Chapter 2843: The Same Way
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Master Phantom Sea seemed to have foreseen his reaction. He did not waste any more time talking to him but exchanged a meaningful look with the other four masters.
Then, thousands of runes appeared in front of Master Phantom Sea.
Master Phantom Sea extended his hand. His five fingers turned into hundreds of streaks of brightness and swept across the spinning runes. The thousands of crystal brains floating above everyone’s head immediately hummed and shined, as if they had turned into living creatures that were dancing under
the support of the spiritual flames and mystic rays.
Thousands of gold lines suddenly appeared inside the golden cube that sealed Lu Qingchen’s soul and cut his soul into cubes the size of dice.
Since his soul was invisible, it was impossible for him to be cut into pieces. But it meant that the ‘violent cracking’ and ‘deep analysis’ of Lu Qingchen’s soul had begun.
ant”
Lu Qingchen’s crazy laughter suddenly tured into earsplitting screams. His face was particularly hideous when he was in the state of his soul. His mouth was so wide open that his face was about to be torn apart, and his virtual internal organs were spurting out of his black hole-like throat one after
another. His soul was like a blossoming and rotting flower. Even Li Yao felt sorry for him when he peeped at it.
The speed and frequency of the gold threads were higher and higher. No matter how twisted and condensed Lu Qingchen’s soul was, it would be cut, cracked, and analyzed again in a moment.
As the humming of the thousands of crystal brains grew louder and louder, Lu Qingchen’s soul was more and more broken and twisted. He could not maintain his solid form any longer and turned into clusters of lackluster mist.
In the meantime, a lot of information and data were extracted from Lu Qingchen’s soul and transmitted to the crystal brain through the crystal cables.
The images of the five supreme masters were melted into the brilliance of the crystal brain, too, as they read the data eagerly.
“Don’t even think about it. Don’t even think about it. Don’t even think about getting the secrets in the depths of my soul!”
Lu Qingchen’s soul was like a torch that was burning tenaciously in a storm. He struggled to release the most dazzling brilliance. There was no telling whether he was screaming or laughing miserably. “I am a real human being. I will never bow down to the maggots that grew out of the corpses of the
deities and devils!
The five sages listened emotionlessly, but there was confusion in their eyes, as if they did not understand how a human being could be so determined to fight against them.
Li Yao was even more confused.
He had only experienced such a feeling once when he watched the Immortal Cultivator Kou Ruhuo lunge at the resurrected Pangu Clan in the Kunlun Mysterious Realm.
It was true that he and Lu Qingchen were mortal enemies. He insisted that the man was an unpardonable dangerous man and that there was no possibility of compromise or cooperation.
However, no matter how evil Lu Qingchen was, he existed as a ‘plotter of human beings’ and was absolutely different from the ‘non-human beings’ of the Sanctuary.
Besides, Li Yao’s current life form was very similar to Lu Qingchen’s. The methods that the five masters of wisdom used to deal with Lu Qingchen could be used to deal with Li Yao, too. Li Yao could not find it gratifying or gratifying at all that Lu Qingchen ended up like this.
Lu Qingchen’s life and his pride should not end like this.
Lu Qingchen should have been captured and brought back to the federation for a fair trial in his motherland!
“We cannot allow Lu Qingchen’s soul to be dismembered by Master Zhi Shan.
Li Yao said, “Let’s not talk about his personal feelings for now. If we keep torturing him like this, Lu Qingchen’s soul will be dissected and analyzed layer by layer. All the secrets about him, us, and the Star Glory Federation will gradually be revealed to Master Zhi Shan.
“No matter what, we must stop Master Zhi Shan’s interrogation, dissection, and analysis!
“Don’t be hasty. Didn’t you think that Lu Qingchen wouldn’t be captured so easily?”
The mental devil was silent for a long time. Then it suddenly said, “I kind of understand Lu Qingchen’s plan and purpose now.”
“on?”
Li Yao was dazed. “What plan?”
“The battle against the Black Wind Fleet was as planned!
“Do you still remember what Lu Qingchen did in the battle?”
“Of course I do. At that time, he intentionally revealed his identity as a double agent and was captured by the commander-in-chief of the Black Wind Fleet, who locked him on the flagship ‘Black Swirl’. He was interrogated in all kinds of tortures and even tasted the most excruciating pain in the world.
Li Yao said, “In fact, he was ready to abandon his body of flesh and blood a long time ago. But while the Immortal Cultivators stabbed their brain probes into his brain and examined his brainwaves, he ‘uploaded’ his soul to the mainframe crystal processor of ‘Black Swirl’ and controlled the entire Black
Wind Fleet through it.
“As a result, the mainframe crystal processor of Black Swirl became his brand-new brain, and he invaded Dark Night Brightness’s brain further through the enormous ‘brain’. He turned the commander-in-chief of the Black Wind Fleet into his puppet and demonized the entire fleet. A lot of Immortal
Cultivators turned into demonic Cultivators, and their combat ability was significantly improved.
