Chapter 309 World No. 6
Li Yi and Jiang Mingtian moved forward in the direction pointed by the powerful man from the Golden Academy. As expected, they did not encounter any attacks on the way. Occasionally, they saw some evolvers passing by, but they only paid a little attention to them. After identifying the identities of the two people, they did not stop and immediately went away.
However, there were still sounds of fighting coming from some places, and even huge explosions were heard in some places. The other side seemed to have used some weapons of mass destruction, causing damage to various places in the Golden Academy.
The Golden Academy seemed to have been caught off guard today. They did not expect that enemies would invade across the border, so they suffered a great loss.
Fortunately, the masters in the Golden Academy have reacted at this moment and started to eliminate the enemies, so this turmoil will not last long.
"No wonder we were required to conduct actual combat tests during the previous assessment. It turns out that they were preparing for future cross-border wars." Jiang Mingtian said.
Li Yi replied, "If we cross borders on a large scale, wars are inevitable. We usually cross borders secretly, just like sneaking across the border, so we naturally won't cause hostility from other worlds. But if we want to transfer population, sneaking across the border is almost unrealistic, so we can only fight. But what I criticize most is that the Golden Academy shouldn't have chosen a powerful world as its opponent."
"You are wrong. The world where the genetic warriors who appeared today are from was carefully selected by the Golden Academy." Suddenly, at this moment, a familiar figure strode towards this side.
That person turned out to be Zhou Yu who had disappeared before.
Zhou Yu was in a very bad condition at the moment. He was covered in blood, his face was pale, and he was seriously injured. He had no strength to fight anymore. He was lucky to be able to maintain normal movements.
"Li Yi, Jiang Mingtian, I'm glad to see you're all right. I'm sorry, I lost the battle just now. I couldn't stop that level 5 gene warrior. Fortunately, I called for support in time. The person who supported you is Luo Tianyou, a powerful spiritual power master in the Golden Academy. With his help, I believe the crisis over there will be resolved."
"So that's how it is." Li Yi nodded.
Jiang Mingtian asked, "By the way, you just said that the world of the genetic warrior was carefully selected by the Golden Academy. What does this mean?"
Zhou Yu calmed down and said, "I told you before that pursuing peaceful survival or practicing evolution are two different choices. However, as evolvers who have already embarked on the path of cultivation, most people are unwilling to go to an era where the energy of the universe is thin and cultivation is impossible. Even if that would bring peace and freedom, after experiencing the benefits of cultivation and the leap forward in life, how can they be willing to fall into the Dharma Ending Age and degenerate into mortals?"
"Moreover, right now our world is experiencing a Heaven-shattering Incident, and there is no guarantee that the next world in the Dharma Ending Age will not also experience a Heaven-shattering Incident. Even if we want to escape, we have to choose a similar world, at least so that we can continue our cultivation path. However, the Golden Academy has greater ambitions. It wants both cultivation and peace, and it also wants to learn from each other's strengths and make up for the deficiencies in its cultivation system."
"So, World No. 6, the world where these genetic warriors are located, was targeted."
Li Yi listened thoughtfully. It turned out that his ideas were a little naive. He only wanted to escape and pursue the most basic survival. However, these top masters of the Golden Academy were not satisfied with just staying alive. They wanted to continue practicing and were unwilling to go to the world of the Dharma Ending Age. At the same time, they also wanted to use other worlds as resources to help themselves go further.
Zhou Yu said: "Although, to World No. 6, our people are invaders and belong to the evil side, but in order to survive, we have no choice but to do so. If we don't deal with them, we have to deal with people from other worlds. This is inevitable. If possible, the Golden Academy also wants to find a world with no people and abundant cosmic energy, but after so many cross-borders, we still haven't found it."
"So, those spaceships and armors in the Golden Academy were stolen from World No. 6?" Li Yi asked.
Zhou Yu said, "No, we got them through trade. We can't steal them. Spaceships and armors all have intelligent systems. If we don't open up permissions, we can't use them even if we steal them. Li Yi, you don't think that World No. 6 is a happy and perfect world, do you? There is also oppression in their world. The upper echelons live a life of luxury and debauchery. The lower-class citizens work every day for three meals a day. Moreover, the route of gene warriors has been monopolized by the powerful. Occasionally, some potential people are selected from the citizens to become gene warriors, and the gene potions used are the inferior ones."
"The upper limit of the gene warriors who use inferior gene potions has been locked. No matter how hard they try, they can only reach level five at most. If they are lucky enough to break through, their genes will collapse and they will die directly. Apart from this, their gene warriors will awaken their special powers from level six, and their strength will increase by leaps and bounds. However, level six gene warriors belong to the resources of the upper class and the powerful, and ordinary people will never be able to reach them in their lifetime."
"Having genetic warriors above level six allows the upper echelons and dignitaries of their world to ensure their unshakable ruling position, so that they can wantonly play with the law, trample on life, and even kill an innocent citizen in the street. They can also modify the regulations of the intelligent court to make themselves innocent."
