give you-a bit of advice from the person who saw this will and decided to take the ‘ultimate test’.

“Maybe you are looking forward to the earth-shaking, super-supreme inheritance from me. I don’t mind showing off the generosity of the Supreme Emperor before my death, but I don’t know which aspect of the inheritance I should give you. Besides, no inheritance can be successfully cultivated in a day. Besides, according to my speculation, the key to passing the ‘ultimate test’ has nothing to do with one’s combat ability or wisdom.

“Including the Pangu civilization, there were many experts of the ancient civilizations whose combat ability and wisdom far exceeded mine, but they all failed. So what if you have 50% of my combat ability?

“The key must be somewhere else. Not strength, not wisdom, but something… that the hundred ancient civilizations did not expect.

“Maybe, if you want to pass the ‘ultimate test’, you will have to make a choice that a hundred ancient civilizations failed to make. I don’t have an answer to what it is exactly. You can only look for it yourself.
