The Great Flood of the End of Time: Female Neighbor Comes to Borrow Food

Chapter 759 Ancient Immortals and Gods

"The next realm, in my time, was called immortality."

Upon hearing this, Liang Yuan raised an eyebrow: "Immortal?"

"That's right, immortals! Some are called gods, and some are called demons."

“In ancient times, cultivators did not have a deep understanding of supernatural abilities.”

"People believe that those who can ascend to the heavens and descend to the earth, leave this planet and enter the heavens above, are the great immortals."

"We used to fantasize about what lay beyond this planet. Some said there was a heavenly court, a blessed land, and the Purple Cloud Palace there..."

"When someone actually cultivates to that level and leaves this planet, they will find that the outside world is a desolate starry sky, boundless, dark and silent."

"All the fantasies I had before were just bursting bubbles; beyond the planets, there is only space."

"So later, these descriptions of immortals and gods became the names that mortals used to refer to us."

"I think that realm can no longer be called immortal; it should be called a star beast, an existence that can survive in the starry sky."

"After we transform, we often cannot maintain our human form and instead appear in various mutated beast forms, so star beasts are more suitable."

Liang Yuan murmured, "Star Beast Realm?"

He looked at the mutated beasts swimming in the surrounding seawater, shook his head slightly, and said, "We are human, we should not be the same as mutated beasts, there should be a distinction."

"The description 'Star Beast' doesn't sound very appealing. I think it would be better to call it 'Star God'!"

"Star God?"

Ling Yurong chewed on those two words slightly, a glint of light appearing in her eyes.

He said, "Star God, that name sounds better than Star Beast."

Liang Yuan smiled and said, "This name embodies the concept of the starry sky and also continues the naming conventions of your era. I think it's quite good."

"By the way, what's the difference between the Star God Realm and the Gene Recombination Realm?"

Upon hearing this, Ling Yurong replied, "Yes, and there is a significant difference."

"Genetic recombination is merely a change in the physical body, but physical evolution is not enough to take us into space."

"In space, there is all kinds of radiation and terrifying particle storms. Pure carbon-based life forms cannot survive in this environment."

"At the Star God Realm, one needs to absorb the energy of the starry sky, which will completely liberate our genes and allow our cells to fully adapt to the vacuum environment."

"At that time, after our genes are recombined, our physical bodies will grow even larger, becoming interstellar behemoths that can transcend planetary gravity and withstand the harsh environment of space."

"Even when we become powerful enough, things like the heart core and brain core will be born in our bodies, eventually generating a kind of self-gravity similar to that of a planet."

"The existence of this gravitational field allows us to fly freely in space, change direction, and so on, even without kinetic energy."

Liang Yuan also remembered that in space, if there is no kinetic energy, then theoretically any object would be stationary and float in space.

Even if one possesses the ability to survive in space, how would one solve the problem of movement?
Ling Yurong's answer made Liang Yuan suddenly realize the truth.

It turns out that after evolving to the Star God realm, the core within the body will generate a gravitational field.

By using a gravitational field, one can change their own kinetic energy and achieve the purpose of movement.

Liang Yuan suddenly asked curiously, "Did you cultivate to the Star God realm back then?"

Ling Yurong nodded slightly: "Yes, but I had only recently reached the Star God realm at that time. Although I could survive in space, the Great Flood had been raging for many years by the time I lived."

"There are countless star beasts in the starry sky. If you are not careful, you may perish."

"At that time, we all wanted to venture through the starry sky and explore the source of this flood in that galaxy."

"Unfortunately, I am not strong enough to enter and can only watch as my seniors enter one after another."

Liang Yuan immediately asked, "Did they go into that Milky Way galaxy? Did they find anything?"

All the floods we see now originate from that Milky Way. Once we figure out the source of this galaxy, all the problems will naturally be solved.

Ling Yurong shook her head slightly: "Those who went in never came out again."

Some say that the Milky Way is the entrance to the celestial realm. Others say that the Milky Way is the road to the underworld, and even immortals who enter it will suffer excruciating pain and soul-destroying pain.

"Later, the legend of the Yellow Springs spread among the people, but our ancestors still tried their best to enter that galaxy to find out the truth."

"Not a single person came out?" Liang Yuan couldn't help but ask.

Ling Yurong shook her head: "Not a single one."

Liang Yuan frowned deeply: "What kind of existence is this galaxy? How come once you go in, you can never come out again?"

Ling Yurong did not answer; she was unable to answer.

Even she didn't know what was inside.

Her lifelong dream was to go inside and find out what was going on.

This is also the thought of almost everyone who has achieved success in cultivation.

Neither of them spoke, each lost in their own thoughts.

Before long, Yu Bo arrived with Zhang Yujiang.

Upon seeing Liang Yuan, Zhang Yujiang respectfully asked, "Mr. Liang, you were looking for me?"

Liang Yuan turned to look at Zhang Yujiang and asked, "Something's not right with you."

Zhang Yujiang was taken aback, feeling a little flustered, and quickly asked, "Mr. Liang, what did you say?"

"Your attitude towards the people around you is a bit off."

Liang Yuan said calmly, "The Soul Restraint Talisman wouldn't have such a strong effect, causing you to distort your past feelings."

"As far as I know, you dote on your daughter Zhang Wenjing, but judging from your previous behavior, it doesn't seem like it."

"Don't tell me you were influenced by my Soul Binding Talisman. I know best how effective the runes I create are."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yujiang couldn't help but smile wryly: "Mr. Liang, you've misunderstood."

