40,000 Years of Cultivation

"Well, even if he is still a ‘Patriot’!"

Li Yao made concessions, "but this does not mean that he can refine and distort the best human emotions and act as an evil weapon to create terrifying monsters like'ghouls'. In this regard, he is really The Supreme Master of the Holy League has gone to two extremes, neither of which is a kind of kindness."

"So, if the puppet king is really Lu Qingchen, what are you going to do?"

The Scarlet Heart Demon asked, "Can we cooperate to some extent under the premise of'Love the Federation, Human First'?"

Li Yao thought about it for a long time.

"I think it's difficult."

He denied the "looks beautiful" idea of ​​cooperating with Lu Qingchen.

Although there is a certain degree of overlap between each other's ideas, everyone's methods and the bottom line that can be unscrupulously broken are too different.

As far as Lu Qingchen is concerned, his idea is to virtualize all human beings, so that everyone can get rid of the shackles of the body and enter the life in the spiritual net and crystal brain.

In the online world, as long as a small amount of energy is consumed, everyone can have a life of various poses, an extremely splendid life, and inspire endless emotions and desires-these seven emotions and six desires are the source of the power of the demon.

Li Yao cannot say that Lu Qingchen's ideals must be wrong. For example, Li Yao has now got rid of the shackles of the physical body, presenting a certain...information life form, and has indeed gained completely different pleasures and unprecedented awareness.

But again, evolution is not something that can be done overnight. The vast project of "all mankind" will take at least tens of thousands of years to slowly experiment, repeatedly demonstrate, carefully modify, and finally let it go.

If you want to complete your work and complete a full 10,000 years of evolution in just a hundred years, you can only help it grow and kill yourself.

Haste is not enough. Lu Qingchen may not know this truth, but his soul was completely hijacked by the heavenly demons and fell into an uncontrollable dark side, so that he gave up the bottom line of a cultivator without any psychological burden. He created the Disillusionment Virus, Glory Virus, Gourmet Virus and Beloved Virus... To achieve his goal, human emotions can be manipulated by any means, and the sacrifices of tens of thousands of people have become his stepping stones to a "brilliant future."

It is impossible for Li Yao to cooperate with Lu Qingchen.

Li Yao still hasn't forgotten how insidious and terrifying Lu Qingchen was in the battle of the Black Wind Fleet's assault on the Star Yao Federation, and how many people were killed directly or indirectly by him.

"I can't spare him!"

Li Yao groaned, "However, you can't just watch him fall into the hands of the Supreme Master-he really has too many secrets about the Federation and us. If these secrets are swallowed by the Supreme Master, only I'm afraid that these five pretending guys will become more difficult to deal with!"

"Then act according to the timing, at least you have to catch him first."

Scarlet Heart Demon said, "Don't be careless, be careful, don't look at Lu Qingchen a generation younger than you, this guy is not easy, he has drawn strength from Xinghai, Su Changfa, Professor Mo Xuan, Lingwang Tianma and you. It can be described as'learning from the strengths of all families', and the magical powers between the vertical and horizontal spirit nets and the human brain may be even more powerful than ours combined!"

"This matter is also very strange to say."

Li Yao thought for a while and said, "The time that Lu Qingchen came to the Saint League will not be much longer than the time we came to the Empire, at most two to three years, three to five years, but I feel that his strength is better than Three or five years ago, he grew by leaps and bounds. At that time, he could only control a Black Wind fleet, and he was not our opponent of the "Ultimate Nascent Infant", but now, his power has been able to erode the entire Holy League. Even the powerhouses comparable to the realm of the gods were played with applause by him, and even the supreme masters with unfathomable strength could not catch his tail.

"His upgrade speed is too fast, right?"

"What's so strange about this?"

The Scarlet Heart Demon said, "You haven't just jumped to the center of the Star Sea, and within a few years of effort, you have directly crossed the transformation from the mere Yuan Ying to the realm of distraction?"

"It's not the same."

Li Yao coughed dryly and said, "Well, I admit that my hurricane advancement has a certain element of luck. First, I suffered a strong radiation impact in the poisonous scorpion star cluster, breaking through the barrier of transformation; then there was the imperial queen Li Linghai. I continue to provide me with a large amount of precious resources from the emperor’s tomb, including such treasures as the "Emperor Flame Orb" for me to practice; finally, a generation of heroes, part of the souls of the Black Star Emperor Wu Yingqi, has become a heritage, gifted to me, and returned Give me a unique training room like the'Golden Crystal Tower'.

"With so many coincidences, the blessings of Tiancai Dibao and Dongtianfudi, it can be said that half of the empire is helping me in my cultivation, and my upgrade speed is so fast.

