His soul was tangled with the database of the Fuxis. Li Yao could clearly sense that the thousands of tentacles of the Fuxis had penetrated into the depths of the Gold Crystal Tower through the Spiritual Nexus like threads of light and pierced into Xiao Ming and Wen Wen’s bodies mercilessly, including all
the crystal processors that were controlled by the two little guys.
It was like a viper injecting fatal venom into the veins and organs of its prey.
The super crystal processors nearby exploded, burned, and perished one after another, leaving an empty shell that was as black as a skull.
The spiritual puppets that were responsible for guarding the Gold Crystal Towers had fallen into the hands of the Fuxis, too. They were either paralyzed after a series of dazzling electric arcs or ‘rebellion’ and attacked the spiritual puppets that were still loyal to Xiao Ming and Wen Wen.
The entire Gold Crystal Tower was in a mess. The thousands of runes carved on the surface of the tower were all emitting hasty and pale colors, like the silent hideous laughter of the Fuxi.
Xiao Ming’s and Wen Wen’s chests were rising and falling rapidly. Their eyeballs, which were hidden under their eyelids, were spinning rapidly. At first, there was only a trickle of blood flowing out from the corner of their mouth, but later, it intensified into a large mass of blood spurting out from the
depths of their throats.
Their tiny limbs were all extending to the outside of the neural interaction liquid, as if they were drowning people who were trying their best to grasp a nonexistent life-saving straw. They were also like people who were deeply trapped in a nightmare, desperately trying to escape from one nightmare
after another in an infinite loop.
“No!”
Li Yao could tell that Li Yao was furious and heartbroken.
He knew that the two bodies of flesh and blood in front of him were merely two of the thousands of bodies that Xiao Ming and Wen Wen could manipulate. Even if the two bodies were… dead, it did not mean that Xiao Ming and Wen Wen were destroyed.
But when he saw that the two delicate little people had fallen into such a perilous and painful situation right in front of his eyes, he still felt deep, deep pain, guilt, self-blame, and fury that seemed to belong to a crazy devil.
“AHHHHHHHHHHE!”
Li Yao roared, “Stop! Don’t touch them, you bastard!”
“Hehe. Do you know that they are the central nerves of the defense line of the capital city?
Fuxi was still smiling casually. “What do you think I’ve been doing by consuming so much computational ability and strategic assets over the past few days? Do you think I’m trying to crush the imperial army and occupy the capital city?
“No. The imperial capital is, after all, a solid fortress built by the Imperium of True Human Beings and the endless resources in the center of the sea of stars. Even if we control the geosynchronous orbit, it is impossible to clear all the military bases and shelters above and below the ground within several
years. The idea of taking over the imperial capital by force is too simple and brutal.
“It was difficult for the capital city to fall in the first place. It’s a pity. It’s a pity that the civilization of mankind today has embarked on the old path of the Pangu Civilization and entered the era of comprehensive informationization. The entire society, including the military system, is firmly controlled by
the crystal processors and the Spiritual Nexus.
“As long as your crystal processors are compromised, the impregnable defense line will be demolished within one second.
“Without the lock of the crystal processor, however airtight your land-based air defense system is, you will not be able to lock onto the enemy with your naked eyes or manually.
“Without the control of crystal processors, the enormous air circulation and purification system below the ground will be paralyzed. The people below the ground will not be able to get any oxygen. The more people flee underground, the more oxygen they will consume, and the faster they will die!
“Without the Spiritual Nexus and the tactical link, your starships won’t know where they are. They won’t know what is going on on the frontline or how many allies are around them. They will think that they are the last lone starship in the sea of stars and can only run around like headless flies. They won’t
have any combat ability at all.
“Right. You’ve deployed a lot of battle puppets and drones in the sky and on the ground, which are all controlled by crystal processors and the Spiritual Nexus. What if the commands they receive are not from the command center of the capital city but from my ‘Ultimate Rescue?
“Therefore, since the beginning of the war, I’ve been looking for the central nerves of the entire Spiritual Nexus that are hiding in the depths of Empyrean Terminus. The reason I launched a tide-like attack without caring about the cost was merely to increase the pressure on the battle network of the
imperium so that the central nerves will overdraft their computational ability and expose themselves more easily.
“Thad estimated that I would be able to find and hack it after three days of bombardment. I didn’t expect that the two cunning creatures would only show up ten days later. I was wondering what was wrong with my deduction, but I didn’t know that they were in such a weird life form that was very similar
to me, Lu Qingchen, and you right now. So, you are both from the Star Glory Federation? No wonder I didn’t see it coming.
