Li Yao was greatly interested in his wife's experience in the Nether World Sector. He was about to pay with his anonymous card and continue reading, when he suddenly sensed someone breathing next to him and chuckling. Frowning, he exited the state of the Half-Step Grand Illusionary Land, only to discover that Long Yangjun was leaning against the shell of his reading cabin and looking at him with a mischievous expression.
"What a … strong woman."
Long Yangjun looked at Ding Ling Dong, who was wearing a cloak with long, fiery hair leaking out of the hood. Her arms were fully covered by crystals, and there was a two-handed giant sword on her waist. She then blinked at Li Yao and said, "I'm almost at your feet. I didn't know that I was faced with such a legend among legends, 'Monster Li'!"
"What about them?"
Li Yao craned his neck and looked around.
"Don't worry."
Long Yangjun said, "They are all too absorbed in the jade chips. Do they have the time to care about anything else? Right now, even if you drag them with nine bulls, you won't be able to drag them out. Even if you beat them with a stick, they might not be woken up. "
"What about you? Why aren't you like them?"
Li Yao changed the topic.
"I can't help myself, either!"
Long Yangjun said with a smile, "However, I believe that the best entry point to get to know a country and a civilization quickly is to read its biographies and learn the brilliant, extraordinary people on the rise of the civilization. That's why I came to this place and happened to run into you. Shouldn't I greet you?"
"Now, you've already greeted me."
Li Yao said stiffly, "Is there anything else?"
"There's something else. I've taken a lot of biographies, but I'm afraid that some of them are crude and absurd. Wouldn't it be a waste of time to read them?"
Long Yangjun said, "As it happens, you're here. Come and check them for me and see if they are full of nonsense!"
She handed over a few jade chips and activated the advertisement light beam on the first jade chip. The name of the biography inside the jade chip popped up.
He Changed the Life of Li Yao in the Federation
Above the title of the book was a young man with a resolute face, a calm expression, and blazing flames in his eyes. At first glance, one could tell that he was a man of great talent and vision. He had the temperament of a leader. His hands were on his hips as he gazed at the endless bright stars.
Li Yao: "…"
"Look, look!"
Long Yangjun exclaimed in shock and touched a corner of the picture. The picture immediately jumped from the cover to the title page.
On the title page, against the backdrop of the deep sea of stars, there was only one sentence that seemed to have been condensed by lightning and was extremely dazzling.
"Each of us is a star. If we burn, the universe will never be dark, Li Yao."
Li Yao: "Huh?"
"I can't stop admiring you. I didn't know that not only could you intimidate the two toughest women of the federation, you could also say something so philosophical. According to the rules of this world, I'm even tempted to ask you for an autograph!" Long Yangjun nodded. "That's right.
Li Yao: "… Well, I don't remember saying anything so pretentious before."
"Is that so?"
Long Yangjun raised her eyebrow and changed to another jade chip. "What about this one? 'The 999 Maxims that Li Yao Gave to the Young Cultivators Before He Left'? "
Li Yao: "Well, I don't think so, either."
"It can't be. Is it really so unbearable for the descendants to exaggerate and exaggerate? Then, what about this one?"
Long Yangjun took out a third jade chip. "'The Romantic History of the Old Federation, Li Yao, and His Women'. Wow. The content of this book is quite shocking. It says that you and your disciple Jin Xinyue are in an ambiguous relationship. That's why Ding Ling Dong and Jin Xinyue are in such a bad relationship. To this day, the competition between Skyfire and the Patriots Front, the two greatest forces in the Federation, is exactly because the two women are fighting for a husband! Tsk, tsk, tsk. Although it sounds absurd and not worth reading, since you are here in person, I might as well verify it with you. Is it true, Monster Li? "
Li Yao: "… No comment!"
Long Yangjun asked, "So, it's true?"
Li Yao: "… Nonsense!"
"Hehe. So, you have finally admitted that you are Vulture Li Yao, the legendary dominator of three Sectors and the founding ancestor of the Federation, haven't you?"
"I don't know about the dominator of three Sectors," Li Yao said, "but I am Vulture Li Yao. Is there a problem?"
Long Yangjun blinked. "Huh. I feel that your entire vibe has changed after you returned to this place. You are truly more and more like 'Monster Li'. It seems that you are not worried about your identity being exposed anymore!"
Looking at the image of Ding Ling Dong in the advertisement on the jade chip in his hand and the cover of the biography about Jin Xinyue that could be seen everywhere not far away, Li Yao put on a confident and casual smile and said casually, "I drifted in the sea of stars for almost a hundred years before I finally found the Ancient Sages Sector. To be honest, I was indeed rather uneasy at that time, not knowing what happened to the Federation in the past hundred years.
