Master Illusionary Sea seemed to have foreseen his reaction. Instead of wasting his time talking to him, he simply looked at the other four Ultimate Benevolence Masters thoughtfully.
Then, a thousand rotating runes appeared in front of Master Illusionary Sea.
The Master of the Sea Illusion Sea extended his hand. His fingers turned into hundreds of streaks of brilliance that swept across the rotating runes quickly. The ten thousand crystal brains floating above everybody's head immediately hummed and emitted extraordinary colors, as if they had turned into living creatures that were bouncing nonstop under the enhancement of the flames of spiritual energy and mystic arts.
Inside the golden cube that sealed Lu Qingchen's soul, a thousand interconnecting gold threads immediately surfaced and cut his soul into countless cubes the size of dice.
The soul was invisible and naturally could not be cut into pieces. However, it meant that the Holy League's' violent cracking 'and' deep analysis' on Lu Qingchen's soul had begun.
"Ahhh!"
Lu Qingchen's wild laughter immediately turned into earsplitting screams. In the soul state, his expression of agony was particularly hideous. His mouth was opened so wide that his entire face was about to be ripped apart, and his virtual internal organs were spurting out of his throat that looked like a black hole. His soul was like a flower that blossomed and then decayed instantly. Even Li Yao couldn't help but feel shocked and sorry for him when he saw it in secret.
The gold threads tangled and cut faster and faster at a higher frequency. No matter how Lu Qingchen's soul was twisted and condensed, it would be cut, cracked, and analyzed again in the blink of an eye.
As the humming sounds of the crystal brains grew louder and louder, Lu Qingchen's soul became more and more broken and twisted. Gradually, it was unable to maintain the solid shape anymore and turned into a cluster of lackluster mist.
In the meantime, tremendous information and data were separated from Lu Qingchen's soul and transmitted to the crystal brains through cables.
The images of the five Ultimate Benevolence Masters melted into the brilliance of the crystal brain and read the data eagerly.
"Don't think about it. Don't think that you can get the secrets deep inside my soul!"
Lu Qingchen's soul struggled to unleash the most dazzling brilliance like a fire that was burning stubbornly in a storm. There was no telling whether he was screaming or laughing miserably. "I am a real human being. I will never bend to the maggots that grow on the corpses of the deities!"
The five Ultimate Benevolence Masters listened emotionlessly, but vague confusion flowed out of their eyes, as if they did not understand how a human being could be so stubborn as to compete with them.
Li Yao couldn't have felt more conflicted.
He had only experienced such feelings once in the Kunlun relic when he watched the Immortal Cultivator Kou Ruhuo lunging at the Pangu people who had been resurrected..
It was true that he and Lu Qingchen were mortal enemies...... and Lu Qingchen... and he believed that there was absolutely no possibility of compromise or cooperation..
However, however unforgivable Lu Qingchen was, he existed as a 'schemer of human beings' and was absolutely not the same as the 'inhumans' of the Covenant Alliance.
Besides, Li Yao's life form was very similar to Lu Qingchen's right now. The five Ultimate Benevolence Masters could deal with Li Yao the same way they dealt with Lu Qingchen. Li Yao did not feel comforted at all about Lu Qingchen's ending.
Lu Qingchen's life, as well as his dignity and pride, should not have ended so easily.
Lu Qingchen should have been captured and brought back to the Federation for a fair trial by his motherland!
"We cannot allow Lu Qingchen's soul to be 'dissected' by the Ultimate Benevolence Masters while he is still alive."
Li Yao said, "Leaving his feelings aside, Lu Qingchen's soul will be stripped and analyzed layer by layer if the torture continues. All the secrets about him, us, and the Xing Yao Federation will be revealed to the Ultimate Benevolence Masters.
"In any case, we have to stop the interrogation, dissection, and analysis of the Ultimate Benevolence Masters!"
"Don't be hasty. Didn't you think that Lu Qingchen would not be captured so easily?"
After a long silence, the mental devil suddenly said, "I vaguely understand Lu Qingchen's plan and purpose now."
"Oh?"
Li Yao was slightly dazed. "What plan?"
"The same retreat plan as the battle against the Black Wind Fleet!"
The mental devil said, "Do you still remember what Lu Qingchen did in the battle?"
"Of course I do. At that time, he intentionally exposed his identity as a 'double spy' and was captured by Heiye Ming, the commander of the Black Wind Fleet. He was locked on 'Black Swirl', the flagship of the Black Wind Fleet, where he was interrogated and even tasted the most excruciating pain in the world."
Li Yao said, "In fact, he was ready to abandon his fleshly body a long time ago, but he 'uploaded' his soul to the mainframe crystal processor of 'Black Swirl' when the Immortal Cultivators pierced the probes into his brain and examined his brainwaves. Then, he controlled the entire Black Wind Fleet through Black Swirl.
