"I know what Lu Qingchen is up to exactly now!"
The mental devil suddenly said while the Puppet King was laughing crazily.
"What?"
Li Yao was deeply stimulated by the arrogance and smugness from the Puppet King, too. He was rather wary.
"In case you've forgotten, let me repeat Lu Qingchen's goal," the mental devil said.
"Back in the Federation, the guy and Extraterrestrial Devil Mo Xuan drew a magnificent blueprint together. They intended to realize the comprehensive virtualization and the Spiritual Nexus of the civilization of mankind. The ultimate form was probably that all human beings did not need a fleshly body but only a tiny part of the reproductive system that could pass on genes and the core of the brain that could maintain the fundamental self. In such a way, the consumption of resources would be minimized.
"The soul of human beings and the essence of the civilization of mankind could all be migrated to the virtual world built by the Spiritual Nexus and the crystal processors, or the 'Spiriters' Realm '.
"In the Spiriters' Realm, everybody's desires, imagination, and creativity would be unleashed to the maximum. It wouldn't matter even if the whole world was turned upside down because everything could be restarted in the blink of an eye.
"In the meantime, they could also design a lot of 'shells' with different appearances and functions, like artificial bodies, battle puppets, and even the upgraded versions of the Colossi. The soul of human beings could enter the shells freely and move and modify them freely in the material world, thereby completing the control of the virtual world over the material world.
"This is the ultimate future of mankind in the vision of Lu Qingchen and Mo Xuan!"
"You don't have to explain it so clearly."
Li Yao said, "Of course, I remember the picture that they drew. Objectively speaking, such a future might not necessarily be wrong, but it required thousands of years of preparation. They were too hasty and violated the objective law of evolution. Naturally, they were doomed."
"Yes. According to the material foundation of the Xing Yao Federation, they were indeed too hasty. Even Lu Qingchen admitted just now that the conditions were not ripe yet and his actions were too reckless," the mental devil said.
"However, the dreams that cannot be realized in the Federation may not necessarily be unachievable in the Holy Alliance.
"The Xing Yao Federation and the Alliance of the Holy Covenant are two vastly different countries in terms of social system, popular will, Spiritual Nexus, and crystal processor technology.
"Before the 'extraterrestrial devils' were exposed, the technologies of the Spiritual Nexus and the crystal processors in the Star Glory Federation were not very advanced. They were still in the embryonic stage of artificial intelligence and were not enough to support the 'magnificent' dreams of Lu Qingchen and Extraterrestrial Devil Mo Xuan. It was already the best that they could achieve the level of the 'Tinder Plan' and create a small virtual Spiriters' Realm.
"Also, the many constituent worlds of the Star Glory Federation attach great importance to the self-sufficient life on the habitable planets. Every planet has the ability of self-circulation. To be honest, even if the grand-unified Spiritual Nexus is suddenly cut off, the civilization will not collapse instantly. Can't the Heaven's Origin Sector, the Blood Demon Sector, and the Flying Star Sector establish their own system?
"What is more important is the human heart.
"The federation is sort of a 'normal country' that is more traditional and conservative. From the rulers to the middle-level managers to the bottom-level warriors and the people, they have all established indestructible beliefs after hundreds of years of battles and education. How can they accept the migration of their soul to the virtual world, keeping only the core of the brain and the reproductive system in the real world, and manipulating the artificial body for activities if anything happens? Why does such a weird and terrifying way of life sound so weird and terrifying?
"Therefore, Lu Qingchen and Extraterrestrial Devil Mo Xuan have been challenging an impossible mission since the very beginning. They knew very well that the chances of success were slim, too. They were only trying to inspire their successors and had to try their luck no matter what. It was made clear when Professor Mo Xuan perished.
"Think about it. Even if Lu Qingchen and Extraterrestrial Devil Mo Xuan's plan worked out, and they did hijack the entire Black Wind Fleet and sabotage most of the super crystal processors of the Xing Yao Federation, paralyzing the entire Federation, so what? Was it possible to force the people of the Federation to be reborn into a new life form?
"It was impossible. Leaving aside whether or not the people of the Federation could accept it and whether or not they would resist for a hundred years, the medical and crystal processor technology of the Federation at that time was far from enough to support a 'super Spiriters' Realm 'with a population of tens of billions."
"Fair enough."
Li Yao admitted it. "Lu Qingchen was crazy from the very beginning. Therefore, he was doomed to die for his sins. He was obliterated under the suppression of my iron fist of justice!"
"Yes. His' virtualization of mankind 'plan could never have worked out in the Federation, but what about in the Holy League?"
