Under One Person, your rebellious life has reached the heavens?

"In short, the subterranean race never intended to cooperate with us. They are waiting for the star race to return so that the two can unite, wipe out the entire world, exterminate the races on the surface, underground, and in various secret realms, and make the world belong to the human race."

"Then, we also obtained some top-level intelligence..."

At this point, Yue Min sighed softly, exchanged a glance with Jiang Mo, hesitated slightly, but still spoke:

"The number of Star Humans is...72 billion. Their warships are divided into four levels: Heaven, Earth, Profound, and Yellow, as well as the Eternal Mothership, which is the planetary warship they modified, and is above the four levels."

"Twelve Heaven-level ships, three hundred and sixty Earth-level ships, five thousand seven hundred Profound-level ships, and eighty-nine thousand Yellow-level ships."

"Even the weakest Yellow-level is an alloy monster with a body length of 100,000 meters, equipped with twelve primary Star-Destroying Cannons, each of which is a powerful weapon capable of killing a fifth-level Demon King."

"?!"

Upon hearing Yue Min's description, Yao Wang, Yue Li, and Xu Qiuyu could no longer sit still.

This is absolutely terrifying! A single warship can fire 12 star-destroying cannons, capable of killing a king with a single shot, and there are a total of 89,000 such warships!

What kind of monster did they encounter?!

Can the power of surface civilization really stop it?! It would probably all turn to dust.

"The claim that it can hunt down a sixth-level demon king is not unfounded."

"The R.14B, developed by the subterranean human race, is equipped with a broken version of the Star Destroyer Cannon, which can only exert one-tenth of its power. However, such firepower is enough to severely injure a demon king of the third heaven."

"If a Yellow-class warship were to personally arrive on the battlefield and fire all 12 cannons at once, even a Demon King at the sixth or seventh level would be severely injured if hit, and would basically lose the ability to fight. Moreover, the maximum number of cannons that each Yellow-class warship can fire is still unknown."

Jiang Mo listened quietly, remaining calm throughout.

At this moment, he understood why the others looked so preoccupied. One or two ships were like ants, easily swept away, but there were 89,000 of them. Even if they could easily dodge that level of bombardment, the world behind them would not be spared.

"Where are the Xuan-class warships?"

Jiang Mo continued to ask, saying that although the number 89,000 was huge, it was still within his ability to handle.

"The intermediate-level Star Destroyer cannon has double the power, with 24 cannons. The next level up is the Earth-level cannon, with 48 cannons."

"Upon reaching the Heavenly level, it becomes a high-level Star Destroyer Cannon, equipped with six cannons. Each cannon can penetrate the secret realm, but whether it can completely obliterate it is questionable."

"But the ultimate planet-destroying cannons belonging to the Eternal Mothership are targeting our entire world. As long as they scan the location of the Earth's core and hit it perfectly, the entire planet will explode. And their Eternal Mothership has three such cannons."

"This this...."

Even Xu Qiuyu, who had seen many grand occasions, was so frightened that her face turned pale and her lips trembled slightly.

The technological gap between their surface civilization and the interstellar human race was so vast that it was impossible to bridge, and a sense of despair took root and sprouted wildly in their hearts.

"Most importantly, they also discovered the world beyond the Abyss. According to the Starry Sky Clan's orders, they do not care about the survival of this home planet."

"The reason is that their scarce resources cannot support the consumption of 72 billion humans and a massive fleet, so they plan to use the explosion caused by destroying the Earth's core to shatter the barrier leading to the outside world in one fell swoop."

"How did they know?" Jiang Mo frowned.

This is really a big problem. First, they were targeted by the three major powers outside, and then the Starry Sky Humans used them as a stepping stone. They thought the latter was less of a threat than the former, but they never expected them to be even more insane.

Regarding this question, the Flying Immortal Master solemnly explained the reason:

"They migrated back to their homeland partly because of hatred, and partly because the ancient planet they discovered during their escape had been completely drained and died out."

"Their ancient planet, which was used to develop life, was several times larger than Earth. Due to its abnormal and wasteful development methods, it perished in less than a few thousand years."

"The planet that the mothership transformed is one of the five satellites of the ancient life-bearing planet. The other four have also withered and died. Wherever these interstellar humans go, there is desolation for thousands of miles, no different from locusts."

"However, there are no habitable planets within a million light-years of the surrounding star system."

"Even if they randomly choose a dead planet, spend a huge amount of resources to transform it, and settle there for a hundred years, they still cannot escape the extinction of their civilization. Moreover, even though they use many space wormholes to jump and explore, they still cannot find a habitable ancient planet, so they have no choice but to shift their focus back to their homeland."

