Chapter 144 The Power of Civilization

Hearing the star creature's words, not only Li Tianran, but even Han Han laughed.

"Really, two clowns." Han Han raised her head and said softly, "You lot actually dare to point fingers at me?"

"Kill them!" Li Tianran put on a layer of Teng Snake Armor. He strode towards them, taking out the Dragon Tooth Warblade.

Han Han was also wearing specially made armor, but she carried no weapons. Her fighting style dictated that she didn't need them. Her brain was the sharpest blade!

Seeing Han Han and Li Tianran showing no fear, but instead walking towards them, the two star creatures' eyes turned gloomy.

Buzz!

Li Tianran instantly unleashed his gravity domain, enveloping the two creatures within it, intentionally manipulating the gravity to put pressure on their hearts and brains.

After the battle between the star creatures and the Star Apostles, Li Tianran determined that the life level of these creatures was likely at the peak of the second evolution, not yet reaching the third. At this level, the three of them couldn't pose an extinction-level threat to Blue Star!

However, according to their previous words, they belonged to an extremely large star army. They were just pioneers. If that army were to land on Blue Star, that would be a true disaster.

A civilization reaching level 1.95 was definitely enough to crush Blue Star to dust.

"Crack!"

Han Han moved first. Countless intelligent brainwaves appeared around her, and these waves were so powerful that they had become physical entities. At this moment, she looked like a god standing in a sea of lightning. Her black hair danced wildly, and in an instant, countless lightning-formed cages surrounded the opponents.

"Gravity, ten thousand times!" Li Tianran charged towards them with his blade in hand. Behind him, ten thousand second-evolution pioneers, fully equipped, wielding steel knives like a steel torrent, swept towards the two star creatures.

Li Tianran was not a martial artist, nor did he have a habit of dueling enemies. His favorite saying was, if you can gang up, don't fight one-on-one!

"You dare to resist advanced civilizations..." The two star creatures roared. They swung the spears in their hands, wanting to break out of the lightning cage, but the moment their bodies touched the lightning, terrifying explosions rang out. Their arms that touched the lightning cage were blasted off, and the armor on their bodies was torn to pieces.

"This creature has almost reached the level of a special-grade warrior!" The star creature looked at Han Han and roared in shock, "How is this possible? In such a low-level planet, a creature has been born who is almost about to complete her third transformation?"

Evolution, unlocking the gene lock, transformation...

Li Tianran narrowed his eyes. Although the names were different, it was actually the same path. It seemed that the life levels in various civilizations in the starry sky were defined by the same standards.

However, Han Han was about to complete her third evolution?

Li Tianran glanced at Han Han. She was indeed a little too powerful. Perhaps the will of Blue Star didn't choose all the apostles last time, but her...

It was just that, for some unknown reason, she ultimately failed to meet the requirements of the will of Blue Star.

"Crush them!" Li Tianran roared, stabbing the Dragon Tooth Warblade in his hand into the chest of a star creature. The lightning cages consciously opened up a gap for the steel blade to pass through when Li Tianran's steel knife pierced through.

This kind of precise control of abilities was definitely at the peak of Blue Star.

Immediately afterward, more and more steel knives pierced into the bodies of the two star creatures. They were almost completely chopped into pieces. In the end, the two star creatures only had two heads left. Li Tianran came to them, used a steel knife to pick up a head, and asked softly, "I ask, you answer. If you cooperate, I will consider letting you die quickly. If you don't cooperate, I guarantee you will live in endless torment in the future!"

Although the two star creatures only had heads left, their eyes still burst with dazzling ferocity: "You dare to kill the pioneer warriors of the great Zeno Legion, your entire planet, no, your entire galaxy will wait to be destroyed!"

"..." Seeing the other party's strong lack of cooperation, Li Tianran also lost the patience to continue questioning them. Han Han dispersed the intelligent brainwaves and forcibly broke into the other party's brain to read their memories.

After the memory reading was completed, Han Han directly shattered their brains. The two unconscious heads fell to the ground and were chopped into pieces by the pioneers next to them.

"What did you see?" Li Tianran saw that Han Han's face was a little ugly, and his heart slowly sank.

Han Han raised her head, pointed to the corpses of the star creatures on the ground, and said after a moment of silence, "Do you know how many soldiers of this strength are in their civilization?"

