Chapter 456: Merging Of Two Worlds

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

The large, net-like defensive spell was a trap laid out by the Sages that enveloped the entire earth.

There were a total of 360 grids set out in the formation.

Excluding the oceans and the sparsely populated areas of the North and South Poles, there were about a hundred grids covering the landmasses.

The Protoss clans and the masters sent by the sects could proceed with clean up, grid by grid.

They would destroy all members of the political parties by exterminating everyone involved or related to said parties.

If it took three days to “clean” each grid, then it would take about a year to complete the task.

As for the effects of this extermination, it was very likely that the total population of the Protoss would be reduced by 1% to 5%, depending on how thorough the cleaning process was.

At least hundreds of millions of Protoss would die!

But…

They were just insignificant beings in the eyes of Sages, who easily and decisively sentenced them to their fate.

Even though they were from the same race.

“Why?”

In the villa, Chen Junfeng had a stunned and puzzled expression, “Why are the Sages of the Protoss doing this? Why would they be so ruthless?”

He found it difficult to understand. Great responsibility came with great power. The Protoss Sages had always attached the greatest importance to their people. Back in the Heavenly Realm, four Sages had laid out their defensive spell formations, placing themselves as the backbone of the formations to deal with the crisis of the primordial chaos. They hung on and resisted the chaos for thousands of years.

It was a glorious and noble image that left a deep impression.

But suddenly, the Sages were making a move.

Moreover, it was a move against the Protoss that they used to protect and care for. Their words were cold as if they were handing out a death sentence.

How did things turn out like this?

Chen Junfeng was in a state of confusion.

Chen Jin was also silent for a short period of time.

After thinking about it, he said indifferently, “I think it might due to resources, specifically resources for cultivation.”

“I ran this through a supercomputer. Assuming that the amount of natural spiritual energy is expressed in standard units, then an ordinary practitioner who is cultivating his Qi would probably need one unit of the spirit energy; a practitioner from the Condensate phase or Order 10 units, and a practitioner from the Jiedan Order or phase, 100 units…As for those of the Shenguang Order who could create and arrange such a huge spell? They would have to use a terrifying amount of power. Based on that, a Sage must consume at least 10 billion units of spiritual energy.”

“While they are draining the natural spiritual energy, they must also consume a huge amount of medicinal herbs, magic weapons, and minerals. The amount of energy needed is hard to measure.”

“This universe is very big, and the Heavenly Realm is not smaller than our world in any way. But ultimately, the total amount of natural spiritual energy is still limited.”

“Resources are limited, but practitioners are emerging in an endless stream. Just like the growth of the human population, as long as the environment stabilizes, the competition will be reduced. There is no doubt that the Protoss population is about to usher in a period of explosive growth.”

“Once the population has reached a certain level, available resources would slowly become scarcer.”

“And the emergence of those political groups means something; something that anyone, who is even a little intelligent, will know. The emergence of the parties means that social stratus will become more fluid, the labor force will be liberated, and the low-cost distribution of resources for cultivation.”

“And after the release of the ‘Dream Fantasy: Eighth Generation’ virtual reality headgear, due to its ultra-high degree of realism and the popularity of a PK game, “War of Glory,” any Protoss with a beef against each other, could solve their issues inside a fighting ring within the game. They don’t have to fight to the death in reality.”

“With the emergence of a good alternative product and its in-game competitions and arenas where the player can show off their true strength The mortality rate of the Protoss has dropped dramatically.”

“The aristocrats of the Protoss will be subject to various laws and restrictions. The new governance system will also enable all aspects of their society to become more civilized and developed.”

“As for the lower class Protoss, their bellies are full and they have nice clothes to wear. They could even easily get their hands on the more advanced cultivation methods and exercises.”

“The number of practitioners has experienced explosive growth, an increase that was probably more than twice their original number.”

“This may be what the higher classes do not wish to see. Due to personal interests, even the Sages cannot accept how the more advanced and civilized system is taking away some of their resources.”

“Our people have also gathered legends about the Protoss. It seems that there were typically only four saints in the history of the Protoss, which spans millions of years. The largest number of Sages at any point in time was also four. Occasionally, one or two will fall and there will be some fluctuations. ”

“But the upper limit seems to be only four!”

“This explains that resources for cultivation may support only up to four Sages. If there were more practitioners at the lower levels, it would be difficult to maintain sufficient resources for even four.”

“So for the sake of their interests, they can only destroy the elements that are now bringing their society into the future. They have to kill members of those political parties and try their best to restore the previous order. Certain advances cannot be allowed to emerge.”

They would rather keep the status quo!

Chen Junfeng couldn’t help but clench his fists. So, it was like that. The Sages, who were the so-called savior of the people were just selfish men.

Suddenly, his expression changed again!

