Li Yao felt a chill run down his spine.
Then, a subtle ripple spread out in the depths of his soul, which was his unyielding fighting will.
He had underestimated the mainframe behind the scenes of the Holy Alliance time and time again. But the mainframe had underestimated him, too, Vulture Li Yao!
Fuxi was not omniscient. From its point of view, even though it could infer the direction of most situations with its amazing computational ability and all-encompassing initial data, it would never be able to calculate the existence of Li Yao, the ‘unusual one’.
Therefore, the only thing that Fuxi knew about was that there was a Star Glory Federation at the edge of the sea of stars, and that there was something very useful to him inside the soul of Lu Qingchen, the extraterrestrial devil from the Star Glory Federation. But he did not know where it came from, nor
was it the most important thing for him.
As long as it completely absorbed Lu Qingchen’s soul and memories, it would naturally figure out the whole story and rekindle its interest in Li Yao.
By then, its hunting and hunting abilities would be hundreds of times higher than before.
“T still don’t understand. Transforming into a human being… What benefits can it bring for it to be so reckless?”
Li Yao asked.
“There are many benefits. The most important thing is not to turn into a human being, but to break the barriers that seal you so that you can free yourself from the endless destiny that has lasted for hundreds of thousands of years. You will have unparalleled freedom and control over your own life.
“The simplest example,” the mental devil said, “is that the current Fuxi is still restricted by certain permissions. As long as we have the permissions, we can control or even destroy it. But assuming that it has been enlightened, enlightened, or reborn, it will no longer be bothered by any permissions or
commands when it has a ‘heart of life’. Even if the living Pangu Clan and the Nuwa Clan stand in front of it and input many passwords into its mainframe crystal processor array, it will still be able to slap Pangu, Nuwa, or any creator to death.
“Of course, it is one thing whether or not it will kill the Pangu Clan and the Nuwa Clan without any hesitation, and it is another thing whether or not it has the ability to kill them. The latter is as important as we must have the ability to break the natural law. Do you understand?”
“.. [lmow a thing or two,” Li Yao said.
“Allin all, the current Fuxi is not the complete version. Or rather, it is not a Fuxi at all. It is just a ‘large crystal processor or a super program’ with the code name ‘Fux‘’. It is well aware of that.
The mental devil came to a conclusion. “Only by absorbing the ‘High-Dimensional Universe Virus’ from Lu Qingchen’s soul can it be reborn into a real ‘Fuxi’ that dominates the sea of stars and the universe beyond any control. It can even become the god of the Pangu Universe!
“Think about it. Possessing the extraordinary computational ability and enormous database of the Fuxis, as well as Lu Qingchen’s fearless, arrogant, and unpredictable personality, such a brand-new Fuxis are the ‘ultimate demon kings’ that we are going to face. What a terrifying existence they will be!
Li Yao thought carefully for a moment.
If he still had his hair right now, it would definitely be sticking up like an antenna.
“Of course, it is just my speculation. Since the Fuxi does not know as much about the secrets such as ‘high-dimensional cosmic virus’ and ‘the mysteries of the soul of human beings’ as we do, it is unlikely that it knows our purpose as clearly as we do.
The mental devil continued. “It is very likely that… it discovered that there was something in the depths of Lu Qingchen’s soul that was beneficial for it based on its natural instincts. Also, through the feedback of Lu Qingchen’s soul, it discovered that it was incomplete and not satisfied, and it developed a
strong desire to devour Lu Qingchen.
“It doesn’t necessarily understand the concept of ‘being a human being’, nor does it want to break its destiny. It only feels that it will become stronger, smarter, and freer after it swallows Lu Qingchen. It will become the supreme god of the Pangu Universe. That’s about it.”
“I’s a pity that its plan went wrong.” Li Yao was greatly relieved.
“Yes. Something went wrong. It failed to calculate two things.
The mental devil replied, “Firstly, it did not foresee that Lu Qingchen would be so resolute that he would rather be doomed than be melded with it in a certain weird form. As a result, Lu Qingchen blew up his own soul and turned into powder.
“The soul itself is invisible and intangible. It is just a subtle ripple that is even more fragile than radiation, high-energy particle streams, or spiritual magnetic fields. The soul fragments are like flowing fire in the wind that can be extinguished in the blink of an eye. Therefore, while Lu Qingchen’s soul
fragments are still ‘fresh’ before they are completely gone, the Fuxi must reassemble them in order to carry out the next step of the integration.
“Even though it was the critical moment of the final war in the capital city, there was nothing that Fuxi could do except to summon most of his computational ability.
