Two fierce battles in a row within only twenty-four hours had consumed too much of his soul and energy.
The discussions about the 'magic civilization' and the 'Flood' were even more shocking for everybody.
Even the unparalleled experts whose average Cultivation was above the middle level of the Divinity Transformation Stage sensed their fragility and insignificance in front of such a vast and terrifying universe. They had to disperse and rest for a night so that they could continue sharing wisdom and courage with each other tomorrow.
Otherwise, chances were that two of them would've been mentally deranged and vomited blood while they were chatting.
Li Yao did not reach out to anyone else but simply returned to his room. He was eager to fall asleep and explore the Earth that was getting clearer and clearer in the bizarre dreams.
But no matter how tired his body was and how drained his soul was, he simply could not fall asleep as he stared at the cracks on the ceiling with his bloodshot eyes.
He had thought that he had a deep understanding of himself and even the entire world after he advanced all the way to the peak of the Divinity Transformation Stage.
However, a tiny magic chip and a few 'A, B, C's' were enough to shatter his arrogance and make him realize the vastness of the universe, the wonders of the world, and the endless, marvelous journey that was ahead of him!
"Magic. What is magic exactly?"
Since he could not fall asleep, Li Yao simply sat up and stared at his fingers, sorting through the messy clues in his head.
Just like what he said to Boss Bai earlier, the 'magic' in the memories of Earth was colorful and boasted infinite possibilities.
The so-called "Harry Rand" was only a world where one could control the lowest level of magic power. In addition, there were countless powerful and ancient races on Earth. They all had their own magic, their own myths, and their own strange and incredible fantasy worlds.
Magic, vampires, werewolves, witches, demon hunters, zombies …
The God of Sun, the God of Storms, the God of Death, the God of War, the God of Agriculture, the God of Wine, the God of Ecstasy, the Goddess of Serpents, Shiva … Of course, there were also Pangu and Nuwa, whom Li Yao was familiar with in his previous life.
The ancient souls were born together with the origin of human beings and passed on for tens of thousands of years before they congregated into the fantasy worlds of Cultivation and magic in the modern sense. Although they were both called 'magic', the power system and the usage rules were entirely different. They were essentially the products of two different worlds.
"Wait …"
Li Yao muttered to himself, "There is also the concept of 'cultivation' on Earth. In my motherland, the motherland of my previous life, countless wonderful cultivation worlds emerged in the minds of countless people!
"Right. A long time ago, in my memories on Earth, I seem to have read a Cultivation novel. The levels in the novel were also divided into the Refinement Stage, the Building Foundation Stage, the Core Formation Stage, the Nascent Soul Stage, and the Divinity Transformation Stage.
"Is this a coincidence? Of course not!
"But if it's not a coincidence, what does it mean?"
Li Yao counted with his fingers and sorted out all the information he knew.
First of all, if Boss Bai's speculation was correct, there was a vast universe beyond the world of Cultivators created by the Pangu human beings. In the universe that had suddenly expanded by billions of times, there were billions of brilliant civilizations such as the magic civilization and so on.
But it was a pity that those civilizations were more than billions of lightyears away from the civilization of Cultivators. They were also blocked by the black wall of dead silence where resources were scarce. It was barely possible for the two parties to communicate with each other.
Only a few lucky guys, such as the starships of the magic civilization or the meteorites that the Blood Stripe Virus in Li Yao's head took, could penetrate the black wall and reach the civilization of Cultivators.
Or rather, before the civilization of Cultivators discovered other civilizations, the other civilizations had all been destroyed by the 'flood'.
No. They were not completely destroyed.
At the very least, in one place, a small, seemingly barren planet that did not even have spiritual energy, magic, or any super energy, Earth, the civilizations that were supposed to be strangers and even destroyed were still crammed together, communicating, and melding with each other, resulting in all kinds of brand-new illusions.
What was Earth exactly? Was it a transit station or a contact point for countless civilizations in the vast sea of stars?
Then, why did he destroy Earth, which was likely to be the last shelter of billions of civilizations?
In his trance, Li Yao heard the roars where he swore that he would complete the 'Vulture Plan' again.
"Generations of civilizations have been confined to this wretched Earth, mired in infinite reincarnation, unable to free themselves!"
Li Yao had thought that the so-called 'generations of civilizations' referred to the native civilizations on Earth. But on second thought, were they referring to the civilization of Cultivators or the civilization of wizardry?
Countless universal civilizations, including the civilization of Cultivators and the civilization of wizardry, had been confined to the tiny, barren Earth? They had been mired in some sort of infinite loop that they could not free themselves from? And the truth of the 'Vulture Plan' was to break such an infinite loop?
