Forty Millenniums of Cultivation - Chapter 3037
Chapter 3037 God’s Domain!
“Cut the nonsense. Are you trying to mess with my mind?”
Li Yao scoffed. “It’s obvious that the ferocious beasts were attacked from the outside and not released from inside the laboratory. Therefore, even if Ding Lingdang sabotaged the integration of you and the other half of the Fuxi and caused the mainframe crystal processor of the laboratory to malfunction, it is impossible for it to lead to such chaos. There is only one conclusion. You are lying!
“Besides, you’ve completely lost your mind. Everything in the past aside, just the fact that you set up a ‘lightning trap’ at the cost of three supreme fortresses and everyone inside them in order to set up traps to stop us from entering the tomb of the Supreme Emperor shows that you’ve lost the last bit of your humanity and become a real devil!
“For a devil such as yourself, the stronger you are, the riskier the civilization of mankind will be. How can we allow you to meld with the other half of the Fuxi civilization and control the cutting-edge laboratories of the Pangu Civilization? Ding Lingdang, Long Yangjun, Li Jialing, Boss Bai, the Fist King, and I all have only one choice in such a situation. We will blow you up on the spot! The arsonist exerted more force on his feet. The iron feet that were spurting scorching flames caved in from the rescuers’ chests, making Lu Qingchen scream and cramping.
“Hehe. You are talking nonsense again. Righteousness, evil, heroes, devils, Li Yao, how come you still don’t understand?” Lu Qingchen smiled miserably. “So, you’ve met the marvelous lightning creatures in the ancient star, the Great Red Spot? Oh, not only that. You must’ve had close contact with them and even exchanged some information with them, haven’t you? I can sense that your life magnetic field is different from before. It seems to have undergone an unbelievable upgrade. It seems that you’ve received a lot of gifts from the lightning creatures! “Then, you should know that these wonderful elves are real energy life-forms. They have social forms and ways of survival that are completely different from the carbon-based intelligent life-forms. Their individual life force can last from a few microseconds to a few seconds, and in a few hundred years, they can undergo earth-shaking changes, allowing the entire… ‘civilization’ to take a big leap forward.
“Although they are still very primitive right now, the lightning creatures boast endless potential. If they were not wiped out in the catastrophe of the supernova explosion, it is very likely that they would have rushed out of the original galaxy, occupied the entire Pangu Universe, and destroyed the civilization of mankind.
“Yes, such a possibility does exist. Now that I’ve figured it out, you certainly can, too. In that case, I’m going to ask our great hero, Li Yao, whether or not you’ve completely destroyed the lightning creatures. At the very least, have you tried your best to extinguish their hope of survival? Have you eliminated the possibility that they will rush out of the mother planet?
“The answer is ‘no’, isn’t it? Our big hero, Li Yao, was merciful and merciful again. He spared the lightning-like life and even enlightened the enemy on a certain level, increasing the odds that the enemy would rush out of the mother planet by one billionth, didn’t he?
“Haha. Hahahaha. Don’t deny it. In the virtual space of ‘Ultimate Rescue’, we fought against the Fuxis together. Our soul fragments have been deeply melded. Nobody in the entire Pangu Universe knows you better than I do, Li Yao!
“Then, let’s say that the lightning life-forms really embark on a brand-new path of evolution under your enlightenment in the near future. They will march out of their mother planet, embark on a journey of expansion in the sea of stars, conquer the entire Pangu Universe, and annihilate the civilization of mankind. Who is the real culprit and who is the bigger devil?
“Of course, of course, their life forms are very different from each other. It is very likely that the lightning life does not have the concept of ‘conquering’ in the sense of a carbon-based intelligent life. It is even possible that they will be closely integrated with the civilization of mankind and become the best helpers for the expedition army of mankind to march into the multiverse. But that is not the point. The point is, when you make the choice to exchange information with the lightning life, you cannot be sure whether it is kind, malicious, or even ‘unintentional’. You also don’t know what your choice will bring to the civilization of mankind, whether it will be destroyed or saved. You are just gambling that you are a crazy gambler whose eyes are burning like mine.”

“Stop flattering yourself and comparing yourself to me.”
Li Yao sneered, “I am different from you. My hands have never been stained with the blood of the innocent. I will not sacrifice billions of people for the purpose of justice or holiness!