Li Tianran was silent for a moment, and made a bold guess: "Three thousand? Five thousand?"

"One hundred thousand." Han Han opened her mouth and uttered an extremely shocking number.

After hearing these words, everyone, including Li Tianran, fell silent.

One hundred thousand apostle-level enemies?

Just imagining that scene was enough to make one's heart tremble!

"In their civilization, there are also third-stage evolvers!" Han Han threw another bombshell: "And the number exceeds three hundred!"

Third-stage evolvers...

Three hundred creatures stronger than Han Han...

Li Tianran guessed that the civilization blocking Blue Star might be very strong, but he didn't expect it to be so strong.

"And they really have weapons like planet-destroying cannons. For planets like Blue Star, if it weren't for plundering resources, they wouldn't need to send soldiers to land at all. Just a few planet-destroying cannons would be enough to completely destroy it." Han Han continued to recount the memories she had read from the star creature's brain.

Li Tianran took a deep breath.

Facing such a powerful enemy, how should Blue Star respond?

"Actually, we don't need to worry too much... Their base camp is very far away from here, and these three soldiers traveled to the vicinity of Blue Star through a wormhole. Most of them cannot arrive in a short time." Han Han said, "The fleet that blocked Blue Star's technological level at the beginning has already traveled thousands of light-years away!"

"The only thing we need to worry about is that wormhole..."

"I read from its memory that it has transmitted the coordinates back to the base camp. If the other party senses that its soldiers are dead, they may send some soldiers to risk crossing the wormhole and arrive at Blue Star!"

Through normal means, the enemy would definitely not be able to reach Blue Star in a short time. The only possibility was to cross the wormhole.

Li Tianran knew the specific location of the wormhole through his conversation with the will of Blue Star, but he didn't know how to block it or make it disappear completely.

After a long silence, Li Tianran took a deep breath and said, "I'm going to find the materials to upgrade the level 5 shelter. Only with a successful upgrade can we be more confident... Otherwise, we can only continue to worry."

Han Han thought for a while and said, "I can go with you."

"No, you stay. I'll go out alone. The materials to upgrade the level 5 shelter are not an object, but something invisible and intangible. It doesn't matter how many people there are." After Li Tianran finished speaking, he turned and left the battlefield.

…

The three star creatures did not cause any major losses to Blue Star, but the information read from their memories put enormous pressure on the entire Blue Star.

If the deaths of the three star creatures were really sensed by their race, and a fleet risked crossing the wormhole, then Blue Star and even the surrounding planets would face destruction.

Li Tianran walked on a battlefield.

His brain was running fast. He had traveled all over Blue Star, but he couldn't find the so-called spark of civilization.

At the thought of the terrifying enemies in the starry sky, the heavy pressure made him breathless.

"The spark of civilization, where is it? A spirit, a will, an idea..." Li Tianran kept repeating what the will of Blue Star had told him, and his footsteps suddenly stopped.

Unknowingly, he had come to the defensive giant city where Zhang Shoucheng had sacrificed himself. At this time, a large number of statues of soldiers were sculpted outside the giant city. They were all heroic souls who had died in battle to defend this place.

"A spirit, a will, an idea..." Li Tianran looked at these statues and suddenly felt like he had grasped something.

When ancient civilization had just recovered, under the suffocating gap, these human soldiers still fearlessly and dauntlessly held on to their positions until the last moment. At that time, what supported them?

Was it loyalty? Was it anger at protecting their homes from invasion? Or was it the courage to sacrifice their lives?

Perhaps it was all of them!

The human race was full of inferior roots, but when disaster struck, it could burst out with the most glorious and dazzling light.

For the continuation of this race, pioneers sacrificed their lives, paving a path to survival for their compatriots!

And the successors were also infected by the pioneers, following in their footsteps, generation after generation, choosing to do the same thing.

This was a kind of inheritance, a kind of spiritual transmission from generation to generation!

It was like a torchbearer, one person running until exhausted and falling down, and the people behind taking the torch in his hand and continuing to run forward!

"I understand! I finally understand!" Li Tianran suddenly laughed, and he clenched his fists: "Everyone is a spark. In human civilization, everyone who has inherited the will of their predecessors is a spark!"
