"Fellow Cultivator Li, as the youngest Yuanying in the three Sectors, you are indeed a heroic young man. You are even more impressive than your reputation!"
Zhou Yifu's voice was as loud as a bell. Most historians in the world of Cultivators were similar to him. Because they had to excavate relics and read ancient books with powerful spiritual energy all year round, how could they not have a good physique?
Zhou Yifu smiled. "However, other people might value Fellow Cultivator Li's glorious deeds such as sabotaging the Eye of Blood Demon and destroying the Patriots Partnership, but what I appreciate most is that Fellow Cultivator Li established Skyfire and tried to restore the truth of history!
"Without history, there would be no present, and without the present, there would be no future. History is the source of our civilization. Fellow Cultivator Li, you were truly ambitious to be so thoughtful in such a perilous situation at that time!"
Li Yao immediately blushed. It was true that when Skyfire was established in the Blood Demon Sector, it was under the banner of 'Skyfire Reading Club', hoping to sort out the truth from the history of the Heaven's Origin Sector and the Blood Demon Sector.
However, it was more of a disguise. Skyfire did not have a real historian. They were just a bunch of idiots who were fooling around.
They might be able to fool other people, but they were not worth mentioning in front of an expert such as Zhou Yifu.
"Thank you for your compliment, Senior Zhou!"
Li Yao said sincerely. "We do mean to sort out the history completely, but our abilities are limited. Although we have some scattered ancient books and relics, it is extremely difficult to connect them and combine all the details perfectly! Therefore, I hope that the real experts in the field of history, such as Senior Zhou, can give us some enlightenment. It will be even better if they can be the consultants of Skyfire! “
"It's my duty!"
Zhou Yifu said solemnly. "Right now, the Federation is in the middle of a storm. In order to defeat the Imperium and the Holy League, we must figure out the details of the two parties and grasp all the techniques of the Star Ocean Imperium ourselves! The efforts of my colleagues in the field of history will be indispensable in both aspects. Naturally, I will do my best, too! "
Li Yao was overjoyed. He did not expect the master to be so easygoing. He was even more confident about the Yuanying Meeting now.
"You two masters, don't be in a hurry to flatter each other!"
Wei Qingqing had a good relationship with Zhou Yifu, so she joked with them. "There's still some time before the Yuanying Conference. Why don't I do a short interview with the two masters first? Let's start with you, Master Li Yao. What do you think of the Yuanying Meeting? Do we really have a chance to defeat the Imperium of True Human Beings and the Alliance of the Holy Covenant, which is said to be even more dreadful than the Imperium? Oh right, this' rumor 'is what your adoptive father said! "
Three months ago, after Li Yao deciphered his father's last words, after much consideration, he still followed his father's instructions and concealed the information about "Li Linghai" and the mysterious half key. The rest of the information was disclosed to the public.
Li Yao had thought that his father's identity as a member of the Holy League would raise a lot of attention or even trouble for him.
But as it turned out, there was indeed a lot of attention, but most of the attention was focused on the formidability and mysteriousness of the Holy League. Nobody was surprised at all that he had a adoptive father from the Holy League. Instead, they all seemed to agree.
"I always thought that you were a monster. Otherwise, it would've been too unbelievable for an ordinary young man born in a magical equipment graveyard to advance into the Yuanying stage from an ordinary person in less than ten years!"
Ding Ling Dong said with a smile after learning the matter. "I didn't know that you had a adoptive father from the center of the cosmos. In that case, everything makes sense now. It's perfectly normal that I can't beat you for the time being!"
All in all, society accepted the matter very soon with the attitude that it was not strange that he was Vulture Li Yao's adoptive father even if he was an alien.
"In the crises of the Flying Star Sector, the Blood Demon Sector, and the Heaven's Origin Sector, you have resolved most of the critical problems on your own."
Wei Qingqing's crystal cameras were glittering as she asked, "Are you confident that you can perform as well as you did in the past when you are faced with the Imperium and the Holy League?"
Li Yao couldn't help but laugh. He scratched his head and said, "Sister Qingqing, you still don't know me. A lot of things are just coincidences. At most, I'm just a catalyst, a go-between."
"To be honest, we already have three Sectors right now, and more Sectors will join us in the future. When the Federation confronts the Imperium and the Holy League, it will certainly be a systematic competition of dozens if not hundreds of Sectors! In such a competition, the strength of one person is certainly insignificant.
"Even in the past, in the battles of the Flying Star Sector, the Blood Demon Sector, and the Tian Yuan Realm, I was never fighting alone. Lei Dalu, Bai Kaixin, Xiong Wuji, Jin Xinyue, Fire Ant, Guo Chunfeng … A lot of my partners fought side by side with me and sacrificed more than I did in order to defeat the formidable enemies one after another!
