Chapter 495

"In the Primordial Age, there were no humans, only some powerful primordial creatures. Until the end of the Cycle of Reincarnation, most of the primordial creatures went extinct in the Cycle of Reincarnation, especially the powerful ones. They were the most affected by the Cycle of Reincarnation, causing only a few weak creatures to survive in the end.

"With the birth of new species, the Cosmic Sea ushered in the Primordial Age. Humans were also a new species born in this age. They had bodies as strong as other primordial creatures, and they also had intelligence that other creatures didn't have. Therefore, humans rose in this age and became the overlord of the entire Cosmic Sea.

"The humans of the Primordial Age were actually the ancestors of modern humans, but they were also very different from modern humans. Most of the living beings in the Primordial Age were made of flesh and blood. They were born with powerful flesh and blood energy, and humans were no exception. As a result, all the living beings of this age were especially huge. Living beings as huge as mountains could be seen everywhere, and some terrifying beings were even bigger than some stars. This was also why the Giant Astral Beasts of the Primordial Age were so huge.

"Of course, although the humans of the Primordial Age were the overlords of the Cosmic Sea and even ruled the entire Cosmic Sea for several eras, with the rise of new species and the invasion of foreign species, the monopolization of the resources of the entire Cosmic Sea also caused the other species to resist. Some powerful species joined forces to fight against the humans for resources. The Primordial Battlefield was the place where the ancient humans fought for resources with other species.

"The cultivation levels of ancient humans were also different from how they are now. From low to high, they were Dark Iron, Bronze, Silver, Gold, and Platinum … The cultivation levels corresponding to Dark Iron are the lesser deities of today, Bronze are the intermediate deities, and so on and so forth."

"However, this was only the cultivation levels. In fact, the combat strength of the ancient humans was much stronger than that of modern humans. Even the most ordinary human, who was said to be at the Dark Iron level, actually had combat strength that was at least one major rank higher and was comparable to an intermediate deity. As for the genius-level warriors, their combat strength was at least two major ranks higher, and some monsters with powerful bloodlines even had combat strength that was three major ranks higher, comparable to the combat strength of an extreme deity.

"That's not the scariest part. The scariest part is that ancient humans were born with Dark Iron cultivation. Therefore, even though there were differences in battle prowess due to the difference in the strength of their bloodlines, the weakest among them was still born with intermediate deity-level battle prowess. Of course, having this kind of battle prowess did not mean that one had the ability to do so. Therefore, ancient humans usually started cultivating after the age of three to learn to control their own strength. Generally, by the age of twelve, they can basically display their full combat strength. "

"There are some geniuses who not only mastered their own combat power before the age of 12, they can even break through to the Bronze Level. The other bloodlines were not bad. Basically, they could break through to the Bronze rank at the age of 16. After the coming of age ceremony at the age of 16, those with a cultivation base of Bronze Rank and above would become warriors and participate in the conquest of foreign races. Even the weakest Bronze-level Warrior is comparable to a Higher Deity powerhouse now. This is also the reason why ancient humans were strong and prosperous. "

"…"

As Gu Ding and the others were taken by the Federal Government's spaceship to the entrance of the ruins, Neptune was teaching Gu Ding and the others some general knowledge about ancient times.

Since the civilization of an era was almost completely destroyed by the Great Reincarnation Calamity after every Reincarnation, most of the knowledge that humans had about other eras was obtained from some broken ruins. Therefore, the knowledge of each era was actually incomplete. The older the era, the more lacking the level of knowledge. Although some of the things that Neptune said were general knowledge, the content was fragmented on Skynet. It was not as systematic and complete as Neptune's. Even Mi Ke, who had studied a lot of civilian information on Skynet, felt that it was an eye-opener.

With the spaceship's Space Jump, it took them less than half an hour to reach their destination. Neptune also stopped his' lesson 'and turned to observe the situation outside the spaceship.

Outside the spaceship, two human powerhouses stood proudly in the void. Neptune could clearly recognize them. One of them was the current Deputy Chief of the Federal Government, Harold, and the other was the Army's Supreme Marshal, Balthaze.

As the Deputy Chief, Harold's exposure on Skynet was very high. Even if Gu Ding and the others saw him, they should be able to recognize him at a glance.

His looks were not very outstanding. He was of medium height, had a thin body, looked to be in his fifties, and had obvious wrinkles on his face. His facial features were also very average. If 10 was the full score, he would only score about 5.5, which was not even a passing grade. However, it was such an unprepossessing person who was able to sit in the Deputy Chief's position for nearly three hundred thousand years. This made people not dare to doubt his ability.

The other person, Balthaze, was completely different. He was tall, his facial lines were firm, and his facial features were at least 9.5 out of 10. Even though his beard and hair were already white, his charm did not diminish at all. Instead, he exuded the unique maturity of an old man. The most special thing about him was his pair of eyes. They were as sharp as an eagle's, and no one dared to look him in the eye. The wide white cloak behind him made his entire aura seem even more powerful and unstoppable.