“Grandpa, after the success of our “Sage Plan,” in the past year, we have nurtured thousands of “geniuses.” They are cultivating at nearly 10 times the efficiency of ordinary people. The speed of their progress is unbelievably good.”

“However, if this is discovered by the senior administration of the Protoss, or by their Sages, will they immediately kill all the ‘geniuses’ in our hands for the sake of saving resources? After all, those geniuses are horrifying. Sooner or later, it will be found that they aren’t normal. This secret could even be exposed.”

“And with the character of their senior administration, the domineering ways and ruthlessness of the Sages… The geniuses that we’ve nurtured will surely be slaughtered!”

They would never be accepted by the Protoss.

Chen Junfeng looked at Chen Jin with an anxious expression. The mass production of geniuses; this kind of behavior, once exposed….. it might provoke frantic killings or lead to them being besieged by the Protoss.

The Chen family could not even hope to be a match for the Sages. Faced with the Sages, the Chen family was weak like a worm or a fly.

So… what should they do?

Should they avoid risks and pull back in time?

He put forward his views and concerns. He had developed the idea of ​​retreating.

“There’s no need for that, the “Sage Plan” has to continue.”

Chen Jin shook his head, “The Sages, are indeed terrifying. They could even destroy the earth just by lifting a finger. But…there is no need to retreat.”

“The Sages are not a big deal. There are even records of them being damaged or lost. That is even greater proof that they are not invincible. There’s no need to be too afraid of them. As long as the geniuses we nurture are sufficiently strong and they slowly reach or exceed the level of the Sages in their cultivation…You have to give certain things a try in this universe.”

“Grandpa, please speak cautiously!”

Chen Junfeng’s expression changed significantly. He walked forwards and said, “Our entire planet is now under the control of the Sages. They can perceive any malicious thoughts or ideas generated by all living things within the quarantine circle. You must stop talking. If they hear what we say, our family will be finished!”

“Ok.”

Chen Jin shook his head and secretly said to himself, “The Sages, I wonder if the anti-matter bomb with a yield of 10 billion tons could kill a Sage, thus achieving the feat of slaughtering all the Sages?”

However, with the power of the Sages and their variety of mysterious yet formidable tactics, the possibility that such an attack would be successful was destined to be low.

Ah ~ low-key.

Even if the Chen family seemed to have a lot of aces up their sleeves and lots of money and resources, they still had to appear modest and low-key in front of the Sages.

…

For the next few months.

All of Earth was enveloped in an atmosphere that reeked of blood caused by the frenzied killings.

Under the fierce and ruthless attacks by the powerful practitioners, large numbers of political party members were brutally killed, none were taken as captives, and even those who surrendered were killed.

Even their souls were drawn out after their deaths to be pulverized…To be blunt, it meant that both body and soul were destroyed without exception; there was no mercy.

The horrifying slaughter caused all Protoss from the lower class to tremble in fear. The spark of hope that used to reside in their eyes was gradually extinguished. They had to accept the original system that they had lived in. To survive, they had to abandon everything they had. They stopped having their extravagant expectations of freedom and dignity.

But…

The most sensational event these days was not the defensive spell formation or the killings arranged by the Sages.

The Heavenly Realm was about to come to an end.

Just like a star whose life had come to an end. There would come a day when its light would be extinguished.

The crisis of the primordial chaos in the Heavenly Realm had become so serious that it had already transformed 99% of the land into the formless mass before creation, killing countless civilizations and races in the process.

It had turned the region that was originally full of vitality into an endlessly turbid air of primal chaos.

For now, no one knew anything about the source or cause of the primordial chaos crisis. Investigations produced no results.

They could only come to the simplest conclusion — The Heavenly Realm was about to come to an end.

It was useless even if there were Sages who were giving their all to hold up the Realm.

There was a Sage who suddenly left his post and came to earth to intervene in the internal affairs of the Protoss. He completely supported the position of the family clans and sects. He was extremely icy towards the various parties who represented the lower classes.

There used to be four Sages on duty and now there were three.

When there were four, the primordial chaos, in form of a gas could not wear down and enter the Realm, but with only three Sages, it immediately broke through a corner of the Realm and engulfed the world and all the living things in it at a fairly quickly, like a substance that transformed everything into sand.

If a Protoss was exposed to an excess of this gas, it would be akin to incineration. In the absence of much pain, the Protoss would be turned into ash and be scattered in all directions.

The specifics of the process were a bit like how Thanos snapped his fingers, and turned half of the universe into ash, making life disappear in an instant.

Currently, this was the situation of the Heavenly Realm, and it was even more serious. After all, the gas of the primordial chaos would melt everything.

Now that one of the Sages had come to the earth, the other three could not stop the onslaught of the primordial chaos. They could only delay the inevitable for a little longer. They were striving to move the entire Protoss population, all their supplies and treasures to the solar system in this last final stretch of time.

