Reincarnated As A Li Chapter 471: To Conquer Or To Escape

Chapter 471: Chapter 471: To Conquer Or To Escape

"The audio ssages first," Kael said.

N’bayé nodded, then navigated to a folder displayed on the terminal’s screen. She clicked on it and the folder opened to show a list of audio files.

N’bayé had spent so ti copying the contents of each of the small black boxes on the shelves to the terminal’s virtual space.

All three hundred and thirty-three of them.

Since all of them had been used to serve as a secret password, she had hoped to find so other clue after copying the contents into the terminal.

Unfortunately, there was no clue. The main purpose of the black hard drives was to open the terminal. The audio ssages were rely decoys in the grand sches.

N’bayé began to play each audio ssage for Kael and Katari. She pressed play and the first audio ssage was played for all to hear.

The terminal had retranslated everyone to match the language of the nearest civilization. N’bayé did not yet understand how the computer was able to do that but she acknowledged its ability.

The audio ssage played, the owner of the voice speaking in one of the human languages of Planet Kareem. Kael already knew about this language and could fluently understand it.

He had no problem listening to this first audio ssage.

At first, Kael’s expression was calm. The owner of the voice was rely lanting about so kind of doom, Kael cared but it wasn’t enough to surprise him.

How else would such an advanced civilization be brought down if not for an unavoidable calamity?

N’bayé read Kael’s expression and saw that he was not yet intrigued. She calmly waited for the ssage to end before playing the next one.

One by one, N’bayé played each ssage and it wasn’t until the twentieth play that Kael’s brows finally furrowed slightly.

Kael’s frown was not invalid. The last audio ssage N’bayé had played had affected him in so kind of way that he couldn’t understand.

The owner of that ssage, the owner of that voice. He had poured so much emotion into his lantations that it literally leaked through the screen.

The only person unaffected was Katari who stared blankly and only observed all that was happening unemotionally.

"Keep playing," Kael ordered as he relaxed his frown. N’bayé complied.

The audio ssages continued to play.

By the hundredth play, Kael’s brows were fully furrowed and a solemn look clouded his eyes.

Kael was overco with a strong feeling of defeat and weakness. As if sothing bad was going to happen and no matter how strong he beca, he would never be able to fight against it.

It was an ugly feeling that instantly put Kael in a bad mood.

N’bayé continued playing the audio ssages. One after the other, Kael’s ears were filled with the agonizing cries of the last survivors of this lost and ancient civilization.

So audio ssages were a bit long and so were very short. So explained so minor things in detail and so were just filled with crazy complaints.

All of them were valuable and provided Kael with so insights into what was happening.

However, it wasn’t until that particular ssage was played that Kael’s soul shook.

[Loading...

"So because we tried to leave the universe, the universe treated us like pests that should be eradicated.

We already made sure to keep our numbers at one trillion, we respected the integrity of the fabric of space.

We refrained from traveling back in ti.

We avoided breaking all the rules.

But for so reason, the universe draws a line at multiversal travel.

YOU CAN’T HOLD US BACK HIGHEST WILL! YOU CAN’T!

YOU MUSTN’T, IT’S NOT FAIR!

PLEASE! please..."

...]

*Silence*

The quietness of the room was so unnatural.

Kael’s golden eyes flashed dangerously as he was returned to that mont where he t that entity.

Was the Highest Will actually responsible for what happened to these creatures and their civilization?

What mattered was that this ssage was a reminder to Kael.

"Keep playing," Kael said through gritted teeth. His eyes darted around as if he were watching for so hidden entity in the room.

Kael’s body language had taken a significant turn, going from sowhat relaxed to blatantly paranoid.

N’bayé continued playing the audio ssages and Kael listened attentively to all of them.

Finally, the last of the audio ssages was played for Kael and Katari. This ssage wasn’t like the others.

Where others were mostly lantations or descriptions of their sufferings, the last ssage was a stern warning.

It warned of the danger that ca with being too curious.

The audio ssages ended.

Kael had been able to piece together so information from all that he heard.

This ancient civilization seems to have been prosperous and enjoyed a lot of privileges from the universe. From the looks of it, they seed to have been blessed with intelligence and advanced technology.

Kael could almost guess their affiliated laws, seeing that they were monkeys.

However, this civilization apparently broke so kind of rule that involved trying to leave the universe or achieve multiversal travel.

This just went to show how powerful this civilization had once been. Currently, Kael did not know of any entity that could proudly say they had seen all the edges of the universe.

The known universe was just too big and it would take a lot of effort to have traveled all over it.

Yet, this ancient civilization had been so bored with this current universe, apparently no longer finding the things within interesting, and decided to travel out.

They were then punished for this.

No one was allowed to leave the universe.

Kael didn’t want to think too much about this since it involved the Highest Will. Kael had mixed feelings concerning the matter.

Besides, it had been so long ago and Kael couldn’t see himself trying to leave the universe in the coming future.

He was trying to conquer the universe, not escape from it. He had no reason to leave until every corner of space and ti belonged to the lion race and him.

As for what lay beyond the universe, Kael could not afford to think about it or care at this mont.

What mattered now was the spoils he could extract from this ancient civilization and what could be of benefit to him.

"Have you morized the contents of all the ssages?" Kael asked N’bayé.

N’bayé nodded, "Yes."

Kael turned to look at Katari behind him, "And you?" He asked.

Katari nodded.

Kael actually didn’t need to ask. For Katari, it was usually hard for her to forget sothing even if she wanted to. Each of them had superior mory retention and it would take an extrely long ti or external spirit powers for them to just forget what they heard.

"Okay, N’bayé, delete all the audio ssages next month if you can’t find any other use for them," Kael said.

"Okay," N’bayé agreed and didn’t ask for Kael’s reason.

Kael just didn’t want anything that could serve as a vulnerability right now. It was better to stay clear of anything that would attract the attention of beings he could not fight against.

"Show

the others," Kael demanded and N’bayé started navigating to the terminal’s virtual space.

In her spare ti, N’bayé had sorted out each of the folders and separated them into study groups.

She had been

Kael was able to see all of them. The experint logs, the videos, the genetic research.

The blueprints for different planet-sized gastructures were many, numbering in the hundreds.

Scientific studies and principles, physics, biology, chemistry, psychology, and different schools of thought.

Different languages to learn from and there was also a digital encyclopedia containing information on countless races and the laws they were affiliated with.

And the folder that caught Kael’s attention the most was the sa folder N’bayé had been studying recently.

"Project Ape," Kael muttered.

Of course, he knew what an ape was. It was weird that many creatures existed on Eridoria, yet there was no single ape.

The closest thing to an ape there had been other creatures in their humanoid forms.

And now, Kael was seeing it once again. The word ’Ape’ was displayed just as it had been pronounced back on Earth.

There was no difference, this increased Kael’s suspicion.

"Have you started studying that one?" Kael asked.

"Yes, this one is related to the true origins of humanity," N’bayé said.

Kael’s eyebrows were raised in confusion, "Really?" He asked as he stepped toward the terminal.

This was sothing he wanted to check himself.

Little golden electricity arcs circled Kael’s fingers, runes appeared on his eyes and his aura beca calr.

N’bayé stepped aside for him. She derived so sort of pleasure in seeing Kael discovering new things with her. The look on Kael’s face whenever he found sothing new was sothing she looked forward to.

Kael took a deep breath, his fingers hovering above the glowing keyboard. Whether he would like the answer to the question or not didn’t matter now.

He would learn regardless, knowledge was a weapon he would never be reckless with.
