Boom! Boom boom boom boom boom!
Lu Qingchen's roar turned into a super-heavy crystal bomb of a million tons and exploded deep inside Li Yao's soul, blowing a certain barrier that sealed his soul into pieces at the core.
In a trance, Li Yao vaguely saw his past self floating on the blue Earth again. He swore to the mysterious, unpredictable planet that he could not tell if it was real or not. One day, I will return, complete the Vulture Plan, and destroy Earth!
Then came Lu Qingchen's shout.
"Even if I'm just an insignificant speck of dust, the gods and devils above everything in the universe can never control my trajectory. If the universe is really a puppet show destined to be played, then I will destroy the universe!"
Destroy Earth!
Destroy the universe!
Destroy Earth!
Destroy the universe!
Destroy, destroy, destroy. Earth, earth, earth, universe, universe, universe!
At that moment, Li Yao, who was standing on Earth, and Lu Qingchen, who was standing proudly in front of Fuxi, overlapped. Their phantoms condensed into a key that unlocked the secret that had been sealed in the depths of Li Yao's memory for a long time.
"Break the endless cycle that has been repeating for billions of years, liberate the billions of creatures trapped in the endless suffering of reincarnation, destroy Earth, and usher in a new life. This is the Vulture Plan. This is the mission that I will carry out to the end! Ahhhhhh! "
Li Yao felt that his soul was like a butterfly that had just broken out of its cocoon. A certain brand-new strength was spurting out crazily from the deepest part of his soul, licking every ripple of his soul like boundless fire, trying to reconstruct his soul and reborn him from the ashes!
Li Yao roared soundlessly. His soul was burning furiously, and he could barely contain the surging waves. Crimson flames of spiritual energy were about to appear in the real world.
"What are you doing? Do you want to be discovered by Fuxi?"
The mental devil shrieked ear-splittingly, trying to contain Li Yao's soul waves, but it could not stop Li Yao's raging urges at all. It was so anxious that it cried, "Hold it back. You must hold it back!"
"I know, but it's really unbearable!"
"No. My blood and my sense of justice are surging. I can't hold it any longer. I have to attack, blow up Fuxi's head, and rescue Lu Qingchen!"
"…"
The mental devil was silent for a moment. Perhaps sensing Li Yao's sense of justice that had been inflated to the maximum, it sighed and did not stop him anymore. It simply said, "Fine. If you are really going to attack, you will have to hold back even more!"
Li Yao said in pain, "Huh?"
"Fuxi," the mental devil, the mental mental devil, "the mental devil reminded the mental devil.
"Wait a moment. When Fuxi has swallowed most of Lu Qingchen at the cost of his computational ability, he will be like a boa that has just swallowed an enormous animal. His stomach will be bursting, and he will need a long time to digest and absorb everything. That will be the moment when he is most vulnerable and the best opportunity for us to launch our attack!
"However deeply moved you are by Lu Qingchen, you must not take action recklessly. Otherwise, not only will you fail to save anyone, you will also get yourself involved. Then, everybody will be harmed. Do you understand?"
"… Understood!"
Staring at Lu Qingchen, who would rather die than surrender, Li Yao managed to nod. His soul was like a viper that had been deeply lurking and could fly out at any moment. He gnashed his teeth. "Then, let's wait a little longer. Let's wait a little longer …"
Lu Qingchen's roars swept out together with the tides in his soul, but the tides were soon suppressed by Fuxi's light cluster. Turning a deaf ear to his magnificent words, Fuxi simply said casually, "Not bad. Very inspiring. I wonder, when all the people of the Federation fall into hell, will they say as splendid and magnificent words as you?"
"That's unnecessary. You don't have to threaten me with the people of the Federation. Do you think that I'm a pushover?"
Struggling in the excruciating pain, Lu Qingchen shouted desperately, "If everybody's fate is in your hands, and you can create, arrange, and manipulate them at your will, no matter what kind of comfortable paradise you create for them, it will be a hell in a different form, just like the 'Eternal Brilliance'.
"I firmly believe that any real person of the Federation will not bother to live in such a hell. They will rise to resist you, break the hell, and completely annihilate you!
"In the past, I made a mistake. My mistake was not that I planned and promoted the 'Virtualization Plan', but that I did not trust my compatriots enough. My compatriots who boasted infinite courage and wisdom did not consult and communicate with more people, and they did not ask for the help of most people. In the end, they ended up the same as my grandfather.
"However, when my remaining soul drifted in the depths of the vast sea of stars and replayed everything about the 'Virtualization Plan', and after countless unforgettable self-analyses, I finally realized where the problem was and saw the strength that my compatriots boasted!
