“You were bluffing after all!

Li Yao’s soul, which was getting thinner and thinner, blinked like hydrogen and sent a powerful roar to Fuxi. “You haven’t completely melded with Lu Qingchen and achieved the so-called ‘perfect upgrade’. There is still incompatibility between your database and his soul!

and, and—

“I don’t know how long we’ve been fighting in the virtual universe of Chaos. In my mind, billions of years have passed in a trance. But in the real world, three to five days have passed, if not more than half a month.

“Have you conquered the capital city yet?

“Tm afraid you haven’t. If you had taken over the capital city, you would’ve shown me the desperate scenes a long time ago and further undermined my belief. Since you didn’t, it means that you haven’t succeeded and the capital city hasn’t fallen yet!

“Three to seven days ago, or even ten to fifteen days ago, you boasted to me that your fleet was about to break into the orbit of Empyrean Terminus. You even bombarded Empyrean Terminus on a large scale and forced mankind to surrender with such cruel methods. But right now, after so many days,

mankind still hasn’t surrendered. Humanity is still fighting!

“Since so many human beings are still fighting, how can I give up hope? Since you are far from calculating the time of the battle, how are you so sure that you can calculate the outcome of the battle?

“Therefore, stop bragging. You will never conquer the capital city, and you will never defeat mankind!

Li Yao’s soul finally released the last bit of his telepathic thoughts in the continuous ‘hydrogen flash’ and pierced into the cluster of brightness in front of him.

In the dazzling brightness, he saw everything. He hacked into the command system and billions of monitoring crystal cameras of the Fuxi fleet and saw everything that was happening in the battlefield of the stars through the main perspective of the fleet!

He saw that, although the imperial guards and the deep-sea fleet defending the capital city had been torn apart by the fleet and many starships were fighting on their own, they did not intend to surrender or run away even though they were all alone and had run out of ammunition. Instead, they poured

the last bit of fuel into the engine compartment of the starship and charged at the enemy in the most dazzling exhaust flames, using their bodies made of iron as the last bullets.

He saw that many starships of the imperial guards had entered brutal hand-to-hand combat after running out of ammunition and food. The overwhelming crystal suits and space shuttles were attacking the five supreme fortresses of the Fuxi Fleet like raindrops.

Stimulated by the fact that they had nowhere to run to, the Immortal Cultivators finally returned to the style of their ancestors a thousand years ago. They rushed into the densest area of the soldiers of the Star Glory Federation and detonated their super-compressed crystal reactor, dying together with

the enemy.

When the blood spread out hundreds of square meters like an avalanche and splashed on the faces of every member of the Star Glory Federation, those who had been brainwashed so many times that their nerves were almost burnt finally showed confusion and fear.

Li Yao also noticed that colorful ripples were popping up every now and then in the vast space zone around the Empyrean Terminus Sector. Small fleets, or even starships, were appearing one after another.

Reinforcements!

They were not Lei Chenghu, Bai Xinghe, or the reinforcements of the Star Glory Federation. They were not even the main force warships or the super arsenals. They were merely destroyers and semi-armed merchant ships. They should be the reinforcements of the dozens of Sectors and the Seven Seas

Space Zone nearby.

It seemed that, however foolish and selfish the Immortal Cultivators were, they had realized that there was no room for compromise with the people of the Star Glory Federation. If they were not annihilated in the capital city, other Sectors would not have been able to defend themselves, either. It was

only a matter of time before they fell.

He would rather die than become a puppet without emotions, memories, and self-awareness. That was perhaps the bottom line of all mankind.

There was no need to mention Empyrean Terminus.

It was true that the fleet of the Fuxi fleet had controlled part of the orbit of Empyrean Terminus and bombarded the surface of the planet brutally through the orbit. Death rays tore through the atmosphere like a storm, burning countless splendid cities to the ground.

But the people of the imperium did not yield. Their leader, the supreme command center and the emperor in the imperial city, was still issuing commands and making effective resistance. The emperor, who had just ascended to the throne, did not run away. He was not even willing to go to the second

command center below the ground. Instead, he stood in the sky of the imperial city in his crystal suit and his giant soldier, guarding against the bombardment from the synchronous orbit.

The so-called orbital bombardment seemed to be able to turn the gravity of a planet into its sharpest weapon, but in fact, it was quite costly.

It was because the bomber could only count on their starships. However magnificent the fleet was, it was nothing compared to the entire planet.

