When it came to hidden threats, the wisest course was to nip them in the bud, even if it implicated some innocents.
Kesha's Fall more than seventeen thousand years later was inextricably linked to Lieyang's Light of the Sun. This was the only clue Hua Zhen had obtained regarding Kesha's Fall in that Void Space.
Moreover, Light of the Sun was a little girl in her twenties. Though it sounded absurd, it had to be treated with caution.
As mentioned before, the Heavenly Dao Tower was the crystallization of Lieyang Civilization's technology. It was likewise a Celestial-Level Computing Cloud, installed on Lieyang's Main Star. Nearly all of Lieyang's stellar-driving technologies had their main control terminals in the Heavenly Dao Tower. Although it could not compare to Kiran's Great Clock or Hua Zhen's Tiangong Cloud Group, its computing power was still not to be underestimated.
If the Heavenly Dao Tower were sealed, the blow to Lieyang Civilization—even the entire Heavenly Dao Star System—would be devastating.
It would not only pull out Lieyang's sharpest fangs; more importantly, it would cut off the lifeline of all Lieyang. Without the Heavenly Dao Tower's auxiliary calculations, they could not drive the stars within the Heavenly Dao Star System. In that case, stellar disasters could not be effectively contained, and everything would return to how it had been in the beginning.
From start to finish, Di Hongkun had thought Hua Zhen had come to demand technology. What he never expected was that Hua Zhen not only demanded it, but also intended to seal the Heavenly Dao Tower regardless of the lives of the countless beings in the Heavenly Dao Star System.
His actions could no longer simply be described as ruthless.
When Hua Zhen uttered those icy words, Di Hongkun stared at him in utter disbelief.
