"That explains a lot. From the 'Divinity Branching Stage' to the 'Fusion Stage'!"
Li Yao had read 'Forty Thousand Years of Cultivation' before. Naturally, he knew the classification of the four universes of Cultivation. Starting from the Divinity Transformation Stage, it was the highest level to break the limits of human beings. The Divinity Branching Stage and the Fusion Stage were even more mysterious and indescribable. There was no pattern to their training at all.
Li Yao could more or less understand the formidability of the Divinity Branching Stage. An expert could have thousands of clones, and their billions of telepathic thoughts equaled billions of soldiers. One person was equal to the combat ability of an army. Wasn't that strong enough?
However, Li Yao had never been able to understand how strong the Fusion Stage was. If the soul could be split into billions of pieces, wouldn't it be redundant to gather them again?
After hearing Red Pole Star's explanation, he realized that it did make a lot of sense. Countless clones were thrown into the infinite reincarnation of the mortal world and experienced different waves and feelings in different rivers of life. Eventually, they were reunited, and a brand-new Li Yao was born in the intense resonance. How strong would he be when the strength of billions of people was concentrated on him?
"Just like that, countless soul pieces were thrown into the brand-new journey of life and the path of struggle. Some of the pieces accidentally ran into each other, attracted each other, and melted into larger pieces. They gradually recalled some of the things in the past and even realized that their 'previous life' was a Cultivator in the depths of the infinite sea of stars. That was exactly what happened to me," Red Pole Star said.
Red Pole Star said, "But that is far from enough. I was in a confused state in the previous reincarnations. Although I vaguely knew that I had an important mission to carry out a plan named 'Vulture' and break out of the goddamn cage, the critical information about who I was in my previous life, what I experienced exactly, and how I transmigrated from the other side of the sea of stars to Earth was still hidden in the infinite darkness. Therefore, I was far less powerful than I was in this reincarnation, and I am not as strong as I am right now.
"I was one of the luckier examples because I swallowed enough soul pieces in the previous reincarnations and recovered a lot of Li Yao's personality, memories, and thinking patterns. I was able to pursue my past voluntarily.
"Most of the broken soul pieces, however, were scattered in every corner of the Prison of Reincarnation. Some of them even slept forever deep inside somebody's soul. Most of the people who received Li Yao's soul pieces were like Master Zhang Jiashu. Their wings, claws, and teeth, and their fighting will were long gone. For them, it was not a gift of hope but a great disaster.
"Even if I had all the resources of the Ark Foundation, it would still be impossible for me to find all the people who have 'Li Yao's soul pieces'. Besides, doing so would cause too much of a ruckus. The Apocalypse Organization would certainly notice it and intercept it in advance. They might even find the Ark Island through the clue."
Li Yao nodded his head, deep in thought. He glanced at Daniel Zhang and suddenly thought of something. "Therefore, you projected the information streams of 'Forty Thousand Years of Cultivation' so that all the heroes who were contaminated by Li Yao's soul pieces would wake up and come to you on their own!"
"Our way of thinking is indeed very similar. That's what I thought, too. It's a pity that it was not me who did it but somebody else."
Pausing for a moment, Red Pole Star pointed at the sky and said, "Somebody from beyond the sky, or rather, a certain force in the grand universe."
"What?"
Li Yao and Daniel Zhang were both dazed.
"As I said, before this reincarnation, or to be more exact, before I read the novel 'Forty Thousand Years of Cultivation', although I had become the leader of all the prison breakers, I did not awaken the fact that I was' Li Yao, the Cultivator '. So, how could it have been me who guided you to write' Forty Thousand Years of Cultivation '?"
Red Pole Star said, "However, it's not right to say that you made up such an absurd story as' Forty Thousand Years of Cultivation 'with your own inspiration.
"Master Niu, you should know who the so-called 'Observers' are, and you should know that your situation is different from most of the Observers, right? The reason is very simple. There are two types of Observers, namely 'Form I' and 'Form II'."
"'Form I Observers' and 'Form II Observers'?"
Li Yao and Daniel Zhang looked at each other in bewilderment. "What's that supposed to mean?"
