Boom! Crack!
The rainwater that had accumulated in the sky finally rolled down amidst the lightning and thunder. Heaven and earth were suddenly filled with a storm. The land that was still calm a moment ago had turned into a land of water in the blink of an eye.
Li Yao felt that countless lightning bolts were exploding inside his soul, too, as he was enlightened.
Every drop of rainwater before his eyes was gone, replaced by the data that made up each drop of rainwater.
All the data that described the speed, weight, clarity, and curved surface of the rainwater spread out in the ripples of his soul, allowing him to grasp every detail of the "world within a world". He could also change the form of his soul and turn himself into a drop of rainwater that hid in the billions of raindrops.
Jumping out of the three Sectors and the five elements was exactly what he was in right now. Fuxi could never find him without more than 90% of his computational ability.
"That explains a lot. The so-called techniques, whether they are spells, magic, or concepts such as combat energy, are essentially the interference and disturbance of the lives of higher dimensions on the universe of lower dimensions."
Li Yao's understanding blossomed like a translucent lotus. "The lives of higher dimensions are more 'real'. Naturally, they can see through the 'falsehood' of the universe of lower dimensions and master the virtual laws in the universe of lower dimensions to become the deities of the universe of lower dimensions.
"But this doesn't mean that low-dimensional universes can't produce their own intelligent life forms, nor does it mean that these low-dimensional intelligent life forms are fake. It also doesn't mean that these low-dimensional intelligent life forms can't make their counterattack to the higher dimensions!
"Although the virus is simple in structure and small in size, as long as it finds a suitable way of mutation and transmission, it can still kill the intelligent lives that are countless times more advanced than itself. Why can't the viruses from the universe of lower dimensions completely shatter their own laws and defeat the creators and controllers of higher dimensions?
"Is this the true meaning of the 'Vulture Plan'? I seem to have … understood something now."
With a telepathic thought, Li Yao condensed a fuzzy shape of a human in the middle of the dense rain under the dark night sky.
He stared at his' hand 'in a daze. The water droplets that formed his palm gradually turned red. If he wanted to, he could turn the cold raindrops into scorching magma at any time. He could even turn the torrential rain into an extremely hot meteor shower, completely destroying this virtual world.
But of course, he didn't do that.
But under the cover of the storm, he had been exploring and trying new life forms, deepening his understanding of data and information, and trying to retrieve more memories about Earth from the depths of his soul.
He was cultivating, cultivating an unprecedented power, touching upon the laws between the void and reality.
"Fuxi's mind is truly the most suitable training ground for information lives!"
Feeling the fundamental laws of the virtual world, admiring the underlying logic that supported this place, and the thousands of data and information that slowly flowed between his fingers, Li Yao smiled.
Fuxi could not dream, but even if he had such an ability, he probably could not have imagined that such an anomaly as Li Yao would fall from the sky and use his mental center as a place for training in seclusion.
Every second, Li Yao, the virus or the "tumor", grew stronger and stronger than the previous second. He also grasped more power from Earth than the previous second!
"There seems to be the concept of 'Fuxi' on Earth, too. Just like Nuwa, they both originated from Pangu. Is it just a coincidence, or is there a certain connection between the two different Fuxi?"
Li Yao thought quickly and thought of something. "Right. The super artificial intelligence of the Pangu universe got in touch with the Flood Army hundreds of thousands of years ago. Perhaps, it also got in touch with Earth indirectly. Communication was bidirectional. Therefore, the name 'Fuxi' spread out on Earth and in the Pangu universe at the same time.
"As for the truth, as long as Fuxi is completely subdued and the traces left by the Flood Army and the black-curtain maker are found, the truth will be revealed."
As the power from Earth flowed out incessantly, the whole world became clearer and clearer in front of Li Yao. His thoughts touched and pierced the edge of this virtual world more than easily and invaded the new virtual world nearby.
"Let's go!"
Li Yao roared. A gap of absolute darkness immediately opened on the rain curtain. His soul turned into an invisible streak of brightness and wandered among the countless virtual worlds through the gap of darkness! Shua!
Shua! Shua! Shua!
Shua! Shua! Countless virtual worlds blossomed one after another like crystal buds. Streams of data lunged into Li Yao's head like ferocious beasts, allowing him to grasp the basic overview, deduction models, and underlying logic of the virtual worlds immediately.
Like an unpredictable, swift ghost, he traveled among hundreds of different worlds in the blink of an eye.
Fuxi still did not discover him.
