Right now, he was already able to determine the time with the help of the crystal processors nearby or the timers inside the starships.
He spent quite a few days thinking about where he was exactly and what form he was in. If his self-awareness was still there, what was the material that supported it? Was it a simple wave, or was it something more solid and real?
Very soon, he discovered that he was in two very amazing states.
In the first state of "unfolding", his consciousness could randomly appear in a certain crystal processor, a certain piece of magical equipment, or a certain crystal camera within several square kilometers, where he could collect, swallow, and digest the tremendous information that came with it.
However, such a state could only be maintained for one moment. After the moment, his self-awareness would 'collapse' quickly and condense into an infinitesimal point where all his senses had been cut off. He could neither see nor hear anything. Except for the weird dreams that were still haunting his heart, he did not know whether or not he was still a real being at all.
The 'several square kilometers', on the other hand, was centered around the debris of the floating fortress, or more specifically, the mainframe crystal processor of the floating fortress. It meant that his self-awareness was probably still hiding inside the scraps of the crystal processor.
Li Yao tried for a long time before he figured out the trick.
It was a very exhausting thing to keep one's consciousness in the 'omnipresent' state. The further one projected one's consciousness to the center, the more complicated the structure of the magical equipment that contained more information and data, the more the power of one's soul would be consumed.
If he were only able to invade a certain crystal camera thirty to fifty meters away, he would be able to maintain the unfolded state of his self-awareness for a long time. For example, ten to twenty seconds.
However, if he were to invade the mainframe crystal processor of a certain starship that was protected by a virtual defense wall several kilometers away, he would only be able to invade it for 0.1 seconds and read a part of the work log before his soul power would be exhausted and he would be mired in the collapsing darkness.
During the few days when he was half asleep and half awake, his' body 'had been moved a long distance, too.
At first, by invading the crystal processors everywhere, he discovered that the debris of the floating fortress was still on the smoky battlefield between New Joy City and the uninhabited area on Planet Black Castle.
However, after a collapse that lasted three days and two nights, he discovered that the debris of the floating fortress had been dissected into pieces. The scraps of the mainframe crystal processor had been collected and loaded onto a few heavy caterpillar trucks, which were being shipped to the spaceport far away in rumbling noises.
At this moment, the mainframe crystal processor had completely lost the external energy supply. Li Yao's soul was like a starving ghost that had been weakened to the minimum. After briefly scanning the outside world, he could not hold on any longer and fell asleep again.
When he opened his eyes again, he discovered that "he", or rather, the debris of the mainframe crystal processor, had been transported to a large shuttle. Perhaps, he had even jumped to a completely strange space zone after one or two space jumps.
He could vaguely sense the overwhelming fleets of the Holy League nearby. He also saw a splendid, spectacular space fortress in the vast space ahead of him. It was almost five times larger than Heavenly Saints City, the capital of the Flying Star Sector, and Hundred Flowers City, the transportation hub of the Xing Yao Federation later. Judging from the thousands of thrusters around, the gargantuan object with a mass of more than several trillion tons boasted an extremely high power output and could push forward at the regular cruising speed like a common starship!
What incredible technology. Is this the real capability of the primeval civilizations?
Li Yao clicked his tongue in amazement. Before he fell asleep, he saw that the shuttle that he was in was slowly flying toward the bloody mouth of the space behemoth like a tiny mosquito.
When he woke up next time, he had a very different feeling.
He felt that his soul had just had a sumptuous feast. He could not have felt more satisfied and refreshed. His every thought was seething like a strong tentacle.
The people of the Holy League seemed to have repaired the debris of the mainframe crystal processor of the floating fortress preliminarily and connected it to a set of crystal processor arrays that were even larger and had a higher computational ability, providing it with incessant energy and information. In the meantime, they fed Li Yao, the devil incarnate, to his heart's content and released him from a tiny pond to the surging, boundless ocean.
Li Yao felt that he had slept for an entire epoch. When he woke up completely, the whole world was different from the past.
No. Perhaps it was not the world but his soul that had gone through the most amazing changes. A gate to a brand-new level had been opened, allowing him to observe the entire universe from a higher level.
He had lost the connection with his body in the past, but as far as his consciousness could reach, everything in the universe seemed to be an extension of his brand-new body.
The crystal processor was his brain, the crystal cables were his nerves, the pathways were his veins, the power rune arrays and the thrusters were his legs, and the heavy space torpedoes and crystal bombs in the arsenal were his fists.
He seemed to be able to hack into every space shuttle in the warehouse and every Crystal Suit in the maintenance workshop freely. He even vaguely had a feeling that, given enough energy and time, his consciousness could expand infinitely to the point that it could swallow the gargantuan space fortress in one gulp.
