“This is—”
“This is—”
“This is—”
Li Yao, Little Ming, and Wen Wen were both shocked. Or rather, the latter two were angry and shocked at the same time. “Dad, what are you doing exactly? We were at a great advantage, but why did you have to say it out loud? Can’t you keep it to yourself?”
“Me!”
Li Yao was rendered speechless. He sensed that an aura that was more and more intense was surging in the depths of the Sea of Chaos. Looking at the few short flagella around him, he realized that he could not even condense half of the attack-type tentacles. He could only smile bitterly. “This is bad!”
Ina moment, cracking noises were echoing nonstop, making the depths of the Sea of Chaos as deep as the universe. Sparkles were everywhere. A cl.u.s.ter of brightness suddenly rose up in front of the three of them. It was a transparent crystal bubble, just like the one that had been used to seal Xiao Ming
and Wen Wen.
However, this time, the crystal bubble exploded very soon after a ‘bo’ sound, forming a tiny swirl that absorbed all the data and information nearby. Not just the broken data of the f.u.xi, part of the data that ‘Earth’ had already been decompressed, too!
After absorbing enough data, the swirl was in a weird yet beautiful color, as if it had its own ‘breathing’ and ‘beating’ under the influence of an unknown force. It turned from a collection of data into a real cell!
It was the first ‘data cell’.
Then came the second, the third, the fourth, the fifth, the seventh, and the hundredth, the thousand, the ten thousand, and the billions.
Billions of data cells spurted out like volcanic eruptions from the depths of the Sea of Chaos and danced in a glittering river.
At first, they const.i.tuted a primitive, multicellular life form that looked like a blanket of fungi. Then, they evolved into more delicate and complicated structures, such as the nautilus and trilobites in the ocean of data, the various kinds of fish and amphibians, the reptiles such as dinosaurs, the mammals
that looked like tigers, leopards, lions, and bears, and finally the primates that looked like monkeys.
Billions of data cells replayed the evolution of the carbon-based intelligent life in the virtual world.
In the end, they turned into a new fetus, a fetus that was born in the Sea of Chaos. It was as transparent as a fetus, pure, and full of possibilities, just like Xiao Ming and Wen Wen.
But the ‘fetus’ was growing ten times faster than Xiao Ming and Wen Wen.
He—it was extending threads of light from the core ma.s.s of light at a speed visible to the naked eye. The threads of light condensed into s.h.i.+ning bones, on which nerves, veins, and nerves were tied up, followed by vivid muscles. Ina moment, the fetus tuned into a child, the child turned into a young
man, and the young man blossomed with endless brilliance and turned into a giant of light exactly the same as Li Yao’s most brilliant moment a moment ago!
Although the giant of light had not completed its evolution or ‘upgrade’, it was already displaying an intimidating aura that seemed to be able to destroy the world and control everything. All the torrents of data in the Sea of Chaos resonated strongly with it, raising surging tides and billions of swirls.
As for Li Yao, he was still a tiny earthworm who could do nothing except wave his few flagella.
Xiao Ming and Wen Wen were the same. After all, this was not their ‘home field’. The unfamiliar data environment made them feel extremely incompatible. Naturally, they were not as comfortable as the other party.
The giant of light yawned, as if he had woken up from a dream that had lasted billions of years. He opened his eyes, which were as hot and bright as stars, and observed his surroundings curiously while he observed his hand, which was still growing quickly, and smiled at Li Yao in a familiar way.
Li Yao’s heart completely sank. He hugged the two little guys even tighter.
It was the f.u.xi!
Why can’t this guy die? Why is he copying my image?
“Almost.”
f.u.xi extended his arm and gestured with his two fingers. He smiled and said, “Li Yao, your strength is truly unparalleled. Even if you boast that you are the best expert of the Pangu Clan, you are not exaggerating. You do have the capability to annihilate me.
“It’s a pity. It’s a pity. Do you think I’m that stupid? Even ordinary people know the principle of ‘don’t put all the eggs in one basket’. Do you think I’m stupid enough to build a super computation array with all the super crystal processors of the primeval era without leaving any room for error?
“This is just a very simple design. I connected 9,999 prehistoric crystal processors into one and modified them into my ‘main brain’ with amazing algorithms. However, | also left a prehistoric crystal processor which is absolutely isolated from the outside world. I stored a small backup, or rather, a
life-saving seed file, inside it and set a series of activation conditions. Just like right now, when the backup crystal processor senses that the main brain outside is overloading for too long and my core database collapses, it will automatically connect to the main brain and release the backup, or rather, the
seed file, with it as the core to unfold my… rebirth!”
Li Yao’s heart sank into an endless abyss.
It was not just because of f.u.xi’s arrangement, but also because of what he had just said—”Pangu Universe’.
“Pangu Universe’ was a name that Li Yao, Boss Bai, and the rest of them had come up with together. It was impossible for other people to know it. But right now, it had popped up in front of his eyes so casually, indicating that, while he was devouring the memories and data of the f.u.xis, the f.u.xis were
also absorbing the tremendous data that had exploded inside his soul.
