Chapter 3254: Playing Along
Deep inside Red Pole’s brain…
Thousands of silver threads replaced his micro vessels and nerves and scanned the shivering of his every brain cell. He cracked the soul of Red Pole in such a way and read every piece of information hidden in the deepest part of his soul.
However, when thousands of silver threads reached the deepest part of the Red Pole Star’s soul, they also shattered a bloody crystal that was wreathed in endless lightning.
For a moment, the red lightning gathered into a torrent, and the torrent gathered into an ocean. The ocean raised surging tides, and the tides of thought counterattacked and even corrupted the will of the earth lurking inside Li Yao’s body!
The Red Pole Star’s face turned mysterious and subtle again.
It was as if an invisible mask had cracked, revealing a more real version of himself that even he did not know.
“Huh?”
Controlling ‘Li Yao’, the will of the planet raised his eyebrow. “What is this? An unprecedented strength…”
“Zhang Daniu is in a secret chamber right below your feet. Of course, he is not drunk. He is in the clearest state of his life, like a shining mirror that is ready to reflect all the information from the battlefields of the great universe.
The Red Pole Star replied ‘honestly’, “As for the control system of the ‘Invincible Thunderbolt Super Brainwave Amplifier’, no, it is not available here. We don’t need it because the entire system has been activated.
“Has it been activated?”
The picture around the will of the planet showed dozens of super-large antennas on the periphery of the island that were on fire. “It’s impossible. It will take three days for your system to be fully prepared. Besides, so many antennas have been destroyed by the bombardment, and I’ve occupied the control room. Other than you, nobody else should have the clearance to activate the system. You don’t trust other people at all. You wouldn’t give the most important control rights to other people easily, would you?”
“That’s right. Of course, I don’t trust people easily. But I don’t understand why you are so na?ve as to believe every word I say. You believed me when I said that the preparation work would take three days? If you are so na?ve, how did you learn to be the ultimate devil?”
The Red Pole Star’s eyes were brighter and brighter, with none of the pain and depression from a moment ago. “What if I told you that the ‘Invincible Thunderbolt Super Brainwave Amplification System’ had finished all the preparation work the day before you arrived, and that the real antennas were not what you saw, and that the super-large iron towers with complicated structures were just disguises, and that the real antennas were hidden in the depths of the island for the purpose of preparing for you, ‘College Student Li Yao’? Would you believe me?”
“What? That’s impossible!”
The will of the planet said, “Even if the ‘Invincible Thunderbolt Super Brainwave Amplification System’ does exist, it is not something that can be built and prepared in one to two months. Before that, ‘College Student Li Yao’ had not been awakened at all. Unless you are a prophet, how could you have guessed that there was something wrong with the guy?
“Of course, I didn’t know of ‘College Student Li Yao’ a month ago, but does it matter?
The Red Pole Star smiled. “I know that most of your strength has to be deployed to the battlefield of the universe. You can only summon 1% of your strength to suppress my ‘back-end harassment’. Therefore, even the omnipotent ‘Will of Earth’ or ‘Flood Tide’ does not have many tactics to choose from. The most fatal one is ‘target drug’. Sneak into the nest of the Ark Foundation and behead me.
“However, if the ‘target drug’ is to be effective, the most important thing is to not raise my suspicion, and what kind of person can absolutely not raise my suspicion? Naturally, it will be a different me, or someone who is even more like Li Yao!
“Therefore, even if there is no ‘College Student Li Yao’, there will be a ‘High School Student Li Yao’, a ‘Staff Li Yao’, a ‘Soldier Li Yao’, a ‘Unemployed Li Yao’, or a ‘Housewife Li Yao’. In short, as long as someone who looks like Li Yao comes to the Ark Island and sneaks to my side, don’t trust him or her!”
“So…”
Staring at the soul of Red Pole that was spurting sparks and electric arcs, the will of the earth asked solemnly, “When did you notice it?”
“A long time ago, it was so long ago that we—all the ‘fragments’ of Li Yao’s soul were almost entirely washed away. The last bit of ‘seed’ was left. It was hidden in the deepest part of my soul and set a trigger condition. When somebody tried to crack it by brute force and swallow my soul, all the memory information would be activated and the unbelievable thing would be released.
The power hidden in the depths of the soul of the Red Pole Star surged into the will of the earth crazily in the form of waves made of lightning and presented the edge of the universe to the will of the planet. It was a new life form that was completely different from the intelligent life forms on the carbon-based planet. It was a magnificent journey and a power that even the Red Pole Star could not analyze and suppress instantly.
