Chapter 480 The Ghost Sword's Experience

What exactly did you see in the future?

This question was asked by the Iron-Blooded Emperor.

He didn't say much from the beginning, just sat cross-legged on the edge of the platform listening.

But his expression kept changing, from initial indifference to later seriousness, and now to anxiety.

The Iron-Blooded Emperor is not a patient person.

"What does a Starbreaker look like? How do you fight it? Does it have any weaknesses?" He rattled off a series of questions. "You said you went fifty years in the future, so did you actually see a Starbreaker with your own eyes?"

"I saw it," Gu Yuan replied briefly.

"Then let's be clear, don't hide anything."

Gu Yuan glanced at the Iron-Blooded Emperor.

He seemed to be weighing his options.

Which part would you like to hear?

"all."

"We could talk about it all until tomorrow and still not finish."

"Then let's focus on the key points."

Gu Yuan remained silent for a few seconds.

Then he took out a flat stone slab from a hidden pouch at his waist and placed it in the center of his palm.

The small stone slab lit up, projecting a three-dimensional image onto its surface.

The footage shows a scene of ruins.

These are not ordinary ruins.

It's the ruins of a city, if you can still call it a city.

Cement, steel, and glass shards were scattered everywhere.

But all matter exhibits a strange state:

They are being broken down. Not by weathering, not by corrosion, but by structural decomposition.

Steel is turning into powder, cement is turning into sand, and even the air is becoming thin.

"This is what Earth will look like fifty years from now," Gu Yuan said. "To be precise, this is the ruins of a city in China. I can't even recognize which one it is."

Image switching.

The moon appeared, or rather, a huge black sphere appeared in the place where the moon once was.

That's not the moon.

The moon has been completely swallowed up, replaced by a slowly rotating mass of black matter.

Its surface undulates constantly, and occasionally a few tentacle-like extensions will extend out, reaching towards the Blue Star.

"This is the main body of the Starbreaker," Gu Yuan said. "After the vanguard finished devouring the moon, the main body also descended, and it is even larger than the moon."

The black sphere on the big screen is larger than the moon.

Zhui Feng's legs went weak, and he plopped down on the ground.

"How do we fight?" The Iron-Blooded Emperor's voice was much drier, but he still asked.

"In the timeline I visited, humanity finally gathered ninety-two transcendent beings and launched a final counterattack."

"And the result?"

"Total annihilation."

Two words again.

"When I arrived, all that remained on the battlefield were relics and fragments; there were ninety-two people, not a single survivor."

"Judging from the residual laws I sensed from the relics, their power is probably only one-third of yours," Gu Yuan said, looking at Li Wu.

"So, if we replaced them with transcendent beings of my level, a hundred people might be able to win?" Li Wu asked.

"Not necessarily." Gu Yuan shook his head. "The Star Shatterer isn't a monster; it's a system. Even if you can break through its body, it can repair itself."

"If you cut off its tentacles, it will grow more. If you destroy part of its structure, it will rebuild itself by devouring the surrounding matter."

"Does it have any weaknesses?"

"……have."

Everyone perked up their ears.

"Although the Starbreaker appears to regenerate infinitely, it has a core."

"When the time fragments took me to the future, I spent a long time observing the structure of the Starbreaker, and finally found something deep inside it."

"What is it?"

"A law node." Gu Yuan's expression turned extremely serious.

"All of the Starbreaker's abilities—devouring, regeneration, and distortion of laws—originate from that node. Destroy that node, and the Starbreaker will disintegrate."

"Then why doesn't anyone destroy it?"

"Because you first have to break through the entire body of the Starbreaker, pass through tens of thousands of kilometers of corrosive material, survive its endless regeneration and attacks, and finally touch that node hidden deep in the core."

"and then?"

"Then, with a force that even the Starbreaker cannot distort, the node will be completely erased."

After Gu Yuan finished speaking, he looked at Li Wu.

"So you need a Law Weaver." Li Wu completely understood.

"That's right," Gu Yuan said. "Only the Law Weavers can create attacks that the Star Shatterers cannot distort."

"Because the attack of the Law Weaver is itself a law. The rules you create are more fundamental than the distortions of the Starbreaker, so they cannot alter your attack."

"But to penetrate tens of thousands of kilometers of a body..."

"Five hundred Transcendent Ones are needed to tear open a breach from the outside, and three Law Weavers will break through the breach, find the core node, and destroy it."

"This is the only solution to the war of extinction."

"The only one?" Hua Zitong asked.

"I've considered all the possibilities," Gu Yuan said with certainty. "There's only this one."

Li Wu remained silent.

He is processing this information.

Tens of thousands of kilometers.

Infinite regeneration.

The laws are distorted.

Core node.

This isn't about fighting a game boss.

This is attacking a planet.

A living, cannibalistic planet.

"You said you considered all the possibilities," Li Wu finally spoke. "And the results of your considerations? What's the probability of success?"

Gu Yuan did not answer immediately.

His gaze swept back and forth between Li Wu and Hua Zitong.

"It depends," he said. "In an ideal configuration of five hundred transcendents and three law weavers... it would be about thirty percent."

"Thirty percent," Li Wu repeated.

"Thirty percent?" Zhui Feng's voice shrilled. "Only thirty percent?"

"Thirty percent is already very high." Gu Yuan's voice remained unchanged. "In the timeline I visited, the probability was zero."

zero.

This word is like a needle, pricking everyone's heart.

Even if we manage to gather all these people in the future, it will only be 30%. If we can't gather them all, it will be zero.

Li Wu took a deep breath.

"Thirty percent is enough."

His voice wasn't loud, but everyone on the platform heard it.

30% is enough.

These four words carried a completely different weight when spoken by Li Wu compared to when spoken by someone else.

Because everyone present knew that this man had gotten to where he was today by doing all sorts of "impossibilities".

Three arrows instantly kill a level 100 expert, one arrow destroys three gods, and one person fights a Titan alone.

If anyone can turn a 30% chance into reality, it's him.
