Chapter 170
Numerous runes were flashing on the surface of the buildings, they seemed to make a connection to each other generating some isolation field.
At the same time, the area covered by the formation was so large, clouding even the skies.
In a huge building with a black axe mark labeled, a group of people was seated opposite each other.
The number reached about thirteen, if Wang were here he would be shocked to discover that these individuals were all human.
Not only that, but rather their cultivation was so high, but they still seemed to have sealed themselves inside some dome-shaped array.
The array covers the entire region and above it seems to have turned completely black with some chill spreading out from it.
In the conference hall, a man with short hair seemed to be looking at everyone that had come before he started to speak.
“Our plans have not succeeded at all. Even the probe we wasted all our resources to send out didn’t seem to survive.
.....
Neither were the thousands of egg capsules we sent out. It seems we have to find other ways, If not we might not be capable of holding out for a few hundred years before this black chill gets to us.”
In the hall, everyone becomes silent when they heard it, as their strength is not bad, but a few of them are just representatives of the whole population in this region.
In the same way, they have no choice but to set up mechanisms that can ensure their survival but the situation lately doesn’t seem optimistic.
“One of the egg capsules might have managed to get out, but in the end, we thought it was either sealed or destroyed, but ...” One of the middle-aged women on the side said after some hesitation.
The situation was indeed very hopeless and it this better to go ahead and speak the truth.
“But what?” The man in charge was very impatient and also saw some hope.
“Well we can get some information but not sure about the location, it is sealed. But there is someone that usually comes often to dismantle some part of the egg capsule, and in about sixty years, he could be capable of dismantling everything about the capsule.” Hearing this everyone in the room becomes.
slightly better.
“Then tell me, how do we solve this, we can probably get in contact with the other party, other than the egg capsule, and promise them benefits to allow them to assist us in this plan. Is there a way to communicate with them?” The leader asked again this time his face showed some kind of change.
It was hope, and the other leaders in the hall all gathered looking at the middle-aged woman.
Seeing the look in their eyes, she had no choice but to nod.
“But I need a few decades to make some adjustments to over on this side, otherwise rhe other party might not even bother to pay any attention to anything we have to say.” After she said this her heartbeat was indeed unstable.
She had dug herself into a pit, it would be difficult to accomplish what she just said, the methods she mentioned were only theoretical so she needed to study more of the egg, and capsules to come up with a way.
In the end, when the meeting was over everyone left excluding the woman and leader.
“You just now said there was a way to communicate with the other side is it true?” The man asked lightly.
He had little hope and thus he needed to find out more about some things.
“Well, actually it would require the other side to completely manage to break through the capsule, that way emergency measures left behind could kick. in. Even access to communication equipment could be allowed. With our current situation, we can afford to wait for a few hundred years. A few decades is not worth mentioning, besides, have you thought about what happens after establishing contact?”
This was something they had overlooked from the word go, perhaps the other party might just not be bothered by them in the end.
“You of all people know that we might not be capable of surviving long past the hundreds of years. This planet is weird, without access to radiation from outside the planet, we are doomed.
Now we can hold on because the time set up before could support ys, but as experts, it is indeed easier to guess that the situation would continue to get worse and worse. With hiw big this world is, there exists more than one Sun, but now it seems not to be revolving near our region.” Yes from man’s words, this world could accommodate numerous suns but in the end, they are more like moons.
They can only cover small regions as the planet’s size is exaggerated.
This world had other humans too but it seemed they were in a tough situation and incapable of accessing the sun.
This Kind of information is not something that even Wang knew but he would be shocked to find out the secret about the egg capsule he had sealed up for research.
Over the years he already knew that the egg was not some living thing, and thus his interest was reduced slightly.
He only came back to look at it, when his cultivation was not going smoothly.
In the same way, he seemed to not be in a hurry, but others were.
Based on his nature, if he knew about the origin of the egg capsule, he would probably take it to another far-off distance just to be safe before starting to make some contact.
He doesn’t have any relations with the group and wouldn’t be sure that they would start turning his back on them after helping them out.
He didn’t trust a lot of people. He thought a lot during his free time and concluded, that Ruruo’s home planet seemed destroyed, but all the situations in the past such as planets dying and even martial artists harvesting origins of planets to cultivate.
But this kind of information is only one-sided, and couldn’t be trusted.
In other people’s eyes, this situation just seemed to reflect the end of an era.
In that way, even the strongest people in the universe seemed to have their deadline unless they transcended the cosmos. Since they depend on the cosmos, when its end came they would also accompany it.
It is the real difference between eternal and immortal, one aspect represents having the ability to live for as long as not killed by others in higher realms or stronger. The other implies that lifespan is endless only u der certain conditions other than being killed, such as the external environment.
But those are far from them, survival and concern for their own are the most common in their case.
people only give attention to their own and forget others. In that way, even Wang understands this truth and wouldn’t endanger his family for some kind of strangers just because of all being humans.
In that way, unless some benefits are given that move him, perhaps a way forward can be discussed.
In the building, the two people were standing opposite each other and for some period of salience the leader said, ” Okay then, I’ll buy you time, just make sure that you keep your world provides satisfactory results.”
The woman, on the other hand, waved her hands in dismissal saying, “Do we have a choice?”
Indeed, their current situation was not good for them at all. In a way, they had no choice but to find a way to survive so all the other issues become insignificant.
She had given them hope to prevent the situation from becoming chaotic, this was also the reason the leader didn’t raise some questions out in the open.
He was very pleased with what the middle-aged woman said.
It had the desired effect and after confirming, she had a way but required more time, he was slightly relieved.
Their current situation is indeed very bad, compared to back them when they came to this planet.
At that time they could see some vegetation but now everything is covered in ice.
Without their means, it would have been very difficult to survive up to now and thus the group couldn’t think of any way other than leaving this place.
“Back then when we came to this place we had some advantages, even cultivation levels of some people that had been stuck to a step forward, but in the end, we didn’t focus on the important foundation. Now, all we can do is try to survive in this crazy world first. After all, you of all people should be aware that entering other regions might not be very beneficial to us. After all, in this world, our strength is not worth much compared to those behemoths.” The leader Mojin sighed.
He had seen a lot, as when they arrived some of their groups with even better strength and potential thought this was their time to shine but in the end, died for it.
Unlike Wang that likes to play a low key, that attacked when they arrived and realized it was a big pit.
How could races that survived the ancient war be something they could deal with?
Even the environment in this world was enough to cause trouble for them.
They lack the formation skills of Wang and thus difficult to deal with their predicament, by leaving?
In the region Wang is located, he realized it was not extremely cold in winter, he could already guess something was abnormal until he managed to see two suns, in the sky.
In a way, their current geographical territory is very suitable, but he didn’t understand why no one dared to come to this place leaving it, unoccupied.
He didn’t believe in things such as taboos, that was just overrated.
To the same extent, if the group wanted him to help them come to his territory it might not be easy.
And at that moment, he was also standing alone on a huge tree looking into the distance.
