"You swallowed Fuxi's chaotic data pieces?"
Li Yao was greatly alarmed.
Fuxi's data pieces were not something that could be swallowed easily.
Although Fuxi's core database had been shattered, and the fundamental logic architecture had collapsed, it did not have independent self-awareness anymore.
However, the remaining data and information were so enormous that some of the data pieces still retained the instincts of ferocious beasts or even viruses.
The instincts of ferocious beasts were to attack and swallow, and the instincts of viruses were to corrupt and spread. Even a drop of such things could be very troublesome.
It was almost like although Lu Qingchen had 'killed' Fuxi and swallowed its' body ', he was still influenced by Fuxi's instincts and gradually turned into a second Fuxi without him knowing it.
Li Yao had tried his best and even sacrificed his life just to prevent Xiaoming and Wenwen from being corrupted by Fuxi's data pieces. Little did he expect that his efforts would be in vain.
Or rather, Xiaoming and Wenwen had returned voluntarily to save him and faced the 'instincts' of the ferocious beasts together with him!
However, the situation right now seemed to be slightly different from what he expected. Although Xiaoming's form had undergone major changes, and the entire core database had been refreshed, he was still himself and did not carry the air of Fuxi that was too intense.
"Yes. Not just me, Wenwen, A Boxing Champion, and even Dad swallowed tremendous chaotic data left by Fuxi and received the opportunity to further upgrade and make new breakthroughs."
Xiaoming said with a smile, "Did you not notice it, Dad?"
"I …"
Naturally, Li Yao sensed the anomaly of his soul. Looking at his hand that was made of thousands of data and information again, he was dazed for a moment before he mumbled, "How long have I slept? What happened during the time?"
"Dad, you slept for forty-two days, seven hours, and twenty-five seconds in total. During the time, a lot of things happened in the entire Pangu universe, including the Imperium, the Holy League, and the Federation, including your family and friends. Don't be hasty. I'll tell you everything one by one, Dad."
Xiaoming explained with a smile, "As you said, 'Fuxi's data' is a very dangerous thing. As a super artificial intelligence that has awakened its self-awareness since the primeval era and has survived and accumulated for hundreds of thousands of years, if any of us are blinded by greed and swallow it whole, even if we can still control ourselves at the time, the only outcome will be that we will be corrupted and corrupted by it as time goes by. Eventually, we will become its claws and even its slaves.
"However, if so many of us divide it among ourselves and swallow part of the 'Fuxi data', there will be a slim chance that we will be able to completely digest it and seize its memories, algorithms, computational ability, and control permissions, but we will not be affected by it.
"In the battle more than a month ago, Lu Qingchen should've completely swallowed Fuxi's database. If my guess is right, such a method of swallowing an elephant like a snake swallowing an elephant would've caused indigestion and even caused a lot of side effects. Eventually, Lu Qingchen would've been transformed into Fuxi's slave.
"However, A Boxing Champion's arrival, especially when he poured the power of magic into his iron fists and punched Lu Qingchen's soul brutally, triggered the incompatibility of Lu Qingchen's data and Fuxi's data in advance. As a result, Lu Qingchen vomited tremendous Fuxi's data. According to our estimation later, Lu Qingchen vomited half to two-thirds of Fuxi's data, which turned out to be a blessing in disguise for the guy. He was able to put down his burdens and fight with 100% control over his soul again. He was also able to suppress the remaining one-third of Fuxi's data and escape in the end.
"As for the two-thirds of Fuxi's data, if it had been carried by you, Dad, you wouldn't have been able to bear it despite your magnificent soul. Even if you were lucky enough to escape, you would've been corrupted and haunted in the days to come. Eventually, you would've had exactly the same way of thinking and even 'belief' as Fuxi. By then, you would've been a completely different Fuxi.
"Thankfully, we came back.
"Me, Wenwen, A Boxing Champion, Dad, and right. There's also the mental devil. The five of us were faced with two-thirds of Fuxi's data pieces together, which meant that each of us swallowed one-tenth of Fuxi's' belief ',' will ', or' way of thinking '. That was why the consequences weren't so severe. At the very least, we were still able to suppress it and try to completely assimilate it."
"That explains a lot."
Li Yao took a long breath in relief.
The battle a month ago had been truly perilous. Had it not been for the multiple coincidences and unexpected factors, chances were that his bones would've been drumming already.
Thankfully, thankfully!
