Forty Millenniums of Cultivation

“Ihave the same feeling. It is not a normal strategy. The people of the Star Glory Federation seem to be implying that there will be no tomorrow after today, and we will be doomed when the war is over!

The mental devil added, “Although we don’t know how many resources are in the Sectors under the control of the Sanctuary Alliance, based on the number of Sectors in the beginning and the abundance of resources in the Star Glory Federation, which is also at the edge of the sea of stars, we estimate that

all the resources must’ve been consumed in order to maintain such an enormous fleet of the Fuxis in the dark space zone that is equivalent to a desert. The order in the rear is on the verge of collapse, if not already!

“But the people of the Star Glory Federation did not care about it at all. They mobilized their strongest troops in the very first wave and did not consider the long battle at all.

“It must be noted that the Imperium of True Human Beings controls hundreds of prosperous worlds in the center of the sea of stars. There’s no way that it would be defeated in a strategical war. Even if the main force of the imperium is defeated, it will take decades to occupy all the habitable planets and

maintain order.

“If we pour all our resources into it and exhaust our troops in such a short time, how are we going to clean up the mess even if the Star Glory Federation wins the war?

“This is destined to be a war without winners.

Li Yao mumbled, “Even if the Star Glory Federation wins, they will only bring destruction to the two parties and the entire universe. Damn. What are they up to exactly? Are they trying to destroy all mankin

“Maybe, yes.”

The mental devil was silent for a moment. Then it said softly, “Destroy all mankind and welcome the awakening of the gods. Give enough room for the resurrected Pangu Clan.”

Li Yao was silent, too. His soul was entangled by an enormous shiver and burning in fury.

“Twon’t let them.”

Li Yao’s soul waves condensed into sharp teeth and scratched them brutally. “The five old men have gone mad. I must stop them!”

With the help of the telepathic thoughts that had extended to more than a million kilometers away, Li Yao retreated into Ultimate Rescue like a real tentacle.

With his limited strength, it was impossible for him to deal with five supreme fortresses at the same time.

However, as the information center that connected the five supreme fortresses and the entire fleet of the Fuxis, the Ultimate Rescue, which was equivalent to the mainframe of the starship, could make a difference.

Li Yao’s soul split into thousands of threads and flooded into every pathway and every cabin of Ultimate Rescue through the crystal cables and the tubes.

Like a deadly virus, it invaded his body through his veins and nerves.

The targets that he focused his attention on were the places where the traffic and data were densest.

In his senses, the targets were like the confluence of glittering rivers or erupting volcanoes. It could not have been easier.

“Huh. What is this?”

Li Yao’s soul stopped in a spacious hangar.

He ‘thought’ and hacked into the monitoring crystal camera on the top of the hangar. From the high ground, he could see a magnificent and splendid figure, which was a giant more than thirty meters tall sitting on a giant maintenance rack.

“It’s the Giant God Soldier. So… so strong!”

Excitement beamed out of Li Yao’s eyes. He had never studied the Giant Soldiers of the Sanctuary before!

The giant soldier was in a translucent gold color. It was not the shallow and flamboyant gold that Li Yao had seen in the ‘Gold Eagle’, but the ‘black gold’ that was both glamorous and mysterious.

Its shape was slender and elegant. Its shoulders were extremely broad, and its waist, which was connected to the upper half of the body and the lower half of the body, was extremely thin. It even gave the feeling that one could hold it in one’s hand. What was strange was that such a structure did not seem

fragile at all. On the contrary, it added a bit of lightness and agility. Even though it was just sitting there, it seemed to be soaring into the sky and swimming in the sea of stars like a golden lightning.

Two golden whiskers more than ten meters long protruded out of the head of the golden mantis. They should be antennas that could significantly enhance the mental attack of the user.

Right now, countless magical equipment experts and maintenance puppets were climbing on its body and working hard to lift its plate armor and maintenance cover so that Li Yao would have a clear view of its delicate internal structure.

While dazzled and amazed, he was also baffled.

The ‘Heart of Black Hole’ and his ‘Arsonist’, which were apparently on the same level as Black Star Emperor Wu Yingqi, did not have a spiritual residence.

The ‘spiritual house’ was the cockpit where the pilot could crawl into and control the Giant God Soldier.

Generally speaking, according to the size and level of the Giant God Soldier, the shape of the spiritual residence was also very strange. Not all of them were on the chest.