There were about a trillion microbes inside the body of an adult healthy person. It was as difficult for Fuxi to search for and locate Li Yao as it was for an ordinary person to search for and locate one of the billions of microbes inside their own body.
However, Li Yao discovered Lu Qingchen.
To be more exact, it was a brand-new 'soul', 'personality', or 'virtual person' that was reconstructed by mixing the soul pieces of Lu Qingchen, Chu Zhixiao, Guan Qixing, Yuan Kou, Yun Haixin, and other people.
Li Yao stared at the world that was full of smoke in front of his eyes in a daze.
It was an iron world that was filled with the stink of sulfur, rust, and blood. As far as his eyes could see, uneven craters, cracks that spurted out venomous fog nonstop, broken tanks, and collapsed skyscrapers were everywhere. Of course, there were also the dark clouds that blocked most of the stellar radiation in the sky forever.
Below the dark clouds, countless trainers were fighting each other in different factions. Li Yao could clearly sense that the data that constituted their bodies had turned into squeaking crimson.
It was a world of war where there was no way out. It was even crueler and more desperate than the paradise on the Land of Sins.
However, deep underground, in the well-equipped military base, there was a group of cultivators armed to the teeth. Their eyes were bloodshot, and they looked excited. Their breathing was rapid as they stared at the enormous man-manufacturing factory in front of them.
Yes. The core of the virtual world was the man-manufacturing factory deeply buried below the ground.
The scale and structure of the man-manufacturing factory were very similar to the one that Li Yao had seen deep inside the Kunlun relic. They were both made of steel beams that pierced into the sky and intersecting tubes. Countless dark red metal capsules were embedded and hanging on the tubes. Inside every metal capsule, one or two embryos were crouching and slowly developing into fetuses and babies.
Everything was controlled by an enormous array of super crystal processors. Li Yao could smell the intense scent of Fuxi from the super crystal processors.
The brand-new virtual person condensed by the souls of Lu Qingchen and the rest of them, on the other hand, was slowly growing inside the metal capsules in the form of a fetus.
The flow of time in the virtual world was different from that in reality.
Everything there was nothing more than the combination and deduction of data. As long as Fuxi was willing to devote tremendous computational ability and had enough support from its crystal brain, the flow of time could be as fast as it wanted.
Therefore, Li Yao soon saw the life of the brand-new virtual person.
He saw that he grew from a tiny embryo into a healthy, strong baby and even grew up in the strengthened nutrition cabin all the way until he was more than ten years old. A lot of memories about weapons and battles were implanted into his head by the way.
He saw that he left the nutrition cabin with his brothers and sisters, joined the training camp, and went through the extremely cruel inhuman training before he was sent to the battlefield again.
He saw that he struggled in one battlefield after another, killing one virtual person after another and narrowly escaping being killed by the virtual person many times.
Occasionally, he would look at the starry sky and consider who he was exactly, where he came from, and where he was going.
But there was no time for him to think in the gaps of the intense battles. He was caught in the storm of bullets again, lingering in the flames and venom, until he was hit by a crystal cannon head-on and blown into pieces.
The virtual person was dead.
But the data that made up his soul, personality, and memories did not disappear. Instead, they were collected by Fuxi and crumpled into the shape of a baby again. He was then sent into a new virtual world and started a new 'reincarnation'.
After every 'reincarnation', he would have a new identity and a brand-new life. The world that he was in, on the other hand, seemed to be a real time point in the history of mankind. Also, he gradually moved back to the primeval era from the modern era. After dozens of 'reincarnations', the features of the souls of Lu Qingchen and the rest of them on the virtual person were already very thin. He looked at the starry sky less and less and considered the question of 'who am I'.
What is the meaning of all this?
Li Yao could vaguely sense the passage of time. He knew that a couple of days had passed in 'reality'.
But in the dozens of reincarnations in the virtual world, thousands of years had passed.
Fuxi had compressed thousands of years of data and presented them in only a couple of days. It must've cost a lot of computational ability and even affected the layout and attack of the 'Fuxi fleet'. What kind of monster had they built?
"I feel that it is some sort of subtle hypnosis," the mental devil said.
The mental devil said, "Ten days ago, although Fuxi reconstructed Lu Qingchen's soul with the souls of the four yakshas, too many of Lu Qingchen's memories and self-awareness were still retained. Having learned a lesson, he naturally did not want to swallow Lu Qingchen directly, nor did he want to instigate Lu Qingchen's resistance.
"Therefore, it threw the soul into the reincarnations again and again. While the soul experienced different lives, it gradually lost itself and forgot its real identity, its destiny, and the difference between 'reality' and 'illusion'.
