Thinking quickly, Li Yao pondered for a moment and asked, "How did you know the way to find the other half of Fuxi?"
"When I hacked into the database of the other half of Fuxi remotely through the cable, I had already located its specific location," Lu Qingchen said quickly.
"Although the space of the City of Silver has been very chaotic over the past few days, I have been trying to find the way to it. As I expected, I found a pattern. However, the closer I got to its real body, the more ferocious beasts and fully automatic battle puppets there were, and the fiercer the war was. I had run out of supplies and spiritual energy. Naturally, I did not dare barge in, but it was different with you, the best expert of the universe in Pangu!"
"Then —"
Ignoring the mockery in Lu Qingchen's words, Li Yao went on, "Can you guarantee that you will be able to completely control the other half of Fuxi after you find it? You can even control all the spiritual puppets and automatic defense systems in the City of Silver, suppress the ferocious beasts, and restore the stability of the space through it?"
"Of course not, but we have to try anyway. It's better than waiting to be killed," Lu Qingchen said with a smile.
Lu Qingchen said with a smile, "Even if we can't restore order in the City of Silver, we can at least find the mystery of the creator of the black wall in the core database of the other half of Fuxi. If we can crack the mystery of the creator of the black wall and even turn both of us into 'gods,' even if the City of Silver is destroyed and everyone dies, it will be worth it, right?"
"Hehe!"
Li Yao snorted heavily and sneered, "You have finally shown your fox tail. From the beginning to the end, you did not care about Ding Ling Dong and the rest of them at all. You even hoped that everybody would die together with the ferocious beasts. As long as you can 'become a god', you can pay any price. The only reason you tricked me with your fancy words was because you wanted me to help you find the real body of the other half of Fuxi!
"I assume that you must've received a lot of precious and secret information when you hacked into the database of the other half of Fuxi through the cable, didn't you? If you had really found its real body, would you have shared it with me so generously? By then, your soul would've been guided into the real body of the other half of Fuxi and completely melded with the entire City of Silver. Would I have been able to survive then? "
"What a shocking deduction. It's reasonable and convincing."
Lu Qingchen's scheme was exposed by Li Yao, but he was not embarrassed at all. He was still smiling. "So, what is your decision exactly? Are you going to sit here and wait for your death? Or do you want to kill me to vent your anger? In any case, I'm the meat and you're the knife. The choice is in your hands. "
Li Yao was silent for a long time.
The roars of the ferocious beasts around were louder and louder. It seemed that they had been there for too long, and a lot of ferocious beasts had smelled the scent of spiritual energy. A huge beast tide was moving toward them and gathering. Even the ground was rumbling because of the ferocious beasts' stomps.
"Alright, let's go find the other half of Fuxi!"
Li Yao gritted his teeth and made his decision.
Then, he looked around and scanned the corpses of the puppets and ferocious beasts among the ruins.
After a long war that spanned hundreds of thousands of years, debris like mountains of garbage could be seen everywhere between the collapsed skyscrapers. Naturally, there were also various weapons scattered by the giants.
Li Yao soon found the weapon that he was interested in. It was a meteor hammer.
It was more than three meters in diameter, even larger than the head of the Arsonist. But it was hollow inside and embedded with all kinds of attack magical equipment and fuel compartments. It could heat the shell that was full of sharp teeth and barbs to thousands of degrees and unleash intense electric arcs. It also boasted powerful acceleration spurts that could increase the speed of the meteor hammer to more than five times the speed of sound. It was the best weapon to deal with the ferocious beasts with thick skin or pierce through the reaction armor and strengthened ceramic shields to bombard the user inside the spiritual residence.
Li Yao controlled the Arsonist. His iron hands moved as fast as the wind, and he opened the shell of the meteor hammer with the agility of a butcher dissecting a cow. He then modified the interior of the meteor hammer beyond recognition.
Hearing that Li Yao accepted his suggestion, Lu Qingchen was secretly delighted at first.
But when they saw Li Yao's dazzling modifications, they were greatly confused and vaguely had an ominous feeling.
"What are you doing?"
Lu Qingchen asked in surprise. "Why are you modifying a meteor hammer? Are all your magical equipment damaged?"
"Don't be hasty."
Li Yao smiled. "You'll know very soon."
Li Yao finished the modification of the meteor hammer in five minutes.
Then, he straightened his back and walked to the Savior, which only had one arm left. His telepathic thoughts scanned the shell and the joints of the Savior carefully like malicious eyes.
Lu Qingchen was creeped out by Li Yao's scanning. He asked in a shivering voice, "What — What do you want —"
His voice came to an abrupt halt under Li Yao's simple and violent actions.
