Mo Qiong sighed. "Why are you so afraid of the Empress..."
Chimu said gloomily, "Because she's too powerful... When the Fifth Generation President convinced her in '99, she was already invincible. No matter where you sent her, she would always return. No matter how you destroyed her, she would always revive in an even stronger form. During the final stage of that war, the Empress once banned the laws that allowed every species except the Insectoids to reproduce."
"During that dark era, no new life other than the Insectoids was allowed to be born anywhere in the entire universe."
"Pay attention: she didn't ban the ability to reproduce. In other words, all animals, including humans, could still give birth, but any child conceived by any living creature would instantly become a lump of organic matter with no meaning of life."
"Understand? When the Empress shows her power, it doesn't matter how strong you are. Killing or sealing her isn't enough. To defeat the Empress, you can only use appeasement... Even now, I still don't know what the Fifth Generation President actually said to her."
Mo Qiong was stunned. There was no doubt that life could reproduce because the natural laws of the universe permitted it.
That law... had been banned?
She had cut off the source. Against an enemy like that, unless one possessed the same ability to alter the laws, force was meaningless. Even fighting her—even killing her—would cause all life in the universe to be buried with her.
"Isn't there the Spirit Island? How can you not know what the Fifth Generation President said in the end?" Mo Qiong asked.
Chimu frowned. "That's the strangest part... Spirit Island couldn't erect a tomb for the Fifth Generation President."
Mo Qiong said in astonishment, "Could he still be alive?"
"No.
