"What?! Planetary impact? What do you mean?" Zhou Zhilu exclaimed in shock.
"Don't you know? According to my calculations, it should have suffered at least two planetary impacts in the past hundreds of thousands of years." The old man frowned and said.
"Wait! How is this possible? If there was a planetary impact, wouldn't the people here have been extinct long ago..."
At this point, Zhou Zhilu was suddenly stunned, then suddenly realized, "Could it be that... the apocalyptic crisis recorded in ancient times... refers to a planetary impact?! And the way people avoided the crisis was to hide in the underground world you built... that hell?!"
"What hell?" the old man asked in confusion.
Zhou Zhilu told the old man what he had seen of hell, as well as the legend of the evil demon.
"Evil demon? How is that possible? The birth of any kind of life is extremely harsh. Without the blessing of external forces, how could an evil demon that can fight against so many races be born hundreds of years after the planetary collision? This is absolutely impossible!" The old man said decisively after hearing this.
Then he frowned and said, "There's no record of planetary impacts in the history you know? Perhaps... I'm right. There really are traitors among these races!"
The old man stared at Zhou Zhilu and said slowly, "Although you and I can no longer be considered the same person, we do share the same origin. Something has happened, and my years of hard work have ultimately been wasted. Now that I've been awakened, I don't think I'll survive much longer, so you must listen carefully to what I'm about to say!
"When I fell into this world, I tried various methods to replenish the energy of my spaceship, but the effects were minimal. Finally, I came up with an idea. I wanted to engrave a starry sky formation on the earth to attract meteorites from space to fall to the ground. I could use this formation to absorb the kinetic energy of the falling meteorites and convert it into energy for my spaceship.
"It did work, but it was still far from enough, so I increased the power of the formation. Over the years, I traveled all over the world and carved countless formations. Finally, according to my calculations, the formation successfully attracted a large planet. The impact force was not enough to destroy the planet, but the energy it brought was enough for my spacecraft to carry out long-distance dimensional migration.
"But you know the final result. I didn't live long enough to reach this planet, so I finally planned to reincarnate. But now it seems... there should be no problem with the spaceship's settings, but the energy that was supposed to allow me to reincarnate has disappeared for some unknown reason.
"That's why it took hundreds of thousands of years for the spaceship to accumulate enough energy to allow my soul to reincarnate. The time error prevented me from reincarnating into this world, but into your dimension instead...
"The underground world turned into hell... the legend of the evil demon... I guess it's very likely that some race rebelled and stole my energy, leading to a war between the races and turning the underground world into hell!
"However... there is no record of this in your history. I... am somewhat suspicious that the human race is the traitorous race."
The old man's sinister words made Zhou Zhilu's heart skip a beat.
Fortunately, the other party said, "Haha, it doesn't matter. Everything is illusory... But the awakening of the key means that another planet has been attracted here?"
Zhou Zhilu remembered the crisis that the Right Prime Minister had mentioned a hundred years from now. He swallowed hard and said hoarsely, "Maybe it will happen a hundred years from now."
The old man smiled when he heard this: "If someone really stole the energy of my spaceship back then, even though hundreds of thousands of years have passed, he... might not be dead...
"A hundred years...is simply not enough to change the trajectory of this planet, unless a powerful being of planetary power is born on this planet. However, the cultivation seeds I planted back then simply can't support everyone reaching that level. Therefore, you can only escape this crisis by hiding in the underground world again."
When he said this, the old man's body suddenly began to become a little illusory. Seeing this, the old man's face changed and he said anxiously:
"My spaceship... is hidden in the center of the underground world. I hope you can find its location, not only for me. The four keys are not only the keys to the underground world, but also the keys to the spaceship, so you must collect them sooner or later!
"If you really find it... huh... If you want to visit our former homeland, use the spaceship to contact the home planet. If not, use the key to start the spaceship and let it automatically return... Send my body back.
"OK?"
The old man's figure was about to disappear. He looked at Zhou Zhilu with sincere eyes. Zhou Zhilu replied, "I will do my best."
Upon hearing this, the old man suddenly burst into laughter: "Hahahahahaha, in the end it's all in vain, I lost after all, lost..."
As soon as he finished speaking, the old man's figure disappeared, and only Zhou Zhilu was left in this space.
Zhou Zhilu stood there, unable to recover for a long time. In this short period of time, he had received too much shocking news.
At this moment, the voice of the Right Prime Minister suddenly sounded in the white soul space.
"Zhou Zhilu... wake up."
The white space in front of him suddenly disappeared. Zhou Zhilu sat up abruptly and opened his eyes again, but what he saw was the scene inside the Fuyesi Jiantian Tower.
"Right Prime Minister..." Zhou Zhilu looked at the Right Prime Minister beside him blankly. At this moment, he felt his brain was in a state of chaos, as if he had just woken up from a deep sleep.
The right prime minister frowned and looked over. He waved his hand and a white light enveloped him. Zhou Zhilu felt a warmth all over his body and his brain immediately became clear.
"What exactly happened? What did you see?" asked the right prime minister with a frown.
Zhou Zhilu reacted, his eyes suddenly widened, and he looked at the right prime minister in an instant. He was about to say something but stopped abruptly.
Wait... Can the Right Prime Minister really be trusted... It should be possible. Apart from the Right Prime Minister, I have no one else I can rely on. But it may be better not to tell others that I am the reincarnation of the Father God.
"What's wrong with you?" The right prime minister asked again when he saw Zhou Zhilu's appearance.
"Ah, it's okay, sir. I...know some shocking secrets..."
Zhou Zhilu told the Right Prime Minister what he had seen and heard, including what the old man said, but he concealed his relationship with the Father God, saying that the residual soul of the Father God had been hidden in the key and had now happened to be awakened.
Even the Right Prime Minister could not turn back for a long time after hearing this information.
I saw him standing by the window, staring at the palace outside for a long time.
"So that's how it is... If the apocalyptic crisis is the collision of worlds, then the race that unlocked the key back then is the same race that stole the energy...
"How many keys do you have?"
Zhou Zhilu replied, "Two. The Martial Emperor said he's looking for the third one there. As for the fourth one, it should be with the demon tribe."
The right prime minister nodded, then turned around and looked, the sunlight outside the window shining on his back.
He just said calmly: "Maybe... it's time."
Zhou Zhilu was stunned and asked, "What?"
"It's time for Emperor Wen to step down!"