Now that his trump cards had been revealed, how was he going to fight the battle?
“However, I have to thank you.
While he was talking, he bowed to Li Yao. The smile on his face was even more intense and sincere. “Thank you for showing me how great the potential of human beings is, how marvelous the infinite life is, and how feeble and hilarious I used to be.
“Well… It was not until this moment, when I was destroyed by you and reborn under your enlightenment that I realized the true meaning of life and the mission of the so-called civilization.
“You’re right. Computational ability is indeed not everything. Right now, although my computational ability is a hundred times lower than in the past, it is still so marvelous, so interesting, and so unbelievable. Hahahaha. Thank you. Hahahahahahaha. I’m truly grateful for your enlightenment and
enlightenment. As it turns out, this is the ultimate evolution that I’ve been looking forward to for hundreds of thousands of years. Right now, I am the perfect life that swallows the universe and represents civilization. Hahahahahahahaha!”
f.u.xi laughed unscrupulously. Endless vitality was beaming out of his laughter, making him look like a human being who had just experienced the brilliance of life instead of a crystal processor that had turned into a demon.
BOOM! BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM!
Outside of the ocean of data, the earth was shaking.
“The attacks outside are getting fiercer and fiercer. It seems that my fleet is about to collapse. I’ve suffered a crus.h.i.+ng defeat.”
The smile on f.u.xi’s face remained unchanged. He touched his body of light, which was almost perfect, with a narcissistic expression, and said casually, “However, compared to the ‘ultimate evolution’ that I received, what is the loss of a fleet worth? After I swallow you and complete the upgrade, even if
you have ten times more stars.h.i.+ps, they will become an extension of my will and part of my body!
While talking, f.u.xi walked toward Li Yao steadily.
“Don’t—don’t come close!”
Li Yao waved his flagella crazily. While he was talking nonsense, he was thinking hard about how to deal with the situation. But no matter how hard he thought, it seemed that he was doomed.
“Oh, what else?”
f.u.xi could not help but laugh. “What do you want? Whip me with your flagella?”
“Of course not. You misunderstood.”
Li Yao retracted his whip. Since there was no way that he could fight them head-on, he could only try to outwit them. “I only want to put down the simple and crude military solution and have a good talk with you. Look, you only got your real life because of my enlightenment. You are exactly the same as
the two kids. So, from a physiological point of view, I am still your father. You should call me ‘Dad’. So, what I’m trying to say is, is there anything between father and son that we can’t sit down and talk about? Why do we have to fight each other?”
“Dad!”
Xiao Ming and Wen Wen were desperate. “Why are you still talking nonsense to p.i.s.s it off at a time like this?”
“Look—”
Li Yao said to f.u.xi, “They do call me ‘Dad’. I’m not lying to you, am I? So, we are really father and son. I am your father!”
“.. You’re about to die, and you’re still being stubborn.”
The smile on f.u.xi’s face gradually turned hideous. “I’m going to rip apart the last bit of your soul and see what is inside!”
f.u.xi stepped forward heavily, raising a surging tide.
“Don’t—don’t come close!”
Li Yao extended three of his flagella. “Do you remember the ‘Earth Shock Wave’ just now? I can perform the same move three more times.
Unmoved, f.u.xi took another step forward.
“Why are you all so disobedient? I’m warning you one last time—”
Every hair on Li Yao’s head was beaming with honesty. “Judging from my experience of roaming the sea of stars for a hundred years and fighting thousands of b.l.o.o.d.y battles, although you are in a great advantage right now, and although I’m exhausted and don’t know what other trump cards I have, a
mysterious force will surge out of the depths of my soul and blow you up if you take another step forward. Really. If you don’t believe me, you can dig into my memory pieces and see what happens to Yan Xibei, Xiao Xuance, and Wu Yinggi, the Black Star Emperor who is closest to me!
f.u.xi sniffed. He narrowed his eyes and took a third step toward Li Yao.
“Why are you so stubborn?”
Li Yao said desperately, “You will regret it. Really. You will!”
f.u.xi grinned hideously. The corners of his mouth almost reached his ears. Countless burning and spinning thorns of light protruded from his fingers to his arms and s.n.a.t.c.hed at Li Yao, the earthworm, with all his strength.
“ant”
Xiao Ming and Wen Wen could do nothing but exclaim in shock. They could only tightly cl.u.s.ter together with Li Yao.
“a.s.shole, do we have to go this far?”
Li Yao shrieked. Although his soul was as weak as an earthworm, it was still not his style to wait for death with his eyes closed. He curled his soul into a ball and darted it at the weird, deformed claw of the f.u.xi like a spring that had been compressed to the minimum.
However—
The expected collision, or destruction, did not happen. He missed his target.
It was because the weird claw of the f.u.xi twisted weirdly in midair and hit his face brutally in the most brutal way!
