On the other side of the sea of stars, deep inside the darkness, in the glorious ocean made of thousands of starships, inside the mental space of "Fuxi" …
"I wonder how Ding Ling Dong is doing. Has the Federation learned the latest intelligence about my disappearance and the complicated situation at the center of the cosmos and made … the right choice?"
Li Yao thought to himself, "Also, how is Lei Chenghu and Boss Bai's coalition fleet going? Can the two disobedient commanders fight side by side without any grudges and annihilate the remnants of the four Kurfürst families?
"The capital. What about the capital?
"Although Xiaoming and Wenwen's computational ability is much higher than that of ordinary human beings and even Cultivators, they do not have much experience in such a large-scale strategic battle after all. Compared to 'Fuxi', which has existed for hundreds of thousands of years, they are still children!
"When will the Fuxi fleet jump to the Empyreal Terminus Sector? The commanding methods of the two parties are similar, but will 'Fuxi' take the opportunity to hack Xiaoming and Wenwen's Spiritual Nexus and even swallow the two little fellows? "
Li Yao almost had ten thousand questions that were bubbling inside his head.
Thinking in silence for a long time, he still could not find an answer. He could only smile bitterly. Right now, he could barely protect himself and did not know if or not he could escape from the dragnet of "Fuxi". How could he have the extra time to care about the people of the Imperium and the Federation?
He could only believe that those people would not disappoint him and would certainly show up in time.
But until then, he had to figure out a way to survive in such a harsh environment and cause as much damage as possible.
Calming himself down, Li Yao spread out his "telepathic touch" and scanned the environment again.
In the past few days, with the help of the serious interferences caused by Lu Qingchen's self-detonation, Li Yao's soul had marched forward and invaded the periphery of the central database of "Fuxi".
However, having survived for hundreds of thousands of years in the sea of stars from the primeval age to modern times, "Fuxi" was certainly not an ordinary person.
In its entire mental network, its fundamental architecture, and its central database, data traps and logic bombs were everywhere. All kinds of laws and programs to eliminate viruses were patrolling like hounds and sharks, searching for all the intrusions of abnormal data warily.
Li Yao had no choice but to be careful, step by step, infiltrate layer by layer, and spend a lot of time before he reached the deepest part of Fuxi's "thoughts".
At first glance, this place looked like a boundless universe or a bottomless ocean. In the perception of human beings, the sea of stars and the ocean were two very similar environments in the first place.
Near and far, countless spots and ripples were glittering. They looked like burning celestial bodies in the universe, or the bizarre and hideous creatures in the depths of the ocean, such as poisonous jellyfish and devil fish.
Li Yao knew that these were the "guards" that protected Fuxi's core database. In terms of the human body, they were the white blood cells. In terms of the concept from Li Yao's memories on Earth, they were the "anti-virus program".
With Li Yao's unique life form and the mental devil's ability to mutate viruses, he was not scared that a single "anti-virus program" would come after him.
As a matter of fact, if such an anti-virus program with a simple structure came after him and intended to swallow Li Yao, it would be very easy for Li Yao to swallow them and analyze their structure.
Then, Li Yao and the mental devil would be able to disguise themselves as "antivirus programs" and continue marching toward the depths of the Fuxi's "thoughts".
It was a trick that Li Yao had performed repeatedly in the past few days. With such techniques, he was diving deeper and deeper, and he was about to touch the core of Fuxi's mind, which was equivalent to the center of the brain of a human being.
Of course, Fuxi was not stupid enough to be fooled by Li Yao time and time again. It soon realized Li Yao's trick and adjusted the structure and attack methods of the "anti-virus program" to calculate the latest form of the anti-virus program in real time. It also added a series of unknown numbers in the secret places that changed randomly almost every second, making it difficult for Li Yao to simulate 100% consistency.
When an "anti-virus program" discovered abnormal data, the other "anti-virus programs" nearby would immediately change into a certain form that even the mental devil could not analyze quickly.
Such a defense method was rather tricky for Li Yao. Therefore, he was unwilling to approach the data traps, logic bombs, white blood cells, and anti-virus programs outside of Fuxi's core database. He simply went with the flow and moved forward unhurriedly along with the tide of data that Fuxi swallowed billions of times per second.
At the very least, he was safe for now since he had snuck in.
It was like a flea that carried all kinds of viruses. When it crawled on the most sensitive skin of a human being, it could easily be slapped to death or pinched to death with two fingers.
However, if the flea had crawled into the flesh through the wound, or if the virus on the flea had invaded the brain from the internal organs, it would be very difficult for the virus to be detected and killed because neither the internal organs nor the brain could perceive it.