"Form I Observers are most of the Observers that we've seen in the past. They have very special abilities. They can see the mottled images of themselves before dozens or even hundreds or thousands of reincarnations. Based on the fragmented, colorful memories, they can create fantastical worlds of all shapes and sizes. It's called 'fantasy', but it's actually history. It's a reality that happened a long time ago," Red Pole Star said.
Red Pole Star said, "Form One Observers are usually the ones who have personally experienced the fantasy world they created. That is something that cannot be erased even after hundreds or thousands of reincarnations. That is why they are able to put a lot of real feelings into their works, making it feel real. Even under the simplest strokes and crude words, there is a deep feeling of emotion hidden underneath.
"And Master Niu, you're the second type, and perhaps the one and only 'Form II Observer'. You're not actively recalling, but passively reflecting. You're like a mirror facing the sun. The fantastical worlds that you create are almost all reflections of information streams from outer space. Do you understand?"
Daniel Zhang was dumbfounded and shook his head hard. "No, I don't."
"Let's put it this way. The Cultivator Li Yao has made a bunch of very good friends in the Cultivation Four Universes. From the previous chapters, it can be seen that no matter what position these friends originally had, after going through so much, they've long been deeply impressed by the Cultivator Li Yao's glorious image, pure personality, noble character, unyielding will, and bloodstained style. If they know that the Cultivator Li Yao is in trouble, do you think they'll leave him in the lurch?"
Red Pole Star asked sternly.
"Uh …"
Li Yao and Daniel Zhang scratched their chins uncertainly. "Maybe, maybe, in any case, they wouldn't leave him in the lurch, would they?"
"That's right. If those friends and family know that the Cultivator Li Yao has been torn into thousands of pieces as a 'blank paper' and infiltrated to Earth, they will certainly try to rescue him, or even fight side by side with him to destroy Earth," Red Pole Star said.
"In order to rescue Li Yao and destroy Earth, the simplest and most effective way is to let Li Yao recover all his memories first, condense a brand-new soul, and be reborn from fire!
"After all, the Cultivator Li Yao is a 'walking natural disaster generator' that brings disasters wherever he goes. As long as the real Li Yao is awakened, chances are that Earth will be destroyed on its own without doing anything.
"Therefore, I estimate that on the level of the grand universe, Li Yao's family and friends, led by Ding Ling Dong, must've developed a brand-new information warfare weapon that can bypass the defense of the will of Earth and be projected to Earth without alarming anyone.
"However, because they do not know the specific location of Li Yao and what state he is in, it is impossible to project the information precisely to the thousands of pieces even if there are thousands of pieces. Therefore, they need a medium, a carrier that can allow most of the soul pieces to perceive the information.
"Then, it must be the work of the novel 'Forty Thousand Years of Cultivation'. They have chosen Master Niu, a Form Two Observer, as the medium to spread the light from the depths of the universe to Earth!"
Red Pole Star's words cast both Li Yao and Daniel Zhang into a long silence.
"Why … Why me?"
Daniel Zhang was dazed for half a minute before he finally came back to himself and stammered.
"That's a good question. I've thought about the answer for a long time, too."
Red Pole Star said, "Why you? In terms of fame, you are unknown and even notorious. In terms of character, you can't withstand half an hour of interrogation by the Apocalypse organization. It is very likely that you will surrender the moment you are caught. In terms of writing, it is needless to say that you are not good at all. Don't hit someone's face when you hit someone, right? There are obviously many more suitable candidates than you — writers who are more famous, more determined, more ethical, and of course better at writing. Why did it have to be you? "
Daniel Zhang: "… Wait. If you have something to say, just say it. It's boring to scold me in such a roundabout way. Did I piss anyone off?"
"No. I'm complimenting you, because on second thought, there is no one more suitable than you!"
Red Pole Star slapped his thigh and said, "In the soul-stirring information war, the most important thing is not to wake up Li Yao but to avoid the detection and scanning of the will of Earth! Think about it. If we fail to wake Li Yao up today, there will be a tomorrow. If we fail this time, there may be a next time. As long as we are not discovered, we will always be able to influence Li Yao slowly.
"However, if we are discovered by the will of Earth, it will be very difficult for us to do the same thing again.
