The Spirit Descent was carried out ahead of schedule.
This is good news for Lu Li as well.
It just wasn't that appealing to him.
It was bound to happen sooner or later.
However, it was the second piece of news that Li Qingshan mentioned that truly captured Lu Li's attention.
"Could Comrade Azure Mountains elaborate a bit more?"
What secrets of the Blue Star's universe has the nation discovered?
Lu Li, unusually, asked a couple more questions.
Li Qingshan did not rush to answer.
Instead, he had his staff prepare a 3D holographic projector and place it next to the jade pendant.
"Comrade Lu Li, as usual, you take the projector."
"Let's watch and chat at the same time."
Upon hearing the sound, Lu Li immediately reached out and took the 3D holographic projector from the jade pendant.
Finger tap to switch.
The next second.
A vast, azure star map suddenly appeared within the main hall.
"Comrade Lu Li, what you are currently seeing is the observable universe, as well as the estimated possible universe."
"We haven't been to most of these areas, although the country has begun preparations for deep space exploration in the past two years."
"However, their progress is still limited to within the Milky Way Galaxy, and even just around the Solar System."
Li Qingshan's words echoed in sync with the changes in the star map.
The illusory images of stars drifted past Lu Li's eyes.
Some even had names labeled on them.
Uranus Neptune didn't seem particularly interesting to Lu Li.
Until a continent slowly floated in.
Yes, that's right, it's a continent.
A phantom image of a continent, countless times larger than the surrounding celestial bodies, slowly drifted over.
The mainland is supported by four pillars, and surrounded by an endless ocean.
There is something above the four pillars.
Those were layers of translucent, illusory continental shapes, seemingly divided into separate spaces.
There are thirty-three layers, from bottom to top.
It's not solid; it's just a phantom.
"Comrade Azure Mountains, this is..."
"Comrade Lu Li, don't worry."
Li Qingshan's voice continued to resound.
Less than three seconds.
Lu Li, who was initially somewhat confused, watched as all the celestial bodies in the endless star map suddenly converged.
It filled into the interior of those thirty-three illusory figures.
"Whoosh whoosh~!"
"Whoosh whoosh!"
The sound of something flying by echoed in my ears.
Before long, all the celestial bodies had entered.
There was no longer a single phantom image of a star map in the entire hall.
There is only one scaled-down version of the enormous map.
Beneath the thirty-three circular continents are four extremely thick pillars.
Below the four pillars lies a vast, almost square-shaped flat area.
"This is the mystery of the Blue Star's universe that we have glimpsed."
"Comrade Lu Li, what you are seeing now is very likely the original appearance of the Great Desolation World."
"Or perhaps, this is the Great Desolation of the Primordial Desolation era."
"And the universe now is very likely Great Desolation shattered into countless fragments."
Li Qingshan began to recount in detail the country's research findings over the past few days.
Ever since I learned that the Blue Star Universe is the Upper Realm, the Great Desolation.
Even after experiencing a huge crisis, and even after lurking crises.
The forces mobilized day and night Great Xia.
Try to find a way out and a glimmer of hope.
This includes, but is not limited to, building a virtual Great Desolation world map.
We searched through ancient folk books of the Great Xia Dynasty for all information and records related to the Primordial Desolation.
Ultimately, a map of the Great Desolation was successfully created.
"Comrade Lu Li, we once imagined that the Blue Star universe is incredibly vast."
"It even feels like it's larger than the legendary Primordial Desolation."
"However, after carefully examining the historical records, we found some supporting evidence that this was not the case."
"Both the Taoism Seven Slips from the Cloudy Satchel and the Huainanzi Classic of Mountains and Seas contain some records of this, and pieced together, it's roughly like this..."
The vast, untamed land Primordial Desolation for countless miles.
It is supported by a celestial pillar, surrounded by the four seas, and drained by the Ruins of Return.
Beyond the heavens lies the Thirty-Three Heavens, where the sun rises with the Golden Crow and the moon sets in the Vast Cold.
The sky was starless, with only the Milky Way flowing and encircling the Great Desolation.
Perhaps an ancient god perished, their eyes and spirits transforming into stars, wandering the Milky Way...
Li Qingshan's voice continued to resonate.
Over the next half hour, he summarized and reported everything that Great Xia had collected in the past few days.
This gave Lu Li a vague understanding of the true nature of the Great Desolation World.
Yes, this 3D projection is not just a rumor from Great Xia.
Instead, it was built by genuinely referencing classical texts.
And that's very likely the case.
This has resulted in the current state of the Blue Star universe and the Great Desolation Wilderness being completely different.
Therefore, the state made a bold guess.
The legendary, supreme Silent Ruins of the Silent Ruins caused a change in the face of the Great Desolation Wilderness.
This makes the Blue Star appear as a universe of stars.
In reality, it was nothing more than a world of ruins.
Theoretically speaking, such ruins are not worthy of another natural disaster like the Silent Ruins ruins.
In other words, as long as the Blue Star universe has not yet returned to the magnificent and splendid state of the Great Desolation Wilderness.
Blue Star is safe for now.
This is the true significance of the good news the country has brought.
This means that both the nation and Lu Li have plenty of time.
In the short term, there should be no need to worry about the arrival of the Silent Ruins.
"Is that so...? If that's the case, then that's good..."
Lu Li felt uncertain about the outcome.
The virtual Great Desolation built by the government is indeed magnificent.
According to the nation's theory, the current Blue Star universe is Great Desolation shattered into countless fragments.
Then they transformed into stars.
It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it ruins now.
But this is just speculation; it's difficult to be certain.
Furthermore...
"Comrade Azure Mountains, if we follow the country's speculation..."
"The universe created by Blue Star is composed of countless fragments of a shattered Great Desolation."
"It's impossible that civilization existed only on Blue Star; civilizations must have arisen in other parts of the universe as well."
"The country must pay attention to this."
Lu Li's concerns were not unfounded.
Especially now that Spiritual Qi is beginning to revive in the Blue Star universe.
No one can guarantee what might emerge from such a vast wasteland during this time.
If some kind of immortal or saint suddenly appears, it would be fine if they were more upright.
If it's some kind of evil god or immortal, then things are really bad.
Li Qingshan was also aware of the potential harm.
"Comrade Lu Li, your reminder already has contingency plans in place."
"In fact, the first deep-space fleet exercised extreme caution after setting sail."
"Ensure that Blue Star's coordinates are not revealed, and strive to explore resources to the maximum extent possible."
"According to our speculation, although the ruins of the Blue Star universe are the safest, other civilizations in the universe will not stop developing."
"This is a vicious cycle."
Li Qingshan only spoke halfway through his sentence, but Lu Li understood it perfectly.
To defend against or even fight against the Silent Ruins, the only option is to survive and develop.
But the Blue Star in its ruined state is clearly the safest.
However, there are clearly other civilizations in the Blue Star universe, and these other civilizations must have developed to a certain extent.
Not only might it attract the Silent Ruins, but it might also become a major enemy of Blue Star.
Therefore, Blue Star had no choice but to start developing as quickly as possible.
This vicious cycle cannot be broken from the inside.
The key to breaking this deadlock... lies with Lu Li!
Taking a deep breath, Li Qingshan announced a new national plan order.
"Comrade Lu Li, based on the national decision, we will provide support to you globally..."
"Additional cross-sectoral support for deep-space strategic materials!"