"Moreover, upgrading so fast is not without side effects. You see, my usual words and deeds have become more and more innocent, returning to the basics-I don't want it either!

"On the other hand, Lu Qingchen, after being beaten to death by us and suffering a severe damage to his soul, he fled to the Saint League hurriedly, without any help, alone with a few strands of remnant soul.

"But while he organizes the'Shenxinhui' to deal with the entire Holy League, while practicing frantically, his strength soars faster than ours? This, don't you think it's too exaggerated?"

"You won't see others well."

Scarlet Heart Demon said, "Couldn't people be a talented, intelligent, and rare cultivating genius, a true emperor who has collected billions of fortunes in the entire Pangu universe? The cultivation speed is a little bit faster than your universe virus? , It's normal too!"

"...No, how can there be monsters in the Pangu universe whose cultivation speed is faster than mine? First, Li Jialing, then Lu Qingchen, how can the juniors now be so lawless?"

Li Yao said, "If Lu Qingchen was really so powerful, when he was in the Federation, he would not be smashed by us! Compared to what you said, a cultivating genius is rare, and a true emperor supported by thousands of fortunes. Something like', I would rather believe that when his remnant soul was wandering between the stars, he had another adventure, and he was helped by some kind of power, perhaps the inheritance of the power of a certain predecessor."

"That's a problem."

Scarlet Heart Demon said, "If you think about it, the most powerful force in the center of Xinghai is the Holy League and the Empire. You know the situation of the empire very well, and Lu Qingchen has a clear-cut stand to destroy the Holy League, how could it come up again? A third force came to help Lu Qingchen? Did this so-called'senior power' fall from the sky?"

Li Yao couldn't figure out this question for a while.

However, while the Scarlet Heart Demon was ridiculing, he had to admit that Lu Qingchen’s upgrade was indeed very suspicious—he used to have a few kilograms, and Li Yao and Scarlet Heart Demon knew very well, and there was no reason to not see each other in just a few years. , It's so much stronger!

Therefore, there should be something hidden behind Lu Qingchen.

Perhaps, after figuring out the reason for Lu Qingchen's sudden strength, a series of puzzles would be easily solved.

"Let's turn our eyes back to this guy, this guy who was talking to Gao Huan."

Scarlet Heart Demon said, "Now it is very clear that this guy should not be Lu Qingchen, but at least he is a puppet or minion remotely controlled by Lu Qingchen."

"Yes."

Li Yao agreed, "Is there a way to see his front face clearly, or to perform voiceprint analysis of his voice?"

"It's hard."

The Scarlet Heart Demon said, "Lu Qingchen erased most of the traces left by him in the spirit net. It is our limit to be able to recover these fragmented data, and it is impossible to see this person's face.

"As for the voice, I believe that the voice he uses must have been changed and concealed, and it may even deliberately imitate other people's speech to mislead the direction of the investigation, so there is no need to waste too much computing power on this."

"That's true."

Li Yao said, "Is there no way to lock this guy's identity?"

"That's not necessarily."

Scarlet Heart Demon said, "We can think about it in another way. People like Gao Huan who have not been able to completely wash out their memory and self after three brainwashing sessions must be very rare. They will leave a lot of data in the system and cause staff and senior priests. Attention, right?"

Li Yao said: "Yes."

"Then, a staff member or high priest will check his situation and personally'purify' him."

Scarlet Heart Demon said, "And other idlers, etc., there shouldn't be any chance to get close to him, right?"

Li Yao's eyes lit up: "You mean that the person who is talking to Gao Huan is a certain staff member or a high priest?"

"Of course, another piece of evidence is that we haven't found information about'Gao Huan' in the system. You know, he didn't give in after three brainwashing sessions. How could there be no record?"

Scarlet Heart Demon said, "Gao Huan's records must have been erased, and there are not too many people who have the authority to erase records."

"In this way, the scope of the investigation is minimized."

Li Yao said, "But there seems to be as many as seven high-level priests, plus other staff, there will always be twenty or thirty. How can we confirm one of them?"

"Here is the approximate time for this person to communicate with Gao Huan."

Scarlet Heart Demon said, "Although we can't know his identity directly, we can determine the list of all the senior priests and staff who are on the job at the same time period. Then, we will search the surveillance video to see what these people are doing. ——If they are not Lu Qingchen's puppets, they must be doing other tasks at this time, and they will be caught by the monitoring crystal eye.

"If someone should be on duty, but he can't be found in all the surveillance videos, what does it mean?"

"It means that all the videos about him have been deleted and shredded!"

Li Yao's soul flickered suddenly, "It means he is Lu Qingchen's puppet!"
