"Yes, I understand your feelings."
After a brief hesitation, Li Yao said, "For example, the things about Earth are surging in my head right now. I can't control them at all."
"Ah, Earth, are you finally willing to talk about it?"
Long Yangjun snapped her fingers and scratched her long hair. She smiled and said, "My mouth is dry now, not just because I want to talk to you about my secrets. I'm very interested in your secrets too! The so-called Earth is the place that often shows up in your dreams and allows you to learn the language of the wizardly civilization?
"Is Earth related to the wizardly civilization? Does it have anything to do with the Flood and the world that we live in? Are you ready to tell the whole truth? "
"Listen, Long Yangjun —"
Thinking for a long time, Li Yao took a deep breath and said solemnly, "I truly appreciate your trust that you are willing to tell me so many things about the primeval age frankly. Just like I said, I sincerely regard you as a friend, and I hope that I can be the best friend that you can trust without reservation.
"Since we are friends, I don't want to hide anything from you. Besides, the situation today does not allow me to keep it a secret. I know very well that it is far from enough to find Earth and fulfill the destiny in my dreams on my own. I need the support of all my family and friends — everybody. Of course, I will also support everybody to fulfill your destiny and realize your dreams!
"By 'everybody', I am not just referring to you but also Boss Bai and the rest of them.
"It is obvious that Boss Bai and A Boxing Champion have grasped tremendous information of paramount importance. Both our strategy in the Imperium and the Holy League in the future, and our search for our origin and home in the future, we cannot do without the help of Boss Bai and the rest of them.
"I hope that we can completely drop all the disguises and disguises and truly meet each other frankly. We can share each other's wisdom, courage, and combat ability. We can congregate into a super luxurious, invincible golden combination that can beat the sh * t out of the Flood, a tiny 'alliance of pyromaniacs'!
"Therefore, I want to tell Boss Bai and A Boxing Champion all the pieces of information that I know in front of them tomorrow. Then, I will share all the pieces of information that they know, including what you said just now. Together, we will piece together the intelligence, find the truth, settle the war between the Imperium and the Holy League, verify the primeval past that you just mentioned, explore the extraterrestrial worlds, search for the traces of the Flood, and even go to Earth to solve the ultimate puzzle together. Are you willing to join such a team, Long Yangjun?"
Li Yao bulged his eyes and looked at Long Yangjun sincerely. His eyeballs that were as big as bells were almost spurting fire.
Almost instinctively, Long Yangjun frowned and said, "Once I tell all the primeval past, I will be exposing my identity. Those mottled memory pieces can't be inferred to such an extent except for those who experienced them in person."
"Yes. You, me, Boss Bai, A Boxing Champion, and even Xiaoming and Wenwen, we all have our unique secrets. We don't even know if we are 'normal human beings' in the narrow sense. Out of respect for everybody, I have never revealed anybody else's identity to any of you. Please absolutely trust me on that."
Li Yao stepped forward. The scorching flames burned Long Yangjun's almost-vigilant indifference. Clenching his fists, he said, "But right now, I still hope that we can be more open and sunny. Stop clinging to the hilarious secret identities because only unity and frankness can resolve our problems. Also, as time goes by, no secret can be hidden forever!
"Look, Long Yangjun, at the last moment when you were in the Xing Yao Federation, you stole the escape capsule of a Nuwa warship by force and activated a certain technique of space travel that nobody knew about before you left. Countless experts of the Federation watched you leave, including Ding Ling Dong, Jin Xinyue, and the people of the national security system. They all came to ask me everything about you. Under the tremendous pressure, I did not reveal too much. But those experts and specialists were not idiots. Even if I did not say anything, they would certainly have inferred a lot of things from the traces.
"It is impossible for the Federation to stay away from the Imperium forever. Once the Federation intervenes in the war between the Imperium and the Holy League on a large scale in a certain way, all kinds of intelligence about you will certainly come. By then, how will you hide yourself? Will you have more intense conflicts with the Federation, the Imperium, and even the Holy League that have incomplete intelligence?
"In many cases, conflicts come from misunderstandings, and misunderstandings come from mistrust and secrecy. If you do not reveal your identity, the specialists of the Federation can only assume the worst. Is it really a good idea?"
Long Yangjun sniffed and bit her lips softly. Her eyes were as cold as Pangu's and Nuwa's. "Do you think that I'm scared of the conflicts with the Federation?"
"Yes, I know that you are not scared. Of course, you are not scared of anything. But is it really fun? Is it really fun?"
