Li Yao's face immediately turned weird.
The silver brilliance deep inside his eyes seemed to be alive. Zigzagging silver threads spread out to his eyeballs, eye sockets, and even his entire face. The silver threads dissected his face into almost a hundred interconnected pieces. Every piece was shivering beyond his control, forming an indescribable expression.
It was as if he had been controlled by a certain force for a moment and had fallen into a bottomless dream.
Or maybe, he had just woken up from a long dream and did not reveal his real face until this moment.
The whole process lasted about half a second.
In half a second, every cell inside his body and even every bit of his soul deep inside his brain had been baptized by the silver storm. They were utterly deformed and unpredictable.
Half a second later, "Li Yao" put on a vague smile and waved his hands casually.
BAM!
The only entrance between the command room and the outside world, the heavy gate that was as thick as a vault in a bank, was closed on its own for no good reason. The gears and the bearings were rotating weirdly and locked in earsplitting mechanical noises.
"You —"
The Red Pole Star seemed not to realize that it was not good until this moment. When he turned around, he was faced with the attack of "Li Yao".
When the silver threads deep inside his eyes flowed to his right arm, "Li Yao"'s entire right arm was enshrouded in silver brilliance, as if it had been transformed on the atomic level into liquid metal that could change at will. Condensing into an indestructible sharp blade, it stabbed at the Red Pole Star's spine brutally.
The Red Pole Star was greatly shocked. He did not cast any spells or cast any spells, but a series of broken blood pearls had already appeared in front of him. The blood pearls all exploded into a thick mist of blood, which stained the right arm of "Li Yao" that had turned into a sharp blade. Like ten thousand crimson bugs, they were trying to crawl into "Li Yao's" arm in a hurry, only to be vaporized by the furiously burning silver brilliance.
However, it also bought the Red Pole Star a brief moment of rest. He leaned back in embarrassment and slid almost five meters away against the ground before he finally escaped from "Li Yao's" first attack.
However, before he caught his breath, "Li Yao" launched a second wave of attacks.
"Li Yao's" right arm had completely turned into a silver whip. Countless streaks of silver brilliance surrounded the tiny command room and cut the space in the command room into pieces no larger than a fist, leaving no room for the Red Pole Star to dodge at all.
The Red Pole Star's face was pale, and the weird red star that covered his eyes was so intense that it was almost burning. The silver streaks of brilliance cut wounds that were as tiny as baby lips on his body nonstop, and the blood spurting out of the wounds turned into his weapons, either into clusters of bloody mist, flames of fury that looked like red lotuses, bullets that were as fast as lightning, or even a certain translucent defense module. However, no matter what he did and how he jumped up and down in the narrow space, it was impossible for him to escape from "Li Yao's" silver storm. The bloody mist was swallowed, the red lotuses were extinguished, the bullets were shattered, and the defense module was riddled with holes under the dazzling attacks.
Very soon, Li Yao's right arm had completely disintegrated into thousands of silver threads that covered more than half of the space in the command room like a spider web. The Red Pole Star was forced into a dead end and had to take a gamble. His body expanded abruptly, and scorching and crimson air currents spurted out of his every pore, condensing into the shape of a bloody demon in midair and lunging at "Li Yao".
However, his real body was crawling on all fours on all fours, trying to bypass' Li Yao 'and escape through the door.
The smile on "Li Yao's" lips was even more intense. The five fingers of his right hand turned into five streaks of silver brilliance and pierced into the bloody demon deeply, swallowing all the redness and blood. In the meantime, his left hand, which had been on his back the whole time, suddenly extended as fast as lightning and pierced into the Red Pole Star's chest from the back, piercing through the leader of the Prison Breakers from behind and nailing the leader of the Prison Breakers to the wall.
The short but intense battle came to an abrupt end.
The Red Pole Star bulged his eyes, which were both enshrouded in the surging mist of blood, as if he could not believe what he was seeing and the shocking changes that happened to "Li Yao".
"Ge! Ge! Ge! Ge! "
Weird noises echoed from his throat, and pink bubbles popped out of his nostrils and mouth. It was a sign that his lungs and even his heart had been heavily wounded.
He struggled on the wall and slapped "Li Yao's" arm helplessly, trying to break free, but it was in vain.
Emotionlessly, "Li Yao" stared at the Red Pole Star coldly. More silver threads that looked like spider webs were released from his right hand and pierced into every super computer in the command room. Some of the silver threads even zigzagged on the wall and the ceiling like vipers, crawling toward the Red Pole Star.
