Liu Wenshan could not give them the answers to those questions.
But somebody else could.
Lei Yuqin floated in midair. Her brainwaves that had fallen into silence before were surging again. Feeble flames were surging out of her eyes as if she were having a momentary recovery.
The white hair on her head was standing up like an upside-down waterfall. Her laughter was spreading out ripples in the air.
The satisfied laughter seemed to indicate that her destiny had been fulfilled, and she could return to the eternal embrace of the universe with a clear conscience!
"You —"
The flames of spiritual energy around Li Yao and Long Yangjun soared and turned into shackles of spiritual energy that bound Lei Yuqin tightly. They were even condensed into thorns that crawled into her brain, preventing her from launching a counterattack with the last of her vitality.
Li Yao bellowed, "Lei Yuqin, is this how you and Professor Mo Xuan save people? Professor Mo Xuan is in there! "
"To save people. To save everyone."
Lei Yuqin's old skin that was full of wrinkles and spots gradually emitted gentle brilliance from inside to outside. Her voice gradually regained the vigor of stubbornness. "What kind of army is there to save people in such a way? I am a doctor. I have tried my best to treat my patients. I have never harmed anyone!
"The patients whose brains were not seriously damaged and whose souls were mostly preserved woke up a long time ago under my careful treatment. They were discharged from the hospital and returned home!
"The rest of them all suffered serious brain damage, and their souls were mostly incomplete. It was impossible for them to wake up no matter what. Activating their souls by force and releasing them to live in the outside world would only result in them being corrupted by the pervasive radiation. They would grow old and perish quickly. Even a minor sunspot outbreak might completely tear them apart!
"That's why I invited them to live in the Spiriters' Realm. This is the only place that suits them. It is the new home for the Spiriters!"
Lei Yuqin declared confidently. Her eyes were clearer and clearer. There was not the slightest regret or regret on her face.
Li Yao burst into fury. "How about the bodies of the battle-type Cultivators? You have refined the bodies of vegetative patients into terrifying weapons! Are you still shameless enough to call yourself a doctor after doing such a crazy thing? "
"For a doctor, a body without a soul is just an ordinary piece of flesh."
Lei Yuqin said casually, "Tens of thousands of years ago, when everybody regarded the dead bodies of their own kind as some sort of sacred taboo, the doctors began to dissect and study human bodies. Some of the doctors even dug up the bodies that had just been buried in the graveyard and dissected them in secret. It was exactly the creepy behavior that became the foundation of modern medicine and saved millions of people in the future!
"Those battle-type Cultivators are all in deep comas because of mental derangement. They are close to brain death. After the souls of those who can be rescued are transferred to the artificial brains, their bodies will be nothing more than a cluster of common flesh and blood. They are medical garbage that must be thrown away, just like the tumors cut off during surgery. Why can't we make use of the garbage to defend our cause and the future of mankind?"
Li Yao gnashed his teeth. "You make it sound nice, but you and Professor Mo Xuan imprisoned them and forced them to conduct studies. You also lied to their families and did not let them know where their souls were hidden!"
Lei Yuqin smiled and said, "Yes. That is the only thing that I have done wrong to them and the title of 'doctor'. However, their families will learn the truth very soon, and they will be able to meet them. Very soon …"
A bad feeling popped up in Li Yao's heart. He strengthened the thorns of spiritual energy and demanded, "What are you up to exactly? Where did Professor Mo Xuan go with a large batch of 'battle shells' and 'Deviant Spirits'?"
Lei Yuqin continued smiling. Her eyes passed Li Yao and Long Yangjun, as if she could see through the solid shell of the universal city and into the depths of the sea of stars. In a tone that was almost like singing, she said, "A war is about to break out. The war between the Xing Yao Federation and the expedition army of the Imperium will be an unprecedented battle that will burn up the entire sea of stars. Countless heroes will perform countless touching legends, and countless innocent people will die in silence as a string of cold names on a monument. Some of them will not even leave their names behind, like a grain of dust among the stars that will never be discovered."
What she said was exactly the same as what Professor Mo Xuan had once said.
"When the Imperium rises, the people suffer. When the Imperium dies, the people suffer. Even if the Xing Yao Federation wins the war at a high price, so what? Is this the last war of the Federation? "
Looking at Li Yao, Lei Yuqin slightly shook her head and said, "No. The Xing Yao Federation is marching to the center of the cosmos. Both the ambitious Jin Xinyue and Ding Ling Dong, who claims to liberate all the oppressed people in the universe, are the embodiments of slaughter and the messengers of destruction. They crave war, war, and more war like drug addicts!
"War … War never ends. Even if the Xing Yao Federation does march to the center of the cosmos one day and form a triangle with the Imperium of True Human Beings and the Alliance of the Holy Covenant, where half of the total population of the three thousand Sectors are wiped out and the Imperium of True Human Beings and the Alliance of the Holy Covenant are finally united under a certain flag, it will not be the end of eternity but a break in the war!
