Under Ding Lingdang's encouragement, the flames of war flowing out of Li Yao's every pore melted the force of the flood like magma that was roasting a glacier.
"So, that's how it is. Has my wife been admiring me deeply?"
Li Yao clenched his fists and smashed his chest hard. "That's right. I am a man of steel who strides forward bravely. I am definitely not a mediocre man who sighs and regrets the mistakes of the past. If I don't like my current appearance and want to turn back time, what's the difference between me and a scoundrel who messes up the chess pieces after losing a game of chess and refuses to admit defeat?
"A real man never regrets his chess pieces. Hong Chao, you are a scoundrel who refuses to admit defeat, but I am a real man!"
…
BOOM!
From the perspective of the Awakened on the Ark Island, when the silver giant was about to turn into an absolutely precise sphere, a burst of intense flames suddenly burst out from the core. The silver liquid metal was blown everywhere, and clusters of red lotuses and flames jumped out of the broken remains.
Li Yao had broken free from the control of the flood and stood proudly in the sky of the Purgatory of Samsara on Earth again!
"Is this … the legendary 'Combination Stage'?"
Higher in the sky, Ding Ling Dong sensed Li Yao's soaring flames. She discovered that although Li Yao was only wearing scrap metal, his aura was ten times stronger than that of the people who were armed with iron devils. Puffing her cheeks in surprise, she turned around and looked at Lu Qingchen suspiciously. "What's going on? How did you know that I could trigger the infinite potential in the deepest part of his soul and release the most powerful strength by saying that he is' not good enough 'and that I admire him very much?"
"It's very difficult to explain that to President Ding."
Lu Qingchen smiled. "Although your personality is very tough, and some people might say that you are quite a tomboy … Well, don't hit me. I was just saying. All in all, no matter how tough and dominating you pretend to be, you are a woman after all. You will never understand what the men are thinking or how to trigger our fury.
"Speaking of which, Li Yao's fury is too unbelievable, isn't it? Did I hit him where it hurts? Is he really … not good enough?"
Lu Qingchen looked at Li Yao in greater surprise.
At this moment, Li Yao became the center of attention of all the Awakened, all the extraterrestrial visitors, and even Flood.
The 'super Colossi' that the aircraft carrier strike group had just been refined into scraps and stripped away, but the brand-new weapons were attracted by his vitality field and rushing toward him.
They were the debris of billions of extraterrestrial starships that had fallen from the battlefield of the grand universe.
All the debris of the starships were controlled, squeezed, refined, and pieced to Li Yao's side by invisible giant hands, gradually condensing into the framework of a giant that supported the sky. The nerves, bones, and muscles were then added perfunctorily and soon became an inseparable organic whole.
The giant was not hundreds of meters tall or thousands of meters tall, but tens of thousands of meters tall. It was truly able to step on the sun, the moon, and the stars above its head, shocking the entire universe.
The boundless ocean was boiling because of it. The sun, the moon, and the stars were illuminating it in their golden brilliance. Billions of lightning were weaving the most precise armor around it. It was a behemoth that had never appeared in the Reincarnation Prison before. It would certainly be the terminator of countless time cycles.
"This guy …"
Even Li Yao himself was deeply shocked by the overwhelming and violent strength. He looked at the bronze Gigantic Spirit Palm in disbelief. "This is far beyond the limits of a Colossus. From the size to the internal drive mechanism, it is completely different. It is not a Colossus but a 'Transcendent Divine Weapon'!
"What kind of name should I give to the Transcendent Divine Weapon?"
"Wait, honey!"
Ding Ling Dong sensed that Li Yao's soul waves were spreading out nonstop. Greatly shocked, she said, "Just give it a random name. Really. We are in the middle of an emergency. Don't bother about the details."
"Exactly!"
His other partners all exclaimed, too. "It wasn't easy for us to boost our morale to such an extent. Don't do anything stupid!"
"What's the meaning of this? You sound as if the name I give you will definitely be terrible."
Li Yao frowned and mumbled, but he still followed the advice. "Fine. Then, I'll just give you a random name. Let's call you … 'Dream Chaser'! After all, human beings are the wisest of all creatures because we have the absurd, hilarious, naïve, unreachable, hopeless, and even unrealizable dreams! "
"Kacha kacha, kacha kacha!"
Li Yao boosted his soul and activated the Transcendent Divine Weapon? The Dream Chaser released tens of thousands of electric arcs and attracted the debris of countless broken starships to its palm. Then, it dissected the debris into the most fundamental metal dust, before it was refined into a super saber thousands of kilometers long that was surrounded by purple electric arcs and crimson flames.
