Chapter 3029 The Living Pangu Clan!

Long Yangjun was going to continue, when an intense fire exploded behind her. The heatwave and blast destroyed the entire picture. But deep inside the fire, a raging black shadow was dancing crazily.

It was the only useful information that Long Yangjun had left for Li Yao.

Li Yao took a deep breath and calmed himself down. He combined all the information he collected in the past into a glittering necklace.

Firstly, the legends were true. There was indeed a certain technique or magical equipment deep inside the tomb that could freeze time.

Maybe it was something that was a hundred times more delicate than the hibernation system of the Pangu Clan that they had seen in the Kunlun Mysterious Realm, a certain… super hibernation system.

It was possible. Very possible.

It was because the hibernation system in the Kunlun Mysterious Realm had only been built by the Pangu Civilization. The ‘hibernation system’ deep inside the tomb of the Supreme Emperor was most likely built by the ‘black wall maker’, a super civilization from the primeval era. It was even possible that the living ‘black wall maker’ had been frozen!

“That’s right. Assuming that this is really the ‘Black Wall Hub’ that controls the brightness of billions of stars, it is quite reasonable to assign a few of our compatriots to control the switches. What better way to monitor the functioning of the Black Wall than prolonged hibernation?”

Li Yao pondered for a moment. There was nothing wrong with the logic.

According to the legends, the Supreme Emperor entered the depths of the ancient tomb when he was heavily wounded and on the verge of death in an attempt to find a time freeze so that he would be in a “non-living, non-death superimposed state” to forcibly save his life. This could also indirectly prove Li Yao’s speculation.

Then, there was the ‘Light of Life’, the weird radiation that could accelerate the cell activity and gene division.

Li Yao estimated that it was meant for ‘freezing time’.

The reason was simple. If a piece of meat was frozen into a hard rock for a long time, how could he thaw it quickly? Naturally, he would have to set it on fire!

The hibernation technology employed by the Pangu civilization and the human civilization, when a person needed to be woken up after sleeping in the hibernation chamber for too long, would inject some stimulating constituents into the hibernation drugs to accelerate the metabolism, circulation, and brain oxygenation so that the hibernator could be woken up slowly.

If something had been ‘frozen’ in the depths of the ancient tomb for billions of years, what could provide better ‘stimulation’ and ‘freezing’ than the weird radiation such as “Light of Life?

However, once the radiation spread out, it was not as friendly to creatures that were not hibernating for a long time. As far as Li Yao could see, all the creatures were growing, splitting, mutating, and perishing crazily on the genetic level, which was the reason for the terrifying forest.

In the end, Long Yangjun mentioned the virus. The Pangu Underground Palace in the north pole of the ancient sacred world was the place where the Pangu Civilization developed the most advanced biochemical weapons.

It did make sense. Li Yao had thought that it was too simple and crude to pass on such a terrible virus. Since human beings were the brand-new, perfect carbon-based carriers that the Pangu Clan had created for the purpose of passing on their civilization, there was no need to transform human beings into tall, clumsy giants with high energy consumption.

It would make sense if he was studying a biochemical weapon that could attack the genes directly.

When Li Yao was fighting against Fuxi on ‘Ultimate Rescue’, the latter had mentioned that the Pangu Clan, the Nuwa Clan, and all the other intelligent species of the primeval era had all been destroyed by biochemical weapons. The virus that was meant to attack the enemy had undergone unexpected mutations after countless releases and dissemination. It had evolved into an apocalyptic weapon that could annihilate most creatures and the entire primeval era. Only a few human beings were immune to the virus and survived the disaster.

Right now, there were only two questions.

Firstly, if human beings were immune to the virus, how did Meng Chixin and Wu Suiyun contract it? Was the virus unstable in the beginning, or had human beings not been immune yet?

It was an important question because it would determine whether or not Li Yao, Ding Lingdang, Long Yangjun, Li Jialing, Li Linghai, and all the exploration teammates who entered the ancient tomb would be infected by the same virus.

Secondly, and more importantly, shouldn’t the depths of the tomb of the Supreme Emperor be a shelter for the Pangu Civilization? Why was there a virus in this place that was guarded by the other half of the Fuxi civilization?

Li Yao was confused, but he finally saw the light. He could only hope that he could find more evidence and traces to piece together the truth.

After leaving the cockpit, he searched the debris of the starship from top to bottom and found some super-compressed high-nutrition drugs and components that were not corrupted At the rear of the starship, there was a giant hole near the engine compartment. It seemed that the power unit had been fully functioning and exploded, blowing up the ‘ass’ of the starship.

