The massive inverted pyramid trembled violently, and an immense, overwhelming pressure of mental energy instantly swept across the entire area.
Unfortunately, Lu Xuan had already vanished from his spot a moment before he could exert his mental power on the entire area.

Chapter 528 Multiple Star Systems? A Civilization Experimentation Field!
Inside the inverted pyramid, at the heart of the Valley of the Kings.
This is a huge temple ruin, and also a symbol of the Nuaza aliens' royal power.
Countless enormous coffins were erected on either side of the temple.
The surface of the coffin is carved with reliefs of human figures resembling crows, crocodiles, hippos, hyenas, jackals, black cats, and cobras.
Those were the former rulers and supreme kings of the Nuaza aliens.
After their deaths, they were given the appearance of beasts with human bodies, enjoyed the worship of all people, and at the same time shouldered the rise and fall of the entire civilization.
Of course, this excludes the coffins of past kings.
The most striking feature of the entire temple is undoubtedly the towering statue of the deity at its very center.
Directly beneath the statue was a throne supported by countless weapons and flames.
The throne is constructed from various weapons and armor, with an ever-burning flame beneath it, like lava.
"Is it a surprise?"
"Wang Family Valley is actually a scene like this?"
Seated high on his throne, holding the Staff of Nu'azha, Isilis slowly lowered his head and looked at Lu Xuan, who had appeared out of nowhere not far away.
"It was a bit of a surprise, but not too surprising."
Looking around, Lu Xuan examined the temple, which was full of Egyptian style.
"The Nuaza aliens may have perished, but the seeds of your civilization have already taken root and sprouted on Earth."
Focusing his gaze on Isilis on the throne, Lu Xuan's voice sounded resolute and powerful.
"Somewhere on Earth, your civilization has continued in another form!"
Silently gazing at Lu Xuan, Iselis, who had possessed Sato, naturally knew what Lu Xuan was talking about.
Besides the seeds of telekinesis that have become widely present in the bodies of organisms on Earth, the ancient Egyptian civilization shared a culture strikingly similar to that of the Nu'aza aliens.
The former kings of the Nu'aza aliens were gods who ruled over all things in ancient Egyptian mythology.
This could not possibly be a coincidence, but rather the culture and beliefs left behind on Earth by the Nuaza aliens during their battle with Earth's civilization.
"The Nuaza aliens have not perished, and they never will."
After a brief silence, Isilis directly refuted Lu Xuan's statement.
"As long as I live, the Nuaza civilization will endure forever!"
Lu Xuan gave a disdainful laugh, showing absolutely no interest in Isilis's "eternity."
"Nothing in this world lasts forever; even the universe itself will eventually perish."
"In comparison, I am more interested in the Nuaza civilization itself."
This may be the first time since Lu Xuan's debut that he has shown such a strong interest in the Nuaza aliens.
Would you mind telling me about your civilization?
"After today, I may be the only one in the world who knows the origin of the Nuaza aliens."
It must be admitted that Lu Xuan's current arrogance is even greater than that of Isilis, the former "Emperor of the Universe".
......................................................................................................
Nuaza is the twenty-third planet in a multi-star system located in the outer arm of the Milky Way.
This multi-star system has as many as seven suns.
However, most of the more than one hundred planets surrounding it have suitable environments for the birth of life.
This is obviously an incredible thing.
The conditions for life to develop are extremely demanding; there may not be a suitable planet for life to develop even within billions of light-years.
However, in a multi-star system where life is theoretically impossible to arise, there are dozens, or even nearly a hundred, planets capable of supporting life.
After ruling out all unbelievable speculations, a considerable number of cosmic civilizations believe that this star system is an experimental field set up by a more advanced civilization.
Studying the diversity of civilizations?
Exploring the possibility of the origin of life?
Or should we simply create more diverse ecosystems, like a zoo?
Regardless of the outcome, the cosmic civilization that discovered this special star system remains tight-lipped about it.
Therefore, when this multi-star system of planets began to breed intelligent life and develop a true civilization, they also called themselves "a race favored by the gods".
However, as mentioned earlier, the ecological structure of this multi-star system is extremely complex.
When the first civilization to venture beyond its home planet was born, a chain reaction forced intelligent life on other planets to venture into space.
The different civilizations that have been nurtured by nearly a hundred planets naturally have different philosophies and ways of life.
While the technological levels of each civilization are roughly the same, their ways of life and philosophies of survival are drastically different...
When these civilizations come into contact with each other, there is only one inevitable outcome—war.
After all, while this multi-star system has abundant resources, it doesn't have enough to allow nearly a hundred civilizations of similar level to break out of the solar system together.
Naturally, a competitive environment that was artificially intervened and evolved was born.
Adhering to the primitive law of "survival of the fittest," nearly a hundred different civilizations launched an interstellar war.
It's like a miniature version of the entire macroscopic universe.
Within this multi-star system, every day races and civilizations perish, and every day new regimes and empires rise.
In order to eliminate other competitors as much as possible, each civilization must highly concentrate its strengths and maximize its advantages.
