On the other side of the sea of stars, deep inside the darkness, in the mindspace of the ‘Fuxi’ that was made of thousands of starships.

“Lwonder how Ding Lingdang is doing. Has the federation learned of my disappearance and the latest intelligence about the complicated situation in the center of the sea of stars? Have they made the right choice?

Li Yao thought to himself, Also, what’s the progress of the joint fleet of Lei Chenghu and Boss Bai? Can the two disobedient commanders fight side by side without any hesitation and annihilate the remaining members of the four electors’ families?

“What about the imperial capital?

“although Xiao Ming and Wen Wen’s computational ability far exceeds that of ordinary human beings and even Cultivators, they don’t have much experience in such large-scale strategical battles. Compared to the ‘Fuxi’ that has existed for hundreds of thousands of years, they are still kids!

“When will the fleet of the Fuxi fleet jump to the Empyrean Terminus Sector and Empyreal Terminus? The commanding methods of the two sides are similar, but will the ‘Fuxi’ take the opportunity to hack Xiao Ming’s and Wen Wen’s Spiritual Nexus or even swallow the two little guys?”

‘Thousands of questions were popping up in Li Yao’s head.

Pondering for a long time, he still couldn’t find an answer. He could only smile bitterly. Right now, he was like a clay Buddha crossing a river. He couldn’t even protect himself. He didn’t know whether or not he could escape from the ‘Fuxi’s’ dragnet. How could he have the spare energy to care about the

people of the imperium and the federation?

He could only believe that those people would not disappoint him and would show up in time.

Before that, he had to find a way to survive in such a harsh environment and cause the greatest damage.

Li Yao calmed himself down and spread out his telepathic thoughts again, scanning his surroundings.

Over the past few days, with the interference caused by Lu Qingchen’s self-detonation, Li Yao’s soul had invaded the periphery of the core database of ‘Fuxi’.

But since the ‘Fuxi’ had survived in the sea of stars for hundreds of thousands of years from the primeval era to the modem era, they were definitely not ordinary people.

In its entire thinking network, infrastructure, and core database, data traps and logic bombs were everywhere. All kinds of rules and virus-killing programs were patrolling like hounds and sharks, searching for the intrusion of any abnormal data.

Li Yao could only tread carefully and spend a lot of time infiltrating the deepest part of the ‘thoughts’ of the Fuxis.

At first glance, the place looked like a boundless universe, or a bottomless ocean. The sea of stars and the ocean were two very similar environments in the eyes of human beings.

Countless spots and ripples were shining close and far. They looked both like burning cosmic bodies and the bizarre and ugly creatures in the depths of the ocean, such as venomous jellyfish and devil fish.

Li Yao knew that they were the ‘guards’ that protected the core database of the Fuxi Clan. In the eyes of human beings, they were white blood cells, and in the eyes of Li Yao’s memories on Earth, they were ‘anti-venom procedures’.

With Li Yao’s weird life form and the mutation ability of the mental devil’s virus, he was not scared that a single antivirus program would bother him.

In fact, if the simple antivirus program came close and tried to swallow Li Yao, Li Yao could very easily swallow them and analyze their structure.

Then, Li Yao and the mental devil would transform into the antivirus program and continue marching toward the depths of Fuxi’s mind.

It was a trick that Li Yao had performed time and time again over the past few days. He had been diving deeper and deeper with such a technique and was about to touch the core of the Fuxi’s brain, which was equivalent to the pivot of the human brain.

Of course, the Fuxi was not stupid enough to be fooled by Li Yao time and time again. It soon realized Li Yao’s approach and adjusted the structure and attack of the anti-virus program. It calculated the latest form of the anti-virus program in real time and added a series of unknown serial numbers to the

secret places. The numbers were changing randomly almost every second, making it difficult for Li Yao to simulate them to the same level.

‘When one of the ‘anti-venom programs’ discovered abnormal data, the other anti-venom programs nearby would immediately change into a form that even the mental devil could not analyze quickly.

Such a method of defense was quite tricky for Li Yao. Therefore, he was not willing to approach the data traps, logic bombs, white blood cells, and antivirus programs outside of the core database of the Fuxi Clan. He simply moved forward in the tide of data that ‘Fuxi’ spat out billions of times every

second.

At least, he had snuck in and was safe for now.

It was like a flea carrying all kinds of viruses. When it was crawling on the skin that was most sensitive to human beings, it could be slapped or pinched to death easily.

However, if the fleas had crawled into the flesh through the wounds, or if the virus on the fleas had invaded the body and crawled into the brain through the internal organs, it would be hard to detect or kill them because the internal organs and the brain could not feel anything.

