BOOM! CRACK!
‘The rainwater that had been acc.u.mulating in the sky finally rolled down amid the lightning and thunder. The sky and the earth were immediately filled with storms. The land that had been peaceful a moment ago turned into a swamp in the blink of an eye.
Countless lightning bolts seemed to have exploded inside Li Yao’s soul, too, as he was enlightened.
Every drop of rainwater in front of him was gone, replaced by the data that const.i.tuted them.
All the data describing the speed, weight, clarity, and the curved surface of the rainwater spread out among the ripples of his soul, allowing him to control every detail of the ‘world within a world’. He could also change the form of his soul and turn himself into a raindrop, hiding in the billions of
raindrops.
The so-called jumping out of the three realms and out of the five elements’ referred to his current state. Without utilizing more than 90% of his computational ability, it would be impossible to locate him.
“So that’s how it is. The so-called techniques, whether it is spells, spells, or concepts such as combat aura, don’t matter. Essentially, they are the interference and disruption of the low-dimensional universe by the high-dimensional creatures.
Li Yao’s understanding blossomed like a translucent lotus. “High-dimensional life is more ‘real’. Naturally, you can see through the ‘false’ of the low-dimensional universe at a glance and grasp the virtual rules of the low-dimensional universe, thereby becoming a deity of the low-dimensional universe.
“But it does not mean that the low-dimensional universe cannot produce intelligent creatures of its own, It does not mean that the low-dimensional creatures are fakes. Nor does it mean that the low-dimensional creatures cannot counterattack in a higher dimension!
“Although the virus is simple in structure and small in size, as long as we find a suitable way to mutate and spread it, we will still have the opportunity to kill the viruses from the low-dimensional universe that are countless times more intelligent than us. Why can’t we crush our own Heavenly Dao and
defeat the creators and controllers of the higher dimensions?
“Is this the true meaning of the ‘Vulture Plan’? I seem to understand something.”
With a telepathic thought, a fuzzy human figure was condensed in the dense rain under the dark night sky.
He stared at his ‘hand’ in a daze. The water droplets that const.i.tuted his palm were gradually turning red. If he wanted to, he could turn the cold raindrops into scorching magma at any time. He could even turn the torrential rain into an extremely hot meteor shower and completely destroy the virtual
world.
However, he certainly did not do that.
However, under the cover of the storm, he had been trying to explore new life forms and deepen his understanding about data and information, hoping to retrieve more memories about Earth from the depths of his soul.
He was training, training his unprecedented strength and touching the laws between reality and illusion.
Deep inside the mind of the f.u.xis, it is indeed the most suitable place for training for information creatures!
Feeling the fundamental rules of the virtual world and appreciating the underlying logic that supported it, Li Yao smiled as thousands of data and information flowed slowly between his fingers.
f.u.xi was not a dreamer. But even if he had such an ability, he would never have dreamed that an anomaly such as Li Yao would fall from the sky and treat his mental hub as a place of seclusion.
Every second, Li Yao, the virus, or ‘cancer’, was stronger than the previous second and grasped more power from Earth!
“The concept of ‘f.u.xi’ seems to exist on Earth, too. Just like Nuwa, it originated from Pangu. Is it just a coincidence, or is there some sort of relations.h.i.+p between two different f.u.xi?”
Li Yao thought quickly. Right. The super artificial intelligence of the Pangu Universe has been in touch with the Flood Tide Legion hundreds of thousands of years ago. Maybe indirectly, it has been in touch with Earth, too. Communication works both ways. The name ‘f.u.xi’ spread out on Earth and in the
Pangu Universe at the same time.
“As for the truth, as long as we can subdue f.u.xi and find the traces of the Flood Tide Legion and the schemer through them, the truth will naturally be revealed.
As the power from Earth surged out unstoppably, the world was clearer and clearer in front of Li Yao. His telepathic thoughts touched and pierced through the edge of the virtual world easily.
“Let’s go!”
Li Yao moaned. A gap of absolute darkness suddenly appeared in the curtain of rain. His soul tuned into an invisible streak of brightness and wandered among the countless virtual worlds through the gap!
Shua! Shua! Shua! Shua!
Countless virtual worlds blossomed like crystal flowers. Data flooded into Li Yao’s brain like a flood, allowing him to grasp the general situation, deduction models, and underlying logic of the virtual worlds.
He was like an unpredictable, rus.h.i.+ng ghost that was shuttling between hundreds of different worlds.
f.u.xi still hadn’t discovered him.
‘There were approximately one trillion microorganisms inside the body of an adult healthy person. The difficulty of searching and locating Li Yao was equivalent to searching and locating one of the one trillion microorganisms inside the body of an ordinary person.
