Every vein inside Li Yao’s body seemed to have turned into a hollow cone of ice, with the most scorching magma flowing inside. His face was now grim and now blus.h.i.+ng, while he lowered his voice with his best, “Anything—Anything else?”

“There is. A lot of details are described in the warning,” Professor w.a.n.g said. “First of all, the warning told the members of the Pangu Clan in the outside world that the ‘spy of the Pangu Clan’ must not be allowed to touch crystals or Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures that contained high energy because the ‘original body’ was in the most vulnerable ‘fetus’ state when it was just born and could not remember many things or master very powerful techniques. It would be the best opportunity to destroy her!

“However, if she got in touch with astronomical energy and resources, her growth could be most astonis.h.i.+ng, and she might surpa.s.s the tipping point and turn into a dreadful ‘mature body’. By then, even the guardians of an entire planet might not be able to stop her!”

Li Yao gulped hard. “Well…”

“Secondly,” Professor w.a.n.g continued, “the warning informed the Nuwa Clan that the ‘spy of the Pangu Clan’ must not be allowed to touch crystal processors of high computational abilities because her evolution seemed to concern a lot of very complicated computational problems. Only with the a.s.sistance of high-level crystal processors could she surpa.s.s the most critical threshold and completely unlock the boundless strength inside her body and the memories from hundreds of thousands of years ago.”

Li Yao scratched his cheeks hard, his face gloomier than ever. “Anything else?”

“Lastly, and most critically, she must not be allowed to touch the members of the Nuwa Clan outside or human beings, and she must be strictly forbidden from… Well, the symbol here has a similar meaning to our ‘Spiritual Nexus’. Yes. She must be strictly forbidden from cybers.p.a.ce.

“Because she obviously came with a certain destiny of the Pangu Clan and would likely seal all the members of the Nuwa Clan and human beings that she encountered by eradicating their feelings, desires, and will. She would even turn the entire world into a silent grave through cybers.p.a.ce.

“Therefore, at the end of the warning, it was written in the harshest tone to remind the soldiers of the Nuwa Clan outside that the spy of the Pangu Clan was an extremely, extremely, extremely dangerous being and that she must be completely obliterated without any hesitation and at any cost, even if an entire planet had to be razed to the ground!

“President Li, it is getting serious now. We thought that the automatic alarm system on the Nuwa wars.h.i.+p was triggered because the seals of the Pangu laboratory were broken. We didn’t know that some of Pangu’s forces already escaped when the seals of the laboratory were broken a hundred years ago and even corrupted a certain ‘original body’ of the Nuwa Clan!

“In other words, it is very possible that a spy of the Pangu Clan in the form of the Nuwa Clan has been active in the Ancient Sages Sector since more than a hundred years ago. She has lurked and grown for a hundred years, but we did not know the first thing about it and even built a universal bridge that connects the federation to the Ancient Sages Sector in our ignorance! That—That is really—”

Professor w.a.n.g coughed hard.

Li Yao was immediately soaked in sweat. The veins on his temples jumped like infuriated earthworms. He was about to inform all the stars.h.i.+ps, all the defense lines, and every Exo to raise their wariness to the highest when a new communication request was sent over.

It was from Long Yangjun.

Li Yao’s pupils constricted to the minimum, and he jumped to his feet.

Managing to control his shaking hands, Li Yao approved the communication request. Long Yangjun’s smiling face immediately appeared on the light beam.

However, there was nothing but silver in the background. She seemed to be crouching on an enormous egg-shaped seat. It was impossible to tell where she was.

“Huh. Why are you sweating so hard as if you just got out of a pond?” Long Yangjun approached the light beam, her face growing bigger and bigger, as she observed Li Yao carefully. Then she opened her hands and said, “Forgive me. I was occupied and did not have time to chat with you until this moment. You don’t mind it, do you?”

“No, not at all.” Li Yao wiped his sweat with his sleeves hard. He asked, his voice dry and sour, “Let me ask you a few questions. Well, first of all, have you been in touch with high-energy crystals, precious Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, and things like that?”

“Of course!” Long Yangjun nodded hard. “After we saved the Star Glory Federation together, everybody in the federation regarded us as heroes. I could get whatever crystals and Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures I wanted. In fact, most of them were supplied by the Glorious Sunlight Group under your name. I said that it was enough, and I did not need that much for my training. But you insisted that I should keep it, claiming that I should make myself at home in the Glorious Sunlight Group and that I could take whatever I need. I was almost touched by your hospitality. Don’t you remember it?”

“…I seem to have indeed done that. Then, have you touched advanced crystal processors of high computational abilities?”

