Inside the test room, the green-haired gorilla was still on a rampage. His fists that were as heavy as hammers hit Li Jialing nonstop like a storm, almost drowning the young man's tiny body.
Suddenly, mystic rays flashed around, and dozens of red spots appeared on the green-haired gorilla's body again. Powerful anesthetics were injected into his body.
He grunted at first, before he scratched his body as if his skin were itching. Staggering and dancing drunkenly for a moment, he collapsed to the ground.
Lying in a pool of blood with wounds all over his body, Li Jialing looked at the green-haired gorilla who was sound asleep emotionlessly and sighed softly.
The seemingly flawless wall slid to two sides without a sound. A few fully-armed Exos came in and dragged the green-haired gorilla out.
But no doctor or researcher came to examine Li Jialing's condition, as if everybody knew that the flesh wounds would not have any substantial effect on the young man.
"Chi …"
Unpredictable mist spread out on the wall, cleaning the blood and stains in the blink of an eye. The room was restored to the spotless, translucent state.
Li Lingfeng and Wuying Lan next door, on the other hand, walked further and further away and left the control room.
When the gate of the secret chamber was closed again and turned into a wall that did not have any gaps, Li Jialing, whose fleshly body was healing quickly, and Neltharion, where part of Li Yao's soul was stored, were the only things left in the secret chamber.
Sensing that the two clusters of powerful life energy were gradually leaving, Li Yao was more or less relieved. He could finally spare more computational ability to search the deepest part of his memory palace.
"This young man, this face …"
Staring at Li Yao's face that was full of bitterness, helplessness, and sorrow, Li Yao's memories of the past were raging inside his brain like a surging flood.
Countless mottled faces brushed past his soul, all the way back to when he was a teenager a long, long time ago.
"Wait!"
The mental devil suddenly said, "Have you noticed that the boy is a lot like your father?"
"What are you talking about?"
Li Yao was slightly stunned. Then, he trembled all over and almost lost his composure. He gasped, "Now that you mention it, it's true. This kid's facial features and the temperament between his eyebrows are really like my father who is always drunk!"
Of course, Li Yao's memories from his previous life on 'Earth' played an important role in making him what he was today. But his foster father's meticulous care and guidance, especially when he taught him the basics of maintenance and refining, were also inseparable.
Without his foster father, he would not be who he was today. Perhaps' Vulture Li Yao 'would have been nothing more than a wild brat in the magical equipment graveyard. At best, he would have become a mafia boss. Even the fate of the entire Xing Yao Federation would have been changed because of him. Perhaps, the Federation would have ceased to exist a long time ago!
When he was a teenager before Ding Ling Dong showed up, Li Yao's only family in the world other than the weird dreams on Earth was his foster father.
His foster father had protected him in the dangerous environment of the magical equipment graveyard countless times. Other than helping him lay a solid foundation in the arts of refining, he had also taught him the fundamental principles that he should see the light above his head even when he was deep in the mud of darkness.
Li Yao and his foster father were very close. They were like real father and son who were connected by blood.
Right. Perhaps' Little Black 'could be counted as half a family, but Little Black was also brought by his foster father.
Also, his foster father had hidden a will and half a strange key in Little Black's body, and he had also told him about his own origins.
His foster father was not a member of the Federation but from the most mysterious Alliance of the Holy Covenant. However, he was also in a complicated relationship with a woman named 'Li Linghai' from the Imperium of True Human Beings. He even asked Li Yao to come to the Imperium for help when the Federation was on the verge of collapse, as if his foster father believed that this Li Linghai would certainly protect and help him.
The relationship between his foster father and Li Linghai was definitely unusual.
This Li Linghai, on the other hand, was a core member of the 'Li family', one of the four most powerful Kurfürst families in the Imperium of True Human Beings. She was also the queen of the Imperium of True Human Beings!
Even though the emperor of the Imperium was no longer as authoritative as Blackstar the Great in the past after a thousand years, the emperor was the emperor after all, and the queen was the queen after all!
"So, what kind of melodramatic family ethics drama is this?"
Li Yao's head was in a mess.
After observing the appearance of the mysterious young man carefully, especially after scanning his facial organs and bone structure, he was even more certain that it was him!
When his foster father fled to the Xing Yao Federation at the edge of the cosmos, he was already a haggard, wounded, and dying middle-aged man.
His face that had been weathered by storms was naturally as old as the dry bark of a tree.
Also, he had a messy, white beard all year round, and his face was full of grime and oil stains. The smell of alcohol lingered around him every day. Even Li Yao had barely seen his clean face.