The defenders could exploit the resources of the entire planet and the resources of the attackers. Although they would risk damaging the magnetic field and the atmosphere of the planet, it would take decades or even hundreds of years before the risk was fully realized.

In fact, in most cases where the attackers occupied a planet through orbital bombardment, it was the attackers who threatened and the defenders who surrendered.

If the defenders held on to their last drop of blood and refused to surrender, it would be very difficult for the defenders to occupy the entire planet.

It was true that a lot of members of the assault team had been deployed through the assault cabins, which were the most fearless killing machines.

However, the Immortal Cultivators who had unleashed the pride of human beings would not retreat in the face of death, either.

They were all killing machines, but killing machines without souls were still different from killing machines without souls.

Li Yao saw the scene where Li Jialing tuned into a streak of gold and soared in the sky of the capital city through the perspective of Fuxi. He could not help but feel that it was a lifetime ago.

‘When he first met his dear little brother, he was still a confused young man who lacked determination and purpose.

In just a few years, not only had he received Wu Yingqi’s legacy, his strength had also advanced by leaps and bounds. More importantly, he seemed to have found his target and possessed a precious belief.

His younger brother had grown so much. As his elder brother, Li Yao could not let his younger brother’s growth go to waste. He had to create greater room for growth for his younger brother, for the Immortal Cultivators who had just transformed and were heading in a good direction, and for the human

beings who were about to welcome peace!

“Jialing, I didn’t expect you to be such an emperor.

“What was the force that kept you going under the bombardment of the fleet of the Fuxi Clan?

“You haven’t given up hope, haven’t given up your trust in Brother Yao, and still believe that Brother Yao will appear in front of you, right?

“Even if it is just for your trust, for the brilliance that the Immortal Cultivators released at the last moment, for the great title of ‘the best expert of the Pangu Universe’, I will not be defeated!

BOOM!

Li Yao’s belief, soul, and will were completely melded, turning the illusionary ‘hydrogen flash’ into flames that seemed to be real and continued sweeping through the core of the Fuxi’s mind.

Suddenly, his soul sank as he saw a completely new and familiar scene.

He saw himself.

More precisely speaking, he was a body of flesh and blood that he had stored in the hibernation cabin.

Yes, what appeared in the picture was the bottom of the Gold Crystal Tower, his ‘Soul Launch Chamber’, and now the place where Xiao Ming and Wen Wen controlled the Spiritual Nexus and the crystal processors of the entire capital city. It was the ‘center nerves’ of the defense line of the capital city.

Xiao Ming and Wen Wen both had a frown on their face. They were curled up in the neural interaction liquid, their limbs twitching from time to time. Their expressions were extremely painful, as if they had fallen into an unfathomable nightmare.

Not good!

Li Yao’s heart tightened.

He did not have a real body right now. He was like a ‘parasite’ that was attached to the body of the Fuxi. The real world could only be observed through the main perspective of the Fuxi.

Since he could see Xiao Ming, Wen Wen, and his own picture at the bottom of the Gold Crystal Tower, it meant that Fuxi had torn apart the firewall of the Spiritual Nexus that Xiao Ming and Wen Wen had set up and hacked into the monitoring crystal cameras at the bottom of the Gold Crystal Tower, not

just the monitoring crystal cameras but also the super crystal processors at the bottom of the Gold Crystal Tower, including the brains of Xiao Ming and Wen Wen!

As it tumed out, before Li Yao realized what was going on, he felt that 108,000 balls of lightning had appeared around him at the same time. The crackling balls of lightning all crashed into the bottom of the Gold Crystal Tower through the invisible Spiritual Nexus.

The super crystal processors set up by Xiao Ming and Wen Wen were ignited and burnt into charred remains.

Xiao Ming and Wen Wen were moaning in the neural interaction liquid, too. Blood was flowing out of their eyes, nostrils, ears, and mouth.

From the underground to the ground, from the command center of the imperial city to the mainframe crystal processors of the military bases, from the cities on the ground to the towns and shelters below the ground, from the star bases that were still struggling to hold on to the broken defense fleet in

the synchronous orbit, the Spiritual Nexus of the imperial army was paralyzed. The lights were off, and the command center was in chaos. The cooling system of the power units was malfunctioning, leading to frequent explosions. It was like a trapped beast whose five senses had been deprived!

“That explains a lot. I was wondering why the capital city had such a solid defense system of the Spiritual Nexus, which was completely different from the firewall of the past thousand years according to the intelligence that I collected.

‘There was a vague smile in Fuxi’s voice. “It turns out that you two are quite interesting..
