70: : Become the inheritor of civilization
"You said I inherited the entire Civilization's Legacy. May I ask, what exactly does that include? After all, the energy of the Divine Kingdom in the Palm has been depleted."
The Guardian Old Man's expression returned to its natural state.
"Then I must explain it thoroughly to the Young Lord."
"At that time, when our Civilization was advancing towards another large galaxy, we accidentally provoked a powerful being."
"That powerful being coveted our Divine Kingdom in the Palm and demanded we hand it over. But as it was the foundation of a Civilization, our Old Ancestor refused to the death. As a result, the entire Civilization was shattered by a single palm strike..."
"Trillions of people perished instantly, leaving behind only some residual genetic information and this battleship."
As the Guardian Old Man recounted this story, a sense of sorrow still lingered on his face.
"Too little time!"
"If we could have properly utilized the Divine Kingdom in the Palm, it would have only been a matter of time before our Old Ancestor achieved Divine-Grade. Alas, our Luck was poor!"
Lin Wu had more or less grasped the situation.
The Divine Kingdom in the Palm was a supreme treasure obtained by chance!
Even the powerful being who shattered a Universe Kingdom with a single palm coveted it.
Even the Old Ancestor of the Original Wu Civilization had not utilized this Divine Kingdom in the Palm to its fullest potential.
"I pretty much understand."
"So, you mean these Demon Mans outside, who are nominally your kin, were actually created by you?"
The Guardian Old Man nodded.
"Strictly speaking, I am a created life form, the Guardian Spirit of this spaceship."
"When there was still abundant energy, this planet had not yet developed a Civilization. I used the intelligent core to modify some indigenous Human Race members."
"I originally wanted to revive the entire Civilization through this, but they gradually spiraled out of control and became so degenerate and foolish, so I could only give up."
It was then that Lin Wu finally understood.
It turned out that all of Blue Star's theories and research were wrong. The origin of Yaoren Star was entirely due to the Old Man before him.
Moreover, the Old Man before him only spoke the truth now, having previously concealed some information.
In a sense, the Old Man who created the Demon Man Civilization was also the Old Ancestor of these Demon Mans.
These Demon Mans were considered the Old Man's kin, yet not his kin... "Then do you consider them your kin?"
The Guardian Old Man fell silent for a moment.
"They are Human Race, and they are close relatives of my kin, but they are definitely not my kin."
"The special abilities on these Demon Mans are allCastrated version (castrated versions)."
At this point,
Lin Wu understood.
Under the Old Man's influence, these Demon Mans were considered close relatives of the Original Wu people. In terms of bloodline, they were at least closer to the Original Wu people than the Blue Star people.
They had, more or less, benefited from the Original Wu Civilization.
"Then tell me what Legacy I can obtain."
If it's about that, I'm not sleepy anymore!
The Guardian Old Man showed a proud smile.
"When the entire Civilization was destroyed, I could only escape with the most valuable treasure of the entire Civilization, which is this Divine Kingdom in the Palm, using powerful means."
"So, no items were brought out."
The Guardian Old Man's meaning was clear: he hadn't had time to bring out valuable items, but the most valuable one had already been brought out.
Lin Wu was instantly speechless.
"Holy crap, then what the hell are you talking about..."
The Old Man immediately retorted.
"You misunderstood, Young Lord. Although I didn't bring out any treasures, I at least brought out a bunch of very powerful Cultivation Techniques. The lowest Rank is Heaven Rank, which is enough for you to Cultivate!"
"Every Heaven Rank Cultivation Technique here is incredibly powerful, much stronger than those on your home planet."
Lin Wu did not refute this point.
Humanity in this Universe can only be considered an infant learning to walk, just barely stumbling along. If they encounter a stronger Civilization, they could very likely fall into crisis directly.
"That's more like it..."
"Can you give me a few Cultivation Techniques now, ones that are very suitable for me?"
Lin Wu wasn't interested in other matters.
But he was very interested in getting benefits.
"There are many, but our Old Ancestor said that at first, you shouldn't be given too many Cultivation Techniques. Only when your strength meets the standard can you be given the corresponding Cultivation Techniques."
Lin Wu nodded.
He had no objection to this.
"Then first, get me a Cultivation Technique to look at."
The Guardian Old Man said no more upon hearing this and directly took out a Cultivation Technique.
"This is the least difficult Cultivation Technique we brought out. Its Rank is Intermediate Heaven Rank. Would you like to take a look first?"
Lin Wu took the Cultivation Technique.
【Name: Super Giant Transformation】
【Rank: Intermediate Heaven Rank】
【Description: The prerequisite for Cultivating is to possess the Gigantification ability. This Cultivation Technique allows the Cultivator to increase their strength, speed, etc., tenfold under the premise of Gigantification. The duration will increase to varying degrees depending on the Realm.】
He opened the Cultivation Technique and flipped through it briefly.
In less than a few seconds,
Lin Wu had only one thought.
Difficult, it's too damn difficult!
It was simply not something a human could understand.
"I originally thought my learning talent was strong enough, but I didn't expect even the table of contents to be hard to understand."
"This Cultivation Technique can only be slowly digested; it's completely different from other Cultivation Techniques."
Lin Wu wasn't completely unable to understand it.
It was just that he couldn't understand it at a glance, as he had before.
To learn this Cultivation Technique, without a doubt, even just getting started would take at least a month.
Lin Wu put the Cultivation Technique into his System space and turned to the Guardian Old Man, asking,
"You just said that the lowest Rank is Heaven Rank. Does your Civilization have anything stronger than Heaven Rank?"
"That is natural, of course, it's normal for the Young Lord not to know these things, because your Civilization's Rank is too low, having just become a Universe Race."
"Above Heaven Rank is called Saint Rank."
"So that's how it is."
The two exchanged a few more words.
"Young Lord, you have more or less understood the basic situation. Now, you only need to perform Soul Binding to become the owner of this battleship. Shall we begin now?"
The Guardian Old Man could be said to be impatient.
"Once you become the owner of the battleship, I can tell you more secrets."
The Guardian Old Man communicated with his mind, and then a large glowing orb lit up.
"You only need to perform Soul Binding, and the entire battleship can be condensed into a thimble. You can wear it on your hand and retrieve or store the entire battleship at any time!"
The large glowing orb was entirely red, matching the main color scheme of the Original Wu Civilization.
Lin Wu released his Mental Energy to complete the communication with it, and then a blood-red thimble appeared on his hand.
This thimble could be activated with just a thought.
It was a Storage Ring of very high Rank.
However, compared to the System backpack, it was still far inferior.
After the Fusion was complete, the Guardian Old Man's attitude changed again.
"Young Lord, you can now call me Wu Ling. This is the original name given to me by the Old Ancestor."
"I mentioned some secrets earlier. Now that you have officially contracted, I can tell you..."
"Actually, I brought out a Super Weapon."
"You will obtain it as soon as you Breakthrough to True Qi."
