Chapter 405 The Great Sage
It's just average, I guess.
Xiao Weiqing did not intend to dwell on this matter further.
"Senior, what's the matter with you calling me?"
The old man said, "It's not me who's looking for you, it's the wise man who wants to see you."
"A great sage?"
"He is the guardian of the entire site, the guide for the transmission of civilization, and a true sage."
"Still alive?"
"Nonsense, although the Great Sage is not good at fighting, he is still a Star Lord. It's not unusual for him to be alive, but he doesn't have much time left. After all, Star Lords can live for ten or twenty thousand years."
"Even a great sage who has gone into hibernation several times cannot withstand the power of time and is about to die." The old man's words were filled with unspeakable sorrow.
"Come with me."
A door appeared in front of the old man, and he went through it first.
Xiao Weiqing followed closely behind.
......
A magnificent hall.
The dome is as high and wide as the sky, solemn and majestic.
Ten statues of gods stand on both sides of the hall. Each statue is more than ten feet tall, made of white jade and gilded. Some hold weapons and glare angrily, while others lower their eyes and make hand seals. A faint divine light surrounds their bodies.
As soon as Xiao Weiqing stepped into the hall, he felt as if he were standing before gods, filled with awe and dared not utter a word.
At the end of the main hall.
On the vast throne sat a war god, who, even while seated, was a foot taller than the surrounding statues, emanating a powerful aura that made Xiao Weiqing dare not look directly at him.
"Come here, child."
A sudden sound rang out.
Holy crap!
Xiao Weiqing's heart skipped a beat. Had the corpse come back to life?
"What are you standing there for?"
"Hurry up and come here," the old man's voice rang out.
Xiao Weiqing lowered his gaze and saw two figures below the throne.
One of them was tall and slender, about three meters tall, like a withered tree, looking as if a gust of wind could topple him over.
The old man next to him was extremely respectful to this old man.
Is this the great sage of the Kuhn civilization?
"Is it really the Star Lord?"
Xiao Weiqing, filled with doubt, slowly stepped forward.
"Junior Qin Weixiao of the Blue Star Civilization greets the Great Sage."
Why use katakana?
The wise man squinted and asked with a smile. Although his eyes seemed not to be open, Xiao Weiqing felt as if he were naked and being seen clearly.
Xiao Weiqing was startled.
How can you tell that?
"Um... it was a former name, not a pseudonym."
"My other name is Xiao Weiqing."
Xiao Weiqing chuckled awkwardly.
"Is that so?"
The wise man didn't dwell on it, and slowly said, "Child, how about we make a deal?"
Xiao Weiqing's heart tightened. Making a deal with such an old monster who had lived for countless years, he always felt like he was going to be sold out.
"Great sage, why don't you tell me first, what kind of transaction is it?"
"Young man, the deal the wise man spoke of will only benefit you, not harm you. Why don't you agree quickly?" the old man said.
The wise man stopped him, saying, "It's alright. I enjoy dealing with intelligent people. Grace, let Xiao Weiqing consider it."
"Yes."
Grace, this was the first time Xiao Weiqing had heard the old man's name.
"The deal I'm proposing is that once you control this cradle of civilization, you will gift our Kuhn civilization a habitable planet so we can rebuild it."
One sentence left Xiao Weiqing stunned, his mind reeling.
"Great sage, there are some things I don't understand," Xiao Weiqing asked truthfully.
"you say."
"Why do you think I will eventually control this fertile land? And how big is this fertile land? How many habitable planets does it have? And can you even give away planets?"
Xiao Weiqing asked a lot of questions in one breath.
The wise man said, "Let me answer the first question first. My intuition tells me that you will become the ruler of this world in the future."
"intuition?"
Xiao Weiqing was speechless. Was it really that hasty?
Even if you say you can predict the future, or see fragments of the future, or that you can dominate the stars, defeat powerful enemies, and rule the world, it's still better than vague intuition.
The wise man smiled and said, "My intuition has always been very accurate."
"Back then, I had a premonition that civilization was about to perish, so I asked the star lords of the Kuhn civilization at that time to work together to build this ruin, which gave my Kuhn civilization a chance to rise again."
"Good heavens, what a jinx!" Xiao Weiqing thought to himself.
He felt he had discovered the reason for the destruction of the Kuhn civilization, but of course, he couldn't say it out loud, otherwise he might not be able to leave this hall.
"Please continue."
Xiao Weiqing said respectfully.
The wise man continued, "As for how large this gestation ground is, I am not quite sure. We did not arrive here very early, but over the years, a total of six gestating civilizations have visited this place."
"Six?"
"Great sage, could you name six?"
"The Spirit Beast Civilization, the Three Star Civilization, the Star Ring Civilization, the Everlasting Radiance Civilization, the Eternal Day Civilization, and you, the Blue Star Civilization."
"These six civilizations together form the land that nurtured you."
"I see."
Xiao Weiqing nodded, then frowned, "No, wise one, our Blue Star is being invaded by the demon race, don't they count?"
"They are foreign civilizations."
"Foreign civilization?"
"They are invaders, native civilizations from a non-native land."
"Isn't anyone in charge? Wasn't it said that the gestation ground was artificially intervened by the Fifth Universe Civilization?"
The wise man patiently explained, "Although the Fifth Universe Civilization is also controlled by the human race, its territory is too large and its control is insufficient. Many places have been occupied by foreign races. This is due to many factors and it is difficult to explain in a short time."
At this point, the wise man changed the subject, "You don't think you're the only victims, do you?"
"Isn't that right?"
The wise man shook his head. "In other star systems of the universe, in places you cannot see, humanity is also waging war against other races. It's hard to say who is invading whom. Do you think the invaded demon race is the victim?"
"Would you sympathize with them?"
Xiao Weiqing understood: "Weakness is the original sin."
The wise man nodded, "That's exactly the point."
"Let me answer one last question."
"Planets can be given away or bought and sold; they are a common form of currency in the universe. Planets with life on them are even more valuable."
"However, we don't need that. You just need to give us a habitable planet."
Xiao Weiqing took a deep breath.
"Great Sage, I have only just entered the eighth realm. According to the strength classification of cosmic civilizations, I am only at the third level. I am not even a star lord. I am a little apprehensive that you are discussing a business of an entire planet with me."
Xiao Weiqing was genuinely a bit bewildered.
If facing Qingfeng, the remnant of Civilization No. 1, or the demigod Kelun, or the Lord of Illusion Moon Star, Xiao Weiqing would still dare to take advantage of the situation.
but.
The Kuhn civilization is different. Its heritage is very complete, and even the great sages are still alive. Just this one trial ground, with its Nirvana warriors, is enough to give any country on Earth a run for its money.
Xiao Weiqing dared not agree to anything rashly.
otherwise.
In the past, he would have sworn an oath to the gods long ago.
