Text Chapter 557: The Choice Five Thousand Years Ago

Sha Yulan glanced at Xiong Wuji, seeing that he had no intention of objecting, she pondered for a moment, and said, "The change of Heavenly Tribulation is the biggest change in our Flying Star Realm in the past five thousand years. At that time, I only knew a few things, but after more than ten years here, I slowly analyzed and sorted out the whole picture of the events of that year."

Li Yao's eyes glowed, and he said: "I grew up on the edge of the Star Sea since I was a child. I had never heard of the Heavenly Tribulation before. I had no grievances with the Qi Refiners at all, but I don't know why, when the Qi Refiners of the Lie Sun Tribe saw me , It's like there is a sworn enemy, I can't even say a word, so I fight, it is really unreasonable, even if I die, let me die to understand what happened five thousand years ago, the so-called catastrophe , What is it, is it meteorite rain?"

Xiong Wuji snorted coldly, and said: "Heavenly Tribulation is the greatest catastrophe in the universe, how can it be as simple as a mere meteorite rain?"

He waved his hand, motioning for Sha Yulan to continue talking, but he was sitting beside him with a dull expression, as if he was thinking hard about something.

Sha Yulan said: "I haven't seen a cultivator from the starry sky for more than ten years, and you saved Yan'er's life again. These things are not big secrets on Tieyuan Star. It's okay to tell you." No problem."

"Although these qi refiners, including the Lie Sun tribe, are brutal and violent, their hatred towards cultivators cannot be said to be... for no reason."

Sha Yulan cleared her throat, and continued: "This matter, from the perspectives of both Qi refiners and cultivators, it is fair to say that the public is right, and the woman is right to say that, I will try my best to describe the process objectively without emotion. "

"Brother Li Yao, you should know that our Flying Star Realm was once an important city in the Star Sea Empire era 10,000 years ago, with a large number of Star Sea Fleets stationed there. There are military bases all over the planets, and the level of cultivation and civilization is very high. .”

"At the end of the day, the blood god son, the commander of the empire's expeditionary force, rebelled and became a demon cultivator. Known as the Doomsday Warrior, he set off a civil war. Hundreds of years of war shattered the Flying Star Realm, almost annihilating it."

"However, there are still a large number of relics that can be used here. There are a large number of starship wrecks that can be repaired, and there are six remnants of the Emperor, and their descendants, struggling to survive on various planets and fragmented worlds, slowly becoming six A great sect, leading people to reunite and continue civilization with difficulty."

"The six major sects are all descendants of remnant soldiers, and their organization is naturally much stronger than that of ordinary civilians."

"In the Flying Star Realm, there are wreckage and relics all over the world. You can get a lot of inheritance and analyze infinite magical powers."

"Therefore, the level of cultivation civilization in the Flying Star Realm has recovered very quickly. About six thousand years ago, it had recovered to 60% to 70% of the level of the Star Sea Empire at its peak, but on a smaller scale."

"At that time, the Flying Star Realm had already opened up more than a dozen star fields, and was able to use the energy of seven or eight stars to permanently change the surface appearance and atmosphere of the three planets. They became the homes of mankind."

"On the other dozen or so planets, mining sites have also been opened up to collect precious natural materials and earthly treasures."

"The entire Flying Star Realm is a thriving scene."

"Tieyuan Star. It was the capital planet of the Flying Star Realm at that time, also known as the mother planet. It was the headquarters of the coalition government formed by the six major sects, and it was also the source of the civilization of the Flying Star Human Race."

"In the starry sky, our flying starmen have also repaired a large number of imperial starships, and based on these starships, we have refined newer, larger, faster spar warships that can withstand the broken void and travel through the star sea .”

"That was our golden age. Everyone has only one goal, which is to carry out expeditions and explorations across the world, to discover more brother human civilizations, to unite them, to help them, and to re-form a grand alliance of human civilizations in the universe. "

"At that time, everyone firmly believed that the invincible human civilization would definitely be able to do it"

Sha Yulan was full of longing, and suddenly revealed a bit of bitterness, and said: "Just a year before the expedition fleet was about to set off, the astronomers in the Flying Star Realm suddenly detected an abnormal wave heading towards the Flying Star Realm. Now, after extremely complicated observations and calculations, it was finally confirmed that there were three meteorite showers, one big and two small, aimed at the three habitable planets developed by the Flying Star Realm. The largest meteorite shower went straight to The iron star is coming"

"If it's a normal meteorite shower, how could it be aimed at habitable planets, or three in one go?"

"There is no doubt that this is not an ordinary astronomical phenomenon, but a precise strike."

Li Yao had been listening intently, and when he heard the word "Heavenly Tribulation", he couldn't help but "ah".

Sha Yulan said: "Heavenly Tribulation is the most mysterious phenomenon in cosmology. Whenever a strong person reaches a certain level of cultivation or civilization develops to a certain level, it may trigger a Heavenly Tribulation."

"In the era of the Star Sea Empire, human beings have also encountered many catastrophes. Sometimes they can be resisted by the joint efforts of the emperor and the twenty Yuanshi sects, and sometimes they can't be stopped."