"Therefore, what's the point of the Xing Yao Federation winning the war in the traditional way? What's the point of defeating the Imperium of True Human Beings and the Holy Covenant? What's the point of becoming the greatest superpower in the universe? The federation would perish in the dust of the universe after ten thousand years, just like the Star Ocean Imperium in the past. Wars, shortages, and difficulties would come back immediately, turning into an endless loop that haunted the civilization of mankind and could never be solved!
"What are we trying to do exactly?
"Hehe. We are trying to solve the endless loop! We are going to end the wretched war! We are going to end mankind's endless thirst for resources! We are going to end the sufferings, oppression, and inequality that are inherent to human beings!
"We are going to create a paradise. We are going to create a new world that is eternally peaceful, devoid of conflicts, wars, and sufferings, and where anyone's every need can be satisfied!
"I don't know who you are exactly and why you boast such immense strength, but whoever you are, join us!"
Lei Yuqin extended her hands at Li Yao and Long Yangjun. At this moment, the brilliance in her eyes had completely swallowed her eyeballs, as if two orange fireballs were blossoming directly from her eye sockets. Her voice, on the other hand … did not sound like she was alone but like the overlapping voices of thousands of people, men, women, and children, bursting out of her dry chest.
"Join us and create a beautiful new world together!
"Join us! Life is but a dream, and the only reality is illusions!"
"Join us. In the Spiriters' Realm, there will be no distinction between the rich and the poor, the smart and the stupid, the ordinary people and the Cultivators. Everybody will be able to establish a world of their own and become the king of the universe!
"Join us. As long as all mankind lives in the Spiriters' Realm and all the resources can be simulated, we will be able to end the eternal war and save everybody!"
The highly condensed voices spread out in all directions and crashed into the cold wall. The childish laughter of a child, the passionate roars of a young man, the gentle and firm voice of a woman, and the regretful sighs of an old man could be vaguely recognized.
The broken pieces of the thousands of voices all turned into four words.
"Join us … Join us … Join us … Join us …"
Li Yao had seen too many weird, hair-raising scenes before.
But right now, Lei Yuqin, who was dying and being suppressed by two Yuanying monsters, gave him the most creepy feeling that he had never felt before.
"You're crazy. You're crazy!"
Li Yao mumbled. "Professor Mo Xuan himself said that evolution is not something that can be accomplished overnight. Even if you really believe that the virtual life form is the direction of the evolution of the civilization of mankind, you shouldn't compress the evolution that will take thousands of years into one moment. You won't succeed!"
"Yes. It's true that we shouldn't do that."
Lei Yuqin smiled miserably and said gloomily, "What we're going to do may be wrong. It may be very likely that we will fail. It may be 99% that we will be nailed to the pillar of shame in history as an unpardonable negative example.
"But, but a doctor has the heart of a parent. How can I bear to watch so many of my compatriots, as well as their descendants, still struggle bitterly in the fire and swamp of the real world, be tortured to death …"
Faced with Lei Yuqin's sacred face, which was a mixture of compassion and righteousness, Li Yao was completely lost for words.
Long Yangjun, however, bulged her eyes and shouted, "I know it now. Professor Mo Xuan must've brought his army of ghosts to the Information Processing Center of the Grand-Unified Spiritual Nexus. Hundred Flowers City is the transportation and information hub of the Federation. The Information Processing Center here is the most important node of all the Spiritual Nexus in the entire Federation!
"At first, we only speculated that Professor Mo Xuan wanted to control the three 'Gai' -level super crystal processors, and perhaps even more 'Jing' -level super crystal processors. But from what we can see now, his appetite is much larger than we imagined. What he wants to control is the Spiritual Nexus, the network of everybody including the Xing Yao Federation and the Black Wind Fleet!"
In the middle of Long Yangjun's exclamation, Lei Yuqin burst into high-pitched laughter. At some point, her white hair was burning furiously like pure fire, illuminating the entire chamber.
"You've learned it too late!"
A weird smile was all over Lei Yuqin's face. Her voice turned deep and dull, like the rumbling thunder from the depths of the universe. It was not her tone at all but a completely different existence that was bellowing. "Now that you've come this far, do you still want to leave?"
Every pore on Li Yao's body was constricted to the minimum.
The half-open iron gate behind them, on the other hand, was closed as quickly as lightning before the two Yuanying experts took action.
The flames of light spurting out of Lei Yuqin's eye sockets enshrouded her entire head. Her skull seemed to have been replaced by a dazzling supernova. Despite the suppression of Li Yao and Long Yangjun's spiritual energy, they could not suppress the explosive energy that was spurting out of her brain and did not belong to the training system of human beings!