Li Yao opened his hands and said, "You keep your little secret forever, stay out of society forever, keep a distance from all your own kind, trust nobody, and devote your real feelings to anything. Is it really fun and exciting to live such a life until you die?"
"Human beings are not my kind."
Long Yangjun gnashed her teeth and said in a low voice, one word after another, "You seem to have forgotten that again. I am an alien."
"No, you can become a human being. A real human being, as long as you want to!"
Li Yao said in a hurry, "Human beings are not much different from the Pangu Clan and the Nuwa Clan genetically. As for the soul, who knows what the essence of the soul is exactly? Didn't you say it just now? Even the pure Pangu Clan or Nuwa Clan used to be ordinary human beings with feelings of joy, anger, sorrow, and joy, who were haunted by the smoke of the mortal world!
"Also, in the Pangu laboratories deep inside the Nuwa warship, didn't we get in touch with the beings who were 'unlocked' and turned from human beings into Pangu beings? Didn't Meng Chixin and Wu Suiyun, the Divinity Transformation Stage Cultivators of the Ancient Sages Sector, turn into Pangu beings from human beings?
"Therefore, human beings are no different from the Pangu Clan and the Nuwa Clan at all. They are just different forms of carbon-based intelligent life. As long as you want to, you will be an out-and-out human being. I believe that even if some people cannot accept you, fear you, or even hate you for now, most of them will accept you, trust you, and support you if they are given some time to digest it. At the very least, I can!"
Long Yangjun sniffed. "Childish."
"Childish … It is indeed childish, but that's exactly what you think deep down in your heart, isn't it?"
Li Yao continued staring at Long Yangjun. "You are unwilling to be alone forever as an 'alien'. You crave to meet your own kind, communicate with your own kind, and share all your secrets. That's why you told me so much just now.
"In the boundless sea of stars, nobody is an island. Everybody craves communication, confidences, and warmth with their own kind. I'm no exception, and neither are you.
"If you are truly as proud and indifferent as you claim to be, you shouldn't have told anything to anybody at all. No, no, no. You shouldn't have shown up in front of me in the first place! Wouldn't it have been better and safer for us to stay away from each other and explore our own secrets and origins on our own? "
Long Yangjun's pupils constricted violently, as if the most sensitive part of her heart had been touched. She even had the urge to kill Li Yao in fury.
"Don't get me wrong. I'm glad that you consider me a friend and are willing to talk to me. In the meantime, I can have a close friend to talk to, relax, and share our secrets with."
Li Yao did not react to Long Yangjun's killing intent at all. He still opened his hands and said aloud, "Trust me, it is not a big deal to disclose the so-called secrets. In many cases, you are just scaring yourself.
"Just now, you said that the Pangu civilization sealed themselves out of extreme fear, and that they probably never even saw the real appearance of the Flood. In fact, aren't you the same? You completely sealed yourself out of fear of the unknown and distrust of other people, and you only dared to show yourself to other people under the false masks of 'Lead Eunuch Wang Xi', 'Dongfang Mingyue', and 'Serenity Seraph'. Only in front of me, a monster who has' shared the same fate 'as you, did you dare to slightly release yourself and let the real Long Yangjun surface for a breath. Is such a life not tiring, exciting, and interesting?
"Right now, I've made up my mind to change myself and everything. Are you willing to follow me?
"Just follow me, Long Yangjun! Even Xiaoming and Wenwen, who have just been born and are even weirder than you, are bold enough to confess their identities openly after the most rigorous calculations. Do you not have the courage of Xiaoming and Wenwen? You were bold enough to fight Blackstar the Great for three hundred rounds, but do you not have the courage to face your real self? "
The questions that were like a flood breaking the dam obviously collapsed Long Yangjun's confidence. Her eyes were narrowed, and her breathing was disordered.
"You don't need to answer me right now. You can tell me the answer tomorrow."
Li Yao struck while the iron was hot. "I'm going to find Boss Bai and A Boxing Champion right now and ask them to share the most confidential intelligence frankly. Then, we will expand the super invincible gold combination — the 'alliance of pyromaniacs'! Of course, I'll be the first to speak about Earth, the uncanny dreams, and myself!
"'Vulture Li Yao' has made my way to where I am today precisely because I have a fast saber, a lot of friends, and a sense of brotherhood! I believe that my friends will not let me down this time, and you will not let me down, either!
"Come on. Let's establish the 'alliance of pyromaniacs' tomorrow. You must come. You can always be the last to speak. I'll wait for you!"
Li Yao ran further and further away. Before Long Yangjun refused, he had already run off.
