Forty Millenniums of Cultivation Chapter 924 - The Only Hope!

Li Yao could not even begin to imagine how sorrowful, painful, and desperate Ba Yanzhi must have been when his cells crumbled, turning him into a pool of dirty ‘gene soup’, and was forced to hide twenty thousand meters below ground without access to sunlight for the rest of his life.

Just the thought of such a miserable future was enough to drive someone crazy.

Even so, Ba Yanzhi did not give up resistance. He carved the feelings when he drank the ‘Divine Water of Kunlun’ of different formulas on the wall of the secret chamber, hoping to give some enlightenment to the latecomers.

When the Nether World Watch was scanning the tiny letters, Li Yao had taken the opportunity to study all the content and commit it to memory.

Ba Yanzhi’s writing style had the distinctive feature of the ancient Cultivators. Modern demons and Cultivators might not have understood what he was talking about, but Li Yao could see through it after a quick glance.

Also, right now, he had received the legacy of Ba Yanzhi’s memory pieces and perceived a lot of new things from Ba Yanzhi’s lifelong story.

Li Yao had mixed feelings. His thoughts flew back to somewhere far, far away.

After Ba Yanzhi turned into ‘Chaos’, he had clearly continued his rebellion and caused a lot of trouble for the Ultimate One Demons.

According to the history books of the Star Glory Federation, forty thousand years ago, after the world of Cultivators collapsed, to fight for the control over the three thousand Sectors, the demons had a civil war that lasted hundreds of years.

The ancient ferocious demon ‘Skeleton Dragon’ that Li Yao met on Boneyard was one of the competitors at the time.

Now that he thought of it, the so-called civil war could have been the competition between the ‘Chaos Demons’ and the ‘Ultimate One Demons’. Judging from the appearance of Skeleton Dragon, it was most likely a general of the ‘Chaos Demons’ or the ‘Ultimate One Demons’, or even an extremely powerful, experimental weapon that had gone out of control and grown independent self-awareness for some reason, say, the destruction of the ‘Chaos Demons’.

After Ba Yanzhi perished, the Ultimate One Demons secured the final victory of the civil war. They established an enormous Demon Beast Empire and ruled over the sea of stars for thirty thousand years in the Era of Doom when the spiritual energy was low.

During the long time, the Ultimate One Demons gradually evolved into the saint-blood demons and the silver-blood demons, who continued living their extravagant, aristocratic lives. The mortals in the past, on the other hand, were modified into bronze-blood demons and black-blood demons, and they asked to mine, farm, and fight.

When the system developed to the highest point, the Pantheon of Demons and the ‘Four Pillars System’ were founded. It was claimed that the social class of every demon was destined and unchangeable. The saint-blood demons would always be saint-blood demons, and it was their natural privilege to enjoy their life. The black-blood demons would always be black-blood demons, and being enslaved was their eternal fate that nobody could defy!

However, a lie was always a lie. No matter how different they appeared to be, they were human beings to their bones. They were human beings who were showing different features of the cell because of genetic modification.

Therefore, the demons of different social classes could mate and give birth to offspring. Due to the different genetic features inside the body of the offspring, it was possible that the original appearance of the cells was restored. It was even possible that higher strength that did not belong to them was activated, thereby exposing the lies of the saint-blood demons and threatening their reign.

It was why the ‘hybrids’ were called ‘chaotic-blood demons’ and were despised as the filthiest lowborn, the ‘untouchable’!

Li Yao’s chest was heaving. The history of the past forty thousand years condensed into a sharp longsword and cut apart the bafflements inside his brain, but a new question occurred to him.

The history books of both the Star Glory Federation and the Flying Star Sector stated that, after the Star Ocean Imperium was established, the Supreme Emperor led an enormous army and marched through the universe, executing all the saint-blood demons in the worlds that he passed and eventually wiping out all the saint-blood demons!

But right now, Li Yao had new doubts.

Li Yao thought of a terrifying possibility and was immediately frightened.

For a moment, the leader of the Ultimate One Demons who was wearing the armor of dragon scales and the image of Xiao Xuance gradually melded into one. They were both laughing gloatingly toward Li Yao.

Li Yao felt that the blood over all his body was spurting up toward his head from which a spring seemed to be bursting out. Feeling choked, he bellowed and jerked up, jumping out of the sand that was almost ten meters deep in only one leap!

Hu!

Lying on the desert, Li Yao stretched out his limbs and looked up at the night sky.

The universe was as boundless as ever, and the bloody moon was shining hideously.

Maybe, in the depths of the boundless universe, the Ultimate One Demons in the past had already established enormous forces that might have different appearances but in fact believed in the same ideology to their bones!

Maybe, such forces were swallowing the stars and contaminating the universe like cancer!

Li Yao watched and thought in silence, with equally scorching flames burning in his eyes that were two different colors.

He suddenly stood up and placed the crystal brain that stored Ba Yanzhi’s billions of telepathic thoughts on the desert squarely. He suddenly kneeled down and bowed toward the Hidden Star Box respectfully.

Li Yao did not know why he did it.

Perhaps, it was for Ba Yanzhi’s hilarious dream, the fantasy that 9,999 people out of ten thousand could have enough food instead of one!

“Senior Ba, thank you. I finally know what I should do right now under your enlightenment,” Li Yao mumbled to himself. The bouncing flames inside his eyes were gradually condensed into sharp brilliance.

“Since many innocent ordinary people were fooled into turning into demons forty thousand years ago, and now that the universe is much more stable, with denser spiritual energy and a less harsh environment, I will help the ordinary people restore their original appearances now that the Era of Doom is over!

“Since Jin Xinyue could turn from a demon into a human being, so can the other demons!

“Aside from the silver-blood demons who are proud of their noble bloodlines, I cannot tolerate a human being modified into mouthless, mindless giant insects creeping on the ground!”

Taking a long breath, Li Yao was making plans solemnly, but his eyes suddenly froze.

Li Yao almost jumped up to his feet.

He had only planned to get a general idea of what was stored inside the Hidden Star Box. He did not expect that the power of the Hidden Star Box would be so high that he was kept in the deep meditative state for the entire day.

He was wondering what was happening right now to Elder Nether Spring and the Fire Ant King.

Li Yao immediately thought of something related to Elder Nether Spring.

He finally understood what Elder Nether Spring was going through all that trouble for.

Elder Nether Spring was not a historian. The truth of the origin of the demon race was not worth the power and investment he had dedicated to the cause at all.

What he was looking for was the star map leading to ‘Kunlun’!

Li Yao’s body felt hot, and his mouth was dry. According to the memory pieces of Ba Yanzhi, the Kunlun Warship was exactly buried, or collapsed, somewhere in the Blood Demon Sector.

Even if it was not on the planet below his feet, it had to be somewhere in the planets, satellites, or world fragments that were close to the Blood Demon Planet!

Judging from the research projects inside the Mausoleum of Chaos, there were indeed a lot of mysteries hidden in the Kunlun Warship, many of which were far more advanced than the technology of the Heaven’s Origin Sector, the Blood Demon Sector, and the Flying Star Sector.
