“Thankfully, this kid still has some conscience!”
Li Yao was greatly relieved by Lu Qingchen’s sincere words. He automatically filtered out the words such as ‘cockroaches, mice, and earthworms’. What he meant was that it did not matter who won between him and Lu Qingchen. The most important thing for him was to make sure that Fuxi did not
succeed!
“Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah!”
Under Lu Qingchen’s sharp claws, which were getting deeper and deeper, the Fuxi cried more and more feebly, completely defeated by Lu Qingchen’s logic.
“Like I said to the earthworm, I made all kinds of unforgivable mistakes in the past. They were full of limitations and fatal loopholes, so much so that I reached the limits of my training and was trapped by myself.
Lu Qingchen sighed. “Therefore, when my remaining soul was drifting in the sea of stars, I did reflect on a lot of things and wished that I could turn back time and start all over again.
“Of course, I can’t turn back time, but I might be able to get rid of the burdens and restraints of the past and embark on a brand-new journey with a new attitude.
“Therefore, it was not just a trap or a scam, not just a gamble that I made with my life, but also a training session without any hesitation!
“I threw myself into the abyss of death and examined my ugly and deformed heart time and time again in the reincarnation cycle. I cleansed my heart that was riddled with holes with the surging tides of the mortal world. I allowed myself to be hypnotized and digested by you, but with your help, I got rid
of the filth and impurities in the deepest part of my soul and made my soul clearer and more spiritual. In the end, I heard the call of the earthworm and seized the one billionth chance to return to the light.
“Even if my plan didn’t work out and I perished at that time, I didn’t feel any regret or remorse. I had already contributed all my strength to the motherland and the civilization of mankind, and at the last moment of my life, I had truly seen myself clearly. What was there to regret?
“However.
“Now that I’m not dead, and I’ve been reborn in a brand-new appearance, there will be no power in the universe that can stop me from carrying out my will and finding… unparalleled freedom!
BAM!
With Lu Qingchen’s loudest roar, the ‘head that represented the core database of the Fuxis was crushed by him. The pieces turned into countless messy light spots and fled in panic like burning moths.
“Why are you running away? Don’t you like to meld with me and explore the world outside? Come on. Give me everything you have. Hahahaha!”
Lu Qingchen burst into laughter. His ugly face was suddenly split into two halves, and his chin almost reached his belly button. A bloody mouth that looked like a black hole appeared and swallowed all the data pieces that had been separated from the Fuxi Clan!
“No
The last screams of the Fuxi were so miserable that Li Yao felt that his heart was pounding when he heard them.
CRACK! CRACK! CRACK! CRACK!
Lu Qingchen was not moved at all. He chewed the last bit of data of the Fuxi and absorbed it into his soul.
The ‘weak artificial intelligence’, which had been born in the primeval era hundreds of thousands of years ago and survived the Armageddon between the Pangu Clan and the Nuwa Clan but grew stronger and stronger until it almost reached the peak of evolution, was finally obliterated.
Or rather, the old Fuxi had perished, but the new one was rising up like a brilliant sun, illuminating the entire ocean of data.
Of course, it also reflected the weakness of Li Yao, who was swimming and wriggling in the ocean of data.
Li Yao and Lu Qingchen, who seemed to be destined competitors, confronted each other quietly in the ocean of data.
In terms of appearance, soul power, and computational ability, there was a huge gap between them.
Lu Qingchen had inherited most of the computational ability and algorithms of the Fuxis. His soul structure had just been ‘perfectly upgraded’ after a rebirth. Although he was still weak, he was growing crazily every second. He had even absorbed part of the data from the earth deep inside Li Yao’s soul.
On the other hand, Li Yao had used up the last bit of his strength in the head-on clash with the Fuxi. Although he had experienced tremendous changes, he would not be able to recover without at least half a month of rest.
Just now, while Lu Qingchen was talking nonsense with Fuxi, he had been absorbing the data and information around him crazily, too. His only achievement was that he had grown an extra flagella.
“It’s useless!”
Li Yao waved his flagella, trying to shed a tear of regret.
Lu Qingchen looked at him, deep in thought.
“Right now, it’s just you and me. Oh, and these two cute little guys.”
There was no telling what was on his mind.
“Yes. Yes. The crazy ultimate devil has finally been killed by us. The sea of stars is peaceful again. Congratulations! Congratulations!”
Li Yao scratched his head with his whip. He felt a bit embarrassed and did not know what to say. Seeing that Lu Qingchen was not about to burst into fury, he tried to ask carefully, “Mr. Lu, we don’t have to fight each other without a word, do we?”
“What?”
Lu Qingchen smiled. “Are you going to say that I was reborn because of your enlightenment, too? So, from a physiological point of view, you are my father?”