"so....."

Jiang Mo roughly guessed what had happened and directly deduced:

"Instead of returning directly, they provided some kind of technology to the subterranean people and instructed them to scan the secret realm of Tianyuan to confirm the existence of a much larger world beyond Tianyuan before deciding to return? Or perhaps they already knew this when they ventured into the stars three thousand years ago?"

"It's the first scenario you described," the Flying Immortal Master sighed softly.

"What about the subterranean humans? They're still on this planet. Don't the space humans care about their lives?"

Yue Li's eyes widened, exclaiming that these were war madmen. Compared to them, the demon kings and evil creatures that ravaged various places were simply child's play.

"Their memories and physical data have all been transferred to the mothership of the Star Human race. In other words, they can be perfectly cloned and resurrected at any time."

"Resurrection? I think it's just a matter of one-click data deletion after all the sacrifices have been made."

Jiang Mo didn't think that the Starry Sky Humans would regard the Underground Humans as their own kind, just like the cultivators of the sects and cults in the secret realm never regarded ordinary humans as human beings.

When different individuals of the same species are vastly different in every way, there is no equality between them. Often, the weaker one is manipulated at will by the stronger one.

Yue Min's expression darkened slightly, and he no longer concealed the intense killing intent in his eyes, coldly laughing:

"The humans who live underground now, although they are alive, have thoughts, consciousness, and emotions, are also pawns that can be discarded and sacrificed at any time."

"However, their population is over 75 million. If we were to resurrect them all, it would be a waste of considerable resources for the Starry Sky Humans."

"Their orders are to spare no effort to have the subterranean humans guard the artificial wormhole through which they will return. Large numbers of mechs will land at the transit station, and those mechs will be responsible for fighting against all the powerful beings in this world to ensure that the ancient star road is not destroyed. When the time is right, those fleets will cross the void to arrive."

"In my opinion, there's more than just this one path, isn't there?" Jiang Mo asked.

"Yes, this is what the Starry Sky Race and the Subterranean Race said. It certainly doesn't include all the plans. They will come through other paths. It's just that the one they've chosen now is more likely a decoy to attract our attention and cover up their true intentions."

"Helplessly," Xianhua said, a hint of loneliness and guilt appearing on his face. As if anticipating Jiang Mo's question, he spoke:

"This concerns the lives of countless beings, and the causal relationships involved are far too great. I am old and frail, and cannot withstand the backlash from Heaven. I cannot pinpoint their exact passage..."

"Senior, is it not even allowed to cast a spell indirectly to help me bear the consequences?"

Jiang Mo continued to ask, feeling a long-lost sense of pressure; the real great era was about to begin! Even someone as strong as him dared not relax in the slightest.

"..."

The old man didn't explain in detail, he just shook his head gently.

"If I target you with the 'Nirvana' spell, and you are restored to your prime, is that not enough?"

"No, I can't do it."

"By doing this, you are essentially sacrificing your own life; the price is too high."

"Even if we survive this interstellar crisis, what about the threats from the Great Ye Dynasty, the Sunset Royal Court, and the Void Sword Sect? You must have a backup plan; this is the best arrangement."

Xianhua deceived Jiang Mo. Although his eyes and words showed no flaws, Jiang Mo still instinctively concluded that:

"You're lying to me. You can do it, and besides... we have no choice."

"......"

The old man remained silent, unsure how to refute the argument.

“You know my past, and you also know that in my early years when I was fighting the enemy, I always had a habit: whenever I faced an enemy that I was sure I would eliminate, I would gather my strength in advance and deliver the strongest blow to end the battle as quickly as possible and minimize the risks.”

"I've done this kind of thing a lot, so naturally I've become wary. I worry that one day someone else will do this to me first."

"Senior, what if they planned to destroy the entire Heavenly Abyss before they even arrived?"

"I don't know how strong the beam from the Eternal Mothership is, and I'm not sure if my physical body can withstand it, but if it penetrates the Earth's core, we're all doomed."

"Even if the probability is only one in a thousand or one in ten thousand, it's enough to make me anxious."

"Therefore, I hope you can understand my thoughts."

Jiang Mo clasped his hands together and bowed to the old man to show his sincerity.

“Young friend, it’s not that I don’t want to help you, but helping you might push you into an abyss of no return.”

"Do you know how many billions of lives are involved here? At least tens of billions, and at most hundreds of billions. The backlash from that is simply beyond human capacity to withstand."

"Senior, please help me."

Jiang Mo remained resolute and unwavering throughout.

He knew that this choice was extremely dangerous, but he had no way out. If, as he predicted, the beam of light from the Eternal Mothership arrived before the fleet, the entire Abyss would be reduced to ashes.

