"Li Yao! Li Yao! "
He heard that somebody was calling him.
But the excruciating pain that was indescribable was like a super heavy mountain hundreds of thousands of meters tall that suppressed him in a bottomless abyss. His cells, his flesh, his mind, and his soul were all locked, ground, burned, shattered, and swallowed.
For an instant, he was unable to recall who exactly he was, where exactly he was, what exactly he was doing, and what exactly he was fighting for. He was even unable to distinguish whether he was alive or dead. If this was the Netherworld, the Netherworld, then such a dark and painful boundless hell was a bit too cruel.
He only knew that he had truly failed this time and did not have the ability to fight back at all. He did not even have the chance to struggle.
Such pain, such desperation, and such a fiasco seemed to have happened once a long, long time ago in a place far, far away. It was … it was …
"Run, Li Yao. You can't defeat it. The Vulture Plan has failed. It has completely failed. Nobody can defeat it. Nobody can destroy 'Earth'. Run. Before it catches up with you, live a few days of freedom and carefreeness. 'Real' days. Run, Li Yao. Run! Run!"
He heard such a voice.
The voice that was full of desperation from the past and the distance was mixed with the voice that was equally painful and desperate from the present and right next to his ears. It was like an unstoppable blade that stabbed his heart brutally and woke him up.
"No …"
He let out the first obscure roar.
"No!"
The second roar was clearer and louder.
"No! No! No! No! No! No! No! No! "
Like an infuriated primitive man, he waved a torch that had just been extinguished by the storm and roared at the vast and deep sky.
"I have come to the Pangu universe from the center of the Multiverse Sea, and I have come here from Earth. I carry the hopes of billions of partners and billions of reincarnations. I have an unfinished mission, and the Vulture Plan is far from over. I will not admit defeat so easily. I will not allow a little monster like you or that monster in the Multiverse Sea to ravage and devour my partners, my compatriots, my family, my home, and my civilization!
"No matter how many mistakes we have made, whether we are righteous or evil, bright or dark, wise or foolish, we are absolutely free. We will decide the path that we will walk on with our own will, even if the path is full of thorns and flames, even if the path leads to a burning abyss, even if thousands of gods and devils arrive from worlds of a higher level above the Multiverse and block our path, nobody can change our determination, our will, and our path — because that is the true meaning of 'life'!
"We are not cells, puppets, or zombies. We are human beings who must explore the truth of themselves and the universe no matter what the cost is!
"I will stop you. Even if I have to die a hundred times, a thousand times, or even ten thousand times, I will not let you complete the teleportation. Never!"
Li Yao's soul was like a glittering, exploding eagle made of marrow crystals. Leaping out of the information turbulence and the abyss of data that Gu Wuxin set up, he flapped his wings and flew high, uttering a deafening roar above his head.
Li Yao regained control of his body and the Colossus again.
Although 50% of the sensor chips of "Solar Apocalypse" had all exploded, the overall frame and the transmission structure were seriously twisted, and the reaction armor was falling apart, the flames, spiritual waves, and twisting force field that it unleashed turned into a visible "domain", filling the dozens of square meters around Li Yao with energy ripples that looked like bright gold and crimson feathers.
Li Yao scanned the surroundings.
The situation of the entire battlefield could only be described as "miserable".
The ocean of foam made of the cells of thousands of ferocious beasts was almost solidified, but hundreds of tentacles suddenly crawled out of the "bottom of the ocean". As if they were alloys that carried super electric currents, they pierced through almost all the Colossi brutally and nailed them to the ground.
Billions of rays of light that were as thin as hair, glittering and resembling nerve bundles, were also darting out of the tentacles. They interweaved and entangled every Colossus as well as every user, trapping everybody including Li Yao in the same network.
Countless nerve bundles soared to the sky and spread all the way to the dome of the primeval relic, before they congregated inside Gu Wuxin's body.
Gu Wuxin's body that seemed to be glazed was glittering with colorful waves of light. Every wave of light was made of countless swirls of information and data. Looking down from the high stance, he did not even bother to look at Li Yao but focused all his attention on the rainbow bridge that was soaring into the sky.
