The capital planet of the Empyreal Terminus Sector!
It used to be the capital of the Star Ocean Imperium and the heart of the civilization of mankind. It was also the place where the Supreme Emperor and the Mad Armageddon, two unparalleled experts of human beings, fought and wounded each other ten thousand years ago!
According to the legends, the battle between the Supreme Emperor and the Mad Armageddon was so gory that the entire capital planet, if not the entire world, was blown apart into countless pieces!
Right now, this weird 'Star Child No.19' claimed that the Imperium of True Human Beings had been established on the ruins of the capital planet a thousand years ago!
This extremely shocking news caused the seven cultivators, including Li Yao, to all suck in a breath of cold air. Their minds went blank.
"Is it lying to me? Is he stalling for time? But is it really necessary to stall for time right now?
Li Yao thought quickly and tried to get away from the weird illusion. However, the star child's soul power was too strong. The illusionary world he created was so vivid that Li Yao could not find any loopholes at all. He even vaguely felt that this was the real world!
Li Yao was very clear that, after the black liquid on his legs swallowed him, his brain would be completely controlled by the star child's will, and he would become the star child's puppet!
He had to find a way to break the illusion!
The premise was that he had to find the loopholes first!
Star Child No.19 seemed to be able to see through his mind. He said casually, "Are you suspecting that I'm lying?
"Trust me. There's no need to lie right now. I'm sincerely trying to communicate with the seven unparalleled experts of the Flying Star Sector and show you the magnificence of the Imperium of True Human Beings.
"If possible, I don't want the Flying Star Sector to be reduced to an ocean of fire. After all, every Cultivator here can become an excellent warrior of the Imperium of True Human Beings and fight for the future of the civilization of mankind. Wouldn't it be a shame if they were killed by each other?
"As for your concern that I'm stalling for time, or that you are trying to stall for time, there's no need to waste your time. This is the world of my brain. Here, our communication is carried out in the form of pure thoughts, no matter how incessant it is. As long as we talk in the real world, only a few seconds will pass.
"99% of my plan has worked out. The glory of the Imperium is about to illuminate the dim world. No one can stop it. There are only two paths before you. You can either submit and merge with it, or be annihilated! "
Circles of ripples suddenly spread out in the space behind Space Cluster No. 19. Like an overwhelming light beam, they displayed a brand-new picture.
It was another space zone where the flames of war were raging. The crystal warships of countless Cultivators and space pirates were engaged in a fierce battle. A lot of corpses and debris were floating in space under the illumination of mystic rays. It reflected an exceptionally bright light.
Li Yao and the six Cultivators were no strangers to the space zone.
This was the Spider Den Space Zone, the nest of space pirates.
At the back of the battlefield, the Starry Gate was particularly eye-catching.
The lighthouse of the universe made of hundreds of Venerable-level star beacons was adjusting its structure under the manipulation of a mysterious force. It had turned from a cube into a rhombus that looked like a crystal.
Starting from the bottom of the 'diamond-shaped crystal', the star beacons were illuminated one after another. The brilliance that they released could not have been more dazzling. It was far beyond everyone's imagination.
Star Child No.19 smiled. "You thought that the 'Grand Illusionary Soldier Project' was the core of the Immortal Cultivators' plan and that the space gate was repaired only to gather all the Grand Illusionary Soldiers and Cultivators in the Spider Den Space Zone. Insignificant magical equipment?
"You couldn't be more wrong.
"Of course, the Grand Illusionary Soldier Project is very important. If it succeeds, I will be able to control the Flying Star Sector decades in advance. Then, I will transform the Flying Star Sector into the Imperium of True Human Beings and transform all the Cultivators into Immortal Cultivators. A lot of soldiers will be provided for the Imperium.
"However, it is not the key of the plan. The real key is the 'space gate' that you have never paid much attention to!
"Ten thousand years ago, Spider Den was one of the most important mining planets of the Star Ocean Imperium. At that time, the Imperium had already built a lot of Venerable-level star beacons here so that the crystal warships and carriers of other Sectors could jump to this place instantly under the guidance of the star beacons.
"However, after ten thousand years, most of the star beacons ran out of spiritual energy and were seriously damaged.
"Right now, the Venerable-level star beacons are shining again.
"Under my precise calculation and arrangement, the resonance of the mystic rays among them will not only illuminate the entire Flying Star Sector but also reach the Empyrean Terminus Space Zone, where the 'star seekers' of the Imperium of True Human Beings will be able to find them.
"Hehehehe. You think that the space gate is meant to guide the army of the Flying Star Sector so that they can jump to the Spider Den Space Zone simultaneously?
"No. Its real purpose is to guide the army of the Imperium of True Human Beings. It is to tell the army of the Imperium of True Human Beings the precise coordinates of the Flying Star Sector!
