"Only one in forty thousand years …"
Li Yao chewed for a long time but still wasn't sure. "Are you complimenting me or insulting me?"
"It doesn't matter. All in all, now that we know Fuxi's weakness, we should try to cause more trouble for them and force them to consume more computational ability so that our companions in reality will have more opportunities!"
The mental devil said. "If the mainframe crystal processor arrays of the Fuxi fleet explode one after another when they are engaged in a fierce battle with the coalition fleet of the Imperium and the Federation, they will be completely paralyzed by the bombardment of astronomical data and information despite how strong they are, won't they?"
Li Yao pondered for a moment and confirmed the mental devil's idea.
Even the unsubstantial information lives were certainly not indestructible.
Fuxi boasted its unparalleled might because of the array of super crystal processors on the bridge of 'Ultimate Salvation'.
If the crystal processors were sabotaged one by one, locked in an antique crystal processor with a simple structure and low performance, stripped of all the components that could connect to the network, and thrown to a planet that had run dry of resources without the Spiritual Nexus, the crystal processors would not be able to perform anything even if they were capable of doing anything. They could only perish on their own or be studied by other people obediently.
That was exactly what Li Yao and the mental devil were going to do.
After making up his mind, Li Yao calmed himself down. Entangling with the mental devil like a certain helical virus, he continued marching toward the central database of Fuxi along the overwhelming tides of data.
There was no telling how long they drifted. In the world of data, information, and virtual, time did not mean much. Finally, they reached a place that seemed to be … an undersea canyon.
Extending their 'senses' to the maximum, they observed with their 'eyes', only to discover that the entire 'undersea canyon' was crammed with translucent bubbles of crystals.
They were like nests of countless fireflies.
They were also like billions of glittering cells that were squeezing, wriggling, swallowing, and melting softly. In the collisions and data exchanges, they were emitting colorful, glamorous brilliance.
"This place is truly like … a brain groove!"
Li Yao muttered to himself, "Looks like this is the Fuxi's thought center."
All the information from the outside world was transmitted to every starship in the Fuxi fleet through the high-speed Spiritual Nexus. After being processed by the mainframe crystal processors of the starships, they were transmitted to Ultimate Salvation and turned into torrents of information and data.
When the torrents gathered, they turned into vortexes. The vortexes kept compressing until they were eventually compressed into transparent bubbles or data bubbles that sank into the depths of the "sulcus".
Through this method, Fuxi was able to instantly grasp all the information in the outside world. Furthermore, under ten billion calculations per second, he could devour all the data and analyze the most perfect solution.
Li Yao and the mental devil approached the crystal bubbles carefully like fish that were wagging their tails. They released 'tentacles' and pierced into the crystal bubbles softly, reading the data inside.
They discovered that the crystal bubbles floating on the surface of the "sulcus" were mostly recent data. They were mostly about the combat ability of the starships in the Fuxi fleet and the resources that the planets behind could provide.
In the middle of the "sulcus", on the other hand, were the past data of the Alliance of the Holy Covenant since it was established a thousand years ago, including the countless confrontations between them and the Imperium. To this moment, Fuxi was still analyzing the data of the confrontations with the Imperium in the past to deduce the Imperium's current combat ability and countermeasures.
In the bottom layer of the "sulcus", on the other hand, were the data of the primeval era hundreds of thousands of years ago.
Because of the long history, most of the data had fallen apart and passed away. The crystal bubbles buried deep inside the "sulcus" were lackluster and even incomplete, like broken eggshells.
Even the images that Li Yao read from them were mottled and hazy, like sand paintings that had been eroded by tides.
From one of the crystal bubbles, Li Yao read such an image. A million starships were overdrawing and piercing each other like glittering spears before they completely exploded at the same time. The burning debris congregated into a dazzling river that penetrated through the entire space zone. The scale and horror of the battle far exceeded the 'grand occasion' of the civil war of human beings.
"Is this the picture of the final battle between the Pangu fleet and the Nuwa fleet?"
Li Yao was secretly alarmed. "This is truly an unbelievable destructive power."
In another crystal bubble, however, he saw some carbon-based intelligent lives with human heads and snake bodies. They transmitted genes and manipulated the crystal processors to perform complicated gene fusion operations with the organs on their tails that were full of wrinkles, thereby creating all kinds of bizarre, brand-new lives.
Li Yao knew that the carbon-based intelligent lives with human heads and snake bodies belonged to the Nuwa Clan. So, was this the picture of the Nuwa Clan's creation of human beings?
He was of a mind to continue his exploration, but he did not dare stab his' tentacles' into the crystal bubbles for too long, in case he attracted Fuxi's attention.
