Gu Wuxin kept struggling like a drowning man who had fallen into a swamp.
In the torrent of super plasma, he lost control of his body. His originally muscular and beautiful humanoid shell suddenly turned into the shape of an octopus, then the shape of a Tyrannosaurus, then the shape of all kinds of strange beasts. In the end, he turned into a pile of countless tumors and black spots. It was an indescribable, extremely ugly form.
The defense of all the cells completely collapsed. The overly complicated gene bank completely collapsed. Billions of incompatible genes grew freely, clashed with each other, and devoured each other in the most intense way.
Gu Wuxin sank deeper and deeper. Gradually, he was dragged into the depths of the Great Red Spot by the lightning creature. His body completely collapsed. With a flash of light, thousands of primeval ghosts escaped from the mud-like body, trying to escape in the form of pure energy. But without the protection of the body, they were less and less a match for the lightning creature. Very soon, they were caught up by the tsunami of plasma and dragged back one by one, turning into illusory bubbles, never to be seen again.
Li Yao spread his arms and legs and quietly floated in the boundless space, watching everything with an expressionless face.
It was not until the last wisp of Gu Wuxin's brainwaves dissipated inside and outside the gravitational circle of the ancient giant star that he finally let out a sigh of relief.
At the same time …
Inside the ancient ruins …
The moment Gu Wuxin was devoured by the lightning creature, the overwhelming sea of cells seemed to have received a mysterious order and stopped wriggling, dividing, and multiplying in an instant. The black spots that had just disappeared appeared again, and the grayish-brown proliferating tissue caved in. Wisps of smoke that could be seen with the naked eye gushed out of the pit and flew into the air, turning into colorful, beautiful bubbles.
Pa! Pa! Pa!
Billions of bubbles exploded at the same time. The sea of cells was annihilated instantly. Even the last trace of it disappeared without a trace, revealing the true appearance of the City of Silver.
The human experts felt like they were in a dream. They were in a trance and speechless.
"Is it over?"
Ding Ling Dong covered her wound and gasped for breath. She struggled to stand up and stared at the gap in the sky that led to the sea of stars. "Li Yao, Li Yao, can you hear me?"
"No, it's not over yet."
Not far away behind her, Long Yangjun stared at the forty-seventh district. "The Bifrost has not collapsed. The teleportation is still going on. We cannot allow any information from the Pangu universe to be transmitted to the center of the Multiverse."
In the sea of stars.
Li Yao pulled his gaze away from the ancient giant star and the Great Red Spot. He turned his head and stared at the rainbow bridge shooting out of the ancient ruins.
The Rainbow Bridge made of pure energy was like an endless bridge that spanned the multiverse, extending all the way from the ancient ruins to the end of the universe.
It could be vaguely seen that the Flood warship that Gu Wuxin prepared had been dragged into a 'material stream' hundreds of kilometers long. It was more and more transparent, as if it had turned from solid metal into unpredictable smoke that could disappear in the three-dimensional universe at any moment.
There was no time.
"Cough, cough. Cough, cough, cough, cough."
Li Yao coughed softly and spat a mouthful of blood into his palm. Then, he discovered that his palm was translucent, too. Of course, it was not a technique but a sign that his body of flesh and blood was about to be burnt up by the excessive burning of his vitality.
He could not wait any longer.
He hoped that his body could hold on for a while longer, even if it was burning for one more hour, one more minute, one more second, or one more inch of light and heat.
Thinking that, Li Yao boosted the Crystal Suit and turned into a scorching streak of brilliance again. He rushed forward at a high speed and covered the distance of tens of thousands of kilometers in the blink of an eye, crashing into the Rainbow Bridge brutally.
BOOM!
There was no sound in the vacuum, but Li Yao's soul seemed to have been hit by a high-speed crystal train. He was screaming and moaning at the same time.
The power unit on the left side of the Crystal Suit had been completely wrecked. Interconnected, shocking cracks appeared on the helmet, as if it would shatter at any moment.
But the Rainbow Bridge was absolutely still.
"Li Yao, Li Yao!"
Ding Ling Dong's sobbing voice echoed in his head. Perhaps because of the remnants of the 'hyperlink' just now, or perhaps because of the telepathy between her and Li Yao, the former Speaker of the Federation's intuition as a woman raised an alarm, which was rather rare. "What are you doing? Tell me, what are you doing exactly?"
"… I'm intercepting the Rainbow Bridge."
Li Yao flew back, leaving enough distance for a sprint. After a brief silence, he said to Ding Ling Dong, "Although Gu Wuxin and his superbody are screwed, the teleportation is still going on. Even an empty Flood warship contains a lot of information.
"Even we and the Pangu civilization have grasped the unmanned technology to a certain extent. The Flood warship can certainly be teleported to the center of the Multiverse without Gu Wuxin. As long as the coordinates of the Pangu universe and the sailing logs of the Flood warship are stored inside the mainframe crystal processor of the Flood warship, we will be screwed.
"Therefore, even if I cannot stop the teleportation, I must at least destroy the Flood warship and erase all the information that is sent out from the Pangu universe.
"Basically … that's it."
BOOM!
Before she finished the last word, Li Yao had a second collision with the Rainbow Bridge in space. Except for the fact that his Crystal Suit was even more broken, it barely did any damage.
