“So”
Li Yao smiled. “Lu Qingchen is crying and shouting that ‘human beings will never yield’ right now. Are you acting? Good acting skills!”
“It’s not necessarily acting. Didn’t you notice that this guy likes to be hung up and whipped? Maybe he has this… little hobby.”
“To be able to receive unparalleled stimulation when he is whipped brutally, to release the strength hidden in the depths of his soul, and to soar to a higher peak… Believe me, among all the negative emotions, ‘pain’ is definitely the source of strength!
“So insane?”
Li Yao secretly clicked his tongue. However, no matter how delicate his plan is, and no matter how uncanny the source of his strength is, he has miscalculated this time, because he has overlooked two key factors other than the five great masters of kindness.
“Firstly, our existence.
“Secondly, the master of the dark gold giant weapon!
“We don’t need to talk about it. But who is the master of the dark gold giant soldier, why is he on ‘Ultimate Rescue’, and how does he ride a giant soldier without a spiritual residence? I have a vague feeling that the master of the dark gold giant soldier is the real schemer behind the scenes!
“Yes. The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind. The great master is the cicada, and Lu Qingchen is the mantis. Now, let’s see who is the oriole, us, or the master of the dark gold giant weapon.”
“The enemy may have thousands of soldiers under their command, but our biggest advantage is our stealth,” the mental devil said. “Nobody knows of our existence until now. Therefore, our best strategy is to continue lurking in this place and wait for Lu Qingchen and the master of the dark gold giant
weapon to reveal their hideous faces. We will decide what to do when both sides are seriously wounded.
“Then let’s give them a taste of their own medicine!”
Li Yao mumbled, “Last time in the Star Glory Federation, it was Lu Qingchen who took advantage of the conflict between the federation and the Black Wind Fleet. This time, it’s finally our turn to hide behind Lu Qingchen and let the guy take the lead. When we figure out the situation, we will go out and
reap the benefits!”
Thinking like this, Li Yao withdrew most of his telepathic thoughts, leaving only a strand of his telepathic thoughts, which was as thin as a hair, to wrap around the monitoring crystal camera on the bridge and observe the scenes of Lu Qingchen’s crazy acting skills.
Right now, Li Yao’s soul had moved from the spider tank to the mainframe crystal processor in the workshop. His computational ability was ten times higher than before.
Combining the information he had retrieved from the ‘Fuxi System’ and recalling the information transmission patterns and the data-interaction protocols of the entire fleet, Li Yao started a brand-new training session. He changed the state of his soul and strengthened his soul according to the model of
the ‘Fuxi System’.
It was… a mysterious, wonderful feeling.
The more he trained, the further he was from the traditional standard human beings.
He suddenly tured into a speck of dust and crawled into a spiritual puppet deep inside a starship, observing the monotonous world around him with cold and dull crystal cameras.
Then, it turned into the entire sea of stars. The hundreds of thousands of starships turned into hundreds of thousands of clusters of blinking data swirls that were flowing, spinning, splitting, and condensing in his senses. Every piece of data was like a burning, brilliant meteor shower that crashed into
his soul brutally.
Life was information. Life was the torrent of data. The entire universe was nothing but an ocean of information and data colliding, surging, converging, and changing.
For a moment, Li Yao had a deeper understanding of the sentence.
‘When he was exploring the ocean of information and ‘reading’ and ‘analyzing’ every starship of the fleet at his will, he had asked himself for a moment whether or not he was still a human being.
However, who could say for sure what a human being should look like?
From the most primitive microorganisms to the undersea fungi, from the ferns and mud bugs under the volcanic ash to the monkeys in the jungle and the naked apes in the rebar and cement, life had never stopped evolving. Was the ‘naked ape’ the most perfect life form without the slightest
modification? Was it the endpoint of evolution?
Of course not.
The path of mankind was the sea of stars, or even the high-dimensional space beyond the three-dimensional universe. It was a new world that was full of wonderful and unpredictable changes. They had to evolve step by step until they were unrecognizable or even appalling.
The difference between future human beings and modern human beings might be even greater than that between modern human beings and trilobites.
Cultivators stood at the top of the human civilization. Naturally, they had to be in the vanguard and explore the direction of evolution in advance. Such explorations were bound to be misinterpreted, despised, or resisted by many.
It was lonely at the top. The experts in the leading era were destined to be lonely.
In this magnificent and desolate state of mind, Li Yao suddenly somewhat understood Lu Qingchen.
The future and the present were a pair of irreconcilable contradictions. Evolution meant change. There was always a price to pay for change. It was never something that could be accomplished peacefully and peacefully.
