Listening to the Hurricane Apostle's introduction to the Great Destruction, Li Tianran felt waves of shock in his heart.

A disaster that only targets a specific race, without affecting other races!

It was like some pre-set program!

This kind of power could no longer be described as a simple "natural disaster"!

"It's bizarre, isn't it?" The Hurricane Apostle looked at Li Tianran, spread his hands, and asked, "It's like... our world is a false interface created by some higher-dimensional being, operating according to the will of that higher-dimensional being. This ability to [solidify] and [virtualize] disasters, and to accurately identify every civilization and every creature, far exceeds our understanding!"

Li Tianran's heart was pounding wildly.

Just as the Hurricane Apostle said, if the Great Destruction really came in this form, then the scientific exploration and understanding of this world would be completely subverted!

Disaster virtualization!

This could definitely not be explained by science.

It had surpassed the scope of science and reached a "magical" realm!

No...

This was just him looking at the Great Destruction with his limited understanding.

Perhaps this ability could be achieved through technological means in the face of a higher-dimensional civilization?

Like some kind of space technology?

In an instant, Li Tianran felt his brain was in chaos. He looked at the vast sky through the observation window of the Kunlun Giant Ship. Above this sky, were there eyes he couldn't detect, constantly watching this world?

Did those eyes see the war between himself and the ancient civilization apostles as humans see two colonies of ants fighting for food?

"Feeling desperate?" The Hurricane Apostle suddenly smiled strangely, "When we first realized this, we were also extremely desperate."

"We work hard to develop technology and improve ourselves, but perhaps in the eyes of some higher-dimensional beings, it is so ridiculous..."

The Hurricane Apostle sighed.

Even the extremely powerful Second Evolution creatures, the apostles, had to humbly hide underground under the terrifying Great Destruction, seeking survival in this way.

"I don't know if there are higher-dimensional beings in this world, and I don't know if we are ants raised by them. Even if we are, I will be a winged flying ant, flying out of this world to see the truth of that higher-dimensional being." Li Tianran's voice was soft, but it revealed an extremely firm belief.

The Hurricane Apostle smiled when he heard this, "Commendable courage!"

"But after you have truly experienced a Great Destruction, you will understand how terrifying that power is."

"The existence that can control such a disaster, even if you reach level 1 civilization, I am afraid you will not be able to touch the hem of their clothes..."

Listening to the Hurricane Apostle's words, Li Tianran thought of many things.

"My system..." Li Tianran was silent. Like the Great Destruction, the existence of his system also violated the rules of the world.

Then, was there any connection between the two?

Where did this system come from?

And was it randomly distributed when it landed on him, or was it controlled by some higher-dimensional being, selectively becoming his cheat?

If it was the former, it would be fine.

If it was the latter...

That would be very terrifying!

"Higher-dimensional beings are too far away for me now..." Li Tianran threw all the messy thoughts out of his mind, "The most important problem now is to solve the threat of the ancient civilization!"

Li Tianran regained his composure.

Although the Great Destruction was terrifying, judging from the fate of the apostles, it was not extinction-level; it would not destroy human civilization.

But the threat of the apostle civilization was devastating.

Once the other party seized the opportunity, the war would continue until the last member of human civilization was killed!

"How far is it from the hiding place of the core crystals?" Li Tianran looked at the Hurricane Apostle and asked softly.

...

On a small island 8,000 kilometers away from Hurricane Island, the Hurricane Apostle took the remaining core crystals out of a cave.

After counting, Li Tianran found that the number of these crystals differed from those taken from Base 550 by only a dozen or so.

But that was enough!

The Gonggong Battleship was smaller than the Babel Tower, and its main function was for warfare, so its planetary engine power, even if it was smaller, was enough to support normal operation.

"With these crystals, the Gonggong Battleship's planetary engine will be sufficient." Li Tianran smiled.

Just as he was about to issue a return order to the Kunlun Giant Ship, the Hurricane Apostle came over again and said, "I know a place where the ancient civilization stored supplies. It contains a large amount of special alloys and minerals, which may be useful to you!"

"A place to store supplies?" Li Tianran was stunned when he heard this, "Aren't your supplies stored in miracle buildings?"

"No, in fact, after the death of the first Earth Apostle and the persecution of the Homo sapiens, we changed the habit of storing all supplies in miracle buildings, because no one can guarantee that the increasingly terrifying Great Destruction would not destroy the miracle buildings as well."

"We extracted a portion of the supplies and placed them in a very hidden place, just in case the race suffered a heavy blow and resources were scarce, so we could have an emergency reserve!"

After listening to the Hurricane Apostle's words, Li Tianran asked, "Then why didn't you choose to take the reserved supplies after your miracle building was destroyed, but instead ran to the human defense line to plunder?"

"The reserved supplies at the time were placed together by the five major races, and only with the simultaneous consent of all five major races could the reserved supplies be used... and at that time, the other three apostles did not allow me to take them!" The Hurricane Apostle shrugged his shoulders, "But now... we don't need to get their permission!"
