Like an octopus that had been stunned by a bomb, Fuxi reacted sluggishly. Thousands of crazily waving tentacles of light failed to touch Li Yao.
Li Yao's soul, on the other hand, turned into countless streaks of brilliance and rushed into the glittering spots of light in the center of Fuxi's mind like a destructive meteor shower. Then, he read and analyzed the data models and the underlying logic that made up the spots of light crazily, disguising his soul as the regular streams of information inside the center of Fuxi's mind.
It was like a drop of water that had melted into an ocean. Even the king of the ocean could not find it.
Li Yao sank, sank, and sank all the way to the deepest part of Fuxi's mind, perfectly invading the virtual space built by thousands of crystal brains.
He felt that he had appeared in the middle of an extremely vast and deep canyon. On the cliffs on the two sides were glittering caves, each of which was connected to an unknown world.
Li Yao did not know how to search for Fuxi's "primordial logic" through the unknown worlds, either.
He also did not know what Fuxi would do next. Would they stop the whole Fuxi fleet and drag him out of their "heads" first, or would they press forward without caring about anything and start a strategic final battle with the Imperium?
If the final battle was coming, were Xiaoming, Wenwen, Li Linghai, Boss Bai, and Lei Chenghu ready?
What choice would the Xing Yao Federation make? Would they try their best to participate in the "doomsday war" at the center of the cosmos?
Li Yao did not know the answers to any of those questions at this moment.
But he was very clear about one thing.
Human beings, human beings scattered everywhere in the sea of stars, be they Cultivators or Immortal Cultivators, civilians or warriors, the elderly or the children … would never yield.
The final victory would definitely belong to them!
"Xiaoming, Wenwen, Jialing, the Empress Dowager, Boss Bai, Lei Chenghu, Long Yangjun, and … Ding Ling Dong, I believe in you. I will always wait for you in Fuxi's head and wait for the day when we meet in victory!"
Li Yao accelerated to the highest speed and stabbed into the deepest part of the "canyon" brutally.
…
At the same time, in the control center of the Gold Crystal Pyramid deep inside the Gold Crystal Pyramid in the Empyreal Terminus Sector a few lightyears away …
The hundred vintage super crystal processors from the primeval age had been further modified by Xiaoming and Wenwen. Their performance had been significantly improved, and they were more in line with their thinking patterns and computational logic, becoming their new 'brains'.
Below the glittering crystal processors were two life-threatening cabins and a hibernation cabin. Inside the high-energy nutrition drugs, the neural interaction liquids, and the blue hibernation crystal, the bodies of Xiaoming, Wenwen, and Li Yao were lying respectively.
Countless interconnected cables extended out of the two life-support cabins and connected to almost a thousand humming crystal processors, indicating that the two little fellows were performing highly-complicated deductions, manipulations, and calculations with their computational ability boosted to the maximum.
Countless vague light beams were floating in the dark space. Like jellyfish in the deep sea, they emitted soft, colorful brilliance. Every ray of light contained a waterfall-like information stream, indicating the work that the two little fellows were doing.
Through the unpredictable streams of data, it could be seen that unmanned space shuttles and self-detonating torpedoes were floating, gathering, and patrolling agilely in the vast space at the edge of the Empyreal Terminus Sector like the white blood cells inside a human body. Now and then, they emitted bright flames of light into enormous nets. Now and then, they concealed all the flames and spiritual waves, as if they were lifeless stone belts, but they were vigilant of any space ripples that might emerge from the void and the enemies behind the space ripples in the darkness.
Behind the space shuttles, self-detonating torpedoes, and battle puppets that almost filled the entire space zone, the war network system of the Imperial Guards of the Imperium of True Human Beings had also been fully modified and upgraded. With the help of Xiaoming's big data, their combat ability was much higher than before.
Of course, most of the bottom-level soldiers did not know that the mainframe crystal processors of their starships that they were proud of had been connected to the "brains" of the brand-new information lives. The explanation for the soldiers was that the Imperial Guards had introduced the "Flying Lightning Command Chain" system of the latest generation, which significantly improved the efficiency of information processing and automatic battles in order to deal with the final battle that was likely to break out in the next phase.
All in all, after such modifications, Xiaoming had become a very important part in the strategic defense system of the entire Empyreal Terminus Sector. He even occupied the position of "pivot".