While talking, the speed of the invasion did not slow down at all. Li Yao could even see that the glittering threads of light tied up Xiao Ming and Wen Wen like nets and crawled into their brains through their orifices.
“The Star Glory Federation is indeed an interesting place. It is a remote area in the sea of stars, but so many marvelous life forms have been produced. It seems that I will have to visit the place and look for more possibilities for the development of civilization after I integrate the resources in the center of
the sea of stars.
Fuxi’s voice was as calm as a scalpel. “What are those two kids exactly? Were they created by Lu Qingchen? Or is it… Professor Mo Xuan? They don’t seem to exist in Lu Qingchen’s memory pieces. Did they just be born not long ago? They do have endless potenti
“You seem to be angry. So, the two kids are related to you. Can you tell me their secrets?”
Before Li Yao could respond, the ‘barrier’ between reality and the virtual world seemed to have been shattered by something, Li Yao ‘saw that the thousands of light threads that Fuxi had stabbed into Xiao Ming’s and Wen Wen’s bodies were pulled out and dragged the two glittering balls of brightness out,
of the two kids’ bodies, through the entire Spiritual Nexus, and into ‘Ultimate Rescue!!
Fuxi had swallowed the core data of Xiao Ming and Wen Wen with unbelievable methods!
“Forget it.”
Fuxi smiled. “Let me digest and absorb all their data into my database and study them myself.”
Li Yao saw that, in the absolute darkness, Xiao Ming and Wen Wen were like confused fetuses that had been confined in two airtight crystal shells. They were connected to the enormous cluster of brightness that represented the core of the consciousness of the Fuxi Clan through countless nerves and
veins.
Through the threads of light, Fuxi injected something into the two kids inside the crystal shell and snatched something from them.
The two little fellows, whose bodies used to be pure and flawless, were now covered in layers of colorful data streams because of the absorption and digestion of the Fuxis. They seemed to be blocking the blue sky and the white clouds, or a carpet of flesh-eating fungi that was biting the living creatures
nonstop.
As the Fuxi invaded, swallowed, and digested, the two little guys were getting closer and closer to it. They were about to fall into its control, like two asteroids that had crossed the threshold and fallen into a black hole.
The two little guys were still asleep. Or rather, they had been suppressed by the Fuxi and could not free themselves from their nightmares. But the pitiful resistance in their eyes made Li Yao more furious than ever.
“Let them go.”
Li Yao felt that he had turned into a continuously expanding crystal bomb and was ready to perish together with the Fuxis. He roared crazily, “I told you to let them go! Let them go!”
“It’s rare that your anger index is higher than the limit of human anger that I’ve collected over the past thousand years.
Fuxi was somewhat surprised, but he soon smiled. “But what’s the use of that? The so-called seven emotions and six desires are just a combination of data and bioelectricity. Without the enhancement of absolute strength, all the fury will be gone.
“Right now, the pivot of the Spiritual Nexus in the capital city has been taken over by me. The battle of the capital city is coming to an end. I can devote 90% of my computational ability to you. How can a lonely ghost like you and two ‘babies’ who haven’t fully grasped their potential compete with me?
“Therefore, give up the meaningless anger and resistance and just watch me finish everything. You will be next. You can be part of me and reunite in my mind.
While talking, miserable electric arcs were flashing deep inside the cluster of light.
Li Yao felt that the ‘density’ of the darkness had increased by dozens, hundreds, thousands of times!
He was truly like an empty can that had been tossed into the deep sea and crushed into a nonexistent ball by the pressure of the seawater.
He was more like a mosquito, an insignificant ant that had been wreathed in clusters of amber and suffocated for billions of years without being able to escape.
‘When the pressure was raised to the maximum, there seemed to be no pressure at all. He was just an ordinary dust floating in the boundless universe. Faced with the unpredictable Heavenly Dao, there was nothing he could do except to go with the flow.
However.
However.
However.
Even if he was truly an ant and a speck of dust, an insignificant existence compared to the Heavenly Dao and the universe, as a father, how could he stand by and watch his child be swallowed alive in such a cruel way?
“I! Called! You! Hand!”
CRACK!
Li Yao felt that a seal that had sealed his soul for billions of years and billions of lightyears had been shattered.
He expanded, expanded, expanded, expanded, expanded, expanded, and expanded in the boundless darkness, under the dazzling brilliance of the bewildered Fuxi, and under the bewildered and surprised cries of the two little guys!
