Jin Tuyi looked at his son attentively. His eyes were so clear that the boiling redness was completely reflected. "I believe that our race will definitely rise from the ashes, but I'm afraid that I will not be able to lead our race to the end of the journey in person. According to the doctor, I can maintain my current intelligence level for half a year at best. In half a year to a year, my intelligence will drop to 70% of the peak. In three years, it will drop to 50%, and in five years, it will drop to 20% to 30%. I will become a mediocre old man.
"With only 50% computational ability and thinking ability, it is impossible for me to lead a race and a civilization to the end.
"And you, my son, are my only choice."
"Maybe such a choice is too hasty, but it can't be helped. I don't have much time. After the war is over and the Heaven's Origin Sector and the Blood Demon Sector are over, I may have to announce my illness to the public.
"Dad!"
Jin Wuxu's heart seemed to be dancing in hundreds of electric arcs. He felt both pain and numbness. He bellowed, "I will prove with my actions that you have made the most correct choice!
"Rest assured. I will be the first to break into the parliament building of the Xing Yao Federation!"
Jin Tuyi smiled. "Over the past few years, you have been leading the Mirage Falcons, the most elite troop of the Feather Clan. You have done an excellent job. I believe that you will distinguish yourself in the war to come, too.
"However, be smart. Be prudent when you need to be. We have so many demon emperors on our side, and so many Yuanying on our enemy's side. You are just an insignificant demon king right now. Don't put yourself in danger just for a bit of fame.
"Remember, the future of the Feather Clan depends on you!"
Jin Wuxu nodded. Taking a deep breath, he said solemnly, "I know what to do now, Dad. One day, I will be the 'king of the Blood Demon Sector'. I will unite the Blood Demon Sector and the Heaven's Origin Sector! "
Jin Tuyi's eyes pierced through Jin Wuxu's face and stared at the deepest part of the clouds. He said gloomily, "Just the Blood Demon Sector and the Heaven's Origin Sector?"
Jin Wuxu was dazed for a moment. "Of course, I will not let go of the Flying Star Sector, either. After we integrate the resources of the Heaven's Origin Sector and the Blood Demon Sector, our next step will be marching toward the Flying Star Sector!
"The starships and space jump technologies of the Flying Star Sector are indeed advanced, but they do not have a unified government. They do not have a well-trained regular army, either. They are like a tray of loose sand. As long as their weakness is found, they will be easier to deal with than the Heaven's Origin Sector!
Jin Tuyi nodded and said softly, as if he were talking to himself, "I believe that you can do it, but it's not enough. It's far from enough."
"What are the Heaven's Origin Sector and the Blood Demon Sector? They are just two pebbles at the edge of the cosmos. "
"Although the Flying Star Sector is larger than the Heaven's Origin Sector and the Blood Demon Sector, compared to the prosperous area at the center of the three thousand Sectors, the Flying Star Sector is much smaller. It's not a big deal. "
"Tell me, son."
Jin Tuyi suddenly retreated his eyes. The brilliance that had been radiating tens of thousands of meters away suddenly constricted to one foot short, as if two longswords made of brilliance had pierced into his son's eyes brutally. "Do you believe it? The Blood Demon Sector, the Heaven's Origin Sector, and the Flying Star Sector are definitely not the end of our race. One day, the vanguard of our race will march to the center of the three thousand Sectors. We will conquer the most glorious places of our civilization in the past! "
Jin Wuxu was dumbfounded.
The Flying Star Sector was already the limit of his imagination. His ambition had never touched the depths of the cosmos. The place was so far away.
The most glorious places of our civilization in the past. Was his father referring to the Empyreal Terminus Sector?
Jin Wuxu's soul trembled beyond his control. He swallowed and struggled to nod his head. "Of — of course. Our race is destined to unite the sea of stars again. I have no doubt about it. "
"That's good."
Jin Tuyi's unstoppable eyes were gone. After a moment of madness, he seemed to have turned into the mediocre demon emperor who had been elected as the commander-in-chief of the Coalition Army of Demons because he did not have a better choice.
The clouds in his eyes were changing nonstop. He stared at a certain point below the clouds far away and said casually, "Then, I'm looking forward to the glorious future that you will bring to our race."
…
At 6: 27 p.m. on May 12 …
There were still four hours to go before the 'Blood Demon's Smile' took shape.
In the command center of the Spore Stratagem in the secret stronghold of the Nether World Watch in the Nether Spring Kingdom …
Elder Nether Spring, 'Mad Medic' Lu Wuxin, and Despot and Swirl, the two commanders of the Nether World Watch, were also busy in the tides of information.
They were monitoring everything that was happening in the Eye of Blood Demon closely.
"The Coalition Army of Demons has been deployed. All the enormous demon beasts and biochemical beasts have been activated. All the legions have boarded the devilish warships. The first, second, and third attack groups are on standby. They are ready for teleportation and battle at any moment!
"The Eye of Blood Demon has been warmed up. The operational intensity has reached 60%. The tidal force has been stored well and is highly stable. When the 'Blood Demon's Smile' completely manifests and the tidal force is maximized, the largest-scale teleportation in history will be activated!
"All the 'spores' are in good health. They are on standby and can be activated at any moment. No suspicion has been raised.
"Their priority of infection has been determined, too. Once the war breaks out, they will be able to infect the target as quickly as possible!
"Elder, everything is going according to our plan. The Spore Stratagem is 99% successful now!"