Li Yao walked out of the hole, trying to search for traces of the crew members.

Then, he saw three dark shadows in the forest outside.

The blood all over Li Yao’s body was about to be frozen, but it boiled in the next second and rushed into his brain like magma. He crouched, unsheathed his saber, and released Little Black, which flew to the top of the three figures with a few monitoring crystal cameras.

The three figures drew close from above, but they were still absolutely still. Upon closer inspection, Li Yao discovered that they were not human beings but three broken crystal suits. There was no flesh and blood inside the crystal suits, but they had been filled up by the wriggling weeds, vines, and fungi. Supported by the vitality of a hundred times, the objects were like the internal organs that had been exposed to the air. They were hissing and trying to grow colorful flowers through the gaps of the crystal suits.

Such a weird appearance gave Li Yao a sour feeling that was neither disgusting nor mushy.

Compared to the real horror, he hated the inexplicable strangeness more.

Right then, heavy footsteps echoed in front of the starship again.

All the animals in the forest were fleeing. Even the plants inside the crystal suits were wriggling faster, trying to drag the heavy crystal suits away from the place.

“Another dinosaur is not coming, is it?”

Li Yao slightly frowned.

But it was quite possible.

It was because, if there weren’t even more ferocious beasts chasing after it, how could the first dinosaur flee from its territory in panic?

Besides, if it had not been chasing and fleeing for a long time, the first dinosaur would not have run out of oxygen so quickly and suffocated itself.

Li Yao entered the deep slumber state again. He crept around the debris of the starship and looked ahead.

He saw someone.

A giant was holding the neck of the dinosaur corpse with his knee and digging out its internal organs.

The giant was about fifteen meters tall. His skin was gray and brown, with wrinkles and stripes all over it. If it were not for the clear facial features on his round head, he would have looked no different from the dinosaurs below his knees.

His figure was slightly hunched, and there was not an inch of clothing on his body.

CRACK! CRACK! CRACK! CRACK!

He did not use any tools, but he broke the bones of the dinosaurs one by one with his amazing brute force and dug out their abundant internal organs. He wolfed down the food without doing anything.

“Pangu Clan?”

Li Yao could not believe his eyes. The blood that was boiling just now was frozen again. He had never expected that he would run into a ‘living’ Pangu Clan member under such circumstances.

Although the appearance of the Pangu Clan changed subtly according to the living environment after they occupied the three thousand Sectors…

Although the Pangu Clan seemed to be feasting on raw meat and blood and did not seem to be a highly-civilized intelligent species at all,

But Li Yao was still sure of his identity. The secret was the organ in his lower body.

The Pangu Clan was the same as human beings. They were creatures that reproduced both sexes. There was a difference between men and women.

However, since a long time ago, they had awakened the ability of brainwaves to communicate directly. They were adept at large-scale ‘spiritual communication’ and could get great pleasure from the collective telepathic thoughts. Therefore, they had been training their brain cells and the strength of their mind all day. They were not very interested in the affairs between men and women.

After the expedition army of the Pangu Clan returned from the multiverse in failure and discovered the horror of the ‘black wall makers’ or even the ‘flooding tides’, they had also listened to the advice of Fuxi and sealed their own feelings. Naturally, they could not allow the so-called romantic feelings to disturb the survival of the entire civilization.

Therefore, in the later years of the Pangu civilization, the organs below the Pangu Clan gradually shrank and degenerated. Only the most basic functions were retained, and it was fine as long as they could output the life seeds.

Li Yao had seen a lot of corpses of the Pangu Clan in the Kunlun Mysterious Land and the Pangu Underground Palace. Although most of them would be obliterated the moment they met the air, some precious pictures and files could still be kept. Therefore, he knew the body structure of the Pangu Clan very clearly.

The giant’s body shape, the wrinkles on his skin, and the disproportionately small organ below all proved that he was a member of the Pangu Clan, or from the era when emotions were completely sealed under the suggestion of the Fuxi Clan.

“How did this happen?”

Li Yao felt that time and space were in a mess.

What was worse was that his ‘Incendiary Soldier’ had not been repaired yet. Now that it was riddled with holes and running out of fuel, it could not be activated at all.

How could a crystal suit deal with a living member of the Pangu Clan?

Li Yao’s heart skipped a beat.

Although the Pangu Clan member was naked and looked like a barbarian, his keen senses did not diminish at all. He immediately sensed the changes in Li Yao’s heartbeat and brainwaves. Holding the internal organs of a tyrannosaur, he turned around and stared at Li Yao warily.