“No, no, no. Please don’t misunderstand!”
Shaking his head like a rattle-drum, Li Yao said sincerely, “I’m a man with self-awareness. I’m already satisfied that I can be your uncle and your father and call you ‘big nephew’ when you killed the super artificial intelligence of the primeval era with a single punch. I really don’t dare hope for more!
Lu Qingchen stared at Li Yao without blinking.
Li Yao’s flagella gradually stiffened. He stammered, “Don’t—don’t stare at me like that. Mr. Lu, Fellow Cultivator Lu, Hero Lu, my body is too weak right now. I can’t stand your punch. Besides, we are all fighting for the Star Glory Federation and the civilization of mankind. Even the Fuxis have been killed
byus. I really don’t see the need for us to fight each other to the death. What’s the big deal? If you are not satisfied with me, I will change it. I will change it, alright?”
Lu Qingchen stared at Li Yao for a long time. He took a long breath in relief and spat out countless streams of data that were full of resentment toward Li Yao.
“I don’t like you. I never have.”
Lu Qingchen replied frankly, “It’s not about your personality. Although it is true that you are sordid, shameless, and occasionally sleazy, it is not my fault.
“The reason why I don’t like you is because of your childishness and stupidity. You are the kind of ‘dumb good man’ who can’t accomplish anything but can ruin everything.
“Is it wrong to be hot-blooded? Is it wrong to be kind? Is it wrong to be a good person?
“In most cases, it is true, but those are just ‘the virtues of ordinary people’.
“But you are not an ordinary person. Instead, you are one of the top three experts in the Pangu Universe. You are an expert who can lead the entire civilization of mankind forward. You are a superman who can influence the functioning of several Sectors just by raising your hand or coughing!
“Tt doesn’t matter whether you are willing to or not. But now that you’ve reached such a high level, if you still cling to the ‘virtue of ordinary people’, you will only miss the opportunity because of your hesitation. You will only drag more people down. The civilizations that you killed and even destroyed
cannot blame you for anything, because you are truly kind and foolish!
“Yes, yes, yes.”
Li Yao nodded like a chicken pecking rice. “You are right, Nephew Lu. I was wrong. I’ll change!”
“Forget it. A leopard never changes its spots. Our beliefs have been forged. How can it be changed so easily?”
Lu Qingchen said, “What I’m trying to say is that, although I don’t like you, I’m not someone who will abandon my work for personal reasons. I won’t allow my personal feelings to interfere with my work and ruin it.
“Don’t underestimate me, too, because you think that I will not let go of the failure of the Phantom Plan and seek revenge for that kind of nonsense.
“Today, we have all been reborn. Let’s leave the grudges between Lu Qingchen and Li Yao in the dimming yesterday. The new Lu Qingchen and Li Yao should let go of all their burdens, grudges, and grudges and start anew, shouldn’t they?
“Yes, yes, yes. My dear nephew, I didn’t know that!”
Li Yao was dazed for a moment. Then he burst into ecstasy. “I didn’t know that you were so smart. It seems that you’ve really turned over a new leaf. Hahahaha. I didn’t risk my life to save you in vain. Excellent. Excellent!”
“So.”
Lu Qingchen said solemnly, “You don’t object to our new cooperation based on common interests?”
“Of course.”
Li Yao nodded quickly. “In your opinion, what is our greatest common interest?”
“The Star Glory Federation, of course. No matter who we are and what we pursue, and no matter how different our beliefs are, we are all true patriots. We all hope that the Star Glory Federation can thrive and rise in the center of the sea of stars, or even lead the civilization of mankind.
Lu Qingchen stared at Li Yao. “Therefore, we should work together for the rise of the federation and unite against the common enemy, shouldn’t we?”
“This… can’t be wrong!”
Li Yao scratched his head with his whip for a long time. “However, why do I feel that you are implying something? The Fuxi fleet is collapsing, and the dust is settling. We’ve won. Who is the ‘foreigner’ who is united against the enemy?”
“Have you been blinded by your foolish kindness again, or are you asking the obvious?”
Lu Qingchen frowned deeply. His voice was lower and lower, full of irresistible dominance and charisma, as he said, “You haven’t forgotten that the Star Glory Federation has two formidable enemies—the Holy Alliance and the imperium, have you?
“Right now, the main brain of the Sanctuary Alliance has been destroyed. Even the best fleet might fall into our hands.
“In the meantime, the broken hearts of the citizens of the imperium were exposed to us without any warning.
“Even if you only have the computational ability of an earthworm, you should have realized that this is the best opportunity for us to work together and destroy the Holy Alliance and the imperium so that the federation will rise in the center of the sea of stars and dominate the entire Pangu Universe!
