"Therefore," the mental devil said, "even if Earth is really part of the world of Cultivators and part of the Star Ocean Imperium ten thousand years ago, it is definitely not a common Sector but a unique, unique existence!
"Chances are that the peaceful Earth at the beginning of the twenty-first century is not what Earth really looks like! Or maybe, in the era of the Star Ocean Imperium ten thousand years ago, or even in the years of the war in space even further back, it was not called 'Earth' at all but a very famous place! "
Li Yao was dazed for a moment. "Are you suggesting that it is very possible that we have seen its name countless times in the history books but did not realize that it was' Earth '?"
The mental devil nodded quickly. "Yes. In that case, a lot of things will make sense!"
"Maybe!"
Li Yao said, somewhat in frustration. "Right now, the clues that we have are incomplete. Naturally, we can infer however we want, but we cannot be sure of anything! I really didn't understand. Since I had already escaped from Earth in my previous life, why did I seal such critical information deep inside my soul and release it bit by bit like squeezing toothpaste out of a tube of toothpaste? Wouldn't it have been better to tell myself the whole truth at once? "
"The question is very simple."
The mental devil thought for a moment and said, "On one hand, the amount of data and the shock to the soul contained in the information are too enormous. If they are all released at once, it will be like a tsunami or a flood. Won't our brains be crushed all of a sudden? Therefore, only by allowing yourself to recall the information bit by bit as your strength and your soul grows stronger will you be able to do so. "
Li Yao was dazed for a moment. It did make sense.
He still remembered the thrill of his heart racing and the exploding veins all over his body.
Even though he had advanced into the Yuanying level, the unparalleled thrill was still too much for him to bear. He felt that the world was swirling, his eyes were turning black, and his heart was about to jump out of his chest.
If he had been an ordinary person in the past, his brain would have been paralyzed on the spot, and he would have become an idiot after receiving such a memory.
"On the other hand …"
The mental devil continued. "Perhaps, we are still too weak to solve the problem of Earth right now. Therefore, telling us the whole truth will only add to our troubles. So, there is no need to know so much at once, is there?"
"Weak?"
Li Yao coldly snorted as he looked at his palms, which were faintly emitting spiritual flames. "Is the legendary Yuanying Old Monster still weak?"
"So what if it's Yuanying?"
The mental devil snorted. "Don't think too highly of yourself. Just recall the capabilities of Earth first. Let's not talk about the deeper truth behind Earth. Let's just talk about the two superpowers of Earth on the surface. They have almost twenty carrier strike groups and tens of thousands of nuclear bombs. Is it possible for a single Yuanying to deal with them?
Li Yao blinked, tilted his head and thought for a while, then gave up.
Yes, now that he had climbed into the Nascent Soul Stage, he could more or less blow up a mountain or crush a warship with a single punch. He would also be able to survive in the deep ocean and the vacuum for a long time!
Moreover, on the surface, there were no cultivators on Earth. There were only ordinary people who manipulated electrical and chemical weapons.
However, this did not mean that he, the "Yuanying Old Monster", could do whatever he wanted on Earth.
The most important thing was the ability to fight continuously, which was also the problem of "endurance".
When a cultivator was fighting, they had to burn their life force incessantly. It was even more so after they advanced into the Yuanying State.
For a Yuanying Old Monster, every second that they maintained the highest state would consume astronomical resources, spiritual energy, soul power, and vitality!
When a Yuanying Old Monster participated in a battle and showed up in the highest state, it usually lasted no more than ten minutes.
Most of the time, they would stay in the Building Foundation Stage and the Core Formation Stage and fight in the 'energy-saving mode' in order to prolong their endurance.
Only when they encountered a strategic target that was really worth attacking would they burn their life force and soul power and unleash their strongest attack!
For Li Yao, a newbie who had just advanced into the Yuanying State and lacked experience, it was even more so. It was like a three-year-old child who had been given an enormous torch. One moment of carelessness, and he might be set on fire!
Li Yao had run tests regarding his body condition. If he swallowed enough strengthening drugs and Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, he could stay in the highest state for about four to five minutes. If he stayed any longer, his body and soul would be damaged.
However, no matter how damaged he was, and no matter what the cost was, it was unlikely that he could stay in the highest state for more than ten minutes, unless he swallowed pills and elixirs while he was fighting. That would take some time to digest and absorb the elixirs. It was impossible for him to stay in the highest state for a long time.
