Chapter 2806: Slaughterhouse of Humanity

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Li Yao gazed into the distance and scanned the appearance of the Psychic Temple with the monitoring crystal cameras on the shell of the shuttle, his own vitality, and his soul.

In the blink of an eye, he fell into the enormous, vast, deep, and unpredictable force field created by the Psychic Temple.

The body of the temple was an asteroid floating in the endless sea of stars, which had been hollowed millions of years ago. Complicated honeycombs were everywhere inside the temple. Judging from the appearance, it had been shaped into the shape of a human head.

No. Not a head, but the head of another intelligent creature. The head of a devil!

It had tentacles and long hair that looked like vipers. Dense sucking discs were growing on its thick hair, which was dancing crazily in the vacuum.

Against the long hair was a pair of eyes that almost occupied half of the face. Even the pupils were carved out vividly. The pupils were divided into nine levels, like interconnected caves leading to another mysterious universe.

In the middle of the two enormous eyes was a weird bump that looked both like a rune on his forehead and a third eye that had not been opened yet. Although the third eye had not been opened yet, Li Yao was still under tremendous mental pressure, as if the third eye would pierce through his disguise,

tear apart his soul, and dissect his entire life!

It did not have ears. Where a human being’s ears should be, it had grown two clusters of organs that looked both like stamens and like flames. Li Yao estimated that the owner of the statue had gotten rid of the phase where soundwaves were used to transmit information and simply received each other’s

brainwaves. The stamens were the organs that received the brainwaves.

Below the face, it had a mouth like that of human beings. It seemed that the soul of a human being had to absorb energy from food no matter how strong it was. However, its bloody mouth was as terrifying as its eyes and long hair. Rings of sharp teeth were everywhere inside its mouth, which was almost

round. It was like a super crusher that could tear apart any material, including steel.

All the features combined gave people an indescribable sense of horror. Even though Li Yao knew that it was fake, he still couldn’t help but shake his soul and his belief. In a trance, he felt that an enormous star fortress was really the head of a certain primeval devil.

“Was the temple built in the image of the king of the Pangu Clan?”

Li Yao thought to himself, Or is it because it has combined the appearances of the experts in the Pangu Civilization Alliance?

While he was deep in thought, the shuttle had entered the interior that was full of tusks through the bloody mouth of the head of the devil.

As if it had been swallowed by the devil.

“Chi

The super-large airlock was lowered slowly behind him. The anti-gravity unit of the shuttle spurted out clusters of white air currents and landed in the center of the space port inside the temple.

They were sort of ‘special investigators’ from the Heresy Interrogation Bureau and represented the will of the Heresy Interrogation Bureau or even the Great Sage. Naturally, a lot of staff of the Psychic Temple and the high priests in charge of the temple had been waiting and leading the way, providing

them with the highest clearance to check everything.

Li Yao was not interested in the case of the puppet king yet.

His attention was focused on the floating carrier not far away.

On his left, the carriers brought a lot of captives of the Star Ocean Imperium from the frontline. Those captives had not lost their emotions, desires, and self-awareness yet. The strong ones were roaring and struggling hard, while the old, the weak, the women, and the children were crying and desperate.

But regardless of their strength, they were all confined by shackles that had been electrified. Some of the more disobedient ones were even handcuffed. There was no way out for them.

Countless captives of the Star Ocean Imperium, escorted by a bunch of emotionless soldiers of the Sanctuary, were crying, screaming, cursing, and staggering toward the depths of the temple.

On his right, a few other teams of fresh members of the Star Glory Federation staggered to him in neat rows and boarded the carrier that had just been emptied.

There was a confused smile on their faces, and there was nothing except obedience and loyalty in their eyes. They were wearing different colored uniforms according to the different tribes of the Water, Wood, Gold, Fire, and Earth’. Other than the minor difference, there was nothing different about them.

They were like… a bunch of spiritual puppets that had just been assembled on a magical equipment assembly line.

The captives on the left were even more frightened and furious when they saw the newcomers of the Sanctuary Alliance on the right. They struggled hard and shouted, trying to attract the attention of the captives on the right. But because they were too excited, they were soon foaming at the mouth

because of the electric arcs triggered by the shackles.

The new soldiers of the Holy Alliance on the right, on the other hand, kept their eyes straight and strode forward. Even when they noticed the miserable appearance of the captives on the left, there was not the slightest change in their gloomy eyes. They continued marching forward mechanically.

