Chapter 473: 211, Life Deprivation
“Your Majesty, are we just withdrawing like this?”
“Your Majesty, this…”
In the vast hall, a group of Nine Star civilization royalty and ministers were somewhat stunned.
Coming all the way from their home, and just retreating like this?
“Silence.”
The Blood Cauldron King’s cold gaze swept over them, instantly restoring quiet.
The Emperor, seated high above, said calmly, “Earth civilization has inherited the legacy of a previous civilization, burying a weapon powerful enough to obliterate a planet in an instant deep within Earth. How else could we not retreat?”
“Obliterate a planet?”
Below, the royal ministers were all frozen in shock.
Even Star-level Divine Officers, whose power can shake continental plates, would exhaust themselves trying to completely destroy a planet.
Void creatures, though they possess planet-destroying strength, generally require multiple full-force attacks—only some special races or high-power technological weapons can achieve instant planetary obliteration.
Even the Nine Star civilization doesn’t possess such weapons, yet Earth can bring them forth?
Indeed it’s formed from fragments of a second-level civilization’s core…
“But there’s no need to be concerned.”
The Emperor spoke indifferently, “Such extinction-level weapons of second-level civilizations, used to clear the starry sky, cannot maintain material form long-term—each piece lasts only one or two years at most. How many can Earth civilization produce? It’s just a matter of waiting a few more years.”
He glanced around, instructing, “For now, withdraw to Mars and wait.”
Once the royal ministers dispersed, only the Blood Cauldron King remained in the hall.
“Brother.”
The Emperor spoke, “Next, you’ll oversee the Mars outpost. I’m returning to Earth now.”
“Returning to Earth now?” The Blood Cauldron King was surprised.
“As long as I merge into the Void Layer, no one on Earth can detect me,” the Emperor said indifferently. “The threat of Earth people is negligible to me, but you’ll have to wait some years before exploring Earth’s treasures.”
The Blood Cauldron King remained silent for a moment before saying, “It’s fine. Though my lifespan is nearing its end, I still have tens of thousands of years. Waiting a few years isn’t much.”
The Emperor nodded slightly, saying, “With your accumulation, recognizing a Void Essence and controlling the void is still hopeful. If Earth’s ruins help you, I’ll inform you.”
“Thank you, Your Majesty,” the Blood Cauldron King said respectfully.
“I’m leaving.”
The Emperor didn’t say much more, immediately standing up and vanishing into the void.
…
Earth.
Inside the defense base, Lin Qing sat quietly, legs crossed, cultivating while waiting silently.
Suddenly—
In his sensing, the six spaces linked with Earth’s ruins suddenly changed from their original calm state, like ripples on a silent lake after a stone is thrown.
Only he, a Star-level Primordial Realm citizen, could sense the changes in those six ruins.
“Someone has entered the Bronze Demon Mountain!”
Lin Qing immediately extended his telekinesis, sending, “Miss Irenado, have you noticed anyone on Earth entering the Bronze Demon Mountain?”
Miss Irenado promptly replied, “No, I’ve been observing constantly with telekinesis. Do you mean…”
“It appears to be that void creature.”
Lin Qing’s lips curled into a mocking smile, “They came so quickly, truly disregarding us. Just as well… climbing the Bronze Demon Mountain takes a long time, we can start planning.”
…
Mars.
The vast fleet of the Nine Star civilization had already entered Mars and settled down, deploying numerous exploration instruments and defense systems swiftly.
Inside the huge pyramid spaceship, the Blood Cauldron King stood before a pool filled with mucus, watching the life form within pulse, occasionally ordering the intelligent system to add special substances or materials.
The unknown life form in the pool would sometimes tremble, sometimes roar, causing the liquid in the pool to ripple continuously.
“Experiment No. 935 is still not reaching the target…”
The Blood Cauldron King slightly frowned, “The genetic optimization technology based on this has always failed… If this improvement succeeds, the genetic index should break through the 22,000% bottleneck.”
From birth until now, in over a million years, he has always aimed at void creatures.
Even with Ninth Energy Level talent, capable of sensing space, he still struggles to understand the essence of the void, unable to see clearly or recognize it.
Thus he is forced to try those clumsy methods, attempt to comprehend the energy essence of the life system, and try to enhance his genes for more stability when he transforms into a void-level life form in the future.
“If I could go to those second-level civilizations for systematic learning, I’d have succeeded long ago…”
The Blood Cauldron King took a deep breath.
But he also knew well that those living in the Void Secret Realm of second-level civilizations look down on those from level one civilizations like him.
Even void creatures must sign various unequal agreements to truly become members of a second-level civilization.
This universe is inherently filled with hierarchy and cruelty.
“It’s close…”
A strong anticipation filled the Blood Cauldron King’s heart, “Earth is my greatest opportunity…”
Suddenly—
“Lord Governor.”
The spaceship’s intelligent system alert sounded, “The surveillance system near Mars has detected an Intelligent Star Person, Yuan Chen civilization’s elder ‘Cardon’.”
“Yuan Chen civilization’s elder?” The Blood Cauldron King said calmly, “The main force of Yuan Chen civilization was wiped out by Earth people along with the Seventh Prince, right? I didn’t expect Cardon to still be alive?”
The intelligent system reported, “From Cardon’s spaceship data, it seems he wasn’t on Mars on that day, thus narrowly escaping the catastrophe.”
The Blood Cauldron King casually ordered, “Regardless of truth, make him reveal all he knows.”
What do you think?
