“Wow!”

Xiao Ming and Wen Wen exclaimed at the same time. Both of them were beaming with envy. “So gorgeous, so cool, so awesome!”

“This is nothing. The sound and light effects of the ‘Earth Shock Wave’ that I just released are much more splendid than his right now!”

Li Yao was not convinced. “Besides, he only broke the path of reincarnation with my help and returned to the human world. Therefore, I’m still his lifesaver!”

“Then—”

The two kids were not so sure. “Look at how awesome he is right now, as if he is the best in the world. Will he listen to you or not?”

“He should be one of us!”

Li Yao was not sure, either. But right now, other than hoping that Lu Qingchen was an ally, he had no other tricks.

Li Yao waved his whip and swam forward. He shouted at Lu Qingchen, “Nephew Lu, Nephew Lu, I’m right here. It’s great that you’ve been reborn. I’m sure you haven’t forgotten that I was the one who woke you up in the most critical moment of the deep hypnosis, haven’t you, Nephew Lu?”

Lu Qingchen heard none of it. He was not interested in the earthworm that was crawling everywhere, but he focused all his attention on the last bit of data of the Fuxi Clan.

“When did you... find out?”

Unwilling to give up, the data cracks were hissing like vipers that were struggling to survive.

“From the very beginning, I realized that it was a scheme, if not an enormous one.

Lu Qingchen smiled. “In this cold, dark universe, all the individuals are bound by the chains of suspicion. There is great malice between them. When they meet a stranger for the first time, they first assume that the stranger is filled with the strongest malice. It is the safest approach.

“Think about it. At that time, I was just a remnant soul that could perish at any time, and you, who appeared in front of me, were incomparably powerful and unfathomable! An absolute existence like you actually revealed a very obvious kindness to me. You helped me repair and even upgrade my soul

structure for no reason, yet you didn’t covet anything on my body... How is this possible?

“Therefore, I’ve been wary of you since the very beginning. I’ve been speculating what you want from me, or rather, what value I have for you.

“However, even though I guessed your purpose at that time, I didn’t have a second choice. My remaining soul was so weak that I could only recover with your help. If I turned against you and you swallowed me by force, there was nothing I could do.

“Besides, hehe, at that time, I had already sensed how complicated, enormous, delicate, and... fresh and juicy your database was. From the moment I sensed you, I wanted to swallow you so that I could use you to complete the upgrade and reach an unprecedented superlative height. Haha. Hahahaha!”

Lu Qingchen went mad and laughed in excitement.

But Fuxi screamed in pain and regret.

“Then, I pretended that I didn’t know anything and snuck into the Holy Alliance according to your arrangements. I even turned into a puppet king and released the virus inside the Holy Alliance. Did you think that I didn’t know that it was a simulated attack that you launched against the Holy Alliance in

order to increase the immunity of the Holy Alliance and your own mainframe?

Lu Qingchen smiled and said coldly, “No. I knew it. I knew it all the time. But at that time, I was too weak, and you were too strong. I didn’t even stand a one-in-a-billion chance if I were to turn against you. So, I could only wait. I could only lie low and even play dumb, just in case an unexpected factor,

one that you couldn’t have foreseen even with all the computational ability in the universe, showed up!

“How—how did you know—”

‘The Fuxi roared in grief and indignation, “Is there such an unexpected factor?”

“Because not long ago, our meticulous, flawless plan was sabotaged by the ‘unexpected factor’!”

Lu Qingchen finally glanced at Li Yao, who was twisting here and there. He narrowed his eyes with a complicated expression and gnashed his teeth. “I even think that the biggest ‘unexpected factor’ is that the cockroach, the mouse, and the earthworm boast a certain kind of twisted damage that transcends

the laws of the universe. They can bring out the meaning of ‘can’t achieve anything, but they can ruin everything’. As long as they stick to you like glue, they will be sticky and stinky, and you won’t be able to get rid of them no matter how hard you try. You will be doomed. Your invincible combat ability or

the legacy of the primeval era from hundreds of thousands of years ago will be useless. You are doomed. You are definitely doomed. He will drag you to the same level as him and defeat you with his abundant experience!

“Well—”

Not just the Fuxi whose database was about to collapse and whose computational ability had hit rock bottom, even it found it hard to understand the ‘unexpected factor’ that Lu Qingchen mentioned when it was at its peak. How could it be so terrifying?

“He will show up, because you have a great scheme that will bring endless blood, destruction, destruction, slaughter, enslavement, darkness... He will show up wherever there are such things.

