Chapter 158: Oppression by Alien Races
Translator: Daoist6fubtiW
After a brief chat with these people, Su Yang contemplated going to destroy the Silver Moon City.
However, as soon as this idea crossed his mind, a sense of danger enveloped him.
This was a premonition in his danger perception.
It indicated that there would be danger if he proceeded with this plan.
But why?
Su Yang was suddenly puzzled. What danger could there be when he had already crushed the Silver Moon Clan?
Could it be that more powerful alien races were involved?
Su Yang frowned; he realized he had very little information about this.
So, he turned to Li Wen for answers.
“Lord Li, I want to ask you something. Do the Silver Moon City still have any tricks up their sleeves? Why do I feel a sense of danger when I want to destroy Silver Moon City?”
“Ah…” Li Wen’s heart trembled. My goodness, Senior Su wants to destroy an alien race city? That’s absolutely not allowed. Even if he has the strength, he shouldn’t attempt it.
But does Senior Su not know the reason behind this?
Li Wen, filled with doubts, explained, “Senior, there is a reason for that. In the origin of the galaxy, the number and strength of the alien races are more than ten times greater than that of the human race. If we genuinely take action to annihilate any alien city, we will immediately face retaliation from other alien races. That would spell our doom.”
Su Yang frowned and said, “But according to what you’ve said, with a tenfold difference in strength, the alien races have the power to annihilate our human race anytime. How have we survived until now?”
Li Wen continued his explanation, “This… The alien races only use the term ‘alien’ in reference to all the races in the universe, except our human race. With so many different races, it’s impossible for them to unite.”
“If they were to really start fighting, our human race also has the ability to perish along with some of those alien races. So now, those alien races who want to annihilate our human race are slowly wearing down our strength, not wanting to engage us directly.”
“Among the alien races, there are also those who don’t want to battle with our human race. They’ve simply signed treaties as part of the Alien Alliance.”
“These treaties restrict resources and counterattacks against human cultivators. As long as the human race dares to take action against alien cities, they will unite to annihilate the human cities that act.”
“This has resulted in our human race becoming increasingly weaker and in a more perilous situation.”
Su Yang was starting to feel displeased. “So we can only endure the oppression of the alien races and can’t fight back? What kind of logic is this? They’ve come to our doorstep, and now, despite having the power to retaliate, we can’t strike back simply because the aliens have more allies?”
This was just illogical. The human race was under attack, and they had the ability to fight back, yet they didn’t dare to strike back because the aliens had more allies.
Otherwise, with everyone banding together, if all the alien races launched a comprehensive offensive, the human race wouldn’t be able to withstand it.
The more Su Yang thought about it, the angrier he became, and he couldn’t help but feel uncomfortable with this situation.
Li Wen, with a bitter smile, said, “Yes, we can’t attack the alien cities, at most, we can act against the aliens elsewhere. We have to endure it because we are weak. If you’re behind, you’ll be beaten.”
Su Yang still felt that something wasn’t right. In the end, humans were just another alien race among all the others. Why were they being targeted by all the alien races? Didn’t the human race have any allies? After asking this question, Su Yang finally got an answer.
The Universal War…
So the difficult situation they were in now was essentially caused by their ancestors.
Su Yang couldn’t really blame the ancestors for what they had done in the past, but the human race was undoubtedly suffering from their past actions.
“Even so… we can’t let the alien races oppress us,” Su Yang said. He couldn’t just watch the human race be suppressed, slowly eroded, like a frog in slowly boiling water, until they were completely wiped out.
Resource restrictions? We can wipe out your cities, but you can’t touch ours?
Trading with other alien races is perfectly normal. If the human race wants to buy from the aliens, they have to pay a higher price? These problems were only temporary.
Just wait… he would solve them one by one…
And he would definitely solve them!
In his chat with Li Wen, Su Yang also learned about some other issues, such as the realms of cultivators.
After reaching the Nascent Soul realm, cultivators couldn’t merely rely on the world’s origin as they did before.
The world’s origin was just a more advanced type of spiritual liquid.
But relying solely on infusing spiritual liquid wasn’t enough to cultivate true power.
Beyond the Nascent Soul realm, each realm required special resources from the cosmos to break through and cultivate.
The production of these special resources was either in extremely dangerous areas or controlled by some of the alien races.
Hardly any of these resources were in the hands of the human race because they would be looted.
If they didn’t have the strength to defend these areas, they wouldn’t be able to keep these resources.
The Unity realm was above the Nascent Soul realm.
Cultivators needed to refine their elemental spirit.
In the origin of the galaxy, some dangerous places produced spiritual objects that could enhance elemental spirits.
Some special places also sped up elemental spirit cultivation, and Unity realm cultivators would enter these areas to train.
These special places were controlled by some of the alien races.
For now, even if the human race wanted to train there, it wasn’t clear if they could. And even if they could, the cost for the human race was much higher than for the aliens. This was what they meant by resource restrictions on the human race.
That’s because, not all alien races were willing to fight the human race.
For the human race, the current difficult situation was the result of their own actions.
Su Yang couldn’t say for sure whether their ancestors were right or wrong, but the human race was now in such a predicament of their own making.
But even with all this, Su Yang couldn’t just stand by and watch the human race be oppressed.
To be slowly eroded and wiped out, like the proverbial frog in boiling water, until their entire race was destroyed.
Resource restrictions? We could wipe out your cities, but you can’t touch ours?
Trading with other alien races is normal, and they will sell their goods to the human race at ten or a hundred times the price?
These problems were only temporary.
Just wait… he would solve them one by one…
And he would definitely solve them!