However, when he thought of Lu Qingchen, Li Yao felt that his soul was being constricted again. "Right, where is Lu Qingchen? Where did he run to after swallowing one-third of Fuxi's data and permissions?"
"I don't know."
Xiaoming said, "Lu Qingchen was very smart. He knew that he only controlled one-third of Fuxi's data and permissions. Also, he was heavily wounded by A Boxing Champion when he was just reborn. The hardness of his soul and his computational ability both hit rock bottom. It was not enough for him to control the entire fleet of Fuxi.
"Therefore, he merely took 'Descender', a super Colossus that Fuxi prepared for himself, from 'Ultimate Salvation'. He also controlled the five Supreme Fortresses and escaped through a space jump under the cover of many starships.
"He couldn't have escaped back to the Holy League, because the Holy League had exploited all the resources in every Sector under its control in preparation for the strategic battle. Right now, most of the habitable planets within the territory of the Holy League are on the verge of collapse. As a matter of fact, had it not been for the people of the Holy League who were as indifferent as machines and as docile as sheep, their entire society would've collapsed a long time ago.
"Even if he escaped back to the heartland of the Holy League, he would not be able to get any effective supplies, nor would he be able to gather a second fleet of Fuxi. So, Lu Qingchen simply abandoned the entire Holy League and drifted into the depths of the dark universe with only the five Supreme Fortresses. Nobody knows where he went or what he's going to do next. Theoretically speaking, he shouldn't have been able to raise any trouble."
"Is that so? Doesn't that mean that he has no future? The universe is a vast place, but there are few places with resources. The five Supreme Fortresses are five gold-swallowing behemoths that consume astronomical resources every day. Even though he has the data and permissions of Fuxi, what can he do with the five super fortresses without manpower and resources?"
Li Yao had mixed feelings. He did not know how he should comment on Lu Qingchen and his future.
The space fortresses alone were not going to help.
Without resource planets, habitable planets, or even a base for docking and maintenance, the five space fortresses would only collapse in a very short time. The larger the scale of a space fortress was, the more resources it would consume, and the more complicated the structure of personnel would be, the faster the space fortress would collapse.
Unless Lu Qingchen could find a new path before the collapse of the Five Supreme Battle Fortresses, he would only be struggling at death's door.
Therefore, Xiaoming was right. Lu Qingchen's tail would not grow long enough for him to raise any trouble.
Li Yao only felt that it was a pity that Lu Qingchen chose the darkest, most resolute, and most stubborn path in the end despite all the opportunities that he had.
"Damn it. I'm so charismatic, and I've been persuading him patiently and patiently. Why is Lu Qingchen still unwilling to jump into my arms obediently? Why is it so? It doesn't make sense at all! "
Li Yao was truly baffled.
However, there were too many questions that he had to consider right now. He would rather save Lu Qingchen, who had lost his foundation and turned into a floating duckweed, for later.
"So, you're suggesting that the 'battle to protect the capital' is over, and we have defended the capital in the end, right?"
Li Yao said, "Lu Qingchen only took away the five Supreme Fortresses. What about the rest of the Fuxi fleet? The fleet is the essence of the Holy League that Fuxi gathered after a thousand years of hard work. In the battle against the Imperial Guards of the Imperium in the previous phase, it must've not suffered too much damage. What happened to the fleet and the thousands of people of the Holy League on it? Also, how is the expedition army of the federation doing? The Immortal Cultivators of the Imperium didn't do anything stupid, did they? "
It was what Li Yao was most worried about.
Although he had sworn in front of Lu Qingchen that the little emperor, Li Jialing, would not betray him, Lu Qingchen was right.
Li Jialing was Li Jialing, the reformists were the reformists, and the Imperium of True Human Beings was the Imperium of True Human Beings.
Li Jialing might not be able to control the reformists, and the reformists might not represent the entire Imperium. The Cultivators and the Immortal Cultivators had a thousand years of grudges after all. Just because they could abandon their grudges and fight side by side when faced with a common enemy did not mean that they would not attack each other after the enemy collapsed.
The thoughts of the leadership were one thing, and the stereotypes and conflicts of interests of the bottom level were another. Sometimes, the conflicts between the Cultivators and the Immortal Cultivators at the bottom level would ferment into the apocalyptic flames that would sweep across the entire sea of stars.
If Li Yao drove Lu Qingchen away with his iron fists of justice, only to discover that the Federation and the Imperium were really fighting each other like Lu Qingchen said, it would be very awkward.
"The two questions have the same answer."
