Forty Millenniums of Cultivation Chapter 3251 - Fatal Truth

Chapter 3251: Fatal Truth

“Because I did not discover the ‘viruses’ such as you or ‘you’ in the past few reincarnations. I noticed them a long, long time ago when you could not even imagine it.
“Li Yao,” the will of the earth said with a smile. “Like I said, I am Li Yao, but I am far more than Li Yao. Therefore, it was not an invasion. You and I have been one since the very beginning. We grew up together and created brilliant miracles together. In the end, we returned to this place together, to the mother of the mind.
“What?”
The Red Pole Star was dumbfounded. The more she recalled, the more her soul was shivering. In the end, the fortress of her soul almost collapsed. “Are you saying—are you saying—”
“If you haven’t found out when I snuck into Li Yao’s soul, you are disappointing me. You are not qualified to communicate with a ‘3.5-dimensional life form’ at all.
The will of the Earth projected a complicated stream of information deep inside the brain of the Red Pole Star. Every ripple of the information contained countless vivid and even more vivid pictures than the real thing, allowing the Red Pole Star to understand the truth that had happened somewhere in the universe a long time ago in the most straightforward way.
Therefore, Red Pole saw a blue planet floating in the dark universe—Earth at the end of a certain reincarnation.
He also saw a vague shadow that was entirely made of fury and unyielding brilliance. It was ‘Heroic Spirit Li Yao’, who had awakened in his previous life.
“The Vulture Plan hasn’t failed yet. I’m still alive! Even if I flee to the edge of the universe and suffer ten thousand years of pain and suffering, one day, I will make a comeback, complete the Vulture Plan, and destroy Earth!”
Through the ‘void’, the Red Pole Star seemed to hear Li Yao’s cry.
Then, the heroic spirit turned into a streak of brightness, tore apart the universe, crossed the stars, and vanished on the other side of space and time.
It was something that Red Pole had known for a long time.
It was also the self-righteous ‘truth’.
However, in the past, he had never seen such a thing. Not long after ‘Heroic Spirit Li Yao’ escaped from the earth where he was reincarnated, a tiny silver light spot popped up from the earth, as if it had no concept of gravity or speed. Like a ghost ripple released by the will of the earth, it circled three times around the coordinates that ‘Heroic Spirit Li Yao’ had just left. Then, it caught up with ‘Heroic Spirit Li Yao’ and followed him to the edge of the universe!
“This—this is—”
The Red Pole could barely breathe.
“Did you really think that the ‘Vulture War’ would deal such a heavy blow to me that I could not even lock onto the soul of an ordinary earthling, or in your words, a heroic spirit?
The will of the earth replied casually, “No. If I really did not care about the cost, I could’ve stopped or even destroyed the heroic spirit that got away. But there was no need for that. Besides, the monotonous reincarnation had been repeated countless times, and the war on the universal level had lasted too long. Maybe the heroic spirit that got away would trigger a series of interesting chain reactions and bring unexpected changes to me.
“Therefore, I did not stop him. I merely split a part of myself… In a way that you can understand, I split a part of my soul and followed him.
“Of course, you can also understand my soul fragment as some kind of very smart fully-automatic weapon that can automatically absorb all the information on the battlefield. According to the dynamic information of both sides, it will automatically turn into the most suitable form and complete the mission in the most ingenious way.
“Although the distance is too far for me to control the ‘soul weapon’ directly, I believe that it will not disappoint me. I have set a double task for it. First of all, I will test whether or not the heroic spirit who has escaped has enough potential. If he fails, I will erase him and take his place to explore the edge of the universe.
“If the heroic spirit can pass the test and prove his worth, I might as well fuse with the soul of the heroic spirit and give him enough strength and protection so that he can shine in the dark sea of stars that I have never explored before. Maybe one day in the future, he will bring me unexpected convenience.
“As it turned out, you, you, or rather, ‘we’ did a good job. It was far beyond my imagination. When I read what ‘Vulture Li Yao’ did in the periphery of the sea of stars not long ago, I was greatly surprised even though it was nothing but scraps of information.
“Have you not figured out when and how I snuck into your souls yet?
The picture presented by the will of the earth showed the Heaven’s Origin Sector, the Star Glory Federation, and Floating Spear City.
It was a long time ago, before the ‘New Federation’ was established and the Heaven’s Origin Sector and the Blood Demon Sector met.
It was also the time when ‘Heroic Spirit Li Yao’ had just transmigrated to the Heaven Origin Sector and struggled to grow up in the magical equipment graveyard as ‘Vulture Li Yao’. He struggled to grow into a high school student, only to be despised and bullied.