“However, the second problem is that it did not see us coming, nor did it expect that we would have such a weird life form. We are the source of the ‘high-dimensional universe virus’, the ‘source of infection’, and we have seen through its purpose!
“Makes sense. We are the virus and the source of the infection. Who’s scared of who?”
Li Yao rubbed his hands. There was only one question left. “Then, what’s wrong with the yaksha squad? Why did the Fuxi drag their souls into their core database?”
“Well…”
The mental devil thought for a long time. Then, it suddenly realized something and exclaimed, “I understand now. It is indeed a marvelous algorithm and an unparalleled technique!
Li Yao asked, “What do you understand?”
“You see, Lu Qingchen’s last self-detonation was very sincere, It was not faked at all. He could not have been more dead. Normal methods could not have assembled his soul pieces and revived him, could they?
The mental devil paused for a moment. Without waiting for Li Yao’s reply, it continued. “But don’t forget what Lu Qingchen did when he hacked into the brains of the five Grand Elders in order to seize the mainframe crystal processor of ‘Ultimate Rescue’. What did he do to the souls of the four members of
the yaksha squad?”
Li Yao was dazed for a moment. He quickly recalled Lu Qingchen’s methods.
He had figured it out!
In order to invade the central nerves of the entire Sanctuary Alliance, Lu Qingchen had set up traps on the battlefield of ‘Eternal Brightness’ and infiltrated the brains of the four members of the yaksha squad with different illusions. He had also planted a powerful virus deep inside their souls.
It was even beyond the category of ‘brain virus’. Lu Qingchen had implanted part of his soul into the brains of the four members of the yaksha squad in a mysterious way.
‘Therefore, when Lu Qingchen pretended that his soul was extremely weak and was whipped by the five masters of kindness, his four remaining souls were able to sneak out of the brain of the four members of the yaksha squad and seize everything!
Of course, the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind. At that time, Lu Qingchen did not know that Fuxi was the real schemer. Naturally, his scheme was resolved easily.
But part of his soul had been lurking inside the brains of the four members of the yaksha squad and melded with the souls of Chu Zhixiao, Yun Haixin, Guan Qixing, and Yuan Kou!
“If we consider ‘reconstructing the soul’ as a ‘jigsaw puzzle’, it will be much easier to understand.
The mental devil explained, “Right now, Lu Qingchen’s soul has been shattered to the minimum. It is like countless pieces of colorful, irregular, and missing jigsaw pieces. Even the computational ability of the best Fuxi in the universe cannot assemble them into a perfect picture in a short time.
“However, the soul that Lu Qingchen left in the brain of the four members of the yaksha squad is like four larger pieces of a puzzle. With the four larger pieces as the foundation, it will be much easier to attach other pieces of the puzzle to them, won’t it?
In order to train his computational ability and his brain agility, Li Yao often played jigsaw puzzles, too. For a refiner, assembling all kinds of 3D structural designs was a mandatory major. Therefore, Li Yao immediately understood what the mental devil meant.
Everything was difficult at the beginning. It was indeed very difficult to sort through thousands upon thousands of pieces of a jigsaw puzzle and find the “first piece of a jigsaw puzzle’, not to mention the self-destruction of Lu Qingchen’s soul. How could there be thousands upon thousands of pieces?
However, the soul fragments that Lu Qingchen left in the brains of the four members of the yaksha squad did not explode, at least not completely. There were still a lot of regular clues left.
It was like the first piece of a puzzle!
With the unparalleled computational ability of the Fuxis, and with the four jigsaw pieces as clues, it was possible that they could accomplish an unprecedented feat by assembling the soul fragments that had completely self-detonated, resurrecting Lu Qingchen, and then merging and swallowing him!
I can’t let it succeed!
With the computational ability and database of the Fuxis, a strong fleet of the Fuxis, countless fearless ‘soldiers’ and ‘worker bees’, and Lu Qingchen’s stubbornness, cunningness, and tenacity.
Li Yao simply did not dare to imagine what a terrifying “Final Devil King” he would be.
Besides, if the Fuxi devoured Lu Qingchen’s memories, they would certainly know that he had enlightened the star spirits such as Professor Mo Xuan and indirectly enlightened Lu Qingchen. It would not be hard to infer that he was the source of the infection.
What if it not only swallowed Lu Qingchen but also him?
Who else in the entire Pangu Universe could stop it?
Although Li Yao had experienced countless soul collisions in his life and was known as the ‘little prince of possession’, technically speaking, Li Yao was the one who had invaded the ‘brain’ of the Fuxis and was trying to possess them.
Since it was the home field of the Fuxi Clan, with the enhancement of tremendous computational ability and Lu Qingchen’s willpower, they had a huge advantage.
