Chapter 313 - Dragon City One Hundred Years Later (1/2)

Gao Ye cast a deep glance at Meng Chao, but did not answer his question directly. He just continued with whatever he wanted to say, “There are twenty-four hours in a day, three hundred and sixty five days in a year. There is a leap year once every four years. This is something even children know, but if this system is applicable in the Other World as it is on Earth, then it’s really strange and even terrifying.

“This means that the Other World has a similar rotation and orbital period as Earth.

“Of course, it also has similar gravity, supply of oxygen, ozone structure, crust structure, ecosystem, and so on and so forth.

“You must understand, humans had once performed deductions on the planets within hundreds of light years from Earth, but they did not find any planet that was similar to Earth and was inhabitable.

“But we have gone through some kind of mysterious transmigration, and we somehow managed to transmigrate to a planet that is highly similar to Earth. The zombie virus could even instantly spread among us. Don’t you think that this sort of coincidence when there are billions of galaxies in the universe is a bit too ridiculous?

Meng Chao thought about it and nodded before he said, “Yeah. Our transmigration might not be a coincidence. But not even the Supernatural Tower knows what happened. Does your organization know the answer?”

He was thinking of all ways to get more information from Gao Ye.

“No one has the answer, but we can perform some simple deductions,” Gao Ye said. “First, transmigration doesn’t happen randomly. There must be some sort of… super technology that is able to support the creation of a galactical tunnel between Earth and the Other World.

“Second, Other World and Earth’s natural environment and ecosystems were modified before. Either the Other World was modified based on Earth, or Earth was modified with the goal of turning it into the Other World. Of course, there’s another possibility: Both Earth and the Other World were modified based on another habitable planet.

“Since Earthlings and the living beings of the Other World can digest and absorb each other and even spread their viruses between them, this means that we originally belonged to the same ecosystem.

“If we factor in the large amount of sci-fi technology we discovered in the ancient ruins under the Supernatural Tower and how the runic symbols there and some of the ‘diagrams’ we discovered could be formed in the human body, this means that a long time ago, the Other World must have had an advanced ancient civilization, which had a lot of ties with Earth’s civilization.

“Now, this is the problem, do the direct descendants of this ancient civilization still exist? And if so, how strong are they?”

A thought popped up in Meng Chao’s head, and he intentionally said, “I don’t know, Director Gao. What does your organization think?”

Gao Ye did not fall for it. He only smiled faintly and said, “My personal view is that the direct descendants of this ancient civilization still occupy the largest and most fertile land in the Other World. The reason is as you said. If countless fierce and ruthless monsters were driven to Monster Mountain Range, it means that there must be existences that are even more terrifying than monsters in the Other World. Perhaps they are what you would call… the real Other World’s civilization.

“This civilization might not be in possession of the super technology from the ancient civilization that connected the Other World and Earth. In fact, in certain aspects, they might not have reached the standards of Earth’s civilization one hundred years ago.

“One hundred years ago, we had already managed to fire man-made satellites into space and saw the full face of our home planet. We also used high-altitude reconnaissance aircrafts to take pictures of most of the livable space. There is no way we would not know if an unknown civilization arrived on our planet and lived in it for half a century.

“But if we look at it from another angle, this ancient civilization that was incredibly advanced and could create an ecosystem that is practically identical to its planet on a planet that is billions of light years apart couldn’t possibly be completely destroyed. It must have left something behind.

“Since we could discover ancient ruins under the Supernatural Tower, how can we believe that the direct descendants of the ancient civilization living in the boundless Other World would not have discovered more ancient ruins and obtained the power inside them?

“Perhaps their use of that power remains in a very primitive state.

“But even if they use the simplest and crudest method to activate runic symbols, they will pose great trouble to us, the expedition army from Earth.

“They don’t need to have any advanced technology or even the concept of it. They only need to have similar technology and civilization standards as in the Middle Ages along with tens of thousands of Earth Realm elites, thousands of Heaven Realm elites, and nearly one hundred Deity Realm elites.

“Through guerilla tactics, unrestricted warfare, and all sorts of destructive methods, they would be able to stop our colonization. We may kill more than one hundred times the people we lose, but we will still end up with nothing, and the losses will outweigh the gains.

“Based on what I said, the task of conquering the Other World will not be that easy. We will face a long and gruelling war, and it might last thirty years, fifty years, and even one hundred years. Don’t you agree?”

Meng Chao could not agree to Gao Ye’s theory. The bloody future in the memory fragments of his past life was even more brutal and tragic compared to Gao Ye’s guesses.

But the war to conquer the Other World would not last for one hundred wars. Instead, in less than fifty years, Dragon City would fail in the colonization war and be completely devoured by the Other World.

Meng Chao looked down, and the spark in his eyes faded away while he asked in puzzlement, “Director Gao, why are you telling me this? Is this related to why you killed President Xie?”

“Of course it is. I don’t have any personal grudges with Xie Xiaolei. We were business partners with a very good relationship. But to save most of the normal people in Dragon City, I must use Spirit Creation Creatures to develop a brand new technology which will deeply change our civilization. This is something Xie Xiaolei will never agree to, so I can only use the worst method to handle the situation.”

Gao Ye sighed and cast another glance at Meng Chao before he said, “As for why I’m telling you this… Perhaps it’s because I’m very impressed with you and believe that there is a certain chance that you will agree with my beliefs and fight for it.”