In a literal sense, this was a saber that could split the sea, or even a planet.
Li Yao raised his saber high and pointed at the silver giant that was expanding and developing into the shape of a monster not far away.
"Do you see it, Flood? This is us, a bunch of humble cockroaches, bacteria, and viruses, or rather, the strength of the proudest human beings!
"It is exactly because the past cannot be reversed that we cherish every second of the present and the future.
"It is exactly because the mistakes we make cannot be completely erased that we treat every wrong or right choice more carefully.
"It is exactly because nobody can live forever that we have to fight to release the most brilliant light of life!
"The me of yesterday created the me of today, and the me of today will create the me of tomorrow. It is exactly because there is no medicine for regret in the world and there is no way back behind us that every one of us has to bear all the regrets, mistakes, regrets, and wounds and use them as medals, armor, and weapons to march forward bravely, break through all the obstacles, and create infinite hope for the future!
"Looking back, in the evolution of the civilizations in the past billions of years, whether it was right, wrong, betrayal, destruction, the Primeval Lords, or the supercivilizations, yes, there were countless regrets, mistakes, and things that 'should' have been changed and erased.
"However, our civilization has already thrown its dice and left the most vivid marks in the sea of stars with clumsy and even wrong strokes. It was exactly the billions of years that shaped the civilization of mankind today. The glorious, great, proud, noble, and unique civilization of mankind today will only destroy the civilization that we all love. Even if a new civilization of mankind emerges in the new timeline, it will not be the one right now, not the one that I am talking about!
"All in all, only cowards always think about solving problems with rebirth. The real experts will only grit their teeth, swallow their blood, lick their wounds, bid farewell to yesterday, and move forward!
"This is what I want to say. The dead are gone, and the ancient souls of the dead should have laid to rest a long time ago. The survivors will bear all their mistakes, regrets, dreams, and hopes. They will cut through the thorns, ride the wind, and break through the waves, and press forward without looking back!
"Don't worry about us. We will defeat you, the Great Purge Agreement, the Tachyon Collapse, Master Singularity, the Ancient Devourers, and everything that stands in our way. Even if we fail and are destroyed one day, it will not be a big deal. Nothing can be immortal. We are not interested in being immortal turtles at all. We only hope that one day in the future, the last drop of blood of the last warrior of the great civilization can be sprinkled on the path of glory that leads to the end of the grand universe!
"Because this is our mission. This is what cultivators are. This is what … humans are!"
Li Yao's every word was like a burning meteor that had been thrown into the depths of the ocean. When he let out the most intense battle cry, the entire ocean and every raindrop in the sky were burning up.
Hong Chao was rendered speechless by his words. The computational ability of billions of stars had been turned into solidified scrap metal.
"Do you have to be so exaggerated?"
Standing under his feet, all the Awakened on the Ark Island, including Daniel Zhang, felt like ants. "The sound and visual effects are too much!"
As if he had heard Daniel Zhang's shout, Li Yao smiled and invited him. "Come on, Mr. Niu. The war is not something that I can fight alone. The fate of all mankind must be decided by all mankind. Fight side by side with me!"
"I — I can do it too?"
Daniel Zhang pointed at his nose, dumbfounded, and stammered, "I — I haven't finished writing 'Forty Thousand Years of Cultivation' yet!"
"It doesn't matter. I won't talk about the specific theories and formulas with you. I'll just tell you the conclusion. Listen carefully."
Li Yao said, "According to the secrets that I excavated from Hong Chao's core after he almost merged with the will of Earth just now, there will be two results of our battle. If we win, then all the 'parallel universes' that have been sealed by it, or at least the 'parallel Earths', will be liberated. In other words, it is possible that countless Earths with subtle differences will suddenly appear in an unbelievable way. In another 'parallel Earth', there might be another Daniel Zhang.
"Remember. You must remember that strong enough emotions, will, and dreams can break the most solid barrier between parallel universes and cause subtle disturbances to the other side. In other words, as long as your obsession is strong enough, that is, as long as you keep thinking about it, all your brain cells will be stimulated, and your love and persistence for 'Forty Thousand Years of Cultivation' will be transmitted. Then, in the countless' parallel Earths', there might be another you living in them who will receive your obsession and finish writing 'Forty Thousand Years of Cultivation' for you!"
"Is that so?"
Daniel Zhang was stunned. "I don't quite understand. Is there such a thing?"
"Of course. The so-called 'parallel universe' is a place where everything is possible. As long as your obsession is strong enough, even your own strength is enough to split the universe and create new possibilities!"