Balthaze was the supreme commander of the military. In reality, there was very little information about him on Skynet. Neptune certainly knew what he looked like. Of course, Neptune knew what he looked like, but if it were Gu Ding and the other thousand people on the spaceship, not a single one of them would be able to recognize him. Even the few members of TOP0 who had not been eliminated would not have the authority to come into contact with him.

With just one look, Neptune could tell that even if these two people had not reached true god-level cultivation, their abilities were definitely stronger than the Faust family's old butler, and not just by a little. He could not help but sigh to himself. "The Federal Government really is a crouching tiger and hidden dragon!"

In front of the two stood a young man who looked to be in his twenties. The young man wore a black robe and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised. His blood-red waist-length hair fluttered even though there was no wind, and his black eyes were like a terrifying bottomless abyss. He stuck out his tongue and licked his scarlet upper lip, then smiled. "That old man Abel didn't come?"

"Night Goddess, if you want to fight, I alone am enough to keep you company." Not only did Balthaze not answer his question, but he also blocked the other person's next words with a single sentence. His tone was indifferent, as if to say, "Cut the crap, I'll keep you company if you want to fight."

"Hehe, that cloak of yours is quite impressive. When we get back, I'll get a tailor to sew a few pieces of human skin." Night Goddess did not seem to mind at all as he taunted.

Balthaze ignored him and slowly closed his eyes, as if he was resting.

Night Goddess felt bored, and his gaze landed on Harold again. "Hey, old man, what's your name again?"

He asked this question with a tone of humiliation, and also because he really did not know Harold's name. Although he knew that the other party was the deputy leader of the humans, he had never paid attention. This was because Harold's appearance was indeed the kind that people would easily forget in a crowd.

Harold merely glanced at the Night God and did not reply.

"How boring. Are all of you mute?" Night Goddess was a little annoyed. The reason why he was so bored was because his faction's spaceship had not arrived yet. In the void, he was the only one on his side. "If I'd known this would happen, I would've called Yuna and the rest over. We could've taken advantage of this time to have some fun."

Yuna was Night Goddess's most beloved woman. His low voice also reached Harold and Balthaze's ears, causing them to frown slightly.

Logically speaking, there was no medium for voice transmission in this vacuum. However, at Night Goddess's level, he could even tear through vacuum and transmit his voice through vibration, so communication was not affected.

Just as Night God was muttering to himself, a spaceship finally appeared behind him. It was a black spaceship that approached from afar and then came to a stop not far behind Night God.

"Alright, our spaceship has arrived. Can we open the entrance and let these children in?" Night Goddess turned to look at the spaceship behind him, then spoke to the two people in front of him.

Balthaze and Harold looked at each other, then nodded.

Harold's body flashed, and he appeared not far away. His hands began to quickly form complicated seals. Balthaze's gaze did not look at Harold. Instead, it lingered on Night Goddess. He was obviously much more vigilant than before. He was worried that Night Goddess would take the opportunity to launch a sneak attack. Although the probability of this happening was not high, it was still necessary to be on guard.

Night Goddess naturally knew why Balthaze was staring at him. He yawned, then smiled and said, "Is there a need to look at me like that? If it was that old guy Abel, I might've made a move. But this guy, I don't even know his name. His position is at most a deputy leader. I'm the king of the Dark Generation. He doesn't have the right for me to launch a sneak attack. "

Even though Night Goddess had said this, Balthaze did not let his guard down.

"Hey, hey, is there a need for such an attitude? Our two races have developed this ruin together. We can be considered allies, right? 'You should treat your allies with the warm attitude of a spring breeze'. This seems to be something you humans read in primary school textbooks … "Night Goddess continued to bombard Balthaze with words.

Balthaze cursed in his heart, 'Ally my foot. If any of my subordinates were as noisy as you, I would've sent them flying with one slap!'

On the other side, Harold had finally finished forming all his seals. Less than a hundred meters in front of him, the empty void began to slowly tear open.

The crack began to expand rapidly. In just a few seconds, it tore open a huge hole that was nearly ten meters tall and five meters wide. The hole quickly turned from pitch-black to shooting out white light. Soon, it formed a white door of light.

"Since the passageway was opened by you, your people can enter first." The corner of Night Goddess's mouth curled up, and she said politely.

However, Harold and Balthaze knew that Night Goddess was afraid that they would tamper with the passageway, so she was being modest.

"If that's the case, we won't stand on ceremony," Harold said. With a command, the door of the spaceship immediately opened. Gu Ding and the rest were covered in a layer of translucent bubbles, which wrapped around them, and they flew toward the light door.

"Go in, little ones!" Seeing that all the demigods from the Human Faction had entered, Night Goddess gave the command. Bubbles quickly surged out from the spaceship behind him, and they all rushed toward the light door.
