"After that—"
When Sha Yulan was about to continue, Xiong Wuji interrupted her, speaking in a hoarse voice . "After that, most of the shelters were demolished by the apocalypse . The bombardment of the meteors cast Iron Plateau in absolute darkness for decades . The territory was entirely changed . The demon beasts that used to lurk underground mutated and became even more brutal and bloodthirsty!
"Only a few of them, who had been hiding in the deepest shelter, survived the catastrophe . But they were barely alive .
"When they returned to the surface, what they saw was a black sun, a desolate land, savage demon beasts, and city debris after city debris .
"All the Cultivators above the Building Foundation Stage had been killed . Only a small portion of Refinement Stage Cultivators, who were responsible for the order and safety of the shelters, were lucky enough to survive .
"However, most of the techniques and training facilities had been stolen by the spacers!
"Without the techniques and the corresponding knowledge, without the enlightenment of masters, and because all the natural paradises had been destroyed, they explored in the darkness for a thousand years and yet failed to find a way to build their foundation!
"But what's the big deal about being unable to build a foundation? They could still slay the demon beasts and defend their homes even if they were merely in the Refinement Stage!
"The Refinement Stage Cultivators fought against the mutated demon beasts and the harsh environment day after day . Gradually, they learned how to broaden their veins and nerves in order to improve their capacity for spiritual gas . They also perceived a brand-new technique from the apocalypse and embarked on an entirely different path of Cultivation from the past .
"These Cultivators—
"No, they stopped calling themselves Cultivators anymore .
"Since 'Cultivators' meant abandoning homes and fleeing without fighting, they should be ashamed of the name forever .
"Because they could only make use of spiritual gas, they simply called themselves 'qi-trainers'!
"The Cultivators all ran away, but the qi-trainers stayed on Iron Plateau and guarded their homeland and the people living in it!"
Sha Yulan stood up . She glared at Xiong Wuji without any concession and spoke in a voice that was low and yet determined . "Cultivators did not run away! We were merely trying to save civilization in a different way!
"In space, the Cultivators shed as much blood as those on Iron Plateau did!
"At that time, most Cultivators were riding crystal warships that were faster, agiler, and sturdier .
"In comparison, most ordinary people were moving in the space towns, which were slow .
"When the apocalypse approached, the crystal warships of the Cultivators could've run away!
"But in order to let more space towns escape from the apocalypse, countless Cultivators waged a suicidal war against it in their crystal warships!
"For most of them, they knew that they would certainly be killed, and yet they charged at the apocalypse anyway, just so that the power of the apocalypse could be diminished and the space towns behind them could be one percent more likely to survive!
"It is true that a Divinity Transformation Stage Cultivator stayed on Iron Plateau and sacrificed himself, but the other two Divinity Transformation Stage Cultivators were also in the lead when the apocalypse struck the space fleet, and they died protecting their own people!
"The homers built an iron shield on the surface of the planet, but the spacers also built a shield, one made of flesh and blood!
"I don't care how you brag about the valor of your ancestors, but I will not allow you to insult the Cultivators who sacrificed themselves bravely!"
The short doctor held her head high without the slightest fear in front of the best warrior of the six tribes of Iron Plateau like an infuriated cat .
Xiong Wuji seemed to be caught off guard by Shu Yulan's refutation and was lost for words for a moment .
Li Yao was dazed briefly, too . He hurried to ease the intensity . "Faced with such a world-destroying catastrophe, I think that homers and spacers both had good reasons for their decisions . But as for the members of 'Plan Prometheus' who stole the techniques and training facilities before the arrival of the apocalypse… I don't know how I should comment on them . I wonder, what was their ending?"
Sha Yulan took a deep breath to calm herself down . "Members of Plan Prometheus had planned to flee to the periphery of the Flying Star Sector after they stole the techniques and training facilities and reunite with the main fleet when the apocalypse passed . They would hand in all the techniques and training facilities by then .
"In the message that they sent to the main fleet, they confessed that their behavior was in violation of the laws of the coalition government and any code of conduct; they admitted that there was no way that they should be pardoned or forgiven .
"But in the meantime, they emphasized that more of their civilization would be saved this way and the humans of the Flying Star Sector who were about to roam through space would have a better chance to thrive again .
"Whatever felonies they were going to be condemned to, they were willing to accept them all, even if they had to go on trial and be sentenced to death . Before the action, they had been prepared to die in dishonor .
"As long as the civilization of the Flying Star Sector could live long and prosper, they would sacrifice everything and be the fuel for the burning torch of humanity!