What a headache. What a headache!
"In any case, we've found the answer to one thing."
The mental devil turned into a tiny bean sprout and crawled out of Li Yao's forehead. Holding its arms, it said gloomily, deep in thought, "It's about why Earth is the center of the universe."
Li Yao was slightly dazed. It was indeed a question that had been puzzling him for a long time.
He remembered very clearly that, after the failure of the Vulture Plan, a voice asked him to run away from Earth as far away as possible to the edge of the universe.
Since the furthest place from Earth was the edge of the universe, Earth was undoubtedly the center of the universe.
However, in Li Yao's perception, the universe where the three thousand Sectors were located … well, it might as well be called the 'Pangu universe'. The center of the Pangu universe had to be the Empyreal Terminus Sector. In terms of the relative position on the three-dimensional level and the integration points of wormholes that were most conducive for four-dimensional jumps, the Empyreal Terminus Sector and the Empyreal Terminus Sector were the well-deserved 'center of the Pangu universe'.
Li Yao had once wondered if Earth and the Empyreal Terminus Sector were the same place. If so, the conundrum of the 'center of the universe' would be resolved easily.
However, after examining the basic parameters of the Empyreal Terminus Sector and even drilling tens of thousands of meters below the ground, he discovered that the Empyreal Terminus Sector was not similar to the Earth deep in his memory at all. They could not be the same planet.
"Perhaps, we were wrong in the beginning. The Empyreal Terminus Sector and the Empyreal Terminus Sector are indeed, 'merely', the center of the Pangu universe."
The mental devil said thoughtfully, "But Earth can be the center of other universes. They are not contradictory."
"Other universes?"
Li Yao asked subconsciously, "Which universes?"
"Every one."
The mental devil said, one word after another, "Let's infer with the boldest imagination. At the very least, based on the evidence we have right now, Earth is very likely to be the center of every universe, the center of all universes, and the center of the multiverse!"
"Multiverse!"
Li Yao jumped out of bed immediately. "What the hell is that?"
"How would I know? I simply grabbed such a term from your memory pieces and felt that it was rather cool. That's why I brought it up for discussion. "
The mental devil opened its hands and said, "What the hell is that? It's up to you to figure it out!"
Li Yao was dazed for a long time. Then, he extended one of his fingers and stuffed the bean sprout that the mental devil turned into back into his head.
Since he could not fall asleep at all, he might as well take a walk outside.
At this moment, the Blue Sky Market was in the middle of the starship maintenance and upgrade. Almost all the docks and streets were ablaze with lights. There was no distinction between day and night at all.
In order to think in peace, Li Yao and the rest of them asked Boss Bai to arrange for them to stay in a forsaken port that was relatively quiet.
When he walked out of the door, Li Yao only saw the illusion of a bright moon in the artificial sky, which was illuminating the starry docks far away. There was also the virtual sound of tides rising and falling. His chaotic heart was immediately calmed down.
But he was not the only one who could not fall asleep.
Some people were one step ahead of him. Leaning against the rusty decorative railings, they enjoyed the digital sound of waves and the slightly salty "sea breeze".
Her black hair reached her waist like a waterfall. Her face was as clear as jade, but it was broken by her slightly steep nose, which added to her valiance. Under the moonlight, Long Yangjun was so solemn, profound, and sacred that she did not look like a human being made of flesh and blood. She was more like a god from the primeval age who had been transported to the age where gods were not believed in.
Only when she glimpsed Li Yao from the corner of her eye did the brilliance of humanity blossom on her almost perfect face, turning from a "god" into a "human being".
"Don't come any closer."
Long Yangjun chuckled. "I knew that you were an unbelievable monster, but I didn't know that you could be so weird. Only a few days ago, you came to me with two information lives and told me that they were your children. How long has it been, and you are already claiming that you know 'magic' and 'A, B, C, D'? Come on, do you have to be so unbelievable? Can't you give us some time to prepare?"
"Well …"
Scratching his head, Li Yao leaned close to her. "I don't know how I should explain it. All in all, the more I know, the more I find that I don't know. Can you understand why it's so hard to explain?
"Cough. Let's not talk about me for now. I don't know when I can sort out the mess in my head. Let's talk about you first. Why can't you fall asleep? What are you thinking about here?"
Looking at the dark ocean far away that was simulated by the panoramic light beam, Long Yangjun said, "I'm not very interested in the wizardly civilization or the Earth in your dream. I'm more interested in the 'Flood' that Boss Bai mentioned.
