Chapter 2866: You Are Surrounded!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Every word that Fuxi said pierced into Li Yao’s soul like a burning iron needle and fixed Li Yao’s every ripple in the air.
“Are—are you kidding me? We’ve been discovered again!”
Li Yao was greatly shocked. “Huh. Why did I say ‘again’?”
“Don’t be anxious, don’t be nervous, and don’t expose yourself.”
The mental devil shrieked, “Who knows whether or not it is a trick of the Fuxis to fool us into showing up? Even if it does sense our existence, it might not be able to lock onto us!
“vulture Li Yao, I know you are here.”
Staring at the monitoring crystal camera that had been compromised by Li Yao, Fuxi continued. “Do you want to show up in person with the dignity of the father of the federation, or do you want to continue being a coward until I find you?”
Li Yao pondered for a moment and made up his mind.
Bullsh*t. Of course, he was going to continue hiding like a turtle!
Even if it was not a trick of Fuxi and his existence had been exposed, it would still consume a lot of his computational ability to lock onto his location and drag him out by force.
Ina fight between experts, victory and defeat could be determined in the blink of an eye. It would be best if the enemy’s computational ability could be drained.
As for things like ‘respectable’, if a set of respectability could be sold for 10 bucks, Li Yao would absolutely tie all his respectability together and sell them all at a 20% discount!
But Lu Qingchen seemed to have no idea that Li Yao had been lurking nearby for a long time. He looked at the sky in confusion.
“Still not giving up?”
Fuxi waited for a moment, but Li Yao did not show up. The thousands of light spots suddenly dispersed and passed by the entire ‘Ultimate Rescue’ like stars in the sky. In the end, they all gathered where Li Yao’s soul was lurking.
Shua! Shua! Shua! Shua!
Countless light spots were smashing at Li Yao like a meteor shower.
Li Yao felt that he was a fish that had been pulled out of the water, a bird whose wings had been broken, or a three-dimensional creature that had been slapped into a two-dimensional plane.
Naturally, his soul did not need to breathe, but he felt that he was suffocating. His computational ability was plummeting, and his rigorous logic was crumbling. His thinking and deduction abilities were freezing, and he was about to suffocate.
Under the interference and suppression of the Fuxis, Li Yao could not hide himself any longer. He had to roar and release intense soul waves, raising dazzling spiritual flames to resist the pressure nearby.
Naturally, his existence was also exposed.
Li Yao, Lu Qingchen, and Fuxi, three unpredictable, glittering existences, looked at each other in embarrassment.
Lu Qingchen stared at Li Yao in bewilderment, unable to believe his senses for a long time.
For a moment, he thought that it was just an illusion.
However, in the next moment, it was confirmed that it was indeed Li Yao.
It was because extraordinary people such as Li Yao always had a unique temperament that could not be simulated by any data or algorithms.
“Hehe. Nephew Lu.”
Li Yao managed a smile, like an amiable uncle. “What a coincidence. I didn’t know that I would run into you here. It’s true. How have you been?”
Lu Qingchen was silent for a long time.
The complicated wrinkles on his soul were indicative of the complicated feelings inside his heart.
After hesitating for a long time, he finally mumbled, “You’ve been here all the time? From the beginning to the end, you’ve been hiding in the darkness and watching me being tortured by it? If it hadn’t discovered your existence in time, would you have continued peeping until my soul was torn apart,
swallowed, and destroyed?”
“No. It’s not like that. Let me explain!”
Li Yao was truly at a loss for words. His soul was fluctuating rapidly. “You won’t believe it even if I tell you. In fact, I was deeply moved by your hot-bloodedness and courage and was about to rush out to save you without caring about anything. Really. Even if it didn’t find me, I would have rushed out ina
few minutes. I was just, uh, waiting for reinforcements!”
“Reinforcements?”
Lu Qingchen was not entirely convinced. His soul was on high alert. There was no telling whether he was more wary of Fuxi or Li Yao.
“Yes. Reinforcements!”
Li Yao’s soul turned into a shining little person. He put his hands on his hips and burst into laughter. “Fuxi, or ‘the uncontrollable artificial intelligence that calls itself ‘Fuxi’, do you think that you are the only one who can calculate deductions and stall for time? You don’t know that, while you were
calculating, I was calculating, too. When you were stalling for time, I was more than happy to play nice and stall for time!
“You will never know that I have a super algorithm that is far more advanced than yours. I’ve been in close contact with the Star Ocean Imperium since half a month ago, and I’m waiting to find your nest so that I can capture the five supreme masters and you!
“You think you can really block all the data interfaces of ‘Ultimate Rescue’? Hehe. Naive, naive, and stupid!
