"The countdown to the activation of the space jump array on Ice King begins now!"
Inside the control center, hundreds of the best starship specialists and astronomers of the Flying Star Sector held their breath. The air was so intense that sparks were almost bursting out. Si Koulie, the leader of the Star Fighters' Alliance, was solemn. Flames of spiritual energy were dancing on his fingertips as he inputted a stream of spiritual energy into the activation rune array in person.
Hum!
For a moment, something seemed to have exploded deep inside the core of Ice King, causing the earth to shake feebly. An unparalleled strength seemed to be surging up from the core crazily!
"Ten! Nine! Eight! "
In the last ten seconds, the countdown began. The Flying Star Sector fell into silence. Everybody held their breath, fixed their eyes, and gritted their teeth, counting down silently in their hearts.
Deep inside the two giant ravines hundreds of kilometers long, one vertical and the other horizontal, the blue brilliance was rising like tides. Soon, it rushed out of the horizon and soared into the sea of stars like a high tower!
"Seven! Six! Five! "
The power rune arrays at the tails of the thirteen crystal warships at the bottom of the 'high tower' were glittering one after another. The bodies of the crystal warships turned transparent, as if thousands of overlapping runes were rushing out.
"Four! Three! Two! "
Ice King did not have an atmosphere. Naturally, there was no blue sky. The high tower of mystic light extended to the infinite stars and shot to the end of the universe.
It was no longer a high tower but a highway and a bridge that spanned two worlds!
"One!"
"Zero!"
"Launch!"
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
The exhaust flames spurted out by the thirteen starships were blown dozens of kilometers away along the two ravines. The intense tides of energy thawed the frozen ground within ten square kilometers. The ice was vaporized before it turned into liquid, turning into a cluster of glamorous deep blue crystals that constituted a splendid mist.
Inside the blue mist, the thirteen starships rushed out like arrows that had just been shot. They rushed along the universal bridge formed by the space jump array and got rid of the gravity of Ice King in only three seconds. Their speed was accelerated to the maximum!
Right now, only the large crystal cameras floating near the predetermined orbit could capture the blurred shadows of the thirteen starships.
At the end of the Cosmic Bridge, icy-blue mystic light spread in all directions. It formed an incomparably beautiful nebula, as if it had a life of its own. It expanded and contracted, incomparably mysterious.
The thirteen starships pressed forward with an unstoppable momentum. He plunged into the nebula!
In the nebula, electric arcs flashed and sparks shot out in all directions. After a while, the entire nebula suddenly shrank to only a blue light spot. Then, with a loud bang, it exploded into billions of blue light beams that bloomed in all directions, like an unprecedented firework.
The flames were extinguished, and the thirteen starships and the Bridge of the Universe disappeared, drawing the exclamations of countless spectators.
Thirteen starships. He had already passed through the Bridge of the Universe and was heading towards the New World!
The battle in the Flying Star Sector had come to an end, and a new battle was waiting for them ahead.
…
Inside Firefly …
Li Yao sat cross-legged and stabilized himself under the restraint of the gravity rune array. He gritted his teeth and endured the side effect of breaking the void.
Once again, he entered the four-dimensional space and experienced the phenomena that were impossible to perceive in the three-dimensional world.
He 'saw' that his entire body had turned transparent. Not only could he see his internal organs and veins through 'inner vision', but he could also see his veins and veins. He could even unfold and flatten all the veins and veins with a telepathic thought and study the orientation of every vein and vein carefully.
Even his brain could be unfolded in a very flat way. The brain cells dangled like a bunch of crystal grapes, waiting for him to taste them.
Time seemed to be under his control in this place, but it also seemed to have lost its meaning. The fragments of his life overlapped like a stack of cards. They could be sorted in any order.
Train. Train. Don't forget to train!
Li Yao took a deep breath, or rather, he felt that he had taken a deep breath, and forced himself into the state of training.
In the four-dimensional space, he could clearly see that a new organ the size of an egg had expanded at the end of his spine. It was gray in color and divided into two halves. There were ridges and bumps all over it, making it look like a small brain.
Li Yao knew that it was the second new organ that the Cultivators evolved after the 'spiritual root' — the 'second brain'!
The first brain mainly controlled the fleshly body, including every activity of the cells and the nerve endings.
The second brain, on the other hand, was dedicated to controlling the unpredictable spiritual energy so that the Cultivators could absorb and utilize the spiritual energy faster and more efficiently.
To be more exact, the second brain was a 'virtualized' and 'spiritual' brain. It was a transitional organ that was born when human beings completely got rid of the fleshly body and marched into the form of energy.
Li Yao's second brain extended almost a thousand golden spiritual threads that were as thin as hair and condensed into a glittering gold ball inside his abdomen.
