Capítulo 1250: Chapter 9: Invasion
In the Stone Hall, Elder Rooney watched the people’s debate, knowing it would end this way. Most of the elders from the tribes opposed the idea, as the tribe had survived on Pandora Star for countless years, and abandoning it seemed rebellious.
As for choosing to follow Gaia or the Heavenly God Race, from a perspective of interest, it seemed the Heavenly God Race was the better choice.
However, Elder Rooney was actually more inclined towards Gaia and his group.
Whether it was the arrival of the Empire’s Emperor or Gaia, both had left a deep impression on him, even Ye Qingdie made him see things in a new light.
You observe the small to understand the broader picture; many things become apparent from minor details. Gaia and his group showed more respect towards the tribespeople.
Elder Rooney entertained the idea of moving the tribe out for the sake of its continuation. From this perspective, he trusted Gaia and his group more.
As for the Heavenly God Race, they purely intended to exploit them, which made Rooney skeptical about integrating with them.
“Let today’s discussion end here. It’s just a thought of mine, and the specifics can be discussed slowly in the future,” Rooney said, concluding the session.
The matter concerned the life and death of the tribe’s future, and Rooney didn’t dare to take it lightly. He needed to be extremely cautious and planned to discuss this with Gaia.
In fact, until now, Gaia had never brought up this matter. As for whether Gaia had thought about it, Rooney couldn’t confirm, though he could see Gaia was extremely intelligent.
The next day.
Rooney and Gaia sat quietly on the stone seats of the tribe’s plaza, watching the children play in the distance, where Ye Qingdie also was.
Every time he saw such a scene, Elder Rooney couldn’t help but smile.
“This is probably their happiest time,” Rooney said softly.
“Yes, carefree,” Gaia responded.
“Sometimes I wonder, is it right or wrong for the tribe to stay here? Though the gods granted us power, they can’t stop death. Generations grow and perish here. I’ve lived for several centuries, witnessing the deaths of my father, uncle, and later my son, along with many young people of the tribe, on this land.”
Rooney seemed to be muttering to himself, “I’ve wondered if it’s our destiny, waiting for someone, for a ‘Universe’ to appear. Yet, ‘Universe’ has never appeared over the years. It’s unclear if the gods think none in the tribe are worthy or if there’s another reason.”
Gaia knew that the ‘Universe’ Rooney referred to was likely equivalent to a Destroyer-level figure, someone in the tribe commanding immensely powerful cosmic energy, with presumably extraordinary strength.
“Perhaps, I won’t live to see it,” sighed Elder Rooney. “Mr. Gaia, do you think it’s possible to build a civilized world?”
“I don’t know,” Gaia shook his head.
“Why does Mr. Gaia still try?” Elder Rooney asked.
“The universe is at a turning point, eventually leading to two outcomes: being unified by a power, or continuing to collapse and fall back into chaos. And the former scenario, even if unified by one of the current great powers in the universe, won’t lead to a better universe. Eventually, the universe will still collapse, civilization will retract. Given this, we want to try to change this outcome — the worst result can’t get worse,” Gaia said.
“Can the tribe protect itself?” Elder Rooney asked.
“Does Elder wish to hear the truth?” Gaia asked.
“Mr. Gaia need not conceal anything,” Elder Rooney replied.
“The tribe will perish,” Gaia looked at Rooney and said, “It’s a matter of time.”
Elder Rooney fell silent.
“Mr. Gaia, how should the tribe save itself?” Elder Rooney inquired.
“Leave,” Gaia said. “Though the Holy Land grants you power, Pandora Star is not suitable for human survival.”
“Have you thought about inviting the tribespeople to leave?” Rooney asked bluntly.
Gaia looked at Elder Rooney and nodded. “If you’re asking whether I’ve thought about it, yes… but I understand what this place means to the tribe, so I don’t bring it up. But since Elder Rooney asked me, I can only express my thoughts. Of course, how to view this matter depends on Elder Rooney yourself.”
“Yes, the significance of this place to the tribe, even if I have the idea of leaving, it’s not easy,” Elder Rooney sighed. “If the tribe is willing to leave with Mr. Gaia, can you ensure its continuity?”
“If by continuity Elder means bringing the tribespeople to a safer place, I can take them to a relatively safer location, but when the nest is overturned, no egg remains unbroken. If one day we become the defeated side, no place will be safe,” Gaia said. “So, I can’t guarantee anything to Elder.”
“Understood,” Elder Rooney nodded, gazing far into the distance with deep eyes, watching the children playing, his eyes again revealing a kind smile.
……
As time passed, the tribe’s warriors gradually emerged from the Holy Land, concluding a period of cultivation.
