40,000 Years of Cultivation

Bai Xinghe looked at Li Yao quietly, and the illusory stars and tribulations kept passing across his face. Under the shadow of the sea of ​​stars, his expression did not know whether he was crying or laughing.

Li Yao was in a mess in his mind.

He had discussed the cause of the Heavenly Tribulation with Xiong Wuji on Tieyuan Star, and he had also heard about the cause of the Heavenly Tribulation by the Bloodmarked Tribe from the mouth of the "Blood Demon" possessed by the Bloodmarked Clan in Yanxibei.

Now, hearing all this from the mouth of the Baixing River, they all corresponded closely to each other!

Is it true that everything is true? The universe is really a dark forest?

Li Yao gritted his teeth and shook his head vigorously.

He instinctively felt that the dark forest theory had loopholes, and there were big loopholes.

But for a while, it was unpredictable and unintelligible.

Perhaps, from the bottom of his heart, he disliked the dark forest theory and disliked such a cruel and unforgiving universe!

Once again, Li Yao remembered the words Huangfu Xiaoya and Xiong Wuji had said.

"Even if the universe is really a dark forest, we cultivators must burn our lives and turn them into a small spark!"

"If there is really no way to go in the dark forest, then set the fire and make a way!"

Only by knowing the truth can you taste the powerful power hidden between the lines!

Li Yao took a deep breath, straightened his chest, looked directly at Bai Xinghe's eyes, and said every word: "I don't like the dark forest theory, I don't like it at all."

Bai Xinghe smiled: "The sea of ​​stars does not exist because of your likes and dislikes, whether you like it or not, the dark forest is here, right around us."

Li Yao coldly said: "We seem to have gone too far. Regardless of whether the dark forest theory is established or not, what does it have to do with the cultivator?"

Bai Xinghe's voice became even more ghostly: "I just said that the dark forest is at your side. Not only are there dark forests between different civilizations, but within the same civilization, you can also transform into a dark forest at any time!" "

"I wonder if you have ever heard of a group of people called'Fire Thieves'?"

Li Yao's heart shuddered.

Of course he has heard it.

Five thousand years ago, the Flying Star Realm suffered a catastrophe, and the flying star people at that time split into two factions.

One faction builds a huge Star Sea Fleet and tries to transfer the entire civilization to the starship and escape from the planet. It is called the "Starry Sky faction".

The other faction concentrates the resources of the entire Great Thousand World on the capital star "Tieyuan Star" and builds a large planetary defense array to resist the catastrophe, which is called the "Homeland School".

Although the Starry Sky School and the Homeland School have different positions, they are all compatriots after all. In the end, they did not completely tear their skin. Through consultation, all the magical powers, exercises, and training equipment of the Flying Star Realm were divided into two and developed separately. .

Unexpectedly, there is a group of militants in the Starry Sky faction who believe that Tieryuan Star is destined to be unable to withstand the catastrophe. These exercises and magical powers are also funerals. It is better to leave them to the Starry Sky faction so that their future development can be smoother. .

These militants, after decades of meticulous planning, went so far as to steal the dragon and turn the phoenix, secretly stealing most of the exercises, magical powers and resources left to the Tieyuan people!

These people believe that what they do is for the sake of the civilization of the Fei Xing human race, so they call themselves "fire thief"!

Bai Xinghe said indifferently: "It seems that you know it, and that's right. Since you are the number one warrior of the Tieryuan six, you can only turn into a'gas refiner' who has prevented the Teoryuan people from cultivating normally. Don't you know?"

"But, have you ever thought about a problem."

"After the fire thief had obtained a large amount of exercises, magical powers, and cultivation equipment, he left Tieyuan Star one step ahead of time and flew to the edge of the Flying Star Realm."

"It stands to reason that the fire thief also owns a lot of spar battleships, and they are all composed of masters in the starry sky faction, and at the edge of the flying star realm, they have not been hit by the catastrophe."

"However, to this day, all the descendants of the Teorwon and the Meteor Fleet, who suffered a positive blow from the tribulation, have survived tenaciously, and have spread their branches and leaves to the various star regions of the Meteor Realm."

"Why, these people who hid on the edge of the flying star realm and escaped a catastrophe disappeared instead?"

Li Yao was taken aback, this question was indeed weird.

The main fleets of the three forces at the time, the Homeland faction and the Starry faction, all suffered devastating blows.

The Fire Thief fleet is hiding on the edge of the flying star realm. Even if it is swept away by the aftermath of the catastrophe, it will not be damaged more than the first two!

After five thousand years, where did they go?

Bai Xinghe sighed: "Let me tell you what happened that year. After listening to it, you will find that the ‘Heaven’s Tribulation’ is far from the scariest thing in this sea of ​​stars!"

Li Yao pricked his ears, and he felt a little drumming in his heart.

