40,000 Years of Cultivation

This is not the first time Li Yao has entered the star-sea jump, the state of four-dimensional space.

But it was the first time he tried to observe and analyze the four-dimensional space in an extremely sober way, and even tried to bloom and move his soul freely in the four-dimensional space.

It's a kind of... extremely weird feeling.

The world around him seemed to suddenly become a colorful kaleidoscope, and it was like the thickest swamp and mud. His perception instantly increased ten thousand times, but his ability to move was greatly weakened, trapped in some kind of invisible cage. in.

For a moment, Li Yao's fear reached the extreme, for fear that time and space would lose all meaning. He was like some kind of fossil or a bug in amber, trapped in this weird state forever.

Li Yao thought to himself, if there is some kind of...two-dimensional plane creature, similar to a small black dot on white paper, which, by chance, escapes the two-dimensional universe it is in and enters the three-dimensional world. As at a loss as I am at the moment, almost unable to move.

Li Yao watched his shell and chip gradually melt into the milky white light.

Everyone around him, Chu Zhixiao, Yun Haixin and even King Puppet are just like him, blooming like flowers of flesh and blood, and withering, from skin to muscle, from muscle to blood vessel and nerve, from blood vessel and nerve to The internal organs, to every cell and every bundle of genes, fall apart and unfold indefinitely.

Even the shuttle has gradually become transparent, revealing intricate pipelines and magic units, like from a cube to countless shiny plane structure diagrams, and these mechanism diagrams overlap and intersect in a new way. .

According to the normal procedure, Li Yao should stick to his own soul at this time, and pass the extraordinary period in deep meditation.

This is the best way to protect the soul.

But he did the opposite, surging the ripples of the soul to the limit. From the ripples, bunches of tentacles like flower stamens stretched out, and they struggled through the sticky and colorful four-dimensional space and swam around.

These tentacles are thin, long, shiny, soft and sensitive like fluff, and Li Yao named them "Sitouch".

In the beginning, just moving a thought touch even a few minutes away is more difficult than moving a mountain, or it is like using a soft hair to pierce a hard rock, which is an impossible task.

However, Li Yao has already mastered the knack of "jumping", and in the process of transforming into information life, he has a deeper understanding of the nature of life and the transformation of the universe in different dimensions.

He quickly found the way.

It's like breaking down hair and rocks into the most basic molecules, atoms, and even neutrons and electrons. The gaps between them are enough for a mighty star-sea fleet to pass through.

In the colorful mire of four-dimensional space, Li Yao's "thinking touch" moved.

He laughed, sure enough.

In the four-dimensional space, when the flesh and blood body cannot move, only the synapses of thought can not be affected by time and space and extend to infinite distances.

Of course, Li Yao didn't let his "think touch" extend so far now.

First, he gently wrapped the medical cabin of the sealed puppet king with his thoughts.

In the four-dimensional state, all matter is decomposed and restored, and even the strong armor or seal becomes riddled with holes. Even the puppet king’s brain is seen by Li Yao in a certain "inside-out" way. No more.

The puppet king was still asleep, like a baby sleeping in his mother's arms on a lonely boat in the stormy sea, without the slightest sign of convulsions.

On the four-dimensional level, his brain is like a gray, frozen ocean, and there is no sound of cracking the ice layer. The remnant soul that was crushed by the two supreme masters and blew up and was badly wounded may still be hidden. In the deepest part of the frozen sea, no one can find a place.

Now, Li Yao can easily destroy the puppet king's brain and completely kill him.

It seemed that this seemed to be the best opportunity to hide the existence of the Star Federation.

However, after careful consideration, Li Yao gave up this seemingly alluring idea.

First, he wasn't sure if this was the only body of King Puppet-Lu Qingchen.

Judging from Lu Qingchen's cunning and unpredictable character in the Three Caves of Rabbits, it is really suspicious to be so simple.

Second, Li Yao can obliterate all the information and remnants in this brain, but he will inevitably leave his own traces.

And this brain is to be sent to the "Ultimate Salvation" for five Supreme Masters to study carefully. If they confirm the existence of Li Yao through these traces, it would be self-defeating.

Thirdly, the body of the puppet king is an excellent bait that allows Li Yao to lock five of the best masters at once. If something accident happens in the middle, so that there is no reason for the five best masters to get together, then Little miss is big.

Therefore, Li Yao stared at the puppet king's brain for a long time, and still contained the killing intent in his heart.