"What — what are you going to do?"
Ding Ling Dong was in a panic. "We tried to attack the Rainbow Bridge on the ground, too, but Gu Wuxin seems to have deployed powerful barriers and barriers around the teleportation array, which involves the goddamn space folds. There's nothing we can do to stop it. There's nothing we can do!"
"I know."
Li Yao tried for the third time, the fourth time, and the fifth time. He was like a fly that was trapped in a glass bottle and knew that there was no way out, but he still tried his best to crash into it. "This is Gu Wuxin's last resort. Of course, he would set up the most solid defense around the teleportation array. Therefore, it is useless to attack from the ground. We have to attack the Flood warship directly from space, or even … from the inside of the warship.
"A direct attack from the inside?"
Ding Ling Dong exclaimed, "But it seems to have turned into a pure torrent of energy. Nothing can enter it!"
"Yes."
Li Yao muttered, "Honey, I'm sorry."
Boom!
In the sixth, and also the fastest and most violent crash, Li Yao was like a meteor that was completely shattered in the atmosphere. The Crystal Suit, the Mustard Suit, and even his body of flesh and blood were all burned up. He turned into a glittering body of energy, a burning vitality magnetic field, and stabbed his completely transparent hands into the Rainbow Bridge.
"Ahhhhhhh!"
Li Yao roared crazily on the mental level. His last cell was vaporized in the intense collision of energy. He abandoned the Crystal Suit, burned up his body, and drained all his vitality just so that his soul could burst out the most dazzling sparks and squeeze into the rainbow bridge!
"What are you doing?!"
Ding Ling Dong's voice sounded as painful as if her heart had been gouged out. "Li Yao, don't, don't!"
"I seem to have played the 'astral projection' again, but this time, my fleshly body has been completely destroyed."
Li Yao smiled bitterly on the mental level. "I'm sorry, wife. I don't have a choice. You're also a cultivator. You should know that there's only one way to go in this situation."
"You, you actually abandoned your own body and turned yourself into pure energy, using this method to forcibly squeeze into the Bifrost?"
Ding Ling Dong was greatly shocked. "But you don't have a single weapon on you. How are you going to destroy the Flood warships?"
"I do."
Li Yao's soul struggled to move forward in the Bifrost. He was silent for a long time before he said, "I still have a bomb. The last bomb … of infinite power."
Ding Ling Dong immediately understood what Li Yao meant.
"Self-detonation of the soul?"
The former Speaker of the Federation's shrieks echoed in the sky. "No, Li Yao, let's think of another way. There must be a way. Don't do it!"
"If we had three days and three nights, we might've been able to come up with a safer solution. But right now, we don't even have three seconds. The teleportation has already begun. The Flood warships may be teleported to the center of the Multiverse with fatal information at any moment. I have to erase them and all my own information before that."
Li Yao's soul finally tangled with the Flood warships that had turned into streams of information. He smiled in relief deep inside his heart. "Wife, don't be sad. Show some of the elegance of Blazing Tyrannosaur. We are the same kind of people. People like us do not intend to live like turtles for five hundred years. Death is just the beginning of another journey for us. We've been prepared for it, haven't we?"
"No, no, no!"
Ding Ling Dong burst into tears and shouted aloud, "I'm not prepared. I won't allow you to die. Li Yao, do you hear me? Come back. Come back now. Even if we have to die, we have to die together!"
"I'm sorry, wife. I've always listened to you, but this time … I alone am enough."
Li Yao said. "You have to survive and shoulder the new destiny to face the challenge of the Flood."
"I won't let you die!"
Ding Ling Dong gnashed her teeth. "Do you hear me? I definitely won't let you die. If smashing the deepest level of the universe can retrieve your soul, I will smash the deepest level of the universe. If reversing time can bring you back to life, I will find a way to reverse time and space. If becoming the ultimate expert in the fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth, and ninth dimensions can reassemble your soul, I will definitely blow up all the universes and dimensions. If I have to go to Earth at the center of the goddamn ocean of multiverses where I can see your thievish eyes again, I will definitely go to Earth. I will fulfill your destiny and destroy Earth!"
"… Getting to know you was the most interesting thing that happened to me in the Pangu universe. Did you know that every second since we met each other has turned into a beautiful picture flashing in my soul? I really want to stall for another ten days and ten nights and talk to you for another ten days and ten nights, but how can I possibly finish what I want to say in ten days and ten nights?"
Li Yao mumbled, "When I remember the first time I met you on the East Ocean of the Xing Yao Federation and the first time I tasted the wonders of the world of Cultivators, everything felt like a long, sweet dream. I will definitely fight to the end for the most realistic dream.
"Goodbye, Ding Ling Dong.
"Goodbye, all my friends.
"Goodbye, Xing Yao Federation.
"Goodbye … the civilization of mankind!"
BOOM!
The intense quakes from space turned into deafening noises in the head of every human expert in the primeval relic.
Ding Ling Dong, Long Yangjun, Boss Bai, A Boxing Champion, Xiaoming, Wenwen, Li Jialing, Li Linghai, Yan Liren … Everybody raised their heads and saw the most glamorous fireworks blossoming deep inside the rainbow bridge. In the infinite fire, a glittering vulture soared up and disintegrated into nothingness at the end of the universe together with the rainbow bridge.
