Chapter 686 - 666: All Humanity’s Support (Part 2)

It’s just like the Mayan Civilization on Earth, it seems impossible for it to have just suddenly gone extinct.

"Are there multiple universes too?" Lu Ke felt that one universe was already infinitely vast. Under these circumstances, could there be another universe?

"Anything is possible." Xu Yi used to probably not believe it, but after experiencing the existence of the Spirit Race, Jialan Civilization, and even the Divine Race, Xu Yi felt that nothing in this universe was surprising anymore.

"That’s true, we once thought that humans were the only intelligent beings in the universe, yet there are countless civilizations out there." As Lu Ke spoke, she couldn’t help but stick out her tongue.

"Hmm." Xu Yi nodded, then walked toward the meteorite crater.

Everyone was gathered in a small square within the meteorite crater, cultivating.

All knew that Xu Yi must have something very important to announce.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have everyone return to Base Alpha to gather.

Moreover, they discovered some people they had never seen before, and they were all Divine Masters.

Where did these people come from? Even Lu Yao and the others didn’t know, which was the most incredible thing.

After Xu Yi appeared, everyone focused their gaze on Xu Yi and Lu Ke.

Xu Yi brought Lu Ke to the small platform and then glanced at the thousands below.

These were considered the core members of the Yi Sect.

Most of the others were on Newcomer Island.

"I have bad news for everyone." Xu Yi paused, then continued, "We are going to war with the Jialan Civilization."

A commotion erupted below.

Xu Yi had previously mentioned the strength of Jialan Civilization, with hundreds of thousands of Divine Masters, many of whom were extremely powerful.

Such a civilization that even the Spirit Race would flatter and trade core technology with for cultivation techniques.

So soon, are we really going to war with Jialan Civilization?

Is this really a war?

Jialan Civilization can easily annihilate humanity, can’t it?

Isn’t humanity too helpless!

Our homeland’s sun is about to explode.

We just thought we were lucky to have found a new home and could finally survive.

But then, an opponents powerful beyond imagination wants to go to war with humanity?

Or not, is about to massacre humanity?

Is there even a way out?

"This battle is inevitable because the Jialan Civilization has taken interest in our Spirit Blue Star and the Spiritual Star of the Spirit Race. Our dwelling here obstructs Jialan Civilization’s plans. Even if they don’t attack us, if they destroy Spirit Blue Star, humanity would also be doomed, as our technology cannot support interstellar travel."

"However, there is good news. The outer space of Jialan Star has supernatural restrictions allowing only Divine Masters below level 15 to leave. You should know, Divine Masters of level 15 cannot survive in space for long. This is why Jialan Civilization collaborates with the Spirit Race. Once they acquire Spirit Race’s technology, their Divine Masters below level 15 can leave Jialan Civilization."

"On Jialan Star, there are creatures even more terrifying than the Jialan Civilization. They call themselves the Divine Race. Jialan Star was originally a prison for the Divine Race. Once the Divine Race breaks free, humans won’t be able to peacefully develop regardless of where we flee. Plus, planets harboring Spiritual Energy are extremely rare; we may not find another one."

"Perhaps you’re thinking that the civilization that incarcerated the Divine Race should be stronger, and we could ask them to deal with Jialan Civilization."

"Unfortunately, this civilization called the Pan Race has disappeared. No one knows where they went or when they vanished. Even traces of their existence have been largely erased."

"Jialan Civilization wishes to use the power of our Spirit Blue Star and Spiritual Star to destroy the Pan Race’s prison, freeing the Divine Race inside."

"Disciples of the Yi Sect, it’s your time to choose. Whether to stay and fight Jialan Civilization or return to Earth Star to scrape by, the choice is yours."

"Those who choose to stay, sit down. Those who choose to return to Earth Star, fly to the sky, I will immediately arrange your return to Earth Star. Back there, you can continue wandering in the universe. Staying here, the likelihood of dying in battle is very high."

As a result, not a single person flew into the sky; instead, they all sat down.

Clearly, they understood Xu Yi’s long speech.

"Good, you are all brave. In this world, there is no such thing as good triumphing over evil; that’s merely a weak person’s solace. Survival is very harsh. I can plainly tell you, even if you return to Earth Star, there won’t be peace for many years. The only way to peace is through strength."

"Our Yi Sect has entered into a comprehensive cooperation agreement with the Spirit Race; any technology of the Spirit Race can be taught to us as long as we can understand and master it. So aside from the Divine Masters, you must urgently study and grasp the Spirit Race’s technology so we can build advanced battleships with space combat capabilities."

"This is a long-term war, a war of attrition. The purpose of war is to gain more time and opportunity for humans to cultivate. Once we break through to level 35 Divine Masters, we can utterly defeat Jialan Civilization."

"Tomorrow, the Spirit Race will send tens of thousands of people to our base. You must study diligently, seriously. Pretending to understand when you don’t is self-destructive, and I hope no one here does it. If I find out, you will face severe punishment."

"Alright, from now until this time tomorrow is the most relaxed period you’ll have for the next several years or even decades. If you want, you may go back and indulge on Earth Star, but under the premise that you don’t commit any crimes. If you do, the Law Enforcement Department will execute you on the spot."

Xu Yi’s long speech concluded, giving a basic rundown of the situation.

Still, no one wished to leave, because leaving did not guarantee safety.

Staying meant at least having a chance to fight.

Returning to Earth Star meant leaving it all to chance.

Maybe humanity will never encounter danger, perhaps even find a new star to restart Earth Star in hundreds of years.

Xu Yi continued with a high-level meeting of Yi Sect, explaining more detailed situations and the state of the Spirit Race and Jialan Civilization.

Several hours later, the high-level members of Yi Sect went to Newcomer Island, leaving behind a few people while the rest returned to Earth Star.

After all, waging war with Jialan Civilization will entail sacrifices.

Moreover, these sacrifices will be of Mages.

Since Divine Masters require continuous cultivation, they can’t participate in a war to buy time.

Those remaining on Newcomer Island will explain the specifics of the war with Jialan Civilization to let everyone make their own choices.

Subsequently, Xu Yi returned to Earth Star and had numerous meetings with the Human Alliance regarding the conflict with Jialan Civilization.

In the end, the Human Alliance conducted a global broadcast to inform everyone of the situation.

The plan for planetary exile needs to continue.

Because Xu Yi didn’t intend to change the standards and requirements for entering Spirit Blue Star, only those who meet them can enter.

Therefore, a large population will inevitably be left behind.

These people cannot just be ignored, right?

Hence, the planetary exile plan becomes crucial.

Xu Yi also promised to provide some technical support for this.

This technology, naturally from the Spirit Race, could make life on Earth Star better and make planetary exile safer.

Unexpectedly, over 90% of humanity supports going to war with Jialan Civilization.