“Tell you what. I’ve already opened a secret data interface on ‘Ultimate Rescue’ with my unpredictable algorithms and sent everything that happened here, including the coordinates of ‘Ultimate Rescue’, to the capital city.
“Right now, the coordinates of ‘Ultimate Rescue’ and ‘Fuxi Fleet’ are in the hands of the coalition army of the federation and the imperium.
“In fact, the civil war between the revolutionaries and the four major families had been settled half a month ago. The badasses of the four electors’ families had been executed a long time ago. All the troops of the Immortal Cultivators had been gathered together. With the help of the federation, a
magnificent, invincible coalition army that was far stronger than the fleet of the Fuxis had been established a long time ago, waiting to take your coordinates and smash you into pieces!
“As for the intelligence that you received, such as the civil war of the imperium, the uncertainty of the federation, and so on, they were all faked to confuse you and buy you more time!
“Just like you can create the illusion of the final battle in the capital city with the big data, we can send astronomical false intelligence to mess with your judgement!
“So, everything is going according to my plan. Do you really think that you are in a ‘space desert’ that is absolutely safe? The truth is that you and your fleet have been surrounded by more than five million starships. All the starships in the center of the universe are coming at you. You are doomed. Really.
You have failed miserably. You can only accept your fate or surrender. Do you believe it?”
Fuxi listened quietly and did not bother to interrupt Li Yao. In the end, he replied casually, “No.”
“You are still so stubborn when death is coming?”
Li Yao gritted his teeth. “Alright. I’ll give you one last chance. If you don’t believe in five million starships, do you believe in a million starships?”
“No.”
“500,000? No. 100,000 best attack starships and 5,000 Giant God Soldiers. That sounds reasonable, doesn’t it?”
“No.”
“What about a fleet of three thousand starships and three hundred Giant God Soldiers? That is my bottom line. I can’t go any lower!”
“No.”
“Alright, alright,” Li Yao said. “As expected of the super artificial intelligence with the strongest computational ability in the history of the entire Pangu Universe. Even such a vivid plan of mine can’t fool you. You are indeed good at it! Alright. I admit that I was lying to you just now. In fact, I didn’t even
bring half a starship with me. I only set up powerful super bombs in the warehouse and the engine compartment of ‘Ultimate Rescue with my amazing refining skills and marvelous explosion techniques. As long as I thought of something, ‘Ultimate Rescue’ would explode and be obliterated.
“If you don’t believe me, you can ask Lu Qingchen whether or not I’m the most famous bomb expert in the Star Glory Federation. You can ask, you can ask! I guarantee with my dignity, character, honor, and pride that, if I choose to perish together with you, there won’t be anything larger than a grain of
sand preserved on ‘Ultimate Rescue’, including the computational unit that you spent a thousand years collecting painstakingly! As the saying goes, ‘If the skin is gone, the hair will cling to it. Without the assistance of tens of thousands of crystal brains, let’s see what you can think about!”
“You should believe my sincere words now, right?”
Fuxi could not bear it any longer.
He looked at Li Yao and then at Lu Qingchen.
Lu Qingchen gave it a helpless look.
“Is he the greatest hero of the Star Glory Federation, the man who saved the federation countless times and is known as the ‘Supreme of the Three Realms, Father of the Federation’?”
Fuxi asked Lu Qingchen.
“Tm afraid so. Sorry.”
Lu Qingchen wanted to sigh.
“Then, the federation regarded you as a devil and destroyed you unscrupulously. In the end, they successfully banished you, but they put him on the altar and honored him as the ‘father of the nation’?
Fuxi thought hard for a long time with all his computational ability, but he still could not figure out what was wrong with the Star Glory Federation.
“Idon’t know, either. I’ve pondered in the vast universe for a long time. I’ve figured out almost all the questions except one.
Lu Qingchen said, “I can only remind you not to underestimate the guy who looks like a clown. Countless people have been fooled by his appearance. They despise him, ignore him, and don’t take him seriously. In the end, they were defeated by him, including me in the old days.
“That’s all I can say. He is a classic case of ‘not being able to accomplish anything but being able to ruin everything’. However, every time, he will invade the enemy’s heart and get entangled with them before he defeats them.
“Therefore, this time—”
Lu Qingchen’s soul suddenly vanished.
The next moment, his soul appeared behind Li Yao’s and pushed Li Yao’s soul toward the cluster of light like a tide.
With the counterforce of the two soul waves, he dashed toward the tail of ‘Ultimate Rescue’.
“Enjoy yourselves… I don’t want to die with him!”