In Li Yao’s telepathic thoughts, the two lines were different, too.

The line of imperial captives on the left was like a colorful, surging river full of intimidating tides and colorful swirls.

The line of the new soldiers of the Holy Alliance on the right, on the other hand, was like a frozen and dry river. The water was flowing lethargically and could not raise any waves.

“Are the new soldiers on the right the captives of the Star Ocean Imperium?

Deep in thought, Li Yao tried to control his fluctuating emotions. “Ship after ship of captives of the Star Ocean Imperium were transported to this place. After days and nights of refinement, they turned into the loyal and docile ‘tools’ on the left and shipped out one ship after another. They were either

shipped to the dark mines or the frontline that looked like a meat grinder. They were also shipped to the harsh environment, the narrow space, and the bottom level of the dilapidated starships that were full of venomous gas and sewage. They became the fuel that drove the evil machine that was the

Sanctuary!

Li Yao noticed that the members of the yaksha squad seemed to know the truth about the Psychic Temple, but their reactions were different.

“Major’ Chu Zhixiao had known that she had undergone memory-removal surgery in places such as the Psychic Temple. She was only confused for a moment, but she was determined again after fooling herself.

“Seven Star’ Guan Qixing, on the other hand, did not have any abnormal reactions. His soul was very stable from the beginning to the end. He was probably one of those typical maniacs who only knew how to think about problems related to technology. As for ethics beyond technology, it had absolutely

nothing to do with him.

But ‘Black Dream’ Yun Haixin was as furious as Li Yao, to the point that she was clenching her fists.

Yes. He was an Immortal Cultivator. He was a citizen of the imperium. The lambs waiting to be butchered were his compatriots.

Although the people of the imperium were not particular about camaraderie, at the very least, all the Immortal Cultivators had their own dignity. With Yun Haixin’s wisdom, she was well aware that there was no way that she could get out of being a dog for the people of the Star Glory Federation. Was it

really fun to live such an ignoble life?

Li Yao was more and more confused about what kind of force had confined Yun Haixin in the Sanctuary Alliance and made her serve her mortal enemy unwillingly.

However, compared with Yun Haixin, the one that baffled him the most was Yuan Kou.

Yuan Kou was scared.

Although there was not the slightest hint of fear on his face, Li Yao could clearly feel the shivering of Yuan Kou’s soul. The super beast that could punch through three to five layers of plate armor was shivering like a scared little boy.

What was going on?

Li Yao remembered what Yuan Kou had said yesterday.

He said that the puppet king had told him in the illusion—”l know what you are scared of.”

Then, what was Yuan Kuo scared of exactly?

With a stomach full of questions, Li Yao and the four members of the yaksha squad walked into the main hall of the Psychic Temple and saw a nightmarish scene.

Thousands of metal pillars hundreds of meters high were standing on the two sides of the main palace. Every pillar seemed to be extending countless branches, on which almost twenty metal cocoons were growing, The metal cocoons were about two to three meters long and between five meters. Through

the translucent shell, one could see that they were filled with some kind of thick liquid in which human beings were crouching like babies.

Dense runes were carved on the shell of the metal cocoon. There was something that looked like a progress bar at the bottom of the metal cocoon. At first, it was bloody red, but as the progress bar gradually lengthened, the redness gradually dimmed and tured into a vague green.

A lot of lifts and floating discs rose and fell among the pillars, branches, and metal cocoons, carrying countless emotionless workers. When the progress bar on one of the metal cocoons turned green, they would lift it up, open the hatch, and bring out the human beings inside. After simple cleaning and

debugging, they locked another human being who was struggling in fury and fear inside.

Through the translucent cover, one could vaguely see that, in the beginning, the people locked inside were still jumping and slapping the cover hard. But the thick liquid seemed to contain the constituents of powerful hypnotizing drugs, which soon made them lose the ability to resist and fall asleep. They

could not help but curl up like babies.

As far as Li Yao could see, at least a hundred thousand people were receiving such special modifications.

In the places beyond the range of his crystal cameras, countless feelings, desires, and selves were being butchered brutally!

Li Yao could clearly sense that the most intense emotions of human beings were blossoming like flowers in a burning wind, only to be torn apart and burnt into ash, turning into clusters of grey mist.

This place was clearly a slaughterhouse for human beings!
