Forty Millenniums of Cultivation

“You swallowed the chaotic data pieces of the Fuxis?”

Li Yao was greatly alarmed.

The data pieces of the Fuxi Clan were not something that could be absorbed easily.

Although the core database of the Fuxis had been shattered and the underlying logic structure had collapsed, which equaled to the annihilation of their soul, they no longer had independent self-awareness.

However, the remaining data and information were too enormous. Some of the data fragments might still have commands that were similar to the instincts of ferocious beasts or even viruses.

The natural instincts of ferocious beasts were to attack and swallow, and the natural instincts of viruses were to corrupt and spread. It would be extremely troublesome if even a tiny bit of the virus touched one’s body.

it was like although Lu Qingchen had ‘killed’ the Fuxi and swallowed its ‘body’, he was still influenced by the natural instincts of the Fuxi and gradually turned into a second one.

Li Yao had tried everything he could, even at the cost of his own life, so that Xiao Ming and Wen Wen would not be corrupted by the data pieces of the Fuxis. He did not expect that he would fail in the end.

Or rather, in order to save him, Xiao Ming and Wenwen took the initiative to come back and face the ‘instincts’ of the primeval beasts together with him!

However, the current situation seemed to be slightly different from what he had expected. Although Xiao Ming’s appearance had changed a lot, and the core database was brand new, he was still himself. There was no

‘Fuxi’s scent’ that was too intense.

“Yes. Not just me, Wenwen, the Fist King, and even my father absorbed a lot of the chaotic data left by the Fuxis and made a brand-new breakthrough.

Xiao Ming smiled. “Didn’t Daddy notice?”

“he”

Of course, Li Yao sensed that something was wrong with his soul. Looking at his palm that was made of thousands of streams of data and information, he was dazed for a moment and mumbled, “How long was | asleep?

What happened during that time?”

“Dad has slept for forty-two days, seven hours, and twenty-five seconds. A lot of things have happened in the Pangu Universe, the imperium, the Sanctuary Alliance, and the federation, including your family and

friends. Don’t be hasty. I will tell you everything one by one.

Xiao Ming explained with a smile, “As you said, the ‘Fuxi data’ is a very dangerous thing. As a super artificial intelligence that awakened its consciousness in the primeval era and survived and accumulated for hundreds

of thousands of years, ordinary human beings and information creatures such as us would not be able to control themselves if they were blinded by greed and swallowed the data. But as time went by, the only outcome

would be that they would be corrupted by the data and end up being its slave.

“But if so many of us divide it among ourselves and absorb part of the ‘Fuxi data’, it is very likely that we will digest it and seize its memories, algorithms, computational ability, and permissions without being affected by

it.

“In the battle more than a month ago, Lu Qingchen had already swallowed the database of the Fuxis. If I’m not mistaken, such a way of swallowing an elephant with a snake will certainly lead to indigestion and even

many side effects. Eventually, Lu Qingchen will become a slave of the Fuxis.

“However, the appearance of the Fist King, especially when he poured the power of his magic into his iron fist and punched into Lu Qingchen’s soul brutally, triggered the incompatibility between Lu Qingchen’s data

and the data of the Fuxis in advance and made Lu Qingchen spit out a lot of the data of the Fuxis. According to our estimation after the incident, Lu Qingchen spat out approximately half to two thirds of the data of the

Fuxis. In the end, it was a blessing in disguise for the guy. He was able to let go of his burdens and travel light. He regained 100% control over his soul and firmly suppressed the remaining one third of the data of the

Fuxis. In the end, he left without a trace and ran away.

“As for the two thirds of the data, if my father had been the only one carrying it, you wouldn’t have been able to bear it no matter how strong your soul was. Even if you were lucky enough to escape, you would’ve been

corrupted and harassed in the days to come. In the end, you would’ve been able to think in exactly the same way as the Fuxi, or even your ‘belief’. By then, you would’ve turned into a different Fuxi.

“Thankfully, we are back.

“I, Wenwen, the Fist King, Dad, and, yes, the mental devil. When the five of us face two thirds of the data pieces of the Fuxis together, it is equivalent to each of us swallowing one tenth of the ‘belief’, ‘will’, or ‘thought

process’ of the Fuxis. Only then will the consequences be less serious. At least for now, we can still suppress it and try to refine it.

“T see.”

Li Yao took a long breath in relief.

He thought back to the battle more than a month ago. It had been a perilous one, with barely any chance of survival. Had it not been for the intervention of coincidences and unexpected factors, his bones might’ve

been beating like drums.

Thankfully, thankfully!