"Did the unification of the Heaven's Origin Sector, the Blood Blood Sector, and the Flying Star Sector go smoothly? Were the demons really willing to be transformed into human beings? Would other human beings not discriminate against those with demon bloodlines? Could Ding Ling Dong really intimidate the radical, extreme guys of the Patriots Partnership in the past? Would the expedition army of the Imperium arrive in advance and already savaging my motherland?
"I don't have the answers to any of those questions!
"At that time, I thought that I was shouldering the fate of the entire Federation, and that my every move would decide the future of the Federation. It was inevitable that I was somewhat hesitant and hesitant.
"However, now that I've returned to my hometown, although the Xing Yao Federation today is not a perfect country and still has all kinds of problems, it is much better than what I imagined. Ding Ling Dong, Jin Xinyue, and all the other citizens of the Federation are all struggling in their own ways!
"Just now, when I saw Ding Ling Dong walking in the world of the undead by herself and performing magnificent feats that even I might not have been able to achieve, I suddenly thought it through.
"Perhaps, I am not as important as I have always thought, am I?
"The future of the Federation is not and should not be decided by me alone but by me, Ding Ling Dong, Jin Xinyue, and countless other warriors, citizens, and ordinary people. Even if one of us makes a mistake in a certain plan, it is impossible for us to stop the rise of the Federation!
"I have no doubt that the Xing Yao Federation will show you its strength and hope so that you will make the right choice. Then, does it matter what my identity is exactly, and whether or not it is exposed?"
Long Yangjun's mischievous face was somewhat frozen.
It was as if a delicate disguise had been shattered by Li Yao's resolute words. Confusion and emptiness were revealed from the tiny gaps.
After hesitating for a long time, she finally sighed softly and said gloomily, "It suddenly occurs to me that I am very jealous of you. Hehe. Jealousy is another … emotion that I have never experienced before. It is a very amazing feeling."
Li Yao was slightly dazed. "What are you jealous of?"
"I am jealous that you have so many family, friends, and compatriots who can make you fight for them wholeheartedly, and most of them are willing to fight for you wholeheartedly, aren't they? I've just read a story about you in the 'Riot of Patriots'. If you don't exaggerate too much, it will be a very thrilling experience. "
Long Yangjun read the jade chip 'Li Yao and His Women' again and again and said, "You have only slept in the sea of stars for a hundred years. Right now, you have returned to your home, met your family and friends, and absorbed immense strength from them!
"But what about me?
"I slept for at least hundreds of thousands of years. Did I have my family, friends, and compatriots hundreds of thousands of years ago? I should have. But today, I'm afraid that they have all turned into the scraps of the stars and dispersed into nothingness.
"You have been asking me what my purpose is, and I have been asking myself what I woke up for, too. However, whatever my purpose and destiny are, even if they are accomplished, my family, friends, and compatriots in the past should not be able to see them anymore, right? Then, what's the point of everything?
"I'm afraid that I will never be able to fight for my family, friends, compatriots, and civilization as wholeheartedly as you do. I will worry for them, I will cheer for them, I will cheer for them, and I will be in high spirits for them!"
"Tell me, shouldn't I be jealous of you?"
Li Yao was dazed. He did not expect Long Yangjun to have such mixed feelings.
Pondering for a moment, he extended his hands to Long Yangjun and said sincerely, "You've seen it. The Xing Yao Federation today is not a self-enclosed country but an open and tolerant civilization. Whoever you are, as long as you are willing to uphold the spirit of the Federation, you can become a citizen of the Xing Yao Federation!
"I don't care what your destiny is exactly, but until there is no solid evidence that warrants suspicion, I am willing to regard you as a … friend, a 'cosmic friend'. I believe that the Federation will open the door to you, too.
"If you are willing, you can totally consider the Xing Yao Federation as your new motherland. You can find new friends and even family here. You can find a target that is worth protecting and fighting for with everything you have!
"The destiny from hundreds of thousands of years ago … Perhaps it won't matter even if it cannot be fulfilled, right?"
After Li Yao finished his sentence, he suddenly felt a slight pain in his head.
The four words that had not bothered him for a long time popped up like ghosts.
The Vulture Plan.
Long Yangjun stared at Li Yao thoughtfully for a long time, but she did not see the slightest hypocrisy on Li Yao's face. She could not help but chuckle. "What you said just now deserves one more point!"
Li Yao was dazed again. "One more point? What do you mean by one more point?"
"You will know it later. Right now, let's go back to our books!"
