While talking, Lei Chenghu pulled out dozens of holographic windows, which were the battle pictures shot by dozens of Crystal Suits and crystal tanks from different angles.
Li Yao in the picture, however, was flying freely in the maze of fire lines like a cockroach that had grown wings. Very soon, he found a gap, and thousands of mystic rays surged out of his body. The Colossus "Arsonist" arrived majestically!
In the next moment, all the holographic windows trembled violently, disrupted by the waves raised by the Arsonist.
Very soon, smoke and fire covered all the cameras, and the whole warehouse fell into chaos. As it turned out, the Arsonist had blown out a giant hole on the airtight gate of the warehouse, and all the materials inside had been absorbed into the vacuum, including most of the Crystal Suits and crystal tanks.
The three Colossi, on the other hand, were rather restricted because the battlefield was "Iron Torrent", the flagship of the Thunder Fleet.
Li Yao took the opportunity to escape. He turned into a shining ray of light and dashed into the depths of the sea of stars.
"This' Vulture Li Yao 'not only has an appalling personal combat ability, but he is also piloting a very advanced Colossus that is more advanced than all the Colossi in the Thunder Fleet."
Lei Chenghu gnashed his teeth and said, "I have devoted as many as seven Colossi, thousands of Crystal Suits, and almost ten thousand space shuttles to besiege him. However, the universe is too vast, and the situation is too urgent for us to stop an expert in the Divinity Transformation Stage who is equipped with a top Colossus. Please forgive us, Your Majesty!"
"It's not your fault. It's not your fault."
Wuying Qi said magnanimously, "This Li Yao is a cockroach that cannot be boiled, killed, or caught. He can't be more sordid, shameless, and cunning. I've devoted tremendous troops to the capital planet, but I failed to catch him. Marquis Liaohai had to confront Yun Xuefeng and Song Yushi's fleet in the Seven Seas Space Zone. It's not strange that the scoundrel escaped during the fierce battle.
"Thankfully, the guy can only jump up and down like a cockroach and disturb other people's peace, but he can't affect the big picture. Marquis Liaohai, if it's only about the trifles, you can totally report the whole thing to me through a boat. There's no need to use such a precious' Heaven '-level communication channel to apologize to me in person."
"You're mistaken, Your Majesty. Although it is indeed regretful that Li Yao got away, the apology is not the most important thing."
Emotionlessly, Lei Chenghu said solemnly, "In order to persuade me to defect, Li Yao told me a lot of things in his space shuttle, including a lot of slanderous remarks about Your Majesty …"
Amused, Wuying Qi interrupted, "Marquis Liaohai, you don't believe what he said, do you? Think about the destruction of 'Manjusaka, the City in the Sky' and the arrival of the so-called 'Black Wind King'. Li Yao is best known for his lies. He is best at psychological tactics. Even the dead can be brought back to life by him.
"It's very simple to deal with such a sharp-tongued guy. As long as you turn a deaf ear to him and don't believe a word that he says, there will be nothing he can do.
"Marquis Liaohai, you have been in the Imperium for two hundred years. You are the most loyal and determined Immortal Cultivator. You can't be shaken by the words of a Cultivator, can you?"
"You're absolutely right, Your Majesty. Naturally, I do not believe the bullshit and nonsense of this Vulture Li Yao."
Lei Chenghu said, "However, he did say something that touched my suspicion all the time. Even though I attacked him decisively at that time, the suspicion has been haunting me and corrupting my belief after he escaped. I was almost mentally deranged.
"As you know, Your Majesty, I have been burning my soul to the maximum every second for the battle of Seven Seas. My brain and my body are seriously exhausted, and I can collapse easily in the first place. If I am mentally deranged, it will be hard to predict the result of the battle of Seven Seas.
"That's why I was bold enough to ask Your Majesty to open the most precious secret route so that Your Majesty can clear my doubts and ensure the victory of the battle of Seven Seas!"
"Oh?"
Wuying Qi narrowed his eyes. With a gloomy face, he said slowly, "What's your concern, Marquis Liaohai?"
"It's Your Majesty's plan to defeat the enemy in the capital."
Lei Chenghu cut to the chase. "Li Yao said that Your Majesty must've dug an enormous trap in the capital, a scheme that would even affect the future of the Imperium and even the civilization of mankind.
"I did not believe a word that he said. However, when the Thunder Fleet evacuated from the heartland of the four families, we were all very clear that the ace fleets of the four families would certainly be unsealed and attack the capital immediately.
"At that time, Your Majesty vowed that you would've fought the battle of Seven Seas without holding back. Your Majesty definitely had a way to resist the ace fleets of the four families until I secured a great victory in the Seven Seas Space Zone and gathered the forces of the Business Alliance of Ten Thousand Sectors and even all the warlords at the periphery of the Imperium.