Of course, most viruses did not deal as much damage to the human body as one might imagine. The most common ‘cold virus’ could be cured easily. If Li Yao, a tiny virus, wanted to turn into an angry bullet and crush the giant that was the Fuxi in the blink of an eye, he would have to learn more about the

structure and weaknesses of the Fuxi and mutate into a deadly virus that targeted the Fuxi.

“Are you sure that the search and investigation of the Fuxis has been greatly undermined, and we can release our telepathic thoughts to scan the data environment unscrupulously?”

Li Yao asked the mental devil in a low voice, “Logically speaking, it is impossible for the Fuxi to tolerate a ‘virus’ such as us stirring trouble in its core database, right?”

“Logically speaking, it is intolerable, but I’m afraid that the Fuxi Clan does not have enough computational ability to manage us right now.

The mental devil replied, “Lu Qingchen’s soul self-detonation is aimed at the array of the core crystal processors of the Fuxis. Its damage is definitely not to be underestimated. I estimate that the defense of the Fuxis will be seriously damaged, and their computational ability will be greatly undermined.

“At that time, it will be the critical moment of the strategical war between the army and the Imperium of True Human Beings. There is no way that it will be delayed for even half a second, nor will it be distracted by us. 100% of its computational ability, or at least 90%, will be devoted to the assembling

and jumping of the warships.

“A minor error in a space jump can lead to a major disaster. Even a one or two percent reduction in computational ability might cause dozens of main force warships to be lost in the four-dimensional storm and be crushed by the tides of space ripples. If you were a Fuxi, would you be able to bear such

losses?

“If I were a Fuxi—”

Li Yao blurted out without even thinking, “I would rather postpone the date of the strategical final battle by half a month and concentrate all my computational ability on a ‘complete cleansing’ of my brain so that all the flies, fleas, and mice will be cleared out. Huh. Am I not indirectly calling myself a fly,

a flea, and a mouse? Anyway, you know what I mean!”

“The logic is correct, but it is very difficult to do so in reality. The most important thing is time. Fuxi is running out of time.

The mental devil analyzed, “First of all, although the ‘final battle in the sea of stars’ that Fuxi demonstrated to Lu Qingchen was false and a simulation based on the big data, the feeling of the space jump and the four-dimensional space when the fleet of the Fuxi fleet jumped to somewhere near the

Empyrean Terminus Sector and the Empyrean Terminus Planet was something that you and I experienced in person. No matter how good the computational ability of the Fuxi fleet is, it is not enough to simulate the four-dimensional space. That would be too terrifying.

“Therefore, the fleet of the Fuxi fleet is indeed in the dark space zone near the Empyreal Terminus Sector, which is equivalent to a desert.

“In such a lifeless, dark space zone, where there is no spiritual energy, no resources, and not even the tiniest bit of stellar radiation, all the resources are dependent on the input from the outside world. The consumption of resources every second is astronomical, not to mention every day. How long can

the resource supply of the Holy Alliance, which is running low, last?

“Besides, this place is near the base of the imperium after all. Who can guarantee that the imperium will not launch scout starships or ‘star children’ in this direction? One more day of lurking means one more risk of being discovered. Once they are discovered, the advantage of sudden attacks will be gone.

“Thirdly, and most importantly, the fleet of the Fuxis took advantage of the civil war of the imperium when the reinforcements had yet to arrive. That was why they dared to stab into the heart of the imperium.

“With every passing day, Lei Chenhu and Boss Bai’s coalition army will be more likely to defeat the remaining members of the four electors and reinforce the defense line of the capital city. The reinforcements of the Star Glory Federation might show up in the capital city at any time, too. Once Lei Chenhu,

Boss Bai’s fleet, and the reinforcements of the federation gather in the capital city, it will be a tough battle for the Fuxis.

“Therefore, although the Fuxis knew that we would stir trouble in their core database, they could only swallow their anger and deal with the capital city first.

“Speed. Speed is everything for the current Fuxi!

“Besides, we, uh, your performance when you were faced with the Fuxis must’ve confused them, too, and made them think that you were just an ordinary, insignificant, and ordinary guy and that they did not need to care too much about you. What if you were ‘digested’ under the immense pressure?

“Are you serious?”

Li Yao was not satisfied. “Am I that plain? Lu Qingchen reminded the Fuxi to pay attention to me. They are not idiots!”

“The Fuxis are not fools, but they are not smart people, either. Or rather, they are not human beings at all!

“Haven’t you realized it yet?” the mental devil said. “The Fuxi is just a ‘weak artificial intelligence’ that is functioning based on certain rules. It does not have such a thing as ‘intuition’ and can only determine the degree of your danger based on the files and logic in the database. But you… only one genius

appears every forty thousand years. There are no precedents in its database at all. Therefore, it has probably not figured out how to evaluate and deal with us yet..