Red Pole saw the familiar magical equipment graveyard, Morning Sun Village, the super high-speed crystal rail in between, and the culvert below the crystal rail.
He saw ‘Vulture Li Yao’ walking to the culvert alone with his hands in his pockets.
Right then, the silver light spot that had followed him from Earth to the Heaven’s Origin Sector fell from the sky and turned into an old man in ragged clothes on the rail.
Then, the old man was blown away by the high-speed crystal train.
Although the old man had been smashed into pieces, he turned into a translucent ghost and followed the young man like a ghost. He found a suitable opportunity and crawled into ‘Vulture Li Yao’!
The Red Pole Star was almost entirely frozen.
“Ou Yezi!”
He was silent for a long time before he managed to utter three words.
“That’s right. You should’ve realized that, as the leader of a refining sect in the era of the ancient Cultivators, Ou Yezi was too strong… too strong to be real.
The will of the earth was cold.
The Red Pole Star was dazed for a long time.
He understood what the will of the earth meant.
The countless questions that had been bothering him exploded like nuts. It was a pity that he realized it too late!
When Red Terminus was still part of Li Yao, he had been bothered by the matter countless times.
There were indeed many illogical points about ‘Eu Yezi, leader of the Hundred Smelting Guild’.
Firstly, even though the Hundred Smelting Clan was the strongest refining sect of mankind in the era of the ancient Cultivators, the comprehensive level of their Cultivation technology should not be much higher than the average level of the entire era. As for the so-called ‘time-traveling magical equipment or rune arrays’, not to mention the human beings at that time, even the Pangu civilization, the hundred pioneer civilizations before the Pangu civilization, and even the refugees of the Primeval Civilization had never created them.
No matter how talented Ou Yezi was, how did he travel through time with his shabby magical equipment and obscure training technology?
It must be noted that the facilities left by the refugees of the Primeval Civilization in the primeval relics could only freeze time in a small area for ten thousand years at best. There was a huge gap between them and Ou Yezi who could travel through time freely!
In the memory pieces that he had retrieved from the Red Pole, the development of the training technology of the Pangu Universe had always been excellent. From the Primeval Civilization to the Pioneer Civilization, from the Pioneer Civilization to the Pangu Civilization, and from the Pangu Civilization to the Human Civilization, the gap between the two civilizations was not large. But Ou Yezi’s time-traveling technology had risen to a whole new level and surpassed all the species and civilizations in history. It was unbelievably strong.
Alright. Let’s say that he was really that strong. The second contradiction appeared. How could such an unparalleled expert who was above the Pangu Clan, the Pioneer Civilization, and even the Primeval Civilization be killed by a crystal train when he had just transmigrated to the 40,000th century of Cultivation?
Even if there was an excuse that time travel was harmful to the body, it was still too absurd!
Even if he was killed by the train, his soul was still as strong as ever. How could it have been swallowed by the ignorant young Vulture? Was it because Li Yao’s soul came from Earth? It was too simple!
Even if all of this was true, even if Ou Yezi could really travel through time and was killed by a car the moment he transmigrated, and even if his soul was weak to the point where even possessing a youth would result in backlash, the most inconceivable question was, why would a “Tree of Souls” appear in the depths of Li Yao’s brain after he had devoured Ou Yezi’s remnant soul? It was as if it had been delivered to Li Yao’s doorstep for him to cultivate and increase his strength.
With that in mind, there was absolutely no scientific logic to the whole thing!
In the memories of the Red Pole Star, Li Yao had considered the question before.
However, Ou Yezi’s remnant soul had been obediently staying in the depths of Li Yao’s brain. Not only did it not cause the slightest bit of trouble, it had also provided great assistance for Li Yao’s series of adventures, upgrades, and battles. Together with a series of schemes, challenges, and disasters, Li Yao was overwhelmed and exhausted. As time went by, Li Yao tossed the matter to the back of his mind and got used to it.
“So, there is no Ou Yezi?”
Red Pole asked solemnly.
“Ou Yezi, the leader of the Hundred Smelting Guild, naturally exists. Moreover, tens of thousands of years ago in the Pangu Universe, he once conducted a failed experiment, causing the entire mountain gate to be blown up. He himself was blown to pieces and died without a grave.”
The will of the planet said, “However, he was not a ‘time traveler’. Whatever experiment he conducted at that time had nothing to do with time travel. In short, I only needed such an identity. Therefore, I gathered all the information and picked the most suitable ghost. That’s all.”