"However, I also calculated the combat ability of the Imperial Guards and the Deep Sea Fleet. Even if their combat ability was multiplied, it was still impossible for them to defeat the ace fleets of the four families. Besides, the four families did not only have a few ace fleets but also fleets from a hundred Sectors, which could all jump to the Empyreal Terminus Sector in emergencies. How was Your Majesty going to deal with them?
"I asked Your Majesty the same question at that time, but Your Majesty said that you had a secret weapon that could not be disclosed for the sake of confidentiality. You asked me to focus on the battle in the Seven Seas Space Zone and that Your Majesty would naturally tell me everything when the time was right.
"I am a boorish man who was born in the army. I do not know the complicated etiquettes, nor do I bother to play any tricks. I speak whatever comes to my mind and raise my dissatisfaction and confusion. It was the same for the Council of Elders in the past, and it is the same for Your Majesty right now.
"I believe that the time is very 'right' now. I have crushed Yun Xuefeng's main force in the Seven Seas Space Zone. Even if Song Yushi resists stubbornly, he will not be able to resist my troops for long. In the capital, the ace fleets of the four families have occupied the solid planets and the asteroid belt near the capital planet respectively. They are about to launch a general attack when the orbit of the two planets is closest to each other. It seems that no miracle can stop the capital from falling again.
"Your Majesty, whatever trump cards you have, you can tell me now, right? I still remember my ecstasy when Your Majesty confessed your identity to me. I am willing to die for Your Majesty at any moment. Do you not trust even me, Your Majesty? "
Lei Chenghu blushed and shouted at the top of his voice as he reached the end of his speech. He could not have been more wronged and dissatisfied.
"About that …"
His hands behind his back, Wuying Qi pondered for a long time. "Marquis Liaohai, you've misunderstood me. Ever since I was reborn, everybody who has attached themselves to me has done so for certain interests. Li Linghai, Yue Wushuang, and Dongfang Sheng. Everybody is doing it for themselves. Marquis Liaohai, you are the only one who is doing it for the Imperium, the true path of immortality, and the civilization of mankind!
"If I cannot trust you, who else can I trust? However, my plan is too dangerous and must be kept absolutely confidential for it to work. If anything is leaked out, we will likely be doomed forever! "
Lei Chenghu said, "That's why I asked Your Majesty to open the 'Heaven' -level secret communication line. Only in such a line that will never be hacked can Your Majesty reveal the whole plan without any worries."
Wuying Qi asked, "Marquis Liaohai, do you really have to know?"
Lei Chenghu said, "Your Majesty, it is not that I have to know, but if I am kept in the dark, my belief may collapse at any moment, leading to a total failure in the battle of Seven Seas."
"Alright …"
Taking a deep breath, Wuying Qi stared at Lei Chenghu in the eyes and said sincerely, "Like I said, there are no secrets between Marquis Liaohai and me. I have even told Marquis Liaohai that I lurked in the Supreme Emperor's mausoleum for a thousand years and returned to the Imperium by possessing Li Linghai's body. Is there anything that I cannot tell Marquis Liaohai? Now, I will tell Marquis Liaohai exactly what the 'Sun Shooting Plan' is. "
"The Sun Shooting Plan?"
Lei Chenghu was slightly dazed. "… Hou Yi shooting the sun?"
"Yes. The legend of Hou Yi shooting the sun is a myth that has been passed on for hundreds of thousands of years in the civilization of mankind. Excluding the absurd parts, we now know that there is indeed a 'Hou Yi Clan' among the thirteen carbon-based lives in the alliance of Pangu civilizations. They are natural-born 'stellar scientists' who are adept at the studies of most types of stars in the universe. They are also adept at absorbing energy from stars of all types and even … changing the state of stars!"
Wuying Qi opened his hands, and the Grand Illusionary Land behind him immediately turned into a vast sea of stars. Ten stars of different types suddenly appeared in the sea of stars. Some of them exploded intensely like supernovas, some were enormous like red giants, and some were releasing dazzling brilliance while waving tentacles that looked like fire chains, forming a marvelous view of ten suns in the sky.
Right under the illumination of the ten suns, Wuying Qi said slowly, "Stars are the source of life. They are the most important celestial bodies in the universe that contain infinite energy. All the civilizations in history and even billions of years in the future require the illumination and nourishment of stars in order to live on.
"The structure of stars seems to be very stable, and they can live hundreds of billions of years. They are almost as long as the universe. Most of the time, they are in the prime years of their most stable nature, releasing light, heat, and all kinds of radiation to the entire galaxy incessantly. Even if they decay into a white dwarf, a neutron star, or even a black hole, it will take such a long time that the short-lived civilizations that are born on planets such as us can't perceive it.
"However, from another perspective, to slightly change the state of a star so that it will unleash the violent energy that sweeps across the entire galaxy is … very easy, at least theoretically possible.
"Because stars are too enormous and powerful, even if only one billionth of their power is unleashed, it will be enough for insignificant creatures such as us to perceive the destructive tides.