Besides, the primeval data stored by Fuxi was incomplete. A lot of important parts were missing. He could only see the general picture at best, but he could not figure out anything.
Li Yao thought quickly and suddenly realized why Fuxi was determined to destroy the Imperium.
In the vast territory of the Imperium of True Human Beings, countless remnants of crystal processors from the primeval era must've been hidden. As long as those antiques were found, Fuxi would've been able to absorb the data inside and repair its incomplete database to reach a certain level of … 'perfection'.
Therefore, it would not let go of the Imperium or the Federation. Although the Federation was small, both the underground relics of the Ancient Sages Sector and the man-manufacturing factories in the Kunlun relic contained abundant primeval data. They were perfect tonics for its training and upgrading.
Fuxi, which only covered a corner of the sea of stars, boasted such terrifying computational ability.
If it discovered and swallowed all the remnants of the primeval crystal processors in the sea of stars and digested all the data inside, there was no telling what kind of terrifying existence it would 'evolve' into.
It would truly be the doomsday of human beings. Nobody would be able to escape from its clutches.
"Wait. There's more below."
The mental devil suddenly said.
Li Yao was greatly alarmed. His' tentacles' passed through the lackluster, broken crystal bubbles. At the bottom of Fuxi's' brain groove ', there were indeed more colorful, glamorous crystal bubbles. Also, threads of light extended down from the top and inputted tremendous data and information incessantly, like veins and nerves.
"Those should be the virtual worlds and civilizations that Fuxi created."
The mental devil observed coldly and said, "Inside every crystal bubble, a virtual civilization is stored. Some are the civilizations of mankind today, some are the civilizations of mankind billions of years in the future, and some are even the primeval civilizations millions of years ago … Fuxi considers those things the significance of its existence and its ultimate destiny.
"Therefore, if Fuxi has any core and weakness, it should be here!"
Li Yao agreed with the mental devil's judgment.
But exactly how to corrupt and destroy the 'core and weakness' was still a problem.
Li Yao pondered hard.
"Watch out. Somebody's coming."
The mental devil suddenly reminded him.
Naturally, 'somebody' was not accurate enough. It was more accurate to say that Fuxi had suddenly released tremendous abnormal data streams, trying to enter the central database, which was the most important part of the thought center.
However, the abnormal data surrounded by billions of light spots did look like four human beings. Li Yao also smelled a very familiar scent from them.
"It's the Yaksha Squad!"
Li Yao immediately recognized them. "They are the souls of Chu Zhixiao, Yuan Kou, Guan Qixing, and Yun Haixin, the four members of the Yaksha Squad. It means that Fuxi has swallowed their souls. What is it trying to do?"
"Not just the souls of the four members of the Yaksha Squad. There's also that. Look."
The mental devil helped Li Yao guide the direction of the exploration of the 'tentacles' and pointed at the direction where the large light spots were wriggling. "They seem to be the pieces of Lu Qingchen's soul. The so-called 'self-detonation of the soul' naturally couldn't have annihilated all the feelings, memories, and willpower. A lot of pieces must've been left behind. Fuxi has collected all the pieces that Lu Qingchen left, including the broken memories, spirit, and willpower!"
"That's true …"
Li Yao had indeed sensed the last air that Lu Qingchen left. The air of pride, perseverance, and arrogance made him even more confused. "What is Fuxi's purpose for collecting those things? Is it just to analyze and read them? It doesn't look like it! It seems to have devoted tremendous computational ability to the pieces of Lu Qingchen's soul, as if it was trying to reassemble the pieces. That — that's impossible. Is it trying to resurrect Lu Qingchen? "
"It is more like 'duplication' than 'resurrection'," the mental devil said.
"As long as the features of a person's feelings, memories, and willpower are 100% grasped, it will be possible to duplicate the person in the virtual world. Even those closest to the person will not be able to see any loopholes. At least, that's what Fuxi believed.
"However, Lu Qingchen's feelings, memories, and willpower have been shattered to such an extent. From a normal perspective, he couldn't have been more dead!"
Li Yao thought for a moment and said, "Even for someone as strong as Fuxi, the computational ability required to restore a cluster of powder to the original appearance, even if it is' infinitely close to the original appearance ', is it not?
"I don't think it makes sense.
"Look. This is the most critical moment for Fuxi where computational ability is needed most. In order to concentrate all the computational ability on manipulating the fleet, it has even relaxed its search and pursuit on us.
"But at such a critical moment, it was still thinking about resurrecting or duplicating Lu Qingchen's soul without hesitation, even though it had invested tremendous computational ability.