"A catastrophe will often lead to the complete destruction of one or even multiple worlds"

"The astronomy experts in the Flying Star Realm immediately made the most precise calculations on the orbital scale and destructive power of Tianjie, and the final conclusion is..."

"Half and half."

"There is a 50% chance, as long as we mobilize all the resources of the entire Flying Star Realm, we can withstand this catastrophe."

"But there is still a 50% chance. No matter how many resources you mobilize, no matter how you struggle, you can't stop the catastrophe from destroying the three planets."

Li Yao was stunned, and said, "Can't the calculation be more accurate?"

Sha Yulan smiled wryly: "Heavenly Tribulation is the most difficult phenomenon to explain in the modern cultivation world."

"The ancient cultivators believed in gods and Buddhas, and believed in the so-called heaven. It was easy to explain the catastrophe. Anyway, it was arranged by heaven, or punished the good and promoted the evil, or carried out tests. What kind of merits and kalpas, karma and blessings are left and right. Among them, mysterious and mysterious things."

"We modern cultivators don't talk about superstition, let alone believe in the existence of God."

"For ten thousand years, all kinds of superstitions in the ancient world have been punctured one by one by us, and we have found out the objective laws."

"Only Heavenly Tribulation is still mysterious and unexplainable, and has become the most fatal weakness of modern cultivation theory"

"It is said that at the end of the Xinghai Empire, there was a cultivator surnamed Liu, whose dao name was Assassin Xingzhaizhu, who saw through the mysteries of the Heavenly Tribulation."

"However, he quickly lost his temper, got involved in the flames of war, and disappeared."

"So, for something as mysterious and unpredictable as the Heavenly Tribulation, it is not easy to capture its orbit and predict its strike time. Countless astronomers have overdrawn their lives and burned their souls in the process of calculating the Heavenly Tribulation. In the end, the soul was exhausted and died."

"It is said that until the end, the power of the Heavenly Tribulation rests on a certain unpredictable and immeasurable value. If it is an odd number, it is possible to resist it; if it is an even number, it is absolutely impossible to resist it."

"However, dozens of astronomers form a large formation, burn their lives together, and sacrifice together, but they can't calculate this value. Is it an odd number or an even number?"

"The specific details have long been lost in the long river of time. In short, you only need to know this conclusion."

There was a hint of sarcasm and desolation on Sha Yulan's face. Just telling this story seemed to have exhausted all her strength. After taking a breath, she continued: "If there is a 51 chance to resist the catastrophe, or a 51 chance Absolutely can't resist, then everything is easy to handle, the bad thing is the 50."

"At that time, the Flying Star Realm was capable of large-scale star voyages, and also capable of providing absolute defense to a planet, but it required a large amount of resources to be consumed."

"Facing the menacing catastrophe, the cultivators at that time were divided into two factions."

"The first faction, who call themselves the homeland faction, advocates abandoning all the outer planets, concentrating all the population and resources on the parent star, Tieyuan, and using the resources of the entire Flying Star Realm to refine a super-large planet outside the parent star. The star-level defensive formation, use this large formation to resist the catastrophe."

"The cultivators of the Home School calculate that as long as all the resources of the entire Flying Star Realm are concentrated, they will definitely be able to withstand the catastrophe. As long as the parent planet can be preserved, the surrounding mining sites and secondary planets can be rebuilt within a hundred years. of."

"Another sect of cultivators, who call themselves the Starry Sky School, believe that retreating to the Star of Tieyuan is self-destruction and will only lead to the destruction of the entire civilization."

"Since there is already a large fleet, and the star sea navigation technology is highly developed, it is better to concentrate all the resources of the entire Flying Star Realm, modify this fleet, and refine a large number of starry sky fortresses at the same time."

"Anyway, the goal of the catastrophe is the planet, then take everyone out of the planet, live in the starry sky, and become a starry sky civilization"

"Both opinions have pros and cons."

"The theory of the Homeland School is to put all their eggs in one basket. It is of course very good to successfully resist the catastrophe; but if the star-level defensive array is breached, the entire civilization will be destroyed in one fell swoop."

"However, according to the method of the Star School, all the people who originally lived on the planet, from the two-hundred-year-old white-haired old man to the baby in the swaddle, were all migrated to the starship in just a few decades. How easy is it to say?"

"What's more, human beings originated from planets. If they want to completely leave the planets and live in cold and narrow starships, they may not be able to step on the real earth in their lifetime. This kind of change is too cruel for a civilization. "

Li Yao blurted out: "Then you can temporarily live in the starry sky, and then move back to Ironwon Star after the catastrophe is over."

As soon as the words came out of my mouth, I realized that I hadn't thought about it.

The resources of a great world are limited, if all of them are used to refine starships and starry sky towns, then it is impossible to build a star-level defense formation.

Without sufficient defense, maybe Ironwon Star would be completely blown up by the Heavenly Tribulation, so how could it be moved back?

Four chapters for today, there is still a lot of work to be done.

The weather has been getting colder and colder recently, and getting up at five or six in the morning to code words is really too much for me.

Anyway, Lao Niu tried his best, and everyone supported him a lot. For monthly ticket recommendation tickets and so on, just vote if you have one.