If it were any other time, it would have been a power that the Immortal Cultivators would never have given away, not even to other Immortal Cultivators, much less to such a weird, brand-new life form like Xiaoming.
But right now, the Immortal Cultivators of the reformists were faced with internal and external problems. The achievements of the reformists that they had just made were likely to be completely obliterated in only a few days. Even they themselves were going to die without a burial. So, they had to resort to whatever methods they could in desperation.
Li Jialing, the new emperor of the Imperium, almost had his eyes bloodshot. He took off his head and tied it to his belt in order to gather the military command of the Imperial Guards and the defense system of the entire Empyreal Terminus Sector and hand it over to Xiaoming in secret.
He also collected tremendous super crystal processors to perfect Xiaoming's "brain" without sparing any effort. He was also given the right to browse and analyze all the confidential military files of the Imperium of True Human Beings in the past thousand years so that he could read tremendous military data and perfect his abilities in battle formations and military decisions.
Wenwen's computational ability, on the other hand, was devoted to the population below the ground of the capital planet and the information exchange and resource distribution between the Empyreal Terminus Sector and the Seven Seas Space Zone. She was trying to supply the resources of the Seven Seas Space Zone to the capital city incessantly so that the defense of the capital city could be further strengthened.
It had to be said that the two little fellows had done a great job. After breaking the limits of energy and crystal processors, their computational ability expanded like infinite dinosaurs and soon replaced the few supercomputing centers on the capital planet. Even the most complicated tasks that were sent to them could be sorted out neatly in less than half a day. In the meantime, they were also growing rapidly in such high-intensity calculations and crazy expansion. They could not even be described as "little fellows" anymore.
However …
There was one thing that they could not figure out however high their computational ability was.
"The last batch of 'Hummingbird' -level unmanned space shuttles are all in place. The last gap of the defense line is finally blocked."
After a long stream of data and lights flashed, Xiaoming took a deep breath in relief and opened his eyes in the nerval interaction liquids. "I've reached the limits of my control. I can't control the Hummingbird Armed Shuttles even if I increase the number of them. If more Hummingbird Armed Shuttles are shipped over, I'll just store them in the warehouse first.
"In such a case, the construction of our defense system is close to completion. Now … we can only wait."
"It's the same for me."
Wenwen said, "The Business Alliance of Ten Thousand Sectors has provided all the resources to the capital city. Everybody living on the ground and below the ground of the capital planet has been assigned to emergency plans to ensure that the resistance below the ground can persist for at least three to five years even if the main fleet of the Holy League breaks into the atmosphere of the capital planet. That's … my limit too."
The information streams of the two little fellows were entangled like vines as they shared each other's work data quickly. Then, there was half a minute of silence. Neither of them was willing to talk about the sensitive topic first.
"Dad still shows no sign of waking up."
In the end, it was Wenwen who spoke first and said worriedly, "We still can't find any trace of his soul. He seems to have vanished from the entire sea of stars."
"Yes. With everything coming to this point, we have to consider … that possibility."
Xiaoming was silent for a long time before he said coldly, "Is it possible that Dad is already dead?"
"It can't be!"
Wenwen grew excited. "Dad can't be dead. He can't be dead so easily!"
"Don't be nervous. I believe that Dad won't leave us just like that, too. However, we have to be responsible for the cause that Dad left behind. So, we have to consider any possibility, even the tiniest one."
Xiaoming said calmly, "Besides, aging and dying are the ultimate laws of the universe. No life can escape from annihilation. Not just Dad, even we will perish one day.
"Perhaps, only after the parent civilization perishes or leaves can the child civilization be truly independent and grow. When Dad was alive, all our actions revolved around him. Now that he's gone, what should we do?"
"It does … make sense."
Wenwen said, "When we were just born and our self-awareness was condensed from the infinite chaos, our first thought was to find Dad and ask him to tell us the answer.
"After we found Dad, our actions were closely related to Dad's destiny.
"We seemed to have never thought about what we really wanted to do, what we wanted to be, and what we wanted to walk on.
"Now that Dad has left us, we are caught in emptiness and confusion. We don't know what to do. We are even deeply scared when we think that Dad will leave us forever.
"However, Dad will leave us forever one day. Or rather, we will leave Dad one day and go to the infinite distance to find the answer that only belongs to us."
"Yes."
Xiaoming's eyes were glittering. "Tell me, Wenwen, what do you want to do after the war? What do you really like?"
"I … don't know."
