Li Yao saw a brand-new universe rising in front of him.
Every star in the universe was condensed from the most dazzling light in a person's life.
The intense joy, fury, sorrow, and delight all congregated with Li Yao's soul and turned into a surging, overwhelming galaxy that marched into the core database of the extraterrestrial devil unstoppably!
"Ahhh! No! Don't kill me, human! We are on the same side … "
The extraterrestrial devil was like a glass ball that had been melted. All its tentacles and flagella were melted. Even the silver shell was dangling with wrinkles.
It let out desperate and twisted screams under the blast of intense feelings and willpower.
The screams soon turned into gulping sounds. Its core database completely collapsed. The waves of energy turned into lackluster curves that drowned in the reverberation of the souls of Li Yao, Professor Mo Xuan, Wei Qingqing, and everybody else!
In reality, the mainframe crystal processor in the District 01 space station, the super crystal processor in the Tinder Base, and the base stations of the Spiritual Nexus around Hundred Flowers City that were responsible for the exchange of information with the seven Sectors all had a series of explosions!
Losing the control of the extraterrestrial devils, the dark void could not hold on any longer. The bottommost layer of the Spiriters' Realm began to collapse. Countless people had exhausted everything in the soul reverberation just now. Their memory pieces scattered like the dust of stars and were attracted by the powerful souls of Li Yao and the experts from the Ancient Sages Sector, contaminating their souls, allowing them to see countless bizarre memory pieces in the blink of an eye!
Li Yao's soul, as the core, crashed into the fundamental database of the extraterrestrial devil directly. Naturally, tremendous information, data, and energy waves of the extraterrestrial devil were absorbed. The foreign energies that were struggling before death raged inside his soul and bashed the gate that was hidden at the bottom level of his soul brutally!
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Li Yao felt that three claps of thunder were echoing in the deepest part of his soul. The seals and the shackles were blown apart, and an invisible gate was slowly opened!
Not long ago, below Deep Blue Super Brain Hospital, the 'gate' had been attacked by the soul of another extraterrestrial devil, which allowed Li Yao to sense the existence of the 'gate'.
Right now, the seal on the gate had been completely broken. Through the gap of the gate that was slightly open, an unbelievable channel seemed to be hidden deep inside his soul that led to another world and allowed him to see the No. 3 planet in a stable solar system, a blue planet.
Earth …
"Ahhh!"
Li Yao wanted to hold his head and roar crazily, but his soul had been melted with the entire universe. He could only drift with the swirl made of thousands of soul pieces.
In a trance, he seemed to hear his own voice. "I'll be back. I'll be back!"
LULL!
Li Yao seemed to have fallen into a bottomless black ocean. His soul was condensed again.
Opposite him, Professor Mo Xuan opened his arms and floated in midair. He was still wearing the plain gray coat. His beard was unkempt, and his hair was white. But the brilliance of attachment, regret, shame, pain, and determination in the deepest part of his eyes made Li Yao realize that he was different from a moment ago.
This was … the real Professor Mo Xuan, exactly the same as a hundred years ago!
At the end of Professor Mo Xuan's open arms, countless threads of light were being pulled by his fingers. The glittering threads seemed to be the extensions of his veins and nerves as they disappeared into the darkness.
Li Yao could sense that the immense life energy was flowing out of Professor Mo Xuan's soul along the threads of light and flowing to somewhere unknown!
The last bit of Professor Mo Xuan's life was burning crazily. His soul was getting weaker and weaker. His body was becoming dim and transparent, too. Starting from his toes, he was even disintegrating into glittering powder inch by inch and drifting into the darkness.
He was walking toward death peacefully with a smile on his face.
Li Yao bulged his eyes. "Professor, what are you doing? Why are you burning your soul crazily?"
"Listen, Li Yao."
Professor Mo Xuan coughed softly and said, "I don't have much time left. I'm glad that I can … end everything in your hands in such a way. Before I leave, I have something to say to you."
"You won't!"
Li Yao said in a hurry. "Now that your remaining soul is still here, there must be a way. You won't die. You've even survived the status of 'Phantom Entity'. There must be a way. Just stop!"
"I have to die."
Professor Mo Xuan said calmly, "I … I mobilized tremendous computational ability to attack you at the last moment without caring about anything. Countless mainframe crystal processors inside and outside of Hundred Flowers City were overloaded. In the end, a lot of mainframe crystal processors exploded because of the fierce battle. Hundred Flowers City was completely out of control!
"Right now, the gravity control rune arrays, the temperature adjustment units, and the oxygen circulation system in every space station are all malfunctioning. If it goes on like this, people will die. Many, many people will die.
"I was the only one who could repair the problems urgently at the cost of my last bit of computational ability and establish a brand-new temporary control circuit to restore 30% of the functionality of Hundred Flowers City.
"Therefore, there's no other way. I'll just consider it as washing away one ten-thousandth of my sins!"
"Professor!"
Li Yao could not tell the difference at all. "Are you yourself or the extraterrestrial devil?"
