Li Yao found it hard to believe. "It's been a thousand years, and those sunspots are still under the control of the recessive genes?"
"That's the mystery of genes and soul marks."
Wuying Qi 3.0 said casually, "Even though hundreds of thousands of years have passed, human beings are still scared of spiders and snakes. Even the non-venomous snakes are instinctively disgusting. Many people are even scared of chickens and ducks because the ancestors of those birds were dinosaurs. There's no reason to explain the fear and obedience on the genetic level.
"Of course, the 'artificial intervention' that I did on those people a thousand years ago was relatively superficial. Therefore, the effect of this recessive gene is gradually fading as it is passed down from generation to generation. A thousand years ago, 5% of people carried this gene, but a thousand years later, perhaps only 1% or even 0.5% of people can continue to maintain their loyalty to me.
"Although there aren't many of them, it's already enough to have 0.5% of 'moles' in the enemy's army on the ever-changing and confusing battlefield, isn't it?
"At the very least, you can learn the specific location and strategy of the Holy League's army through the sunspots. You can even interfere with their commands. If one of the enemy's commanders happens to be a sunspot loyal to us, we'll definitely win, won't we?"
Li Yao thought for a moment and realized that it did make sense.
In the profession of spies, as long as one or two of them played a role in critical positions, the outcome of a battle could be decided.
It was needless to say that 0.5% to 1% of the population were spies. How could the battle be won?
No wonder Wuying Qi was so fearless.
On the surface, the reformists didn't stand a chance at all under the joint attack of the four families and the Alliance of the Holy Covenant, but in fact, as long as the Next Sun Plan worked out, he would have the four families' ace fleets, a ferocious army, and the help of the spies inside the Holy League. His odds of victory were very high.
However, too many anomalies were still hidden in the Sunspot Plan, and it was certainly not as simple as Wuying Qi described. Pondering for a moment, Li Yao said, "Even if what you said is true, how are you going to activate the … sunspots? You don't even know who they are or where they are!"
"That's right. That's why you have to be the master of the Gold Crystal Pyramid. It's the key to both the Next Sun Plan and the Sunspot Plan."
Wuying Qi 3.0 said with a smile, "I don't need to find the sunspots at all. As long as I send my brainwaves to the Sectors where the fleets of the Covenant Alliance are likely to be, I'll be able to find the sunspots automatically. It's like a crystal processor can automatically search for the Spiritual Nexus and connect to it automatically."
"Isn't this … too exaggerated?"
Li Yao frowned. "Wouldn't we have to infuriate the sun and destroy the entire Empyreal Terminus Sector?"
"That's unnecessary. The Next Sun Plan requires the enhancement of the sun because the Immortal Cultivators who have strong souls and beliefs are brainwashed to brainwash the entire Sector."
Wuying Qi 3.0 explained, "However, in the Sunspot Plan, you don't need to brainwash hundreds of millions of people. All you need to do is to send your brainwaves to a certain Sector through the Spiritual Nexus and enter the heads of certain sunspots precisely. Precision is important, and it doesn't cost much energy. So, the crystals here are enough without involving the sun.
"If you think about it carefully, you'll know that I'm not lying. The Sunspot Plan is a follow-up to the Next Sun Plan. In the Next Sun Plan, the sun of the Empyreal Terminus Sector must've been infuriated, and I have to control the solar storm within the limits instead of adding fuel to the fire. Otherwise, if the sun expands to the point that it swallows the entire capital planet, even the Gold Crystal Pyramid below the ground will be destroyed. How can I carry out my plan then?"
Li Yao thought for a moment and realized that it did make sense, but he found something else suspicious. "Wait, I know a thing or two about the Spiritual Nexus too. Don't try to fool me. The Imperium of True Human Beings and the Alliance of the Holy Covenant can't use the same Spiritual Nexus system, right? Even if your brainwaves, soul, or thoughts could be transmitted to the Spiritual Nexus of the Imperium through the Gold Crystal Pyramid and reach the border of the Imperium, how could you jump to the Covenant Alliance? Don't tell me that your telepathic thoughts are so powerful that you can even penetrate the Spiritual Nexus of the Holy League! "
"That's certainly impossible."
Wuying Qi 3.0 said, "It's true that I tried to launch my soul into the Spiritual Nexus through the Gold Crystal Pyramid. I even tried to jump to the Spiritual Nexus of the Holy League, but just like you said, the universe is too vast, and the Spiritual Nexus is too unstable. Also, the Holy League has highly encrypted and defended their network. It's barely possible for my brainwaves to penetrate it. If I'm careless, I might've been killed by them as a virus, which would've caused serious damage to my soul.
