Wuying Qi couldn't bring himself to say it.
He was still dwelling in the "Virtualization Plan" that Li Yao proposed.
Although he hated to admit it, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that the plan was magnificent, brilliant, feasible, and very much to his liking. It was obviously a "final solution" that someone like him would propose!
Also, Li Yao did not just propose a groundless idea. He even transmitted tremendous detailed data about the "Virtualization Plan" to Wuying Qi through telepathic thoughts, discussing the steps and possibilities of turning the plan into reality from a technical point of view.
At the very least, it did not seem to be an arrogant fantasy at all.
But how was it possible?
Was the "Next Sun Plan" that he, the almighty Blackstar the Great, constructed after a thousand years of dormancy and hard work, really not as good as the "Virtualization Plan" that the sleazy cockroach came up with in a moment? If so, was he qualified to call himself the commander of all mankind and the beacon of the future civilization shamelessly?
Wuying Qi's soul couldn't have been more twisted. His confidence was seriously hit, and he was on the verge of collapse.
"Just vomit blood if you want to. It's not embarrassing at all. Few people in this universe can resist my invincible beliefs without vomiting blood."
With his hands behind his back, Li Yao allowed the surging flames of the red star to condense into two wings that tore apart the mental battlefield. He said casually, "Both the 'Next Sun Plan' and the 'Virtualization Plan' are delusions that are not worth refuting. We are not gods. Nobody can design the future of a civilization in the next ten thousand years, and nobody is qualified to influence the thoughts of billions of individuals in a civilization. If such a person claims that he has grasped the absolute truth and can foresee what a perfect civilization will look like in ten thousand years, while asking other people to abandon their thoughts to worship, obey, and sacrifice for him, such a person is either a liar, a lunatic, or both.
"The future is never designed by a wise man, a commander, or a god; it is built step by step with the efforts of all the individuals in a civilization!
"Having realized that, I never thought of forcibly designing the future thousands of years later, or throwing out plans that seemed magnificent but were actually full of loopholes. I only did my best and started from the small things.
"I will defend the happiness of every insignificant individual right now. I hope to share more knowledge and wisdom with everybody. I will try my best to build a system where everybody can think and speak freely. I will try my best to mediate the sharp contradictions. I hope that my existence can make the world more beautiful than the last second and the next second better than the last second. In the end, new human beings who are smarter, stronger, and more moral than me will be born in such a beautiful world. They will discuss the crazy plans that we propose in a more comprehensive and wise way, analyze the advantages and disadvantages of the plans including the Next Sun Plan and the Virtualization Plan, and figure out the ways to realize them with the least cost.
"This is destined to be a very long process. I may not be able to see the fruits of my efforts or the brilliant future of the civilization of mankind in my lifetime, but I believe that the new generation of human beings will do it. That's enough for me!"
"No … It's not enough!"
The dark brilliance around Wuying Qi flashed quickly, as if he were roaring in desperation. "You are still running away by doing that. You are leaving the problem to the next generation. We don't have much time left. We have to seize every second and solve the chronic problem of the civilization of mankind on our own. That is our responsibility!"
"You're wrong again."
Li Yao said resolutely, "Your greatest mistake is that you are too conceited and untrusting. You claim that you love the civilization of mankind, but in fact, you don't love it at all. You have never loved or trusted any individuals in the civilization of mankind other than yourself. You don't believe that they can think and solve problems independently. You despise them!
"It's true that we don't have much time, but we can't be short of hundreds of years. For the changes of the universe and the evolution of civilizations, hundreds of years is nothing more than a snap of the fingers. Ever since the primeval war, the civilization of mankind has developed independently for at least a hundred thousand years. Can't we wait for hundreds of years?
"You should know very well that the development of civilizations has its own pattern. The magnificent plans to perform major operations on the entire civilization such as the 'Next Sun Plan' or the 'Virtualization Plan' shouldn't and can't be realized in only a hundred years. That would be too hasty, with too many side effects and too many sequelae. Also, the odds of failure are too high.
"If you were truly thinking for the civilization as a whole, you would've sowed the seeds, loosened the soil, laid a solid foundation, proposed your ideas, and waited for the latecomers to slowly turn them into reality.
"But you've embarked on an evil path of haste because you've never loved the civilization of mankind from the beginning to the end. What you love is the feeling of leading the civilization to glory as the commander-in-chief of mankind.
