Mecha Era, Punch the Stars

Chapter 443 Talking History
Lin Jianlong glanced at Li Yi with surprise, then nodded and said:
"exactly."

"The time this process takes depends solely on how long the last supreme being, or the last quasi-god, can sustain it."

"So here's the question: if one or more supreme beings could withstand the calamity for a long time and persist in not feigning death during this process, what do you think would happen?"

The three were startled, and a thought simultaneously arose in their minds.

Could this be the reason why disasters struck so early in their time?

At this point, they began to have even more guesses about Lin Jianlong.

The three exchanged glances discreetly, but none of them raised the question first.

Lin Jianlong seemed unconcerned by their stares and laughed:
"Judging from your expressions, you seem to understand."

"At the end of the second era, a supreme being, with a profound conceptual body, withstood a long period of calamity."

"You understand, right? In the later stages of the calamity, it becomes a prisoner's dilemma among the top supreme beings."

"They understood that only a few supreme beings remained in the end, but those who remained were also the strongest, enough to dominate an entire era."

"They were wary of each other, and neither was willing to fake their death first."

"Because they know that if they can hold on, then those who are on par with them will surely persevere as well."

"And it was precisely because they had to close off their communication channels that they had to endure the ordeal and prolong the disaster to their limits."

"As a result, those weaker supreme beings who had laid out backup plans were directly wiped out by the disaster when they revived after thousands, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or even millions of years."

Even if a Supreme-level being revived, their strength will be very weak, and they will still be found by calamities.

"Their situation is actually worse than those of quasi-gods."

"This has resulted in the overall strength of the third era being far inferior to that of the first two eras."

"Often, the Supreme Beings have a great influence on the next era."

"They climbed to the highest point, but could not climb any higher. Faced with their own decay, they had to devise ingenious plans and leave behind many contingency plans and legacies."

"However, due to the influence of the previous era, the third era did not shine as brightly as the first two eras, with many powerful figures emerging."

"It is a strange phenomenon that a mid-level supreme being like Pu Ying can become the most powerful."

"Then, the fourth era accumulated power until the fifth era, when an unprecedented era of strong individuals emerged once again."

"So, unsurprisingly, in the Fifth Era, several powerful individuals have emerged who can withstand calamities for a long time."

"Then, it was our era's turn to suffer."

"The disasters become more and more terrifying as time goes by, and the crystallization of civilization from previous eras is destroyed in an instant."

"Moreover, the enormous energy accumulated by this calamity still has too much left after the destruction of the Fifth Era."

"Therefore, before our era has even reached the threshold of a million years, we will face a new calamity."

"And barring any unforeseen circumstances, it will be even more ferocious than the previous times."

Hearing this, the three were even more shocked.

Regardless of the cause of the disaster, since they already knew it was coming, they didn't feel the mystery deeply.

But they found the lifespans and methods of these top experts to be outrageous.

A million years?
Can the Supreme Being control his own resurrection a million years later?
Is it really possible for a creature to live that long?

After all, even the strongest human beings now probably won't live past three thousand years old, right?

Tan Yaozu couldn't help but ask, "Can a Supreme-level expert really live that long?" Lin Jianlong shook his head and said:

"It depends on the race, but generally speaking, the lifespan ceiling for those at the Heavenly Rank is around a thousand years, with an average of six or seven hundred. The lifespan ceiling for those at the Supreme Rank is around five thousand years, with an average of three or four thousand."

"When you reach the level of a demigod, the lifespan ceiling is about 50,000 years, and the average is usually 10,000 years."

"The ceiling for a quasi-god is 200,000 years, with an average of 100,000 years."

"The span of the Supreme is even larger, with a ceiling of one million years and an average of three hundred thousand years."

"But if they activate their conceptual bodies or sequential divine bodies for a long period of time, their lifespan can be extended even further, beyond your imagination."

"In essence, as long as one grasps the concept of perfection, it is possible to achieve immortality."

"Of course, this is just a possibility, a hypothesis, and an alternative method for those who fail to advance to the True God level."

"They used conceptual bodies to hide in the spacetime rift and avoid the onslaught of disaster."

"Once the disaster is completely over, we can slowly recover, regain our strength, accumulate resources in the next era, explore the truth of the disaster, and find new ways to avoid it."

"They left behind legacies in various star systems, guiding new races to give birth to civilizations, researching new technologies, and giving back to themselves."

"This is the truth behind how top experts can survive for so many eras and emerge again to be active in each era."

"Many of the Supreme beings you see in the materials who have the same title in the First and Fifth Eras are actually the same person."

"Those who left records were not strong enough to see the truth clearly, so the information left over from our time has many inaccuracies."

Li Yi seemed to be thinking something and said:

"What about the Primordial Holy Race? According to that woman, she was born to live for ten thousand years, and could live for hundreds of thousands of years with just casual cultivation. Since such a race has the secret to living for such a long time, why didn't anyone fight for them in ancient times?"

Lin Jianlong shrugged and said:
"The existence of the Primal Holy Race is too well hidden. They are born with extremely strong concealment abilities, and under normal circumstances, they cannot be found at all."

"We've been quite lucky to find even a half-complete member of the Primordial Saint Clan this time."

After listening to Lin Jianlong recount a series of secrets, the three men's suspicions were already welling up.

Tan Yaozu was the first to be unable to hold back and asked:
"Chief of Staff Lin, what exactly is your identity, and how do you know such confidential information?"

Lin Jianlong smiled, glanced at everyone, and said:

"As you might guess, I am indeed a resurrected one."

Tan Yaozu was completely stunned.

Xiao Pingchuan was also somewhat incredulous that his powerful superior, whom he had always respected and admired, was actually a Resurrector.
"Chief, are you joking?"

"joke?"

Lin Jianlong shook his head:
"There's no need to make jokes like that at this point."

"I'm telling you some secrets from ancient times because you're almost at the point where you can learn the truth."

"After all, the battles we are about to face will become increasingly larger."

"The reason why the god Puying sought cooperation with humans was because he discovered my existence."

"His appearance also made me realize that it's about time to tell you some things."

"And the most crucial and important thing is the immortality I saw in Li Yi."

"Although it is only a resemblance, it is a crucial detail."