Gu Wuxin flew to the rainbow bridge and opened his arms. Rainbow-Like waves blossomed around his body, too, and he was about to be melted with the entire rainbow bridge.
"I will not let you go. I will drag you down with me even if I have to die!"
Gritting his teeth, Li Yao held back the pain of his broken bones. He opened and closed his fingers, and a skyscraper dozens of floors high immediately burst out cracking noises next to him, turning into billions of broken stones and iron nails that darted toward Gu Wuxin in midair together with Li Yao's fury.
"Huh?"
Gu Wuxin's bald eyebrow slightly frowned, as if he did not expect that such an insignificant "ant" as Li Yao would be capable of fighting back. He sniffed and waved his hands casually. The torrents of broken stones and iron nails that were still in midair immediately hit an invisible wall and rolled back at a speed three times higher. They all hit "Sun Apocalypse", making the Colossus that was riddled with holes in the first place even more broken and almost disintegrated on the spot.
In the meantime, devastating redness was also transmitted from the thousands of nerve bundles that entangled "Sun Apocalypse", transmitting infinite pain into Li Yao's head.
It was almost as if Li Yao had suffered all the pain that all the "experiment subjects" in the Divine Palace had suffered in the past thousands of years at the same time. In only a few seconds, he had gone through thousands of excruciating torments.
However, such extreme pain did not make Li Yao yield. Instead, more and more obvious cracks appeared on the "Earth Gate" deep inside his brain, making him recall more things about "Earth" and "reincarnation". His mind was purer, and his willpower was more tenacious.
"Ahhhhhh. Compared to everything that I suffered on Earth, such pain is nothing at all. It's just — it's just eating ice cream in the cool breeze on a summer afternoon. Ahhhhh. It hurts! It hurts! It hurts! It hurts! It hurts!"
Li Yao roared and screamed, waved his fists, cramped, burst into fury, and pissed his pants.
"Li Yao!"
Right then, Ding Ling Dong's voice echoed next to his ears again.
Even his wife's unyielding, hopeful, and angry face was flashing in his head too.
Li Yao was slightly dazed. He thought that he was hallucinating.
"Li Yao!"
Then, Long Yangjun's voice and face appeared, too.
"Huh?"
Li Yao was rather shocked. "Why are you popping up in my head? It's easy to cause misunderstandings. Retreat! Retreat!"
"Li Yao!"
Boss Bai, Lei Chenghu, Li Jialing, Li Linghai, A Boxing Champion, Yan Liren … The awareness of all his family, friends, comrades, and compatriots hovered and echoed inside his head.
"Dad!"
Even Xiaoming and Wenwen, as two pitiful children, extended their hands to him in his head.
Li Yao understood it.
Whether or not they were willing, the connection of the superbodies had already begun.
Gu Wuxin intended to combine their souls in such a way, read the memories deep inside their brains, gather all the information, and send it to a certain place outside of the Pangu universe.
After all, Gu Wuxin had slept for hundreds of thousands of years in the primeval relics and did not know much about the recent situation in the Pangu universe. It was certainly helpful for the invasion of the superbody civilizations if he could retrieve the latest intelligence from the brains of human beings.
In other words, Li Yao's, Ding Lingdang's, Long Yangjun's, Boss Bai's, and everybody else's brains, minds, and souls were all in a certain "hyperlink" state. They were about to be drowned in the ocean of information and data, completely losing themselves.
Hearing the calls of his family, friends, and children, Li Yao felt that a lightning had struck the sky of his head, leaving a dazzling mark.
"Everybody's mental hyperlink has been established. It is impossible to stop it unless Gu Wuxin is killed!
"Now that it is impossible to stop it, can we seize the last opportunity and give him a taste of his own medicine?
"The power of the mind. The power of the mind is the greatest strength of human beings. If we can concentrate all the power of the mind, will we be able to launch a fatal strike at Gu Wuxin?
"Let me think about it. Right. 'Soul Resonance'. The resonance of the souls from Iron Plateau in the Flying Star Sector can allow a common Refinement Stage Cultivator to break the barrier between the Refinement Stage and the Building Foundation Stage and advance into the 100th level of the Refinement Stage, the 1000th level, the 10,000th level of the Refinement Stage, and the resonance of the qi-trainers' soul!
