Chapter 2655: Ultimate Benevolence Is Not Right!

“Cut the crap!”

Li Yao was too concerned about Li Jialing to be convinced by Wuying Qi 3.0 easily. The man looked agreeable a moment ago, but Li Yao felt that his white robe was even more dreadful than the evil version with the black fog. “What are you doing exactly? Set me free!”

“Don’t be hasty. Like I said, this memory palace will collapse when the moment comes.”

Wuying Qi 3.0 said calmly, “Besides, what can you do even if you go out? The competition of beliefs is too dangerous. Nobody can help Li Jialing right now. Your belief is not his. He can only weather through it with his own willpower.

“As to what we’re trying to do… I estimate that Wuying Qi 2.0 is only looking for an heir for himself at the end of his life, just like I am.

“So, why don’t you hear me out before you make a choice? You don’t strike me as such an impatient man!”

“Enough of the bulls*it. I can listen to you, but you have to answer my question first!”

Staring at Wuying Qi 3.0, Li Yao thought for a moment and asked, “What status are you in right now? Are you a Cultivator or an Immortal Cultivator?”

“While I do not agree with such an oversimplified way of classification, if I have to choose between the two…”

Wuying Qi 3.0 said with a smile, “I think I’ve finally returned to where I started after all the things I’ve been through, and I’m now a Cultivator again.”

“Oh? Is that so?”

Li Yao looked at him suspiciously. “Are you sure?”

“Very positive. Probably nobody in the whole universe is as certain as me.”

Wuying Qi 3.0 heaved a long sigh. “The path of the Cultivators sometimes results in the waste of resources, but the path of the Immortal Cultivators is even more severely flawed, because my purpose when I created it was impure. It can only serve as an expedience but cannot guide a civilization to sail against the incessant tides in the universe.

“I was wrong, Li Yao. My experience in the past thousand years has made me realize how selfish and naive I was. I am truly unpardonable!”

“Well…”

Li Yao scratched his chin suspiciously. “You sound rather sincere. That’s the right attitude!”

“Of course I’m sincere. This is the ultimate answer that I’ve reached after I dissected and analyzed my thoughts and my mind.”

Wuying Qi 3.0’s eyes were so clear that they were almost invisible. “Rest assured. I’m totally different from Wuying Qi 2.0. He intends to disseminate the true path of immortality to every corner of the universe with the Gold Crystal Pyramid and the enhancement of the star, thereby reigning mankind forever. Even I abhor him!

“I’ve truly repented and changed! Now, I’m sincere, selfless, and righteous, and I consider things for the overall interest of mankind. When I was awakened, I immediately realized how hilarious and shameless I used to be!

“The Gold Crystal Pyramid was a piece of precious stellar-level magic equipment, and the true path of immortality is a wrong, inferior thought! To launch the true path of immortality with the Gold Crystal Pyramid is a crime to mankind and to the future!”

“That’s right! That’s right! Well said!”

Li Yao slapped his thigh and laughed. “Look, you have truly understood a lot of things. If you had realized it earlier, we wouldn’t have needed to fight at all, and we could’ve created a beautiful tomorrow for mankind together, didn’t we?”

“You don’t say! Thankfully, you and I managed to stop Wuying Qi 2.0’s evil ‘Next Sun Plan’.”

Wuying Qi 3.0 also smiled sincerely. “Now, it’s time to optimize the Next Sun Plan so that it can play a better role for mankind. The Gold Crystal Pyramid is too precious to send the evil and wrong ideas of the Immortal Cultivators to mankind. It should inoculate the righteous ideas of the Cultivators in everyone!”

Li Yao’s smile was frozen, as if a heavy brick had just been smashed at his face.

“What did you say?”

Li Yao’s face was twisting. “What do you want?”

“It’s not about me, but you.”

Wuying Qi 3.0 blinked at Li Yao and smiled. “It’s now or never! You won’t have a second chance! Li Yao, haven’t you always wished to spread the ideas of the Cultivators to the whole universe so that mankind can share peace and prosperity under the light of Cultivators. Now is your best opportunity!

“Blackstar the Great is about to die, but the Gold Crystal Pyramid is not destroyed. If it could be used to send wrong thoughts, it can certainly be used to send correct ideas too. I’ll teach you the ways to operate and even modify the Gold Crystal Pyramid. The precious knowledge will all be yours. You can benefit mankind with it and bring infinite brightness to them!”