"I'm suddenly being so strict with her because I know my daughter's personality all too well." "If I don't take it seriously, she definitely won't take it seriously and will still provoke you."

"Even if you are magnanimous and don't hold it against her, I can't guarantee that she won't one day cause a huge disaster and do something that is detrimental to Yangshan and you."

"Instead of waiting until that day, I'd rather make her realize now that I am truly loyal to you, and make her give up on that idea completely."

Liang Yuan was immediately surprised; he hadn't expected Zhang Yujiang to be scolding his daughter with such thoughts in mind.

Looking back on Zhang Wenjing's personality, it is indeed as Zhang Yujiang described.

If he tries to persuade his daughter with kind words, it probably won't have much effect.

Liang Yuan smiled and said, "You're quite sensible."

Zhang Yujiang smiled awkwardly, then seemed to remember something and quickly said, "Mr. Liang, I have something else to report to you."

Liang Yuan nodded and said, "Go ahead and speak."

“After I went back, several former leaders of other factions came to me. They seemed dissatisfied with my loyalty to you and wanted to force me to rebel against you.”

Do you think these people still need to be kept around?

"Oh? Aren't all the people on this ark yours?"

"Not entirely. Some of them were generals before the apocalypse. They were forced by hawks to join our Cloud Mist Island."

"However, because they already held military power, and we adhered to the dove's style of doing things at the time, we did not deal with them. These people are now high-ranking personnel here."

Liang Yuan realized that every force has its own factions.

Zhang Yujiang and Feng Jiangong managed the dove faction in the military. After those people defected, they couldn't possibly kill them; they would definitely offer them great benefits and high positions to win them over.

Now these people can't sit still anymore and want to force Zhang Yujiang to deal with them.

Unfortunately, these people had no idea that Zhang Yujiang was already under their control and would never betray them.

Thinking of this, Liang Yuan said directly, "Let's get rid of them all. I don't need these old fogies."

“Once we return to Cloud Mist Island, these people will no longer be allowed to hold any core positions.”

Zhang Yujiang nodded quickly: "I understand, I'll go and handle it now."

"Ah."

Liang Yuan nodded casually.

Yu Bo, who was standing to the side, listened to the conversation between the two the whole time, and felt cold sweat soaking through his clothes.

Fortunately, he surrendered early and didn't have any ulterior motives.

Otherwise, wouldn't they also be eliminated?

Zhang Yujiang quickly took action.

On the ark, faint sounds of commotion could be heard.

Then it sounded like there was a continuous stream of gunfire.

Liang Yuan and Ling Yurong remained standing on the deck, not paying much attention to these matters.

Liang Yuan asked, "How does one break through to the Star God realm?"

Ling Yurong said, "After 100% gene recombination, our physical body will undergo a huge change."

"At this point, the physical body can gradually adapt to the energy in the starry sky."

"At this point, what needs to be done is to guide these energies into the body, and then let the body adapt to these energies, gradually introducing the energy into the heart and brain to build the heart nucleus and brain nucleus."

"This whole process is a slow and gradual one; you can only absorb it slowly and you can't rush it."

Liang Yuan asked curiously, "What exactly is this 'starry sky energy' you're talking about? Is it some kind of supernatural energy?"

Ling Yurong thought for a moment and said, "Yes, but there are differences."

"The supernatural energy in space is violent and chaotic, and ordinary humans or mutated beasts cannot absorb it."

"Once absorbed, it's easy for the chaotic energy to cloud one's judgment, leading to qi deviation and demonic possession."

"Only after the genetic recombination is complete, the body's strength will be greatly enhanced, and the genes will become flexible and adaptable to various crises, allowing the body to directly absorb these violent energies."

"Oh, right, the energy inside the power stone is actually this kind of energy."

"The reason we cannot directly absorb the energy of the superpower stone is because the energy contained in the superpower stone is chaotic and disordered. Direct absorption can easily disturb the mind and eventually lead to mutation."

"But once you reach the Star God realm, you can directly absorb the energy from the power stone."

"In fact, directly absorbing the energy from the superpower stone is less dangerous than directly absorbing the energy from the stars."

"After all, the energy in the superpower stone is a form of energy that has been deposited from the starry sky, so it is relatively stable."

"In our time, these superpower stones weren't called superpower stones, they were called spirit stones."

Liang Yuan's heart stirred, and he suddenly thought of Tian Wei, the leader of the four major forces in Yangshan, who was a superhuman who occupied the mine when he first led his men to Yangshan.

Among Li Yuefeng, Wu Meng, and Tu Long at the time, this person was arguably the strongest.

However, when I went to the mining area to fight this person, I could clearly feel that the other party was obviously not in his right mind.

Because this person was a fire-attribute ability user, Liang Yuan initially thought that the other party was just short-tempered and had been driven mad by the apocalypse.

Looking back now, it's clear that the other party absorbed the energy from the power stone, which accelerated their cultivation progress, and at the same time, the energy from the power stone affected their mind.

"It turns out that the energy in the superpower stone wasn't that it couldn't be absorbed, but rather that Tian Wei's physical strength at the time was simply insufficient to fully adapt to the violent power of the energy inside."

"Long-term absorption of the energy from the superpower stone will inevitably turn you into a madman."

"Only after the genetic recombination is completed, and the genes in the human body are incredibly powerful, can they flexibly handle and digest the negative effects of the residual energy of these supernatural stones, and then they can truly absorb this energy."

Liang Yuan suddenly realized that he had gained more confidence in the future path of evolution.
