Chapter 68: Arrogant Ascension-Seekers
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
After the “End of Reincarnation” absorbed the consciousness of an entire native civilization, the “Distorted Consciousness” that was formed began searching for the next victim in the circular world galaxy.
However, before it could drift far, it was stopped by Li Wenyuan’s fleet and received by a series of attacks.
The rainbow bridge formed by beams of various colors streaked across the barren interstellar space, triggering multiple explosions on the body of the “Distorted Consciousness”. The psionic storm that had just formed was torn apart by the greater energy, revealing the true form of the “Distorted Consciousness”. It was a huge transparent ring.
Psionic power was still a type of energy. Although it was very mysterious, it could be affected.
Of course, Li Wenyuan would not let the being that blew up the circular world run around. The moment it left the void realm and came to this universe, it was already doomed.
As everyone knew, when an item’s health bar lit up, it was no longer invincible.
Although the “Distorted Consciousness” could turn itself into a state of illusion and avoid the fleet’s shots, it was suppressed by enough firepower and shattered into a purple firework before it could even launch an attack.
…..
The transparent ring was just like the destroyed circular world. Cracks appeared first, then the cracks became bigger and bigger, and then the entire ring collapsed.
However, unlike a normal explosion, the “Distorted Consciousness” collapsed inward when it was destroyed. The broken psionic storm that surrounded it was also gathered in the process, and it finally disappeared from the universe along with the ring.
It looked more like he had been banished back to the void realm rather than having been truly destroyed.
However, Li Wenyuan also realized that things in the void realm could not come to the real universe under normal circumstances. Moreover, they could be hurt or even expelled in the real universe.
However, just as he was thinking of a way to deal a huge blow to the void realm, the heaven-chosen native who he had taken in previously said with a trembling voice, “All of you… destroyed the ‘Distorted Consciousness’? This…” As someone blessed with psionic energy, he could naturally sense the tremendous psionic energy in the body of the “Distorted Consciousness”.
Be it material or non-material things, his entire civilization was concentrated in the “Distorted Consciousness”.
Even a chosen one like him could only sigh at his lack of strength in the face of such a void realm materialization and quietly wait for death.
However, he did not expect such a powerful “Distorted Consciousness” to be destroyed so easily and without having time for resistance.
He didn’t know what those floating black spaceships were, but he could feel their destructive power.
“This is science, little native. Even though you look like an idealist, you still have to learn to understand the laws of the universe.” Li Wenyuan’s voice echoed in the research spaceship. Then, the spaceship that carried the rescued psionic natives was transported back to the first circular world.
There were gentle “Assimilation Fighters” there. Presumably, they could give those homeless psionic natives a good education.
More engineering vessels flew to the destroyed circular world and began emergency repairs.
This circular world seemed to have a chance of being saved. Li Wenyuan did not want to watch this ring become floating space trash.
“To be honest, when 1 was dealing with humans, 1 felt that they were quite ‘awesome.’ Perhaps there are no other species in the universe that can cause more accidents than them.” Gray Wind surrounded Li Wenyuan’s research spaceship and finally sat on the spaceship’s outer shell.
Li Wenyuan agreed with what she said. “You’re right. I have to admit that humans have always been very talented in this aspect.”
Judging from the babies that were taken in by humans, one could observe that the natives of the third circular world were all ridiculous.
The natives in the first circular world developed a bad habit of eating people, and the natives in the second circular world studied fungi and lost themselves.
The natives of the third circular world were even more powerful. They directly blew up the circular world. He did not dare to imagine what the natives of the fourth circular world were up to.
“Hurry up and go to the fourth circular world to take a look. Don’t go late and let them have the chance to blow up this galaxy…”
After a quick flight, Li Wenyuan and Gray Wind arrived at the control center of the fourth circular world.
Li Wenyuan had already ordered the fleet to be on standby, ready to carry out carpet bombing on the surface of this circular world at any time.
