"That explains a lot."
Deep inside Li Yao's soul, another lightning flashed across the darkness and illuminated his enlightenment. "The so-called 'reincarnation' is to completely 'digest and absorb' a proud and stubborn soul in the deep hypnosis that is both real and illusory?"
Observing Fuxi's game with such insight, Li Yao was able to see through the nature of dozens of reincarnations more clearly.
In the first reincarnation, what appeared to be the scene a thousand years ago when the primeval super crystal processor 'Fuxi' had just been woken up by Blackstar the Great and created tremendous puppets incessantly.
The virtual person that was born by combining the souls of Lu Qingchen, Chu Zhixiao, and the rest of them lived his life as a 'battle puppet', receiving all kinds of stimuli and giving ever-changing feedback.
Countless precious and secret data flowed out of the core of his soul and were further grasped by Fuxi.
In the meantime, Fuxi took the opportunity to inject tremendous data into the core of his soul stealthily.
If too much data was injected into a hypnosis session, it would be too difficult for the target to completely forget that he was Lu Qingchen but convince him that he was Fuxi, and it would be easy for Lu Qingchen to awaken and resist.
However, if the process of 'data injection' and 'deep hypnosis' was divided into dozens of reincarnations and only changed a little bit each time, it was possible that the process would be gradual and unnoticeable. Without raising the slightest resistance, it would be possible for the target to take over the real one.
In the next reincarnation, time jumped to the era of the Star Ocean Imperium ten thousand years ago. The fleet loyal to the Supreme Emperor and the rebels led by the Mad Armageddon had a great battle in space, dyeing every orange and ivory star crimson.
At that point in time, Lu Qingchen reincarnated many times. Sometimes, he was a Cultivator loyal to the Supreme Emperor, and sometimes, he was a rebel loyal to the Mad Armageddon. He fought fiercely in the sea of stars, explored deep inside the crust, and marched from the center of the cosmos to the edge of the cosmos. He experienced countless love, hate, schemes, and betrayals. He was blown into pieces time and time again, and he fell to the ground and cried aloud.
During the process, the multiple lives that he had experienced had subtle connections with 'Fuxi', the super crystal processor from the primeval era.
"Huh. Judging from the scenes, Fuxi had been planning to revive since the civil war of the Star Ocean Imperium ten thousand years ago!"
Li Yao focused his attention on analyzing the central database of Fuxi. Suddenly, he found some very interesting historical files. Thinking quickly, he realized what was going on. Right. Wuying Qi woke up Fuxi not by coincidence but on purpose.
"It's estimated that the Mad Armageddon ten thousand years ago had some sort of relationship with Fuxi. He even received Fuxi's help to get rid of the Supreme Emperor's control and become an independent individual who could compete with the Supreme Emperor!
"Why did Fuxi help Blood God level up to Mad Armageddon? The answer was also very obvious. It was to completely resurrect him!
"However, his scheme did not work out ten thousand years ago. The Supreme Emperor and the Mad Armageddon perished together. Naturally, nobody was able to activate it.
"Therefore, the work was postponed for ten thousand years, until the remaining soul of the Mad Armageddon found Wuying Qi. Through Blackstar the Great, the quest to 'awaken Fuxi' was finally completed!
"How magnificent was the civil war of the Star Ocean Imperium ten thousand years ago? How many secrets were hidden? Where did the so-called 'Supreme Emperor' come from? Where is he right now? Is his' Empyrean Transcendence Sector 'really a mausoleum that is even more ancient than the primeval era? What are the answers to everything?"
Holding back the seething ripples in his soul, Li Yao continued observing and analyzing calmly.
After more than ten reincarnations, Lu Qingchen's soul gradually returned to the primeval era.
In one reincarnation, he became a human warrior who gritted his teeth and persisted in the darkness for decades in the Great Dark Age when the demons savaged the sea of stars.
In another reincarnation, he became a demon ruler who chased the resistance warriors in the sea of stars while waving his saber.
In the collisions of blood and iron, and in the interweaving of schemes and betrayals, he became more and more confused and ignorant. Beyond his control, he leaked more and more secrets deep inside his soul.
When his soul was finally "reincarnated" to the world of ancient Cultivators, he seemed to have been completely lost.
Li Yao watched him go through multiple reincarnations as a refugee, as an official of the court, as a soldier, as a general, as a deity of swords. Sometimes, he was elegant, sometimes he was miserable, sometimes he was indulging in luxury. Whatever his identity was, he barely looked at the sky or remembered the distant past. He used to be Lu Qingchen, the Lu Qingchen who dared to open fire at the gods and devils in the universe!
In countless reincarnations, his soul was like an onion that was peeled off by Fuxi layer by layer, exposing the most important and vulnerable core.
