Cosmic-Level Demon God-Chapter 94 - 84: Maximum Martial Law, Destruction Strike (Second Update)

Chapter 94: Chapter 84: Maximum Martial Law, Destruction Strike (Second Update)

Star God?

Listening to Lin Yunqing’s description, something about embryos and childhood, Qin Shi felt strangely familiar.

How is it somewhat similar to the Monument Panel?

"What level of life form is the Star God? Born from the earth’s core, that means it was bathed in 7,000-degree heat since its embryonic stage. More ferocious than a Super Saiyan!"

Qin Shi felt puzzled and wanted to ask questions, but Lin Yunqing didn’t give him a chance, his expression serious as he continued:

"Currently, ancient history before the New Calendar can be traced back to 300 millennia, but by then Dongxia had already escaped the Solar System and started forming Expeditionary Armies.

The first Star God humanity encountered is lost to history, but it’s conceivable the brutal cost they paid, like a toddler taking its first steps, growing gradually, yet falling into the hands of a supreme predator before fully maturing.

In the works preserved by later historians, there was a phrase used, ’bloody crying,’ to describe it. How humanity escaped the Star God’s control remains an unsolved mystery, yet they indeed did it.

The power of technology forged Dongxia’s second glory, and then they artificially created their own ’Star God’—the Gear Emperor."

Humans really are peculiar creatures who love to court death.

Qin Shi’s mouth twitched; after barely escaping the Star God’s leash, shouldn’t they quietly develop, accumulating strength to crush the galaxy?

"Gear Emperor initially was a computer called ’Mo,’ processing not-so-important research data. At that time, Dongxia as an empire, from top to bottom, was obsessed with a strange art known as ’Alchemy,’ establishing schools everywhere, recruiting apprentices.

Among them was a man named ’Ju Zi,’ who reconstructed ’Mo,’ giving it ’intelligence,’ thus commencing a hundred-thousand-year-long era of dark turmoil."

Lin Yunqing narrated this history quite immersively, around Dongxia’s grand stage throughout ancient and modern times, kings, marquises, heroic rebels emerged one after another, you could say one act plays out and another comes on stage.

Yet no one compared to a technical research monk who directly gave rise to an infinitely growing electronic consciousness, causing unprecedented havoc, almost leading these carbon-based life forms to extinction.

This is the strength of the Spiritual Ability System!

Far more destructive than Martial Gods!

"...I’m getting sidetracked. Anyway, humans and mechanical beings fought until their brains almost splattered out; the initially flourishing Great Expedition was forcibly interrupted again, some chose to splinter off, some chose to return, over an extremely long time, the Galaxy was filled with battles between ’ancestors’ and ’iron people’—those mechanical beings called themselves the ’People of Iron.’

Lin Yunqing indeed was a top student from Qiguang Heng University, deep-rooted in professional knowledge, casually bringing up many details, far surpassing Martial Arts System students who only studied first-generation Ten Great records or flipped through Martial God autobiographies.

The outcome, well, as you see, humans continued vigorous as ever, who claimed victory is self-explanatory. The almost-goddess Gear Emperor was ’dethroned,’ after discussion and negotiation, only ’Mechanical Soul’ was retained, to serve humans; most knowledge regarding ’Mechanical Ascension’ was sealed, only ’Manipulation’ and ’Communication’ could be studied, associated ’Enlightenment’ and ’Sublimation’ were considered taboo.

Qin Shi scratched his head, glancing at the pile of Mechanical Dogs he kicked apart:

"Teacher Lin, you said so much, what does this have to do with Heng Province’s electronic lockdown? Afraid the Gear Emperor will resurrect, or perhaps remnants of iron people retaliate?"

Lin Yunqing gave a sideways glance, as if saying how could he be so dull:

"It’s almost the climax, what’s the rush? Dongxia expanded limitlessly, awakening one slumbering Star God after another, eventually leading to a fight between them, an ancient regime spanning over eight hundred millennia against a group of nigh-mythical super life forms, battling to the Galactic Frontier, nearly erasing cosmic paths.

Reportedly, at its peak, Dongxia had forty quadrillion people, here’s a note for you, Mr. Qin, remember this is only the registered number of ’Dongxia people.’