"Admit it. For you, the rise of a civilization is nothing more than a game. Every individual in a civilization is never a person made of flesh and blood but chess pieces and data. They are toys for you to satisfy your ambitions, your desire for victory, and your sense of achievement. You are the only player in the game!
"Since you are a player, you naturally don't want to wait for tens of thousands of years for the victory of the game. Instead, you want to shorten the time of the game without caring about the cost. After all, you are not the one who is paying the price!
"I have no doubt that you sincerely want to lead the civilization of mankind to glory, but it doesn't mean that you love our civilization. You only want to win and enjoy yourself.
"If, unfortunately, you fail, I believe that you will accept the fate of failure calmly. As for the billions of people dying with you, I believe that you do not care, nor have you ever considered it. After all, if you, as a player of the game, die, there is no need for the entire civilization of mankind to exist, right?
"This is the greatest difference between you and me. I am fighting for the civilization, and you are asking the civilization to fight for you!
"In the meantime, it is also destined that you will not win the support of most people despite all the sordid and shameless tricks today. Even the Immortal Cultivators will not stand on your side. You are going against the entire civilization. You are destined to fail and die without a proper burial!"
As Li Yao roared at the top of his lungs, the light of the red star illuminated the entire mental battlefield, setting the dark universe ablaze.
Even the black sun that was the symbol of Wuying Qi's soul had enormous red spots popping up. Violent magma was spurting out from the deepest part nonstop.
"Whatever you say, it's all groundless nonsense!"
Wuying Qi let out a twisted howl. "However nice your words are, you can't resolve the chaos in the capital. Only I and my 'Next Sun Plan' can!
"At this moment, the ace fleets of the four families are still in chaos. They are about to become loyal warriors for me and the Imperium. However, if the Gold Crystal Pyramid stops firing, they may recover in a couple of days and attack the capital planet again!
"Also, because of your sabotage, my Imperial Guards and the Deep Sea Fleet have lost their organization too. Their morale and unity are gone. They may not be able to recover in a couple of days. How can they resist the ace fleets of the four families that have regrouped?
"Nothing can reach the capital in a couple of days and stop the ace fleets of the four families, not to mention the main fleet of the Holy League that is still lurking in the darkness!
"How are you going to resolve such a mess? Is your so-called morality to sabotage my plan and watch the ace fleets of the four families wreak havoc on the capital planet and even the entire Imperium being swallowed by the Holy League? "
"Hehe. Wuying Qi, your stupidity is truly unimaginable. Have you not noticed anything wrong even to this moment?"
With a mysterious smile on his face, Li Yao stabbed a thick mental tentacle into Wuying Qi's soul and injected overwhelming information into his twisted mind. "Since we are going to stop your evil plan, we certainly have a more reliable solution. Let me unveil all the mysteries and shatter your self-righteous belief!"
Shua! Shua! Shua!
Shua! Shua! Countless pictures and sounds were injected into Wuying Qi's soul, almost blowing it up!
What appeared in the first picture was someone that Wuying Qi never expected — "God of War" Lei Chenghu!
It was seven days ago in the hangar of "Iron Torrent", the flagship of the Thunder Fleet, where Li Yao and Lei Chenghu were negotiating.
"In any case, without unquestionable proof, I will not doubt Your Majesty's loyalty to the Imperium and the entire civilization."
In the picture, Lei Chenghu said coldly, "Unless I see the whole truth, it will be difficult for me to cooperate with a Cultivator like you."
"No problem."
Li Yao in the picture said quickly, "I can show you the truth or even stream it live, but I believe that the capital must've been strictly blocked at this moment, and no information can be transmitted through the interference of the Spiritual Nexus.
"The blockage of the Spiritual Nexus on the four families' side can be resolved by the spies who have joined us. Here, Li Wuji, Marquess Yongchun, has very high permissions, but Blackstar the Great will certainly turn the capital planet into an impenetrable fortress, especially when it comes to his most secret trump cards.
"The only way is to hack Blackstar the Great's central network and hijack his crystal cameras and communication devices. But that will require an interface, a very critical and secret one. It will also take time. You have to buy half an hour for my specialists of crystal processors and the Spiritual Nexus at the very least!"
"About that … Okay."
Lei Chenghu hesitated for a moment and gnashed his teeth. "There is a private communication channel of the highest level between His Majesty and me. If I can turn on the channel and have a conversation with His Majesty for forty minutes to an hour, will it be enough for your specialists to sneak into His Majesty's central network through the channel?"
"A private communication channel? Forty minutes to an hour?"