Bai Xinghe said: "These militants in the Starry Sky faction were really not despicable, unscrupulous bad guys at the beginning of the implementation of the fire stealing plan."

"On the contrary, many of them are determined, noble, and willing to sacrifice the ego at any time for the continuation of civilization."

"They implemented the'Fire Steal Plan' with the mentality of'I don't go to hell, whoever goes to hell'."

"When they stole a lot of Tieyuan Star's exercises and supernatural powers and fled to the edge of the flying star realm, they continued to send messages to the main force of the Starry Sky Sect, claiming that they would return when the catastrophe passed and the dust settled. The main fleet, accept due sanctions."

"Many people even vowed the blood of the heart demon, once they return, they immediately sever themselves."

"We will bear all the sins. I only hope that the civilization of the Fei Xing human race will be endless and the flame will last forever!"

"This was the slogan of the fire thief at the time!"

"It sounds selfless, heroic, and noble, doesn't it?"

With a weird smile on Bai Xinghe's face, he faintly said, "Next, the catastrophe came, but did not directly pounce on Tieyuan Star, but split into two, and attacked Tieyuan Star and the Meteor Fleet at the same time!"

"In an instant, the infinite calamity swept across the core area of ​​the entire flying star realm. Both the Cheorwon star and the flying star fleet were involved in the vortex of destruction. The entire flying star realm was in chaos and has not been restored for a whole thousand years! "

"The Firesteal Fleet, hiding on the edge of the Flying Star Realm, has observed the infinite catastrophe coming, and perceives that the entire core area of ​​the Flying Star Realm is covered by devastating blows, and the connection between them and the main fleet, Of course it was also cut off, because the entire main fleet is falling apart at this moment, struggling in the stormy sea!"

"After a period of time, perhaps several years of observation and analysis, the Firesteal Fleet confirmed one thing. The main force of the Iron Star and the Meteor Fleet were all destroyed in the catastrophe!"

"After confirming this'fact', in addition to being extremely shocked and extremely sad, they also gave birth to a kind of ecstasy of aftermath!"

"Because they still exist!"

"They also have a large fleet, many masters, and more importantly, countless magical powers, exercises, and training equipment!"

"The fire of Fei Xing civilization has not been completely extinguished. Now, they are the last hope of Fei Xing human civilization!"

"In an instant, the little bit of guilt that had been left over from these fire thieves disappeared!"

"From the results, what they did is completely correct!"

"If they are not so bold and reckless, the entire Fei Xing human civilization will be taken away by the tribulation!"

"Now, they are the last flying stars. They must inherit civilization and rebuild civilization at all costs!"

Li Yao listened intently.

Up to this moment, everything seemed very reasonable, but he faintly smelled a hint of danger.

Bai Xinghe smiled and said, "After the initial ecstasy gradually subsided, these'last flying stars' discovered a very fatal and completely unsolvable problem."

"They lack food and fuel."

Li Yao couldn't help but shouted: "Huh?"

Bai Xinghe said: "It's easy to understand that the fire stealing operation was originally extremely secret. Naturally, they could not have a big fanfare and mobilize a large number of star ships."

"Therefore, the number of spar battleships they control is not many, and they may not all be transport ships suitable for carrying a large amount of cargo."

"Gong methods and supernatural powers don't take up much space, but a large number of cultivation equipment and various magic weapons take up extremely space."

"They don't have enough Universe Rings to store so many magic weapons and training equipment."

"It's difficult to store things like food and water for a long time with Qiankun Ring."

"In order to steal as many magic weapons and training equipment as possible, they had to carry out large-scale modifications to the starships under their control, to expand the warehouse as much as possible, and to reduce the carrying of food and fuel."

"Anyway, according to the plan, they will only stay at the edge of the flying star realm for one or two years, up to three to five years, and after the catastrophe has passed, they will surrender to the main fleet."

"This is what they repeatedly stated when talking to the main fleet. They are not traitors. The resources they carry are not enough to make a journey across the world, so they will definitely go back and surrender, otherwise they will definitely live. Can't go down."

"The main fleet naturally carries enough food and fuel, and there is enough space to create an ecological circulation system in the starry sky and create new food."

"So now, these fire thieves, these'last flying stars', are facing a very embarrassing situation."

"They now have the most powerful magical powers, the most advanced magic weapons, and the most complex training equipment in the Flying Star Realm!"

"However, there is no food and fuel necessary to survive!"

"Without food, people will starve to death, without fuel, starships will be unable to move a single inch, even if stacked with the strongest magic weapon in the universe, it is just an iron coffin floating in the sea of ​​stars!"

"What's more terrible is that they had been drifting on the edge of the flying star realm for several years before confirming that the main fleet was annihilated. Even if the strictest rationing system was implemented from the beginning, there would be not much food left!"