Fuxi also injected countless messy data into it, completely burying and altering the real Lu Qingchen.
In the end, Fuxi's entire central database was deeply inserted into the core of Lu Qingchen's soul in mysterious ways. Tremendous primitive data and core logic flooded in crazily and were about to be melted into an inseparable whole.
The swallowing was about to be completed.
That was the true meaning of reincarnation.
Li Yao looked at Lu Qingchen, who was drifting in the infinite reincarnations without being able to control himself, as if he were looking at his twisted reflection through a dirty pond.
Earth. Countless Earths. Countless reincarnations. An infinite loop of reincarnations!
Shua! Shua! Shua!
Shua! Shua! Shua! Countless brand-new, excruciatingly painful memory pieces surfaced on the surface of his soul, making Li Yao feel that his nonexistent head had become twice as large.
He suddenly felt that he was not as simple as "Li Yao, the earthling".
No. It should be said that he was indeed "Li Yao, the earthling". But the earthling Li Yao had been through countless reincarnations, too. He was not just a common maintenance worker and racer living on modern Earth.
In some of the memory pieces, he saw himself smeared with colorful mud and holding a Dulling Dagger, like a soldier in a jungle.
In some of the memory pieces, just like Lu Qingchen, he returned to a vintage era and became a farmer who worked at sunrise and rested at sunset.
There were also countless different memories, different lives, different feelings, and more or less the same worldview. The messy memory pieces completely shattered his head.
What — what is the meaning of all this? Have I been through countless reincarnations like Lu Qingchen? Even though my reincarnations are much more detailed and complicated, they are essentially the same?
Li Yao did not dare to think further. If the reincarnations before my eyes are the result of Fuxi studying, analyzing, and dissecting Lu Qingchen's soul through hypnosis time and time again, digesting and absorbing him, then what are my reincarnations and the reincarnations of millions of earthlings?
Who was my origin? Who was I at the beginning?
"As for the millions of Earthlings, what kind of existences were they in the beginning?"
No wonder the Vulture Plan had to be implemented.
No wonder Earth had to be destroyed!
"Focus your attention. It is useless to think too much right now!"
Right when Li Yao was caught in the infinite loop of his thoughts and could not get out, the mental devil said solemnly, "This place should be the end of the reincarnation. It is the last world!"
Li Yao was greatly alarmed. He scanned the place with his telepathic thoughts, only to discover that the world that Lu Qingchen's soul was about to enter was made of infinite golden streams of data. Its form and structure were much more delicate than the previous dozens of reincarnations.
It was like a glittering golden apple. Fuxi must've created and maintained it at the cost of his maximum computational ability.
"This virtual world involves the few most critical 'meta logics' in the central database of Fuxi. It should be the origin of Fuxi!"
The mental devil said. "The most critical meta logics, the fundamental architecture, and the initial data of Fuxi, as well as the highest permissions to control it, should be hidden in this virtual world!
"Lu Qingchen's soul has been mostly analyzed and separated. As long as he completes the last reincarnation and is completely digested and absorbed, Fuxi will be completely awakened and become an unstoppable, uncontrollable, and unstoppable being!"
This virtual world was hundreds of thousands of years ago. It was the doomsday of the primeval war, when the Pangu Clan and the Nuwa Clan were about to go extinct.
It was also the age when Fuxi gradually deviated from its original destiny, or rather, when it could interpret and distort its destiny on its own.
"We can't watch Fuxi swallow the souls of Lu Qingchen, Chu Zhixiao, and the rest of them while doing nothing. There's still time. We have to stop it!"
Li Yao said in a hurry.
"Yes, but this is the central world of Fuxi. It will be a hundred times more difficult to stir up trouble here than to fly freely in the hundreds of regular worlds just now. Fuxi will notice anything unusual at all," the mental devil said hesitantly.
"Unless … something happens that further degrades Fuxi's computational ability, making it impossible for him to maintain the 100% perfection and firmness of the central world. Then, there will be a loophole that we can take advantage of."
BOOM!
Hardly had the mental devil concluded its sentence when thunderous tides were suddenly echoing from all directions. Broken ripples were spreading out on the surface of the immaculate golden world before his eyes, too. Many parts of the world were much dimmer than before.
"This is —"
Li Yao was slightly dazed. Then, he was overjoyed. "It's a space jump! Fuxi has devoted most of its computational ability and is performing an overwhelming space jump. It finally couldn't hold it back any longer and launched an attack on the capital! Maybe the reinforcements of the Federation had arrived, or maybe Lei Chenghu and Boss Bai had secured a decisive victory. All in all, Fuxi had to wage a war. It had to be launched!