Sacred and pure brightness beamed out of Wuying Qi’s white robe.

Yet such a glorious image was even creepier than the Wuying Qi who was shrouded in blood and fog for Li Yao.

Li Yao couldn’t help but step back away, and he was still terrorized. He finally realized something. Why was he so stupid enough to believe that Wuying Qi could change? This Wuying Qi 3.0 was the evilest Wuying Qi of all!

“Are you indicating that I should inherit your cause and continue brainwashing mankind?”

Li Yao murmured, “That’s impossible. I would never do that. If I really do that, would I be any different from you?”

“Of course you are different. How can this be brainwashing?”

Wuying Qi 3.0 smiled. “The true path of immortality is wrong and evil. Wuying Qi was atrocious and heinous when he tried to inculcate evil thoughts in everyone.

“However, the path of the Cultivators is correct, righteous, bright, and kind, isn’t it? You admit that, don’t you? You’re willing to defend it with your life, aren’t you?

“If so, how can sharing your correct, righteous, bright, kind, pure, great, and benevolent ideas with the public to improve the moral level of the whole civilization, finish the Immortal Cultivators with the minimal cost, and reilluminate the universe with the light of Cultivators be called brainwashing?

“Don’t be nervous, and there’s no need to be so vigilant. Like I said, technology and tools are neutral. A blade can both be used to kill and to save people, depending on who’s holding it. Isn’t it the same for the Gold Crystal Pyramid? When it’s in the hands of Wuying Qi, it would destroy a civilization; but if it’s in the hands of a great hero like you, it will be a marvelous tool to save the civilization, isn’t it?” said Wuying Qi 3.0 casually with a smile.

Li Yao, however, felt that he had been frozen. He could not say anything.

“Fine. I know that the precious ‘legacy’ is too unexpected. It’s totally understandable that you can’t accept it for the time being.”

Wuying Qi 3.0 floated toward Li Yao, and Li Yao could not keep the distance between them no matter how he stepped back. Eventually, he haunted Li Yao’s shadow and whispered to his ears, “Do you want to hear my life story?”

“No! Never!”

Though he was only a shadow, Li Yao was still creeped out. “Would you please go away? Two men shouldn’t be so intimate, alright?

“I do not want to hear your life story. Nor am I interested in your worthless legacy. If you really consider yourself a ‘righteous and kindhearted Wuying Qi’, why don’t you just die in peace and stop annoying me?”

“Hehe…”

Wuying Qi 3.0 did slightly separate from him. With the same casual but vicious smile on his face, he seemed to have seen through everything. “How can you learn the history between the Supreme Emperor and the Blood God, the secrets of the origin of the Covenant Alliance, the location of the Supreme Emperor’s mausoleum, and the way to become the master of the Gold Crystal Pyramid if you don’t want to listen to my life story?”

“Wait, I’m truly interested in the first few things, but why would I become the master of the Gold Crystal Pyramid?”

His eyes bloodshot, Li Yao breathed heavily and gnashed his teeth as he said, “The Gold Crystal Pyramid is too evil to be controlled by a human. The first thing I’m going to do after I wake up is to demolish it!

“So, just drop it! No matter how you deceive me or make deals with me with your secrets, I won’t become the master of the Gold Crystal Pyramid. Never!”

“Deceive? Deals? You’re wrong, Li Yao.”

Wuying Qi 3.0 looked down at him, with the domination of Blackstar the Great again. “I do not need to deceive or make deals with you. In fact, if you calm down and think about it, you will volunteer to become the master of the Gold Crystal Pyramid. You’ll even beg me to teach you how to control the Gold Crystal Pyramid and to give you the remainder of the Book of Revelation. But rest assured, we’re both fellow Cultivators. I will tell you everything without you begging. After all, you’ve done me a favor, and this is for the civilization of mankind.”

“It’s true that old habits die hard.”

Li Yao snorted and said, “You’re trying to brainwash me even when you’re dying? I’m rather interested in finding out how I would voluntarily become the master of the Gold Crystal Pyramid. Come on, whatever trick you may have, just bring it on!”
