Chapter 611: Chapter 470: Advancing Humanity Toward a More Glorious Future
How exactly can one obtain the peaches of immortality?
Lu Li did not act again; instead, he was lost in thought.
This question is extremely important to him.
Because if he can bring out the peaches from the world of "Journey to the West," it means he can take things from any imagined world.
Old novels like "Journey to the West" and "The Investiture of the Gods" have relatively low settings and the treasures in them are quite weak.
Modern novels are different, their settings are exceptionally advanced.
To give a simple example, the "Two-Dimensional Blade" from "The Three-Body Problem."
It can achieve a "dimensional strike" in the truest sense.
Once it is thrown out.
It will make the projected area fall from a three-dimensional world to a two-dimensional world.
And the speed of dimensional collapse will gradually reach the speed of light.
Until finally it turns the entire cosmos from three-dimensional into two-dimensional.
This point is somewhat similar to the "vacuum decay" that Lu Li masters, but the means are even more terrifying.
Lu Li now possesses the power of fifteen stars, yet he still cannot perform a "dimensional strike."
If he could obtain the "Two-Dimensional Blade" from the world of "The Three-Body Problem," the destructive power would become even greater.
This is just science fiction.
If it were online novels, the settings would be even more incredible.
For instance, before Lu Li unlocked his genes, he once read an online novel.
It was called "Daoism Myth: I Am the Last True Immortal on Earth."
In it, there is a magical treasure called "Daluo Spirit Soup."
If an ordinary person can take one dose, they can immediately become a Daluo Immortal.
In this novel, the setting of Daluo Immortal is much more advanced than the Primordial Infinite Grand Luo Golden Immortal of the mythological novels in the prehistoric genre.
If one were to describe the novel’s Daluo Immortal strength using an exponential tower, it would be at least an infinite box.
"If I can take out peaches of immortality from the world of ’Journey to the West,’ it means I can also take out the Daluo Spirit Soup from the world of ’Daoism Myth: I Am the Last True Immortal on Earth.’"
Although Lu Li does not know whether the items taken from the Fantasy World have the effects described in the original work, with such a great opportunity in front of him, he certainly wants to give it a try.
Lu Li is thinking about "tactics."
How can he, when taking items from the Fantasy World, avoid the influence of that terrifying force?
"Earlier, when I disturbed the peaches, there was no anomaly."
He carefully recalled the previous situation, "However, when I wanted to take the peaches away from the ’Journey to the West’ world, that great force suddenly appeared and utterly dispersed my energy."
Breaking through the boundary of the second-dimensional space took a significant amount of energy, not full power, but at least the power of three to five stars, yet it was easily dispersed by that invisible force.
It is imaginable how strong that force is.
Lu Li feels that even if he unleashes his full power, he still cannot contend with that force in the slightest.
"Therefore, I must use cleverness to have hope of ’stealing’ things from the Fantasy World."
He pondered that since the force only appears when he tries to take things away, could he split his energy into two or even several streams, with one stream deliberately disturbing items to pretend to take them away from the Fantasy World, to attract the attention of the force, and then let the other streams take the item out while the force focuses on assailing the first stream?
"Whether it will work is uncertain, but it can be tried."
Lu Li mobilized the energy within his body and began his second attempt.
On the other side, on Earth.
In a super base, Shen Xia was transmitting data in the core control room.
"Esteemed Ms. Shen Xia, I have something to report to you."
Suddenly, the artificial intelligence assistant Nuwa automatically presented a virtual image.
Shen Xia stopped what she was doing, turned her high-tech chair to the right side, "What is it?"
Nuwa said, "I’ve just received several signals from cosmic space, and after processing the data, I’ve decoded their meaning."
Shen Xia didn’t think much of it at the time and casually asked, "What’s the content?"
Nuwa said, "The first signal indicates that it was sent by Balabamo, the Supreme Leader of the Orion Arm Interstellar Alliance, expressing his intention to invite our Earth civilization to join the Interstellar Alliance and become one of the Steward Planets."
Orion Arm Interstellar Alliance?
Inviting Earth civilization to join the alliance and become one of the Steward Planets?
Hearing this, Shen Xia was taken aback.
Since the last time the Spiritual Race attacked Earth, she already knew that not only does humanity exist as an intelligent civilization in the cosmos, there are also other intelligent civilizations, and their level of civilization is far above Earth’s.
According to the position of the Star Realm, Earth and the Spiritual Race, which is fifty light-years away, should both belong to the Orion Arm of the Milky Way Galaxy.
There’s nothing problematic about that.
The issue lies in that Shen Xia really did not expect that there is an Interstellar Alliance in the Orion Arm.
Even more unexpected is that this Interstellar Alliance is inviting Earth civilization to join it.
Shen Xia frowned and said, "Orion Arm Interstellar Alliance? Steward Planet?"
Nuwa explained carefully, "The Orion Arm Interstellar Alliance consists of over a thousand high-level civilizations in the Orion Arm, each at least possessing the level of an early-stage stellar civilization. Previously, the Spiritual Race that attacked Earth had reached the mid-stage stellar civilization level. Of course, this is the minimum standard, and in fact, the most powerful Night Cloud Race, according to the content of the signals they sent, is infinitely close to a Level 3 Civilization, also known as a galaxy civilization."
