Dragon Transformation in the Apocalypse

Chapter 434 The truth back then

In the following days, the Interstellar Martial Arts Tournament was suspended because representatives of the Interstellar Alliance needed to discuss and handle the Void Spider attack, but it was not officially concluded. However, Syndra, Zhao Wuji, and others left Africa and returned to their home countries to deal with affairs of the Dark Alliance and the New Human Empire.

Although they left, they left representatives behind to see how the Interstellar Alliance would proceed. In the following days, officials from the International Alliance, as well as representatives from organizations and countries such as China, the European Human Alliance, and the North American Human Alliance, were invited to Africa to attend a meeting convened by representatives of the Interstellar Alliance.

On the Dawn City side, Yun Lan led Han Xiaoling, Li Xue, and others back to Dawn City first. Li Chenglong, Zhao Liying, Yang Liu, and others stayed behind to observe the situation.

On the morning of November 13th, Lena, Roddick, and Princess Sera arrived at the human settlement on Earth and separately met with representatives from Dawn City and the Chinese government to tell them some things.

After the guests and hosts were seated, the three representatives of the Interstellar Alliance exchanged glances. Lena spoke first, "The main reason I invited you here today is to share this information with you and answer all your questions. First, I want to tell you that the black spiders that attacked us a few days ago are called Void Spiders. Those of you who have fought against them are probably already well aware of their strength. Apart from their names, our Interstellar Alliance knows virtually nothing about these spiders. However, we have gained some understanding of them through combat."

Then, Lena told Li Chenglong and the others all the information the Interstellar Alliance knew about the Void Spiders. The Void Spiders, also known as the Hungry Destroyers, are extremely numerous, appearing and disappearing without a trace. They often emerge from dimensional rifts, then devour all the energy of their target before leaving through the dimensional rifts again.

Their goal is to completely absorb all energy, whether organic or inorganic. The places drained of energy become absolute death zones, where no living thing, not even mechanical lifeforms, can survive. This is why they are also known as the Hungry Destruction Demons.

As Lena explained, she took out a device and showed everyone a video of a planet invaded by the Void Spiders. Li Chenglong saw that the planet had become a landscape of ravines and gullies, the land covered by fine yellow sand, and the rivers and oceans had completely disappeared, leaving only some traces of its former existence, making it look extremely terrifying.

Sera explained, “This is a video we filmed a thousand years ago. The planet no longer exists. After the Void Spider left, the planet became extremely loose. A comet with a diameter of less than 500 meters shattered the planet into pieces. It was then attracted by the gravity of its companion star and disappeared without a trace.”

Roddick continued, "The reason I've invited you all here today is to warn you first. Now that the Void Spiders have appeared, it proves that Earth has been targeted by these destructive demons. I don't need to say more about what happens next, do I?"

Lena sighed, "Actually, whether it's the Kiel aliens or the Setan aliens, the planets of these alien alliances were all destroyed by these monsters, including Meral."

Cecily and Erica were surprised to hear this and said, "No, our planet Merar was destroyed because of the alien alliance, how could it be the Void Spiders? Besides, they did come to invade us at that time. Although we didn't fight to the end because of our father's orders, our planet was still under attack from them the moment we left."

Roddick gestured for the two women to be quiet for a moment, then took out a device and showed it to everyone as he spoke: "Mera was indeed invaded by an alien coalition, but right after they conquered it, hundreds of millions of Void Spiders and Void Centipedes poured out from those dimensional rifts, and that's how Melar was destroyed. You see, this is Melar now, taken half a cosmic year ago."

Cecily and Erica stared at the screen in utter astonishment, their eyes already brimming with tears. Li Chenglong saw that Meral had also been reduced to the same wretched state as the planet in the previous video, and it was uncertain when it would completely disappear.

A profound silence fell over the scene. After a long while, Li Chenglong slowly asked, "Teacher Lena, is there no way to eliminate the monsters that have appeared in this dimensional rift? Now that they have discovered our Earth, are we just supposed to sit here and wait to die?"

Everyone looked at the three representatives of the Interstellar Alliance. After a while, Sera seemed to have made up her mind and said seriously, "After a long period of research by our Interstellar Alliance, especially the joint research by our planets Hyland, Melan, and Roland, we have found a way to solve these problems. However, this plan is extremely difficult and dangerous; it is basically a plan with no chance of survival."

Lena stopped Sera from continuing: "Princess Sera, let me do it. After all, I've always been the one doing this job."

After saying this, she closed her eyes in pain, and then said to Li Chenglong, "To save your Earth from crisis, you must give your life. Actually, I lied to you before. The G-Crystal in your body was not developed by my son at all. It was developed by all the scientists on our three planets over two thousand years, and it is a G-Gem with self-growth and unlimited energy potential."

"G-gem?!" Everyone exclaimed in surprise. In fact, very few people knew that Li Chenglong had a G-gem inside him. Now it has been completely revealed.

Lena nodded: "Yes! Our original plan was to nurture this G-Gem until it grew strong enough to attract most of the void creatures, and then let it explode in a dimensional rift to wipe them out in one fell swoop. But after the research was successful, we discovered that firstly, while there are many people with spatial travel or spatial abilities, very few have the ability to open dimensional spaces. Secondly, the G-Gem's growth is far slower than we expected. If we continue nurturing it at the original rate, even after tens of thousands of years, it still won't grow to the level we require."

She paused for a moment and continued, "But at that moment, I discovered Lee Sung-ryong, who had accidentally opened a dimensional rift and was seriously injured. At that moment, I had an idea. So I implanted the G-Gem, which grows extremely slowly, into his body, and also incorporated the extremely rare Ezamre metal into his body. This would help the G-Gem grow, and also prevent Lee Sung-ryong from dying so easily in battle, thus preventing all our efforts from being in vain."

"What happened next was exactly as I predicted. I kept sending my clones and my grandchildren to Earth, and through various means, I learned that the G-Gem was growing rapidly. Especially recently, the G-Gem's growth rate has far exceeded my expectations, and it can be said that it has far surpassed the energy value needed to attract void creatures. In addition, Li Chenglong also possesses the extremely rare ability to open dimensional walls, which can only be described as a miracle." As Reina spoke, she lowered her head deeply to show her apology.

"Just as I thought!" Reina had barely finished speaking when Long Ling flew out of Li Chenglong's body, transforming into a young man. He said, "After my resurrection, I always felt that there was something wrong with the G-Stone inside Brother Li, but I couldn't quite put my finger on it. After discussing it with Feng Ling, we finally realized that the G-Stone was constantly absorbing Brother Li's energy. In fact, based on his strength, he could be considered almost invincible on Earth, even among the alien alliance, but in actual combat, he wasn't so overwhelmingly dominant, and that's the reason."

Just as Li Chenglong was about to speak, Yang Liu angrily said, "There's no need to send Captain Li to his death. We can take out that damn gem, have Captain Li open the dimensional wall to attract the monsters' attention, and then use a plane or some other flying vehicle to carry the G-Gem and detonate it."

Long Ling said loudly, "No, it's no use. The G gem has now merged with Brother Li. You could say that Brother Li himself is the G gem."

A moment of silence fell over the scene. Whether it was Nangong Yanran, Liu Xuehua representing China, or Zhao Liying, Yang Liu, and others, no one could say a word.