They were… the lightning whose life span was calculated in ‘seconds’ or even ‘minutes’!
“To put it simply, when all the pieces of ‘Li Yao’s soul’ were still intact and active in the Pangu Universe as ‘Vulture Li Yao’, he had encountered a mysterious new life and even civilization on his way to explore the ancient relics.
Ignoring the hole in his chest, Red Pole Star raised his hand with difficulty and pointed at his head. “At that time, ‘Vulture Li Yao’ had a deep contact with the torrent of plasma. His soul and the will of the torrent of plasma were locked in a tight embrace. You can understand it as a powerful electric current piercing through Vulture Li Yao’s brain and soul and… breaking the soul weapon that you buried in Li Yao’s brain, namely ‘Ou Yezi’.
“Although Vulture Li Yao did not see through the truth of ‘Ou Yezi’ at that time, he did have a very uncomfortable feeling, especially when he got in touch with the information about the ‘Primeval Civilization’ and the ‘Superhuman Civilization’ in the primeval relics. He even connected the causes and effects together vaguely.
“As for his way of thinking, his self-awareness, or rather, his soul, after going through the baptism of the lightning life-form, it also gave birth to a small upgrade. If he was in a state where his soul was stable, his thoughts were clear, and his will was firm, perhaps the lightning life-form would not have much of an effect on him, like a spark that would be extinguished in a flash.
“But as it happened, he rushed into the ‘Rainbow Bridge’ not long after and destroyed the starship that might’ve been filled with the coordinates and the intelligence of the civilization with his body and soul as the bomb!
“In the time frame of an ordinary human being, the self-destruction of the soul can happen in a moment. In a moment, everything will be reset to zero. Even the unparalleled experts in the Divinity Transformation Stage cannot think too much with a moment even if their computational ability is maximized.
“However, after the baptism of the lightning-like life, the structure of Li Yao’s soul was completely different from that of an ordinary person. At the very least, the moment of the explosion was enough for him to carefully study every detail of his hundred years of life and find out all the things worth doubting and investigating. Of course, it was also easier for him to discover the essence of the so-called ‘Ou Yezi’.
“The ‘doubtful points’ that you pointed out just now are not wrong at all. The so-called ‘Ou Yezi’s residual soul’ has no logic at all. It is completely unreasonable. Compared to all the adventures that Vulture Li Yao took in the Pangu Universe, all the abilities that he acquired, and all the friends and enemies that he made, ‘Ou Yezi’ is too weird. He is as obvious as an ink spot on a piece of white paper. He is so out of place.”
“How—how is it possible?”
The will of the planet found it hard to believe. “You didn’t know the truth about ‘Ou Yezi’ just now. I’ve been monitoring your reaction. Your surprise, shock, desperation, and fury are all real. There’s no way that they are faked!”
“Therefore, one must fool oneself first in order to fool the people he wants to fool or those who want to fool him!
The Red Pole Star said coldly, “This is just a very simple ‘self-hypnosis’ trick. When 99% of the life information is erased, the last 1% of the life information will be compressed and packed into an inconspicuous seed, which will be buried and activated when appropriate conditions are met.
“Using the new upgrade ability brought by the lightning-like life, Vulture Li Yao split his soul into countless pieces on his own at that moment. In the two soul fragments that were relatively larger, very distinctive personality imprints were left, namely ‘Li Yao’s personality’ and ‘Bloody Demon personality’. Then, he sealed ‘Ou Yezi’s residual soul’, which was your ‘soul weapon’, into ‘Li Yao’s personality’, and the trick was over.
“What?”
The will of the planet said, “You sensed the existence of the soul weapon but did not destroy it. Instead, you sealed it into ‘Li Yao’s personality’. Why? Did you not know that such a ‘Li Yao’ would be discovered by me as soon as he returned to Earth?
“You will find out anyway. Now that Li Yao knows that his entire journey through the sea of stars to the edge of the universe has been manipulated by a certain force, the force will certainly sense his return when he passes through Earth again.
The Red Pole Star replied calmly, “Since you are going to discover me anyway, I might as well create some bright flames and cover up the smaller, dimmer, and more fatal pieces with a glittering soul fragment.
“Besides, since Vulture Li Yao has seen through the truth of ‘Ou Yezi’s residual soul’, he can take the soul weapon for his own use and bait you.
“Therefore, the ‘Li Yao personality’ sacrificed himself on purpose so that he could be swallowed and melded by you. He was trying to give the ‘Bloody Demon personality’ valuable space to move around so that he could give you a lot of misjudgment and guess the tactics that you were most likely to employ!
