Jin Xinyue handed over a mini crystal processor and said, "This is the one."
Li Yao took over the crystal processor and turned on the light beam, only to discover that it was an introduction to a cutting-edge medical technology.
"Recently, the 'Heavenly Capital Medical College', one of the Nine Universities of the Federation, and the 'Mystic Ice Sect' of the Flying Star Sector, established a joint research team and successfully parsed a lot of files and secret arts about the 'Mystic Ice Force' from a slab of relics collected from a world fragment in the Tian Yuan Realm.
"The Mystic Ice Force is a technique of the ice class passed on from the Star Ocean Imperium. The Mystic Ice Sect has a lot of classics about the 'Mystic Ice Force' in the first place. Through the slab from the relics of the Tian Yuan Realm, they have finally completed the most critical part and cracked all the mysteries of the 'Mystic Ice Force'. Also, with the help of the specialists of the Heavenly Capital Medical College, they have successfully explored a brand-new practical technology of the 'Mystic Ice Force' — the Super Instant Freezing of the human body, also known as the 'Human Hibernation Technology'!
"According to the introduction of the specialists of the joint research team, the technology can lower the body temperature of a human body from normal to minus fifty degrees in 0.01 seconds. In a special freezing solution, the metabolism and the cell activities will be reduced to the minimum. The normal functions of the human body will not be damaged, and the Cultivation of the Cultivators will not be affected, either.
"For the 'hibernators', it is like entering 'time stop'. The aging of the cells will be extremely slow and almost negligible.
"After spending years or even decades in the 'hibernation' state, after a short recovery period, the cells will be restored to their original vitality!
"Under the current situation, the technology has a wide range of applications.
"Other than the regular medical applications, more importantly, for the experts who are too old to survive more than a hundred years but are eager to fight the Imperium of True Human Beings, it is a very feasible choice to 'seal' themselves with the 'Human Hibernation Technology' until the Imperium of True Human Beings invades on a large scale …"
Li Yao put down the crystal processor and looked at the fleeting scenery outside the window. Jin Tuyi's mysterious face appeared in his mind again, as if everything was under his control. After pondering for a long time, he could not help but burst into laughter.
"Jin Tuyi, so, Jin Tuyi, this is what you have been thinking all along. Have you discovered that there is still a slim chance that you can compete with the experts of the Imperium of True Human Beings? So, you don't want to be killed, do you?"
"Then, should I do as you wish?"
Li Yao looked at the skyline in the distance, deep in thought.
…
Ten days later, Xing Yao Federation, Far East Sea, Devil Flood Dragon Island, War Museum, "Eternal Flagship of the Union Army," Distant Expanse.
Jin Xinyue, as the Dark Lady of the Nine Heavens of the Pantheon of Demons, officially submitted the letter of surrender and the box of soil soaked in her father's blood to the Xing Yao Federation on behalf of the entire Blood Demon Sector.
It was not the Speaker of the Federation who accepted the letter of surrender and the soil of blood on behalf of the Xing Yao Federation, but Li Yao, the 'Speaker's Special Envoy'.
On one hand, because the 'Dark Lady of the Nine Heavens' was not the highest leader of the Blood Demon Sector, theoretically speaking, her job was similar to the 'Special Envoy and Spokesperson of the Twelve Demon Emperors'. In terms of position, it would be a humiliation for either the Speaker of the Federation or the Chief of the General Staff of the Union Army to come out.
On the other hand, the Union Army had not completely crushed the Coalition Army of Demons. The Blood Demon Sector had 'conditional surrender', too, not 'unconditional surrender' after a crushing defeat.
In fact, for the disobedient demon emperors of the Blood Demon Sector, the Cultivators who had not defeated them in person were not enough to convince them.
Li Yao, on the other hand, was different.
Li Yao had traveled across the Blood Demon Sector on his own, snuck into the army of hundreds of thousands of demons, destroyed the Eye of Blood Demon, and indirectly killed countless demon emperors and elites of the demon race!
In the Blood Demon Sector, where the strong preyed on the weak, the demon emperors showed great respect and even fear for such an unparalleled warrior as Li Yao, even though he was their enemy!
Besides, Li Yao had destroyed the Eye of Blood Demon. He was the 'culprit' who had killed countless demons and a great enemy of the Blood Demon Sector.
However, he had also stopped the Spore Stratagem and saved more demons from the disaster.
Otherwise, even if the demons had not been killed by the Eye of Blood Demon, they would have been infected by the Demon God Virus and ended up as walking dead or 'uncontrollable mutants'!
Right now, the plague in the Blood Demon Sector had broken out on a large scale. The devastation caused by the Demon God Virus was everywhere. Even the most stubborn demons, after witnessing the gory scenes, had to admit that Li Yao had indeed saved countless demons and even the future of the Blood Demon Sector!
From that point of view, he was a great benefactor of the Blood Demon Sector.
Not only did he boast astounding accomplishments, he was also a great benefactor to the Blood Demon Sector, and he was deeply connected to the Blood Demon Sector as well as another important ally, the Flying Star Sector. It was undoubtedly the best choice that all three parties could accept for Li Yao to accept the letter of surrender on behalf of the Federation.