"With the most precise coordinates, it won't be long before the expedition army of the Imperium arrives in this Sector. You are no match for the Imperium of True Human Beings on your own!
"You have already lost!"
His words instantly froze everyone's hearts and brains.
In space, in Heavenly Saints City, in the Spider Den Space Zone, and in dozens of other space zones of the Flying Star Sector, countless Grand Illusionary Soldiers who had just entered the standby state heard beeping noises again. Gloomy brilliance beamed out of their eyes, and dazzling electric arcs danced around them as they stood up again!
It was the same on Heavenly Phantom. Except for some of the Grand Illusionary Soldiers in the control room of the star brain, which were still under the control of Mo Xuan and the other 'star spirits', most of the Grand Illusionary Soldiers were under the control of the star brain again and marched toward the control room.
The two parties were both Grand Illusionary Soldiers. They were engaged in a fierce battle. However, the Grand Illusionary Soldiers under the control of the star brain far outnumbered those under Mo Xuan's control. It seemed that they would break through the control room in no more than a few minutes.
"What's going on? The enemy's computational ability has improved so much all of a sudden that the virus we implanted has been completely annihilated!"
"I sensed that the enemy's way of thinking has undergone drastic changes. It seems to have its own will!"
"Huh? Isn't it similar to us? "
The five star spirits looked at each other in bewilderment.
"Li Yao and the rest of them must've encountered an unimaginable crisis. The star brain is far more dreadful than we imagined. We are no match for it in terms of computational ability!"
Professor Mo Xuan's voice was filled with indomitable determination. "Now, there is only one way to counterattack and kill them!"
"Professor?"
The other four star spirits were confused.
"The enemy's computational ability is higher than ours, and it controls most of the Spiritual Nexus. Fighting it through the Spiritual Nexus will be suicide. But don't forget that …"
Professor Mo Xuan smiled and said, "Its' body 'is nothing more than a pile of common metals and crystals. Our bodies, on the other hand, are the mustard-level liquid metals passed on from the Star Ocean Imperium. They can absorb other metals and crystals to proliferate automatically!
"We are no match for it in terms of brains, but we are definitely capable of eating it in terms of bodies!"
"Eating it?"
The four star spirits were dazed for a moment. Then, they waved their hands and legs. "Exactly! Exactly! Let's swallow its body, the chips, and the computational rune arrays. Let's see what else it can calculate with!
"Its life form is somewhat similar to ours. Chances are that our abilities will be significantly improved after we eat it!"
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
Liquid metals that looked like mercury leaked out of the gaps of the five artificial bodies and dashed toward the control room of the star brain along the tubes and gaps of the starship!
The five star spirits were very clear that, despite their casual talk, this was destined to be the most dangerous battle they had ever fought since they became star spirits.
Nobody could tell whether they would be able to swallow the enemy, or whether the enemy would completely control them with its enormous computational ability!
However, it was their only choice!
"After we divide the star brain and increase our computational ability to the maximum, we will certainly be able to activate the crystal processor system in the Star Prier's House, lock onto the Tian Yuan Realm, and find our way home!
"Let's go, Cultivators of the Heaven's Origin Sector!"
In the illusions created by the star brain, a splendid new world slowly rose from the flames above the endless flames of war.
"Ten thousand years ago, the final battle between the Supreme Emperor and the Mad Armageddon almost destroyed the entire Empyreal Terminus Sector. But this place was the heart of the civilization of mankind after all. It boasted the most powerful magical equipment, the most advanced training facilities, and the most mysterious techniques.
"Soon after the final battle, countless experts of human beings flooded into the Empyreal Terminus Sector from various directions and survived stubbornly.
"However, human beings were not the only ones who were valuable in the Empyreal Terminus Sector. There were also demons, extraterrestrial devils, and countless other bizarre alien species.
"The final battle between the Supreme Emperor and the Mad Armageddon was too powerful. It was like a torch was lit in a dark forest that was so dark that the hunters lurking in the shadows noticed the presence of their prey!
"Therefore, the battles in the Empyreal Terminus Sector have never stopped in the past ten thousand years!
"The Empyreal Terminus Sector became a world of bloody battles. War, slaughter, and destruction filled every second of the past ten thousand years!
"It was in such a world of bloody battles that the Imperium of True Human Beings was born!"
The illusions behind the star child changed abruptly. They turned into magnificent cities, overwhelming warships, and countless experts soaring into the sky and roaring at the stars!
Under the suppression of the experts, the hideous demons and alien species were all blown into smithereens in miserable screams and turned into a bloody ocean!
"We are brand-new human beings who have evolved in ten thousand years of bloody battles. The Imperium of True Human Beings is the new peak of the civilization of mankind. It is also the only future of the civilization of mankind in the dark forest!"
