Chapter 3127: Sea of Bubbles

“Huh?”

Li Yao was dumbfounded. He found it hard to believe. “So—so sordid!”

“So, what is going on exactly?”

Li Jialing looked at Li Yao suspiciously. “I don’t know why, but I suddenly have an ominous feeling when I see Brother Yao’s face right now. So, where is the legacy that can save the civilization of mankind and make us transcend millions of years?”

Li Jialing, Li Linghai, Lei Chenghu, and countless other experts who had received the gold keys all stared at Li Yao with burning eyes.

In the meantime, Boss Bai, Long Yangjun, the boxing champion, Xiao Ming, and Wen Wen, who had rejected the golden key, lowered their heads, deep in thought.

Li Yao was soaked in cold sweat.

“Fellow Cultivators, brothers, sages and heroes of the human civilization, please calm down and listen to me.

Under everyone’s heated gaze, Li Yao took a deep breath. His face turned extremely solemn, and deep wisdom beamed out of his eyes. He said solemnly, “Before I explain the whole thing, have you ever heard of a story that is full of wisdom and wisdom called ‘a blessing in disguise’? It is said that there was an old man named ‘Seon’ in the ancient Cultivation world a long time ago...”

“Enough, Li Yao.”

Li Linghai held his forehead. “Time is of the essence. Every second counts. Please cut to the chase and stop rambling. Where is our legacy?”

“Alright, alright. Then let’s not talk about the story of ‘a blessing in disguise’. Everyone, don’t be anxious. Don’t be anxious. This is a serious matter. We have to think about it carefully.”

Li Yao clapped his hands. “Ah, speaking of which, there is a folklore called ‘Gold Axe, Silver Axe, and Iron Axe’. It also contains very rich scientific theories. I don’t know if you are interested in listening to it, but I believe you will understand the eternal mystery of ‘where to be passed on’ after you hear it. Speaking of which, you should know what ‘science’ is, right?”

“We know what ‘science’ is.

Lei Chenghu replied solemnly, “I’ve heard the stories of ‘a blessing in disguise’ and ‘a golden axe, a silver axe, and an iron axe’. So, where is the legacy?”

“This, this...”

Li Yao rolled his eyes for a long time. When he noticed a shadow next to him, his eyes suddenly shone. He pointed at Lu Qingchen and said, “Look, everybody. Lu Qingchen, the most brutal criminal in the Pangu Universe who has committed multiple crimes against mankind and caused trouble, has been captured alive by me! There is no time like the present. Why don’t we give him a fair and just trial here?”

“...” Li Jialing.

“...” Li Linghai.

“...” Lei Chenghu.

Lu Qingchen sighed softly. He did not even bother to look at Li Yao. Instead, he looked at Ding Lingdang and said gloomily, “Now, do you understand why I don’t want to walk on his path?”

“Enough, Li Yao.”

Veins were bulging out of Ding Lingdang’s temples. “Just tell us what is going on. Is it true that the test is not over yet, or is it not a test at all?”

“What? The ultimate test is not over yet?”

The experts were greatly alarmed. They looked at each other in bewilderment, with cold sweat flowing out of their hearts.

“Don’t worry, everybody. At least we are safe for now.

Li Yao smiled bitterly and extended two of his fingers. He sighed and said, “Alright. I’ll get straight to the point and tell you the whole story. First of all, I have good news and bad news. The good news is that the civilization of mankind has passed the approval of the Primeval Civilization. More than half of the civilization has passed. It should be safe in the next hundreds of years.

“Besides, we have also received a very rich legacy. Oh, not just one, but a hundred of them! Although the hundred legacies can only be redeemed with our courage, wisdom, and sweat, they are different from what you imagined.

“As for the bad news... This... This is not good. This virtual space is about to collapse. Everyone, quickly hold on to your belief and stabilize your soul to resist the impact!”

In the virtual space, deep inside the vast sea of stars, countless interweaving golden cracks were indeed appearing, as if thousands of golden snakes were dancing in the sky.

The virtual space had been built by the super program of the Primeval Civilization for the purpose of testing. Now that all the testers had made their own choices, there was no need for them to continue existing.

In a moment, the vast sky was shattered, revealing the more brilliant information and digital streams behind the brilliant stars that were assaulting the souls of all the testers like surging torrents.

Faced with the assault of the torrent, the testers had no time to question Li Yao. They could only resist it with their strongest will.

Li Yao was no exception. Under the assault of the torrent of information, he soon lost track of everybody, especially Ding Lingdang and Lu Qingchen. Only the mental devil was able to join hands with him in time and combine their personalities.

“Ah!”