Training in the tribe’s Holy Land was actually a form of retreat. The duration depended on individual cultivation conditions.
The tribe’s warriors often have the opportunity to go inside, so once they finish their seclusion, they don’t intentionally stay in there, and consequently, they come out one after another.
Xu Mo, Zero, and the seven from the Heavenly God Race have not come out yet, presumably wanting to cultivate for a longer period.
In the Holy Land, this cosmic world.
In different locations stand various figures, the seven from the Heavenly God Race stand in seven distinct positions, their bodies seemingly becoming larger, like true ‘Heavenly Gods’, towering in the universe, perceiving and absorbing the energy of this cosmos.
At this moment, Taman opened his eyes, a brilliant divine light emanated from his pupils, like an energy light shooting out.
Taman stretched out his palm and grasped, immediately sensing a stronger power, much more powerful than two years ago.
His gaze moved to the others, only to see that the few from the Heavenly God Race were still cultivating.
He then looked towards Xu Mo’s direction, where his huge eyes revealed a hint of peculiarity.
Xu Mo’s body was completely floating in this cosmos, lying horizontally, the exceedingly brilliant cosmic energy flowed through him, as if he had merged with the universe, his body glowing with light.
He seemed to be in a state of complete relaxation, letting go of himself.
At this moment, Xu Mo was in a state of complete relaxation, he even forgot about time and his location.
At this moment, he felt as if he were the universe itself, with the energy flowing in the cosmos just being his thoughts.
Xu Mo’s world of Telekinesis was expanding, and the Gosi Civilization centered on spiritual power, where everything in the world was born from people’s thoughts. Mystic God believed that one’s spiritual power could transform into a universe.
Time passed by little by little, and the cosmic world Xu Mo perceived seemed to grow larger, he was completely immersed in it, forgetting time, or rather, to him, time and space were stationary at this moment.
…
As time went by, the cultivators from the Heavenly God Race also emerged from the Holy Land one after another.
At that moment, outside the tribe, several people were sitting on a huge rock.
“Have you heard? Elder Rooney recently proposed the idea of leaving again, it seems the elder truly wants to go.” A young person spoke.
“Yes, but the elders are all opposed to it. Do you agree with Elder Rooney’s idea?”
“Actually, I’d like to go out and see.” The speaking young man said: “But my family doesn’t agree.”
“What is the outside world like.”
“Who do you want to follow, the Heavenly Gods, or Mr. Gaia and them?”
“Of course Mr. Gaia and them, Sister Ye treats the people of the tribe as family.”
“En, I agree, but the elders think even if we go out, they’re more inclined towards the Heavenly Gods. Now, someone from the Heavenly God Race came out of the Holy Land; they seem to be talking to Elder Rooney about this.”
“I hope Elder Rooney sticks to his idea.” A young man lay down with his hands on his head, and the moment he lay down, his gaze landed on the scene in the sky, his pupils suddenly contracted, revealing a horrified expression.
“Nidhogg.” He murmured under his breath, only to see several terrifying giant beasts in the sky diving down at high speed.
“Nidhogg…” He screamed and jumped up, and the others also rose up in shock, looking up into the sky with expressions of horror.
Nidhogg, had actually come to kill in the tribe.
“Run.” They turned and rushed toward the tribe, these young people had not yet become powerful warriors.
In the sky, several extremely dazzling energy light columns illuminated the space, directly descending, terrifying energy light columns instantly engulfed this area, several young people instantly died within them, energy light columns swept wildly, creating terrifying cracks on the ground.
Outside the tribe, a warrior stood there watching the scene with eyes almost bursting, shouting loudly: “Nidhogg invasion.”
“Boom boom boom…” The tribal buildings collapsed and shattered madly, screams echoed from within the tribe, the destructive light columns directly swept through the tribe, and in the giant eyes of Nidhogg in the sky, there was an ice-cold, ruthless intent, and they possessed human-like intelligence.
Silhouettes in the tribe soared into the sky, all of them warriors of the tribe, powerful cosmic energy erupted instantly, forming a massive energy wall in the sky, Nidhogg’s light columns struck it and were blocked, but as the energy continued to spew forth, the energy wall collapsed, destructive forces swept through the tribe.
“Protect the children.” Elder Rooney rushed out, shouting loudly, these beasts dared to come and kill in the tribe.
Gaia rushed out along with Elder Rooney, his eyes suddenly emitted powerful energy light, strong Telekinesis enveloped the tribe, with a thought, a light column fell, and below, the child’s body flew away, avoiding the strike.
Under Gaia’s control, the children running chaotically in the tribe all flew towards him rapidly.
