Chapter 3139 - Revealing Viciousness

With Gu Wuxin’s roar, Li Yao experienced the most intense and ferocious possession in his life.

He used to be a prince-like existence in the world of possession. In the battlefield of his mind and soul, he was not scared of enemies three to five levels higher than himself at all.

After the training of ‘Three Thousand Mortal Dusts, External Clone’, his research on the field of the soul and the consciousness had reached an even deeper level.

His brain was both an unfathomable maze and a fortress full of traps and firing points. Any enemy who launched a mental attack on him recklessly and penetrated into his brain would be committing suicide.

Many of Li Yao’s trump cards were to release his brainwaves and spiritual flames to meld the mental space in his brain with the real world around him. Then, he could drag the enemy’s soul into his own brain and let him do whatever he wanted with it. If he was crueler, he could carve out an independent space in his brain and lock the enemy’s soul inside for fifty or even a hundred years.

Therefore, Li Yao had not paid much attention to Gu Wuxin’s bragging at the beginning. He was even hoping that the guy would have a mental competition and drag the battle into the field that he was best at.

However, when Gu Wuxin’s mental power flooded into his brain like a magma eruption, he immediately realized that something was wrong.

If it were just Gu Wuxin’s soul, no matter how unbelievable it was, even if it was ten times stronger than Black Star Emperor Wu Yingqi in the past, Li Yao, who had just inherited the will of the emperor, might have been able to deal with it and suppress it.

However, although Gu Wuxin’s own mental power was not the best, it was not just his own soul that was flooding into Li Yao’s brain crazily. A hundred or even a thousand souls seemed to be flooding into Li Yao’s brain at the same time.

A thousand souls, a thousand devils, and a thousand ghosts attacked Li Yao’s brain simultaneously, trying to possess him!

“Join us!”

“Link into our super bodies and find a way to save our civilization!”

“We are the eternal light, the absolute justice!”

“Will you really not regret turning me down without even trying?”

“Come on. Come on. I was as stubborn as you were in the old days. But now that you have been connected to a super body, you will be a whole new world. Your life and the entire universe will be different. You will be reborn, and the universe will be reborn. Come on!”

“We know the mysteries of the Pioneer Civilization. We know the methods to jump from the three-dimensional world to the four-dimensional world. Endless laws and mysteries. Come and study them with us!”

For a moment, thousands of wandering souls in various shapes and sizes seemed to be jumping out of Li Yao’s brain.

The wandering souls were either staring at Li Yao with their glittering eyes, waving their tentacles that were full of flagella, or sending complicated, obscure signals to Li Yao with all kinds of weird senses and communication organs in a way that was almost a nightmare.

“Ah!”

Although Li Yao was a monster who had been possessed countless times and could counterattack every time, he still felt that his head was about to explode when his brain was suddenly filled with a thousand ghosts that contained tremendous mental power. The fire of his soul was like a candle in a storm that could be extinguished at any moment.

“Hehehehe!”

“Chirp chirp chirp!”

“Hahahaha!”

The thousand ghosts inside Li Yao’s brain burst into soul-stirring laughter.

“Come on. Come on. The entire universe is going to be covered by the Unified Universal Superinformation sooner or later anyway. What are you persisting for?”

They were dancing weirdly like colorful seaweeds and jellyfish. Very soon, they turned into wriggling fungi and corroded Li Yao’s brain and soul, injecting tremendous information into Li Yao’s memories.

For a moment, Li Yao’s soul seemed to have been torn into a thousand pieces. He experienced a thousand different memories at the same time.

In some of his memories, he had turned into a researcher of the Pangu Clan. Faced with the legacy of the primeval era and the mysteries billions of years ago, he had pondered hard and failed to come up with any answers. He had endured the torment of curiosity and desperation.

In other memories, he had become an expert of the Nuwa Clan and conducted all kinds of experiments wholeheartedly.

In some of his memories, he even turned into a captive of the Flood Tide Legion who had been locked in a laboratory and tasted all kinds of inhuman tortures as an experiment subject.

To be fair, with Li Yao’s current Cultivation and willpower, he could barely bear the physical and mental pain.

The problem was that most of the data he received came from the researchers of the Heavenly Palace who had established the ‘minor super entities’. Most of the researchers were from thirteen different species in the primeval era. Although they were all carbon-based intelligent creatures, their perception systems and thinking processes were too different.

