Li Yao was greatly enlightened.
If the mysterious world fragment that Li Linghai and his foster father were trapped in was the 'Empyrean Transcendence Sector' where the Supreme Emperor perished, everything would make sense now!
The Supreme Emperor was an out-and-out 'emperor of the ages' and an expert at the peak of the world. Not to mention all of his heritages, even 1% of his heritages would be enough to completely change a girl who was' weak and sentimental 'and turn her into a person who was farsighted and shrewd, wouldn't she?
His foster father used to be a member of the Holy League whose feelings had been suppressed. But it was not strange that the Supreme Emperor's strength leaked out of the 'Gold Throne' and broke the boundary of the so-called 'Three Fundamental Laws'.
After all, the Supreme Emperor had received three volumes of the Book of Revelation and had a profound understanding of the Pangu civilization. It was not strange that he could come up with a solution to the Three Fundamental Laws.
Also, a lot of the Supreme Emperor's secret treasures should have been stored in the 'Empyrean Transcendence Sector'. The Crystal Suit, the starships, the Colossi, and all kinds of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures were not a problem at all. With the Supreme Emperor's secret treasures, it would be much easier for the queen to recruit, raise, and grow her subordinates.
In the meantime, what the queen received from the 'Empyrean Transcendence Sector' was probably not pure strength but part of the Supreme Emperor's belief, too.
Although the Supreme Emperor in the legends established an 'empire' and was a dictator, he was an ancient man from ten thousand years ago after all. Because of the limitations of his history, he could not be too demanding.
At the very least, the evaluation of the people today was quite positive about the Supreme Emperor. He overthrew the reign of demons, saved the people from calamity, ended the conflicts of the three thousand Sectors, led the civilization of mankind to the second peak in the age of ancient Cultivators, laid the foundation of the modern Cultivation civilization, and established the belief that 'Cultivators are the sabers of the civilization of mankind'. Therefore, the 'modern Cultivators' were completely distinguished from the 'ancient Cultivators'.
Each and every one of them was a testament to his great achievements.
Therefore, despite the fact that he was a relatively autocratic emperor, modern people still regarded the 'Supreme Emperor' as a real Cultivator. The Xing Yao Federation, which implemented the system of citizen elections and parliamentary republicanism, also acknowledged that the Supreme Emperor was the common ancestor of everybody and a well-deserved hero. The Xing Yao Federation considered itself to be the spiritual successor of the Star Ocean Imperium.
All in all, the Supreme Emperor and Blackstar the Great were both emperors, but they were both bright, positive, and righteous.
Therefore, if Li Linghai had truly received part of the Supreme Emperor's heritage and belief, it would not be strange at all that he would naturally hate the corrupted, decayed Imperium of True Human Beings before his eyes, and he would want to 'renew the Imperium' according to his own ideology.
Of course, there were still many problems with the details. For example, how could Li Linghai's weak body bear the enormous inheritance of the Emperor, and so on.
But generally speaking, Li Yao believed that Li Lingfeng's guess was at least fifty percent likely to be correct!
The reason was simple. The proof was inside Li Yao's Cosmos Ring. Little Black and the half key were obviously both products of the Star Ocean Imperium ten thousand years ago.
Therefore, the world fragment that Li Linghai and Li Yao's foster father discovered, even if it was not the 'Empyrean Transcendence Sector' where the Supreme Emperor perished, must've been deeply related to the Supreme Emperor!
Li Yao thought quickly and figured out the cause and effect in the blink of an eye.
Then, he felt like crying. Li Lingfeng was truly an out-and-out pig of a teammate who was determined to drag him into the mess even when he was about to be killed. It would've been enough if he could tell that Li Linghai was using 'Dragon Over the Sky', the ultimate art of the Supreme Emperor. Why did he have to yell and explain it so clearly?
Great. Li Yao and Li Jialing had both heard the big secret clearly.
Li Jialing's birth could still be considered a problem that could be resolved, but now that they had heard such a shocking secret as' the queen had received the heritage of the 'Supreme Emperor', was it possible that the queen would let them go?
Li Yao grimaced and looked at the queen and Li Lingfeng.
The electric arcs flashing around the queen grew brighter and brighter, entangling Li Lingfeng like thousands of dragons and mincing Li Lingfeng's muscles, veins, nerves, and bones into pieces!
Li Lingfeng, an old monster at the high level of the Divinity Transformation Stage, was unable to resist at all under the suppression of the queen's domineering "Dragon Over the Sky". His domain had completely collapsed into broken ripples, twisting and moaning miserably in the storm. Very soon, it was obliterated.
He struggled hard and shouted desperately, "Spare — spare me! I'm sincerely cooperating with you. No, no, no. I'm willing to submit to you and help you deal with the four Kurfürst families and other noble families. I'm willing to help you become a queen who controls the sea of stars so that you can gather the supreme power and create a new Imperium!"
"Hehehehe …"
Li Linghai narrowed his eyes and smiled in the most disdainful way. "A lot of people are willing to submit to me. You are not qualified yet!"
Li Lingfeng bulged his eyes. Bolts of lightning flowed out of his eyes, nostrils, ears, and mouth like magma. He moaned, "I — I'm your biological brother!
