Li Yao might not have foreseen that Lu Qingchen would attack him brazenly without any hesitation.
But he did not expect that Lu Qingchen's soul could still move so fast and release such mysterious waves after it was tortured by Fuxi.
Or rather, Lu Qingchen had been holding back when he was savaged by Fuxi and did not appear to be as weak as he appeared.
It was not necessarily because he had discovered Li Yao in advance. It was more like his cunning instincts.
Caught unprepared, Li Yao's soul completely revealed itself. Before he had the time to deal with Lu Qingchen's fleeing soul, he sensed that Fuxi's specks of light that looked like fireflies congregated into an overwhelming claw of light that snatched at him brutally.
Hiu! Hiu! Hiu!
Hiu! Hiu! The claw of light grabbed Li Yao's soul right in the middle. Infinite streams of information flooded into Li Yao's soul like a surging tide.
For Li Yao and Fuxi, when they reached the level of their Cultivation and life form, the competition between them was no longer a simple clash of strength but a bombardment of data or logic bombs to destroy the opponent's belief and fundamental logic.
Fuxi had injected data packages into Li Yao's soul like a ferocious beast in a moment. They were the most sorrowful, painful, and desperate feelings and memories of human beings that he had extracted through the laboratory of humanity.
Li Yao's soul was immediately drowned by countless memory pieces and twisted illusions.
Ten thousand painful memories piled up on his self-awareness like a mountain, almost crushing his soul.
The agony of separation, the agony of losing his home, the agony of falling from the peak of his career, the agony of his body being tormented, the agony of being betrayed by his beloved, the agony of unfulfilled ambitions, the agony of dying before he could succeed, the agony of extreme joy turning into sorrow … Countless sufferings entangled Li Yao's soul like countless boas made of black venom.
For a moment, he completely lost himself, as if he had truly become the master of those memories, and he had gone through countless miserable lives.
He suddenly became a general whose wrong judgment led to the death of a million soldiers.
Suddenly, she became a mother who caused the death of all her children because of her carelessness.
Suddenly, he became a "former tycoon" who started from scratch and worked hard for decades to achieve great wealth, only to lose everything and become a beggar.
Of course, there were also countless prisoners who were thrown into prison for no reason and had to endure all kinds of torture.
Bitter, bitter, desiring the world of mortals, all the living beings were bitter. Countless memory pieces interweaved inside his soul and locked his brain like burning iron chains, with bubbling noises echoing in his head.
Fortunately, Li Yao had the experience of devouring Ou Yezi's memory fragments and had a very strong immunity. Otherwise, it was very likely that he would have sunk into thousands of painful memories, unable to extricate himself and completely lost himself.
However, after countless painful memory fragments were annihilated, his consciousness did not return to the real world. Instead, he came to a space of absolute darkness where his senses were deprived. He could neither see nor hear anything, including the existence of space, the passage of time, breathing, heartbeat, and the tremors of brainwaves. There was nothing.
Li Yao recalled what Fuxi said just now.
He was going to deprive Lu Qingchen of all his senses and keep only his thinking ability when he was fully awake. Then, he was going to lock Lu Qingchen in a world of absolute darkness and silence for ten thousand years!
It was perhaps the most dreadful punishment in the entire universe, far more painful than the painful life in the memory fragments just now. Even Li Yao felt creeped out when he heard it, not to mention that he was in the same situation right now.
Although he knew that it was Fuxi's big data attack and that his soul was not really extracted and suppressed, Li Yao still could not help but feel depressed, suffocated, insignificant, and scared.
In desperation, thoughts that he had never had before were secretly growing in the folds of his soul like a carpet of fungus.
Fuxi's computational ability is so high that everything is under his control. We are walking right into his trap and asking to be killed.
Destiny does exist. Something created the universe and us. Then, it will certainly be able to interfere with and control us. We cannot resist it, we cannot get rid of it, and we cannot be destroyed!
Even if we can get rid of Fuxi's mental attack and return to the real universe, who knows whether or not the so-called 'reality' is' false 'on a different level? Who knows whether or not the 'real universe' is a tiny glass ball that is a toy in the hands of the gods and devils?
Hehe. Cultivation, cultivation. I've been cultivating truth for more than a hundred years, and I don't even know what is' truth 'and what is' false '. How can I cultivate truth?
Meaningless. Everything is meaningless. Perhaps I can only fall into Fuxi's arms and let him take me to find the ultimate answer …
Li Yao! Li Yao!
Right then, Li Yao suddenly heard the mental devil's earsplitting shriek.
As if the deepest part of his soul had been stabbed brutally, Li Yao shuddered hard and woke up.
It was not until then that he realized that he had spent hundreds of years in a trance, but only several seconds had passed in reality.
