Behind Fuxi, thousands of pictures were rolling inside countless glittering light balls.
Some of the pictures seemed to be the worlds of the ancient Cultivators, the sects, the flying swords, and the deities, which must have been the time when human beings first emerged a hundred thousand years ago.
Some of the pictures were of the end of the era of the ancient Cultivators and the Great Dark Age when the demon race rose up. Countless experts of human beings were nursing their wounds and conserving their strength.
Some of the pictures seemed to be about the past of the Star Ocean Imperium, which was the most magnificent era of heroes in the history of human civilization. The rise of the Supreme Emperor and the betrayal of the Blood God were masterpieces that would not be finished until ten days later.
The last few pictures were even longer than the time in the real world, which suggested the outcome of the strategical war between the Star Glory Federation and the imperium.
It could be seen from the picture that Fuxi had made hundreds of deductions, including almost all the strategies that the Star Glory Federation and the imperium could choose.
Li Yao knew that, ever since the ‘Civilization’ game became a hit, the federation would use the professional version of the ‘Civilization’ game to extrapolate military affairs and political policies.
In the Imperium of True Human Beings, there was also a tradition of repeated war deduction with super crystal processors.
Fuxi was a special life form derived from a super crystal processor. Naturally, it attached great importance to the deduction of big data.
However, no matter how good its computational ability was, no matter how good its ability to collect information and retrieve data was, it was impossible for it to infer the general picture of the upcoming final battle.
Because in the initial data set, a very important piece was missing—Li Yao and the Star Glory Federation!
Even though Fuxi knew of the existence of ‘Vulture Li Yao’ and ‘Black Wind King Li Yao’, he did not know that Li Yao was such a special existence, nor did he know that Li Yao had brought his family with him.
It also failed to foresee the attitude of the Star Glory Federation toward the war between the Star Glory Federation and the imperium. If the reinforcements of the Star Glory Federation arrived in time, it was very likely that the situation of the battlefield would be completely changed.
“Wait. I think I know why Fuxi values Lu Qingchen so much now!”
Li Yao was greatly alarmed.
He more or less understood what Fuxi meant. The guy’s computational ability was apparently higher than any super crystal processor of the federation or the imperium. Even Li Yao, Lu Qingchen, Xiao Ming, Wen Wen, and the boxing champion might not be able to compete with it.
However, even the strongest computational ability required a lot of raw data in order to provide precise results.
After a thousand years of infiltration, the Fuxis might have grasped a lot of data about the imperium and could more or less know what to do next.
But since it knew almost nothing about the Star Glory Federation, the federation would most likely become its problem.
Therefore, it was in desperate need of devouring Lu Qingchen’s soul so that it could analyze a lot of data about the federation from Lu Qingchen’s memory and fill in the most crucial part!
Now that it understood this point, it was very easy to understand why it was unwilling to use brute force to crack Lu Qingchen’s soul. It was because the process of cracking the soul by brute force was very likely to destroy a lot of data, making it unable to accurately calculate the unexpected factor that was
the Star Glory Federation.
It seemed that the Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit was not as strong as it claimed to be. It was quite wary of the insignificant federation.
It did make sense now that he thought about it. If it were really so awesome that it could absorb the energy of a star and transform it into computational ability at its will, it would’ve crushed the imperium into powder a long time ago if it had put the ‘Black Screen Technology’ and the ‘Tidal Tide
Technology’ into actual combat.
Li Yao was somewhat relieved when he thought of that. He thought to himself that he had miscalculated this time. Even if he had swallowed Lu Qingchen’s soul, Lu Qingchen would not have known his real identity, nor would he have known the existence of Xiao Ming and Wen Wen. There would still have
been major errors in the deduction of the Fuxis.
But on second thought, he felt that his soul was frozen again.
It was true that swallowing Lu Qingchen would not solve the problem, but what if he did?
If Fuxi devoured him and dissected ‘Vulture Li Yao’s’ soul and memories, wouldn’t everything be exposed?
With the terrifying computational ability of the Fuxis and the primeval technologies that they boasted, it was very likely that they would come up with ways to deal with Xiao Ming, Wen Wen, and the Fist King.
‘Then, the terrifying future that it had just described might really arrive!
“Crap. We’ve walked right into a trap!”
Li Yao’s soul rippled out in the form of sawteeth, rubbing against each other at a high speed. “No. We can’t let the monster take our souls. However, the monster has blocked all the data interfaces between ‘Ultimate Rescue’ and the outside world. This is its nest. Its computational ability seems to be slightly
higher than ours. We can’t fight or run away. What do we do?”
Li Yao entered the valley, and Lu Qingchen was caught in a dilemma, too. The brilliant pictures illuminated his soul and drowned him in them for a long time.
