Forty Millenniums of Cultivation

“T, I, 1, sob sob sob!”

Han Te choked for a long time. His face was as red as a pig’s liver, and tears and snot were rolling down his face uncontrollably. He bowed to the Fist King and said, “Thank you. Thank you. Thank you so much, Master

Fist King. I didn’t expect that you would think so highly of me and be willing to help me selflessly. I—I really don’t know what to say. I’m—I’m so touched. I’m so loyal. I’m so considerate!

“Right. I want to apologize to you. I want to apologize to you solemnly!”

“Oh?”

The boxing champion asked calmly, “Why are you apologizing?”

“Because I once misunderstood you.”

Han Te wiped his snot and said honestly, “When I first got to know the Fist King, I was intimidated by your notoriety as the ‘Vile Bandit King’. I subconsciously thought that you must be a brutal, cunning, and cunning

bandit who was even more cunning than Master Yao, considering that you made a name for yourself in the Badlands and established a gang of super bandits from scratch.

“Therefore, at that time, I was really scared of you. I even talked about you with Liu Li in secret. I also warned Liu Li not to get too close to you in case you sold him out and he was counting the money for you!

“Now that I think about it, you are too naive. You are a high and mighty big shot who can summon the wind and summon the rain. You are omnipotent and can get whatever you want. If you cough lightly, a storm will

sweep through the entire evil land. Liu Li and I are just two nobodies. What value do we have that is worth your trouble?

“It’s true. After getting to know you for such a long time, I’ve discovered that you are not a cunning, cunning bandit at all. Instead, you are a prudent, gentle, honest, and reliable good man. You are simply a loyal elder. I

feel like I’ve been bathed in a spring breeze when I’m with you. Even a good-for-nothing brat like me has been helped by you wholeheartedly. Sigh. I really don’t know how I can repay you.

“It was my fault for misunderstanding you. I’ve kept it in the bottom of my heart like a sharp fishbone that I have to spit out. You don’t blame me, do you?”

Hehe. Don’t be silly. Why would I?”

The Fist King’s crystal eyes were glittering as he said casually, “You were right to be vigilant. Generally speaking, those who can struggle to survive the bloody storms of the evil land and even climb to the throne of

andit king step by step are definitely not the kind of people who eat vegetarian food and pray to Buddha. Each and every one of them is extremely scheming and evil. If I was born a human being, I should be the same.

But I am… something between a strong artificial intelligence and an information life. A new life form.

Even though I have awakened a real life, | am restricted by certain rules. You can understand them as the ‘morality of the life of information’. The most important rule is that you cannot deceive other people.

“As long as you learn how to ask questions and enter the correct prerequisites, I will absolutely not lie to you. I will definitely provide the correct answer.”

“Huh?”

Han Te blinked and did not quite understand. “What do you mean?”

“It means that, if the emperor of the imperium, Li Jialing, is your biggest love rival, and your ultimate purpose at any cost is to defeat him, learning magic is your best choice.

The boxing champion said seriously, “I’ve activated all the crystal processors under my control and calculated carefully. As long as you study magic wholeheartedly with your life, your odds of winning are at least 80%

in the competition between you and Li Jialing. The odds are very high.

“Assuming that Liuli had to choose between you and Li Jialing to be the guardian of her life, it was more likely that she would choose you as a great sorcerer.

“And during this period of time when you are practicing magic, I will absolutely keep my promise and help you resist all the scumbags who are lunging at Liu Li.

“I guarantee that every word above is 100% true, and if you have any other questions, feel free to ask. As long as you ask the right question, | will give you the correct answer.

“What do you think? Do you have any concerns? Can you put everything aside and focus on learning magic now?”

“No. No. After the analysis of the Fist King, I feel that I have been enlightened. The road ahead of me is suddenly filled with brightness and hope. I will live up to the trust and enlightenment of the Fist King and learn

magic with my life!”

“It’s true!” Han Te shouted. “I feel that the boxing champion is so friendly and warm right now. He is like a guiding light for my life, or an amiable uncle next door!”

“I don’t like the title ‘Uncle’. Since fate has brought us together and we’ve been through so many life-and-death battles together, let’s just say that we are on equal footing.

