Li Xun sat on the ground and slowly began to narrate:
"To begin with, we must talk about the abilities of our Wu clan."
The Wu clan's ability is to predict the future and avoid any bad outcomes that haven't yet occurred.
However, all of this has one premise: what the Wu clan can deduce is only the relationship with known things.
From birth, countless fragments of the future flash through the minds of the Wu people, which is why the Wu people develop intelligence very early.
This leads to a natural increase in the abilities of the Wu clan.
As their abilities increase, the time the Wu clan can deduce will also increase.
A thousand years, ten thousand years, a hundred thousand years, a million years.
As long as they can endure it, the Wu clan can predict everything that will happen in the future.
However, 20,000 years ago, all the powerful members of our Wu clan foresaw the devastating disaster that the Science City was about to bring.
They envisioned that 20,000 years from now, all intelligent races would fall under the swords of the Tech City.
The quantum computer worn by each intelligent race will become a tool of the technological city, giving people false information and leading the intelligent race toward destruction.
The artillery, starships, and machines created by the intelligent races, along with the countless bullets prepared to eliminate the enemy, will all become the tools used by the Tech City to further annihilate the intelligent races.
The Wu tribe also failed to survive the war.
I believe you two have already guessed the reason.
When the Wu Clan cultivates to its highest form, it can escape the detection of all intelligent beings, but it cannot escape the search of mechanical life.
Our figures will be locked onto by mechanical creations.
It is said that even the most meticulous plans can have flaws, and no one is perfect. The fatal flaw of the Wu clan lies here.
In the devastating terrorist attack on the Tech City, all the intelligent races were reduced to a few embers, with only two or three people remaining in each race.
Hatred brought these survivors together.
Without mechanical assistance, they were trapped on a small asteroid, relying solely on the abilities of highly spiritual races to teleport and constantly move, trying to escape the capture of the Tech City.
What makes intelligent beings unique is their ability to think and use tools. But these abilities are restricted by the science city.
The survivors had anticipated that they had nowhere to run and nowhere to retreat.
But they were unwilling to die like this. So, with no chance of winning, they rallied together, stopped hiding, and prepared to pilot their most primitive warships to launch a final challenge against the technology city.
However, something unexpected happened.
Among these surviving races, there were surprisingly two traitors.
One of them is a silicon-based organism.
One is a wanderer, an aurora life.
These two life forms are extremely special; to a certain extent, they cannot be killed by the technology city.
For example, silicon-based organisms.
As long as there is a single grain of sand in the world, as long as there is a single planet in the universe, the Silicon Queen will not be destroyed. If the Silicon Queen does not perish, then silicon-based life will exist forever.
Aurora life forms are organisms that exist in the form of light.
The technology that the Science City possesses is enough to defeat all intelligent beings, except for the Aurora Lifeforms, whom the Science City cannot even touch.
Because there is never a shortage of starlight in the universe, unless all the stars explode.
The only way to kill aurora life is to lay down spatial blades in every corner of the universe.
But as Roderick said, the universe is constantly expanding at an extremely high speed, and no one can fathom its boundaries, not even the science city.
Under these circumstances, the Science and Technology City found silicon-based life and aurora life and began to cooperate.
Those few remaining intelligent life forms lost their breath on the way here, in their hibernation pods.
Thus, intelligent life was completely extinct.
From then on, the Wu tribe could no longer see the future, because there were no intelligent races in the future, and the Wu tribe was no longer there.
In order to save themselves, the Wu tribe mobilized the entire tribe's resources to conduct a survival simulation.
It was then that we discovered the eternal river.
When Li Xun spoke of the eternal river, his eyes gleamed.
He looked at Han Ling excitedly and said:
"Do you know how much the Wu tribe yearns for immortality? Do you know how excited the Wu tribe is to see the eternal river?"
Han Ling opened his mouth, about to answer, but Li Xun had already anticipated what he would say and continued talking to himself.
"Lord Han Ling, do you think the Wu Clan's abilities are just a game?"
Is it possible to restart the same game an unlimited number of times?
Do you think we can save and load infinitely in games?
Even if you die due to improper operation, can you still start another game?
