Chapter 734: The Feast of the Tree of Life
"Forget it. Even if I ask you how you know, you probably won't tell me." The turbulent emotions in the Fallen Titan's heart quickly calmed down.
It made no sense for him to think about these questions now.
He looked at Li Yu, with complex emotions in his eyes, and he felt goosebumps all over when he saw Li Yu.
"You want the fragments of the Annihilation Device?"
Although it was an obvious question, the Fallen Titan asked it anyway.
"That's right. Although it's not certain, maybe one day, I will confront the creator civilization. It's better to be prepared." Li Yu said frankly.
From the macro perspective of the entire universe, there is basically no distinction between villains and heroes, just different standpoints and perspectives.
Li Yu does not think that the creator civilization that defeated the Titan civilization is an unforgivable villain, but that does not prevent him from preparing for a rainy day.
"Creator Civilization? Is that your name?" The Fallen Titan paused, then said, "It doesn't matter. It's just a code name."
"Promise me that you will restore the glory of Titan civilization when , and I will cooperate with your research."
The Fallen Titan suddenly said solemnly. At this moment, he suddenly understood those Titan warriors who were fighting one after another on the front battlefield.
In the past, he was not a person who was not afraid of death, nor was he too racist.
Otherwise, he wouldn't try every possible way to keep himself alive.
However, when he appeared in this era and looked around the universe, he found that there was no one of his kind, and he suddenly had a sense of mission.
No one forced him, and no one said anything, but he felt that he should do it.
Li Yu stared at him and suddenly wanted to laugh, but felt that laughing was not polite. His face was quite strange, and he said: "Don't tell me that you are committed to restoring the glory of Titan civilization?"
"Is it ridiculous?" The Fallen Titan glanced at him, seeming to be indifferent to everything.
"No matter how good or bad you have been, no matter how timid or cowardly you have been, when you find yourself the last of your race, you will naturally have courage and responsibility."
Li Yu could understand this feeling. Not to mention a racial civilization, even if it was a branch of a human race, similar people would emerge after suffering a catastrophic disaster.
This did not prevent him from feeling both amused and sad.
"After fighting for a long time, you finally told me that you are a racial renaissance activist. I even feel morally guilty..." Li Yu chuckled and shook his head.
"I'm not trying to brag about myself. I'm not a brave or great man. In that era, I was just a small figure." The Fallen Titan leaned against the cage.
If the person in front of him was not a Titan, he would not bother to say more. Everything in the past should be buried in the past.
"Let's not discuss philosophical questions like this. Let's discuss something more realistic."
Li Yu shook his head. Every intelligent creature is complex, and the choices it makes when facing the external environment are unpredictable.
"I can make a promise right now that I am willing to revive the Titan race, but you also understand that it is difficult to tell whether such words are true or false." Li Yu said in a flat tone:
"Although I have many shortcomings, I still value my promises. Cheating on you would cause me some moral pressure. When I think about it occasionally, I still feel uncomfortable."
"So, I cannot promise you to revive the Titan race."
The Fallen Titan was stunned for a moment, and then laughed, but Li Yu could feel a hint of sadness fluctuating from deep in his heart.
"Interesting, very interesting..." After a long while, the Fallen Titan calmed down: "Of course I know that it is difficult to tell whether such a promise is true or false. I just want to give myself some psychological comfort ."
"At least I can tell myself that I am not doing nothing even though I am still alive. At least I have found someone who can restore the glory of Titan."
"I didn't expect you would be too lazy to even deceive me."
The Fallen Titan experienced too many surprises today. Li Yu did not respond and just looked at him indifferently.
"The fragments of annihilation are attached to the genes of the creator race. You can use the so-called gene chain technology to achieve this." The Fallen Titan said it directly.
"However, I have also studied your evolutionary path. As an interstellar human, you are no longer able to fuse additional gene chains. You can only find other people."
Li Yu's expression flickered slightly. Due to the influence of the [Code of Life], when the Pangu gene chain in his body was developed to the extreme, he could also carry an additional gene chain.
Originally, he didn't have any good choices in mind, but now he can write down the creator in his little notebook.
The Device of Annihilation was originally created by the Creator Civilization, so it is normal to have some kind of authority verification.
"This means that without a suitable carrier, you can only survive for the time being." Li Yu looked at the Fallen Titan.
The Fallen Titan said frankly: "You can understand it this way. I don't know what will happen to the fragments of the Annihilation Device after my death."
Li Yu was temporarily unable to tell whether what this guy said was true or false.
Although this guy is seriously injured, he is still a threat. The Device of Annihilation is strange and unpredictable, so there is no guarantee that he cannot use it.
However, as long as the Fallen Titan is in his hands and he uses special methods to put it into a deep sleep, it won't be a problem.
After thinking for a moment, he came up with a plan in his mind.
[Infinity Gauntlet] emerges, the power of time and space emerges, and the Tree of Life behind it sways.
The Fallen Titan seemed to have sensed something, and without any resistance, he slowly closed his eyes.
Then, an invisible crystal appeared on his body surface, completely solidifying it.
This is a special crystal formed by Li Yu using the time and space gems. Time is stagnant in it, and the Fallen Titan's thinking naturally cannot function.
Sealing the Fallen Titan would make the Tree of Life visibly shorter, even if the other party did not resist.
However, Li Yu doesn't care now, because the next step is for the Tree of Life to digest the ancient waterway.
This is a sumptuous feast, and the little bit of life substance consumed now is harmless.
Afterwards, golden threads penetrated deep into the void, and the Tree of Life started to move completely. This time, there was no dark space to cause trouble.