The purple light deep inside Li Linghai's eyes gradually spread out, exactly like her blossoming ambitions.
The queen of the Imperium of True Human Beings smiled. "So what?"
Hardly had she concluded her sentence when the lightning that Li Linghai shot at Li Lingfeng was a hundred times brighter than before!
For a moment, the wind, the storm, and the thunder seemed to have been frozen. The whole world was eclipsed by the lightning and turned into black and white.
But the purple flames that contained the dominance of the emperor turned into a sword of true dragons that was stirring the sea of stars. At a speed a hundred times faster than the lightning, it ripped apart the last spiritual shield that Li Lingfeng managed to condense easily and pierced through his chest!
After the sword of true dragons entered his body, it immediately exploded into nine raging dragons of purple flames that dashed to Li Lingfeng's limbs and internal organs, ripping, burning, melting, and obliterating his every nerve, vein, and cell!
"Ahhh!"
Li Lingfeng screamed in disbelief and excruciating pain. His soul turned into a blue ball of light and fled to the sky in a panic, only to be caught up by the three dragons of purple flames. In the blink of an eye, he was ripped apart into shrieking ripples and devoured by the dragons of purple flames!
The nine dragons of purple flames hovered in the middle of the thunderstorm. Very soon, they all returned to Li Linghai's back, accentuating her snow-white hair and flashing purple eyes, making her look even more mysterious and dominating!
Li Lingfeng, on the other hand, had been burnt to the point that not even his bones were left. In less than twenty seconds, he had been obliterated and would never be reincarnated!
If the heart could sweat, Li Yao's heart would've been dehydrated a long time ago.
Comparison of the combat ability of the two parties:
Li Linghai was at least at the peak of the Divinity Transformation Stage. He also boasted the enhancement of "Dragon Over the Sky", which was the most awesome martial art of the Supreme Emperor. There was no telling how many pieces of magical equipment from the "Empyrean Transcendence Sector" he had not taken out yet. It was probably more than easy for him to beat a Cultivator in the middle level of the Divinity Branching Stage.
Li Yao was only at the middle level of the Divinity Transformation Stage, but his soul was rather special. Nobody knew that he had a second soul named "mental devil". It was an ancient extraterrestrial devil in the first place. After all the fortuitous encounters, it had absorbed enormous tenebrum energy. Other than the fact that it did not have a real body, it was more or less in the Divinity Transformation Stage.
Therefore, Li Yao could not be counted as a simple Cultivator in the middle level of the Divinity Transformation Stage. In terms of ultimate combat ability, he was like "two Divinity Transformation Stage Cultivators sharing the same body".
It was a level that was even more powerful and weird than the cooperation of two Divinity Transformation Stage Cultivators who were in sync with each other.
It was even close to the amazing techniques of the Divinity Branching Stage where the soul could be split into two.
Therefore, Li Yao was not intimidated by regular Cultivators in the high level or even the peak of the Divinity Transformation Stage.
However … it was useless in front of the terrifying queen!
Could he run away?
Li Yao's brain cells were exploding. He came to a conclusion in the blink of an eye. Absolutely not!
If he could run away, he would've run away half a minute ago when Li Lingfeng screamed "Supreme Emperor".
However, even if he had a 1% chance to run away, Li Jialing certainly could not.
Li Jialing was perhaps his foster father's only bloodline, and Li Linghai was probably the only woman that his foster father had ever loved, too.
Li Yao and his foster father were deeply in love. Having been abandoned by his parents since childhood and struggling in the darkness alone, he had regarded his foster father as his own father.
How could he watch his foster father's woman and child kill each other and put on such a tragedy?
Also, on a higher level, if Li Jialing was really the only flaw deep inside the queen's heart, it would also be the last defense line of her "humanity".
If she was allowed to kill the child that she "really wanted" in person, the queen would completely turn into a cold, heartless monster!
It was possible that such a monster had grasped part of the "Supreme Emperor's heritage" and was ambitious enough to control the supreme power of the entire Imperium of True Human Beings.
If she did succeed, what would the Imperium of True Human Beings be like under the reign of such a monster? Could the Xing Yao Federation face such an Imperium?
Therefore, whether for his foster father, for the Federation, or for his own life and Li Jialing's, Li Yao had to resist the pressure and not run away!
"I … still believe that the real Li Linghai that my dad loved should not be like this!"
Li Yao gritted his teeth and warmed up his cheeks hard. "I have to find a way to preserve the last bit of humanity deep inside Li Linghai's heart and wake her up slowly. It will be best if she can be turned back into the kindhearted woman that my dad loved in the past!
"Furthermore, the 'Supreme Emperor' in the past was a Cultivator, too. It is possible that Li Linghai, who has received the Supreme Emperor's heritage, will be transformed from an Immortal Cultivator into a Cultivator, right?
"Perhaps, she is missing the most critical person who can push her mind. As long as she gives it a gentle push …
"It can't be helped. Since my combat ability is absolutely no match for her, it seems that I have to perform my ultimate skill now!"
The mental devil crawled out of Li Yao's brain and said anxiously, as if it were faced with a great enemy, "Another ultimate skill? Isn't our trump card to slap our buttocks, run a thousand miles away, and run away? "
"Says who?"
