Every capillary on Li Yao's body seemed to have turned into a hollow icicle, but what was running inside was the hottest magma. His face was blue and red. Lowering his voice with all his strength, he asked, "Is — is there anything else?"
"Yes. A lot of details are described in the alarm," Professor Wang said.
"First of all, the alarm tells the Nuwa Clan outside that the 'Pangu spy' must not be allowed to get in touch with the crystals and Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures that contain super high energy, because when the 'original body' was just born, it was still in a very weak 'embryo' state. It was unlikely that it would remember a lot of things or grasp the techniques that were too powerful. That would be the best time to annihilate it!
"However, if she gets in touch with astronomical energy and resources, her speed of growth will be extremely astonishing. She will break the tipping point at any moment and become a terrifying 'complete body'. By then, even the garrison of an entire planet might not be able to stop her!"
Li Yao swallowed hard. "Well …"
"Secondly, the alarm tells the Nuwa Clan outside that the 'Pangu spy' must not be allowed to get in touch with the super crystal processors with super computational ability," Professor Wang said.
Mr. Wang, the linguist of the primeval age, continued. "Because her evolution seems to involve some very complicated computational problems, she needs the help of super crystal processors in order to pass the most critical threshold and completely unlock the infinite strength inside her body and the memories from hundreds of thousands of years ago.
Li Yao scratched his cheeks hard, his face gloomier than ever. "Anything else?"
"Lastly, and most importantly, she must not be allowed to get in touch with the Nuwa Clan and human beings outside. She must not be allowed to get in touch with … well, there is a symbol here that should mean something similar to our 'Spiritual Nexus'. Yes. She must not be allowed to get in touch with the Spiritual Nexus," Professor Wang said.
"Because she is obviously here with a certain mission from the Pangu, it is very possible that she will seal all the Nuwa Clan and human beings that she gets in touch with and deprive them of their feelings, desires, and will. She may even turn the entire world into a silent graveyard through the Spiritual Nexus.
"Therefore, at the end of the alarm, we warn the garrison of the Nuwa Clan outside in the most intense tone that the Pangu spy is an extremely, extremely, extremely dangerous being. Once she is found, she must be annihilated without any hesitation or hesitation at any cost, even if it means razing the entire planet to the ground!
"President Li, this is getting more and more serious. We thought that the automatic alarm system of the Nuwa warship was triggered only because the seal of the Pangu laboratory was broken. We did not expect that when the seal of the Pangu laboratory was broken a hundred years ago, some Pangu forces had already escaped and corrupted the so-called 'original source' of the Nuwa Clan!
"In other words, it is very possible that a Pangu spy in the form of the Nuwa Clan was active in the Ancient Sages Sector a hundred years ago. She lurked and grew in this place for a hundred years, but we did not know the first thing about it at all. We even built the bridge in space that connects the Federation and the Ancient Sages Sector in our stupidity! This — this — "
The Primordial World linguist, Elder Wang, coughed loudly.
Li Yao sweated hard for a moment, and the veins on his temples looked like infuriated earthworms. He was about to inform all the starships, all the defense lines, and every Exo to be on the highest alert when a new communication request was sent over. It was from Long Yangjun.
Li Yao's pupils constricted to the minimum, and he jumped to his feet all of a sudden.
Managing to hold back his shivering hands, he accepted the other party's communication request. Long Yangjun's smiling face immediately appeared on the light beam.
However, the background was silver. She seemed to be crouching on an enormous egg-shaped chair, and there was no telling where she was exactly.
"Huh. Why are you sweating so hard? You seem to have just been picked up from a pond."
Long Yangjun leaned close to the light beam. Her face grew bigger and bigger as she observed Li Yao carefully. She opened her hands and said, "Excuse me. I was busy just now and didn't have time to chat with you until now. You don't mind, do you?"
"No — I don't mind."
Li Yao wiped his cold sweat with his sleeve hard. His voice was dry and hoarse. "Let me ask you a few 'minor questions'. Well, first of all, have you been in touch with crystals that contain super high energy or the most precious Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures?"
"Of course I have!"
Long Yangjun nodded hard. "Ever since we saved the Xing Yao Federation together, everybody in the Federation has been regarding us as heroes. We have all the crystals and Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures that we want. Most of them were provided by the Glorious Sunlight Group under your name. I said that it was enough and that I did not need so much for my training, but you insisted that I should not be shy when I was in the Glorious Sunlight Group and that I could take whatever I wanted as if I were in my own home. You even made me feel embarrassed. Have you forgotten?"
