Chapter 2990 Battle of Monsters

A lot of materials, together with super-heavy energy, would be condensed when they collided with each other at a high speed. They would grow larger and larger, forming their own gravitational field and magnetic field. Eventually, all kinds of planets would be born. Such a phenomenon was very common in the early years of the big bang. Most of the stars, planets, and other high-density, large-mass celestial bodies in the universe were formed in such a way.

However, since the birth of the Pangu Universe, hundreds of billions of years had passed. The best time to create stars and planets had passed, and the universe had entered a relatively stable mature period.

In this phase of the universe, most of the celestial bodies that were born under certain conditions had already been born. Generally speaking, very few celestial bodies above the planetary level were born.

It was a miracle that two stars exploded at the same time and spurted out tremendous materials and energy. It was also a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for new celestial bodies.

But the conditions were just the conditions. Judging from the environment and the astronomical parameters of the Gemini Nebula, it was still very unlikely that a new star or planet would be born.

It was because the materials and energy outbreaks resulting from the supernova explosions were spreading in all directions. The materials and energy that collided were only a small proportion of the mass of the two nebulae.

Before the matter and energy reached the critical point of the birth of a new celestial body, two neutron stars were already right in front of them, interfering and tearing them apart. The new celestial body was destined to die in the womb. After several futile struggles, the mass of matter that it had barely condensed completely collapsed. It was not until then that the Gemini Nebula was truly stabilized.

However, compared to the boundless sea of stars, the enormous stars, the neutron stars, the high-density nebulas, and the radiation swirls, the starships of human beings were much smaller than dust. Even if they were not fully formed yet, they could still cause tremendous interference and damage to the sailing of the sea of stars, or even destroy the fleet of human beings in the worst case scenario.

Therefore, the astronomical environment in the depths of the Gemini Nebula was more complicated than ever. It was not suitable for a fleet of such a large scale at all. Only a few elites who were more capable than human beings could break through the storms and the turbulence and retrieve the glittering and dangerous crown left billions of years ago.

It was also the biggest reason why Li Linghai did not dare lead the army of the Star Ocean Imperium to enjoy the food alone.

If the army of the imperium happened to be engaged in two cosmic storms in the depths of the Gemini Nebula and suffered total annihilation, the imperium and the path of immortality would be doomed.

On the other hand, if the capture and exploration squads were lucky enough to break through the Gemini Nebula and enter the 'Gold Throne, Heaven's Horizon', they would be somewhat relieved.

Li Linghai told the experts present that the 'Gold Throne', the Firmament Sector, boasted a very solid space structure. It might have been a shelter built by the Pangu Clan or the makers of the black wall. They were not scared of the wind and waves of the outside world. As long as they entered the place, they would not be hurt at all no matter how furious the high-energy particle streams and rays were.

Last time, when he was exploring the 'Gold Throne, Cloud Realm', Li Linghai had left a lot of exploration tools, weapons, ammunition, food supplies, and even a set of alert and automatic attack barriers. Unless the dead were resurrected, there shouldn't be too much danger on the surface. Of course, this was only referring to the outermost layer of the 'Gold Throne, Heaven's Horizon'.

The secret treasures in the outermost layer had been emptied by Li Linghai a long time ago. There was no value in exploring them. Their target this time was to follow the footsteps of the Pangu Clan and explore the items left by the creator of the black wall.

In order to enter the second floor, Li Linghai and Li Yao would each need half of the keys.

However, for such an important base or shelter, there had to be more than one simple way to enter it with a key. At the very least, the highest clearance of the entire base should be controlled by the 'half-Fuxi', and Lu Qingchen had the data pieces of the 'half-Fuxi'. Would he be able to sneak in through the key?

It must be noted that Lu Qingchen did not have a real body. He could carry the waves and sneak in. As long as he found an invisible gap, he could sneak in like smoke and open the door from the inside so that his soldiers and puppets could march in.

Making the best use of every second, he finalized the preliminary details. Over the next seven days, the federation, the imperium, and the Holy Alliance were all activated like machines that had been fully functioning. The most capable experts, the most advanced starships, the Giant God Soldiers, and the crystal suits, as well as the most abundant marrow crystals and strengthening drugs, were shipped to the forward bases in the Seven Seas Space Zone.

It was an operation that did not require any discussion or unified ideology. It was a level higher than the Pangu Civilization. The legacy and mysteries left by the 'black wall maker' might have enlightened the entire Pangu Universe and upgraded the three thousand Sectors into 'thirty thousand Sectors' or even 'three million Sectors'. The significance of the operation was beyond everyone's imagination.