"As a result, the mainframe crystal processor of Black Swirl became his brand-new brain, and he further invaded Heiye Ming's brain through the extremely powerful 'brain'. He turned the commander of the Black Wind Fleet into his puppet and 'demonized' the entire Black Wind Fleet. A lot of Immortal Cultivators turned into Demonic Cultivators, and their combat ability was significantly improved.
"Had you and I not shown up majestically at the last moment, waving the iron fists of justice and blowing him into smithereens, I'm afraid that his scheme would've worked out!
"Wait. Wait. Wait. Why does the plan sound so familiar? Are you saying — are you saying —"
"Yes. The failure of the battle was not the fault of the battle because nobody could've foreseen that you and I would arrive at the center of the battlefield with the twelve experts of the Ancient Sages Sector. It was not because there was anything wrong with Extraterrestrial Devil Mo Xuan and Lu Qingchen's plan," the mental devil said.
"Everybody in the Xing Yao Federation knows the whole process of the battle, but nobody in the Imperium or the Holy League at the center of the cosmos knows anything about it at all. Is it strange that Lu Qingchen wanted to copy his carefully designed plan that failed when he was on the verge of success?
"Therefore, it has been a trap since the Divine Heart Brotherhood reappeared in the human world. Lu Qingchen intentionally released all kinds of brain viruses in order to make the five Ultimate Benevolence Masters pay more attention to him and consider him the most dangerous person in the world."
Li Yao's soul ripples became more and more rapid. "When the time was right, he would create a few shocking cases and leave traces on purpose. Then, the people of the Holy League would track him down. Eventually, his soul would explode and he would be captured by accident. His purpose was exactly the same as when he was captured on 'Black Swirl' years ago. He was trying to approach the flagship of the Holy League's army and the five Ultimate Benevolence Masters!
"Exactly. Only by becoming the most dangerous wanted criminal in the Holy League and hiding secrets that could reverse the situation deep inside his soul could he attract the attention of the five Ultimate Benevolence Masters. Only by 'exploding his soul' and pretending that his soul was broken and unable to resist the dissection and analysis could he successfully lower the wariness of the five Ultimate Benevolence Masters."
The mental devil sneered, "When the five Ultimate Benevolence Masters connected the mainframe crystal processor of the 'Fuxi system' to his brain and performed a deep analysis on his soul, it gave him an opportunity to corrupt the 'Fuxi system'. When the five Ultimate Benevolence Masters observed his soul carefully, wasn't he staring at the souls of the five Ultimate Benevolence Masters coldly too?
"As long as he controls the 'Fuxi system' and the five Ultimate Benevolence Masters exactly like last time, wouldn't he be able to soar into the sky and become the 'new mainframe' of the entire 'quasi-bee civilization'? Wouldn't he be able to accomplish a shocking feat?"
"But —"
Li Yao found it hard to believe. "The complexity and defense of the 'Fuxi system' are much more advanced than the mainframe crystal processor of 'Black Swirl'. The five Ultimate Benevolence Masters are much stronger than Heiye Ming, too!"
"Exactly. That's why Lu Qingchen is still waiting for the best opportunity," the mental devil said.
"While the 'Fuxi system' and the five Ultimate Benevolence Masters are much more advanced than the crystal processors of the Black Wind Fleet and Heiye Ming, their commander, the enemy that they are about to face, the army of the Imperium of True Human Beings, is not something that the Union Army can compare to, either!
"Think about it. There are only forty-eight hours to go before the Fuxi fleet, the main force of the Holy League, attacks the capital. By then, the enormous fleet that can obscure the stars will jump to the center of the Empyreal Terminus Sector, where a final battle that is even more brilliant and cruel than the expedition of the Star Ocean Imperium ten thousand years ago will begin.
"At the very least, during the moment of the jump, how to gather the troops, how to command them, how to break through the defense fire net of the Imperium's army, how to assault the capital planet as quickly as possible … All the operations and the astronomical information and data turbulence will impose unprecedented pressure on the brains of the 'Fuxi system' and the five Ultimate Benevolence Masters.
"At that moment, the computational ability of the 'Fuxi system' and the five Ultimate Benevolence Masters will hit rock bottom, and the firewall of the Spiritual Nexus and the mental defense wall will be attacked crazily by the Imperium's army. They will be riddled with holes and on the verge of collapse. Won't it be the best opportunity for Lu Qingchen?
"It does sound crazy, but like I said, as a remnant soul that has infiltrated the Holy League on his own, it is his only chance, just like it is our only chance!"
"No wonder Lu Qingchen chose such a moment to release the brand-new 'Love Virus' and the 'Fury Virus' in a row in order to raise a great riot!"
Li Yao mumbled, "If it was earlier or later, he wouldn't have been able to wait until the fiercest moment of the glamorous collision between the Holy League and the Imperium's army. In that case, he would've walked right into the trap.
"The guy is truly insane. His plan is a reckless gamble. He is dancing on the edge of a bloodstained blade. There is not even a 1% chance of success …"
"Aren't we thinking the same thing as him? We are all coveting the 'Fuxi system'."