“If we hadn’t shown up at the last moment and blown him into pieces while we were talking and laughing, his scheme would’ve succeeded!
“Wait, wait, wait. Why does this plan sound so familiar? You mean—you mean—”
“It is true that the failure of the battle was ‘not a crime of war’, because nobody could have foreseen that you would lead the twelve experts of the ancient sacred world to the center of the battlefield, not because there was anything wrong with Mo Xuan and Lu Qingchen’s plan.
“Everybody in the Star Glory Federation knows the whole process of the battle,” the mental devil said. “But nobody in the imperium and the Holy Alliance at the center of the sea of stars knows it at all. Is it really strange that Lu Qingchen is trying to copy his carefully-designed, failed plan?”
“Therefore, since the reappearance of the God’s Heart Association in the beginning, it has been a trap. Lu Qingchen released all kinds of brain viruses on purpose so that the five great masters would pay more and more attention to him and consider him to be the most dangerous person in the world.
Li Yao’s soul ripples were more and more rapid. “When the time is right, he will create a few shocking cases and leave traces on purpose so that the people of the Star Glory Federation will find them. In the end, his soul will self-detonate, and he will be captured by accident. His purpose will be exactly the
same as when he was captured on ‘Black Swirl’. He is going to approach the main flagship of the army of the Star Glory Federation and the five Great Sages!
“Yes. Only by becoming the most dangerous wanted criminal of the Holy Alliance and hiding secrets that could reverse the situation of the war deep inside his soul could he attract the attention of the five great masters. Only by blowing up his own soul and pretending that his soul was too broken to be
dissected and analyzed could he ease the vigilance of the five great masters.
The mental devil sneered. “When the five masters of kindness connected the mainframe crystal processor of the ‘Fuxi System’ to his brain and performed a deep analysis on his soul, he was given the opportunity to corrupt the ‘Fuxi System’. When the five masters of kindness were observing his soul
carefully, he was gazing at the five masters of kindness coldly, too.
“As long as I control the ‘Fuxi System’ and the five masters of kindness in the same way as last time, won’t I be able to soar into the sky and become the ‘new leader’ of the civilization of the ‘quasi-beetle civilization? I will be able to complete the shocking undertaking of swallowing an elephant with a
snake!
“But”
Li Yao found it hard to believe. “The complexity and defense of the ‘Fuxi System’ are much higher than that of the mainframe crystal processor of ‘Black Swirl. The level of the five greatest masters of wisdom is much higher than that of Dark Night Brightness, too!
“Exactly. So, Lu Qingchen is still waiting for an excellent opportunity.”
The mental devil replied, “The ‘Fuxi System’ and the five masters of kindness are far more advanced than the crystal processors of the Black Wind Fleet and their commander-in-chief, but the enemy they are about to face, the army of the Imperium of True Human Beings, is much stronger than the
federal army!
“Think about it. There are less than forty-eight hours to go before the main force of the Sanctuary Alliance, the fleet of the Fuxi Clan, attacks the capital city. By then, the enormous fleet that can block the stars will jump to the center of the Empyreal Terminus Sector and start a final battle that is even
more brilliant and cruel than the expedition of the Star Ocean Imperium ten thousand years ago.
“At the very least, during the moment of the space jump, how to gather the troops as quickly as possible, how to command and deploy them, how to break through the defense fire net of the Star Ocean Imperium, how to assault Empyrean Terminus as quickly as possible, and so on and so forth. All the
military processing, the astronomical amount of information, and the data turbulence will put unprecedented pressure on the brain of the ‘Fuxi System’ and the five great sages.
“At that moment, the computational ability of the ‘Fuxi System’ and the five great sages will hit rock bottom. The firewall of the Spiritual Nexus and the mental defense wall will be attacked crazily by the imperial army, too. They will be riddled with holes and on the verge of collapse. Isn’t that Lu
Qingchen’s best chance?
“It sounds crazy, but as I said before, as a remnant soul who infiltrated the Holy Alliance all by himself, this is his only chance, just like it is our only chance!
“No wonder Lu Qingchen chose such a timing to release the brand-new ‘Favorite Virus’ and ‘Furious Virus’ in order to create a riot that everybody was watching!
Li Yao mumbled, “If he had arrived earlier or later, he wouldn’t have been able to wait for the most intense moment of the splendid clash between the army of the Star Glory Federation and the Star Glory Federation. He would’ve been caught in the trap.
“This guy is truly insane. His plan is a gamble without caring about the consequences. He is dancing on the edge of a blood-stained saber. The success rate is not even 1%…”
“Haven’t we been thinking the same thing as him about the ‘Fuxi System’?
The mental devil smiled. “Maybe, we are the same kind of people as Lu Qingchen.. We are all lawless, reckless lunatics!
