"Li Yao, how dare you betray me!"
One of the fiery tentacles of the black sun whipped the surface of the red star brutally, raising tides tens of thousands of kilometers high. It was the amalgamation of Wuying Qi's furious thoughts. "In such a sordid way!"
"Like I said, you forced me to do it. You're both wicked and stupid!"
The tides raised by the red star also turned into countless tentacles that pierced into the black sun, trying to further interfere with Wuying Qi's belief with Li Yao's will. "A gentleman like me would never use such a shameless trick. In such a case, even if I defeat you, my reputation will be ruined!
"However, for the civilization of mankind, what does personal reputation and integrity mean?
"I've wagered the glorious image that I built up after a hundred years of hard work. How can I be brainwashed by you so easily? Lose now, Wuying Qi! "
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
BOOM! BOOM! As Li Yao roared, a series of crimson fireballs exploded on the surface of the black sun, blowing up the black sun and making it look like an enormous abnormal tumor!
"Why?"
Greatly shocked, Wuying Qi could barely resist Li Yao's bombardment. Like an octopus that was tied up by an electric eel, he waved his tentacles crazily and sent even more intense mental power to Li Yao, trying to brainwash Li Yao again. "If it's really for the civilization of mankind, there's even less reason for you to betray me. I'm your only savior. Only my 'Next Sun Plan' can save the Imperium and everybody!"
"Cut the crap. The fact is right in front of our eyes. You're completely screwed. You're still trying to deceive other people with such a hilarious argument? In your dreams! "
Li Yao scorned. The red star emitted the most dazzling brilliance, and every ray of light contained his indestructible will. "Like I said just now, your 'Next Sun Plan' is only convincing based on two factors. Firstly, your flawless plan is invincible, and secondly, the 'massive brainwashing technology' is mature, stable, and minimized.
"But now, it seems that neither of these two points are valid!
"First of all, you haven't reached the level of perfect planning and absolute control. At the very least, you didn't expect me to be so despicable … No, you didn't expect me to be so ingenious and smart!
"Secondly, the 'massive brainwashing technology' has all kinds of loopholes. Not only is the Gold Crystal Pyramid vulnerable to the invasion and hijacking of external viruses, but it is also impossible to inculcate two entirely different ideas in such a short time. Otherwise, those who are brainwashed may have a mental breakdown. Even you, as the performer of the brainwashing, may suffer severe backlashes!
"Tsk, tsk, tsk. You're using such an immature technology as a life-saving straw. Are you kidding me, Your Majesty?
"So, do you understand the logic behind this? The fact that I betrayed you is the reason why I should betray you! As long as I have the thought of betraying you, this thought will continue to grow, expand, and solidify under the strengthening of a certain self-stimulating reaction. In the end, it will become an indestructible armor that can resist all of your brainwashing!
"If everything you said is true, I shouldn't have betrayed you at all.
"But I've already betrayed you. My soul is jumping up and down in front of your soul, which means that you're lying. Everything you said is nonsense.
"If you believe that your ideas and approaches are 100% correct, and if that is where your belief lies, then the appearance of my 'mistake' should've broken your belief instantly.
"However, you've managed to keep your belief intact. Have you known that your ideas and approaches are not 100% correct and reliable? So to speak, you're just like the 'false Immortal Cultivators' of the four families who are double-faced, aren't you? "
Whipped by the fiery tentacles of the red star, the black sun was shaking and almost falling from the mental battlefield.
Their souls were still connected to the mental network that covered the entire Empyreal Terminus Sector. The ripples raised by the clash of telepathic thoughts crawled into the heads of thousands of people, triggering a chain reaction that slowly thawed their frozen thinking abilities.
Feeble sparks popped up in the deep, black eyes of many people again.
Infuriated and anxious, Wuying Qi tried to take control of the situation again, but Li Yao took the initiative and made him unable to do anything.
Li Yao followed up his victory with thousands of glittering telepathic thoughts bombarded out incessantly.
"I've seen a lot of double-faced, shameless b * stards like you before!"