Of all the battle-type Yuanying warriors, such a duration was probably the shortest. It couldn't be helped. It was already a miracle of miracles to break into the Yuanying State at such a young age. It was impossible for him to be as sophisticated and sophisticated as the old monsters who were one to two hundred years old.
However, even for the most experienced Yuanying warriors who were best at controlling the burning of their life force precisely, Li Yao estimated that it was unlikely that they could increase their maximum endurance to more than twenty minutes.
Human beings could get tired. Fighting was exhausting. Yuanying warriors were human beings, too. Yuanying warriors could get tired, too.
It was as simple as that.
Li Yao deduced in his head. If the two superpowers on Earth in the 'early twenty-first century' in his memory were his opponents, assuming that the battlefield was in the Pacific Ocean, he would be faced with almost ten aircraft carrier groups and hundreds of supersonic stealth fighters of the fourth generation and the fifth generation.
The result would probably be …
With his unparalleled strength, he would blow up dozens, if not hundreds, of supersonic stealth fighters in a row. If he was lucky, he might even be able to break through the enemy's dense anti-air fire net, sneak into one of the aircraft carriers, and sink it!
Then … there would be no then.
The best he could do was to take down one aircraft carrier group. His spiritual energy would certainly run dry, and he could only wait to be killed or flee in a hurry.
But Earth was a world without spiritual energy. Even if he escaped from the battlefield, there would be no place for him to catch his breath and recover!
All in all, perhaps it was as easy for Cultivators to beat ordinary people as it was for them to eat buns.
But even the most voracious of people would be stuffed to death if they ate hundreds of buns in a row!
"Fine. You're right. We're not strong enough right now. It's meaningless to think too much about the messy things. Even if we learn the truth of the 'Vulture Plan', so what? There's nothing we can do, isn't there?"
Li Yao jumped to his feet and warmed up his wrists and ankles against the frigid wind blowing in through the window. Looking at the vague brightness on the horizon, his eyes were glittering with brilliance, too. He grinned and said, "If I'm not strong enough, I'll just keep training! Training! Training! Yuanying is not my destination; it's just a new starting point!
"Hehe. At the very least, we now know that Earth is real and that it is deeply related to the world of Cultivators!
"Since it is related to Earth, there will certainly be a way to find it after I advance into a higher level!
"However, the mysteries of Earth can wait until the future. The most important thing right now is to deal with the Imperium of True Human Beings!"
Li Yao had thought through the problems of his previous life and his current life quite well.
No matter how weird the uncanny dream that was haunting his brain was, it was just a dream if they got to the bottom of it.
Everything in the past was like dying yesterday, and everything in the future was like living today! No matter what the past was, he was Li Yao, a Cultivator of the Heaven's Origin Sector, and Li Yao, a citizen of the Xing Yao Federation!
His family, lovers, friends, and compatriots were here. Of course, he had to fight to the end to protect everything!
Maybe, after the Imperium of True Human Beings was defeated, he would return to Earth and take a look when the time came.
But that would have to wait until the Imperium of True Human Beings, the evilest force in the civilization of mankind, was completely crushed!
Thinking about that, Li Yao was amused. He suddenly felt that all his hesitation a moment ago was unnecessary. As long as he passed the test of the Imperium of True Human Beings, everything would be resolved easily!
The reason was simple. Even if 'Earth' did exist, it was just a habitable planet.
No matter how powerful a planet was, how powerful could it be?
The Imperium of True Human Beings, on the other hand, probably had hundreds of Sectors under its control. There must be at least hundreds of habitable planets, right?
If they could defeat the Imperium of True Human Beings, it would mean that the Xing Yao Federation had become the strongest hegemony of human beings in the sea of stars.
By then, wouldn't it be more than a piece of cake for them to take care of an insignificant Earth?
On the other hand, if they could not defeat the Imperium of True Human Beings …
Li Yao estimated that he would definitely be killed in the sea of stars. Earth would be none of his business at all!
Yes. No matter where the future leads to, my own strength is still the most important thing. I must not be careless. I have to keep training myself!
Infinite mysteries are still hidden in the sea of stars, waiting for me to explore them slowly. I can't wait to go to the center of the three thousand Sectors!
Dawn was coming. Li Yao was too excited to go back to sleep. After washing his face and brushing his teeth, he left the shabby 'new house'.
The Grand Desolate Plateau at this moment was desolate and unoccupied. Tents and super-heavy construction magical equipment were everywhere. There were also many arc-shaped silver buildings that looked like enormous eggshells that had been placed on the ground.
