Li Yao's words cast Wuying Qi and Long Yangjun into disbelief at the same time.
"What … What do you mean?"
Long Yangjun blinked at Li Yao quickly. "How did I frame His Majesty? Don't accuse me!"
"It's very simple. You are attacking His Majesty's belief with such a vicious trick, hoping to kill him without him noticing!"
Li Yao said coldly, "It must be noted that His Majesty's' Next Sun Plan 'is based on two foundations. Firstly, the' enlightenment technology ', which is the advanced and powerful brainwashing technology on a large scale, is absolutely reliable. Nobody can resist it.
"Secondly, His Majesty is wise, far-sighted, and observant. He has taken all the forces in the sea of stars into consideration precisely, and no unexpected factor can escape from his eyes!
"Those two points are also where His Majesty's belief lies. It is exactly because His Majesty believes in the reliability of the 'enlightenment technology' and his wisdom and precise control that he is strong enough to push forward the 'Next Sun Plan' and become the highest commander of the civilization of mankind forever!
"Everything that His Majesty has done is not for his own interests but for the advancement of the civilization of mankind. Therefore, His Majesty's belief must be indestructible without the slightest doubt.
"All in all, only by believing in yourself first can you infect millions of people with your firm and scorching belief with the enhancement of the sun. If you don't believe in yourself, how can you 'brainwash' other people?
"Therefore, if His Majesty really believes that his Daoist heart is absolutely correct, then his enlightenment technique is invincible. Furthermore, he has precise control over all aspects. Then, how can I betray him? What reason do I have to betray him? It must be noted that I've just had a heart-to-heart talk with His Majesty and listened to his wisdom for hours. If I can't change my ways after all that, wouldn't 'enlightenment' be a useless joke?
"You are still confiscating my Colossus when you know that I will never betray you. Isn't that an unnecessary move?"
Long Yangjun was dumbfounded by the roundabout talk, unable to say anything for a long time.
Wuying Qi was deep in thought, too, with ripples popping out of his eyes.
Both the Cultivators and the Immortal Cultivators had to be supported by strong beliefs when they reached the peak of their training. Even if Wuying Qi was truly an insane lunatic, he was still a lunatic with dreams, ambitions, and beliefs.
Moreover, this kind of extreme fanatics usually valued the Dao Heart more than anything else, and it was absolutely impossible for them to easily distort and change it.
"If His Majesty has truly confiscated our Colossi, it means two things. Firstly, His Majesty is suspicious of his enlightenment technology and his precise control abilities. Secondly, His Majesty is scared of us who have the Heavenly Crystal and the Arsonist. Tell me, which of the two things is true?"
Li Yao continued sneering. "If His Majesty is truly fooled and accepts our Colossi, two tiny cracks will appear on his indestructible belief, which will result in a fatal flaw in his immaculate mind.
"Perhaps, the cracks won't cause any serious consequences under normal circumstances.
"But don't forget that His Majesty is about to inculcate his ultimate beliefs to everybody in the Empyreal Terminus Sector through the Gold Crystal Pyramid.
"I think that, even with His Majesty's invincible strength and the enhancement of the Gold Crystal Pyramid and even the star, it will still consume a lot of spiritual energy and soul power to spread his beliefs into the brains of billions of hostile soldiers, right?
"At such a critical moment when His Majesty's soul is being consumed, you want a crack in His Majesty's belief. It will be like a crack on a dam when a flood is coming. It will collapse at any moment!
"By then, not only will Your Majesty's soul be seriously damaged, but the gap of self-doubt in your belief will also likely be transmitted to the heads of all the hostile soldiers through Your Majesty's disordered brainwaves. How can you 'enlighten' the soldiers and make them believe in Your Majesty's brilliance and invincibility?
"So, I said that you dug a hole for His Majesty to jump into and deliberately set His Majesty up. Am I wrong? Huh? "
With his hands on his waist, Li Yao glared at Long Yangjun and berated her.
Long Yangjun was at a loss. "That's not what I meant. I —"
"Stop it. You are!"
Li Yao interrupted her argument mercilessly. "Anyone with half a brain can easily figure out that I would never betray His Majesty, because the mess right now cannot be resolved by stopping His Majesty's plan, or by killing the emperor, if I may say something outrageous.
"We are far from His Majesty's capability, and it is impossible for us to cause any harm to His Majesty. But even if something does happen to His Majesty, what can we do? It must be noted that our greatest enemy right now is still the ace fleets of the four families and the main fleet of the Holy League that hasn't shown up yet!