Of course, most viruses were not as harmful to the human body as one would expect. 'Flu', the most common virus, could be easily cured without any medication. If Li Yao wanted to turn the tiny virus into a bullet of fury and crush the behemoth that was the Fuxi Empire, he would have to further understand the structure and weaknesses of the Fuxi Empire and mutate his virus into a fatal virus that specifically targeted the Fuxi Empire.
"Are you sure that Fuxi's search and tracking on us has been greatly weakened, and that we can release 'telepathic touch' to scan the data environment around blatantly?"
Li Yao asked the mental devil in a low voice. "By logic, it is impossible for Fuxi to tolerate such a 'virus' as us stirring up trouble in their central database, right?"
"By logic, it is absolutely intolerable. But I'm afraid that Fuxi does not have the computational ability to care about us right now," the mental devil said.
"Lu Qingchen's self-detonation of his soul was aimed at Fuxi's core crystal processor arrays. The damage was definitely not a joke. I estimate that Fuxi would've been heavily wounded however sturdy their defense was, and their computational ability would've plummeted.
"Right now, it is a critical moment for them to manipulate the army and launch a strategic final battle against the Imperium of True Human Beings. There is no way that they can delay for half a second or spare their attention on us. They will certainly devote 100%, or at least 90%, of their computational ability to the assembly of warships and the space jump.
"In a space jump, the slightest mistake can lead to a huge error. Even if their computational ability is reduced by one or two percent, it is possible that dozens of main-force warships will be lost in the four-dimensional storm and crushed in the tides of space ripples. If you were Fuxi, would you bear such a loss?"
"If I were Fuxi —"
Li Yao blurted out without thinking. "I would rather postpone the date of the strategic battle for ten days to half a month so that I can concentrate all my computational ability and perform a 'comprehensive purge' on my head first so that all the flies, fleas, and mice will be eliminated. Huh. Am I not implying that I am a fly, flea, and mouse in a roundabout way? All in all, you know what I mean now! "
"The theory is correct, but it is very difficult to achieve it in reality. The key is time, and Fuxi is running out of time."
The mental devil analyzed, "First of all, although the 'space battle' that Fuxi demonstrated to Lu Qingchen was fake and only simulated with big data, the Fuxi fleet has indeed jumped to the vicinity of the capital planet in the Empyreal Terminus Sector. You and I have experienced the feeling of a space jump in the four-dimensional space in person. However impressive Fuxi's computational ability is, it is impossible for them to simulate the four-dimensional space. That would've been too terrifying.
"Therefore, the Fuxi fleet is indeed in the dark space zone near the Empyreal Terminus Sector, which is equivalent to a 'desert'.
"In such a lifeless, dark space zone, there is no spiritual energy, no resources, not even the slightest stellar radiation. All the resources are dependent on the input of the outside world. Not just every day, the consumption per second is astronomical. With the limited resources of the Holy League right now, how long can it last?
"Besides, this place is near the headquarters of the Imperium after all. Who can guarantee that the Imperium will not launch some scout starships or things like 'star children' in this direction? The longer they lurk, the higher the risk of being discovered. Once they are discovered, the advantage of the surprise attack will be gone.
"Thirdly, and most importantly of all, the Fuxi fleet was bold enough to stab into the heart of the Imperium when the reinforcements hadn't arrived yet because of the civil war in the Imperium.
"With each passing day, the coalition army of Lei Chenghu and Boss Bai will be more likely to defeat the remnants of the four Kurfürst families and return to the capital to consolidate the defense line in the capital. The reinforcements of the Xing Yao Federation may show up in the capital at any moment, too. Once Lei Chenghu, Boss Bai's fleet, and the reinforcements of the Federation are gathered in the capital, the battle for the Fuxi will be very difficult.
"Therefore, although the Fuxi knows that we will raise trouble in their central database, they can only swallow their anger and leave us aside until they take care of the capital first.
"Speed, speed, for the Fuxi right now, speed is everything!
"Besides, we, well, your performance when you were faced with the Fuxi must've greatly confused the Fuxi, making them think that you are just a plain, insignificant, common guy that they don't need to pay much attention to. What if you were even disintegrated and 'digested' under such immense pressure?"
"Seriously?"
Li Yao was dissatisfied. "Am I so mediocre? Lu Qingchen reminded the Fuxi to pay attention to me. The Fuxi is not an idiot! "
"The Fuxi is not an idiot, but it is definitely not a smart man either. Or rather, it is not a 'man' at all!"