However, when he thought of Lu Qingchen, Li Yao’s soul tightened again. “Right. Where is Lu Qingchen? Where did he run to after absorbing one third of the data and permissions of the Fuxis?”

“I don’t know.”

Xiao Ming said, “Lu Qingchen was very smart. He knew that he only had one third of the data and permissions of the Fuxi fleet and that he had been seriously wounded by the boxing champion when he was just reborn.

His soul power and computational ability had both hit rock bottom, and he was not able to control the entire fleet.

“Therefore, he only took away ‘Descender’’, a super giant soldier that the Fuxis prepared for him, from “Ultimate Rescue’. He also controlled the five supreme fortresses and escaped through space jumps under the cover

of many starships.

“He must not have run back to the Holy Alliance, because the Holy Alliance has drained all the resources of every Sector under their command in preparation for the final war. Right now, most of the habitable planets

inside the territory of the Holy Alliance are on the verge of collapse. In fact, if not for the indifference and meekness unique to the people of the Holy Alliance, their entire society would’ve collapsed a long time ago.

“Even if he returns to the center of the Sanctuary, he won’t be able to get any useful supplies, nor will he be able to gather a second fleet of the Fuxi fleet. Therefore, Lu Qingchen simply abandoned the entire Sanctuary

and drifted to the depths of the dark sea of stars with nothing but the five supreme fortresses. Nobody knows where he has run to and what he is planning to do next. Theoretically speaking, he should not be able to

stir any trouble.

“If that’s the case, his future will be bleak. Although the sea of stars is vast, there are only a few places with resources. The five supreme fortresses are five giant beasts that consume astronomical resources every day.

Even though he has the data and permissions of the Fuxis, he does not have the manpower, resources, and resources. What can he do even if he has five super fortresses?”

Li Yao was somewhat moved, not knowing how to comment on Lu Qingchen and his future.

The star fortress alone was useless.

Without resource planets, habitable planets, or even bases for docking and maintenance, the five star fortresses would collapse very quickly. The larger the fortress was, the more resources it would consume. The

more complicated the personnel were, the faster they would collapse.

Unless Lu Qingchen found a new path before the five supreme fortresses collapsed, he was merely struggling at death’s door.

Therefore, Xiao Ming was right. Lu Qingchen was probably a rabbit whose tail wouldn’t grow long enough to cause any trouble.

tt was a pity that Lu Qingchen had missed so many opportunities and chose the darkest, most resolute, and toughest path.

“Damn it. My charisma is so strong, and I’ve been trying my best to persuade him. Why won’t Lu Qingchen jump into my arms? Why? There’s no reason at all!”

Li Yao was truly baffled.

However, the problems that he had to think about right now were too many and too messy. Lu Qingchen, who had lost his foundation and turned into a drifting duckweed, could be saved for later.

“Does that mean that the defense of the capital city is over and we have finally secured it?”

Li Yao asked, “Lu Qingchen only took away five supreme fortresses. What about the remaining fleet of the Fuxis? The fleet was built up by the Fuxis after thousands of years of hard work. The essence of the entire

Sanctuary Alliance should’ve been intact in the previous battle against the imperial guards of the Star Ocean Imperium. What happened to the fleet and the thousands of soldiers of the Star Ocean Imperium? Also, is

the expedition army of the federation okay? Did the Immortal Cultivators of the Star Ocean Imperium do anything stupid?”

tt was Li Yao’s biggest worry.

Although he swore to Lu Qingchen that the little emperor, Li Jialing, would not betray him…

But Lu Qingchen did have a point. Li Jialing was Li Jialing, the revolutionaries were revolutionaries, and the Imperium of True Human Beings was the Imperium of True Human Beings.

Li Jialing might not be able to control all the revolutionaries, and the revolutionaries might not be able to represent the entire imperium. After all, there was a thousand-year-long grudge between the cultivators and

the Immortal Cultivators. Just because they could let go of their past and fight side by side when faced with a common enemy did not mean that they would not fight each other for nothing after the enemy collapsed.

tt was one thing for the leadership to think that way, and it was another for the bottom-level stereotypes and conflicts of interest. Sometimes, the conflicts between the bottom-level Cultivators and the Immortal

Cultivators might turn into apocalyptic flames that swept the entire universe.

if Li Yao beat away Lu Qingchen with the iron fist of justice in front of him, only to find that the federation and the imperium were fighting hard as Lu Qingchen had said, it would be quite embarrassing.

“The two questions share a common answer.

Xiao Ming looked at Li Yao, his eyes glittering with confidence and stubbornness, which reminded Li Yao of the aggressiveness of his childhood. “The fleet of the Fuxi fleet still exists and has not been crushed by the

federation or the imperium. Right now, it is firmly under our control!.