For some of the bizarre-shaped Giant God Soldiers that were less than ten meters tall, and whose spiritual residences were less than two meters in diameter, it was not unusual that the user had to curl up like a baby.

But when Li Yao scanned the dark gold giant soldier carefully, he did not find any space half a meter in diameter that a dwarf could not crawl into.

“How come there are no spiritual residences?”

Li Yao was greatly confused. “Then what should the driver do? Should they stand on the shoulder of the Giant God Soldier and control it remotely? But the situation on the battlefield is ever-changing. The interference of the spiritual energy of both sides is very intense. The remote control is extremely

unreliable. They will be jammed and cut off at any moment!”

What a weird design. I wonder, who is the master of the dark gold giant soldier exactly? One of the five great masters?

“That’s not right. The real bodies of the five great masters should’ve stayed in their supreme fortress and wouldn’t have left easily. Even if they had their own Giant God Soldiers, they wouldve stayed in their own fortress for examination and maintenance. There was no reason for them to send them to a

super communication and command starship such as Ultimate Rescue.

“Therefore, the master of the dark gold weapon must be on Ultimate Rescue!

“Although I didn’t see the magnificent performance of the dark gold giant soldier with my own eyes, I can tell from its precise structure and the dangerous aura it exudes that the giant soldier is of a very high level, if not unimaginable. Then, who is its master?

“Was my guess correct? Is there really a ‘Sixth Great Maste!

Li Yao thought of something and typed a big question mark. He withdrew his soul and looked for the traces of the four members of the yaksha squad.

‘When he was performing the four-dimensional jump, he had left vague traces in the souls of the four of them, which allowed him to lock onto them like mysterious beacons.

Chu Zhixiao, Yun Haixin, Yuan Kou, and Guan Qixing were brought to different treatment rooms according to their backgrounds and characteristics.

Thankfully, they were still loyal believers of the gods in theory and the contributors to the capture of the puppet king. Therefore, they were not treated too roughly for the time being. They were merely lying on the seats that were embedded with crystal processors, magical equipment units, and artificial

arms, with neural perception chips stuck to their foreheads, temples, and heads. Several guys in white uniforms who looked like Meditation Healers were questioning them.

It seemed that they had been hypnotized.

However, they all had strong souls and resolute minds. Li Yao estimated that it would take several days before they were ‘purified’.

One and a half days later, it would be the time of the final war according to Master Zhi Shan. Therefore, the ‘purification’ targeting them should be delayed.

Li Yao still had enough time to help Chu Zhixiao and the rest of them awaken their ‘self!

Not just Chu Zhixiao, not just Yuankou.

Centered at the four members of the yaksha squad, Li Yao’s telepathic thoughts spread out and soon discovered a lot of facilities that were similar to the ‘brainwashing capsules’ in the Psychic Temple.

The rows of metal cocoons were well-arranged. Although they were much smaller than the ones in the Mediumship Temple, the scent of the people crouching inside was dozens or even hundreds of times stronger than that of the ordinary ‘soldiers’ and ‘workers’. They were the real experts.

As Li Yao expected.

Chu Zhixiao and the other members of the yaksha squad were not the only ‘suspected infected’ that needed to be cleansed.

It was quite possible that everybody who had been in touch with the puppet king would be sent to this place. Purification was one of the reasons. More importantly, the virus that the puppet king planted in their brain could be analyzed to infer the methods of the puppet king, so that the origin and

essence of the puppet king could be figured out.

Li Yao gathered enough information and extended his telepathic thoughts to the deepest part of Ultimate Rescue from the hundreds of cold ‘brainwashing capsules’.

Now, it was time to look for the puppet king and the five supreme masters.

In the world of information and data, they were as eye-catching as burning torches in the dark night. Endless glittering torrents flooded in from all directions and reached the front of Ultimate Rescue, which should be the cockpit.

Li Yao’s telepathic thoughts, mixed in with the surging data, were as insignificant as a grain of sand ina flash flood.

Then, he ‘saw’ it.

He saw the super crystal processor that seemed to be made of stars.

It was a super crystal processor that he had never seen before, neither in the depths of Nuwa’s warship nor below the Gold Crystal Tower.

The cockpit of Ultimate Rescue was like a splendid temple. Thousands of dense, vaguely flowing runes were carved on the walls and extended to the deck, interweaving into a giant rune array that depicted the entire universe.

On the ‘cosmic rune arrays’, thousands of literal ‘crystal processors’ were floating, They were in the shape of countless brains carved out of the purest, most brilliant crystals.
