Long Yangjun burst into laughter. Holding her stomach, she kicked her legs crazily. "You are so funny. If I didn't have to search for my real destiny, chances are that I wouldn't mind staying in the Federation and hanging out with you!"
Li Yao coughed loudly. "What do you mean by 'hanging out'? Speaking of which, what are you up to exactly? You can find your destiny even if you stay in the Federation!"
"Forget it. I can't even tell myself who I am. Although I'm willing to trust you, I cannot stop other Cultivators from being suspicious and hostile toward me!"
Long Yangjun smiled casually. "Besides, the edge of the cosmos is too small after all. I want to take a look at the vaster world and see how the civilizations of mankind in the Imperium of True Human Beings and the Alliance of the Holy Covenant operate, what the people there are protecting, and what kind of future they are fighting for. Only then will I be able to find my real destiny, right?"
Li Yao was rather frustrated. "Are you going to the Imperium?"
"Of course, even if the strength from the Pangu and the Nuwa Clan does flow inside my body, it is only the strength of two bottom-level commanders in a certain base at the edge of the cosmos. It is impossible for them to uncover all the mysteries."
Long Yangjun said solemnly, "If human beings are truly the most perfect 'tools' or 'carriers' created by the Pangu and the Nuwa Clan, what exactly happened in the last years of the primeval war that made the Pangu and the Nuwa Clan disappear and human beings themselves are the only ones left?
"Also, what is the most perfect form of human beings? Is it really what it looks like right now?
"According to the Pangu, if one cannot contain their ambitions and desires, the universe may be destroyed or erased by the will of the universe. The former is easy to understand, but what is the 'will of the universe' for the latter? Is it some sort of rhetorical device, or is it a real force that is of a higher level than the Pangu and the Nuwa Clan?
"There are many more questions that I don't know the answers to. I want to find the answers to all of them. Such answers cannot be found in the Xing Yao Federation. I can only go to the Imperium of True Human Beings at the center of the cosmos!
"You know that, in order to find the answer, I even disguised myself and snuck into the library of the royal palace of the Great Qian Dynasty. As I expected, I discovered the secrets of the Nuwa warship deep inside the Land of Eternal Night.
"According to the captives on Firefly and the Immortal Cultivators, there is an enormous, all-encompassing royal library deep inside the capital of the Imperium of True Human Beings, which has been passed on since the age of the Star Ocean Imperium to this day. All the secrets of the past tens of thousands of years are stored inside.
"In that case, why can't I sneak into the royal library of the Imperium of True Human Beings again like 'Eunuch Wang Xi' in the past? Who knows, I might even find some unexpected things!
"Also, the Supreme Emperor, who led the civilization of mankind out of the Great Dark Age ten thousand years ago, and his strongest clone, the Mad Armageddon, who was corrupted by the extraterrestrial devils. What's going on exactly? Do they know part of the secrets of the primeval war, too? Can they resolve my confusion and illuminate the way ahead for me?
"Everything can only be revealed at the center of the cosmos. So, I have to go there!"
While Long Yangjun was talking, the picture blurred again.
It was obvious that the 'shuttle' that she was on had been accelerated to an unbelievable speed. It was even flying in a way that was beyond 'speed'.
"However —"
Rolling her beautiful eyes, she smiled sweetly. "Now that I've been supported by you all the way here, my gratitude will not be just empty words. Ever since we entered the Pangu laboratory, I've reminded you many times and told you a lot of truths. Now, I'm going to answer one last question for you. You must seize the opportunity and think carefully about what you want to ask!"
Li Yao could not help but clench his fists. He asked without any hesitation, "Alright. Then, tell me. Did you intentionally lead 'Sha Yue' to the crab factory to create a reborn Pangu so that you could stimulate the recovery of your memories?"
Long Yangjun was slightly dazed. She could not help but frown. "You only have one precious opportunity, and you want to ask such an insignificant question?"
Li Yao gnashed his teeth. "It is not an insignificant question. It is very important for me. Trust me, it is important for you, too!"
Long Yangjun chuckled. "What if I say 'yes'?"
Staring at her, Li Yao said, one word after another, "The exploration operation this time was highly dangerous. Everybody was prepared to sacrifice themselves before they entered the Pangu laboratory. If it was an accident, we would have nothing to say even if we were all annihilated. But if you intentionally lured our teammates into danger in order to achieve your own purpose, I will find you, kill you, and avenge 'Sha Yue' even if I have to chase you to the center of the cosmos!"
