"Alright. Mister … Earth Level Deity, I'm not dissatisfied with your abilities."
Lei Chenghu took a deep breath and rubbed his nose tiredly. "It's just that we are truly in a perilous situation right now. Other than the refreshing and life-prolonging techniques, do you have any — any techniques that are more direct?"
"Yes, I do."
Li Yao thought carefully for a moment. "Right now, I am ten times more sensitive to vitality fields and brainwaves than I was in the past. I can see through someone's vitality field easily. I can even condense my brainwaves into threads and extend them to invade other people's nerves to interfere with their brainwaves.
"It's like a very awesome expert of crystal processors can hack other people's crystal processors, tamper with the data, transmit information, or even cause massive paralysis by releasing a crystal processor virus.
"Of course, the human brain is a hundred times more complicated than the crystal processors. For the experts whose soul is powerful and whose belief is firm, it's like they have set up dozens of firewalls around their brains. I won't be able to crawl into them, either. If I'm careless, I might even be swallowed!
"But for the ordinary experts and ordinary people, it's possible for me to influence their brains. The simplest way is to invade their visual and auditory nerves, allowing them to see and hear things that don't exist."
Lei Chenghu was still frowning. "For example, seeing a series of dancing butterflies? What's the use of this thing?! "
"Not just butterflies!"
Li Yao blinked and looked at Lei Chenghu's slightly tired face. Suddenly, countless bright gold threads that were glittering but invisible to normal people spread out of his brain and extended toward Lei Chenghu, tying up his brain.
Weird brilliance flashed in Lei Chenghu's eyes. He suddenly jumped to his feet as if he had been stung by a venomous scorpion.
"What are you doing?"
He shrieked and burst into fury.
Everybody was greatly surprised to see Lei Chenghu, the 'God of War', who would not change his expression even if a planet collapsed in front of him.
"Hiss …"
Lei Chenghu was an unparalleled expert in the Divinity Transformation Stage after all. His soul was one of the most powerful in the entire Imperium. When he burst into fury, his flames of spiritual energy immediately drove out Li Yao's brainwaves and even hurt Li Yao. Li Yao exclaimed in pain and stepped back, covering his left eye.
When he opened his palm, his left eye was as red as blood, as if someone had punched it hard.
When he looked at Lei Chenghu again, his face was deathly pale, and there was still lingering fear in his heart. He looked like he had suffered a great shock.
"You invaded Lei Chenghu's visual nerves?"
Long Yangjun thought of something and immediately realized what was going on. "What kind of illusions did you project on his retina to scare him so badly? It can't be butterflies, can it?"
"It's not a butterfly, caterpillar, scorpion, or centipede."
Rubbing his red and swollen eye, Li Yao smiled and said, "It's just a countdown."
"A countdown that appears in front of someone's eyes for no reason, and they just can't get rid of it?"
Long Yangjun mumbled, "It does sound like a dreadful picture!"
"It's a pity that I'm still too weak. I can only launch an 'ambush' on an expert like Marquis Liaohai. Also, I only succeeded briefly when he was in a trance because he was busy with military affairs."
Li Yao opened his hands and said, "Once Marquis Liaohai realized what was going on and raised his wariness, my invasion collapsed, and my own soul was hurt."
"However, there are few experts in the Divinity Transformation Stage like Marquis Liaohai after all."
Long Yangjun was deep in thought. "If he were a second-rate expert in the Refinement Stage, the Building Foundation Stage, the Core Formation Stage, or even an ordinary person, it would've been barely possible for him to resist your invasion.
"Imagine that a series of glittering countdown suddenly appears in front of an ordinary person's eyes, and the countdown will follow him wherever he goes. Even when he closes his eyes when he is sleeping, the countdown will still be glittering in the darkness.
"At the same time, he will hear your voice in his ears. Your sharp, thin, and sneaky voice. Wow, I think there are only two outcomes for this ordinary person. Either he will go crazy, or he will worship you as a god."
"I think so, too."
Li Yao smiled bitterly. "It was not until today that I finally understood how the 'true deities' and the 'reincarnations of the deities' in the ancient times came to be. When one's vitality field is trained to the point where they can expand and influence other people freely, it is indeed very suitable for them to play tricks and gather a large batch of believers for themselves, creating a paradise on earth that does not exist!"
Everyone fell silent and fell into deep thought.