Of course, he was probably chosen to accept the surrender on behalf of the Federation because the Speaker and most of the representatives wanted to make up for what they owed him in the past.
Shua! Shua! Shua!
Shua! When Li Yao took the wooden box that was filled with bloody soil from Jin Xinyue's hands, hundreds of crystal cameras were flashing at them at the same time. The epoch-making scene turned into pictures, videos, and words that were transmitted to every corner of the Xing Yao Federation through the surging ocean together with spiritual waves!
…
Almost at the same time that Li Yao received the letter of surrender from Jin Xinyue, thousands of kilometers away from the highly-anticipated surrender ceremony, in the east district of the capital city, the first trial of the members of the Patriots Partnership came to an end in a low-key atmosphere.
Twenty criminals in total were sentenced to thirty to fifty years in prison for 'treason', 'dereliction of duty', 'endangering public safety', and other crimes.
In the law of the Federation, thirty to fifty years was a heavy punishment only second to the death penalty and life imprisonment.
However, considering that those who were sentenced were all Cultivators with a high Cultivation, who could live longer than ordinary people as long as they did not exhaust themselves crazily, such a sentence was not too harsh.
Besides, the judge had indicated that, in the future, the Federation would enter the era of rapid space development. A lot of hands would be needed in the remote space zones.
The criminals could choose to spend decades dutifully in the local prison of the Federation, or they could choose to cooperate with the government of the Federation and join a series of experiment projects in the remote space zones to atone for everything they had done in the past. In the meantime, their sentences would be shortened and they would be released in advance.
The first batch of criminals to be tried had all been carefully selected. They were all members of the Patriots Partnership who had been fooled by Lu Zui and Zhou Hengdao. They had no idea that everything they had done was for the purpose of 'assassinating the Speaker' or that such a gory explosion would take place.
After learning the truth, they almost collapsed within one second and confessed everything they knew. They even helped Guo Chunfeng and other special teams persuade more members of the organization to surrender.
After more than a month of observation, it was confirmed that they were truly remorseful. Therefore, they were allowed to be tried as the first batch.
Therefore, the twenty criminals all chose to cooperate with the government of the Federation without any exception and marched to the frontline of the space development!
After the last criminal's crime and sentence were announced, the twenty criminals who used to be quite famous in the circle of Cultivators all seemed greatly relieved. They seemed to have been reborn and could not wait to devote themselves to the splendid construction of the universe.
In the auditorium, their families took a long breath in relief, too. Many of them were crying, feeling sincerely comforted by such a verdict.
The thirty or so relatives of the criminals who were sitting on the left side of the auditorium were all wearing the same round badge on their chest despite their various clothes.
There was a slightly weird pattern on the badge. At the center of the pattern was a double-edged sword that was full of thorns. What was weird was that there was only the body of the sword but no handle.
A giant hand extended out from the bottom right of the pattern and grabbed the double-edged sword tightly.
Because there was no handle, the blades on the two sides of the double-edged sword and the thorns on the body of the sword pierced deep into the palm, making the giant hand bleed through the gaps between the fingers and the back of the hand.
On the back of the hand, while the blood was flowing out, a big eye was opened, which was staring at everything with cold but sharp brilliance.
Below the badge, there were five small words written in bold strokes:
"Patriots Front!"
Those people sat in the auditorium for a long time. It was not until all the criminals were taken away by the bailiffs that they rose and regrouped outside of the court.
Ding Ling Dong stood out from the crowd. There was a badge of the Patriots Front on her perky breasts, too.
Compared to a month ago, she seemed to have added an indescribable strength, not from her fists but from her heart, which made her even calmer, firmer, and more unshakable.
Looking around, Ding Ling Dong said, "The verdict of the Patriots Partnership will be over soon, but the battle of the Patriots Front has only just begun!
"To be honest, like everyone else, I have never thought of establishing such an organization. I do not have much experience in management, nor do I have any vision for long-term strategies. To this day, I still don't know what the Patriots Front is going to do exactly!
"However, I believe in one thing. Even the most shocking things have to start from the smallest things.
"The war between the Heaven's Origin Sector and the Blood Demon Sector is over. Next, the Grand Desolate Plateau will be redeveloped. There will also be the space zones of the Flying Star Sector and even the space beyond the Heaven's Origin Sector, the Flying Star Sector, and the Blood Demon Sector!
"These places all have harsh environments. They are incomparably desolate and filled with all kinds of dangers."
"Without a doubt, the demons who are strong and adaptable will be sent to those places first.
"The Patriots Front cannot watch them die without doing anything. We have to devote our strength to those places and work together with the demons to develop, develop, and build!"
"On one hand, we have to keep an eye on them and see if they are sincere about surrendering and cooperating with us.
"More importantly, we have to prove that we can do what the demons can do, too! Where the demons can live, we can live, too! Not only can we live, we can also turn the barren lands into new paradises!
"Patriot is a good word, but the good word has been stained. It doesn't matter. Fellow Cultivators and 'patriots', we have a hundred years to wash away the stains!
"Let's work together, everybody!"
