Chapter 1727: Human Cannon, Second Round of Preparations?
Chapter 1727: Chapter 1727: Human Cannon, Second Round of Preparations?
Bai Ling pondered for a moment, then said, “Pavilion Master, if she really comes back, and we have no power to stop her, is there a follow-up plan? We…”
Tang Wulin had not yet opened his mouth when Ling Zichen said calmly, “Yes. The follow-up plan has long been in place within the federation. This plan is called Rebirth. It started being prepared around the time the first Cosmic Fleet ventured into the universe to explore and discovered the first planet suitable for our survival.”
“Rebirth?” Bai Ling looked at her in surprise. Undoubtedly, this was a secret of the federation. Even Tang Wulin and Gu Yuena were unaware of it, as they had been asleep for ten thousand years. However, Ling Zichen had witnessed the entire process. She had always been a top figure in the federation.
Ling Zichen said solemnly, “The reason for the Rebirth plan is mainly because, back then, upon discovering other planets suitable for survival, we also discovered alien life forms and resources from alien planets. At that time, scientists proposed that since there are other lifeforms in space, could these lifeforms possess powerful existences? The answer is obviously yes. As for how powerful these alien life forms could be, we couldn’t determine. As explorers, encountering other alien life forms and carrying out cosmic colonization and expansion are bound to lead to wars and enemies. If the enemy remains within our control, of course, that’s best. But what if we encounter an enemy we can’t match?”
“The main cannon of the First Fleet was constructed to such extreme specifications precisely because of this hypothetical scenario. I was the one who oversaw the design of the First Fleet’s main cannon back then.”
Tang Wulin couldn’t help but laugh upon hearing this, “No wonder the First Fleet’s main cannon looked so familiar when it fired. It turns out it was from you, the human cannon!”
Ling Zichen rolled her eyes, “You are the human cannon. Don’t interrupt me.”
Tang Wulin shook his head helplessly but stayed silent. Gu Yuena couldn’t help but flash a slight smile. Although she was wary of Ling Zichen, she sincerely admired her. Back then, when Ling Zichen fearlessly attacked the Abyss Sage King as a human cannon, that heroic image was imprinted in the hearts of all participants.
Ling Zichen continued, “While enhancing the combat power of the First Fleet, we also started formulating the Rebirth plan. It mainly addresses the extreme scenario when humans face extinction—what should we do? Therefore, in the Rebirth System, we’ve primarily stored a human gene bank, and incubators for sperm and eggs. Coupled with our human civilization and ample resources.”
“These elements will ensure that once revived, reborn humans can access sufficient resources, inherit our genes, and be reborn again, giving humanity a new opportunity. Allowing us to continue our legacy.”
“This entire plan was made for the continuation of humanity. And if we do encounter an extreme situation, we will naturally also try to escape with as many people as possible, like the Celestial Harmony Clan. Nevertheless, the Rebirth plan would fall upon a special warship. This warship is capable of sustaining long-distance flights, covering at least several galaxies, carrying these essential items further anew and at unprecedented speeds.”
“Throughout these millennia, we’ve continuously refined the Rebirth plan, adding more new technology and knowledge into it, making it more refined. Should the Mother of Deep Red appear, the Rebirth plan will launch immediately. This plan has been in place since the moment of its confirmation, ready for launch. The Rebirth plan is not controlled by the federation but is in the hands of the Tang Sect, as determined by the council and presided over by me.”
Hearing this, General Bai Ling couldn’t help but feel genuine admiration. Cosmic exploration is indeed a dangerous undertaking. Despite humanity’s gradual strengthening over thousands of years, facing stronger opponents was inevitable. For example, the current Dragon Horse Federation stands as a significant example. Even though humanity possesses such destructive power in their Cosmic Fleet, they’ve never dared to truly wage war with the Dragon Horse Federation due to their immense individual strength.
Tang Wulin was also surprised upon hearing her words, “The Douluo Federation’s preparation is truly comprehensive! Even the Rebirth System is ready.”
“Does the Rebirth System include Soul Masters?” Gu Yuena asked curiously.
Ling Zichen said, “Naturally, it includes them. We even prepared many artificial Soul Rings and the technology for their manufacturing, all supplied by the Spirit Pagoda. However, it’s an encrypted document, only to be decrypted once the Rebirth System is activated. That’s the Spirit Pagoda being wary of us.”
Tang Wulin couldn’t help but laugh, “The Spirit Pagoda’s wariness of us has never lessened.”
Gu Yuena rolled her eyes at him, “That’s the purpose of the Spirit Pagoda’s existence.”
Ling Zichen said, “Anyway, I’ve already given the order: once the Mother of Deep Red appears, the Rebirth plan will be executed immediately, irrespective of whether or not we can withstand it. Just in case.”
Gu Yuena said, “What if we manage to withstand it?”
Ling Zichen said, “It’s not a bad thing to have a human civilization emerge several galaxies away. To withstand it would naturally be for the best. How’s Xuanyu’s situation over there? What’s the status?”
Tang Wulin said, “We’re doing our best. None of us knows what breakthroughs lie ahead. Right now, he can only rely on himself. But at the final moment, when he needs our help, we’ll lend him a hand.”
Upon hearing this, the smile on Gu Yuena’s face disappeared. She furrowed her elegant brows, glanced at him, but said nothing.
“If Xuanyu doesn’t succeed and the Sky Dragon Leader is dead, then none of us can withstand the God King, can we? Even with the combined power of the eight Cosmic Fleets and the Golden Eye Black Dragon King Battleship, we still wouldn’t be able to withstand it,” Ling Zichen said, frowning slightly.
Tang Wulin said, “At that point, we can only try to buy time. Gu Yue and I have a secret method that might give Xuanyu enough time.”
“You guys have a secret method?” Ling Zichen asked, looking at him in surprise.
Tang Wulin nodded, “At least we can try. Even if we don’t reach the God King level, we should still be able to hold on for a while.”
Ling Zichen seemed to understand something and fell silent, “Anyway, when the time comes, everyone will play their cards.”
Tang Wulin’s mouth twitched, “Are you preparing your human cannon for round two?”
“Get lost!” Ling Zichen said grumpily.
General Bai Ling listened on the side. In the presence of the three leaders, he considered himself nearly invisible. However, inside, he felt a strange excitement—witnessing history. Even though he didn’t yet know if this history could be passed down, being able to witness it filled him with immense pride.
…
Ascending Dragon Platform.
Lan Xuanyu slowly spread his arms to the sides of his body, having prepared himself. The final breakthrough was about to begin.
Once this process started, it could no longer be concealed.
A faint nine-colored halo began to rise from the surface of the Ascending Dragon Platform, enveloping it entirely in a misty aura.
The colors slowly spread downward. On the surface of the Ascending Dragon Pillar, which resembled the surface of a nailed stone, fine cracks started to appear. A faint humming sound started emanating from the entire Ascending Dragon Pillar.
The bloodline within Lan Xuanyu slightly trembled, resonating with the Ascending Dragon Pillar.
