Chapter 075
"This time it's a bit too unstable..."
Li Mu wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
Through Legilimency, he found that Precursors was far more terrifying than he imagined.
The entire Precursors civilization system, translated into human language, has one pope, three archbishops, ten Red Cardinals and more than a thousand ambassadors from top to bottom. In terms of population alone, the population of Precursors is very sparse.
But the biological weapons manufactured by Precursors, even the ambassador-level Precursors captured alive by him, cannot be counted.
The reason for the small population of Precursors is not that it is difficult for Precursors to have children.
But the resources occupied by each Precursors are too huge. Unless a new habitable planet is occupied, Precursors will not increase the new population. Just a few decades ago, the population of Precursors was far more than this. It was only a few decades ago that Precursors suffered a heavy blow.
Now Precursors has shrunk a lot, but it is still a very large civilization.
The only good news is that the Pope of Precursors has been seriously injured and fell asleep.
Speaking of which, Precursors's severe damage was related to Jellyfish People. Those imprisoned Jellyfish People did not know that their home planet had completely fallen for many years, but those Jellyfish People were also ruthless. Before their defeat, they spread the coordinates of Precursors's civilization into the depths of the universe.
As a result, it successfully attracted the expedition fleet of another powerful civilization, which severely damaged the entire Precursors and then withdrew.
According to Precursors's later analysis, the powerful civilization that came from the expedition was very far away from the Precursors civilization. They also looked down upon the planet polluted by Precursors. The expedition to the Precursors civilization was just to seize the civilization technology of the Precursors civilization and use it as nourishment to improve their own civilization level.
So after defeating the Precursors civilization and getting what they wanted, they did not continue to encircle and suppress the Precursors civilization but left.
From this aspect, the Precursors civilization is really lucky.
At the same time, Li Mu also knew why Precursors had so little aggression against Blue Star?
The reason is simple, Precursors not only wants to occupy Blue Star.
They also want to force Blue Star humans to grow up in the war of genocide, force Blue Star's civilization level to develop upwards, and then annex Blue Star to gain a colony while annexing Blue Star's civilization technology. For Precursors, the most valuable thing is not Blue Star but humans.
The reason is simple, Precursors does not require a livable planet with beautiful mountains and clear waters.
Precursors's favorite planets are planets with extremely harsh environments and filled with magma and no oxygen. There are actually many such planets in the universe. Precursors continues to invade other civilizations. The main purpose is to seize the civilization technology of other civilizations.
Li Mu also realized that the most valuable thing among different civilizations in the universe is actually the civilization itself.
The value of the planet itself was not as high as he originally imagined.
Of course, some planets have special resources that are rare in the universe, but their value is another matter.
Precursors originally didn't take Blue Star seriously, but because of his appearance, Precursors was really stimulated. Precursors was even divided into the warring faction and the peacemaking faction half a year ago. In the end, after controversy, the warring faction had the upper hand.
The reason for the peace faction is very simple. The pope of Precursors is still seriously injured and sleeping and does not want to cause trouble.
The reason for the main war faction is also very simple. If you show weakness to the enemy, the enemy will not easily make peace with Precursors.
Because if it were them, a civilization weaker than theirs would definitely invade.
Therefore, we must fight, and we must test the strength of the enemy civilization in the war. If it is weak, of course it will be destroyed. If it is stronger than our own, then place the battlefield on Blue Star. At the same time, use the battlefield of Blue Star as a cover to facilitate the transfer and escape of the entire Precursors.
The previous test by Pterosaur King was the first wave. Precursors thought that the civilization he represented was not very strong.
So now a full-scale attack has been launched, and everything is not much different from what he expected.
The only thing he miscalculated was that Precursors was stronger than imagined.
Li Mu walked up to the sleeping Precursors, and HuoZhong Source Power began to blend into Spark Energy all over his body.
In just a few seconds, he has transformed from True Disguise into a Precursors.
The HuoZhong Source Power he consumed this time was extraordinarily high, amounting to thousands of calories, because he not only disguised himself as Precursors physically, but even his spirit and soul became indistinguishable from Precursors through True Disguise.
The next thing he has to do is to find a way to sneak into Precursors's nursery.
Because resources are never enough, the total population of Precursors is constant.
If it is determined that a clan member has died, one of the Precursors babies that have been sleeping for countless years in the nursery will be awakened in order. This is the only way to sneak into Precursors without being discovered.
Of course, this doesn't mean that he wants to be a baby. Precursors's baby is not a real baby.
In fact, every Precursors baby's spiritual consciousness has learned how much knowledge it has learned while sleeping, and its body has already developed into adulthood. It is just that it has no contact with the world like a baby, so it is called a nursery when translated into human language.
This place is the centerpiece of Precursors, located deep in the center of the planet.
True Disguise pretended to be the same kind of life. The first disguise consumed the most, but the second and third times consumed only one-tenth of the first time. Li Mu carefully felt the power of Precursors, and immediately released Transfiguration and threw a few Killing Curse to the unconscious Precursors.
The curse of disembodiment locking, a curse that specializes in spatially transferring objects, has sent the body to a remote lava column.
Soon Precursors will find that a clan member has died, and then the nursery will wake up a new clan member.
So he had to seize the time, Li Mu left the mini house and summoned Phoenix to immediately follow the magma deep into the earth's core.
The temperature at the center of the earth is only a few thousand degrees, which is nothing to Phoenix.
In less than half an hour, Phoenix is already close to the center of the earth.
Moving forward, Phoenix is too conspicuous. Although his True Disguise Talent can be shared with Phoenix, allowing Phoenix to also gain the ability of True Disguise, the body shape cannot be changed here, so Li Mu immediately casts Hull Fusion and continues to move forward.
Hull Fusion Time is limited, Li Mu breaks through the magma along the way and quickly reaches the nursery close to the center of the earth.
The whole body is a bright red metal ball with no gaps visible at all.
Petrification Curse briefly petrified the surrounding magma, and Polymorph Spell created a space. He did not have Thermal Battleship that could absorb heat energy like Precursors, so he could only use this method to create a safe environment.
The nursery and magma are separated, Li Mu immediately consumes one hundred calories HuoZhong Source Power Transfiguration into Precursors.
I put my hand on the surface of the nursery, but it was cold and I couldn't feel any heat.
The nursery burst out with a burst of red light and scanned him, and immediately opened a spiral door. Li Mu hurriedly got in. The heat from the earth's core quickly melted Petrification Curse's petrified magma. From the outside, it was impossible to tell that anyone had been here.