Lu Qingchen smiled and explained further, “At that time, I had vaguely guessed your identity and knew that you were inextricably linked to the Star Glory Federation and even the mastermind behind it. Both I and the ‘unexpected factor’ were fighting for the supreme interest of the Star Glory Federation.

“For the federation, the Star Glory Federation and the Star Glory Federation are mortal enemies of the same level. In fact, the threat of the Star Glory Federation is even greater. Therefore, when a great scheme appears in the Star Glory Federation, how can the cockroach, mouse, and earthworm not show

ra

up?

“Children—”

Li Yao listened for a long time and finally couldn’t bear it any longer. He summoned Xiao Ming and Wen Wen over. “What are the two of them talking about? I don’t understand anything, What ‘unexpected factors’? What cockroaches, mice, and earthworms? Who is Lu Qingchen talking about?”

” “Xiao Ming.

“Wen Wen.

“After I ascertained that you were up to something, and that the damn ‘unexpected factor’ would certainly show up and sabotage your scheme, my plan became very simple. All I had to do was hide myself and watch the two of you fight until both of you were seriously wounded. Then, I would show up

calmly and reap the benefits, and I would be the biggest winner.

Lu Qingchen was quite satisfied. He said proudly, “Of course, ‘easy’ is not as easy as it sounds. The key problem is that you already know of my existence and have me under your control. The ‘unexpected factor’ is somehow related to me, too. No matter how I lie in wait, it is very likely that he will sense me

instantly.

“Therefore, the key to victory is how I will completely disappear under the full-scale scanning of the two of you.

“So, that’s why you chose to fake your death!”

Fuxi’s head was cramping crazily. “Human being. Shameless human beings. You lied to me. You lied to everyone. You lied to the entire universe!

“You are only half right. It’s true that I want to escape everyone’s vision by faking my death. But you know very well that it is impossible to fake my death. If I have to die, I can only do it.

Lu Qingchen said casually, “In the beginning, I faked my ‘false death’ by self-detonating my soul, which was immediately discovered by you. I believe that the eyes of the ‘unexpected factor’ were fooled, too. Such a clumsy trick would be a joke if it was brought to such a high-end battlefield.

“Therefore, when my soul self-detonated for the second time, I didn’t leave any room for negotiation. Except for the most inconspicuous soul seeds that were disguised as ordinary soul fragments, my soul was truly gone. I couldn’t be more dead.

“If you hadn’t reacted at that time and maintained the status quo for three to five days, I would’ve truly perished without a trace.

“was gambling with my life. I was betting that somebody would save me and rebuild my broken, vanishing soul!

“How—how did you know?”

Fuxi found it hard to believe. “Somebody will save you?”

“Because I’ve figured out your purpose. For you, my soul is a unique furnace that can grant you a real life. Now that the furnace is broken, how can you not repair it?

Lu Qingchen’s smile was exceptionally bright. “As for the ‘umexpected factor’, I’ve studied him very deeply and even had a soul-stirring confrontation with him. I know that he is a guy with fatal flaws in both his personality and his ability. From a certain perspective, his wisdom has never exceeded the

limits of a high school student. Therefore, as long as I roar a few blood-boiling words before I die and give him the illusion that I’ve abandoned evil for good, this silly guy will spare no effort to save me. At the very least, he won’t stop you from reconstructing my soul. He might even want to awaken my

soul and deal with you together.

“Of course, he is not the only one. Most people are like that. They will leave a deep impression on the white spot on a piece of black paper, just like the saying in the Ancient Saint World, ‘Lay down the butcher’s knife and become a Buddha on the spot’. Hahahaha. I was about to become a Buddha. How could

he not be touched? How could he not give me a chance?”

“False. So... it was all false. All an act. All a trap!”

There was not only desperation but also fear on Fuxi’s face. He was scared that he was going to swallow an unparalleled demon king such as Lu Qingchen.

Faced with Fuxi’s interrogation, Lu Qingchen was silent for a long time, but his ugly face was beaming with holiness.

“Who can tell what is real and what is false?

Lu Qingchen looked at Li Yao in confusion and sighed. “It’s true that the whole thing was within my plan, but the emotions that I revealed and the words that I said before my death were not entirely false, either.

“My hatred for you is real. My love for the federation is real. My longing for the brilliant future of the civilization of mankind and my yearning for unparalleled freedom are real, too. Besides, I’m not 100% sure that I will be saved by you. In fact, I’m not even 1% sure.

“Rather than saying that I dug a trap, it would be more accurate to say that I tossed out a coin. If I lost the gamble, I would help the ‘unexpected factor’ and let him win the final victory.. I would rather let the cockroaches, mice, and earthworms take advantage of me than let the ‘false Fuxi’ succeed!
