"Escape from the Land of Sins!"
It was the dream of all the resistance warriors.
"Tell me about your situation right now."
Brilliance beamed out of Li Yao's eyes. Looking at A Boxing Champion, who seemed to have grown two heads at this moment, he was slightly dazed. "A Boxing Champion, what's with your appearance? Where did you get such a precise crystal processor core?"
"We did find the control center of the global sword network in the temple of the Cultivators," A Boxing Champion said.
"However, you should've guessed it already. It was a trap set up by the Immortal Cultivators. Wei Longtao betrayed us and attracted the spiritual puppets of the Immortal Cultivators to surround us. Then, the picture of the battle inside and outside of 'Manjusaka, the City in the Sky' was played to shake our determination.
"A lot of resistance warriors were caught in desperation, but at the last moment, the streams all turned into the pictures of your sabotage. All the spiritual puppets of the Immortal Cultivators were paralyzed, too."
Li Yao nodded. The spiritual puppets of the Immortal Cultivators were directly controlled by "Manjusaka, the City in the Sky". Now that he had completely blown up the control center, the spiritual puppets naturally lost their effectiveness.
"All the spiritual puppets were paralyzed," A Boxing Champion continued. "Some of the Immortal Cultivators were at a loss, but they were scared out of their wits by the pictures of your unstoppable massacre. We immediately broke out of the siege and had a great battle in the 'temple'.
"Then, when the surroundings were in a mess because of our battle, I accidentally discovered the deep structure of the 'temple'. The so-called 'global sword network' did exist. Perhaps it played a role in the 'Judgment War' and dealt a heavy blow to the Immortal Cultivators. Later, it suffered devastating damages and perished below the ground.
"I couldn't repair the 'global sword network', but I found the crystal processor core. It was a piece of rather advanced computational magical equipment that happened to be used to strengthen my computational ability.
"With the enhancement of my computational ability, Zuo Jingyun, Xiahou Wuxin, and I broke out of the siege with a batch of warriors. The Immortal Cultivators including Wei Longtao were all sealed below the ground by us and couldn't get out for a while."
"It's useless even if you come out."
Li Yao smiled. "Right now, 'Manjusaka, the City in the Sky' has completely collapsed. The Immortal Cultivators will not be able to seal the entire sky again in a few months. At this moment, this world is the world of the sinners. If Wei Longtao and the Immortal Cultivators dare to crawl to the ground, what awaits them will certainly be the ocean of fury of the sinners. I'm afraid that they will end up most miserably!"
"But this is not a place to stay for long."
A Boxing Champion said, "If we wait to be killed here, we will be sealed by the Immortal Cultivators again sooner or later. We have to escape at all costs!"
"That's right."
Li Yao said, "We happen to share the same opinion. Right now, the fleet of the Immortal Cultivators is mired in chaos, and a batch of starships from the coalition fleet of Starlight is still dealing with them. This is a precious opportunity for us to escape. But by my estimation, after every day, or even every hour, the chances of escape will be significantly reduced. In a few months, when the Immortal Cultivators reestablish the order, we will have to pay a gory price if we want to escape!
"Therefore, in no more than forty-eight hours, you must find a starship with a space jump ability and get out of here first!"
"Grandpa Yao —"
Han Te and Coloured Glaze grew anxious. "But what about the Village of Peace? What about our family and friends?"
"This is a war. Too much weakness and hesitation are not tolerated in a war."
Looking at Han Te and Coloured Glaze, Li Yao said solemnly, "Tell me, do you want to completely save the Village of Peace, your family and friends, and even the entire Land of Sins and the entire planet of the Martial Meritocrats Sector?"
Han Te and Coloured Glaze looked at each other and nodded heavily. "Of course!"
"Then, you have to get out of here first."
Li Yao said, "You should know by now how vast the universe is and how powerful the Imperium of True Human Beings is, right? Even if one 'Manjusaka, the City in the Sky' is destroyed, the Imperium is still capable of rebuilding ten or even a hundred of them! You care about your family and your home. If you continue to stay here, you will only repeat your life in the past and struggle in desperation with your family. You will end up as lab rats and puppets without any hope!
"If you do not want to continue such a tragic fate, if you do not want the planet of the Martial Meritocrats Sector to be reduced to a 'Land of Sins', and if you do not want to repeat the slaughters and loots that have been going on in the past hundreds of years, run away first. Train yourself and build yourself up in the sea of stars and build a real, powerful Starlight. I believe that you will return with thunder and fury one day and completely liberate the entire Land of Sins!"
His words made all the resistance warriors' breathing quicken.
