Chapter 1042: Chapter 466: Annihilating the Star River, Prolonging Reincarnation, All Life Must Die!

“What did you see when you mentioned the Xu Ling invasion in the same breath with that matter?”

At this moment, all the leaders focused their attention on the strategist.

“Death!”

The strategist decisively uttered the word.

Then his fingers flicked slightly in mid-air, and a huge light screen emerged.

On the light screen was a graph with interwoven black and red lines.

On that graph, the original line maintained a relatively stable trend, neither rising nor falling, remaining on the same level.

Until the end of the graph, it abruptly rose, forming a checkmark from a straight line, with the upward line continuing to extend.

“This is the record of deaths in the Star River over the past hundred years, including the death rate of all life among low, intermediate, and high-level civilizations.”

“In the past century, due to the Great Peace Agreement, the death rate in the Star River was kept at 7.5%, though these are just the surface data. The real data is closer to 8.1% to 8.8%.”

“This figure is relatively healthy.”

The strategist pointed to the graph and spoke fluently.

The population, like the branches and leaves of a tree, needs to be pruned of dead and diseased branches to ensure other branches can absorb more nutrients.

The death rate is similar; within a controllable range, death is a process of selection for the entire Star River.

This is something all advanced civilizations are aware of in their hearts.

However, unlike the Human Race, they did not specifically record the death rate as 12.

But when they saw the specific figures on that chart, the eyes of the Supreme beings from those advanced civilizations momentarily contracted.

Death rate…12%!!!

“12, less than half a month after the Great Peace Agreement was broken, the death rate in the Star River reached 12%.”

“Behind this string of probabilities lies tens of billions of lives.”

The strategist uttered this shocking and terrifying number in a calm voice.

Tens of billions of lives.

The death caused by an advanced civilization plundering an intermediate civilization may not be too much, but the impact is profound.

The plundered civilization may be slaughtered by equivalent civilizations not plundered and may plunder lower-level civilizations to quickly make up for losses, causing slaughter.

The intermediate civilizations they plundered will inevitably replicate their path.

Under such a chain reaction, the death rate caused by advanced civilizations will quadruple or more, and this is just the impact of one advanced civilization plundering one intermediate civilization.

Not to mention, almost all advanced civilizations, except for the Human Race and a few others, are plundering, and they are unlikely to plunder only one intermediate civilization.

Desire is like a rock rolling down a high mountain that will never stop once it starts.

The Supremes present, without exception, have walked out of mountains of corpses and seas of blood, standing among the very top tier of the Star River. To say the feet of each are treading on endless corpses is not an exaggeration.

But when the term ‘tens of billions’ emerged, their calm demeanor finally changed.

In just half a month, the Star River death rate increased by 4%.

The balance between birth and death rates has already been broken, and if not for this Xu Ling invasion, this catastrophe might cause a life and death imbalance across the entire Star River.

Momentarily, many Supremes were rendered speechless.

However, the strategist did not condemn them but continued to speak.

“The moment the Great Peace Agreement was torn apart, death was already destined to appear, but this number exceeded my expectations.”

“Based on my race’s judgment and speculation, I think…”

The strategist paused, placed his hands on the table, and scanned all the Supremes present, speaking word by word.

“Someone is driving the Star River’s death; they need death for something, but the speed of death spreading is not satisfying them, or for some reason, they urgently need the Star River to experience more deaths.

So…the Xu Ling invaded!!!”

This statement caused an immediate uproar!!

The Supreme from the Zhi Luo race whirled his pea-sized eyes: “Human Race strategist, you mean there’s a problem with the Ultimate Civilizations, they’re manufacturing the death rate, and colluding with Xu Ling!”

Supremes from other races also showed uncertain expressions, their faces heavy with inexplicable weight.

The true reason the Great Peace Agreement was torn apart was the joint nomination by the five Ultimate Civilizations. Advanced civilizations originally had the chance to vote against it, but blinded by greed, most agreed to eradicate ‘Xu Ling’ at the time.

And now, at such a critical juncture as the Xu Ling invasion, the five Ultimate Civilizations shut their doors, and no entity can contact them. Coupling with the Human Race’s previous words,

led the Supremes to an astonishing conclusion….

Have the Ultimate Civilizations…betrayed??

But…why?? How could this happen??

As the Star River’s most powerful beings standing at its true pinnacle, the Ultimate Civilizations, while reclusive, truly possess the universe’s most abundant resources.

They are the least likely to betray, not to mention absolutely impossible to betray.

If these words were said in the past, whoever mentioned the Ultimate Civilizations betraying would have been ridiculed as a lunatic by other civilizations.

But now, at this critical moment, the disappearance of the five Ultimates, combined with the data provided by the Human Race, caused the Supremes present to feel a shiver in their hearts.