"I believe that it will be the same in the collisions with the Imperium and the Holy League in the future. A war cannot be won by one hero. If we do win, it will be because thousands of heroes fought together!
"Let's talk about it later."
Li Yao paused for a moment and glanced at Professor Zhou Yifu. He smiled and said, "I don't have a profound strategic vision. I don't know how to coordinate the enormous resources of several Sectors. It is impossible for me to decide the major policies of the Federation in the next hundred years.
"In that regard, some of the participants of the Yuanying Meeting in the past two hundred years are a hundred times better than me. I'm here mainly to learn from the seniors here.
"I'm not being modest. My specialty and hobby is fighting on the frontline. I'm engaged in the more direct and specific work! Therefore, if the Yuanying Meeting does decide on a strategy and needs an executor, I certainly won't flinch at all! "
Wei Qingqing nodded quickly. "It seems that you are very confident in defeating the Imperium and the Holy League, aren't you?"
Li Yao nodded and said solemnly, "Of course I am. But I feel that if we do defeat the Imperium and the Holy League, we will not necessarily crush them in a head-on battle. It is more likely that we will break the fortress from the inside."
Wei Qingqing was dazed for a moment. She asked subconsciously, "What do you mean?"
"I'm not confident in the Federation; I'm confident in humanity and the bright side of humanity!"
Li Yao grinned. "Whatever the Imperium and the Holy League look like exactly, one thing is certain, which is that they belong to the civilization of mankind and are made of human beings!
"Since they are made of human beings, I firmly believe that the brilliance of humanity must be shining in most of their hearts!
"Even if the authorities of the Imperium and the Holy League can suppress the brightness by force, the stronger their suppression, the stronger their resistance will be!
"Think about the riot of the Patriots Partnership half a year ago. If some 'local Immortal Cultivators' can appear in the Xing Yao Federation, why can't some 'local Cultivators' appear in the Imperium of True Human Beings?"
Wei Qingqing could not help but open her mouth and mumble, "Although I feel that you are too optimistic, I sincerely hope that it is true, just like you!
"What about you, Master? You are an expert on the history of the decline of the Star Ocean Imperium. As I recall, in your monograph 'Destruction of the Imperium', there is a passage that states that 'however large an Imperium is, it will be destroyed one day. The larger it is, the more indestructible it is, and the faster it will be destroyed! In many cases, the destruction does not come from the outside but from the Imperium's own weight and ambitions! '"
Wei Qingqing moved to Professor Zhou Yifu's side. Like a real reporter, she said solemnly, "It sounds like you and Li Yao share similar views, Professor. What do you think of our future? Do we really stand a chance against the two behemoths that are the Imperium and the Holy League at the same time? "
Zhou Yifu smiled. "In my opinion, there is no need to worry when there are too many debts!"
"Huh?"
Wei Qingqing was dazed, not understanding what her professor meant.
"Ever since the news of the 'Holy League' spread out, the entire Federation has been panicking and in chaos. Everybody is amazed by the horror of the sea of stars!"
Zhou Yifu scratched his half-black goatee and grimaced. "My opinion is the opposite. I believe that the existence of the 'Holy League' is not a bad thing but a great thing!
"If the odds of the Federation winning against the Imperium alone are 1%, right now, the odds of the Federation winning against the Imperium and the Holy League have been increased to at least 5%!
"Don't you understand? We are like a fat, fresh rabbit. Which do you think is better to face, a hungry wolf or a pack of hungry wolves?
"A hungry wolf? That would be a big mistake! In a one-on-one battle, the rabbit has no chance to deal with them at all! Only when faced with a pack of hungry wolves can there be a slim chance of survival!
"Besides, the Imperium and the Holy League are not two hungry wolves but one hungry wolf and a tiger that is even more brutal!
"Our Federation, on the other hand, is definitely not a harmless rabbit waiting to be killed, either. It is a cub that has just grown claws and teeth and does not have much combat experience yet. If we have a chance to absorb the hunting experience of the hungry wolves and the crazy tigers, we will certainly grow up quickly!
"Therefore, after hearing the existence of the 'Holy League', I was overjoyed. The Federation's destiny is truly here!
"Hehe. Not just two super forces, if possible, I really hope that there are ten, twenty, or even a hundred super forces at the center of the cosmos. The messier, the better!
"After all, the resources and relics left by the Star Ocean Imperium are extremely limited. The more super forces there are, the weaker each of them will be. A hundred super forces equals to zero super forces!"
