Chapter 549: Chapter 444: How Could Any Living Creature Pull This Off?

Many people present know about Daoism, but they definitely don’t understand the culture of cultivation within it.

Fortunately, Qin Liang and Qin Yuyong are relatively devoted to Daoism, so they understand a bit about the related culture.

Qin Yuyong said, "I know a little, Mr. Lu, please continue?"

Lu Li nodded and said, "In the cultivation culture of Daoism, there is a term called ’Yang Spirit’. The Daoist scriptures describe the Yang Spirit as: ’When condensed, it forms a shape; when dispersed, it becomes air.’ My current state is somewhat similar to what Daoism describes as the Yang Spirit, also capable of consolidating into form and dispersing into air. When I resolved the gamma-ray burst, I discovered some unusual circumstances, so I dispersed into air to observe. You mistakenly thought I was killed by the gamma-ray burst when, in fact, that wasn’t the case."

"Oh, so that’s how it is!"

"I was wondering what was happening, turns out it’s our mundane eyes not comprehending Mr. Lu’s divine power."

"Haha, I told you, someone like Mr. Lu, who possesses divine powers that shock the universe, couldn’t possibly be incinerated to ashes by a gamma-ray burst."

Qin Liang, Peng Erping, Wang Yu, and others were enlightened.

This made them feel even more in awe of Lu Li deep in their hearts.

Yang Spirit, eh, in Daoist mythology, a person who cultivates to this level is a true deity.

Previously, everyone only knew that Lu Li possessed power comparable to Gods, not realizing whether he was a very powerful person now or an alternative "monster." Now, hearing him personally confirm that he has "attained enlightenment and become immortal," naturally, they were even more in awe.

Gu Wei is a very perceptive person and immediately noticed a noteworthy point in Lu Li’s words.

He cautiously asked, "Mr. Lu, just now you said after resolving the gamma-ray burst, you noticed some unusual situations, could there be something bad?"

Only then did Shen Xia, Liu Kexin, Dad, and Mom come to their senses and couldn’t help but look over.

Speaking of this, Lu Li’s expression became much more serious.

He frowned and said, "There are some unfriendly matters, and I am about to announce it to the entire world. How about this, Old Gu, can you help arrange for the global media, and let’s say I’ll announce something important at three o’clock tomorrow afternoon?"

Gu Wei unhesitatingly agreed, "Okay, I’ll arrange it right away, but can you first give us a brief idea of what it’s about?"

Dad couldn’t help but say, "Yes, Xiaoli, give us some insight so we know what’s going on."

Mom, Grandma, Aunt, Uncle, and Aunt-in-law were all nodding.

Lu Li seriously scanned the faces of everyone present, and then solemnly said, "I discovered the presence of aliens in cosmic space!"

"Ah?"

"What?"

"There really are aliens?"

Everyone was utterly shocked.

Lu Li confirmed while saying, "Yes, not only are there aliens, but this alien civilization seems extremely advanced. The gamma-ray burst that hit the solar system this time was actually created by them!"

These words brought a shock to the whole room.

Shen Xia, Gu Wei, and Liu Ke Ping truly didn’t expect that gamma-ray bursts, one of the strongest rays in the cosmos, could actually be man-made.

This left them extremely shocked, utterly unable to imagine how advanced the civilization of the alien race mentioned by Lu Li was.

...

Inside Earth’s super spaceship, everyone was astounded by Lu Li’s words.

Little did they know, at this moment in the vast expanse of cosmic space, there were people more shocked than Shen Xia, Gu Wei, and Liu Ke Ping.

Inside the core control cabin of the super cosmic battleship.

Commander Moras, sitting on the throne, looked down at the Chief Technology Officer, Bella, and softly asked, "Has the signal from the detector been transmitted back?"

Bella glanced at a device like a wristwatch on his wrist, "We just received the signal."

Commander Moras nodded lightly, "Convert the signal into an image and play it through once, let’s see how many creatures in this star system have been exterminated."

Bella replied immediately, "Yes, sir."

Then he turned to arrange for the technicians to convert the signal into an image.

Just one or two Earth hours ago, the Spiritual Race had used the gamma-ray burst cannon they set up to shoot a gamma-ray burst, which had been unstoppable in exterminating life in star systems, into the solar system.

Afterward, the many technicians aboard the battleship, with the assistance of various robots, dismantled the turret and retracted it back into the ship.

These were normal procedures, actually nothing special.

The special thing was that before the gamma-ray burst cannon was fired, Chief Technology Officer Bella had launched a detector capable of preventing gamma-ray bursts from damaging electronic components into the solar system, intending to observe the specific situation of the gamma-ray burst exterminating life in the star system.

The distance of the detector from the battleship resulted in a signal transmission delay.

Therefore, one or two hours ago, the over ten million members of the Spiritual Race aboard the battleship were utterly unaware if the gamma-ray burst had successfully irradiated each planet within the solar system and whether it had exterminated system life as smoothly as before.

Now that the signal has been transmitted back, it can be converted into an image.

The people of the Spiritual Race naturally wanted to know the results.

As the technicians were busy, other members of the Spiritual Race within the battleship were chatting incessantly.

"Haha, do we still need to watch?"

"Exactly, with such vast energy impact from a gamma-ray burst, how could there be any survivors?"

"It’s not like that, the gamma-ray burst won’t directly exterminate every life form in the system; it usually destroys the atmospheres of various planets, and only after several days does the life within the system become completely extinct. The Commander now has us look at the images transmitted by the detector to confirm the status of life extermination in the star system to prevent any unnecessary trouble when proceeding."

"Yes, the Commander is quite meticulous; it’s better to watch."

In the minds of the over ten million members of the Spiritual Race, the overwhelming power of the gamma-ray burst would at least destroy the atmosphere of all planets within the solar system, even if it couldn’t exterminating all life in it instantly. Within a few short Earth days, the life in the system would be completely extinct.

By then, they could exploit this star system.

That’s what Commander Moras thought.

That’s also what Chief Technology Officer Bella thought.

The remaining over ten million members of the Spiritual Race almost entirely held the same belief.

None of them imagined that any life in the solar system could survive under the irradiation of a gamma-ray burst.

With these thoughts in mind, they eagerly anticipated the scenes they were about to witness.

After a moment, the technicians successfully converted the signal into an image.

Bella returned to the front of Moras and said, "Commander, the image is ready, we can view it anytime."

Commander Moras waved his hand, "Play it then, if the level of life extermination within the system is high, we might be able to begin a series of extractions in the star system tonight."

Bella said, "Yes, sir."

Finished speaking, he ordered through his "watch" for the technicians to play the image.

Instantly, everyone inside the spaceship turned to look at the large screens in their respective compartments.

Besides Moras, Bella, and others who did their tasks rigorously by watching intently, most others were somewhat laid-back.

After all, the gamma-ray burst cannon had never failed before; they naturally didn’t expect it to fail this time and didn’t think there would be anything interesting to see, hence the somewhat casual demeanor.

Then...

Yes, then many Spiritual Race members, who initially appeared quite disinterested, suddenly stared at the big screen, stunned!

Bella was like this!

Moras was like this!

The over ten million members of the Spiritual Race nearly all had this expression.

Inside this super cosmic battleship, every member of the Spiritual Race was staring at the screen in profound disbelief!

They simply couldn’t believe what they were seeing was real!

In cosmic space, there suddenly appeared a Heaven-Shocking Demon God, far bigger than a planet?

This Heaven-Shocking Demon God, with its gigantic body, entirely blocked the gamma-ray burst?

Could this possibly be done by a biological entity? That’s terrifyingly scary!
