Chapter 87: The Void Demon Realm's Giant's Mindset Collapses

This statement drew the attention of those around.

Eight planets, varying in size—why shouldn't Earth be the largest?

You must know Earth is the densest planet in the solar system; though its size isn't large, its density is the highest. Doesn't that seem suspicious?

Add to that Earth being the only planet among the eight with living beings, which is enough to prove Earth's uniqueness; so adding another unique point—that it is the largest planet—is not impossible.

The more they thought, the more possible it seemed, and those around began joining in the speculation.

Just then.

The person who had previously claimed Earth was once huge but was shattered into something small spoke again.

"Also, do you think there's another possibility... that actually, all eight planets once had living beings long ago, but due to struggles between the Transcendents and demons, or perhaps struggles between the Transcendents, demons, and those from 'the other side,' the eight planets were battered until only Earth retained life."

Many people gasped sharply, looking at that person in shock.

Holy crap!!!

At this moment, not a single person held back a curse in their heart; even the reserved girls lost all composure, able only to shout "I curse" to rule the world.

His speculation was simply too explosive.

The key is that upon careful reasoning, it is not impossible; on the contrary, the possibility is very high.

"Mars!! Didn't experts say before that Mars is actually suitable for human survival, that its oxygen content and other factors are suitable for human habitation?" someone cried out in shock, voicing the Mars colonization idea that people worldwide had brought up every now and then.

According to reports, through continuous exploration and detection, Mars is suitable for human habitation, and traces of living beings on Mars have allegedly been photographed.

It wasn't just Mars...

"I remember my uncle, who works in scientific research, told me that scientific research has found that billions of years ago, Venus likely had vast amounts of liquid water, but later, due to certain reasons, volcanic eruptions became frequent on Venus, releasing large amounts of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, causing temperatures to rise continuously, evaporating the liquid water; this vicious cycle ultimately turned Venus into its current state."

Having spoken thus.

This person wiped the sweat from his forehead, his heart beating fast, and said in a nearly hoarse voice.

"My uncle said Mars is farther from the Sun than Earth; if Mars also had a sufficiently strong greenhouse effect, then Mars's surface temperature could be exactly the same as Earth's surface temperature. That means, without some reason causing volcanic eruptions on Venus that evaporated the liquid water, there would be temperatures and water there just like on Earth, which could absolutely support living beings."

Silence.

His words left the entire hall speechless; everyone felt their blood flowing faster, even reversing, and their breathing grew heavy.

They understood what this person's words meant, and all had grasped the key point within them!

Scientific research found that billions of years ago, due to certain reasons, volcanic eruptions became frequent on Venus.

Certain reasons???

What reason could cause frequent volcanic eruptions, let alone volcanoes covering the entire planet Venus?

The next moment.

They all turned to look toward the old Monk, nearly suffocating.

The Transcendents!!

A Transcendent who could destroy an entire world with a single hand could absolutely cause all the volcanoes on a planet to erupt.

Yes, it must be correct; it must have been the Transcendents, demons, and gods fighting fiercely on Venus back then, causing volcanic eruptions and wiping out all living beings on Venus.

The successive accounts by these few people completely triggered madness throughout the hall; at this moment, no one could stop thinking, no one could stop their minds from wandering.

Mars had life, Venus had life too; this means it is actually possible that all eight planets had life. The reason the eight planets now have no living beings and appear unsuitable for human survival might be due to battles among the Transcendents, which altered the entire planetary ecosystem, drove species to extinction, and made them no longer suitable for human survival.

Take that gas giant, Jupiter!

A large portion of Jupiter's surface is composed of gas; it is possible that the Transcendents acted, ultimately shattering the massive planet Jupiter into gas, finally making it a gas giant.

As one person after another voiced their speculation and posted it online, countless people were shocked.

Even the scientists at the Japan Academy of Sciences went mad, screaming wildly, insisting science is still useful.

As the discussion continued, people gained a new and even more shocking understanding of the Transcendents and demons, clearly recognizing how terrifying and secret the unknown side of this world truly is.