The ancient waterway covers many civilizations, and it would take a long time for the Tree of Life to devour them all.
Li Yu was not in a hurry and just waited here slowly.
Soon, a month passed.
…
Somewhere in the Ancient Channel, a large number of transformed warships surrounded several scavenger fleets.
One of them was the scavenger fleet that Ron was in. Li Yu obtained a mechanical heart from one of them named Ek and gained permission to open the transport box.
Most of the others were temporarily trapped here by him, including the scavenger fleet that was intercepted before.
At the beginning, this group of people were intimidated by the majesty of Dragon Lord and did not dare to say much. They just stayed here obediently.
But as time passed, and they didn't know how Long Zun would deal with their fear, they began to have some little ideas.
Li Yu did not detain this group of people on a large scale and strictly.
According to the order , the Transformers were only imprisoned under house arrest.
Because this group of people did not directly offend him, and given the special environment of the ancient waterway, as long as this group of people was not allowed to escape, nothing bad would happen.
Therefore, everyone still maintained their previous daily life, except that their communications and weapon equipment were confiscated, and they had nothing to do every day, wandering around the spaceship.
As long as they don't violate the rules, there will be no punishment. The Transformers will act strictly according to Li Yu's orders.
A seemingly lazy scavenger walked on the metal corridor, avoiding the patrolling mechanical life forms and flashed into a room.
Quite a few people have gathered here, their faces flickering and their expressions vary.
"Everyone is here, let's get started..." One of the interstellar humans looked around and said:
"After this period of investigation, we have figured out the patrol schedules of this group of mechanical life forms. They have a total of 56 patrol patterns."
“Taking advantage of some patrol breaks, we were able to obtain some of the confiscated contraband.”
This small organization was originally just a group of frightened people who huddled together for warmth, but now it is showing a trend of escaping.
"Ek, you still want to escape." One of them frowned and said, "We can't fight against those Transfiguration Legions. We can't escape even if we try our best."
"Then are we just going to wait here to die?" Eck asked.
"Long Zun may not necessarily kill us. His only purpose is to find you and take away your mechanical heart." Someone added.
The scar was revealed, which made Ek's eyes noticeably gloomy.
"So, you also know the news. I don't know what he wants my mechanical heart for, nor do I know what secrets are hidden in it." Ike said coldly.
"But do you think he'd let the news fly across the stars?"
This question made everyone's expression change slightly. It's not that they haven't thought about this question but they are unwilling to think about it deeply.
Standing in front of them was a high mountain called Longzun.
They don't have the courage to fight back.
"We don't need to confront each other head-on. You should have heard that Long Zun and Xingyao Empire are not on good terms."
The existence of the black hole network allows these little people at the bottom of society to see some secret information.
Ike added: "The Star Empire is secretly searching for his whereabouts. As long as we can escape and even reveal this news to the Star Empire, we might be able to gain wealth and glory."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's breathing quickened.
"But the problem facing us is still the same and we can't escape it!" Someone poured a basin of cold water on him.
"We don't have to escape. As long as we can send these coordinates to the Star Empire, it will be fine." Ek shook his head.
Another person shook his head: "It's easy to say, this is an ancient waterway, even short-distance communications will be disrupted, not to mention sending the coordinates to the Star Empire."
"That was before..." Ek smiled mysteriously, "Haven't you noticed recently that the disasters that often occurred around here have disappeared inexplicably, and the interstellar environment has become increasingly stable."
"What do you mean?" Someone was confused.
"I'm afraid something has happened to the Ancient Waterway. It's no longer in a situation where we can't communicate."
This was his own guess, but it was well-founded and was the conclusion he came to after observing for a long time.
"What? You mean the Ancient Waterway is going to return to normal?" The others couldn't help but be surprised, and then suddenly realized: "I said that when I looked out of the porthole recently, I always felt as if I had left the Ancient Waterway."
They had been worried the whole day before, but now when they thought about it carefully, they found that it was indeed as Ek said.
"The signal shielding device used by the Transformers is Alpha-III. If I have enough materials, I can create a communication gap, but it will take a very short time and require a scapegoat." said an old man with glasses.
"It's a small matter. Anyone under my command can be sacrificed at will." Another sturdy man grinned.
Ek's eyes flickered, showing a hint of fierceness, but it quickly disappeared.
After everyone discussed the plan, they went their separate ways. These guys were experienced people who had lived on the edge of a knife.
A few days later, a flash of fire exploded on a scavenger spaceship, attracting the attention of the prisoners.
Everyone leaned on the porthole, looking at the flames of the explosion, and couldn't help but feel a little surprised.
"What's going on? Is anyone trying to escape?"
"How dare they do that. How could they escape with the Transfiguration Legion's combat power?"
“…”
Everyone was talking about it, watching a scarred guy emerge from the mechanical life form and be killed directly in the starry sky. His body was burned on the spot without leaving any trace.
Ron was among them. Although he was also a prisoner, his status was obviously higher than the others.
Almost no one dared to approach. He looked at the flames of the explosion and frowned slightly.
How could there be such an unwise person who would wait until now to escape? He keenly felt that something was wrong.
Suddenly, he turned his head sharply, and at the corner of the metal corridor, a vicious look looked at him, but disappeared in an instant.
"Ek..." Ron looked solemn. Dragon Lord had spared this guy's life at that time, and he knew that the other party must be resentful.
He has been very vigilant during this period, and he doesn't know whether today's incident has anything to do with the other party.
But he is now a prisoner, and without evidence, his denunciation of the Transfiguration Legion will not be believed.