It was true. In the past hundreds of years, the descendants of the so-called resisters of Starlight had been nothing more than stone rats hiding deep below the ground.
However, the broken sky was right in front of their eyes. From this moment on, it was entirely possible for them to travel in the sea of stars and wake up the strength that had hibernated for a thousand years!
"Can — Can we really become members of Starlight, real resistance warriors, real … Cultivators?"
Han Te and Coloured Glaze asked in disbelief.
"Of course."
Zuo Jingyun could not help but smile. "You were very brave just now. You are one of the few people who fought side by side with us. Of course, you are qualified to be a real member of Starlight!"
"Go now. If you really want to protect your home and save the Martial Meritocrats Sector, it is all the more reason for you to march into the depths of the sea of stars. The bigger the fuss you make in the depths of the sea of stars, the safer the Martial Meritocrats Sector will be. Perhaps you do not understand the logic behind it yet, but trust me. It will not be wrong!"
Li Yao declared resolutely. "I believe that even if Gu Zhengyang were here, he would certainly agree with my choice. Perhaps he is even thinking about how to collect assets, build starships, and break into the sky right now!"
Han Te and Coloured Glaze thought carefully for a moment. Looking at Li Yao's eyes, they confirmed again, "We will certainly be back, won't we?"
"Yes."
With a smile, Li Yao extended his hand from the crowd and grabbed the young man's hand. He said gently but firmly, "We will certainly be back. When we arrive at the Land of Sins again, it will not be as simple as blowing up an insignificant 'Manjusaka, the City in the Sky'.
"Do you still remember what I said?
"The world is wrong.
"Therefore, when we return to the Land of Sins, we will change the entire world!"
Han Te and Coloured Glaze took a deep, deep breath. Looking at each other in the end, they nodded their heads without hesitation. "Got it, Grandpa Yao. We will fight side by side with you, Master A Boxing Champion, and Sister Yun!"
Li Yao smiled and squeezed the young man's hand hard. Then, he turned his eyes to A Boxing Champion. "How are you going to leave?"
"A lot of broken pieces of 'Manjusaka, the City in the Sky' have been scattered to the coastline. We are planning to try our luck there and look for the debris of magical equipment and fuel."
A Boxing Champion tapped his head and said, "Don't forget that I am a refiner above average. With the abundant debris of magical equipment, it is entirely possible for me to assemble a small starship or a space shuttle.
"As long as we have a small starship, a space shuttle, and a Crystal Suit, it will be possible for us to fly beyond the atmosphere and join the branch of Starlight in space. We can even steal a starship of the Immortal Cultivators and perform a space jump. That is the original plan."
"No. It's too risky."
Li Yao shook his head. "Although the Immortal Cultivators are caught in temporary chaos, their main-force fleets have not been seriously damaged except for 'Manjusaka, the City in the Sky'. It is impossible for you to steal a warship easily.
"How about this? A lot of civil carriers are docked in the spaceports of 'Manjusaka, the City in the Sky'. They also boast the ability of space jump. I estimate that the spaceports with solid structures and anti-gravity facilities cannot have all been destroyed during the crash.
"On my way here as fast as I can, I have already scanned the place where the large debris of 'Manjusaka, the City in the Sky' fell. I will give you the coordinates. Let's try our luck and see if we can find an intact civil carrier.
"However, even if we do find a civil carrier, the crew of the starship will still be a big problem. Forget it. Let's find it first!"
The earthly dragon changed the direction and rushed toward the coordinates that Li Yao gave.
At this moment, almost everybody in the entire Land of Sins was rushing to the coastline in all kinds of magical equipment, as if it were the liveliest 'Bliss Ceremony'.
Some people were working together to dig out the burning debris from the ground. Some tough bandits who had not changed their nature were fighting each other. Many more people were staring at the Immortal Cultivators who had escaped from 'Manjusaka, the City in the Sky'. Then, a great show of life-and-death battles took place.
Fire and smoke were everywhere, turning the entire coastline into a battlefield. The situation could not have been more chaotic.
However, in front of the enormous debris that was as magnificent as mountains, as enormous as cities, and as complicated as a maze, all the sinners in the Land of Sins had the urge to worship them, forgetting their competition with each other.
The smallest of the debris was almost a hundred meters in diameter, as if many skyscrapers had been condensed.
The largest of the debris was even more than a thousand meters in diameter. It was truly like a city of giants standing abruptly on the ground.
It could be clearly seen that a lot of the debris were rather intact in structure. They had not been torn apart by brute force but separated voluntarily under the control of the 'forced landing program'. That was the only way to reduce the blast to the minimum.