But Li Yao noticed Lu Qingchen.
To be more precise, it was a brand-new ‘sout’, ‘personality’, virtual human being’ that had been reshaped by the soul fragments of Lu Qingchen, Chu Zhixiao, Guan Qixing, Yuan Kou, Yun Haixin, and the others.
Li Yao stared at the chaotic world in front of him.
It was a world of steel that recked of sulfur, rust, and blood. As far as one’s eyes could reach, there were uneven craters, cracks that were spurting venomous fog, broken tanks, and collapsed skysc.r.a.pers. Of course, there were also dark clouds that were hovering in the sky and blocking most of the
radiation from the stars.
Below the dark clouds, countless Cultivators were fighting in different groups. Li Yao could clearly feel that the data that const.i.tuted their bodies had turned crimson.
This was a world of war at the end of the rope. It was even crueler and more desperate than the h.e.l.lish Paradise.
However, deep below the ground, in the fully-equipped military base, a batch of fully-armed Cultivators were gazing at the enormous… manufacturing factory in front of them with bloodshot eyes and excited faces.
Yes. The core of the virtual world was the manufacturing factory that was buried deep below the ground.
The scale and structure of the factory were very similar to the one Li Yao had seen in the depths of the Kunlun Mysterious Land. They were both steel beams that pierced into the sky. Countless dark red metal capsules were embedded and hanging on the tubes. In each of the metal capsules, one or two
fetuses were growing into fetuses and babies.
Everything was controlled by a large super crystal processor array. Li Yao could smell the scent of the f.u.xi from the super crystal processor.
In the meantime, the new virtual humans condensed by the souls of Lu Qingchen and the rest of them were being bred in the metal bags in the form of fetuses.
The flow of time in the virtual world was different from that in the real world.
Everything here was a combination of data and deduction. As long as f.u.xi was willing to devote a lot of his computational ability and his crystal brain was enough to support it, time could flow as fast as he wanted.
Therefore, Li Yao soon saw the life of the new virtual character.
Watching him grow from a small embryo into a healthy and strong baby, and even accelerating his growth in the strengthening nutrition cabin all the way to the age of ten, while planting a lot of memories about weapons and battles in his brain
They saw him leave the nutrition cabin together with countless brothers and sisters in confusion, join the training camp, and join the battlefield after extremely cruel inhuman training.
They saw him struggling in one battlefield after another, killing virtual humans one after another, and he was almost killed by them several times.
Occasionally, he would look up at the sky and wonder who he was, where he came from, and where he was going.
However, there was not much time for him to think during the intense battle. He was faced with the fire of war again and was caught in a storm of bullets. He struggled to survive between the flames and the venom until he was. .h.i.t by a crystal cannon and smashed into pieces.
‘The virtual character was dead.
However, the data that const.i.tuted his soul, personality, and memories did not disappear. Instead, they were collected by f.u.xi, who crushed them into the shape of a baby and threw them into a new virtual world, starting a new ‘reincarnation’.
After every ‘reincarnation’, he would change into a new ident.i.ty and start a new life. The world he was in, on the other hand, was like a real time in the history of mankind. It was gradually moving back to the past, from the modern era to the ancient era, and from the ancient era to the primeval era. After
dozens of ‘reincarnation’, the features of the souls of Lu Qingchen and the rest of the virtual characters were already very thin. He was less and less likely to look up at the sky and wonder who he was.
“What is the meaning of this?”
Li Yao could vaguely feel the pa.s.sage of time. He knew that three to five days had pa.s.sed in the ‘real world’.
But after dozens of cycles in the virtual world, thousands of years had pa.s.sed.
The data that had been compressed for thousands of years would be presented in only half a month. A lot of computational ability would be wasted, and the distribution and attack of the ‘f.u.xi fleet’ might be affected, too. What kind of monster was he exactly?
“I feel that it is some kind of hypnotization.
The mental devil replied, “Ten to fifteen days ago, although f.u.xi reconstructed Lu Qingchen’s soul with the souls of the four members of the yaksha squad, he still retained too many of Lu Qingchen’s memories and self-awareness. He had learned his lesson once and did not want to swallow Lu Qingchen
directly, nor did he want to trigger Lu Qingchen’s resistance.
“Therefore, it threw the soul into reincarnation after reincarnation. In the process of experiencing different lives, the soul was gradually lost and forgot its true ident.i.ty, its mission, and the difference between ‘real’ and ‘false’.
“When the last memories, will, and awareness that belonged to Lu Qingchen, Chu Zhixiao, and the rest of them are gone, when he completely loses himself and even believes that he is a f.u.xi, the absorption of the f.u.xi will be complete!