They desperately longed to know what "those from the other side" truly were, to learn more secrets about demons, Transcendents, and gods, yet they were also extremely afraid, fearing that as they learned more, they would discover terrifying secrets that would leave them despairing.

"There must still be secrets within this that we do not know," Professor Zhongtian murmured.

After all, they knew the demons and Transcendents stood on the same side because of "those from the other side," but what exactly "those from the other side" were remained unknown...

Moreover!

Why did Shuten-doji research "those from the other side"? What did "those from the other side" do to make the demons and Transcendents stand on the same side? And what role do the gods, who have yet to appear, play in all this? Are they on the same side? Opposed? Neutral?

These matters surely hold secrets they have yet to discover.

Regarding the conversation between Lord Cimu and Master Konghai, the reaction in Japan was mostly surprise, excitement, and curiosity, but the Void Demon Realm was different.

At this moment.

The Void Demon Realm.

Countless Void Demons were stunned, dumbstruck, feeling dizzy and disoriented.

We are experimental subjects??

Not to mention the Void Demons, even the giants of the Void Demon Realm were bewildered.

No wonder they reacted this way; anyone who learned they were mere lab mice would be stunned and go mad, especially the giants of the Void Demon Realm; they could accept this truth less than anyone else.

"We are merely experimental subjects created by someone, and even then, only the descendants of experimental subjects."

The Demon Lord of the Demon God Temple stared blankly, muttering to himself, his entire being on the verge of madness.

He desperately wanted to roar out that he didn't believe it, but when his gaze fixed upon that figure in the distant sky whose aura alone could withstand the Buddha Palm that sought to destroy the world, his throat felt as if a fireball were lodged there, burning and scorching, making it impossible for him to speak.

The strong are proud; they look down on the weak, viewing them as ants, let alone lying to ants, which would be an insult to them.

The strong are all like this, let alone that elegant figure from the heavens, born of noble lineage.

Such a powerful being would absolutely not deign to lie to them.

Besides, lying to them would serve no purpose...

If it were to save them? Don't joke; if they weren't related to the experimental subjects, why would they save them? The two sides have no kinship whatsoever.

If it were fear of fighting the one who used the Buddha Hand? Even more impossible! The two clearly have a relationship, and since he could even block the Buddha Hand with mere aura, their power levels could not differ greatly.

If it were about using them? Don't make jokes. A group of ants he could wipe out with a casual gesture, perhaps even kill with a single sneeze—what use could saving them possibly be?

If it were a play deliberately acted by the two of them? Even more impossible. After all, what could be gained by deceiving them? At most, it would make them grateful to Lord Cimu, then submit to Lord Cimu and obey every command. Yet doing so would be utterly meaningless.

Because Lord Cimu could simply suppress them with force; such submission would come faster and be far more effective. Know this: deceiving them by claiming they are lab mice, this kind of lie would not only fail to win their submission but instead cause their minds to collapse.

Moreover, they knew very well that the strong are arrogant, especially that elegant figure. How could he possibly conspire with others to lie to ants? No matter how one thinks, it is impossible.

Thinking and thinking.

They could not think of it, nor did they need to think at all. That figure named "Lord Cimu" could not possibly lie to them; there was no meaning in it whatsoever.

Having made up their minds.

The minds of the Demon God Temple's Lord and other titans collapsed.

Hundreds of years of effort, climbing to the position of titans in the Void Demon Realm, even becoming one of the top few existences in the Void Demon Realm—yet in the end, they were merely fighting back and forth within a "petri dish."

And they were nothing more than lab mice.

They fought to the death for a territory, slaughtered heaven and earth for an interest; in the eyes of that elegant figure and other great figures, it was merely the fermentation process of experimental specimens.

(PS: Damn, why do you all think my combat power has collapsed, that my writing has collapsed? Are combat powers in Qidian's light novels all terrifyingly low? Yet in every book I've written, the battles have been high, and I've written quite a few, never collapsing before. Hmm, saying all this isn't to brag about myself; I just want to tell the readers, rest assured, this book of mine cannot collapse, especially not in terms of combat power.)