Li Yao: "… It does seem to be true. Then — then, have you ever been in touch with super crystal processors with high computational ability?"
"Of course I have. Why else would I have tried so hard to join the team investigating 'Extraterrestrial Devil Mo Xuan'? It was exactly so that I could get in touch with the super crystal processors in Hundred Flowers City!"
Long Yangjun said frankly, "Of course, it was a bit redundant in hindsight because the Glorious Sunlight Group has rather advanced super crystal processors, too. Didn't you grant me the special permissions of the highest level for unlimited use? The computational ability of those crystal processors is more or less enough for my training!
"Speaking of which, it's all thanks to you that I've come this far from an ignorant eunuch in the Ancient Sages Sector to … I don't know what I've become. I should really thank you for your support and selfless help. Thank you, Li Yao!"
"You're most welcome," Li Yao said. "It's my responsibility. Thirdly, have you ever been in touch with many people or the Spiritual Nexus? Forget it. Just pretend that I never asked!"
"Okay!"
Long Yangjun said with a smile, "Is there anything else you want to ask? Seize the last opportunity. I'll tell you everything I know!"
Before Li Yao realized what 'last opportunity' meant, the picture on the light beam began to shake rapidly. Long Yangjun's smiling face and her body became blurred, as if they were about to disappear.
At first, Li Yao thought that it was a problem of signal transmission. But a moment later, he suddenly realized that Long Yangjun was in some sort of 'escape capsule' and had entered the launch state!
Li Yao connected all the surveillance pictures outside in a hurry. However, the Land of Eternal Night was still a vast expanse of whiteness and a gloomy sky. Other than the Federation's own starships, no other aircraft could be seen at all!
"Don't waste your time."
Long Yangjun yawned lightly. "The 'shuttle' that I'm on cannot be scanned, captured, or locked onto by the Federation's current technology, much less jamming or shooting me down. Also, the signal was only connected to you after taking almost twenty turns in a special way. At the very least, the source of the signal cannot be traced until I leave!
"Instead of sweating and wasting your time in a hurry, why don't we sit down and have a good talk in the last precious time we have?"
"Fair enough."
Looking at Long Yangjun who was smiling like a flower after the picture was stabilized, Li Yao tried his best to hold back the urge to crawl into the light beam and strangle her. Taking a deep breath, he actually sat down cross-legged and looked at her with complicated feelings. "What … are you exactly? Are you really a Pangu spy in the form of the Nuwa Clan, as the alarm said?"
"So, you have deciphered the alarm. It's a pity that the surveillance system on the Nuwa warship does not understand what is happening inside my 'fetus'. Or rather, such a situation has never happened before, has it?"
Long Yangjun was slightly dazed. Then she smiled and said, "Pangu spy. That is not an accurate description. At the very least, in my own senses, the power of the Pangu Clan does not completely suppress the power of the Nuwa Clan. But they seem to be on par with each other and coexist deep inside my soul, giving me two strengths, two ideologies, and two paths at the same time. What am I exactly in such a situation? To be honest, even I would like to know myself!"
Li Yao found it hard to believe. "So, you're half Pangu and half Nuwa?"
"Maybe."
Long Yangjun shrugged and said, "I'm really not lying to you. From my perspective, it's true that I did not know what I was at first. I was just a child who grew up in the Ancient Sages Sector and had bizarre nightmares since childhood. Even though I tried my best to enter the library of the royal palace and read all the books in the world in order to explore everything, I could not find the mysteries of my birth at all.
"It was not until I met you deep inside the Nuwa warship that the fuzzy memories deep inside my brain became clear. After the battles we went through in the Xing Yao Federation, and especially after I got in touch with the super crystal processors and almost infinite resources, I finally realized who I was exactly.
"But the more I learned, the more confused I became because I always felt that there were two diametrically opposed forces deep inside my soul. One of them was absolute control, and the other was absolute indulgence. They were hostile to each other, and they were killing, swallowing, and transforming each other. I was almost driven crazy!
"Take the battle against the extraterrestrial devils in Hundred Flowers City for example. There were two intense voices deep inside my soul. One of them asked me to annihilate the extraterrestrial devils and even everybody who got in touch with the extraterrestrial devils mercilessly and not leave any hidden problems behind, even if it meant blowing up the entire Hundred Flowers City.
"The other voice, on the other hand, asked me to join the extraterrestrial devils' side and help them carry out the 'virtualization of human beings' plan to the end and see what kind of interesting changes would happen.