Li Yao roared, "You b * stards are all the same. You establish a goal that looks magnificent, enormous, and sacred and contrast your insignificance with the enormity of the goal. Then, you describe some glamorous, perfect future to the individuals who are too insignificant to show their faces, further fooling them. Then, you disguise yourself as a commander, a god, a savior, or whatever, as if the civilization of mankind can't do without you. In the end, you can use the great goal to cover your ambitions and sacrifice everybody except for you to create a utopia that belongs to you alone!
"Perhaps your philosophy is not wrong, and the future that you describe is not wrong. Even the blood and sacrifices are not wrong. But your mistake is that you are too eager for quick success, too selfish, and too arrogant. First of all, you set your goal infinitely higher regardless of the actual conditions, hoping to complete the evolution that should've taken hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of years to complete in just a few decades. Then, you subconsciously expanded the meaning of 'sacrifice'. Ten soldiers dying to protect a hundred people is called sacrifice. Ten soldiers slaughtering a hundred people in order to survive and even eating the corpses of the people in the name of 'preserving the vitality'. You have the face to call that 'sacrifice'? In the end, no matter how glamorous and brilliant your words are, you never have the courage to accept any objections. You do not even have the courage to discuss your ideas in public and absorb the wisdom of thousands of people to modify, optimize, and experiment. You are only good at sneaky tricks. You are even shameless enough to inculcate your ideas through 'brainwashing'!
"I've seen more than a couple of b * stards like you, and I've killed more than a couple of them. Let me tell you, of all the b * stards, you are the most b * stards. So, go to hell! Go to hell!"
Li Yao was so excited that he burnt his life to the maximum and released billions of sharp blades of mental energy that pierced into the black sun deeply, mincing Wuying Qi's soul into a mess.
"How is it possible?"
Wuying Qi's soul was in disbelief.
It was not because Li Yao had heavily wounded his soul, but because he found it hard to believe that such a tiny "cockroach", "mouse", "earthworm", or even "dust" like Li Yao had the strength, willpower, and courage to launch such an attack on him, the only commander, true god, and savior of the civilization of mankind!
"I am the country, and I am the sun. How dare you —"
"Shut up. You are a scumbag who is trying to hypnotize other people after you hypnotize yourself!"
Li Yao interrupted Wuying Qi's inculcation quickly. "Wake up and look at yourself. You are neither the sun nor the god. Nobody is qualified to be the sun and the god of the entire civilization of mankind. You are the same as me, and we are the same as millions of other people. We are all human beings, regular human beings!
"Even though we can train ourselves with spiritual energy and even absorb tenebrum energy, even though we can split mountains and even fly, there are limits to our strength and wisdom!
"Perhaps, in front of the ordinary people, we can deceive ourselves by claiming that we are in the Divinity Transformation Stage or the Divinity Branching Stage, but when faced with a society, a country, or an entire civilization made of millions of ordinary people, the computational ability in the Divinity Transformation Stage or the Divinity Branching Stage that we are proud of is still as insignificant as the tip of a needle. We can't always be right, we can't predict the development of the civilization ten thousand years later, we can't think for the billions of people in the entire civilization, and we can't deprive them of their thinking ability and free will to become the damn 'one true god'!
"You think that the failure of your plan was an accident, and that you were unlucky that a weirdo like me suddenly showed up? Then, you are wrong. Very wrong!
"Your failure was inevitable, because no matter how many glorious and correct banners you put on yourself, you are just a mortal after all. Your strength is limited, your wisdom is limited, and your imagination is limited. It is impossible for you to calculate all the changing information of the entire civilization. It is impossible for you to control everybody's mind. There will always be unexpected factors, and some whimsical lunatics will appear. Even if it is not me, it will be somebody else. Instead of inviting the whole Sector to watch an action movie, there will be other ways that you and I can't think of. Your plan seems to be well-connected, but in fact, the margin for error is too low. As long as one of the points is wrong, it will inevitably lead to the collapse of the whole plan!