The Red Pole Star's eyes were almost falling out of their sockets. He twisted his head and struggled hard, but he could not get rid of "Li Yao"'s control at all. Not only had "Li Yao"'s left arm pierced through his chest, but the silver threads that spread out of the arm had also invaded his internal organs along his veins and nerves, completely entangling the two of them. It was impossible to separate them at all.
Chi! Chi! Chi! Chi!
A few silver threads that looked like worms crawled into the Red Pole Star's brain along his eyes, ears, nostrils, and lips.
"Ahhh!"
"Li Yao" immediately sensed the excruciating and regretful roars from the depths of the Red Pole Star's soul. "Who are you? You are not Li Yao. What are you exactly?"
"As for me …"
"Li Yao" tilted his head and thought for a long time. When the interconnecting silver threads spread out into silver tides that covered all the screens and the super computers and even surged toward the Red Pole Star, he smiled again and sent a complicated message to the depths of the Red Pole Star's soul. "Of course I am Li Yao, but I am far more than Li Yao. You have wandered in my 'thoughts' for such a long time and experienced so many reincarnations, escapes, and infiltrations. Do you still not know what kind of being is standing before you?"
"You — you!"
The Red Pole Star was dumbfounded. Ripples of disbelief and desperation filled the depths of his soul. "You are … the will of Earth!"
"For an existence like me, names are meaningless. In the countless small universes and Sectors, I have countless faces and names. 'Earth's will' is just one of my countless faces that I have presented to you."
"Li Yao" said casually, "You may consider me a ghost that remained after the destruction of an ancient Earth a long time ago, or you may consider me a product of billions of intelligent lives that released powerful brainwaves and resonated with the stellar storm in infinite pain and fury. However, that was just my original form. In the thousands of years that followed, I traveled through the entire universe that could be reached at the speed of light, encountered countless bizarre sights and bizarre civilizations, experienced countless evolutions that you could not imagine, grasped the supreme power in the universe, and even grasped the rules that constituted the three-dimensional universe. To some extent, I surpassed the illusions of the three-dimensional universe and marched toward the reality of the four-dimensional universe. You are very lucky that I have not evolved into a real four-dimensional life yet and am in the process of transforming from a unicellular life to a multicellular life. Therefore, when I projected one ten-thousandth of my strength and will to Earth as Li Yao, I could still manage to communicate with you. If I made further progress on the path to surpass reincarnation and the universe, you and I would not be able to communicate or understand each other at all."
"As it turns out, cough, cough, cough. As it turns out, you found the largest and most important piece of 'Li Yao's soul' a long time ago and corrupted and controlled him in the last reincarnation or the one before that."
Red Pole Star struggled to smile bitterly. "I understand it now. You saw through our plan a long time ago. All the efforts we made for 'Li Yao's rebirth', and you even knew about Daniel Zhang and '40,000 Years of Cultivation' a long time ago. However, you never took action and regarded Daniel Zhang and '40,000 Years of Cultivation' as a fatal trap that we dug for ourselves!
"In order to prevent us from discovering your flaws, you didn't need to do anything at all. You only needed to attach your projection to the largest and most important piece of 'Li Yao's soul' and set certain triggering conditions. Then, you let the ignorant 'University Student Li Yao' touch '40,000 Years of Cultivation' on his own, awaken on his own, and experience a series of hair-raising and absurd adventures. In the end, he and Daniel Zhang would naturally arrive at the Ark Island and in front of me. At the most critical moment, he would become a 'target drug' for a precise strike!
"The Apocalypse Organization's capture of Daniel Zhang was not delayed at all. You deliberately arranged for them to be half a beat slower. From the beginning to the end, you didn't want the hunter to really capture Daniel Zhang. You deliberately wanted the hunter to be defeated by 'University Student Li Yao' so that 'University Student Li Yao' could safely escort Daniel Zhang to the Ark Island. By the way, he would enter my sight and let me discover his uniqueness!
"Hehe. What — what a brilliant tactic. Yes. Even if I could set up the most rigorous screening and examination so that all the people who entered and left the Ark Island would completely reveal their deepest secrets, how could they reveal any flaws if they themselves knew nothing about the 'mission'? 'University Student Li Yao' didn't even know that he was the most fatal 'target drug'. Naturally, his performance was perfect.