Dark flames were ignited on the right arm of the Arsonist, which condensed into sharp claws on the fingertips. The claws stabbed into the chest of the Savior that had just been blown into smithereens and stirred among the broken units brutally. In the end, a unit that looked like a crystal brain was dug out from the part of the regular Colossus that should be the spiritual residence.
"This is the mainframe crystal processor of the Savior, isn't it? Your soul should be hiding inside, right?"
Li Yao asked Lu Qingchen.
He was asking when he already knew the answer.
It was because the moment the crystal brain was dug out, Li Yao's vitality field had been boosted to hundreds of times its usual intensity. The bioelectric currents caused by the friction of the cells were condensed into dazzling lightning that crawled into the crystal brain and locked onto Lu Qingchen's soul.
Hiss! Hiss! Hiss!
Lu Qingchen's soul shrieked like a viper that had been skinned. He screamed miserably, "What — what are you doing exactly? 'Savior' has seven mainframe crystal processors in total, which are installed in different parts of the body. That's why it can accommodate such a powerful soul like mine. If I only rely on one mainframe crystal processor, my computational ability and thinking ability will plummet! Also, you have cut off my supply of spiritual energy! Do you want to reach the control center of the City of Silver? Do you want to know the mysteries of the creator of the black wall? "
"Rest assured. I'll connect you to a new energy source very soon."
Li Yao stuffed the mainframe crystal processor that stored Lu Qingchen's soul into the inside of the hammer carelessly and connected the tubes of spiritual energy of the crystal processor to the internal power source of the hammer.
In the process, Lu Qingchen's soul was naturally raging and struggling hard to escape, only to be suppressed by Li Yao's unparalleled soul and vitality field and beaten back time and time again.
"Crack!"
Li Yao closed and locked the shell of the hammer, activating all the rune arrays inside the hammer. "The Savior is too large in size and will be a burden on our way. In order to increase our odds of success, this is the brand-new body that I've carefully prepared for you. How does it feel?"
"You —"
Lu Qingchen's infuriated soul waves spread out from the hammer nonstop. "What is this? What the f * ck is this? A meteor hammer? You actually stuffed me into a meteor hammer! How much spiritual energy can be stored inside? It is not enough to maintain the high-intensity functions of my mainframe crystal processor. Also, such a well-structured hammer is too fragile, isn't it? After I wave it for a while, its shell will completely explode, and my mainframe crystal processor will fly out! "
"Exactly. So, my suggestion is that you'd better let your soul rest more and spend less of your precious computational ability on schemes and schemes. Of course, don't drive the hammer to fly at the cost of what little spiritual energy you have left. Should your spiritual energy run out, you will be rolling on the ground like a ball. It will be very embarrassing."
Li Yao said, "As for whether or not the structure is solid, please rest assured. As one of the best refiners in the Pangu universe, my skills are not good enough. If you don't —"
Hardly had Li Yao concluded his sentence when he suddenly raised the hammer and spun hundreds of times in midair. It was not until the hammer was accelerated to the maximum that he bellowed and smashed at the remains of the 'savior' brutally. It was not a single shooting star but an overwhelming meteor shower that completely smashed the remains of the 'savior' into garbage.
Naturally, Lu Qingchen felt that the world was swirling around him, too. His head was dizzy, and his soul was almost blown apart.
If he still had a body of flesh and blood, he would've vomited his heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys.
"You —"
Sensing that the Savior and the six crystal processors inside had been blown into smithereens, Lu Qingchen felt like crying.
"Alright."
Looking at the 'masterpiece' that he had created in great satisfaction, Li Yao tied the chain of the hammer to his right arm and grabbed 'Lu Qingchen's head' directly in his palm. "Now, transmit all the maps that you have scanned over the past few days and point out the coordinates of the control hub. Then, just stay where you are. I'll plan the best route."
Lu Qingchen did not say anything. He was absolutely silent.
Li Yao sniffed and was about to wave the hammer again.
Lu Qingchen finally surrendered. He unwillingly transmitted tremendous data over and displayed them on the operation menu of the Arsonist.
Li Yao was not scared that Lu Qingchen would take the opportunity to mix a crystal processor virus in the map data and corrupt the mainframe crystal processor of the Arsonist. The intensity of their souls was on par with each other in the first place, and Li Yao was even slightly better. In the meantime, the carrier that stored Lu Qingchen's soul had been seriously weakened by Li Yao. He could only summon one fifth of the strength at most, which was about the same as Li Yao when he was stored in Red Pig.
If Li Yao could not resist Lu Qingchen's corruption under such circumstances, he might as well hang himself. Why would he bother exploring the secrets of the primordial era?
Judging from the map that Lu Qingchen transmitted over, the control hub of the City of Silver was not far away from them.
However, the middle was blocked by a battle zone. A lot of ferocious beasts and battle puppets were occupying the skyscrapers and the broken walls.