“The only difference between us is that you were lucky enough to win all the time. Lu Qingchen turned a deaf ear to him and continued his train of thought. “You enlightened the information lifeforms and created monsters such as ‘Xiaoming’ and ‘Wenwen’. You gambled that they would not betray the civilization of mankind. You also helped the revolutionaries seize the power of the imperium and single-handedly pushed Li Jialing to the throne. You gambled on his rationality, wisdom, and loyalty to his allies. You were lucky and won the gamble temporarily. The situation is developing in the direction that you hoped for. But who can guarantee that you can keep winning and that they will never change? If they do change one day, thousands upon thousands of citizens of the federation will be killed. Your so-called ‘not stained with the blood of the innocent’ is just the psychological comfort of self-deception. When you fall to your doom, perhaps in the eyes of the population of the federation, you will really become a devil a hundred times more stupid, evil, and crazy than me.
“Admit it, Li Yao. Faced with the boundless universe and the mysterious tides, there is no such thing as a firm will, fearlessness, or wisdom. Only lunatics, the craziest gamblers such as you and me, have a one in a billion chance of winning the game.
“Do you know how gamblers increase their odds of winning? Of course, they place their bets on both sides! For the future of the civilization of mankind, you and I will place our bets in two different directions. In essence, is there any difference?
“Therefore, if you are willing to put aside your ridiculous prejudice and the ignorance of mortals and have a constructive dialogue with me to solve our mutual problems, I will be more than happy to accompany you. “If you insist on sealing yourself with the moral laws of mortals and even trying to kill me to vent your anger, please be quick about it. In short, stop with the silly platitudes about your greatness, justice, and kindness and wasting each other’s time, because…” Lu Qingchen suddenly stopped talking and looked at Li Yao’s back.
Li Yao was greatly alarmed. He sensed that a giant python almost a thousand meters long and more than ten meters in diameter was hovering on the nearest skyscraper and staring at them coldly.
Crack! Crack! Crack!
The giant python twisted the skyscraper brutally. The upper half of the skyscraper was smashed at Li Yao and Lu Qingchen like a collapsing cliff.
Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish!
Under the cover of the stones and smoke, the boa rubbed the scales on its body at a high speed, triggering dazzling electric arcs and turning its body into an intimidating electric whip that could sweep thousands of soldiers.
If they were hit by it, both the ‘Arsonist’ and the ‘Savior’ would be melted into two piles of garbage.
Every muscle on Li Yao’s body was surrounded by electric arcs and swelling.
The arsonist ignited the prairie fire. The interference field froze all the stones in midair. Under the surging spiritual fire, almost a thousand stones turned into silver powder, which was then refined into a silver saber that was as thin as a cicada’s wing but hundreds of meters long.
The silver saber and the electric whip split into hundreds of shadows and tangled with each other. The blast spread out crazily like ripples in a pond in a storm.
While Li Yao and the beast were fighting fiercely in midair, Lu Qingchen was lying on the ground like a dead pig that was ready to be butchered. He did not care about the electric arcs and sparks that were bursting out from the two parties at all. He did not even bother to move when the shadows of sabers and swords exploded half a meter away from him, leaving deep cracks on the ground.
“Maybe you think that the lightning traps that I set up with the lives of all the soldiers on the three supreme fortresses as bait are very sordid. But don’t forget that they are ‘soldier bees’, puppets without emotions or will. They are not human beings in the real sense, nor are they citizens of the Star Glory Federation. My dear compatriots.
Lu Qingchen said casually, “The people of the Star Glory Federation are enemies, and so are the citizens of the Star Glory Federation. If I can make the citizens of the Star Glory Federation perish together with the citizens of the Star Glory Federation, won’t I be able to protect the interests of the Star Glory Federation?”
“It must be noted that such operations to explore the ancient relics are most likely to be divided. Although your exploration team seems to be united right now, who knows what will happen after you discover the ultimate treasures and the mysteries of the primeval era?
“Can you guarantee that, in the face of the ultimate treasures and mysteries that can change the course of the civilization of mankind, the Immortal Cultivators and the information lifeforms will be loyal forever and will never betray the intangible ‘creature pact’? No. You are simply not qualified to make such ‘belief’ and ‘guarantees’. Just like I said just now, you are also gambling on the so-called ‘kindness of human nature’. Once you lose the gamble, the Cultivators of the federation will have no chance to fight against the Immortal Cultivators of the imperium who have the absolute advantage.
“I can understand your belief, but I don’t agree with it at all, especially after I witnessed the brilliance of the Gemini Nebula, the horror of the ancient giants, the mysteries of the lightning life, the mysteries of the tomb of the Supreme Emperor, and the chaos of the City of Silver. I’ve realized that we are stepping into the domain of the gods. All the rules of the mortal world are meaningless in this place!