“If lagree—”
Lu Qingchen pondered for a moment and asked, “What about the Star Glory Federation?”
“Do you still miss your motherland, the place where you were banished and destroyed mercilessly as a monster and a devil?
“Interesting. Your feelings for your motherland are rarely-seen. I can’t wait to analyze your soul and get a lot of special data. Can you tell me why you still care about the federation?”
“Hehe. You won’t understand even if! tell you.
Lu Qingchen sniffed. He paused and managed to say, “Consider it… for my grandfather!”
“Alright, since you value the federation so much, I can give it to you as a small gift. You can do whatever you want with it.”
“You can turn the Star Glory Federation into a reservation and keep the system and social order of the Cultivators unchanged for hundreds of years, or even thousands of years. I don’t lack the resources of the Star Glory Federation, at least not in the last ten thousand years.
“Or, I can support your ‘Phantom Plan’ and modify the Star Glory Federation according to your will, turning all the citizens of the federation into… only their brains and reproductive systems so that they can enjoy their life in the endless spiritual world comfortably.
“Idon’t need to lie to you. Just think about it and you will know that it will take at least millions of years for my cosmic modification plan to make preliminary progress. When I have the ability to control all the stars in the egg of the universe, it will probably be a matter of ten billion years later. I can
totally rank the edge of the sea of stars where the Star Glory Federation is located to the end of the devouring and controlling sequence. After several hundred million years, I will extend my tentacles to the small, barren frontier.
“Hundreds of millions of years is a long time for human beings. By then, the Star Glory Federation and the Cultivation civilization will have ‘died of old age’.
“In short, as long as you agree to be my assistant and disciple, the Star Glory Federation, which you love so much, will be safe for at least a hundred million years. Isn’t that the best deal in the universe?
“It seems to be a good deal.”
Lu Qingchen’s soul was shivering, “It sounds like you’ve done your part. But I’m still curious. What’s your second choice?”
“The second option…”
The light cluster of the Fuxis wriggled. Dozens of tentacles darted out like lightning and pierced into Lu Qingchen’s soul. Powerful electric arcs were released and almost dissected Lu Qingchen’s broken soul.
Stabbing back and forth with the tentacles of the soul was Lu Qingchen’s specialty. But apparently, it was not a pleasant feeling to be stabbed by somebody else.
“AHHHHHHHHH!””
Lu Qingchen’s screams echoed in every corner of the Spiritual Nexus. Even Li Yao felt that his blood was freezing.
“The thinking patterns of human beings are both inefficient and idiotic.
The Fuxi wriggled its tentacles slowly, tearing and savaging Lu Qingchen’s soul. It continued speaking calmly, “You knew that it was impossible for you to run away. The hundred and forty-four times that you had the urge to run away from the beginning were all gone. Why couldn’t you hold it back any
longer?
“The entire ‘Ultimate Rescue’ is like my brain. Where can you run to even if you can get out of my brain right now?
“Pain? No. Compared to the extreme pain that I might inflict on your soul, this is just a cool summer afternoon.
“Now, let me tell you the second choice.
“If you are not willing to cooperate with me, I will have to tear your soul apart and analyze all the data hidden in the depths of your soul by brute force. You know that any deleted or shattered data can be recovered. It is just a matter of time and computational ability.
“In order to punish you for wasting my precious time and computational ability, I will assemble your soul and throw it into the virtual world where ‘pain’ is tested. You will taste all the extreme physical and mental pain in the world for 100 million years.
“Imagine such a punishment. Your soul will be imprisoned in a space of absolute darkness and dead silence. You won’t be able to see or hear anything, You will be able to sense the existence of your limbs, but you won’t be able to move at all. You won’t be hungry, and you won’t grow old. You will only be
able to remain conscious forever. Why don’t you try spending ten thousand years like this?
“Tm very curious as to what kind of mutations will occur to your soul during these 10,000 years. I believe that you will be able to gather a lot of wonderful data.
“No. Not just you. Everyone in the federation will be punished, too.
“Twill establish a large ‘lab of human nature’ in the Star Glory Federation. All the citizens of the federation will become test subjects to test the negative emotions and the dark side of humanity. If you want, you can also call it ‘hell’.
“Tm sorry. In fact, I don’t have any concepts such as ‘hatred’, ‘revenge’, or ‘punishment’. However, somebody has to test the negative emotions and the dark side of human nature, right? When the human nature laboratory is completed, I will tell all the people of the federation that they fell into hell because
of you. I will even send you back to the Star Glory Federation at that time and reunite you with your compatriots. Is that what you want?
“Now, make your choice.”
The tentacles of light picked up Lu Qingchen’s soul and pulled it to the front. Countless light spots were blinking on Lu Qingchen’s twisted face..