Imperial systems, leader systems, superhuman systems, centralized systems, and a whole host of other political systems that concentrate the power of the entire civilization have become the mainstream in this multi-stellar system.
No one knows how long this massive battle, which affected the entire star system, lasted.
Just as no one knows exactly how many races and civilizations this complex and diverse ecosystem has given rise to.
The only certainty is that the Nuazarians ultimately ended this great war between civilizations, becoming the civilization that slaughtered the most other races in the war.
The race born on the planet Nuaza reveres violence and worships the strong, while simultaneously fearing death and disappearance.
They fanatically believed that only the strong could endure forever, and only the strong could stand out in the "chosen by God" environment.
Especially after winning the final battle of this civilization, the rulers of Nuaza began to consider themselves "gods".
Whatever the civilization that created the multi-star system intended to do.
The Nuaza aliens believe they have surpassed their original creators and are qualified to spread the cosmic truth of "survival of the fittest" among the stars.

Chapter 529 Royal Power and Divine Power
"What an arrogant and foolish idea."
Faced with Lu Xuan's undisguised criticism, Isilis did not refute anything.
This is the philosophy of survival and reproduction of the Nuaza aliens, and also the belief that ultimately enabled them to win this great war of civilizations.
"Although we ended the great war of civilizations, we are not the final winners."
Seated atop that towering throne, Isilis continued to recount the history of his race with an expressionless face.
Beneath his feet, the raging, inextinguishable flames, like the lingering resentment of vanished civilizations, constantly eroded and scorched the throne built of weapons.
The Nuaza aliens of 1.2 billion years ago were certainly powerful, but those civilizations that also grew up in blood and fire were no pushovers either.
Just when the Nuazarians thought they had achieved final victory, a mad civilization detonated the nearest star to them.
In a multi-star system, the delicate balance between stars maintains the vitality of the entire solar system.
When one of the stars is detonated, the closest planet will be the first to suffer a devastating blow.
In just one minute, that strange multi-star system exploded one after another, like dominoes, detonating the planets near it.
Civilizations that had been fighting each other for millions of years became casualties of a multi-star system at that moment.
Only the Nu'aza aliens, with the highest level of technology, used all their strength to drive their home planet off its original orbit in the final moments of the solar system's collapse.
Since then, the once thriving multi-star system has become a giant black hole, recklessly devouring all the surrounding matter.
As for Nuaza becoming a wandering planet?
To prevent the planet's core from completely extinguishing in the endless, cold universe.
The Nuaza aliens began a frenzied invasion and plunder of cosmic energy.
Regardless of whether they have owners or whether the star systems they invade can withstand an oversized planet.
Wherever Nuaza passes, gravity becomes chaotic and stars go out of existence. It was once regarded by other civilizations in the universe as a moving "cosmic catastrophe".
"A cosmic catastrophe?"
Unable to resist touching his chin, Lu Xuan revealed a thoughtful expression.
"Speaking of which, are you sure your star wasn't destroyed by an alien civilization?"
Isilis, seemingly expecting this, was not angry that Lu Sheng had interrupted her.
"Is there a difference?"
With his eyes slightly narrowed, Lu Xuan answered naturally.
"Of course there is a difference!"
"According to you, your civilization at that time actually had a similar level of technology, and you were not even able to leave your own solar system."
"So, in this situation, how did you come to possess such a 'weapon of mass destruction' capable of destroying stars?"
After a slight pause, Lu Xuan firmly believed that the progress of civilization was a spiral process.
Given the immense mass of stars, it is virtually impossible for a civilization still trapped within a star system to possess the ability to destroy a star.
Even if we take a step back and assume that a civilization did develop the ability to destroy a star before leaving it,
This leads to a new problem.
How could a civilization possessing such a "weapon of mass destruction" only reveal it at the very last moment?
To put it bluntly, this is essentially a "nuclear bomb" of a stellar-scale civilization.
Civilizations that research and master this technology are more likely to use it as a form of "nuclear deterrence" rather than as a secret trump card.
"In my opinion, it is the war between you that has caused panic in a more advanced civilization."
"This advanced civilization has witnessed your bloodthirsty and cruel nature, and knows that once you break out of the solar system, you will bring disaster to other civilizations..."
"Therefore, just when the Nuaza aliens were about to achieve final victory, they chose to destroy your star."
Lu Xuan didn't comment on the correctness of this approach; he was simply expressing his feelings.
"What they probably never expected was that the Nuaza aliens were able to escape alive under those circumstances and even become a well-known 'cosmic catastrophe'."
Looking indifferently at Lu Xuan, who showed no fear, Isilis calmly and composedly continued.
"If the advanced civilization you're talking about really exists, it only means they aren't as powerful as you imagine."
"During our 1.2 billion years of wandering, we swept away and destroyed every civilization we could come into contact with."
"Perhaps, one of those culprits was the one that destroyed our star system!"
......................................................................................................
Among the Nuaza aliens, only the strongest are usually qualified to assume the role of leader.
It's not that the Nuaza aliens don't value wisdom, but rather that they can pass on the wisdom of their ancestors through "mummies."
