Forty Millenniums of Cultivation

Chapter 3088: The Immortal Palace in the Eye of a Storm

Li Yao's hesitation was clearly revealed in front of the moon watchers by means of a brainwave transmission.

Moon watchers blushed and lowered their heads for a long time before smiling bitterly: “Yes, it wasn't until a long time ago that I learned that there was so much suspicion, anxiety and fear about our excavations and research in the Immortal Palace that even after the 'ultimate test set by the ancestors, it was very likely that in an instant it would be decided whether to save or not our civilization’ was secretly revealed, there would be such a big wave of chaos.

“There are many people out there - principally those who seal their feelings and will - who believe that we should continue to plunge billions of years of Pankos, who believe that we should not suddenly touch the secrets left behind by our ancestors, even very extreme fundamentalists, who believe that the Black Wall was built to protect us from the floods, and that any attempt to overthrow the Black Wall is a betrayal of our ancestors and will suffer the worst punishment, as evidenced by the remains of hundreds of civilizations.

“There are, of course, countless people, mainly those who are enthusiastic, impulsive, born empty, adventurous, women who believe that the mysteries of the original ancestors should not be solved, qualified for the ultimate test, monopolized in the hands of our ‘Immortal Palace', but that the relics of Tai Ancient should be opened to all the people of the entire civilization, gathered the wisdom and courage of all and solved the problems together.

“And for the vast majority of ordinary people, they cannot bear the price of the instantaneous destruction of an entire civilization. Even if one thinks about it, one hundred ancient civilizations have not succeeded, how can one believe that we will be different and that we will succeed? They believe that our action was purely a suicide of moths and civilizations, so they initially supported the views of Pankonian fundamentalists, exerting enormous pressure on the highest authorities to immediately suspend exploration and research in the ruins of Tai Ancient and to withdraw all ‘Immortals'.

“All in all, these chaotic, disturbing tides of thought have grown stronger and more arrogant, but have evolved into a flood that is about to sweep through the Immortal Palace. ”

Li Yao heard this and couldn't help but say: “In fact, thinking from the perspective of ordinary people, thinking that you are committing suicide without trying to be unreasonable. After all, the attempts of hundreds of civilizations have failed...”

“But we have no choice! ”

The Moon Watcher screamed, "Do you think a whole hundred ancient civilizations are well-developed limbs, simple minded reckless men, or are there suicidal genes with moth-flames deep inside the genes to fight for fear and then do stupid things? Even if the first twenty civilizations didn't know the ultimate test was powerful, they were caught up in it when they understood it. The dozens of civilizations behind them had discovered the relics and remains of the previous dozen civilizations. They knew the dangers of the ultimate test. Why did they go to the next stage and die without regret?

“The logic is simple, because when these civilizations have the ability to discover and penetrate the ruins of too ancient a place, their civilization has reached its peak, and it has crossed a turning point in the rise and fall, a demographic explosion, a scarcity of resources, social unrest, and the climb of killing techniques and war machines has culminated in the development of weapons sufficient to destroy themselves and the planet in an instant - they are already dying and can only watch their civilizations go to extinction, which no wise scholar and brave warrior can stop.

“That is why, when they have no choice, they venture into the ruins of too ancient to try to save their civilization by ‘ultimate testing’.

“The same is true of Pangu civilization.

“Of course, we can withdraw from the ruins of too ancient a place to seal them completely, but even then, the ultimate destruction of our civilization cannot be solved. What is the difference between moving the time of death backwards by thousands, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of years, from the moment it was destroyed to living and dying in an iron house with no ventilation? If there is any difference, the latter way of dying will only expose the ugliest side of our civilization before dying, and it will only be a great disgrace! It's so simple, why don't the people outside understand? ”

Li Yao Biao smiled: "You also said that you grew up in a very special environment. Since childhood, you have been accustomed to the rise and extinction of hundreds of civilizations. The brilliance of civilizations is nothing more than fireworks in your eyes, so you can look at this issue with extreme calm.

“But for the vast majority of ordinary people, as well as for politicians, soldiers and rulers who are accountable to ordinary people, it is impossible for ordinary people to suddenly say, 'Let's fight now, after hundreds of thousands of years,' which is neither understandable nor acceptable.