"Tsk, tsk, tsk. You do have some of the dominance of 'Monster Li'!"
Long Yangjun covered her mouth and chuckled. Not scared of Li Yao's threat at all, she still said dutifully, "Although I don't have any proof, and I can't influence whether you believe me or not, it was truly an accident. At that time, when I was' revisiting the old haunt ', the two forces deep inside my brain were in serious conflict, which threw me into chaos. Also, the black fog that blocked the search of telepathic thoughts was so dense that it was impossible for me to take care of every member of the exploration team.
"If it was really intentional on my part, 'Sha Yue' wouldn't have been the only victim. I could've released a few more giant crabs and created a few more 'Pangu reincarnators'. I could've captured one or two of them alive for studies, couldn't I?
"However, now that you mention it, I might as well admit it honestly. In fact, I did consider whether or not to sacrifice the lives of a few members of the exploration team in order to stimulate the secrets deep inside my brain. But after hesitating for a while, I gave up the idea in the end. Do you know why?"
"Why?" Li Yao asked.
"What if I say that it's for the sake of our friendship because I'm scared that we won't be friends anymore if I do that?" Long Yangjun said.
"Hiss —"
Li Yao had goosebumps all over his body. Rubbing his arms hard, he said, "We are both adults more than a hundred years old. Can you stop talking about such disgusting things?" Long Yangjun burst into laughter.
"If you find it disgusting, let me change to a simpler analogy. Let's say that you see a round, silly, snot retard on the street. He is holding a rainbow lollipop carefully in his hands solemnly and honestly, as if he is protecting his whole world. Let me ask you. Can you bear to kick the retard to the ground, snatch his lollipop, and smash it into pieces?"
Li Yao seemed to have swallowed a fly. "What kind of crappy analogy is that? Of course, I wouldn't do that. Which normal person would have the heart to do that?"
"That's right. In my eyes, Cultivators like you are the retards in the universe. The so-called beauty of humanity, friendship, trust, protection, hope … All in all, the basket of bright things are the most vulnerable lollipops that you have been carefully protecting in your palms." Long Yangjun sighed.
Long Yangjun sighed and said, "In the past few years, you, as a retard, have trusted me so much and truly regarded me as a friend. You think that even a 'monster' from the Ancient Sages Sector with mysterious origins can become a real Cultivator. If I deceive you, take advantage of you, and even intentionally cause the miserable deaths of some innocent people, it will be like a retard who is sincerely offering me a beautiful, delicate, and wonderful lollipop with a silly smile on his face, only for me to slap him in the face and snatch the lollipop from him, smashing it to the ground and crushing it brutally.
"Tell me, how intense is the sense of guilt? How can I bear it?"
Li Yao was dazed for a long time, but he was still confused. "… Are you praising me or cursing me?"
"Of course I'm praising you!"
Long Yangjun said solemnly, "Although it is true that you are a retard, it was also you who taught me to care for the retards in the past few years without me knowing it! In the past, I did not have the concept of 'guilt' or 'pity' at all. I did not care about anyone other than myself. Therefore, it was all thanks to your tutelage! "
Li Yao automatically ignored the mockery in Long Yangjun's words and vaguely believed what she said.
Looking at him, Long Yangjun couldn't help but laugh again. "Forget it. Don't say that I'm not grateful. Consider the minor question just now a complimentary one. I'll give you one last chance to ask. You really must think carefully this time!"
"Alright!"
This time, Li Yao really considered carefully for a moment before he asked, "I want to know what the so-called 'Chaos' or 'extraterrestrial devils' have to do with human beings.
"When I was fighting with Heavenly Devil Mo Xuan and Heavenly Devil Lu Qingchen, they once said that human beings were also a kind of Extraterrestrial Devils. At that time, I only thought that they were trying to mislead the public and disturb my mind.
"However, after collecting the last words of the commanders of the Pangu Clan and the Nuwa Clan, and even sensing the information that the remaining soul of the Nuwa Clan's commander sent out, it seems to be true.
"However, it doesn't make sense. If human beings are a type of extraterrestrial devils, what about the possession of the extraterrestrial devils later? Could the same body be occupied by tens of thousands of heavenly devils?
"Also, the extraterrestrial devils are very weird, too. Some of them boast powerful thinking abilities, some only have simple self-awareness and instincts, and some are ignorant and only have the most fundamental waves.