Professor Mo Xuan struggled to curl his lips. He asked back, "What about you? Are you 100% Li Yao, or are you mixed with some 'mental devils'? Do the so-called 100% Mo Xuan or Li Yao really exist? Did the extraterrestrial devils infect human beings and cause so much evil and ugliness, or were human beings so evil and ugly in the first place that the extraterrestrial devils were attracted to them?
"The questions are too complicated. I'll leave them for you to study! Time is limited. Li Yao, listen to me — "
At this moment, Professor Mo Xuan's legs below his knees all turned into glittering dust and dispersed into the darkness.
A small silver ball of light suddenly popped up from the center of Professor Mo Xuan's eyebrows and slowly floated to Li Yao.
"I told you that I would teach you the ways to enter the Divinity Transformation Stage the next time we meet."
Professor Mo Xuan put on an ugly smile and said, "In fact, you must've understood something just now, didn't you? The so-called Divinity Transformation Stage is not a groundless thing. It is just the release, resonance, infection, and control of the soul. Every Divinity Transformation Stage Cultivator has their own 'domain'. Your domain is perhaps the sound that is triggered by your soul!
"Earlier, you swallowed tremendous soul pieces of the extraterrestrial devils. You should've received a lot of techniques that allow your soul to travel freely on the Spiritual Nexus. This database, on the other hand, is the fruit of my decades of research. It should be able to help you sort out your strength, condense your soul, and advance into the real Divinity Transformation Stage!
"I'm scared that there are still remnants of the extraterrestrial devils in the database. I wouldn't be reassured even if I gave it to somebody else. Since you have the weird 'mental devils' inside your soul and are highly immune to the extraterrestrial devils, you can keep it and do whatever you want with it after it is purged!
"Also — Also, a lot of my research files and experiment data are in the database. They are all about artificial intelligence and the grand-unified Spiritual Nexus.
"Trust me, Li Yao. The grand-unified Spiritual Nexus is really the future of the civilization of mankind. Perhaps I was too hasty today, but don't stop eating for fear of choking. Don't be complacent. Don't avoid the future because you are scared and only seal yourself in the 'present' that seems safe!
"Human beings have to embark on the path to the future after all, right? Just like you said, no matter how much darkness, danger, ugliness, and pain are ahead of us, let's march forward bravely!
"I look forward to the day when the civilization of mankind can really break out of the universe that nurtures and seals us in a brand-new form and take a look at a bigger world!"
As he spoke, he smiled and looked forward to it. His legs gradually disappeared in the wind, leaving only the mottled, lackluster body above his waist.
"I will!"
Li Yao felt that his eyes and heart were burning again. He grasped the essence of Professor Mo Xuan's hundred years of training and said, "To this day, human beings can't live without the Spiritual Nexus anymore. Maybe your dream can really be realized in millions of years, professor!"
"Hehe. I have no doubt about that."
Professor Mo Xuan took a deep breath and slightly raised his voice. "But right now, there is one more thing that I need you to do. There is another extraterrestrial devil that needs to be annihilated by you!"
Li Yao was greatly surprised. "There's another one?"
"The division and reproduction of extraterrestrial devils consume a lot of energy," Professor Mo Xuan explained. "Therefore, since it was swallowed by me a hundred years ago, the extraterrestrial devil has only 'divided' or 'reproduced' twice.
"One of the times was when Lei Yuqin, a brain specialist, split when she was performing soul tests and psychotherapy for me. It then invaded her soul.
"However, it was an unsuccessful split. Lei Yuqin's feelings and ambitions were not very strong, and she did not give birth to a powerful extraterrestrial devil. Therefore, she was annihilated by you in Deep Blue Super Brain Hospital more than easily.
"But before that, when the Virtual Spirits Sector collapsed, there was already a rather successful 'reproduction'. The victim of the corruption was another experiment subject named 'Lu Qingchen'!"
Li Yao was greatly alarmed. "Lu Zui's grandson, Su Changfa's disciple, the president of the CFIA, and the leader of the Immortal Cultivators in the Federation. However, he should be Jin Xinyue's spy — Lu Qingchen!"
"Yes. Do not underestimate him. He boasted intense feelings and enormous ambitions. For the extraterrestrial devils, he — he was even a 'nest' that was even more suitable for them to live on than I was!"
Professor Mo Xuan breathed hard. "According to the plan, we were to split into two teams. I would control everything in the Federation, and he would invade and take over the entire Black Wind Fleet.
"Our plan was a double insurance. If the Federation and the Black Wind Fleet were both heavily wounded, it would naturally be best if we could seize power. But even if something went wrong on my side, as long as he could successfully control and strengthen the Black Wind Fleet, he would still have a chance to suppress the entire Federation!"

Perhaps it was a coincidence that '40,000 Years of Cultivation' was talking about the problems between AI and human beings. In reality, the war between the AI and the chess master in the world of Go was reignited.
Whether or not the AI would surpass human beings in the end and even 'end' human beings in a certain way was beyond Old Bull's imagination. He only wanted to relay the words of the chess master, Ke Jie.
"A new storm is coming. I will devote all my wisdom to the ultimate battle!"