At first glance, he was completely different from the mysterious young man who was full of flesh and blood and whose skin was translucent.
It was also the reason why Li Yao failed to see through him at first glance.
However, after scanning their facial organs and bone structure deeply, and sensing the similar vibe between their eyebrows carefully, Li Yao discovered that the two of them were shockingly similar in certain aspects!
Li Yao, who had spent a lot of time with his foster father, couldn't have noticed the unique vibe of the guy who had been with his foster father for so long.
However, as long as he did, it would be a blatant lie to say that Li Yao's foster father was not related to the mysterious young man.
"Is he … Is he our foster father's biological child?"
The mental devil asked. "Didn't we speculate that he had an affair with Li Linghai, Queen of the Imperium? Then, it is perfectly normal that they had a child in secret!
"Wow. As expected of Vulture Li Yao's foster father. He is capable of cuckolding His Majesty, the supreme emperor of the Imperium of True Human Beings. He is truly unbelievably strong!"
"Don't talk nonsense!"
Li Yao was amused. "My foster father fled to the Xing Yao Federation a hundred and thirty years ago. So, even if he is related to Li Linghai, it must have been a hundred and fifty years ago. If he does have a biological child, he would be more than a hundred years old right now!
"If he is an Immortal Cultivator, he will be in the prime years of his life, the standard middle age and prime years. If he is an ordinary person, he will be old already. In any case, he will not be such a young man who is almost out of his skin!"
"Not necessarily," the mental devil said.
"Don't forget that the artificial insemination and breeding technologies have reached the most advanced nowadays. It is not technically difficult to freeze and preserve the life seeds for a hundred years. Didn't you leave some life seeds in the Federation and go missing mysteriously after being frozen for a hundred years? Chances are that a few lively babies will jump out of nowhere in a few days, hug your thigh, and call you dad. It will be perfectly normal! "
"Pooh! Pooh!"
Li Yao shuddered hard. "Don't jinx it. Don't go too far!"
"I'm not scaring you. I'm only trying to make it clear that, assuming that our foster father left some life seeds in the Imperium of True Human Beings, it is entirely technically feasible for his offspring to be bred after being frozen for a hundred years."
The mental devil grimaced. "It is even possible that he left a descendant more than a hundred years ago, but the descendant was in the hibernation state all the time. The body functions were slowed to the minimum. Even the growth and development of the descendant were frozen, and it was not until recently that the descendant was' unfrozen '. It is possible, too.
"In any case, in the center of the cosmos and the edge that span billions of lightyears, two people with such similar facial features, bone structure, and especially temperament have appeared. The odds of coincidence are too low. The mysterious young man must be deeply related to our foster father, right?"
"Yes."
Li Yao agreed with the mental devil's conclusion.
The mental devil was the other side of his soul in the first place. So, it was also his own conclusion.
Li Yao was deeply in love with his foster father. He was also very curious about his foster father's background and past. If the young man was truly deeply related to his foster father, it would be his duty to find out the truth and protect the mysterious young man!
It was at this moment that something strange happened.
The mysterious young man 'Li Jialing' suddenly looked at Neltharion, as if he had noticed it.
He sensed it?
Li Yao thought of something.
The mysterious young man's toughness was far beyond his expectation. Or maybe, he was too excited when he discovered that the mysterious young man was very similar to his foster father and accidentally leaked an insignificant ripple?
But after the glance, Li Yao sensed deeper feelings in the mysterious young man's seemingly tranquil eyes.
The impression that the mysterious young man left on him just now was that he was utterly desperate about his situation and his future, as if he were dragging a shell that resembled a walking corpse and waiting for death to come.
However, the eyes of the mysterious young man that flashed briefly at this moment were like a lost man in a desert who had found an oasis, a drowning man who had found a piece of driftwood, or an adventurer who had found a marvelous weapon that was enough to slay tigers and dragons!
His eyes were like frozen magma. It was definitely not the look of someone who was waiting to be slaughtered!
"Sh * t."
Li Yao was worried that the young man would act recklessly. After all, although the two clusters of unparalleled life energy next door had left, dozens of crystal cameras were still monitoring the secret chamber. Traces might be exposed after one moment of carelessness.
However, the young man was calmer than he thought. His eyes were only frozen in midair for half a second before he moved away. Then, he coughed loudly. While coughing, he moved his body that had just been repaired and crouched on the floor again. The desire for survival that was as intense as a storm in his eyes was hidden again, and he turned into a walking corpse without a soul again.
"What an interesting kid!"
