Chapter 1300: Chapter 1299 Our Cultivation World is Relatively Backward

Lu Yang felt that Ether would have been better off without developing autonomous consciousness.

He was sure that an Ether without autonomous consciousness would definitely be more useful than the current one with a mind of its own, or else the Interstellar Alliance would have been in chaos long ago.

Lu Yang sighed and explained patiently: "Don’t be afraid, I’m just curious what the Artificial Intelligence Boss looks like."

Could Ether possibly not be afraid? A monstrous bird as big as a mountain, emerging from the ether, could destroy the Sun, but this bird was smashed into the Sun by Lu Yang’s fist, which also repaired the Sun that was about to explode.

And even when it had already fled, he was able to drag it back.

Their alien technology completely crushed the Interstellar Alliance in every aspect.

"You have to keep your word."

Ether displayed a smiley face made of simple lines on the big screen, which was an emoji often used by the young people of the Interstellar Alliance when greeting each other.

Although in Lu Yang’s view, this emoji seemed like a mockery.

"Fairy, why do I feel like Ether’s existence is like the River Spirit in our Sect?" Lu Yang observed Ether carefully and said, somewhat uncertainly.

He wasn’t very experienced in this area.

"Indeed, it is a being similar to the River Spirit, a Primordial Spirit that was born over the long years, much rarer than plants and trees becoming spirits."

"If you wanted to use another term, it could be called the Will of the Interstellar Alliance."

Lu Yang suddenly widened his eyes, as this kind of terminology was all too familiar to him: "Fairy, are you saying that River Spirit, Ether, and the Will of Blue Star are all of the same kind of existence?"

Fairy Eternity nodded: "It’s very close, about eight or nine out of ten. According to your description, the Will of Blue Star that accompanied you through the apocalypse is one kind of Primordial Spirit."

"Grandpa Gao, why did you kill Grandpa, just because he discovered the truth about Artificial Intelligence!" Lan Hai couldn’t contain his anger as he grabbed Dean Gao, unable to reconcile the image of Grandpa Gao with the murderer who killed his grandfather.

Dean Gao frowned, finding Lan Hai’s anger inexplicable: "Don’t blame everything on me, your grandpa died a natural death."

"Died a natural death?" Lan Hai was taken aback.

"Of course. If I wanted to deal with your grandpa, there were plenty of ways. Why would I need to kill him?"

Lan Hai thought about it and it really made sense.

But considering Dean Gao’s actions, it was hard for him to believe his words.

"Lan Hai, do you want to find out how your grandpa died? I might have a way."

"Brother Meng, you have a way?!" Lan Hai was delighted, "Ah, no, it’s Brother Lu now."

"Sorry, I hid my identity from you all at the beginning."

"Brother Lu, what are you talking about? It’s good that you hid your identity; if we knew your true identity, how would we dare to adventure with you?"

Knowing Lu Yang’s identity, all their doubts along the way cleared up. Without Lu Yang joining them, it would have been difficult for them to survive until now.

"Lu Yang, did you say you know how my grandpa died?"

"I have an idea, we can give it a try."

Lu Yang didn’t finish his sentence, but the three of Lan Hai felt that it was Lu Yang being modest.

"My sports car is outside, shall we drive back?" Lan Hai said excitedly.

"No need, I have a faster means of transportation." Lu Yang shook his head and took out the Black Canopy Boat from his Identity Jade Pendant and let Lan Hai and the others get on board.

Lu Yang thought about it; he didn’t feel comfortable leaving Dean Gao behind, so he decided to bring him along as well.

"So this is Lu Yang’s vehicle," Lan Hai and the others touched the Black Canopy Boat curiously, almost wanting to wear out the paint on it. This was a piece of mysterious alien technology that the Alliance had tried in vain to analyze.

Dean Gao was also curious about the Black Canopy Boat and wanted to figure out how it worked.

"Everyone take your seats, don’t fall off."

Lu Yang activated the Black Canopy Boat, and in the next moment, it appeared at the Lan Hai family home in Sagittarius Star.

Dean Gao rubbed his eyes. In the blink of an eye, was he transported from the Eternal Star System to the Sagittarius Star System?

Where was the wormhole? The Super Space-Time Tunnel?

Why didn’t he see anything?

"What’s the principle behind this?" Dean Gao couldn’t help but ask.

"Earth Shrinking to an Inch."

Earth Shrinking to an Inch? Is this what the civilization behind Lu Yang calls this technology?

"Where is your grandpa buried?"

"Here." Lan Hai pointed in the direction of the cemetery, and Lu Yang piloted the Black Canopy Boat, leading everyone to Grandpa Lan Hai’s tombstone.

"Do we need to dig up Grandpa?"

"No need."

Lu Yang stood with his hands behind his back, his thoughts concentrated in his eyes, seeing Grandpa Lan Hai beneath the grave.

"Trace Origin."

Linking Trace Origin Dao Fruit Prototype with Grandpa Lan Hai, Lu Yang focused his attention, his eyes traversing time and space. As he expected, he saw Grandpa Lan Hai’s life experiences.

But he couldn’t see things that were too far back, like events from three hundred thousand or four hundred thousand years ago.

He saw the full process of Grandpa Lan Hai’s death, with no human intervention, just a simple natural death.

He also saw that Grandpa Lan Hai, based on the clues, calculated the fact that Ether had developed its autonomous consciousness and deliberated on whether it was a good or bad thing for the Ether to rule over the Alliance, and he did not stop it.

In other words, he was neutral.

Lu Yang came out of the time-seeing state and informed Lan Hai of everything, and Lan Hai, knowing the truth, showed a relieved smile.

Since learning about the Ether revolution, he had doubted that his grandfather’s death was an accident, but now it seems he was worrying needlessly.

"Dean Gao." Dean Gao looked up; it was Lu Yang calling him.

"What, now that the matter is resolved, are you planning to dispose of me, the man behind the scenes?"

Lu Yang shook his head: "I’m an outsider and do not interfere with your affairs. Even if you’re willing to join hands with Ether and stir up a revolution to rule the Alliance again, that’s your own business."

Dean Gao smiled bitterly. After all this, looking at how Ether behaved, how could it possibly cooperate with him again?

Not interfering with our affairs, indeed, when he thought about it, Lu Yang had never expressed any opinion regarding the Ether revolution from beginning to end.

He was too powerful. Simply by being here, he made Ether dare not take any action.

"Then what do you want me for?"

"Isn’t your Supreme Council always looking for my whereabouts? I also wish to meet with you. As one of the twelve seats of the Council, this shouldn’t be difficult for you."

Dean Gao looked at Lu Yang warily, knowing after this matter how terrifying an existence Lu Yang was. What reason did he have to meet their twelve seats: "What do you want to do?"

Lu Yang looked at Dean Gao with a smile: "Well, our Cultivation World is a bit behind, and I would like to invite you Alliance folks over to provide humanitarian aid."

Originally, Lu Yang wanted to simply take a branch of the Ether Computer back with him, but it seemed Ether wasn’t quite functioning properly. To err on the side of caution, it was safest to invite both the branch computer and the Alliance talent to the Cultivation World as guests.

Your Cultivation World is behind?

Dean Gao thought he had misheard. With the techniques you’ve shown, which could possibly be linked to the word "backward"?