“Of course I have. Why else would I go through all the trouble of joining the team to investigate ‘Extraterrestrial Devil Mo Xuan’ if not for the high-level crystal processors in Hundred Flowers City?” Long Yangjun admitted frankly. “Of course, it seems to be a redundant move in retrospect because the Glorious Sunlight Group has a fairly large stock of high-level crystal processors, too. Didn’t you give me special permission so that I could use them unlimitedly? The computational ability of those crystal processors was more or less enough for my training.Read more chapter on vipnovel.com

“All in all, I have walked this far, turning from an ignorant eunuch of the Ancient Sages Sector into… whatever I am right now, all thanks to you. I should really express my grat.i.tude for your sincere support and selfless help. Thank you very much, Li Yao!”

“You’re f*cking welcome. Thirdly, have you been in touch with a lot of people or the Spiritual Nexus… Forget it. I already know the answer.”

“Okay!” Long Yangjun said with a smile. “Anything else you want to ask? This is your last opportunity. I will tell you everything completely and truthfully!”

Before Li Yao realized what ‘last opportunity’ meant, the picture on the light beam began to shake quickly. Long Yangjun’s smiling face and her body were both blurred, as if she was gradually vanis.h.i.+ng.

At first, Li Yao thought that it was because of signal transmission, but a moment later, it suddenly occurred to him that Long Yangjun must be in the middle of a device similar to an ‘escape capsule’, and it was about to be launched!

In a hurry, Li Yao turned on all the surveillance pictures in the outside world. However, the Land of Eternal Night still had nothing but white snow and a gloomy sky. No other aircrafts could be spotted at all except the federation’s own stars.h.i.+ps!

“You can stop wasting your time.” Long Yangjun yawned lightly. “The ‘teleporter’ that I’m on right now is beyond the detection of the current technology of the federation, not to mention affecting me or shooting me down. Also, my signals have been delivered to you after transferring through a dozen stations. You can’t trace it back to the source of the signals at all, at least not before I take off!

“Instead of sweating hard and wasting your time for nothing, why don’t we sit down and talk nicely in whatever time we have left? What do you think?”

“Fair enough.” Looking at Long Yangjun who was smiling lightheartedly on the picture that was gradually stabilizing, Li Yao tried his best to contain himself from crawling into the light beam and choking her. Taking a deep breath, he sat down and looked at her with a complicated expression. “What… are you exactly? Are you really a spy of the Pangu Clan in the form of the Nuwa Clan as the warning said?”

COMMENT

“So, you have deciphered the warning. It’s a pity that even the surveillance system of the Nuwa wars.h.i.+p did not understand what I went through in my ’embryo’. Or maybe, it was because such a thing had never happened before.”

Long Yangjun was slightly dazed. Then she smiled.

“It is inaccurate to say that I am a spy of the Pangu Clan. At the very least, in my mind, the strength of the Pangu Clan does not completely suppress the strength of the Nuwa Clan. They are on par with each other and coexist in the depths of my soul, giving me two strengths, two ideologies, and two paths at the same time. So, what am I exactly? To be honest, I would like to know the answer, too!”

Li Yao found it hard to believe. “So, you are half Pangu and half Nuwa?”

“Maybe.” Long Yangjun shrugged. “I really did not lie to you. I truly did not know what I was in the beginning other than being a child who was born and raised in the Ancient Sages Sector with uncanny techniques and who had bizarre nightmares since childhood. Even though I found my way into the royal library in the palace to explore everything, and after I read all the books in the world, I couldn’t find an answer to the mysteries of my birth.

“It was not until we met inside the Nuwa wars.h.i.+p that the fuzzy memories inside my brain finally turned clear. After all the battles we went through in the Star Glory Federation, and especially after I got in touch with the high-level crystal processors and the almost infinite resources, I finally began to understand who I am.

“But the more I understood, the more confused I became because I always felt that two entirely opposite strengths existed in my soul. One of them was absolute control, and the other was absolute indulgence. They were hostile to each other and attacked, swallowed, and transformed each other. It almost drove me mad!

“Take the battle against the extraterrestrial devils in Hundred Flowers City for example. There were two distinct voices in the depths of my soul. One of them asked me to wipe out the extraterrestrial devils and even everyone that got in touch with them mercilessly without leaving any hidden problem behind, even at the cost of blowing up the whole of Hundred Flowers City.

“The other voice, however, advised me to take the extraterrestrial devils’ side and help them to complete the plan to virtualize mankind so that we could see what kind of interesting changes happened later.

“The two voices were equally unquestionable, filled with threat and enticement, almost irresistible. Had they not been conflicting and offsetting each other, I really don’t know what kind of which I would’ve made at that time!”
