Chapter 165 The Truth

Following the words of the Blue Star consciousness, Li Tianran felt his mental power detach from his physical body, lifted into the high sky by a magical force, getting further and further away from Blue Star. Finally, he left the solar system and floated in the boundless starry sky.

He saw fragmented boulders drifting in the starry sky, the remains of planets destroyed by more advanced civilizations.

He saw the wreckage of warships and the corpses of strange creatures.

He saw a desert-like planet, covered with fossils of giant creatures. This was a planet whose planetary consciousness had died due to its failure to break through a certain level of civilization. Its resources were exhausted, and it had ultimately become a desolate wasteland.

His mental power wandered in the starry sky for a long time, and he saw too many planetary remnants that had once given birth to civilizations, but were now destroyed. From the ruins on the planet's surface, it could be seen that their peak periods were all more advanced than Blue Star's civilization...

In the boundless universe, even civilizations above Level 1 were at risk of being destroyed at any time, let alone a planet that had not even reached Level 1 civilization.

He didn't know how long had passed, but the Blue Star consciousness suddenly seemed to sense something. It instantly dragged Li Tianran's mental power back into his body. The speed was so fast that Li Tianran felt a soul-tearing pain!

"A civilization has discovered us!" The voice of the Blue Star consciousness became very tense: "I don't know if it has located our coordinates, but it has definitely discovered us!"

Li Tianran gasped for breath. The journey through the starry sky had left him with unforgettable memories, and when he heard that a higher civilization might have discovered their coordinates, he immediately became vigilant: "Is it the civilization that originally sealed our technological level?"

"I don't know... it was a very weak mental reaction, possibly just a creature, very far away from us." The Blue Star consciousness said, "But even so, its threat level is very high!"

"Because once it confirms our coordinates, it may release them into the universe, allowing more hunters to hunt us down, thereby achieving the goal of reducing a competitor."

Li Tianran's mood became heavy as he listened to the Blue Star's will.

He looked up at the starry sky. Every night, these stars looked beautiful and brilliant, but beneath the beautiful exterior lay a cold and cruel war.

Whether it was the races on Blue Star or higher-level star civilizations, competition was the primary factor.

Resources and war were eternal themes!

"One last question..." Li Tianran took a deep breath and said, "Why choose me? What makes you think that I can lead Blue Star's civilization to break through Level 1?"

"I don't know what advantages I have over the apostles..."

Li Tianran was definitely not lying.

In terms of life level, he was no match for any of the apostles; in terms of technology, he could only be considered barely on par with them; in terms of potential...

How could potential be seen?

"The difference between you and the apostles is that you are more ruthless and brave than them." The Blue Star consciousness said, "The apostles also had an era of vigor and daring. They dared to fight and take risks, but since becoming kings and enjoying power, they have become timid, afraid to fight, afraid to take risks to break through their limits."

"But you are different... Even with power, you still dare to risk your life."

"Just like after the Great Destruction descended this time, you still dared to lead the team to kill the Star and Ocean Apostles. You have proven that you possess extraordinary courage!"

"Although the Star Apostle also dared to risk its life to fight, it was because of its character's madness and irritability; but you are able to make the choice to risk your life after careful consideration and in a state of absolute calm..."

"So, you are more suitable than them!"

Li Tianran's expression finally relaxed when he heard this.

He had used his life to set up situations many times in order to win, risking his life to do something.

In the eyes of many rulers, this was a very stupid thing.

But in the eyes of the Blue Star's will, this was a very excellent performance.

In order to resist the invasion of higher-level civilizations and to break through the limitations of Level 1 civilization, what Blue Star needed was a leader like Li Tianran who dared to take risks, because ordinary methods could not defeat the enemy at all!

"I see." Li Tianran nodded. He said, "I understand. Is there anything else you want to tell me?"

"I saw a space wormhole in the starry sky, and its location is not far from Blue Star. The starship of the civilization that sealed Blue Star came through that wormhole... If you really break through Level 1 civilization in the future, I hope you can remember its coordinates and be vigilant about it at all times!" The Blue Star consciousness said again, telling Li Tianran the coordinates of the space wormhole.

To be able to freely travel through wormholes, one must reach at least Level 3 civilization.

Li Tianran smiled wryly. Even if he broke through Level 1 civilization in the future, he would still have no chance of winning against a fleet of this level.