It was true that Lu Qingchen and Mo Xuan were too hasty, but when had an evolution ever been short of hasty explorers? Who could accurately determine when it was not too hasty and when it was perfect for a perfect evolution?
No one knew when the time for evolution would come.
No one could guarantee that they would not lose themselves on the path of evolution, either.
But as the saying goes, understanding does not mean agreeing.
Maybe evolution meant bleeding, but Li Yao wanted to shed his own blood first, and Lu Qingchen wanted to shed everyone’s blood except his. That was the biggest difference between them.
“Then, let’s play our roles as best we can. Let’s crash into each other brutally and determine the future of the civilization of mankind with our blood, bones, and souls. Then, we will let the future billions of years later decide whether we are right or wrong!
With a telepathic thought, all the telepathic thoughts retreated. His soul was like a flower that had been carved out of crystal. It was translucent and flowing with gold and blood.
His belief had never been so clear, firm, and strong.
Another 24 hours passed.
Shua! Shua! Shua! Shua!
‘The pictures of ‘Ultimate Rescue’ and the other parts of the fleet of the Fuxis were crystal clear in his soul ripples. He knew the situation of the members of the Star Glory Federation like the back of his hand.
Lu Qingchen was still being tortured. He was in so much pain that his soul had been torn into shreds. He was as feeble as an earthworm that had been dried in the sun and could not be gathered again.
His soul was dissected into a lot of data and inputted into the database of the ‘Fuxi System’.
Li Yao bet that there must be something hidden in the data.
In the beginning, the five masters had been monitoring his status all the time, fearing that he might be up to no good. However, after a day and a night of torture, his soul was almost entirely gone. Lu Qingchen could do nothing except struggle and curse. The five masters were less vigilant now.
A great war was coming. They had a lot of military affairs to attend to after all. It was impossible for them to waste all their time on the puppet king, Lu Qingchen.
In the beginning, it was the five great sages who took tums to monitor Lu Qingchen. Gradually, the number of people grew smaller and smaller. In the end, when all the secrets inside Lu Qingchen’s brain were about to be extracted, the five great sages simply vanished, leaving the medical team and the
Meditation Healers to continue their interrogation.
“Idiot.”
Li Yao thought to himself.
However, when he thought of the fact that the master of the dark gold weapon had not shown up yet, he was greatly alarmed. He did not know who the idiot was yet.
As for Chu Zhixiao, Yun Haixin, Yuan Kou, and Guan Qixing, the four members of the yaksha squad, they were sent into four metal cocoons after a long hypnotizing conversation and a full body examination, treatment, and disinfection.
Li Yao could sense that their brains were connected to their crystal processors and integrated into the world of the ‘Fuxi System’, where tremendous data was being exchanged instantly.
Li Yao estimated that they were erasing the memories of the past few days so that they would forget the influence of the puppet king.
Li Yao was secretly anxious, not knowing whether or not he should make a move in the ‘Fuxi System’ to remind the four members of the ‘Yaksha Squad’ of something.
‘What dispelled the idea was the situation of the Fuxi fleet.
Starting from the thirty-first hour, the fleet of the Fuxi fleet, which had been preparing for battle, suddenly relaxed.
All the ‘soldier bees’ and the ‘worker bees’ were kneeling on the ground and praying silently. Their dull brainwaves gathered together like a torrent of ice and flowed toward the five supreme fortresses. Then, they gathered on ‘Ultimate Rescue’ through the supreme fortresses. The message they sent was
hoping that the gods would bless them and allow them to win the final battle.
Then, the mainframe crystal processors of all the starships increased their computational ability to the maximum. Buffer gel was injected into the cabins one after another. Everybody crouched in the seats that looked like eggshells and allowed the gel to cover them.
The power units of the starships gradually dimmed, but the space jump unit was getting hotter and brighter. The engine compartment was sending endless energy into the space jump unit. Centered at the center, the entire warship gradually became twisted and transparent.
They were like millions of pebbles tossed into a pond. Ripples were spreading out on the surface of the calm water. All the starships were shaking and glittering in the ripples.
Even the thousands of crystal brains on the bridge of ‘Ultimate Rescue’, which were carrying the ‘Fuxi System’, were shivering violently, too. They sent out surging data and issued solemn and cruel commands to all the mainframe crystal processors of the starships.
The main force of the Sanctuary Alliance—the fleet of the Fuxi Clan—was finally going to launch a fatal strike at the heart of the Imperium of True Human Beings!