In the beginning, many Cultivators of the older generation were hesitant and suspicious, wondering whether or not they would expose themselves by risking contact with the Pangu Civilization, the makers of the black wall, and even the Flood Tide Legion. Therefore, they were considering whether or not they should take their time and develop in silence for hundreds of years. But right now, even such concerns were gone, because Lu Qingchen had gone!

Even if other people were unwilling to make trouble, Lu Qingchen would certainly make trouble.

Besides, even if Lu Qingchen didn't try, the Immortal Cultivators would certainly try anyway. It would be a life and death struggle.

Just like that, after only seven days, the three major forces of the Pangu Universe had finished an unbelievable assembly with the highest efficiency. Almost all the experts above the middle level of the Nascent Soul Stage had gathered in the Seven Seas Space Zone. The battle-type Cultivators who were the pillars of the space zone were all present.

All the starships, giant soldiers, crystal suits, and other auxiliary exploration magical equipment had been repaired. The last cannonball and the last crystal had been loaded, too.

Right now, there was only one thing left.

At the periphery of the Seven Seas Space Zone, far away from the vacuum illuminated by the stars, on the orbit of the seventh planet, which was the largest in size, stones and dust. The stones roared and constituted a torrent of destruction at an extremely high speed, which flowed around the enormous brown planet endlessly. When the brightness of the star was completely eclipsed by the No. 7 planet, the temperature would drop below zero, and all the stones would turn into solid ice. When the intense radiation of the star appeared, the temperature would soar again, making the real ice crystals burn furiously.

The abrupt change of temperature, the destructive torrent of stones, and the enormous gravitational field of the seventh planet made the seemingly splendid, glittering ring a forbidden area for all life. Even the starships of the Star Ocean Imperium had to be extremely vigilant when they were accelerating with the help of the enormous gravitational field of the planet, lest they were swallowed by the ring and the planet.

However, today, an unbelievable scene unfolded in the burning halo.

It was a human being. Almost a hundred human beings appeared in the middle of the rings. They were rushing like bullets, colliding and exploding among the stones like cannonballs.

The human beings…

Each of them was tall and strong, with colorful, raging flames all over their bodies. Some of them were even wreathed in electric arcs that looked like dragons and thunderbolts. They were changing into various forms, carrying the dust and stones nearby into their own magnetic field and accelerating into fireballs and balls of lightning! Enormous planets, magnificent rings, and stellar radiation that looked like an ocean of flames… Against such a magnificent background, the human beings looked like the legendary deities.

With a closer look, one would notice that the equipment of the human beings was different and divided into three levels.

More than half of them were wearing delicate and glamorous crystal suits and carrying marvelous weapons that were embedded with marrow crystals.

One third of them were not wearing crystal suits. They were only wearing thin armor and mustard-seed suits that had been installed with a fully-enclosed life-support system.

Some of them were not even wearing armor. Their mustard suits were not even equipped with an airtight life-support system. In other words, they did not even carry any compressed oxygen with them and simply showed up in the vacuum where the stars were shooting, the temperature had suddenly changed, and the stones were flying everywhere!

Were they human beings or monsters, or the new direction of human beings' evolution billions of years later?

No. Maybe in less than billions of years, under the threat of survival, the speed of evolution had always been faster than anyone could imagine.

The hundreds of 'human-shaped monsters' were naturally the best experts representing the federation, the imperium, and the Sanctuary Alliance.

It was the final training before the three teams set off.

The relationship between the three parties was more complicated than ever. Nobody could foresee the changes of the situation when they entered the mysterious ancient tomb. There were major problems in communication, dispatch, and commands.

Not to mention that, in the face of the primeval treasures that boasted immeasurable power, the belief of every expert in every organization could be transformed, sublimated, or corrupted instantly, turning them into a different person.

One second was all it would take for a Cultivator to turn into an Immortal Cultivator. An Immortal Cultivator could turn into a crazy animal. Even for information lifeforms such as Xiao Ming and Wen Wen, how could they know that their data would not overflow and that their underlying logic would not collapse?

Therefore, in a training session where everyone was trying their best to get to know each other better, it was necessary for them to learn more about each other's capability so that they could better understand who was the boss and who was the boss. At the very least, it was necessary for them to understand the simple logic of 'there are more than a hundred monsters here. Whoever wants to hide an ancient treasure and be attacked by all the other monsters will certainly die without a grave'.