"Hehe. If you want to mess with the Xing Yao Federation, just give it a try. Although the Federation is small, it is vastly different from the Imperium and the Holy League. If you are bold enough to extend your claws to the Federation, my compatriots will certainly stop you, just like they stopped me in the past!"
"Interesting. I'm very interested in your high opinion of your compatriots. What kind of heroes among the Cultivators of the Federation are worthy of your trust," Fuxi said.
"For example … 'Vulture Li Yao'? Do you think that he can avenge you and completely annihilate me? "
Lu Qingchen's face was obviously twisted.
After a long time, he finally said unwillingly, "Fine. I am indeed very angry about his shortsightedness, stupidity, hypocrisy, and petty kindness, but … yes! If I can't annihilate you, I believe that he can certainly annihilate you and avenge me for me! "
"Ah …"
Li Yao and the mental devil both sighed with mixed feelings.
It was perhaps the most touching compliment that Li Yao had ever heard.
The compliment from the nemesis was always particularly intoxicating.
Even someone as shameless as him, who regarded his reputation as nothing more than a floating cloud, could not help but feel somewhat embarrassed.
"That explains a lot."
Subtle waves were flashing in Fuxi's light cluster as he said, "I'm confused about that."
Lu Qingchen was slightly dazed. "Confused about what?"
"I don't understand why you think so highly of the Cultivators of the Federation, especially the guy known as' father of the nation and dominator of three Sectors', and why you are so confident that he can certainly defeat me," Fuxi said unhurriedly.
Fuxi said unhurriedly, "Then why has he been acting like a coward from the beginning to the end, crouching in a corner and eavesdropping, not daring to show his face until now?"
"What?" Lu Qingchen exclaimed.
"What?" Li Yao exclaimed.
The mental devil: "What?!"
Two particularly bright spots were condensed on Fuxi's light cluster and darted toward Li Yao's soul, or to be more exact, the surveillance camera that Li Yao's soul had invaded.
Hundreds of surveillance cameras had been deployed on the bridge of Ultimate Salvation, covering every inch of space in all directions. However, Fuxi had been 'staring' at the crystal camera that Li Yao was controlling. It would be too self-deceiving to explain it as a coincidence.
Li Yao felt that he had fallen into an ice cave. His soul was frozen.
Lu Qingchen was dumbfounded, too, not knowing what to do.
"I'm sorry that I didn't tell you about it earlier. However, I was only suspicious in the beginning and could not confirm his existence or lock onto his location. That's why we wasted so much of our time," Fuxi apologized to Lu Qingchen.
Fuxi apologized to Lu Qingchen. "You guessed right. I'm indeed stalling for time, but it's not because of you. You're already at the bottom of the cauldron, and there's no need to stall for time. Even if I need you to surrender wholeheartedly, I'm not in a hurry.
"However, a few days ago, I received two reports of accidents almost at the same time. One of them was the release of the 'Taotie Virus', and the other was the destruction of the 'Devil Child Project' on Black Castle. The latter accident did not match your usual style. I don't think that you were responsible for it.
"Since then, I've been very suspicious that somebody else had snuck into the Holy League and even hacked into our Spiritual Nexus. The guy was as dangerous as you were, and he was vaguely connected to you, as if you were of the same origin.
"When the two conditions overlapped, it was obvious who the guy was.
"And I didn't hesitate to expend a large amount of computational ability. After repeated deductions and rigorous calculations, I even inferred that this person had very likely followed the lead of you, Puppet King, and infiltrated the Ultimate Salvation without anyone noticing. He was hiding beside you and me.
"If you find it hard to believe, you can consider it my 'intuition'.
"Of course, intuition does not count. That was why I did not hesitate to throw out tremendous intelligence, hoping to trigger the disturbance of his soul so that I could lock onto his location.
"But I did not expect that the shocking intelligence such as the Red Tide Army, the black-screen maker, the universe egg, and the universe brain that I threw out could not induce him to reveal the slightest chaotic waves.
"Then, I intentionally threatened you that I would turn the Xing Yao Federation into a living hell. I thought that such an evil plan would certainly force the man of justice who was known as the 'Father of the Federation' to come out. But as it turned out, he simply turned a deaf ear to it and crouched to the end.
"At that time, I was almost desperate. I thought that my 'intuition' was wrong and that I had been too paranoid. He did not sneak into Ultimate Salvation but fled back to the Imperium of True Human Beings. In my deduction, such a possibility was possible, too.
"I was about to give up the scanning and locking onto him, but out of my expectation, when you said 'destroy the universe', his soul finally leaked out feeble waves, allowing me to sense his existence clearly.
"Look. Even though I told him the cause and effect so clearly, he was still unwilling to give up and pretended to be dead all the way instead of showing up voluntarily.