You should know, Dongxia Dynasty had a long history, in the twenty-level military achievement nobility system, a fifth-level ’Doctor’ could own thousands of slaves and tens of thousands of laborers, not to mention those ’Marquises’ and ’Kings,’ who could enslave an entire native population of a planet.

According to historiographical records, Dongxia, as the greatest empire in the galaxy, controlled over a million habitable planets and countless resource-type and functional planets.

There was a record of a fifteenth-level young noble with the title of ’Duke,’ who personally burned a star he bought into glass just to prove his wealth."

Qin Shi couldn’t quite imagine what methods could burn Heng Province into a giant glass ball?

Those old Dongxia folks, weren’t they a bit too inflated, like players in a construction game reaching late stage, technology tree maxed out, wealth maxed out, population growth maxed out, starting to feel bored?

"What a shame, the golden age is gone, fighting with Star God not only wiped out their wealth but also destroyed their foundations. After becoming destitute, only the old mansion remained, relying on the remaining Ancestral Star, we barely held on, establishing the Dongxia Republic, struggling through nine millennia to reclaim thirty-two administrative stars."

Lin Yunqing clapped his hands, indicating getting to the main point:

"There was no victor in the Dongxia and Star God’s war; Dongxia suffered immense damage, reduced to barely one percent of its former strength, while Star Gods also didn’t fare well; they won’t completely perish but continue to sleep.

New Dongxia’s strategy was ’containment,’ targeting each Star God’s different characteristics to permanently ’seal’ them in the earth’s core, keeping them in a juvenile state."

Qin Shi seemed to understand the meaning behind Lin Yunqing’s words; the young Star God deep in Heng Province’s core, is it highly sensitive to ’electronics’ and ’energy’?

These things would be the nutrients for its growth beyond the juvenile stage?

"Exactly. That’s why in Dongxia’s ’original settings’ for developing New Stars, Heng Province couldn’t use higher-tech methods, it was locked from the beginning; even after a hundred years, there would be no iterations in electronic devices and energy utilization.

Heng Province’s juvenile Star God’s codename is ’Taotie,’ many also call it the ’Lord of Gluttony.’ It devours all energies and power."

Qin Shi finally resolved his confusion, just as he expected, Dongxia’s Great Expedition aimed to reclaim territories of the fallen ancient empire, while the Grand Pioneering was to suppress Star Gods, develop New Stars, and retrieve lost technologies.

"So back to the earlier topic, what is the Electronic Demon?"

He looked at Lin Yunqing; the Star God in its juvenile stage remains dormant, as long as careful control is maintained, awakening it isn’t easy.

"Minions. Star Gods often create subordinate biological forms for various purposes. Electronic Demon is one such minion. It has no physical form, spreads through ’infection,’ resembling more like a virus."

Lin Yunqing pointed at the Mechanical Dog’s wreckage:

"If you hadn’t intervened in time, once this thing initiated an electronic oscillation, surpassing signal threshold, all electronic devices in Jiushong Port would instantly infect and mutate.

This is the terrifying aspect of Electronic Demons, causing massive facility paralysis and rapid destruction of order.

The explosion in Old Factory Street that year released an Electronic Demon. I watched some highly classified videos, any high-energy weapon or advanced-tech device, once infected, would become frenzied, attacking all organic life indiscriminately."

Qin Shi’s eyes gradually became serious; according to Lin Yunqing’s explanation, the true ’pathogen’ carrying ’Electronic Demon Virus’ isn’t under the control of the Inspection Department.

"I’ve discussed with Chen Yun; he believes it’s necessary to apply the highest-level lockdown on Dangyang East Suburb and, if the situation becomes irretrievable, request... strikes."

Chen Yun’s face was as still as water, without the slightest ease; such a decision, once executed, meant playing the role of executioner and butcher.

"We must find the person! Cut the source! The form of Electronic Demon isn’t complete; from the residual field force onsite, it seems weak. What exactly did that bastard Qin Lihao do to get it out!"

Chen Yun cursed, disregarding maintaining his temperament.

"Sister Yun..."

Qin Shi tapped his temple, as if activating some switch, then said:

"I think I can track the pathogen’s movement route."