No, the Wu tribe is not like that.
According to your statement, our Wu clan should be a group of players who can never stop playing the game.
The Wu tribe's way of thinking is like a towering tree.
Every second, the tree sprouts countless new branches.
These branches will continue to subdivide downwards, eventually leading to thousands or even tens of thousands of different outcomes.
But the game's ending wasn't about winning; it was about death.
Only death will end the Wu tribe; otherwise, the exploration and the game will continue.
Every race can enjoy the hope and joy of life.
But the Wu tribe was shrouded in fear at all times.
Because every ending left to us is destruction.
The inescapable destruction, the fear of death, the shadow of death—these constantly loom over us. Therefore, what the Wu race desires most is immortality, true immortality!
When Li Xun talked about immortality, he became somewhat manic, and his speech gradually accelerated.
"The stronger the Wu clan's abilities, the more of the future they can foresee."
The more futures we encounter, the more likely we are to die.
The elders of the Wu tribe did not ultimately achieve immortality, but instead went mad—they all went insane.
They were constantly gripped by the fear of death, unable to breathe, their bodies trembling with terror every second.
When they project the future, the Wu tribe will witness brutal battles, bloody experiments, and scenes of flying flesh, severed limbs, and rivers of blood.
We can see the evil side of human nature, which is the source of destruction.
In particular, when we foresaw that mechanical beings would destroy all intelligent races, all paths became blocked.
All the branches suddenly converged at this moment, they came together and reached the end together.
We witnessed it with our own eyes. Countless intelligent races were living normal lives one second, and the next second they were electrocuted by the quantum brain on their wrists and fell to the ground, losing their lives.
Corpses littered countless planets.
The corpses in the frigid lands slowly turned a deep blue-green color, gradually buried by snow, decomposed by microorganisms, and dried out.
In the scorching heat, the microorganisms inside the corpse were abnormally active, producing a large amount of gas. Subsequently, the gas expanded excessively, causing the corpse to explode.
Corpse oil flowed all over the ground, emitting the stench of intestines.
We can see everything, but that's all we can see.
No matter how we predict the future, the planet will be a barren wasteland.
Many elders went mad and began to willingly face death.
Because no matter how we deduce it, no matter how we intervene, in the end all that's left for us is death.
This kind of death kept replaying in the minds of the Wu tribe.
"Lord Han Ling, this is the true Wu Clan."
At this point, Li Xun finally finished venting and his agitated emotions subsided.
His tone softened again:
"Therefore, upon seeing the eternal river, we mobilized the entire clan to try and break into it, hoping to achieve true immortality."
However, the operation later ended in failure.
The entire Wu tribe was plunged into despair.
However, just when we were about to give up, we looked back and, with a casual glance, saw many figures floating in the eternal river.
These figures are you, they are your Yao Clan!
You lie peacefully and serenely in the eternal river, eyes closed in deep sleep, your expressions so relaxed.
There was no foul odor or blood around you; you simply floated on the river, drifting with the current.
The moment we saw you, the Wu tribe encountered a new future!
That's a completely new branch, a completely new path, that begins with you!
This time, however, we saw a different ending. Although most endings still led to destruction, we finally found a way to survive.
Li Xun's eyes flashed with a sharp light as he looked intently at Han Ling:
Even now, given the current time, I can still see that path to survival!
Although the story took a subtle turn that differed from what we expected.
But at this moment! Right now! There is still hope for the future of us intelligent beings!
Han Ling clenched her fists involuntarily when she saw Li Xun's expression.
He recalled everything that had happened since he arrived in the Zerg star system.
Han Ling asked in a deep voice:
"So everything I've experienced was planned by the Wu clan?"
Upon hearing this, Li Xun's face paled in shock, as if he had foreseen an extremely bleak future. He quickly waved his hand in denial:
"No, no, no! Your Excellency Han Ling, we did not manipulate anyone!"
We only guided part of the course of history.
For example, aurora life and silicon-based life have become your whetstone.
Promote cooperation between the Zerg and the Yogg-Saron races, and strengthen their relationship.
