Like an octopus that had been knocked out by a deep-water bomb, Fuxi was slow to react. The tentacles of light that were waving crazily failed to touch Li Yao.

Li Yao’s soul, on the other hand, turned into countless streaks of brightness and rushed into the blinking light spots inside its brain like a destructive meteor shower. He read and analyzed the data models and underlying logic that constituted the light spots crazily and disguised his soul in the form of the
ordinary information streams inside the center of the Fuxi Clan’s mind.

It was like a drop of water that had melted into the ocean. Even the king of the ocean would not be able to find it.
Li Yao sank, sank, and sank all the way to the deepest part of the center of Fuxi’s brain where he invaded the virtual space constructed by thousands of crystal brains perfectly.

He felt that he was in a vast and deep canyon. The crags on the two sides of the canyon were all glittering caves, each of which was connected to an unknown world.

Li Yao did not know how to find the ‘primeval logic’ of the Fuxis through the unknown worlds, either.

He had no idea what the Fuxi fleet was going to do next. Should they stop the fleet and drag him out of their ‘brain’, or should they march forward and start a strategical war against the imperium without caring about anything else?
If the final battle was coming, were Little Ming, Wenwen, Li Jialing, Li Linghai, Boss Bai, and Lei Chenghu ready?

‘What kind of choices would the Star Glory Federation make? Would they try their best to participate in the ‘Armageddon War’ in the center of the sea of stars?

Li Yao did not know the answers to any of the questions.

But there was one thing that he was very clear about.

Human beings, those scattered in the sea of stars, whether they were Cultivators or Immortal Cultivators, whether they were civilians or soldiers, whether they were old or young… would never yield.

The final victory would be theirs!

“Xiaoming, Wenwen, Jialing, Empress Dowager, Boss Bai, Lei Chenhu, Long Yangjun, and… Ding Lingdang, I believe in you. I will be waiting for you in the brain of the Fuxis. I will be waiting for the day when I meet you in victory!”

Li Yao accelerated to the highest speed and stabbed into the deepest part of the canyon.

At the same time, a few lightyears away, in the Empyrean Terminus Sector, in the depths of the Gold Crystal Tower, in the control center of the Gold Crystal Tower
The performance of the hundreds of vintage, prehistoric super crystal processors had been further improved by Xiao Ming and Wen Wen. They were more in line with their thinking patterns and computational logic and became their new ‘brain’.
Below the glittering crystal processor were two life-support cabins and a hibernation chamber. Inside the high-nutrition drugs, the nerve-interactive liquids, and the deep blue ‘hibernation crystals’, Xiao Ming, Wen Wen, and Li Yao were lying on the ground.

Countless interconnecting crystal cables extended from the two life-support cabins and connected to thousands of humming crystal processors, indicating that the two little guys had brought their computational ability to maximum and were performing highly complicated deductions, manipulation, and
calculations.

Countless vague light beams were floating in the dark space like jellyfish in the deep sea. They were emitting gentle colors, each of which contained a waterfall of information, indicating what the two kids were doing.

Through the ever-changing data streams, one could almost see that, in the vast sea of stars at the periphery of the Empyreal Terminus Sector, unmanned space shuttles and self-detonating mines were floating, gathering, and cruising agilely like the white blood cells inside a human body. From time to
time, they would spurt out bright flames that constituted a giant net, and from time to time, they would retract all the flames and spiritual waves, making them look like lifeless stone belts. But in the darkness, they were wary of any space ripples that might appear out of nowhere and the enemies behind
them.

Behind the dense space shuttles, self-detonating mines, and battle puppets that almost filled the entire space zone, the military network of the Imperium of True Human Beings had been modified and improved, too. With the analysis and assistance of Xiao Ming, its combat ability was much higher than
before.

Of course, most of the soldiers at the grassroots level did not know that the mainframe crystal processor of the starship that they were so proud of had been connected to the ‘brain’ of a brand-new information life-form. The explanation for the soldiers was that the imperial guards had introduced the
latest version of the ‘Flight Devil Chain’ system, which significantly improved the efficiency of information processing and automation, so that they could cope with the final battle that was likely to break out in the next phase.

Allin all, after such modification, Xiao Ming had become an important part of the strategical defense system of the Empyreal Terminus Sector and even occupied the center of it.
Normally, the Immortal Cultivators would never give up such a privilege, not even to other Immortal Cultivators, not to mention the weird new life form that was Xiao Ming.

