Three days passed.
Li Yao was quite busy during the three days.
He first performed the most thorough physical examination in the Empire, which was also the most advanced hospital in human civilization, and conducted the most in-depth research on his brain.
Then, he modified a "brainwave magnifier" according to his brainwave outbreak index and melted it into the central control room of the Gold Crystal Pyramid as the launch platform of the Sunspot Plan.
The good news was that the battle between the Imperium's army and the Covenant Alliance's army in the newly-recovered area was still going on. Although the main forces of the two parties did not show up, the battles of scouts, harassment, and spiritual energy did not stop for even one second.
The Holy League's battles and even the functioning of society were highly dependent on the Spiritual Nexus. Therefore, the Imperium attached great importance to the infiltration of the Holy League's Spiritual Nexus.
From the capital to the frontline, an unimpeded channel of information on the Spiritual Nexus had been established.
Li Yao's soul had been enhanced by the brainwave magnifier. Together with the boost of the Gold Crystal Pyramid, it was theoretically possible for him to cross the sea of stars and reach the frontline.
However, it was highly risky. It was like a ghost walking in a solar storm. One moment of carelessness, and his soul would be destroyed forever.
"Dad, are you really ready?"
Deep inside the Gold Crystal Pyramid, Xiaoming and Wenwen protected Li Yao as usual.
From a certain point of view, the two little fellows were perhaps the greatest beneficiaries of the entire "Shenwu Reform". Neither Li Yao nor Li Jialing improved as much as they did.
Before the "Divine Martial Reformation", they were merely two frightened children lurking in the depths of the capital planet. Even though they had a secret base under their control, it was still the debris and ruins from tens of thousands of years ago. What made up their "body" and "brain" were nothing more than rusted garbage and abandoned crystal processors that were riddled with holes.
But right now, the Immortal Cultivators of the reformists had to entrust the defense of the capital to them to make up for the shortage of soldiers and to coordinate the resources of various parties.
They could connect the most advanced super crystal processors of the Imperium of True Human Beings and the civilization of mankind to form their brand-new "brain".
They could also control thousands of the most advanced, powerful, and ruthless iron puppets to establish an overwhelming "unmanned fleet" as an extension of their limbs.
The database of the Imperium of True Human Beings, which was a hundred times more complicated than that of the Xing Yao Federation, was their most delicious "food". They chewed planet after planet and swallowed world after world, absorbing all the data that they could reach greedily.
The growth of the two little fellows was a hundred times faster than Li Yao's leveling speed. Every day, they would go through unexpected changes. Every day, they would bring new surprises to Li Yao. Every day, they would become more unfathomable.
To be honest, if it weren't for the rapid progress of the two kids and A Boxing Champion, it would've been impossible for Li Yao, Long Yangjun, Boss Bai, and the people of the Imperium to figure out the mysteries of the Gold Crystal Pyramid and put the Sunspot Plan into practice theoretically. Even Li Yao himself couldn't be woken up!
Li Yao had never doubted the kindness and sincerity of the two kids, but sometimes, or rather every morning, he could not help but be surprised by the growth of the two kids.
He had tested the people of the Imperium and asked Li Jialing, Li Linghai, and Lei Chenghu. Were the Immortal Cultivators so confident in leaving their nest to the new-generation information lives and bringing out the most advanced crystal processors and battle puppets? Were they not scared that the Spiritual Nexus would be awakened and the Smart Machines would rebel?
The three Immortal Cultivators gave the same answer.
They were scared, but they couldn't care less. For victory, they would do whatever it took.
Sometimes, they would drink poison even when they knew that it was quenching thirst. How could the idiom have been passed down if so many people hadn't been willing to drink poison to quench thirst?
Li Yao did not know whether it was a blessing or a curse that the two kids had grown so fast and grasped the enormous resources of the capital so "easily".
He did not know whether it was a blessing or a curse that he had awakened the abilities that were similar to "Divinity Branching" or "Telepathy".
He could only comfort himself that, whether it was a blessing or a curse, the evolution of human beings could not be stopped. The birth and growth of the new-generation lives, the heirs of human beings, could not be stopped either, just like the primeval civilizations that boasted immense strength and remarkable technologies failed to stop the rise of human beings hundreds of thousands of years ago.
Life would find a way out on its own. Tomorrow would come eventually.
"I'm ready. Let's begin."
Li Yao came back to himself from the vastness of his thoughts and smiled at the two kids.
Right now, the two kids looked completely different in his eyes.