Fuxi's claw of light had just been retracted. In the flashing light, he seemed to be slightly surprised that Li Yao had regained consciousness so quickly.
That was close!
Li Yao thought quickly and immediately figured out the situation that he had been in just now. He was so shocked that his soul was almost frozen.
Fuxi's data bombardment was too impressive. Just now, it had thrown data that equaled to the computation of a hundred super crystal processors into Li Yao's soul at the same time. It had almost filled every ripple of Li Yao's soul and occupied 99% of Li Yao's computational ability by force. It was even trying to analyze and corrupt Li Yao's belief, making Li Yao's belief collapse logically.
Once Li Yao had deep doubts about his belief, his soul would be like a high tower made of glass that would be crushed by his own weight.
Thankfully, Li Yao had swallowed tremendous memory pieces a long time ago and could tell the difference between 'other people's memories' and 'his own memories'.
Thankfully, Li Yao's soul was from the mysterious Earth, which naturally boasted high anti-interference and anti-corruption abilities.
Thankfully, Li Yao had also split into a second personality called 'mental devil', which equaled to a special copy for his soul. When one of the personalities was puzzled, the other would be able to remind him in time. That was why he was invincible!
With everything coming to this point, Li Yao finally understood what it meant to be 'impossible to stop halfway'.
The battle was much more dangerous than the battle against Blackstar the Great not long ago.
In the final battle against Wuying Qi, even if he failed, he could simply die.
But in the battle against Fuxi, should he fail, it was very possible that he would not even be killed but be captured and modified into a very special test subject, where he would be tortured for ten thousand years.
"Damn it. This is his home field. His computational ability is dozens of times higher than ours. It's definitely not a solution to have a head-on clash of computational ability!"
Li Yao's principle was that he would never fight head-on when he could escape.
But at this moment, Lu Qingchen, who was about to break out from the rear of the starship, was also bounced back by an uncanny force and rolled back to Li Yao's side.
Li Yao thought of something, and his' thoughts' immediately haunted him. "My good nephew, with everything coming to this point, as compatriots and close comrades-in-arms from the Xing Yao Federation, let's not be so estranged. Only by fighting side by side can we hope to kill the monster!"
"Let go of me!"
Lu Qingchen was both shocked and infuriated. He did not expect Li Yao's' thoughts' to be so weird that he could not move at all after it entangled his soul. He shouted in fury, "Who is your 'close comrade-in-arms'? We are obviously mortal enemies. Had it not been for your petty kindness back then, how could I have escaped thousands of kilometers into space as a broken soul and been captured by the monster in the end?"
"That's not right. Our disagreement is not a personal grudge but a competition of beliefs. Our purpose is for the Xing Yao Federation!"
Li Yao said in a hurry, "You've heard what the monster is going to do to the Federation. If you run away now, how can you return to the devastated Federation and see your suffering compatriots?"
"Hehe!"
Lu Qingchen sneered and said desperately, "Can I go back to the Federation?"
"You can. You can!"
Li Yao hurried to assure him. "Although you have made a terrible mistake, the people of the Federation will definitely give you a way out. Really, as long as you are willing to go back with me obediently and accept the trial of justice, I guarantee that I will help you with the tremendous power of the Federation. I don't think you will be sentenced to death immediately. At best, your death sentence will be postponed, and then the postponed execution will be turned into life imprisonment. You will be locked up for a hundred years, and if you make any significant contributions, you will be pardoned. Then, you will be reborn. That is the path that Jin Tuyi walked on later. If the Federation can tolerate one Jin Tuyi, it can certainly tolerate a second one. What do you think? Isn't the proposal very attractive? You can be a second Jin Tuyi, right?"
"…"
Lu Qingchen was rendered speechless, but he struggled even harder. He seemed to be breaking free from Li Yao's entanglement and running to Fuxi's arms.
"You!"
The mental devil was almost driven mad by Li Yao, too. "You are talking about 'suspended execution', 'life imprisonment', and 'a second Jin Tuyi' at this moment? Do you think that Jin Tuyi's ending is very good? Lu Qingchen would've been insane to agree to such conditions and join the Federation's side again! "
"Then … Then, what should I say?"
Li Yao said in a hurry, "Should I lie to Lu Qingchen that he will return to the Federation safe and sound, that he will not be punished at all and that he will have a chance to run for the next Speaker of the Federation and promote the 'Virtualization Plan' openly? Come on, even if I am willing to tell him, he has to be willing to believe me! "
While Li Yao, the mental devil, and Lu Qingchen were in a mess, Fuxi also swallowed the information pieces that he had just ripped from Li Yao's soul. Like a shark that had tasted the sweet blood, every spot of light was glittering. The brilliance congregated into sharp waves that looked like the sharp teeth of a shark.