"I am incapable of settling the chaos in the capital at all, and His Majesty is the only one who is capable of that. Whatever side I stand on, what choice do I have except to submit to His Majesty? I am a Cultivator, not a lunatic who does not care about the consequences! "
Long Yangjun blushed under Li Yao's scolding. She hesitated for a long time before she said, "Unless —"
"Unless I have a way to resolve the chaos in the capital after killing His Majesty, right? But how is it possible? "
Li Yao sneered nonstop and looked at Long Yangjun as if she were an idiot. "Unless I have a way to hijack part of the crystal cameras and crystal processors in this place and give Lei Chenghu a 'live broadcast' through the double blockades of the reformists and the four families in the Seven Seas Space Zone, allowing him to realize what is happening in the capital right now.
"Unless, before he realizes everything, Lei Chenghu has taken care of Yun Xuefeng, Song Yushi, and the eight Adamantine Fleets in a certain unbelievable way, taking over more than ten Adamantine Super Arsenal Warships and countless warlords' starships as his own!
"Yes, even if that's the case, it still won't work because His Majesty is already aware of Lei Chenghu's disloyalty. Therefore, when Lei Chenghu sends a 'request for reinforcements' to the capital, His Majesty will certainly not send a signal of a space gate to him. Without a space gate, how can Lei Chenghu's fleet jump over in an organized way? Ships jumping over one after another was simply courting death!
"Therefore, unless I have an elite battle squad that has snuck into the capital in secret, ambushed the nearest space gate, hijacked the space gate without alarming anyone at the most critical moment, and slowly opened the space gate to the Seven Seas Space Zone, I'm afraid that the Seven Seas Space Zone won't be able to do anything.
"Right, before all the 'unless's, there is another big' unless', which is that I have grasped a certain brilliant method of mental immunity that even His Majesty did not expect, which can make me immune to His Majesty's enlightenment!
"Tsk, tsk, tsk. So many keys to victory that are impossible to achieve have all happened? Do you have to be so unbelievable? Even the most lousy novel can't be made up like that, can it?
"You know all that, but you are still slandering me and making up such absurd things to slander me. You are insulting me. No, you are insulting His Majesty's wisdom! It doesn't matter if you slander me, but you are insulting His Majesty's wisdom and trying to shake His Majesty's belief. That is too sordid and should be executed! "
"You —"
Long Yangjun was shaking in fury. She said in a shivering voice, "Your Majesty, don't listen to the nonsense of this scoundrel. I'm not doubting His Majesty's enlightenment ability at all. I only hope that His Majesty's plan can be safer!"
"Are you suggesting that His Majesty's plan will not be safe if we have two Colossi in our hands?"
Li Yao sniffed. "His Majesty's magnificent plan that he has carefully planned for almost a hundred years has been completely sabotaged by two Colossi?"
Wuying Qi was silent. His eyes were flickering like flames in a storm.
"Of course —"
Li Yao offered the Cosmos Ring that stored "Arsonist" to Wuying Qi. "You have slandered me time and time again. In order to prove my loyalty, I will give the Colossi to His Majesty for safekeeping. What's wrong with that? I believe that His Majesty will give me justice!"
Long Yangjun sniffed and offered her Cosmos Ring, too.
The two of them glared at each other and then looked at Wuying Qi's hands.
Narrowing his eyes, Wuying Qi stared at the Cosmos Rings in their hands in a daze. Thinking for a long time, he still accepted the two Cosmos Rings.
Li Yao and Long Yangjun gritted their teeth hard. Under the suppression of the amazing control, their biophysical parameters did not change much, but their pupils and nostrils were expanded by 5% at the same time.
Wuying Qi held the two Cosmos Rings in his hands and entangled them with his spiritual energy. Like two shooting stars, they chased and entangled each other. While playing with them casually, he stared at the two of them, as if he were trying to dig holes in their guts.
In the end, he smiled and absorbed the two Cosmos Rings, before he threw them back to the two of them.
"A gentleman does not steal other people's favorite things. I'm too rich to be greedy for two insignificant Colossi."
With his hands behind his back, Wuying Qi said casually with the most intense confidence in his eyes, "Li Yao is right. My deduction can't be wrong at all. The Next Sun Plan is the only solution to save the Imperium and the civilization of mankind. Whatever side you are on, you should support me without hesitation!
"The enlightenment technology can't be cracked so easily, either. So, neither Li Yao nor Long Yangjun will betray me.
"If I can't even trust Minister Li, who has been enlightened, and I have to control you by depriving you of your Colossus, how can I carry out the Next Sun Plan? Where should my belief be?"
