"The hardcore advocates of spacers were the members of the Flying Star fleet who had been preparing for the expedition across the universe . The best elites of the Cultivation world had been gathered in the fleet, including many Core Formation Stage Cultivators and Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators . Most of them were the leadership of the big sects .
"The majority of homers were made of the low-level Cultivators . Although their Cultivation was not very high, they were supported by most ordinary people .
"Space is boundless and perilous . Nobody could anticipate what the Flying Star Sector would be like after the apocalypse . It was possible that all the planets would be destroyed . If so, human beings would be floating in the sea of stars for all eternity and become a nomadic civilization .
"Core Formation Stage Cultivators and Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators might be able to live through such crisis . But faced with the endless universe, what were the odds of survival for low-level Cultivators and ordinary people?
"The entire system of Cultivation and way of life would be demolished . Without planets as bases, it would be questionable whether or not such a system could be reestablished .
"The two sides had been at loggerheads with each other since the very beginning . The homers decried spacers to be timid cowards who ran away before a fight . Even if they succeeded in escaping via starships, the torch of civilization would only diminish and eventually die down if there were no planets, no natural paradises, and no Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures .
"But the spacers scorned the homers for being idiotic turtles . It seemed to be a valiant decision to stay and try to resist the apocalypse, but it was only irrational . The homers were the real cowards; they did not have the courage to explore the sea of stars . In the end, if the defense array of the homers could not resist the apocalypse, everyone would be killed in the disaster . In comparison, spacers were the real brave ones who would not only continue their civilization but also lead the human beings of the Flying Star Sector to expand their territory and explore new worlds so that the civilization would be brought to a new height!
"The debate between the two sides continued unabated, and their conflicts grew more and more intense . At the beginning, the argument was merely theoretical . But soon, when resources were going to be mobilized to implement a plan to resist the apocalypse, the theoretical argument was about to turn into blood and fire in reality!
"According to the astronomers, the apocalypse was going to arrive seventy-one years later . But both the planetary defense array and the production of thousands of starships were projects that could potentially take a hundred years . Therefore, they must seize every second and take action immediately .
"Resources of the Flying Star Sector were limited . If one of the two plans got more, the other plan would doubtlessly get less .
"Regarding the distribution of resources, the two sides almost raised a civil war!"
Li Yao couldn't help but interject . "Wasn't there a coalition government at that time? Besides, there were bound to be leaders and elders in the six major sects . Since most of them were spacers, why would the low-level Cultivators under their command not listen to them?"
Sha Yulan smiled bitterly . "The Flying Star government was co-established by the six sects . There was not a well-respected monarch who had enough prestige to win everyone's support . Besides, it was not for personal gain, but for the future of the entire civilization!
"If it were for their own benefit, the low-level Cultivators would naturally follow the arrangements of their masters, elders and leaders .
"But right now, it was the lives of tens of billions of people that were at risk!
"If you were a Refinement Stage Cultivator, and you firmly believed that the planetary defense array could resist the apocalypse and that the progress of the civilization would be disrupted if everyone ran out of the planets and simply let the apocalypse destroy all the habitable planets, would you listen to the Core Formation Stage Cultivators and Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators when you believe that only your companions could save everyone, including the crying babies in the cradles?
"Not just the Core Formation Stage Cultivators and Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators . At that time, a series of shocking crimes had happened .
"In the records of Iron Plateau, these crimes were known to be—god slaying!
"At the time, the Flying Star Sector had a highly developed Cultivation civilization . There were three super experts in the Divinity Transformation Stage, above the Nascent Soul Stage, who were all supporters of the ideology of spacers .
"The three Divinity Transformation Stage Cultivators were all true gods of war; they had made great contributions through life and death during the development of the civilization of the Flying Star Sector . They were very respected both among the Cultivators and among the ordinary people .
"When the conflicts began, the three Divinity Transformation Stage Cultivators spared no efforts in endorsing and preaching the spacers' theories to win the ordinary people's support .
"Under their influence, many ordinary people were convinced and willing to run away from planets together with the Divinity Transformation Stage Cultivators toward the sea of stars .
"Right then, an attack against one of the Divinity Transformation Stage Cultivators took place in a congress meeting of the coalition government!
"Yes . An attack against a Divinity Transformation Cultivator!
"The assailant was merely a Refinement Stage Cultivator, and an admin-type one at that . She was the recorder of the meeting!
"A Refinement Stage Cultivator trying to assassinate a Divinity Transformation Stage Cultivator!
"It was not hard to guess that no sooner had her killing intent been revealed than she was discovered .
"However, her purpose was never the assassination; she was merely taking the opportunity to root for the homers .