"The other party should not have mastered this technology stably when they traveled through the wormhole. Instead, they were accidentally sucked into the wormhole and came near Blue Star. Otherwise, with the fleet level of a Level 3 civilization, they would only need to wave their hands, and Blue Star would be annihilated in the universe."

"The enemy's civilization level exceeds Level 1, but it definitely does not reach Level 3! It may not even reach Level 2!"

Li Tianran breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.

At least the enemy was not ridiculously strong.

"I will use my last strength to protect Blue Star... Twenty-two days, you only have twenty-two days!" The voice of the Blue Star consciousness became smaller and smaller, and everything that had been still around them now melted away like thawing ice.

Boom boom boom!

A violent explosion sounded again, and the figure of the Star Apostle was submerged in a sea of fire.

"Cease fire." Li Tianran suddenly raised his hand and ordered all firepower to stop.

Although they felt very strange about Li Tianran's request, everyone stopped the final bombardment of the Star Apostle.

"I'm going to talk to the Star Apostle." Li Tianran said expressionlessly.

On the life energy detector, the life energy reaction of the Star Apostle had dropped to freezing point. It only needed a light blow to completely erase it from this world.

But at this time, Li Tianran suddenly ordered a ceasefire, which made everyone feel extremely puzzled.

Li Tianran closed his eyes.

After witnessing the truth of the starry sky, his thoughts had changed a lot. After talking with the Blue Star consciousness, Li Tianran felt that the negative impact from the Great Destruction had completely disappeared, and the entire human civilization would return to its peak in a short period of time.

And the Star Apostle, who had lost the miracle architecture, could no longer pose any threat to Li Tianran.

Li Tianran left the Sky Castle. He landed in front of the Star Apostle in the ruins. The other party only had a charred skeleton left. Li Tianran sat next to it, quietly waiting for its body to slowly recover.

About half an hour later, the Star Apostle stood up again, dragging its mostly restored body. It looked up at Li Tianran and showed a ferocious smile on its face: "You... do you want to fight me? Do you think I have lost everything, so you want to humiliate me before killing me?"

"I'm not that bored." Li Tianran looked directly into the Star Apostle's eyes and said in a deep voice, "It's kind of ridiculous to say, but the war between us doesn't really make much sense..."

"..." The Star Apostle frowned.

"Do you want to know the truth of everything?" Li Tianran asked, "Including the gods you once saw!"

The Star Apostle's eyes suddenly became extremely dazzling.

If there was anyone in this world who could make it feel in awe, it was only the god who had once appeared before them!

"You know about Him?" The Star Apostle asked anxiously.

"I just saw Him and got some information from Him." Li Tianran continued, "Now, I want to tell it to all the creatures on Blue Star!"

The Star Apostle's eyes flickered.

"That's not a god, that's... the Blue Star Will!" Li Tianran said, telling the Star Apostle everything he had just seen and learned, and then, he said expressionlessly, "Although I really want to kill you right now, you are, after all, one of the strongest creatures on Blue Star..."

"I'm giving you a chance now. Instead of dying meaninglessly in my hands, you might as well live for a while longer. If enemies from the starry sky civilization descend, you will go and fight them!"

"I'm giving you the last dignity of being an apostle, go and die in battle!"

Listening to Li Tianran's words, the expression on the Star Apostle's face was very complicated. Its expression was like crying and laughing. After a long time, it suddenly raised its head and asked, "Are you pitying me?"

"..." Li Tianran frowned.

"I always thought I was the strongest creature on Blue Star, that I could control my own destiny, but it wasn't until now that I realized that you and I are just ants in the starry sky!" The Star Apostle asked with a sneer, "What if I don't agree?"

"Then I will tear you to pieces and scatter your ashes." Li Tianran said expressionlessly.

"Hahaha, what a chance to give me... Li Tianran, don't say such high-sounding words anymore. You just want me to test the waters for you, to be your cannon fodder! You don't have the confidence or the experience to deal with star civilizations, so you just want me to be your suicide squad!" The Star Apostle laughed.

Li Tianran's face showed no guilt at being seen through. That was indeed his plan.

When facing enemies with unknown strength, of course, it was best to send someone to test the other party's strength, and the person sent to be cannon fodder should be similar in strength to himself and not belong to his own camp, so he wouldn't feel bad even if they died.

And on Blue Star at this time, only the Star Apostle was the best candidate!
