729 Take Off! (1/2)
Wang Baole shook when he heard that.
He had guessed that the coffin had been a gift from his master, but he hadn't realized its purpose. He was to hide inside and sleep away the calamity that was headed his way.
His senior brother's words proved that his guesses regarding the Heavenly Dao were correct. The Heavenly Dao… to a certain extent, could be considered as a supreme weapon.
He also agreed with the Never-Ending Clan's position on the Heavenly Dao. Together with his existing knowledge of the Dark Sect's history, he could somewhat piece together what had happened in the past.
The Dark Sect had changed the Heavenly Dao and written down the laws for the universe. The Never-Ending Clan had gathered the clans to revolt against them and destroy the Heavenly Dao. They had caused the fall of the Dark Sect, then rewritten their own version of the Heavenly Dao. After replacing the Dark Sect, the Never-Ending Clan had continued exterminating survivors of the Dark Sect.
His senior brother was clearly an exceptional case!
Chen Qing watched as emotions flashed past Wang Baole's face. He sighed softly.
”Baole, I know you don't wish to leave your home. But it's necessary that you leave. Your departure will also become a source of hope for the Federation's civilization.”
”Hope?” Wang Baole lifted his head and stared at his senior brother questioningly.
”The Federation is still too primitive a civilization. It's like a child compared to the rest of the universe. It has virtually no means to protect itself. Let's not even consider the scenario of an Eternal Star realm cultivator coming across the Federation. If a mere Planet realm cultivator comes across the Federation and wishes to refine it, he could do so easily!” Chen Qing didn't mince his words. He laid the truth out bluntly.
Wang Baole fell silent. He knew that his senior brother was speaking the truth. The Federation… was undoubtedly a relatively weak civilization. Spirit Qi had only made its appearance in the Federation a few decades ago. The spirit meridians on Earth weren't yet fully formed, and they had to create their own spirit stones.
They might not be an infant cultivation civilization, but it wasn't wrong to call them a mere child when compared to other civilizations.
”Of course, there's still the Vast Expanse Dao Palace on the ancient sword. But in my view, even though there are powerful elders slumbering on the ancient sword, most of them are with serious injury. They might lend a hand if something were to threaten their survival, but if the danger in question is only towards the Federation, will they even be bothered to help? Of course, there's also the question of whether the Federation will still exist when they awake!” Chen Qing stared at Wang Baole as he continued speaking.
His words rendered Wang Baole speechless yet again. He had Little Missy with him, so he believed that there was a great chance that the Vast Expanse Dao Palace elders would become their allies after they woke up. But… this was still a gamble. It was placing one's survival in the hands of others. A sudden change in mindset might be all the difference. Wang Baole wasn't in favor of such passivity.
”What's the point of you remaining in the Federation? If you really wish for your home civilization to evolve and prosper, the best way is to let the Federation civilization become more powerful!
”There are two ways to do that. One is to allow time to do its work. As time passes, the generations will continue to evolve. However, based on the Solar System's potential and its current structure, this method will require a great deal of time. Even if no accident were to befall the Federation during this time, its evolution would still require tens of thousands of years!”
”That's why the second method will suit the Federation better!” Wang Baole lifted his head again when Chen Qing said that. His eyes shone brightly.
”Senior Brother, what's the second method?”
”It's a shortcut. As you advance the level of your cultivation, you will also be helping your civilization consume other civilizations!” Chen Qing paused for a few moments before replying abruptly. His reply revealed the hidden laws by which the universe operated!
”The foundation of every civilization is an Eternal Star! Only star systems with Eternal Stars have the potential to give birth to cultivation civilizations!”
”A civilization's Eternal Star—its sun—is what's most precious to the civilization. That is because the sun is the essence of all life!
”In your Solar System, the sun is your main essence of life. If you can guide your civilization's sun into devouring the Eternal Stars of other civilizations, you can make your sun more powerful. Both its propulsive force and its energy stores will increase. It will become a force of nature in the cosmos!
”The Eternal Stars and the civilizations that it consumes will become its servants. As the Federation's Eternal Star grows increasingly more powerful, the cultivators of the Federation will also see more rapid advancements in their cultivation!
