Currently, the Colossus of Rhodes is passing through the star gate and on its way to the Triple Star.
Yang Ming arranged various tasks in the captain's room.
The current overall strategy is still as originally discussed, with Yang Ming, Klia, and Li Xiaoge each exploring a planet.
Other team members are responsible for controlling the warship, installing life-support satellites, and, if necessary, conducting artillery support.
Of course, this is an act of betrayal. Whether you want to do it or not depends on the notification from Eye of the Moon.
What we need to do now is to obtain information from Theia again and assign their respective mission targets.
Previously, they had only briefly discussed which planet the three captains would go to respectively, but they only looked at the surface and took it for granted that whether the compatibility was good or not would have to be evaluated by Theia.
"So, what is the most essential difference between the planets ruled by the emperor and us?"
Now Yang Ming mainly wants to ask why the emperor can be the overlord of the Human Alliance, and what role she and her people play in human history.
[Theia: Do you want to know about her origin? Then I will tell you from my perspective. 】
She began to describe the truth she had witnessed,
[Theia: That is a story before the birth of human civilization today. If calculated based on the AD era of the earth's calendar, the emperor's era was about 60 million BC. 】
"More than sixty million years ago?"
Yang Ming ejected from the chair and felt incredible.
"Are you serious? At that time, the ancestors of Homo sapiens were still small mammals, right?"
[Theia: You heard me right, I have been observing everything on the earth since 9.6 billion years ago. It was at that time that a human race existed. 】
"In other words, the 'ancient era' in historical records refers to that time?"
[Theia: Yes, that is the ancient times. The reason why the specific time is not marked is because there is nothing we can do about it. 】
No wonder, I have always been puzzled before as to why an ancient era would appear out of thin air. It turns out that this is what happened, but...
"Are they humans? What is their relationship with us?"
[Theia: From a genetic point of view, you and them are of the same origin, but they are separated on the timeline. In short, I call them the old humans and you the new humans.]
New humanity and old humanity, there is nothing to complain about.
"The key question is, what happened at that time? Why did the epoch occur?"
[Theia: You should remember that in historical records, a big event happened in the timeline of old humans. 】
If we were to say what major events occurred in more than 60 million BC, wouldn’t it be...
"Are you saying that a meteorite hit the earth and caused the extinction of the dinosaurs?"
[Theia: Yes, but that is just one of the events that can be discovered by new humans. In fact, the old humans coexisted with dinosaurs at that time, and could also use dinosaurs as mounts. 】
"So it was a meteorite impact that caused old humans to disappear along with the dinosaurs?"
This reasoning can only be established from the perspective that both parties are mortal bodies. However, after all, the emperor is the founder of the magical system and the one who awakens spiritual energy, so the possibility is not high.
[Theia: How is that possible? It was just a meteorite. In fact, the situation at that time was a large-scale alien invasion of the earth, and even gods were involved. 】
"This situation is indeed troublesome. Humanity was able to resist the alien invasion in the golden age mainly by relying on the strategic depth of the vast star field to carry out roundabout operations. It is too difficult to have only one planet."
If you really want to eliminate the species quickly, you only need to bomb the entire planet surface. The difficulty is very low for interstellar civilizations.
It's just that planets, especially habitable planets, are very important resources, and generally they will not choose to directly attack them with the scale of destroying stars.
[Theia: Yes, in the end, the old humans had to face a life and death crisis, and the entire planet's species also ushered in mass extinction, and meteorites were just one of the ways of attack. 】
"So how did they survive in the end?"
Since the emperor now rules a galaxy, it means there must have been some means to counter the alien invasion.
[Theia: You should still remember the ‘12 Apostles’, right? 】
It was the information provided by the Demon Lord Ammonius who was next to Julius on the Vampire Star.
"The 12 apostles are the ones assigned by the emperor. Do you mean to say that they are the key to the continuation of the old humanity to this day?"
[Theia: Well, in fact, the 12 Apostles directly took a group of old humans with them, took a spaceship, and left the earth. The mission was also awarded by the emperor at that time. 】
"Oh, the 12 Apostles left the earth mainly to seek some ways of survival of the old humans, right?"
[Theia: Yes, the main task is to survive. In addition, not all the apostles are carrying humans, only a few of them are responsible, and the others directly ran into the universe in single form. 】
"I can understand this, because among the 12 apostles, only a few have clearly developed alien races."