"Senior Uncle...we have no other choice."

Seeing this, the Flying Immortal Master was deeply moved. He took a deep breath and made the most important decision he had ever made:

"Perhaps we can use the faith of the church to help him mitigate some of the backlash."

"..."

Xianhua hesitated, unable to calculate how severe the backlash would be. He and Jiang Mo were trying to glimpse the secrets of heaven, like a lone boat in a storm, possibly to be swallowed up by the monstrous waves brewing by fate at any moment.

"Senior, trust me."

Jiang Mo spoke up again to make the request.

His eyes were bright and gentle, and his expression was exceptionally calm. There was no trace of the tension and repression one would expect before facing death; all that remained was... a calm composure that one was accustomed to!

These four words alone are like a sharp blade, swiftly breaking through the old man's psychological defenses.

Yes.

Xianhua wavered. Just as Jiang Mo said, they couldn't afford to gamble with a one in a thousand or one in ten thousand chance. If it happened, the world would be doomed.

However, the fragments in Jiang Mo's hands and the fragments of the Flying Immortal Master alone are not enough to rewind time and cover the entire world. Only a complete history book can be immune to these destructive beams.

"Senior, may I ask you one more question? What is their agreed-upon return time with the underground human race?"

"The trajectory of the stars has been clearly identified, and it will surely arrive within five years."

Xuan Hua's answer did not dispel Jiang Mo's thoughts; on the contrary, it made him even more determined. His resolve hardened, and he smiled brightly, saying:

"Since it's so rushed, I hope you can help me eliminate the hidden dangers in one fell swoop."

"I hope my senior uncle will grant my request at his discretion!"

The Flying Immortal Master also pleaded, agreeing with the Mystic Venerable's decision.

Even at great cost, they must seize the initiative. In a clash between two civilizations, the slightest mistake can lead to total defeat, leaving no room for hesitation.

"Have you thought it through?" Xianhua looked at Jiang Mo, her tone full of worry.

"That's my job."

Jiang Mo responded calmly, his eyebrows relaxed, pleased with the old man's statement.

"I am willing to offer all my resources to help you," the Flying Immortal Master said with great confidence.

"good....."

"it is good...."

"it is good."

Xianhua simply said "okay" three times. This time, he didn't refuse. Instead, he reached out his hands to help Jiang Mo up, everything was understood without words.

With the tide about to turn and everything collapsing, they all wished to save the day.

Chapter 521 Suspecting an Old Acquaintance, Attacking the Underground

After confirming that Xianhua was willing to accept 'Nirvana', Jiang Mo, the Flying Immortal Master, and Yue Min continued their previous discussion. His attention shifted to the warship, and he pressed for details:

"Besides the Star-Destroying Cannon, do warships of the Heaven, Earth, Profound, and Yellow level four have any other weapons?"

"Yes, every warship has an energy magnetic field and hardness defense, which is thousands of times stronger than the superalloys they created three thousand years ago."

“In ancient times, their kingdoms also had similar energy barriers in their capitals, with defensive capabilities comparable to those of magic artifacts used by Dao Lord-level cultivators, except that the defensive range was much larger. However, this time the energy field has undergone countless iterations, with an increase of more than a thousand times, making it difficult to break through.”

"Moreover, it is more sensitive and can achieve fully automatic coverage. It will not be turned on all the time, but when it encounters an attack location, it will make phase predictions in advance, calculate the trajectory and the range of impact, and then activate the energy magnetic field to achieve stronger endurance."

"In addition, the metal used in their warships is the hardest natural metal in their star system, with extremely high heat resistance. It will not be destroyed even after being smelted at hundreds of millions of degrees Celsius."

The introduction of the Flying Immortal Master completely overturned Yue Li and Xu Qiuyu's understanding.

It should be noted that the core temperature of the sun is only around 1500 million degrees Celsius. Such a warship could cross the sun without being damaged. So how could it be destroyed by human or demonic power?

Correct.

The Ninth Department's technology research institute did indeed create an 'artificial sun' with a temperature of 1.3 million degrees Celsius that lasted for 30 seconds.

But it was just a tiny flame, no bigger than a match, and it took a huge amount of resources and countless sophisticated devices to create this miracle of humankind.

Nine years ago, the research was suspended because the technological bottleneck could not be broken and effective returns could not be obtained in the short term, and the required research expenses were astronomical.

But how can such a flame be launched into space and pose a threat to warships?

The opponent is a giant steel whale in the starry sky that is 100,000 meters long, while the flames in the high-pressure temperature chamber of the laboratory are like shrimp. Even if they bite with all their might, they will not cause any damage to the warship.
