Forty Millenniums of Cultivation

Chapter 3147: Time to Update the Data

Right now, the ancient star was right in front of him. Its enormous size was even more obvious, as if it had swallowed more than half of the universe and overturned the universe, making Li Yao, Lu Qingchen, the solar catastrophe, Gu Wuxin, and the ‘supernaturals’ fall toward it.

The entrance and exit of the ancient relics were not in the orbit of the ancient giants, but in the orbit of one of their satellites. The distance between the two was quite large. Li Yao had drifted in space for a long time before he reached the entrance of the ancient relics.

But right now, because of the relative movements of the entrances and exits of the relics, the satellites, and the ancient giants, they had reached the point closest to each other. It was not an exaggeration to say that they could pluck the stars with their hands.

It was certainly not a coincidence.

No matter how advanced and mysterious the technology of Gu Wuxin’s ‘Rainbow Bridge’ was, it was still a teleportation array after all. It was impossible to tear apart the stable three-dimensional universe and transmit information billions of lightyears away without consuming enough energy.

Of course, a lot of energy was stored inside the primeval relics. But Li Yao believed that, if he could make use of the ‘tidal force’ between the ancient star and its satellite, he would be able to help the ‘Rainbow Bridge’ break through the threshold, tear apart the sea of stars, and cross the universe faster.

Therefore, it was the time and coordinates that Gu Wuxin had calculated, based on the astronomical data from hundreds of thousands of years ago.

After all, compared to the universe and astronomy, hundreds of thousands of years was just a moment. Half a second was no different.

For a moment, Li Yao thought of many things. Then, he couldn’t help but laugh.

So that was the case.

As it turned out, this was the reason why the other half of the Fuxi Clan, who controlled the Heavenly Palace, strongly suggested freezing time for hundreds of thousands of years.

It was not because it had discovered Gu Wuxin’s anomaly, nor was it because it had foreseen the rise of human beings, but because it had foreseen a new possibility.

The super artificial intelligence created by the Pangu Civilization was indeed impressive. If it had not been divided into two halves, even Li Yao would have been no match for it.

Of course, it was also possible that Li Yao was thinking too much and that ‘Fuxi’ did not calculate any clear possibilities.

However, the birth of new life, new hope, and new and endless possibilities was always unstoppable, was it not?

Li Yao just didn’t understand one thing.

“Why are you helping me?”

Li Yao sent a feeble brainwave to Lu Qingchen. He did not think that he and Lu Qingchen were good friends who had gone through life and death together. It must be noted that the main purpose of the expedition to the primeval relics was to capture the inhuman ‘anti-human’ Lu Qingchen!

“What else could it be?”

Lu Qingchen asked back, “Am I going to mess around with you at such a critical moment, drag everybody down, and ruin the civilization of mankind?”

Li Yao was dazed for a moment. It did make sense.

“I’m hopeless anyway.”

There was obvious amusement in Lu Qingchen’s brainwaves. He did not seem to be ‘helpless’ at all. “Let’s say that you or I suddenly receive some kind of mysterious power and blow up the monster after we transform ourselves. Then, I will have to go back and face all the human experts, won’t I? I don’t think that I can compete with you, Ding Lingdang, Boss Bai, Long Yangjun, the Fist King, and everyone else after the bloody battle against the enemy.

“In the end, I was still captured and tied up by you like a dumpling back to the Star Glory Federation for trial.

“Like I said, I would rather die ten thousand times than be judged by pigs like you.

“Therefore, this is probably the best ending for me, isn’t it? Haha. Hahahaha. Hahahaha!”

Lu Qingchen suddenly burst into laughter uncontrollably, which was both ironic and arrogant.

“What are you laughing at?”

Li Yao said solemnly.

“I’m wondering how the history books and textbooks of the Star Glory Federation will evaluate me.

Lu Qingchen smiled and said, “It’s true that I’m a cruel, inhuman butcher. Billions of people have been killed by my schemes because of my telepathic thoughts. But I’ve also saved the federation and the human civilization multiple times at the cost of my own life. The final battle against the super artificial intelligence ‘Fuxi’ was the first, and now it’s the second. I really don’t know how to calculate the muddled debt. Some historians in the future will have a headache. Haha. Hahahaha.

“Hey, Li Yao, what kind of trial do you think history will give me?”

“…I don’t know.”

Li Yao was silent for a long time, but he still shook his head and sighed. “What can a beautiful woman do when she is a thief?”

“There is pleasure in being a thief. Don’t tell me you still don’t understand after crawling through so many ventilation tubes and toilets?”

Lu Qingchen paused for a moment. He suddenly lowered his voice and mumbled, “At the very least, I didn’t go against Grandpa’s last words. I will be a patriot until I die, right?”