"Of course, where there is oppression there is resistance, so there have always been resistance forces in their world, wanting to overthrow the rule of the upper echelons, open up genetic freedom, improve intelligent laws, and build a world where everyone is equal. Unfortunately, their resistance forces lack top genetic warriors and have no military force, so no matter how many times they revolt, they will fail."
"Until that day, our team of Evolvers opened the cross-border gate, giving their resistance army hope. So they took the initiative to contact us and establish a deal, trying to use our help to break the shackles of genes and complete an unprecedented uprising."
"Did they succeed?" Li Yi asked.
Zhou Yu smiled and said, "The inferior gene potion has defects, which locks the upper limit of the gene warriors, while we evolve our bodies to make up for the defects and deficiencies of our genes. The two are a perfect match. On the third day of cooperation, a level 5 gene warrior in the resistance army broke the genetic shackles after he began to practice and broke through to become a level 6 gene warrior." "They described it as the first ray of light that illuminates the darkness."
Jiang Mingtian said, "What happened next?"
"The resistance is still accumulating strength, and we have also obtained armor, spaceships, intelligent systems, genetic potions, etc. through the resistance." Zhou Yu said: "Originally, the cooperation would have continued, but the news that the resistance had a sixth-level genetic warrior was leaked, which attracted the attention of the other world's top leaders, and then the battle broke out."
"But the other side is very smart. They have deployed a large number of civilian genetic warriors below level six. Genetic warriors above level six rarely appear."
"Why is this?" Jiang Mingtian asked in doubt, "Why not use the top combat power and send these ordinary genetic warriors to die? What's the point?"
Zhou Yu suddenly smiled jokingly: "For example, today's suicide revenge attack is of course meaningless to us, but for them, it is a good opportunity to incite citizens, attract hatred, and consolidate their rule. After enough civilian gene warriors die, there will be an irreconcilable hatred between them and our world. In this way, there will be a steady stream of citizens attracted by hatred and join the gene warrior army led by the top leaders. Even the resistance army will be encouraged to stand on their side completely."
"As for how many people will die if this world-hate war is started, their leaders don't care. It's not them who will die anyway. As long as their rule is not in trouble, that's enough. If they really can't beat us, they can just surrender, cede territory and pay compensation, and then live the same life. At most, they won't live as comfortably as before, and will only eat meat twice instead of three times."
"Fuck, the other side's top leaders are so insidious. They tied all the people of a country together and want to fight a cross-border war with us." Jiang Mingtian couldn't help but curse.
"They are also a group of inherently evil guys." Li Yi's mouth twitched when he heard this.
Zhou Yu laughed and said, "This is just a rough outline of their tactics. There are even more ruthless ones, such as making up an excuse to collude with our prisoners, purging dissidents, and then deliberately causing destruction and killing some civilians if hatred is not enough. Or they shout slogans to deal with the prisoners and incite civilians to participate in some dangerous genetic experiments."
"In short, no matter how dark and dirty things there are in their world, they throw them onto us prisoners. Now, in their mouths, we have become inherently evil beings, just as Li Yi said."
"Can we still play it like this? This is too shameless. I have to bear such a big pot before I even cross over?" Jiang Mingtian opened his eyes wide, feeling that his worldview had been refreshed.
"Cough cough."
Zhou Yu couldn't help but cough twice, and blood flowed out. Without waiting for the two to ask, he waved his hand and said, "I'm fine. I won't die. My injuries are quite serious. I guess I need to recuperate for a while. That level 5 gene warrior was really brave and ready to die. It's not unfair that I lost."
"Bottom line? How can a corrupt upper echelon have a bottom line? Wasn't it the same in our ancient dynasties after they became corrupt? That's why they were overthrown and dynasties changed. It's just that their world class is locked in by genes and they can't resist, not that they don't want to resist."
"Instructor, these things should be confidential. Is it really okay to tell them out like this?" Li Yi asked.
Zhou Yu said, "It's a secret in their world, but it's nothing in our world. You've all arrived at the Golden Academy, and there will be a lot of things you can learn about in the future. The situation in World No. 6 is just a story. There are other stories from other worlds, but you won't be interested after hearing too many of them."
"I'm telling you this today because the enemy's genetic warriors have already attacked us, so that you won't be kept in the dark about what's going on."
After listening to it, Li Yi and Jiang Mingtian had a general understanding of what happened today and knew the whole story.
Now thinking back, I really feel sorry for the two genetic warriors who died in the battle. Needless to say, those two level 4 genetic warriors were definitely of civilian origin, and they crossed over driven by revenge, and they never thought about going back alive.
But this attack did not leave no one dead.
When the three people arrived at the new residence of the Golden Academy, they saw that many buildings had been destroyed, several bodies had been cleared out, and there were also some injured people.
