Sha Yulan glanced at Xiong Wuji and, seeing no objection on his face, explained after pondering for a while . "The apocalypse was the greatest change of the Flying Star Sector in the last five thousand years . I had never been told the full story before I was forced to land on Iron Plateau, but I've managed to have a general idea of what happened after investigating and analyzing the information for more than ten years . "
Li Yao was beaming with curiosity . He observed, "Since I was born and raised in a remote town in the sea of stars, I'd never heard of this apocalypse before, and I definitely have no grudge with the qi-trainers . But for some reason, the qi-trainers of the Burning Sun Tribe seemed to regard me as their mortal enemy . They started fighting me after only a few words . It was completely unreasonable . I should at least know what I am killed for if I have to be killed . What exactly happened five thousand years ago? What is the so-called apocalypse? A meteor shower?"
Xiong Wuji sniffed and replied, "An apocalypse is the greatest catastrophe for a sector . It is so much more complicated than a simple meteor shower!"
He waved his hands, gesturing for Sha Yulan to continue, while he sat aside with a solemn face, deep in thought .
"I haven't seen a Cultivator from space for more than ten years . Considering that you saved my son's life, and that this is not a big secret on Iron Plateau, it doesn't matter if I tell you about it .
"All those qi-trainers, including those of the Burning Sun Tribe, although rude and reckless, have good reasons to hate Cultivators . "
Sha Yulan cleared her throat . "Qi-trainers and Cultivators, from their own perspective, both think that justice was on their side . I'll try to tell the story without bias .
"Brother Li Yao, you should know that the Flying Star Sector used to be an important region for the Star Ocean Imperium ten thousand years ago; a lot of space fleets were stationed here, and countless military bases were established . The development level of this area was quite high .
"When the Armageddon Rebellion took place, Blood God, supreme commander of the expedition army of the imperium, revolted and became a demonic Cultivator who called himself the Mad Armageddon . A civil war thus began . Hundreds of years of battles shattered the Flying Star Sector and almost demolished it .
"Even so, a lot of relics in the area could still be made use of, and many damaged starships could be repaired, too . The remaining soldiers of six troops of the imperium as well as their descendants struggled in various planets and world fragments . The six troops gradually evolved into six big sects, which led the people to be united and to pass on the civilization .
"The majority of the six sects were soldiers of the Star Ocean Imperium and their descendants . Naturally, they were much more organized than civilians .
"Also, debris and relics were everywhere in the Flying Star Sector . A lot of knowledge could be analyzed and inherited from them .
"Therefore, the development level of the civilization of the Flying Star Sector recovered very fast . About six thousand years ago, although still relatively small, it had already reached seventy percent of the brilliance of the Star Ocean Imperium when the latter was at its peak .
"The Flying Star Sector, at that time, had developed more than ten space zones and permanently altered the territory and atmosphere of three planets with the energy from almost ten stars . The planets were the new lands for human beings .
"On more than another ten planets, mines were established to collect the precious Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures .
"The entire Flying Star Sector was flourishing .
"Iron Plateau was the capital planet, or mother planet, of the Flying Star Sector . It was where the coalition government of the six big sects was headquartered, as well as the origin of the human civilization of the Flying Star Sector .
"In space, citizens of the Flying Star Sector had repaired a lot of the starships of the Star Ocean Imperium and created newer, bigger, faster crystal warships based on them that could cruise in the universe .
"Those were our golden years . Everybody shared the same goal, which was to explore other constellations and find more brotherly human civilizations . We planned to help them, unite them, and eventually rebuild a great alliance of human beings across the entire universe!
"At that time, everybody firmly believed that the invincible human beings would definitely be able to achieve that!"
Bitterness suddenly appeared on Sha Yulan's hopeful face . "One year before the expedition fleet was to set off, the astronomers of the Flying Star Sector suddenly discovered that a weird wave was crashing right at the Flying Star Sector . After extremely complicated observation and calculation, it was ascertained that three meteoroid showers, one large and the other two small, had been aimed at the only habitable planets of the Flying Star Sector, with the large one targeting Iron Plateau precisely!
"If they were common meteoroid showers, how could they have been aimed at all three habitable planets at the same time?
"There was no doubt that it was not just an astronomical phenomenon, but an apocalypse whose target had been selected neatly!"
Li Yao listened carefully and exclaimed when he heard 'apocalypse' .
Sha Yulan said, "Apocalypses are the most mysterious phenomena in cosmology . When a Cultivator advances to a certain level, or a civilization is developed very fast, an apocalypse might be triggered!
"In the era of the Star Ocean Imperium, mankind encountered many apocalypses . Some of them were resisted by the joint efforts of the Supreme Emperor and the twenty Guilds of Provenance, but some of them couldn't be stopped at all .
"An apocalypse often leads to the complete destruction of one or more worlds!