It was Jin Dan. To be more exact, it was an amalgamation of his subconscious and his spiritual energy.
The second brain and Jin Dan, one of them a real entity, the other an energy. They complemented each other and were indispensable.
Li Yao controlled the second brain carefully and extended more golden threads into Jin Dan.
Jin Dan began to revolve quickly. The mist-like brilliance around it was even more dazzling. While it was shivering slightly, it was playing soul-stirring music.
Faster. Faster. My Jin Dan can still revolve faster. If it can reach a hundred thousand revolutions per second, chances are that I will be able to enter a new level!
A hundred thousand revolutions per second. I must reach it!
Li Yao was fascinated. That was the only thought left in his head. He urged Jin Dan to revolve faster and faster without caring about anything else!
Gradually, his Jin Dan seemed to have turned into a tiny bud that was about to blossom while it was revolving at a high speed.
Li Yao was completely obsessed with it. He controlled his every vein and every nerve and poured all the spiritual energy in his body into his core without leaving anything behind.
Jin Dan was everything. He had completely lost the concept of time. After an unknown amount of time, Jin Dan moved slightly, and the 'petals' around it blossomed one after another.
Li Yao was overjoyed. His soul submerged into his body beyond his control and flew to Jin Dan.
Right then, an abrupt change took place!
His soul shook violently. In his trance, his core suddenly turned from a budding flower into a weird cocoon. After a crack, the cocoon exploded. A streak of bloody light darted out and enshrouded his soul, swallowing it completely!
"Ahhh!"
Li Yao screamed and opened his eyes abruptly, only to discover that he was still sitting at the center of the training room.
Other than cold sweat, there was nothing wrong with him.
"It can't be another nightmare, can it?"
Li Yao mumbled to himself. He raised his head and was immediately dazed.
He saw a guy sitting on his opposite side, deep in thought with furrowed eyebrows.
He was the only one on Firefly, and they were in the middle of a voyage in the fourth dimension. It was impossible for a second person to board the ship.
And the person was indeed none other than himself!
"Don't you find one thing strange?"
The guy who looked exactly the same as him raised his eyebrow and said, "What do you think is the uncanny dream that we've had since we were little? In the dream, we came from a weird place named 'Earth'. Do you think there is really such a place as' Earth '? "
"What?"
Li Yao's head was in a mess. He could barely think straight.
Another voice came from behind him. Li Yao turned around, only to discover that it was his other self, who was calculating quickly in front of the desk. While calculating, he said solemnly, "In the past, we always believed that a planet named 'Earth' did exist somewhere beyond the three thousand Sectors and that we lived on Earth in our previous lives. We were killed in a car accident, but one of our souls crossed the sea of stars and wandered to the planet of the Heaven's Origin Sector. We crawled into the body of an orphan in the magical equipment graveyard in the suburb of Floating Spear City and were reborn, didn't we?"
Li Yao couldn't help but nod. "Yes."
"But on second thought, such a theory is rather untenable!"
A fourth voice came over from Li Yao's side. It was indeed a new Li Yao. He scratched his hair and said in pain, "Judging from our uncanny dream at the beginning, the so-called 'Earth' was a barren world with absolutely no spiritual energy. Those who lived on Earth were all ordinary people. Their souls were all extremely weak.
"In my previous life, I was just a common car mechanic. Naturally, my soul couldn't have been very strong!
"That's exactly the problem!"
The fifth Li Yao crossed his arms and leaned against the wall. Deep in thought, he said, "Dangers lurk everywhere in the sea of stars. Even the Immortal Cultivators of the Imperium of True Human Beings had to refine their souls into 'star children' before they could cross the sea of stars. How could the soul of an ordinary person from Earth have crossed the sea of stars?
"I'm afraid that his soul would've been minced into pieces by the radiation and the ionosphere before it drifted out of the atmosphere. It is needless to say that it would've crossed thousands of Sectors and tens of thousands of space zones! "
The sixth Li Yao suddenly appeared in front of Li Yao. He blinked and said, "If everything is a coincidence, what happened next will not make sense at all.
"That is Ou Yezi's possession.
"Ou Yezi was the leader of the Hundred Smelting Clan forty thousand years ago. He was a legendary master of refining. His Cultivation was unreachable, and his soul was immensely powerful!
"Although his physical body was heavily wounded during his time travel, making it impossible for him to dodge a common high-speed crystal train, his soul should've been protected by his physical body. He shouldn't have suffered too much damage, right?
"Why did his possession fail?"
"In the past, I always thought that it was because I was an earthling and that my body couldn't be possessed a second time after it had been possessed once.
"However, such a theory was too far-fetched. Li Yao from Earth was just an ordinary person. His soul was extremely weak. Ou Yezi should've been able to erase my soul easily, shouldn't he?