"However, my brainwaves don't need to invade the Holy League's territory at all. As long as I wait in the Imperium, the main fleet of the Holy League will walk into my trap, won't it?"
Li Yao's eyes bulged wider and wider. "Are you talking about the invasion of the main fleet of the Holy League?"
"Exactly."
Wuying Qi 3.0 smiled and said, "In the so-called 'Imperium's counterattack', the Holy League did not try its best at all. Instead, it retreated in order to extend the Imperium's supply line as long as possible so that the Imperium would spend most of its precious resources in the newly-conquered areas. That way, the expedition army and the homeland of the Imperium could be defeated in one battle!
"Even Lei Chenghu saw through it. How could I not see through it?
"Therefore, the main fleet of the Holy League must've been lurking in the darkness, waiting for the best opportunity to take place inside the Imperium.
"At this moment, two shocking battles are taking place in the Seven Seas Space Zone and the capital at the same time. At first glance, the reformists, the expedition army, and the four families have all devoted their best forces to the battle. This is the best opportunity for the main-force fleet of the Covenant Alliance to take action!
"Therefore, I'm certain that when the war between the Seven Seas Space Zone and the capital reaches the Holy League, the main fleet of the Holy League will take action immediately. Chances are that they're already marching to the heartland of the Imperium in secret!
"Hehe. I can't do anything to those puppets when they're hiding in their nest, but once they enter the heartland of the Imperium, they'll enter the coverage of the Spiritual Nexus of the Imperium. My telepathic thoughts will be able to crawl into the heads of the sunspots through the Gold Crystal Pyramid and the Spiritual Nexus of the Imperium.
"Regular people of the Holy League won't react to my telepathic thoughts at all, but those sunspots are very sensitive to my telepathic thoughts and will certainly be awakened by me. By then, the main fleet of the Holy League that thinks that they've won will be trapped, won't they?"
"Ah …"
Li Yao did not know that Wuying Qi had such a sordid plan.
It was truly a case of the mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind. The people of the Covenant Alliance thought that they were going to reap the benefits later. Little did they know that they were still jumping into the trap that Wuying Qi set for them.
"However, there's a slight change in the Sunspot Plan right now."
Wuying Qi 3.0 looked at Li Yao and said, "I was supposed to be the leader of the Sunspot Plan. When the sunspots sensed my soul, their recessive genes would be awakened, and they would be loyal to me and obey all my orders unconditionally.
"However, you're not me. You've only inherited part of the features of my soul at best. It's like the difference between a 'true god' and a 'divine servant'. In the eyes of the sunspots, I'm a true god, and you're just a priest who controls part of the divine power at best.
"Therefore, whether or not you can carry out the Sunspot Plan to the end, whether or not you can reach out to the sunspots, and whether or not you can make them listen to you is still unknown.
"But in any case, if you want to resolve the invasion of the Holy League at a minimal cost, the Sunspot Plan is an option that you can't avoid. To activate the Sunspot Plan, you have to become the master of the Gold Crystal Pyramid first."
Li Yao frowned and thought for a long time.
Wuying Qi 3.0's words were not wrong, but they did contain high risks.
"Are you still hesitating whether or not you should take the risk? Then, let me give you a few more chips."
Wuying Qi 3.0 smiled and said, "Now that you have the whole key, you can explore the secrets of the Supreme Emperor's mausoleum. Li Linghai will tell you the coordinates of the mausoleum even if I don't tell you. However, neither you nor Li Linghai are suitable for exploring the mausoleum. Even if you enter the mausoleum, you won't be able to enter it for hundreds of years.
"Divinity Branching Stage. You have to be at least in the Divinity Branching Stage to open the gate of the Supreme Emperor's mausoleum and resist the ultimate power from ten thousand years ago!
"Do you want to experience the feeling of the Divinity Branching Stage? Do you want to become a more mysterious life form? I can tell that you're already above the peak of the Divinity Branching Stage. All you need is a new opportunity. Then, the Gold Crystal Pyramid and the Sunspot Plan will be your best training tools. Through the Gold Crystal Pyramid, you can project your telepathic thoughts into the heads of the sunspots and feel that you're living as dozens of people at the same time. That's the opportunity for the Divinity Branching Stage!"
"Well …"
Li Yao gasped and couldn't help but swallow.
"I can give you all the information about the usage of the Gold Crystal Pyramid and my experience in the Divinity Branching Stage."