It was like Li Yao had turned into a bent earthworm in one moment and a hibernating turtle in the next. He was about to change into a dozen different life forms and modes of thought in the blink of an eye. It was extremely awkward and uncomfortable.

Many prehistoric species, such as the Houyi Clan, which boasted collective wisdom, were even more different from human beings than earthworms and turtles.

Thankfully, Li Yao had trained with the identity of the Yi family for a while at the bottom of the Gold Crystal Tower, and he was used to the calmness when he was training with his clones.

Otherwise, such intense information would certainly have shattered his original consciousness and memories.

Even so, the endless garbage memories and interference still filled up every one of his brain cells, making the storage and computational space of his brain seriously insufficient. His computational ability plummeted at a visible speed and was almost drowned in the mud of the super body.

“Such terrifying data attacks!

“Other than a natural-born weirdo such as myself, it is difficult for someone with a clear mind and a firm will to maintain themselves under the erosion of tremendous data.

“Li Jialing is right. The brain and the soul of a normal carbon-based intelligent life cannot withstand the overloading of information. Without modification or brainwashing, their brains will definitely explode in a flash.

“Long Yangjun is right. Under the crazy interaction of such a huge amount of information, who can maintain the integrity and clarity of their self? Even the existence of individuals is meaningless!

“However, the ‘supernaturals’ that Gu Wuxin came into contact with were merely the descriptions that the captives of the Flood Tide Legion told his ancestors. They were merely the tip of the iceberg. How terrifying was the real ‘supernaturals’ exactly?

Li Yao felt that his spherical brain cells were packed with square or triangular, sharp souls that were piercing his brain cells from inside out.

It was like his round soul had been stuffed into a triangular, square, or bizarre-shaped container and squeezed into a mess.

Under the suffocating pressure of his soul, it was difficult for him to even struggle, let alone counterattack.

It was not until a streak of redness and a streak of gold flashed past his vision that the mental connection between him and Gu Wuxin’s super body was temporarily cut off like two sharp blades.

Huchi! Huchi! Huchi! Huchi!

Li Yao almost fell to his knees in the ‘sun catastrophe’.

It had only been several seconds since the mental game that he was best at, but he felt as tired as if he had been engaged with a main fleet for three days and three nights. His sweat was spurting out like a fountain, and the water inside his body had almost run out. His mouth was dry, and there was also… fear.

Yes. Fear.

Li Yao was a human being, too. However determined and passionate he was, he had been worried about himself, his family, his home, the civilization of mankind, and the future of the Pangu Universe.

Before, no matter what kind of enemy he was faced with, his mysterious and powerful brain was always his last trump card. Even enemies such as Black Star Emperor Wu Yingqi or the super crystal processor Fuxi could not shake his soul at all.

But this time, Li Yao had to admit that, faced with the ‘supernaturals’ made of the souls of a thousand ancient experts, his mental power, however strong, might be completely suppressed or even… corrupted!

“Are you kidding me? The guy’s soul power is unbelievable. It is much stronger than ours?”

The mental devil shrieked in disbelief. Li Yao had rarely sensed fear in its soul ripples.

“It was not his own soul power, but the soul power of all the members of the super body that had been lurking and growing in the Heavenly Palace for thousands of years.

Lu Qingchen’s voice was no longer frivolous and arrogant. It was more solemn than ever. “Do you still not understand? He—he is not Gu Wuxin. The real leader of the Heavenly Palace, Gu Wuxin, is already dead. Maybe he died the moment he fell into the magma, or maybe he died the moment he was connected to the super body. What is in front of us right now is just a ‘carrier’ of the super body. It is the soul crystal of the experts and scholars with the strongest mental power in the Heavenly Palace over the past thousands of years.

“No. Maybe it is not as simple as the experts of the Heavenly Palace. There are also the ferocious beasts brought by the ‘Dao of Mass Destruction’ and the ‘Dragon Lotus Seed’. They are the last elites of the Pangu Clan and the Nuwa Clan. The flesh and blood of the monsters have all turned into the most fundamental cells. But what about their souls? I’m afraid that they have melted into the super body in front of us in the form of certain ‘nutrition’ and ‘energy’. Gu Wuxin and the other four monsters that look like deities are not their real selves. The overwhelming ocean of foam—or rather, the ocean of cells—is their real appearance!