The mental devil said coldly. "Did you notice that the Holy League was almost a perfect country that was tailor-made for Lu Qingchen's plan? All the conditions and technologies that were not mature in the Federation were mature and available here!
"First of all, as a 'quasi-bee civilization', the Holy League boasted the most advanced crystal processor and Spiritual Nexus technologies of the three forces, didn't it?
"It is not to say that the computational ability of the super crystal processors of the Holy League was much higher than that of the Imperium and the Federation. It is to say that the Holy League is a country that completely relies on the Spiritual Nexus. The Spiritual Nexus has infiltrated every capillary and nerve ending of the country. It has even crawled into the brain of every 'worker bee' and 'soldier bee'.
"For the 'information life forms' such as us, be it you, me, Xiaoming, Wenwen, A Boxing Champion, or Lu Qingchen, the Puppet King, the more developed the Spiritual Nexus is, the more capable we will be in carrying out our full strength and even activating our infinite potentials!
"Secondly, the medical technology in the Holy League is highly developed, too. I'm referring to the Holy League's studies on the human brain and the technology to breed artificial embryos.
"In Lu Qingchen's ultimate picture, the redundant organs of a human being can be removed, leaving only the core of the brain and the reproductive system. Or rather, even the reproductive system is not necessary. As long as we can find a way to reproduce the genes of human beings infinitely and maintain the ability of genetic mutations, everything will be fine.
"Neither the Federation nor the Imperium is equipped with such technology, but it is very popular in the Holy League. The brainwashing of the Channeling Temples involves a lot of brain surgery and psychology technologies. The man-manufacturing factories, on the other hand, are places where human beings are stored and reproduced after slight modifications. They are enough to accommodate the 'new human beings' that Lu Qingchen modified!
"Most importantly of all, in both the Federation and the Imperium, people are independent and stubborn. They will not give up their current life form easily. Also, they are highly suspicious and resistant to 'information life forms' or 'Spiriters'. Isn't it exactly why we have been considering how to confess the existence of Xiaoming and Wenwen step by step?
"Lu Qingchen's plan will certainly raise a great uproar in both the Federation and the Imperium. The debates of a hundred years may even ruin his reputation and kill him.
"However, in the Holy League, in the goddamn Holy League, most of the people are 'soldier bees' and 'worker bees' who do not have self-awareness and self-awareness. Their brains are blank papers that other people can paint however they want.
"The Ultimate Benevolence Masters hope that the brains of the soldier bees and the worker bees will be kept white and clean, but Lu Qingchen wants to paint thousands of brains with his colors! Since he can implant viruses such as Disillusionment, Glory, Gluttony, Love, Fury, and so on into people's heads, why can't he implant the idea that the Spiriters are the most perfect, ultimate form of the civilization of mankind and that all of us will receive eternal happiness in the virtual world?
"By then, billions of 'soldier bees' and 'worker bees' will become his believers instantly. The magnificent blueprint that should've taken thousands of years to realize may really arrive in the human world overnight!"
Li Yao felt that his soul had been frozen, like an ocean that had been sealed by ice.
But under the solidified waves, there was a cracking sound. That was his mind trembling.
"That's right …"
Li Yao mumbled, "The Holy League is indeed a more suitable place for the virtualization of mankind than the Federation. However, does Lu Qingchen really have enough computational ability to defeat the five Ultimate Benevolence Masters and control the entire Fuxi system?"
"Nobody knows if he has enough computational ability, but right now is indeed his best, if not his only, opportunity. If I were him, I would've made the gamble too."
The mental devil said, "Look, the war between the Holy League and the Imperium is coming. If the two superpowers at the center of the cosmos really have a strategic battle, billions of stars will be turned into an ocean of fire instantly. How much pressure will the leaders of the two parties be under?
"By then, even if the five Ultimate Benevolence Masters are truly blessed by the gods, I'm afraid that they will be suffocated by the enormous military pressure. Their computational ability and soul defense will hit rock bottom, won't they?
"It is needless to say that the people of the Imperium will certainly not wait to be killed. In desperation, they will certainly counterattack and try to attack the pivot of the Holy League.
"Aren't you and I the sharp daggers that the Imperium sent to stab into the heart of the Holy League?
"If the Covenant Alliance and the Imperium are both heavily wounded as Lu Qingchen imagined, and one or two of the five Ultimate Benevolence Masters are killed, it is possible that he can hack the brains of all the remaining Ultimate Benevolence Masters and even control the entire Fuxi system if he breaks out at the most critical moment!
"We don't know to what extent Lu Qingchen has evolved yet, nor do we know what the mysterious existence behind him is. Who knows whether or not he can modify the 'Fuxi system' into a magnificent, boundless Spiriters' Realm?