Li Yao felt that he was a fly in a toilet bowl. His head was spinning, and he could only drift along with the current. Very soon, he was swept into the bottomless darkness.

All kinds of information regarding the demise of the Earth civilization and the rise of the Primeval Civilization, as well as the flashing lights and shadows of the tests such as the ‘Snowy Mountain’, the ‘Heavy Sea’, and the ‘Thunder Valley’, flashed in front of his eyes. Before he realized what was going on, he had been dragged out of the tower by a weird force and thrown far away.

BOOM!

A thunderclap that contained endless vitality and possibilities burst forth like spring thunder, awakening the oily drizzle. It was clear, cool, and pattering as it fell upon Li Yao’s face, awakening him from his muddled and absent-minded state.

“This is...”

It took Li Yao quite a while before he was able to adapt to the exceptionally real light and touch.

He discovered that not only had he been thrown out of the virtual space, he had also been thrown out of the magma pool of the snow mountain together with the ‘sun catastrophe’, the undersea turbulence of the super-heavy ocean, the lightning of Thunder Valley, and the entire Tower of Heaven. He had returned to the City of Silver outside of the Tower of Heaven.

He was lying among the broken walls of the City of Silver. Protected by the mustard suit, the crystal suit, and the giant soldier, he was not hurt at all. The emptiness and exhaustion in his mind were gone, too.

The tower was still hundreds of meters away from him.

But its appearance was completely different from before.

The previous tower seemed to be a giant pillar that had been entirely built. It was flawless without the slightest flaw or crack.

Right now, after the assault of countless human experts, the tower seemed to have been ‘unlocked’. All kinds of complicated runes appeared on the surface of the tower. Streaming stripes that seemed to be the marks of life zigzagged upward and filled the entire tower.

Moreover, when the streaks of spiritual gas climbed to the top of the tower, the top of the tower was like a blossoming flower, with branches that looked like crowns growing out and spreading out.

Li Yao had a weird feeling.

The Supreme Tower seemed to be alive and thriving, just like the civilization of mankind today.

The tower was growing fast. The silver ‘trees’ soon covered more than half of the sky, forming a complicated, splendid dome that covered the entire Silver City. The interconnecting silver ‘branches’ were also bearing abundant fruits. Every ‘fruit’ seemed to represent a world fragment in various forms, waiting for human beings to explore and conquer.

“So, this is the true form of the Skysplit Tower. Is it a training facility?”

Li Yao thought to himself, The ghosts of the Primeval Clan did not abandon us after all. They left such a special ‘training tower’ for the strongest human beings to break the limits of life and civilization!

As for the ferocious beasts that had been invading the City of Silver and attacking the Tower of Heaven...

There was a weird, sweet smell in Li Yao’s nose. He looked around and found that most of the ferocious beasts, including the Armored Storm Dragon that was almost a hundred meters tall, were gone. What replaced them was a pink, half-solid ocean. Giant bubbles were popping up nonstop, covering the entire Silver City.

In the ‘deep end’ of the pink ocean, mottled statues and enormous skeletons were standing. If one observed carefully, they would discover that they were the remains of enormous ferocious beasts.

It seemed that Li Yao and the rest of them had stayed in the ultimate test for too long. The beasts, which were artificial and short-lived like shooting stars, had run out of the last bit of energy in their cells and collapsed.

Li Yao recalled the final test, in which ‘Death of All’ and ‘Dragon Lotus Seed’ perished. The picture of his body turning into thousands of bubbles was exactly the same as the bubbles popping up in the pink ocean.

Therefore, it was also possible that the Primeval Civilization changed the frequency of the ‘light of life’ after it found its true successor and turned the previously vigorous, invisible waves of light into destructive death rays, wiping out all the deformed mutants whose genes were extremely unstable.

Theoretically speaking, the picture of thousands of deformed creatures turning into an ocean of foam should be extremely bloody and terrifying.

However, Li Yao felt that the picture in front of his eyes was filled with indescribable tranquility, serenity, and holiness, as if the rays of light blossoming from the depths of the Heaven’s Origin Sector were not killing or destroying but freeing countless souls who were struggling in pain from the deformed and mutated bodies and giving them eternal rest.

Bubbles. Thousands of bubbles were dancing in the air, illuminated by the silver brightness of the tower. They were no longer as hideous and terrifying as when they were ferocious beasts.

Genes were the carriers of information. Cells were the containers of genes. Life was just a boat that carried the information of cells, genes, and even the soul. They swayed in the cold, dark sea of stars and carried the information from the past to the future. The lives in front of them had fulfilled their destiny. It was time to return to nothingness.