Li Yao did not know what to say. He managed to say, “From a certain point of view, on a certain level, theoretically speaking, probably!”

“That’s good.”

Lu Qingchen smiled brightly. “Bring it on!”

“Come on!”

Li Yao roared.

“Hey hey hey hey, what the heck is this? You haven’t even asked for my opinion!”

The mental devil shrieked.

“The majority wins. Two to one.”

Li Yao roared, “Come on. Change your trajectory and push the monster toward the ancient star!”

Along with the roars that echoed in the universe, Li Yao’s body of flesh and blood was like a torch that was about to burn out. Supported by pure oxygen, it was hundreds of times brighter than before. The back of the giant soldier spurted out flames hundreds of meters, thousands of meters, or even hundreds of thousands of meters long, which cut through the darkness of the universe and accelerated its speed by ten times!

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Riding the ‘sun catastrophe’, Li Yao hugged Gu Wuxin and rushed toward the ancient star at such a high speed that even the pieces of meteoroids floating between the ancient star and the satellites crashed into the cosmic dust, leaving shocking craters on their bodies.

But that was not all. While he was rushing forward, Li Yao detonated his cells without caring about anything else and threw biochemical bombs at Gu Wuxin.

Gu Wuxin’s head was spinning because of the collision, and his head was dizzy because of the explosion.

He could clearly feel Li Yao’s determination to go all in, but it disrupted his rhythm of healing his wounds and condensing his combat ability.

However, when he accurately determined Li Yao’s intentions, he could not help but laugh.

“Idiot. Is this the ‘last strike’ that you came up with at the cost of your soul, your life, and everything else? Are you trying to knock me into the gravity ring of the ancient star and destroy me with the enormous gravity of the planet? Or at least suppress me? How idiotic!

Gu Wuxin scoffed. “It was truly wishful thinking. Based on the remaining strength of your life force and your soul power, as well as the remaining fuel of the giant soldier, it was impossible for you to push me into the inner layer of the ancient planet’s gravity.

“Besides, the astronomers in the Heavenly Palace have studied all the space zones and galaxies in the trajectories of the ancient relics hundreds of thousands of years ago. I know all the parameters of the planet like the back of my hand.

“You’ve underestimated the power of the super bodies. You think you can suppress me with the gravity of a planet? Impossible! Not to mention that I won’t fall into the planet at all. Even if I am captured by its gravity and fall into the super-dense atmosphere, I will never be trapped.

“As long as these insignificant injuries are repaired, neither the planet nor the stone belts will be able to trap me. By then, do you want me to swallow your soul and take you to the surface of the planet for a soul-stirring adventure? At that time, you will understand how strong the super bodies are and how stupid you are.

“No. No need. I believe you.”

Li Yao was laughing miserably and vomiting blood at the same time. His eyes were deeply hollowed, and his entire face had turned into a terrifying skull. The only thing that was still shining in his eyes was his stubbornness. “I lost. I’m no match for you. What a strong super body. I’m completely convinced now!”

“Huh?”

In the extremely cold vacuum, a layer of ice was frozen on Gu Wuxin’s face. His thoughts seemed to be frozen, too. “Are you planning to surrender on behalf of all your compatriots and join our super bodies?”

“You can talk about bowing to me later.

Li Yao smiled delightedly. “Before that, I have a small suggestion for you. If you have time, update the database of astronomical parameters inside the Heavenly Palace. Your survey of the ancient giants is outdated.

“What?”

Every scale on Gu Wuxin’s body constricted violently, reducing his size significantly.

He turned his head 180 degrees and faced the enormous ancient star. He saw an unbelievable scene that had never been recorded in the database of the Heavenly Palace hundreds of thousands of years ago.

On the surface of the ancient giants that were full of parallel stripes, there were almost a hundred equally enormous red spots, each of which was a cluster of cyclones and storms that could last hundreds of years or even thousands of years. Endless lightning was born, collided, grew, melted, and perished in them.

At this moment, hundreds of thick electric arcs darted out of the dozens of red spots at the same time. No. ‘electric arcs’ were not enough to describe their magnificence and horror. They were like tongues and tentacles of lightning that were tangled together and dancing crazily toward Gu Wuxin, Li Yao, and Lu Qingchen.

Against the background of the ancient star, the tongues and tentacles of the lightning seemed to be moving very slowly.

However, Gu Wuxin, Li Yao, and Lu Qingchen seemed to be frozen in the gravity field of the ancient star. They could only watch the claws and teeth of the lightning reaching for them.

“What is this?”

For the first time, Gu Wuxin and the thousands of ghosts inside his super body screamed uncontrollably at the same time.