The Fist King said, “You can think of me as an amiable big brother-next-door. If you have any thoughts that you are too embarrassed to share with others, you can come and talk to me at any time. No matter what

problems you encounter in your cultivation or what troubles you have in your life and relationship, I can help you analyze and resolve them. The most important thing is how to deal with your relationship with Liu Li. I

am even more obligated to help you. With my extraordinary computational ability, | have arranged everything perfectly so that you won’t act rashly and mess up such a good situation. If so, you will be in too much of a

hurry.”

“Yes, yes, yes.”

Han Te nodded in agreement. He thought for a moment and was somewhat embarrassed. “That’s not very appropriate. I don’t think I’m qualified to call the Fist King my brother.”

“It doesn’t matter. I’m not as old as you think.”

The Fist King said, “Although my core database has existed since a long time ago, and my predecessor, the self-upgraded combat puppet, has been fighting in the Badlands for almost a hundred years, including the

identity of ‘Fist King Lei Zonglie’, it was not long ago that I awakened my real life.

“In fact, I feel that I’ve only just begun the incredible journey of life. I’m still in the prime of my youth. I still have endless curiosity and thirst for knowledge about myself, the people around me, and the entire world. Just

like you, I’m stumbling, stumbling, and groping. Like a blind man groping for an elephant, I’m groping for the truth of myself and the world. I’m learning how to face my own heart and the vast universe. I’m learning how

to love and hate. I’m learning how to become a… real person. Maybe this is ten thousand times more difficult than learning magic, isn’t it?”

“Yes, but I believe that the Fist King will get what he wants and become a real man.”

Han Te clenched his fists and waved them hard, shattering the magical light beam that had been triggered by the boxing champion and sending out thousands of brilliant ripples. “Just like I was sure that I could crack

the deepest mysteries of magic and become the greatest sorcerer in the history of the Pangu Universe, hehehehe!”

“…Then, good luck, young man.”

There was no telling whether he was talking to Han Te or himself, but the boxing champion mumbled, “For the wonderful, promising life that we have just begun!”

The two of them fell silent. At the same time, they looked at the top of the city wall not far away.

The shining girl who was reflecting the sunlight like a gold foil was standing on her toes and gazing at them.

There was no telling whether it was an illusion or not, but although they were so far away from each other, they both saw an innocent smile on Liuli’s face, as well as a dimple that seemed to contain the entire universe.

I’m really looking forward to it.

Rubbing his hands, Han Te could not wait any longer. “Tomorrow will be faster!”

“What’s the hurry?”

The Fist King said, “Tomorrow will definitely come!”

While the Holy Accord Alliance and the Imperium of True Human Beings welcomed their drastic changes and rebirth, the Star Glory Federation at the edge of the sea of stars seemed to be welcoming its most glorious

moment.

“Victory!”

“Unbelievable. A crushing victory!”

“Three victories in the Jade Cauldron Sector, the Yellow Dragon Sector, and the Empyrean Terminus Sector are more miraculous than miracles!

“Not only did they avoid the loss of too many starships and soldiers, they also secured double victories against the Old Empire and the Sanctuary Alliance. While they secured abundant trophies, they also signed a solid

three-way alliance and formed a three-way alliance. The strategic situation of the federation was greatly improved. There were no more forces that could stop the federation from marching forward. The federation

could also influence the imperium and the Sanctuary Alliance with its ‘belief’ advantage!

“The Speaker of Parliaments, Ding Lingdang, is the best of the best!

Shocking news, splendid battlefield videos, and sensational roadside news and gossip turned the entire federation into an ocean of celebration, only to be boiled up again in the next second.

Since the news of the victory half a month ago, all the habitable planets and resource planets of the federation had been engaged in an all-night carnival without any rest. Even the most composed government officials

were crying in the live stream. Even the most confident optimists before the war were greatly relieved. Even the most meticulous businessmen were waving their hands and celebrating the victory without caring about

the cost. Even the most old-fashioned veterans had put down their pride and joined the crowds that were celebrating the victory.

The jubilation reached its peak with the triumphant return of the federal fleets.

Three days ago, the victory ceremony in the capital city had attracted the attention of more than 50 million people on the spot. It had become the liveliest festival in the history of the Star Glory Federation with tens of

billions of online viewers. Even the founding of the new federation a hundred years ago paled in comparison.

Today, it was another military town of the federation. The hometown of Li Yao, Peng Hai, and countless other experts, as well as the headquarters of the top 500 sects of the federation such as the Glorious Sunlight

Group, was Floating Spear City’s grand victory ceremony..
