The mental devil cut off a bare branch from Ou Yezi's memory tree and scratched itself with it. Yawning, it said, "About that, I would like to raise the most serious objection to you. You pretended that you didn't know the first thing about biochemistry and had to give the Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit to me for the full modification, but you were actually setting up a trap to see if I would play any tricks, weren't you?
"Actually, during this period of time, your progress in biochemistry has been very fast. You're not as ignorant as you seem on the surface. Moreover, you've also made a lot of arrangements in this modification room just to wait for me to reveal my true form, right?"
"You're going too far."
"I'm not saying that you can't 'cut the devil in your heart', but with our identity and position today, shouldn't we slightly raise the level of the battle and stop playing the game that insults each other's wisdom?"
"Tampering with the Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit? Do I look like such a tasteless inner demon? "
Li Yao said, "Okay, I'm sorry. I misunderstood you. You are a noble and upright demon. Why did you help me?"
"For the peace of the Heaven's Origin Sector, the Blood Demon Sector, and the Flying Star Sector, of course," the mental devil said solemnly.
Li Yao: "What's the second half?"
The mental devil: "… And an even more glorious war!"
Li Yao: "What do you mean?"
The mental devil smiled. "The Blood Demon Sector and the Tian Yuan Realm are just two barren worlds at the edge of the cosmos. What's the big deal even if the Flying Star Sector is added? Don't tell me you think that this kind of rural village brawl can satisfy me? "
"Yes. I can interfere with you and even hinder you at a critical moment so that a total war between the Blood Demon Sector and the Tian Yuan Realm will break out. Both parties will suffer heavy losses and destroy each other."
"And then?"
"Then, wait for the expedition army of the Imperium of True Human Beings to arrive. The Heaven's Origin Sector, the Blood Demon Sector, and the Flying Star Sector will all be crushed into smithereens by the lightning. They will not be able to fight back at all!
"Only when the two parties are on par with each other will the most exciting war. If one party is unable to fight back, it will be suppressed in the blink of an eye. It will be like an ant being stomped to death, and the ant will not even know how it was killed. The one who stomps it will not feel any sense of satisfaction or accomplishment at all. How can there be such a strong desire to kill? "
Li Yao was dazed. He took a deep breath.
The mental devil said with a smile, "Therefore, even if I do crave a war, it will definitely not be a township-level war between the Heaven's Origin Sector, the Blood Demon Sector, and the Flying Star Sector. It will be a universal war that is more glorious, magnificent, and stirring, and that can ignite the three thousand Sectors!
"One of the parties involved in the war is the Imperium of True Human Beings. On the other hand, the New Federation will be united by the Heaven's Origin Sector, the Blood Demon Sector, and the Flying Star Sector after a hundred years of rapid development!
"Think about it. What soul-stirring sparks can be raised in the cosmic war between the Imperium and the New Federation? What magnificent stories can be played? How many soul-stirring heroes, villains, and cowards can emerge? What intense emotions can be generated? How much bloodthirst, slaughter, betrayal, loyalty, protection, desperation, and hope can be generated?"
"Such a war will be the most sumptuous meal on land and sea. I am trembling in excitement just thinking about it!
"Compared to such a war … What's the big deal about the war between the Heaven's Origin Sector and the Blood Demon Sector?
"Therefore, our purpose is the same, which is to unite the Heaven's Origin Sector, the Blood Demon Sector, and the Flying Star Sector as soon as possible. Only if the New Federation develops at a high speed for a hundred years and builds up its capability with everything will it be slightly qualified to be a real opponent of the Imperium of True Human Beings, won't it?
"After all, a well-matched war is only fun!
"Look. I've been so honest. Now that I've told you everything, you can finally rest assured, right? "
Li Yao: "… A * shole! I'm even more worried now, alright? How can there be such a terrifying monster like you? "
The mental devil sniffed. "The two of us are mental devils to each other. We are two sides of the same coin in the first place. In other words, who are we to each other? It will be meaningless for you to pretend to be a pure, innocent lotus flower, won't it?
"Stop deceiving yourself. Actually, you've always yearned for war in the depths of your heart. You yearn for soul-stirring slaughter, the rescue at the most critical moment, and the exhilaration of one against a thousand, right?"
"You are as bloodthirsty and desperate for slaughter as I am. You like adventures and turbulence as much as I do. You do not like the monotonous, peaceful, and boring world. You have never changed from the magical equipment graveyard to this day. You have always been the fatal vulture, haven't you?