The other three Sages would probably be the last to leave.

So…the most rigorous challenge had arrived again.

An intelligence officer privately reported to Chen Jin the latest situation that he had gotten wind of.

“There should be less than 5 billion Protoss who are still living in the Heavenly Realm…Most of them have been evacuated.”

“The senior administration of the Protoss hoped that the Earth Federation would assist by renting out a group of passenger ships, which would be remodeled. They strive to complete the final evacuation within five years, so that the entire Protoss population, a huge group of more than 20 billion, will coexist with us in the solar system.”

“The four Sages will also stay in the solar system. Several large palaces would have to be built, and we would have to provide some superior services to help the four Sages settle down.”

“Besides, the most important thing is this: As the Heavenly Realm is being thoroughly transformed into part of the primordial chaos, at this particular time when the Realm is about to disappear, many of the Sages who had arrived in our universe suddenly came up with an idea.”

“That is, they want to combine our universe and the Heavenly Realm by completely merging them to become one new universe.”

Wait~

Hearing this, Chen Jin felt very puzzled, “Merge, how? The Heavenly Realm is about to disappear completely, only the gas of the primordial chaos is left. Are we supposed to merge with the primordial chaos? If that happens, wouldn’t our universe be transformed into part of the chaos too? Who came up with this idea? There must have a problem with their brains?”

“There’s no problem with this.”

“The primordial particles found in the gas of the primordial chaos has been dispelled to our universe a very long time ago. The concentration of these particles is not low. There is a higher concentration of the primordial particles than celestial particles.”

“But after intensive research, the scientists discovered that the primordial particles, which have the characteristics of being highly active with a strong melting effect in the Heavenly Realm suddenly become blunt and passive when it was dispelled to Earth. This is perhaps due to the differences in the laws of our universe compared to the laws of the Heavenly Realm’s universe. The primordial particle cannot melt any substances here, and it does not participate in any chemical reaction, its existence is like an inert gas.”

“It could be said after arriving in our universe, the gas of the primordial chaos has completely lost its combat power.”

“Also, by colliding particles at a relatively high energy level, scientists have observed that the primordial particle split into a variety of celestial particles. These celestial particles have absorbed a lot of energy during the collision process. The result is that scientists have gotten a variety of particles with active natures.”

“From this, they saw the hope of walking out from the crisis of the primordial chaos towards a brilliant era of cultivation.”

“So the Sages intend to open the time-space portal, link up the two worlds, and use various methods to release the gas of the primordial chaos into our universe.”

“The concentration of the gas of the primordial chaos is very high. If the primordial chaos was transferred to our universe in its entirety, it is estimated its concentration will far exceed that of the celestial particles (including the particles of the natural spirit energy). It would become the most common celestial element.”

The two universes must be integrated into one from then on.

Regarding this matter, anyone with a discerning eye could see that there would be nothing beneficial for the natives of Earth.

The natives of Earth would even have come up with more resources and living space to satisfy the appetites of the remaining five billion Protoss.

And with the explosive increase in the concentration of the celestial particles in the later period, it is the Protoss who would benefit from the merging of the two worlds. It is also the Protoss who would see a rapid increase in their level of cultivation. The humans would have to be good servants to those arrogant, lazy bums.

In addition, the Sages would be coming over. They were people who were so powerful that they could make the planet explode with a pinch of their fingers. Humans would not even dare to talk bad about them behind their backs, much less provoke them.

Moreover, with the arrival of the Sages, who represented the ultimate force, the days of mankind would probably worsen. Humans would all the more have to suffer in silence and swallow their anger.

Even Chen Jin had silently decided to keep a low profile, and he could no longer put himself in the limelight.

However, Chen Jin suddenly thought of something, and he said, “Can the gas of the primordial chaos be used for cultivation?”

“Probably not.”

The expert who had been researching celestial particles for a long time said, “The primordial particle has a very lazy nature and can hardly sustain the energy dispensed by our mental power. It is difficult to guide and control. And the requirements for the fission of the primordial particles are very high. Even if it could be split into a variety of active celestial particles, the energy that is consumed in the process far exceeds what is harvested.”

“The only interesting characteristic of the primordial particle is that it is very easy to collect. It has four masses, which is equivalent to the helium element. It can be compressed, and as long as the pressure is great enough, the particle can be compressed to a hundredth, a thousandth, and even a ten-thousandth of its original mass. The ratio of compression could even be higher where it would finally be compressed into a solid object, such as a diamond.”

Primordial particles in the solid state.

Didn’t that mean that it could be conveniently carried on one’s person and easily transferred in large quantities?

If he got his hands on some compressed primordial particles, brought them to Haierfa and got Nuwa to do some research on it, would she acquire some unexpected results?

As he thought of this, Chen Jin developed a very strong interest in the primordial particle.