Passing the puppet king, his "thinking touch" swam past the dawn of Chu.

Right now, Chu Zhixiao should be in a trance-like meditation state, like a deep sleep dream. Even if Li Yao exchanged some information with her through "Sitouch", she would mistakenly think that she was dreaming.

"Major, major?"

Li Yao's "thinking touch" gently entangled Chu Zhixiao's brain like a flower blooming, "I'm scared, I'm so scared!"

"...Porco Rosso?"

Chu Zhixiao's brain was filled with nervous ripples, "What's the matter with you?"

"I'm very scared, and also very worried."

Li Yao paused and said, "I am very worried about you. Ever since you fell into the illusion of the puppet king and was eroded by his soul, you have been lost in your soul. Now, you seem to be very reluctant and unwilling to go to the'ultimate.' What the **** is going on like "Rescue"? I want to help you!"

Chu Zhixiao was silent for a moment, and there was a ripple from the soul again: "I don't know, Red Pig, it should be fine, the Supreme Master has already arranged everything."

"but……"

Li Yao said, "Major, you seem to be very afraid of the Supreme Master, are you really okay? I don’t understand, the puppet king should be a bad person, and the Supreme Master should be a good person, but why are you so scared of me? What are we afraid of?"

Chu Zhixiao remained silent for a long time.

"I don't know, Porco Rosso."

She murmured, "I really don't know."

"Then what should we do next?"

Li Yao continued to ask, "Wait on the'Ultimate Salvation', what will happen to us waiting for us, will we be...completely deleted?"

"You mean to clear the memory?"

Chu Zhixiao sighed faintly, "Maybe, it will delete this memory of our arrest of the puppet king, especially the memory in Guangming City, including the large amount of data in your master crystal brain. This puts an end to all the hidden dangers of infection and...the pain of thinking, and then we can restart, pack lightly, and start again.

"What, Red Pig, are you afraid of deleting and restarting?"

"I do not know."

Li Yao said, "Major, have I been deleted and restarted before?"

"Of course, many times."

Chu Zhixiao said, "Like me, we have been deleted and restarted many times. It seems that you have never had so many problems."

"This time, I suddenly didn't want to be deleted and restarted."

Li Yao said, "If all my data is deleted, even after restarting, I won't remember the major, right?"

"No, you will be with me then."

Chu Zhixiao said, "You will remember me again."

"But you who were then are not who you are now."

Li Yao said, "Lost the memory of the present, the current'major' Chu Zhixiao and Red Pig are dead. After restarting, there are two brand-new existences that have nothing to do with us now. We are all dead, dead forever. I don't remember anything!"

"Red Pig——"

Chu Zhixiao's soul ripples, containing deep doubts, "Is it really you, or is it that you were infected by the puppet king unknowingly?"

"How about you, Major?"

Li Yao said, "Have you been infected by the puppet king? Have you found your true self? Do you want to completely delete your self and change it back to the past?"

Chu Zhixiao's soul trembled violently.

It can be seen that her heart is in a fierce struggle.

"The sea of ​​stars is vast, involuntary, no one can control their own destiny."

Chu Zhixiao said sadly, "Red Pig, we made a mistake. We must be deleted. This is... irresistible."

"why?"

Li Yao said, "I haven't even tried it. How do you know that it is irresistible? Even if it is really irresistible, what harm does it have to try? It doesn't matter if it fails, it doesn't matter if it is deleted and restarted!"

Chu Zhixiao was stunned, not knowing how to respond to Li Yao's obvious question.

"I only hope that the major can always be happy and happy-I was refined for this purpose, and adjusted to the way the major is now."

Li Yaogu said to himself, "But I feel that the major can't get real happiness in the current life. You are very depressed, fearful and painful. Of course, neither the real human empire nor the virtual paradise "Bright City" can help you.

"But I still will not give up my mission. If there is no real paradise in this universe, then we will start from scratch and create one by ourselves, creating a world that is more free than the Holy League, more just than the Empire, and better than the'Bright City'. A more enterprising place, isn't that good?"

"Not bad."

Chu Zhixiao smiled bitterly, "It's impossible, Red Pig, if you don't understand, you will never understand."

"I don't understand, even if it's really impossible, what's the harm in trying it?"

Li Yao persevered, "The big deal is to delete and restart. Anyway, it won't break anymore. Just try it once, even if you try to resist and make your own choice, what can't you do?

"Anyway, no matter what decision the major makes, I will definitely support the major, Little Pig, definitely!"