None of them were mediocre. Instead, they were the smartest people in the Imperium of True Human Beings. Naturally, they knew that pure combat ability was not enough to decide the outcome of the battle, and the techniques that could bewitch people on a large scale were the most critical.
"Now that I think about it, it's possible that Wuying Qi was ten times stronger than Li Yao. That's why he was able to bewitch everybody without them knowing and become 'Blackstar the Great' who dominates the entire sea of stars!"
Li Linghai looked at Lei Chenghu and said, deep in thought, "Marquis Liaohai, in the past, you and I worshipped Blackstar the Great so much, but how much of it was out of our sincerity, and how much of it was because we were affected by Wuying Qi's vitality field and bewitched without us knowing it?"
Lei Chenghu was slightly dazed, and his eyes were even more gloomy.
"That's right. If such a technique falls into the hands of an ambitious schemer, it may be a marvelous weapon that can turn the universe upside down."
Li Yao paused for a moment and said unconcernedly, "But for me, it's not very useful, because I've never thought about becoming a supreme deity or an emperor. That's too tiring work. You can do it if you want. I only want to be free and happy so that everybody in the world can be free and worry-free.
"However, the connection of the cranial nerves is bidirectional. When my virtual cranial nerves invade somebody else's brain, our brains will be connected. The visual and auditory information received by other people, including their thoughts, can be transmitted to me, realizing the sharing of vision and sound. We can even communicate telepathically and communicate at a high speed.
"It means that if I can enter someone's head, I will be able to see and hear what they see and hear even if they are thousands of kilometers away. I will even be able to communicate with them remotely without the help of any communication magical equipment.
"Of course, it's just a theoretical possibility. After all, I've only just awakened my brand-new abilities. I need to run experiments to know the success rate of 'vision sharing' and 'mental communication'."
"You can know everything that somebody sees and hears even if they are thousands of kilometers away, Brother Yao?"
Li Jialing was shocked. "So amazing. Isn't it the 'clairvoyance' and 'clairvoyance' in the ancient legends?"
"Exactly. I estimate that the 'clairvoyance' and 'clairvoyance' in the ancient legends are similar techniques too."
Li Yao said, "Even if one's eyesight is improved to the maximum, and even if one can reach the level of the most advanced telescopes, how can one see through the blockage of mountains and tall buildings and see what is behind the high walls?
"Clairvoyance is even more unreliable. To hear the sounds tens of thousands of kilometers away, how many interferences and noises are there? How can one filter and parse the sounds that one wants?
"Therefore, neither 'clairvoyance' nor 'clairvoyance' can be seen and heard directly but indirectly by sharing other people's vision and hearing.
"There's nothing magical about it. Be it sounds or images, they'll be transformed into bioelectricity and photoelectric signals when they enter the brain. The human brain sends these signals to the outside world in the form of brainwaves every minute and every second. It's like the ripples in a lake. They'll never calm down, but they'll be so weak that they can't be detected by the naked eye.
"As long as I can perceive the ripples that are invisible to the naked eye, I will be able to infer the pictures that they generate. It's as simple as that."
"As simple as that?"
Li Jialing thought for a moment and decided to shut up.
"So, you can see everything that somebody from the Holy League sees and hears right now?"
Lei Chenghu immediately grasped the military value of the technique. "For example, you can see everything that the advisors and guards of the leadership of the Holy League see? No, you can even enter the head of the Ultimate Benevolence Masters and see everything that they see? "
"How is that possible?"
Li Yao shouted, "Firstly, the five or six Ultimate Benevolence Masters of the Covenant Alliance must be experts who are adept at the secret arts of the mind. Chances are that they all know similar ways to attack and defend their brains. If I invade their brains recklessly, they will discover me if I'm not careful. Chances are that they will invade my brain and absorb everything in my head, turning me into their puppet. That will be like playing with fire!
"Secondly, we don't know where those wretched Ultimate Benevolence Masters are hiding at all. How can I search for them in the boundless universe? It must be noted that extending my brainwaves is equivalent to 'leaving my body', which is highly exhausting. You're asking me to search for a few Ultimate Benevolence Masters dozens of Sectors away through the Spiritual Nexus. Just think about the difficulties and risks. Chances are that my soul will be blown apart in a cosmic storm, and I'll be nothing but an empty shell lying at the bottom of the Gold Crystal Pyramid! "
Lei Chenghu pondered for a moment and asked, "Then, what kind of people from the Holy League can you get in touch with?"
"Sunspots."