"Why didn't you follow the main troops when you returned from the Flying Star Sector but transmigrated to the Blood Demon Sector on your own?
"Right. You knew that you were infected by the Blood Stripe Virus and did not want other people to be affected. You would rather sacrifice yourself!
"What a good reason. What a noble character. What a great sentiment. What a tear-jerking hero!
"However, you and I both know that it is an out-and-out lie!
"It's just that deep down in your subconsciousness, you craved more intense battles, more dangerous adventures, and more soul-stirring adventures. You were even more unwilling to be bound by rules and laws!
"You knew subconsciously that, once you returned to the Tian Yuan Realm with the main troops, you would be bound by multiple rules and become a screw on the enormous machine of Cultivators. You would only be a relatively important unit at best.
"What did the Cultivators' Nexus of the Heaven's Origin Sector say? Even Cultivators need to follow the basics!
"In both the Heaven's Origin Sector and the Flying Star Sector, even the Yuanying monsters cannot do whatever they want. Even in a battle, they will be bound and arranged by certain rules. If the government of the Federation gives you a mission that you do not like, will you turn it down?
"That is why you chose the Blood Demon Sector.
"In this place, you are your only master. You will not be affected by rules and laws at all. You can do whatever you want and go on a killing spree according to your will!
"If we get to the bottom of it, above Li Yao, the super hero of the Xing Yao Federation, there is another Li Yao, a Li Yao who does not belong to the Federation but belongs to himself and Earth!
"There's no need to deny it. I know everything about your subconsciousness. Or, to be more exact, I am your subconsciousness!
"You know it. You've always known it."
Li Yao was silent. A strong wind was blowing deep inside his brain, blowing off a golden leaf on Ou Yezi's memory tree.
The mental devil extended its hand and picked up the leaf. It folded the two sides of the leaf and put it on its lips to blow into it. After blowing for a long time, it coughed violently.
"Excuse me. I'm not very good at blowing leaves.
"Then why did you blow it?" Li Yao asked.
"I just felt that it would be more stylish to blow a melancholy tune when we are discussing such a profound and philosophical topic," the mental devil said.
"…" Li Yao.
"Right."
The mental devil flicked the memory pieces away softly and changed the topic. "Over the past few days, while you were training your body, I did a minor exploration in the depths of our brain and found something very interesting. Are you interested in knowing it?"
Li Yao raised his eyebrow. "What is it?"
The mental devil opened its mouth and spat out a bug that was emitting golden brilliance like a firefly.
The body of the bug was like a round, translucent dew. However, when Li Yao focused his soul on it, he saw …
On Earth in the blue world …
Hiu! Hiu!
The black flame-like sports car drew a line of fire on the Yanjiang Avenue, its speed far exceeding the limits of machinery. All the pointers and data on the electronic dashboard were jumping crazily, tearing into streams of light and dancing in the air.
The entire Earth was shaking violently.
"The Vulture Plan has failed. It's too strong. We can't destroy it!"
"Run!"
"Run to the edge of the cosmos and never come back. Forget everything about Earth!"
"It's too strong and too dark. We can't destroy it. Ten thousand years, ten million years, a hundred million years, we can't destroy it!"
In the next second, the black fire sports car seemed to have rushed out of the road, out of the troposphere, out of the stratosphere, out of Earth, and into the infinite universe.
Standing on the nebula, Li Yao stared at the blue planet with the most scorching eyes. He declared in the vacuum, one word after another, "I will accomplish the Vulture Plan. I will destroy it!"
His soul shivered, and he returned to reality.
"Is that all?"
"What do you think? If we consider our mind to be a boundless ocean, all the information is buried at the bottom of the deepest trench. With our current strength, it is already not bad that we can excavate some of the scraps! "
Li Yao pondered for a moment. "So, the Vulture Plan is to destroy something, a powerful dark existence. What is it exactly?"
The mental devil opened its hands and said, "Whatever it is, it is not something that we can destroy right now.
"Perhaps, this is the reason why we crave battles, adventures, and training so much in our bones. It is because we want to be stronger, strong enough to carry out the 'Vulture Plan'!"
Li Yao took a deep breath. A path leading to the blue planet 'Earth' in the depths of the sea of stars seemed to have appeared before his eyes.
The road that was brimming with thorns and flames extended across the universe. It was very, very long.
Leaning against the Tree of Memories, the mental devil narrowed its eyes and seemed to have seen the same road that was burning furiously in the sea of stars. It observed it attentively. Gradually, the smile on its face was gone, and it became very tranquil. It mumbled, "It's so beautiful, isn't it?"