These foreign races have so far seen the Feather Race (the second apostle, the God of Faith), the ghost race (the third apostle, the King of Ghosts), the blood race (the fourth apostle, the ancestor of the blood race), and the demon race (the sixth apostle, the demon king).
Yang Ming alone knows the identities of the eight apostles, which means that there are currently four apostles existing in a single form, namely the first apostle, the leader of the pioneers, the fifth apostle, the fountain of youth, the seventh apostle, and the first universe management.
Member, Eighth Apostle, Devourer of Worlds.
[Theia: Yes, the alien race was created by those apostles. 】
The truth about the alien race is clear, but there is still a key question.
"Then, what is the emperor himself doing?"
[Theia: The old humans either died in battle or left the earth. She ended up alone, and fought a protracted decisive battle with the aliens on the earth. 】
"Oh, that sounds pretty impressive."
Yang Ming felt excited. He didn't expect that the emperor was so powerful and courageous. It was time to kill all the aliens.
[Theia: Although it is a very royal development, it is a pity that the emperor's own ability is actually very mysterious.]
"How do you say this? She is the developer of the fairy magic system. How exactly does she use these tricks?"
It is still necessary to know the information about the opponent's ability, after all, you may have to face the situation of fighting her.
[Theia: The magical technique she uses is a move called 'Soul Diversion'. The specific effect is that it can absorb the souls of the dead and transform them into her own aura.]
"I'll go. Is it so evil?"
Does this mean that the soul is broken down? If so, it can be said to be the most malicious psionic spell.
[Theia: It would be okay if she just absorbed souls. So many old humans died at that time, so her strength would naturally improve a lot. The key is...]
"What's wrong? Tell me."
Seeing that she was hesitant to speak, Yang Ming urged Theia to speak quickly.
[Theia: The key is that the emperor has opened a backdoor to the entire immortal system from the underlying structure. She can directly sense all the immortal cultivators in the universe and use 'soul diversion' to absorb part of their spiritual energy. 】
"..."
Hearing this sentence, Yang Ming was stunned. After he calmed down, he said,
"Wouldn't that mean that Clea is in danger?"
[Theia: Well, I am also aware of this, so I don’t dare to say it.]
It's broken. If you eat melon and eat it on your own head, what should you do?
"To be honest, this situation is not good. If the Emperor threatens me with Clea, it will be over."
But no matter what, we can only discuss the issue first.
[Theia: I don’t think it will affect life safety. Her technique is most effective for dead people. The living cultivators will probably be deprived of their cultivation at most.]
"This is too bad. Alas, I didn't expect her to be such a person. I thought for a moment that she was a hero fighting for mankind?"
"Is not it?"
At this moment Yang's voice suddenly came.
"What do you think? Yang."
"Ultimately, the decision was made to expel the aliens. I don't think she is the kind of person who would sacrifice others indiscriminately. It's just that she is forced by the situation, or in other words, this is the price of power."
At this time, Yang seemed extremely calm and his attitude was much more indifferent.
"...It's not that I can't understand it, I can only say that the ways I have obtained power so far have been too simple, and I take it for granted that I can become stronger without having to pay any vicious price."
I am relying on others' charity ability to obtain bonuses, but the method is still too restrictive.
"This is a good thing. I naturally don't want you to go astray. I just don't want you to be biased against a person's character because of the nature of the source of his ability."
"I understand what you said, and I will definitely treat others based on their actual actions."
Yang Ming thought for a while and asked,
"Then I don't know how you met the emperor back then??"
Many of Yang Ming's friends were from the 'Decapitation Operation Force' he was in back then, but the emperor was clearly not a member of that force, so learning about relevant experiences may provide more information.
"There's nothing to say about the process of getting to know each other. After all, they only became active during the war, so we got to know each other naturally."
In other words, they met as comrades. Yang Ming continued to ask:
"Then do you know any information about her other abilities?"
"I know almost the same history you recorded, but I did fight with the emperor back then, and it was very fierce, so I still know a little bit about her abilities."
"Well, what's the specific principle?"
Although I am curious as to why the fight started, for now it is best to continue to focus on the information related to the battle.
"I don't understand the specific principle. I can only intuitively see that she will go back in time."
"Huh? Going back in time?"
Yang Ming couldn't help but exclaimed. Isn't this span too big? Why did it suddenly become a time-based ability?
At present, it is clear that the emperor has two kinds of abilities. One is immortality. She can almost be said to be the pinnacle of this system.
The second is time. The effect is to go back in time, but the specific principle is unknown.