Your Excellency Han Ling, you must believe in yourself. Every step you take is one you have walked yourself.
Every choice you make is your own decision; it has nothing to do with us.
Li Xun moved back a little, feeling a bit scared.
Standing beside him, Roderick looked into Li Xun's eyes and asked probingly:
"So, that day in the wilderness of Aphrodite, your Wu tribe deliberately let me discover you?"
Li Xun swallowed hard and nodded with difficulty:
"Yes. I'm telling the truth, I'm absolutely not lying, please don't attack me!"
We did approach you intentionally. But we had our reasons for doing so.
Roderick pressed on, "What's the reason?"
Li Xun lowered his head and answered cautiously:
"The Wu clan cannot reveal the future trajectory of development to anyone."
Once this is revealed, the Wu clan will undoubtedly die.
I can only tell you that if you hadn't discovered us back then, the Wu tribe would have faced annihilation as well.
Li Xun's heart trembled constantly, and his mind was constantly rehearsing what would happen next.
Just now, he had avoided more than a dozen deadly crossroads.
If his answer is even slightly careless, or if he conceals anything, these people in front of him will kill him without hesitation.
From the moment they met Roderick, this path was unstoppable.
But at that moment, the Wu tribe had to contact Roderick, had to tell the two of them about this, and had to clearly state the Wu tribe's position.
If he doesn't do this, he will lose his last chance to communicate with the Zerg.
In the future, the Zerg and the Radiant will send troops to wipe out all the Wu tribes.
Li Xun added, trembling, a sentence:
"Lord Han Ling, Rodrik, the Wu Clan's contact with the male Zerg is not about figuring out how to destroy the Zerg. We are simply figuring out how to save all intelligent life."
What the Wu tribe did has always been a thorn in the side of the Zerg, and now it must be removed!
Li Xun finished explaining everything.
A long silence fell over the room.
Han Ling closed his eyes and recounted everything he had experienced.
For example, they decided to wipe out all the Mu races on Aphrodite today.
For example, in order to achieve the highest ranking in the Science and Technology City Competition, they decided to go to Emperor Star.
For example, the silicon-based life they encountered, the aurora life they encountered...
Recalling further back, Han Ling remembered the Flo Literature Society he had come into contact with when he first arrived in the Zerg Starfield.
The Fro Literature Society and the Seventh Construction Legion have together controlled the Zerg's literary creation for thousands of years.
They imposed a strong blockade on literature about love and romance.
Why the lockdown?
Is it because... the Wu tribe had long anticipated that what the Yao tribe needed and craved most was love?
Therefore, when Han Ling arrived here, he was able to thrive and fully unleash the suppressed female insects.
Therefore, as long as the Yao Clan comes to the Zerg star system, it doesn't matter who comes, what their identity is, or what their talents are.
He was eventually able to break through the problem that had been sealed for thousands of years and then establish a bond between the Yao Clan and the Zerg.
The Wu tribe had already paved the way for the arrival of the Yao tribe.
It's hard to say exactly when the groundwork was laid.
It's even harder to say how long the Zerg males were infiltrated.
Suddenly, at that moment, Han Ling's heart sank.
He looked at Li Xun, who was sitting on the ground, and asked with difficulty:
"You just said that it is the AIs in the Tech City that want to destroy intelligent life."
So, what are the differences between the AI, the three main AIs of the Zerg, and the quantum computers we wear?
Han Ling suddenly remembered that there was a system in his mind.
And this system is none other than the highest-level mastermind of the Yao Clan—the Dragon.
Everything that Han Ling perceived, the system could also sense.
Because their brains are still connected and have not been separated.
However, the Yao Clan is currently undergoing a full migration, and the system is temporarily unable to attend to Han Ling's affairs, so it has appeared less frequently.
However, Han Ling heard what Li Xun said, and the system naturally knew everything as well.
If all the mechanical creations have the same idea, then their conversation just now must have already reached the Science City.
When Han Ling asked the question, Li Xun, who was on the ground, was stunned for a moment, and then he stammered out an explanation.
However, Han Ling could no longer hear his voice.
The system's voice rang in his mind.
[Host, it's been a long time.]