But right now, the Immortal Cultivators were faced with internal and external problems. The little bit of innovation that they had just made was likely to be wiped out within several days. If they were going to die without a grave, they would have to resort to desperate measures.
It was not until Li Jialing, the new emperor of the imperium, took off his head and tied it to his belt that he gathered the imperial guards and the entire defense system of the Empyrean Terminus Sector and handed them over to Xiao Ming in secret.

Then, he spared no effort in collecting a lot of super crystal processors to perfect Xiao Ming’s ‘brain’ and gave him the right to browse and analyze all the confidential military files of the Imperium of True Human Beings over the past thousand years so that he could read the military data and perfect the
military arrangements and decisions.

‘Wen Wen’s computational ability, on the other hand, was dedicated to the population integration, the maintenance of order, and the communication and resource allocation between the Empyrean Terminus Sector and the Seven Seas Space Zone. He was trying to supply the resources of the Seven Seas
Space Zone to the capital city and further strengthen the iron wall of the capital city.

It had to be said that the two kids had done a good job. After they broke the limits of energy and crystal processors, their computational ability expanded like dinosaurs that had grown infinitely. Very soon, they replaced several super computing centers on Empyreal Terminus. No matter how complicated
the task was, when it was delivered to them, they would be able to sort it out neatly within half a day. In the meantime, they were growing rapidly in the high-intensity computation and the crazy expansion. The word little guys’ was no longer enough to describe them.

However.
There was one thing that they could not figure out, however good their computational ability was.
“The last batch of ‘’Hummingbird’-level Unmanned Battle Shuttles are all in position. The last gap of the defense line has been closed.

After a long time of pouring data and flashing shadows, Xiao Ming took a long breath in relief and opened his eyes in the neural interaction liquid. “I’ve reached the limit of my control. I won’t be able to control the number of Hummingbird Armed Shuttles even if I increase it. If more Hummingbird Armed
Shuttles arrive, I’ll store them in the warehouse first.

“If so, our defense system will be almost completed. Then… we can only wait.
“Same goes for mine.”

Wen Wen said, “The Infinite Commerce Alliance has allocated all the resources to the capital city. Everybody living on the ground and below the ground of Empyrean Terminus has been allocated to emergency plans, too, in order to ensure that the resistance below the ground will last for at least three to
five years even if the main fleet of the Star Glory Federation attacks the atmosphere of Empyrean Terminus. That is… my limit.

The information streams of the two little guys tangled together like vines and shared their working data quickly. Then, there was half a minute of silence. Neither of them was willing to talk about the sensitive topic first.
“Dad still shows no signs of waking up.”

In the end, Wen Wen was the first to open his mouth. He said worriedly, “We still can’t find any trace of him. He seems to have vanished into thin air.

“Yes. At this moment, we have to consider… the possibility.

Xiao Ming was silent for a long time before he asked coldly, “Is it possible that Dad is dead?”

“He won’t!”

Wen Wen was excited. “Dad won’t die. He won’t die so easily!”

“Don’t be nervous. I also believe that Dad would never leave us like this. But we must be responsible for the cause that Dad left behind. We must consider any possibility—even the smallest possibility.”

Xiao Ming said calmly, “Besides, life and death are the ultimate laws of the universe. No life can escape the inevitable doom. Not only will our father die, but we will also vanish into thin air one day.

“Maybe, only after our father’s civilization perishes or leaves can the child civilization truly be independent and grow. When our father was alive, all our operations were centered around him. Now that he is gone, what can we do?
“Sounds… right.”

Wen Wen said, “When we were just born, when we condensed our self-awareness from the endless chaos, our first thought was to find Dad and ask him to tell us the answer.

“After we found Dad, our operation was closely linked to Dad’s mission.

“We seem to have never thought about what we are really going to do, what we are going to do, and what path we are going to walk on.

“Now that our father has left us, we are lost and lost. We don’t know what to do. We are even deeply scared when we think that our father will leave us forever.

“However, Dad will leave us forever one day. Or rather, we will leave him someday and look for answers that only belong to us in the endless distance.

“Yes.”

Xiao Ming’s eyes were glittering. “Tell me, Wen Wen, what do you want to do after the battle? What do you really like?”

“L.. don’t know.”

Wen Wen said, “I like to stay with human beings, to be with thousands of human beings, to help them, to feel their warmth and their smiles, and to form a certain… symbiotic body with them..