After all, after experiencing the third circular world, he was really afraid that the magical natives would do something shocking again.
However, what was unexpected was that the fourth circular world was very quiet, or rather, it was dead silent.
Compared to the control center in the previous three circular worlds, which had various problems, the control center here was completely destroyed, but there were obvious signs of an explosion.
The surface of this entire circular world seemed to have experienced several violent explosions that removed all traces of the surface.
Although the explosions were probably very powerful, they could not cause any fluctuations in the connection structure of the huge circular world.
The control center was also destroyed in the explosion. However, compared to the situation in the previous three circular worlds, Li Wenyuan was strangely relieved. “Although it’s unexpected, this result is still acceptable. Is this also a civilization that destroyed itself?”
There were no signs of life on the surface of the deathly silent circular world. Perhaps the natives here had once created a brilliant civilization, but they did not survive.
There was no doubt about the livability of the circular world. The “natural disasters ” that would occasionally occur on ordinary planets did not exist in the circular world.
Generally speaking, as long as there were no accidents, it was only a matter of time before the natives of the world expanded into the interstellar era.
However, from the looks of it, none of the natives of the four circular worlds had chosen to do so. Instead, the world had fallen into stagnation and even destruction due to various factors.
However, Li Wenyuan was still very interested in what had happened in the fourth circular world. Therefore, he arranged for a portion of the engineering vessels to build a control center there, and at the same time, he began to use a large number of research ships to scan the surface of the circular world.
Hard work paid off. He really found something left behind by the native civilization deep underground in the ruins of a huge building.
It was a big, tattered ball about the size of half a football field. Through the gap, one could see the precise mechanical structure inside.
To Li Wenyuan’s surprise, the database actually reacted to the ball.
“Primitive Level 4 singular point core.”
“Introduction: this seems to be a novel Level 4 singular point construction plan. Perhaps it was built by the native civilizations here in pursuit of progress. According to the residual mechanical structure, it should be able to generate 50% of the power of a Level 4 singular point under extreme working conditions. It has no value for research or restoration, but it is suitable for collection as a cultural relic.”
“The natives created a Level 4 singular point? Although it is not that advanced, it is still stronger than that of many interstellar civilizations… Where did such a native civilization go?”
The Level 4 singular point on Earth was still producing almost endless energy. If the natives here could create a Level 4 singular point, they would have achieved energy freedom.
Judging from the surface of the fourth circular world, it was possible that the explosion of the primitive Level 4 singular point had led to the disappearance of their entire civilization.
Besides the primitive Level 4 singular point core, a damaged recording device gave Li Wenyuan the answer.
“We seem to have reached our limit, but this is not enough. We want to be the civilization that developed this place. We’ve already seen the other three circular worlds. They’re all mediocre guys, so there’s no need to worry about them, but… Perhaps, we can achieve our goal through a collective leap. We need energy. This singular point energy source is massive enough. We believe that the time has come. Even if such an action will destroy the entire world, all great works need sacrifices to be forged. We will use this power to ascend to a higher world, and the losers will become our stepping stones.”
The recording suggested the extreme actions of a native civilization after being trapped in the circular world.
Their technological level was probably the highest. At the very least, they had confirmed the situation of the other three circular worlds. This was something that the previous native civilizations had never done.
Li Wenyuan agreed with their pursuit of progress, but he did not approve of the methods they used.
Li Wenyuan didn’t know how they used the Level 4 singular point, but he knew the explosion occurred in the process.
The explosion destroyed everything on the surface. As for whether the native civilization had completed its ascension with the help of the primitive Level 4 singular point, Li Wenyuan felt that it was most likely not the case.
If ascension was so simple, then all the civilizations in the Milky Way would have done so by now.
Even if such a method existed, the energy required was definitely not something that a few Level 4 singular points could provide.
“They can’t even blow up the circular world, yet they wanted to enter a higher world?” Li Wenyuan shook his head and created a file for the native civilization in the database: Arrogant Ascension-Seekers..