“Besides, there are also the interests of politicians, the ambitions of warlords, hidden deep in our genes, the survival instincts of asthma prolonged...”

Moon watchers shook up and sighed: “Perhaps you were right. Anyway, Pangu civilization was already in a whirlpool of wind, wind and thunder, and our Immortal Palace, like a stormy 'wind eye', enjoyed a moment of tranquillity. I was fortunate to be born in such a brief and precious tranquillity. After growing up, I inherited my father's clothes, researched the frontier of genetic replication and fusion, and came into contact with my father's research project —— you already know what that is? ”

“Yes.”

Li Yao nodded, “After you perceived the failure of a hundred ancient civilizations, you dared not to activate the ultimate test, but instead sought to replicate the creators of living black walls, peeking into the mystery of the ultimate test from them, even using them to participate in the test, greatly improving the success rate. ”

“That's right, amazing insight and inference. ”

Moon watchers praised Li Yao and continued, "The ‘Duplication of Original Ancestors' project is the most important and most difficult of thousands of simultaneous research projects throughout the Immortal Palace. It is the core and crown of the entire 'Immortal Palace Project'. My father has been the latest project leader for centuries.

“He was intoxicated in the frontier of genetic replication and fusion, a talented man, a rare genius of a millennium, even in a place like the Immortal Palace, where almost everyone was expert scholars, and he was remarkable.

“And after the accident that happened to my mother, he got carried away and went to work in obsolescence.

“I can see his mind, for him, that the matter of 'replicating the ancestors' is not just for civilization as a whole, but also for my mother, his wife.

“He's going to replicate the real ancestors and grab them by the neck and question them so hard, why is this all happening?

“Why did the ancestors find this resourceful and stable star sea and seal it all with a black wall?

“Why did the ancestors create everything from their genes, even countless civilizations, and wipe them out over and over again?

“Why did the original ancestors leave such a wealth of treasure and advanced heritage for future generations of civilization, but set a mystery without even the right answers, as if only to make a cruel joke, give one civilization hope at a time, then take away hope and push this civilization into despair in the infinite abyss?

“Most importantly, I know that the father wants to find a cure for the mother from the original ancestors, the father has always refused to believe that the mother is really dead, he firmly believes that the mother is still alive, in the wonderful form of 'black iron life', living in a slow metabolic speed of hundreds of millions of times, he wants to scratch thorns, go to the soup fire, remove all difficulties, wake up his wife!

“At first, I naturally did not understand the madman of my father. I thought he was on the verge of a mental breakdown, and special measures should be taken to further suppress the emotional areas in his brain. Otherwise, he would most likely suddenly, like many uncles and aunts, become a complete madman in the study, confused, yelling, dancing and dancing.

“However, the father's willpower was incredibly strong, and no matter how he relied on his mother's black iron statue to tear his heart apart and tear his lungs and hysteria in the middle of the night, the next morning he would always return to normal, red eyes, go back to the lab and study it with dedication, and not a single piece of data would go wrong.

“By the influence of my father, I also became increasingly suspicious - did my mother die? Although she has no response to heartbeat, respiration and metabolism, and the blood cells around her have all mutated into another unknown substance, will her soul still be stored in this magical substance, waiting for one day to reunite with her family?

“I remembered the researcher who had fallen into the gap between time and space and had fallen into the void for centuries before reproducing himself.

“Could it be that the mother's soul fell into such a non-existent rift, struggling and groping in a maze of voids that one day she would find an exit as long as neither she nor we gave up?

“So I became, like my father, a ‘little madman’.

“I can't wait to find an ‘ancestor', find out what's going on, and ask him if he can save my mother.

“At that time, after hundreds of years of experimentation, we had replicated a group of carbon-based intelligent lives with 100 percent protogenes, people like you.

“But these humans are merely simple piles and coagulations of the original genes, they are shapely counterfeits, or they are still in spore dormancy without unlocking the mysteries of the genes, and they cannot say a star and a half about the mysteries of hundreds of millions of years ago, too ancient, no matter how they are studied and induced and hypnotized.

“These humans, naturally, are not what I'm looking for.

“Fortunately, at this point in time, Father's research made a major breakthrough, and he did cultivate a very special 'protoembryo’! ”