They still looked like iron lumps with square heads, mechanical spiders that were baring their fangs and brandishing their claws, or even crystal processors and computation chips embedded in the walls.
However, Li Yao could see glittering sparks and flowing heat in the cold iron, and he sensed the scent of life in the sparks and heat.
They were the heartbeats and breaths of his kids.
Taking a deep breath, Li Yao sat on the glittering throne of the master of the Gold Crystal Pyramid that had been specially crafted for him.
Immediately, a few hollow needles that were as thin as hair were inserted into his veins and injected nutrition drugs that contained immense energy into his body.
Then, a glittering iron hat that was embedded with abundant marrow crystals slowly lowered and covered his head.
"Dad, Wenwen and I will closely monitor your breathing, heartbeat, brainwaves, and other parameters. Should anything go wrong, we'll wake you up by force."
Xiaoming said solemnly again, "However, there are no precedents for what you're going to do in the database. So, it's hard for us to evaluate what exactly counts as an 'anomaly'. Should your soul be ejected for too long and completely cut off from your body, you'll essentially be dead and become a wandering ghost.
"Also, the 'out-of-body experience' this time is even more dangerous than the 'paradise of sins' when you just arrived at the Imperium. At that time, your soul merely crawled into a cold iron puppet, but this time, you are going to crawl into the head of a human being with flesh and blood. One moment of carelessness, and you will be swallowed by somebody else and become part of somebody else. Even if you are not swallowed by somebody else, it will be very easy for you to be interfered with by somebody else's brainwaves and turn into something that cannot be named. Do you understand that?"
"I do."
Li Yao said, "Let's do it!"
"Alright, let the first experiment of the Sunspot Plan begin!"
Xiaoming and Wenwen activated the brainwave magnifier and the Gold Crystal Pyramid at the same time. Immediately, the entire "launch room" glowed, and every marrow crystal emitted the most brilliant brilliance as if they were about to explode. Countless rivers of rainbows seemed to be flooding the small room at the same time, enshrouding Li Yao and leaking into his pores.
Li Yao felt that he was about to turn into a rainbow and fly away.
"Ahhhhhhhhh!"
Li Yao shrieked hysterically. His body was heavier and heavier, but his soul was lighter and lighter. The sense of separation between his body and his soul was more and more obvious, as if his body was no longer a protective shell but a solid but stinky cage. He found it more and more unbearable to stay in such a clumsy, heavy, sticky, and stinky place. He jumped up like a lobster that had fallen into a pot of oil.
"Shua!"
Li Yao felt that his skull was falling apart. His soul was moving faster and faster through a colorful, highly-revolving tunnel. Finally, he was launched by the Gold Crystal Pyramid like a brilliant firework and appeared in the sky of the capital!
This was a feeling that was extremely difficult to describe with words.
Many people said that after a person died, their soul would leave their body and float in midair, looking at their dead body and their crying family members in a daze.
What Li Yao felt right now was similar to such a picture, except that it was a hundred times more detailed and abundant.
He was like an invisible and lofty god, or simply a lonely ghost who had been stripped naked and could not be seen by anyone, floating in the sky above the most prosperous business district of the Imperial Capital.
Below him were skyscrapers, cars, and lights. It was the most beautiful night view.
But what he could "see" was much more than that.
He could see the ripples of the Spiritual Nexus and the wireless communication, which looked like bridges of colorful threads that interweaved with each other.
He could see that every skyscraper, because of their different materials, was releasing tremendous radiation incessantly, like candlelight in different layers.
He could see the long exhaust flames left by the shuttles after they passed through the sky. The magnificence of the exhaust flames was impossible for normal people to see clearly.
Of course, the most glamorous things that occupied his vision were the stars that were about to fall below the horizon, the satellites that had just risen, and the radiation released by the capital planet itself, as well as the natural magnetic field that was formed by the fusion of the radiation.
Li Yao had never appreciated the beauty of a planet and the universe in such a way before. He was fascinated by them for a moment.
Only another kind of magnetic field, which was small but ever-changing and endlessly growing, could be compared to the beauty of the natural magnetic field.
That was the vitality magnetic field of human beings. It was the most beautiful flame that was continuously released from the depths of the brains of every person living on this beautiful planet and the mortal world.
Li Yao smiled and felt that he was like a drop of water that had fallen into a river. He was jumping among the waves of the Spiritual Nexus agilely and transmitting himself quickly with the power of the spiritual energy waves and the network transmission.