Swirl was somewhat excited. A new piece of information made her smile even brighter. "According to the latest intelligence, Jin Tuyi did not notice the existence of the Spore Stratagem at all, nor did he realize that he was nothing more than a puppet under Elder's command. He has completely trusted his eldest son, Jin Wuxu. Just now, he even told Jin Wuxu that he was suffering from cerebral sclerosis, his greatest secret, and chose Jin Wuxu as his heir.
"Haha. If he knew that Jin Wuxu had joined Elder's side a long time ago, how would he feel?"
Elder Nether Spring put on a smile, too. He turned around and asked 'Mad Medic' Lu Wuxin, "What stage has Jin Tuyi's cerebral sclerosis developed to?"
"Right now, it's in the early and middle stages," Lu Wuxin said.
"Jin Tuyi has a brain tomography secretly every month," Lu Wuxin said. "Since three months ago, his frontal lobes and sulci have shown signs of smoothness. The sulci is getting shallower and shallower, and the boundary of his hippocampus is blurred, as if it is about to melt.
"They are all signs that cerebral sclerosis is progressing from the early stage to the middle stage.
"By my estimation, his computational ability and thinking ability right now have already reached 95%. It has already dropped to 95% of its peak, and the rate of decline is very fast. "
"Oh?"
Elder Nether Spring scratched his chin, deep in thought. The antennae on his forehead were shivering crazily.
A terrifying smile appeared on Lu Wuxin's hideous face. "Hehehehe. I know what you are worried about, Elder. You are worried that Jin Tuyi is faking his illness, aren't you? "
"Rest assured, Elder. He is definitely not!"
"Jin Tuyi's personal doctor was infiltrated by us a long time ago. Every time he has a test report, I will personally study it. There is indeed a change in his brain. This is not something that can be faked by any divine ability. "
"Besides, Jin Tuyi has been taking drugs that suppress the activity of his brain cells every day. Such drugs can paralyze his brain cells and force them into a partial hibernation state. It's like a thick cushion has been added to his brain.
"Of course. Of course, it will affect his sharp thinking ability, too. But it is the only treatment that can delay the attack of cerebral sclerosis.
"Over the past few months, Jin Tuyi has been taking more and more drugs, which suggests that he has realized that his condition is getting worse, too.
"How can such a guy whose brain is about to be destroyed compete with you, Elder?"
Elder Nether Spring pondered for a moment and said, "Of course, I know that Jin Tuyi is really suffering from cerebral sclerosis. However, perhaps because the Spore Stratagem is about to break out, I'm a bit nervous. I have a vague feeling that my heart is beating fast.
"I'm thinking. Even if Jin Tuyi is really suffering from cerebral sclerosis, is it possible that he suddenly has extraordinary computational ability and sees through everything? "
"It's absolutely impossible!"
'Mad Medic' Lu Wuxin shook his head hard. "In this field, please trust my professionalism, Elder.
"Cerebral sclerosis is a disease caused by brain cells that have been overloaded for a long time. The sick cells are like layers of ice that envelop the healthy brain cells, making the brain seem to be frozen.
"Imagine that a person is frozen into an ice block at minus a hundred degrees. All the joints and muscles in his body are frozen, like an ice sculpture.
"But what will happen if he tries to exercise his body intensely without bothering about anything?
"The excruciating pain will cause his body to collapse directly!
"For those who suffer from cerebral sclerosis, when they enter the state of extreme thinking, they will feel inhuman pain, too. Such pain is directly sent out from the central nerves deep inside the brain cells. It is ten times more excruciating than the pain that we can describe!"
"Let's assume that Jin Tuyi can withstand such pain," Elder Nether Spring said coldly.
Lu Wuxin grimaced. "Even if he can withstand such pain, it is impossible for him to do it, unless …"
Elder Nether Spring raised his eyebrow. "Unless what?"
"Unless," Lu Wuxin said, "he is not scared that he will turn into an idiot who doesn't even know how to clean his pants after a year and a half."
Elder Nether Spring was silent. His eyebrows gradually relaxed.
"Elder, I think that you are overcomplicating things."
Lu Wuxin was an expert in the demon emperor level, too. He was also the host of the Demon God Virus Experiment. Therefore, he was even less concerned about what he said. "Wasn't Jin Tuyi's cerebral sclerosis an important factor when we chose him as our puppet?
"It was exactly because of his cerebral sclerosis that his computational ability and thinking ability seriously plummeted that we made so much effort in secret and pushed him to the position of the commander-in-chief of the Coalition Army of Demons so that it would be easier for us to infiltrate and manipulate him later!
"In terms of capability, the Gold Crow Kingdom is the weakest of the four demon kingdoms in the first place. He ranks last among the four giants of the Blood Demon Sector, too.
"In terms of manpower, we've already infiltrated his side. His every move is under our control. He doesn't have many men of sacrifice who are completely loyal to him!"
"In terms of wisdom, such a guy who has cerebral sclerosis and whose computational ability has plummeted, turning him into an idiot at any moment, has done everything within Elder's calculations? How could he have seen through even the slightest bit of our scheme? "
"His capability, manpower, and wisdom are no match for even one of Elder's little fingers. What makes him think that he can compete with Elder and the Spore Stratagem?"
His words were exactly what Elder Nether Spring was thinking. He finally put on an undisguised smile and said, "There are still four hours to go."