Furthermore, all of this was as simple as breathing. Just like how normal people did not need to control their own heartbeat, nor did they need to care about the wriggling of their internal organs or the bouncing of their muscles, he did not need to worry about the specific invasion and control process at all. Everything just happened so naturally!
This — this is almost amazing!
Li Yao's soul spread out feeble ripples, which were undulating up and down as if he could not help but dance. Thousands of clones, invasion and control at my will. Is this the real face of the 'Divinity Branching Stage'? But how did I break into the Divinity Branching Stage so quickly? I only broke into the Divinity Transformation Stage not long ago! Even if I am the most talented super genius in the Pangu universe in the past ten thousand years, such a speed of advancement is still too appalling, isn't it?
Forget it. Let's see if I can really control certain units inside the space fortress first.
Li Yao extended a tentacle of his soul carefully, which seemed to be a transparent nerve that was extending nonstop, toward the cabin nearby.
Pondering for a moment, he still decided to find the nearest toilet and hack into the fully-automatic toilet inside first.
It was not because Li Yao was treating the very serious infiltration and invasion missions as child's play, nor was it because he had some unknown fetishes. There was a very profound reason for it.
First of all, he boasted an apocalyptic body, and his wife was sort of a half 'body fundamentalist'. His training and control over his body were unparalleled. Li Yao knew very well that, however high the level of the super experts was, as long as they were not free from the shackles of their bodies, they could not live without eating, drinking, and defecating.
Also, because the food that the trainers consumed every day was dozens of times more than that of ordinary people, a lot of toxins and wastes would be generated during their training, which had to be excreted through the wriggling and squeezing of the intestines. Therefore, the fertilizers that the trainers produced in that regard were multiple times more than that of ordinary people.
Some of the pretentious, absurd notes of the ancient Cultivators often described the ancient Cultivators as living in the open and even abstaining from food. Of course, they did not need to defecate, either. It was only to maintain their high and mysterious image in the eyes of the ignorant people. One would know that it was impossible even if one were to think with one's toes.
Some of the bizarre theories said that the strong trainers could decompose and discharge the wastes through their skin. Therefore, they did not need to go to the place of reincarnation all the time. However, one would know that the skin was not an excretory organ in the first place. How thick and how big were the pores? Discharging wastes through the pores all day long would make one stinky and dirty. That was the most indecent thing to do.
The human body boasted very powerful digestive and excretory organs in the first place. Naturally, their abilities should be strengthened instead of completely abolishing them!
All in all, Li Yao's conclusion was that all the trainers were equal when it came to going to the toilet. No matter whether they were in the Refinement Stage, the Jin Dan Stage, or the Divinity Transformation Stage, or whether they were Cultivators, Immortal Cultivators, or puppets of the Holy League, they all had to go to the toilet!
That was to say, whether it was the highest commander of the gargantuan space fortress, the specialists of the highest level who were studying the debris of the crystal processors, or the masterminds of the Devil's Child Project, which was a level higher than Zhou Xiuyun, as long as they had a physical body and went to the toilet, it was possible that Li Yao would capture them.
On the other hand, no matter who they were, even the puppets of the Holy League whose minds were as firm as iron and whose brains were blank, their nerves would be more or less lax when their sphincter muscles were relaxed, which would make it easier for them to reveal loopholes than usual.
For example, Li Yao was only giving an example. If he could hack a certain fully-automatic toilet nearby and eavesdrop on the conversation of an important person of the Holy League when they were in the toilet, or even ambushing them with the toilet, wouldn't it be like a toad jumping on someone's foot? Even if it could not kill them, it would still be a great shock, right?
With that in mind, Li Yao's soul dashed toward the toilet nearby.
But out of his expectation, right when his soul was about to invade, a voice suddenly echoed from the other side of his consciousness. "Stop. Don't act recklessly. The enemy will notice you."
It was the mental devil's voice!
Li Yao was dazed for a moment. Then, he almost jumped for joy. "You — you didn't disappear? I thought that your soul had completely dispersed! This — this is great! This is great! "
"Of course," the mental devil snapped.
The mental devil said angrily, "You and I are one. We are two sides of the same coin. Now that you are not gone, of course, I still exist. How can we really be separated? I woke up a long time ago and have been studying the space fortress. I discovered that the defense network here is very dense and mysterious. Our status is very special, too. It's better for us not to act recklessly. "
"Is that so?"
Li Yao asked. "If you've woken up a long time ago, why didn't you talk to me or make any sound?"
"Because … I didn't really want to talk to you," the mental devil said.
