Chapter 1296: Chapter 206: The Star God Is Dead (12,000 Words, Major Chapter!)
Speaking slowly, Ian observed the subtle expression of the golden soul—it wanted to laugh, yet also sigh, proving that he had made significant mistakes, but there were so things he got right.
So, he continued, “But in the end, the worst-case scenario happened.”
“The Star God Spaceship, which ca to welco us Terra People, crashed.”
“And that crash was not an accident but a strike—Terra suffered the Calamity of Heavenly Fall because of the fall of the Star God Spaceship. The civilization of the previous era was destroyed, and the Star Gods left for various reasons, leaving our civilization in ruins, with only the remaining Sparks from before.”
“Even the Star Prison Tianyu appeared…we are sealed within this do, ignorant of the outside world, with no understanding of the truth.”
“Therefore,” Ian said calmly, “we must go outside the Star Prison Tianyu—we must see the true state of the universe today. We must find the Star Gods and know the source and reason for all of this.”
“That is my goal. Unlike you, who only wants to create Sparks and escape, I act for noble exploration.”
This was an attack to shake the enemy’s will, also a test. Ian noticed that the Echoes’ thinking was very linear and extre, perhaps because pure soul bodies would only rush along a predetermined path and could only choose another path through self-examination.
Whether the Echoes refuted or sneered at his incorrect speculations, Ian could gain more intelligence.
[Madman!]
However, the Echo’s reaction was more intense than Ian imagined. After hearing the boy’s speculations, its anger beca extrely fierce in an instant: [You madman, are you truly too stupid to realize, or are you deliberately saying such disgusting words to anger ?]
[What Star Gods leaving, what noble exploration, you clearly sensed it too, didn’t you?!]
[The Star Gods are already dead!]
—The Star Gods are dead.
Although he had guessed this possibility, Ian still couldn’t help but feel a chill for this news.
Though he sensed the ssage from the Great Ether Stream when he beca a ‘Pioneer,’ that ssage was rely a pre-set program, essentially no different from the Voidrealm Machine God left by Humans in the Domain of Void, both being leftover automated programs.
Ian himself also thought that perhaps the reason he didn’t receive the Rites of the Star Gods was that it might be a limited first release reward for the first Pioneer of a civilization? It’s not surprising, isn’t it? Otherwise, with one Pioneer every age, wouldn’t the Rites of the Star Gods flood?
But, if it’s a civilization like the Star Gods…so what if it floods?
And now, this contradictory feeling was utterly resolved.
Because the Star Gods are dead.
An image appeared in Ian’s mind—a dark hole on the spaceship shrouded in rainbow light…that dark hole swallowed the radiance of the Star Gods, causing everything to spiral out of control.
If such a scene appeared in every corner of the universe…
[Do you think the Calamity of Heavenly Fall happened because of what? It was precisely because the civilization of the Star Gods encountered an enemy attack—otherwise, do you think with the technological level of the Star Gods, an accident would have occurred?]
At this mont, the Echo’s voice, laced with fury, still resounded. It gritted its teeth, not because of the confrontation with Ian, but because of the ‘naïve hope’ revealed in Ian’s words. As an Echo that believed it had tried every ans and knew all truths, it absolutely would not allow anyone to battle it with such a mistaken mindset.
So, it reprimanded without hesitation: [The Ten Battles of Heaven, the Star Gods won only three tis, and this last ti was a crushing defeat. Terra has already beco dood to destruction, you don’t understand any of this, so what right do you have to stop !]
“If it’s dood to destruction.” Ian suppressed his emotions and quickly questioned, “then why are so many people living so peacefully on Terra? I don’t believe only you know this; surely all major forces know at least part of the truth about Heavenfall!”
[Foolish!] The Echo sneered coldly: [Ordinary people can only see tomorrow, visionaries can see ten years ahead, and even sages and prophets with foresight can set century-spanning undertakings for the species, but that’s their limit]
[When destruction is to occur over a hundred years later, Humans won’t worry over it. They’ll just squander the scarce remaining resources and hope, leaving the future suffering to the wisdom of future generations!]
[And what we must do is ensure the eternal continuation of Humans—even if it’s just a speck of dust drifting in the endless darkness between stars!]
[You ask why Humans on Terra can live so peacefully? It’s rely because they are ignorant and unenlightened, fearless due to ignorance, while those powerful beings either abandon themselves or live like ordinary people, convinced they won’t be alive when destruction cos, thus fearless…and those who wish to do sothing eventually go mad, falling into an incomprehensible madness!]
In that instant, the boy thought of Inega II.
Perhaps…it’s because he knew too much, leading to extre choices, feared by surrounding ministers, even his own queen and crown prince, thus sparking a rebellion?
