Chapter 2634: I Have Never Heard Such a Request Before!

“Li Yao, I have sensed that the frequency of your soul is highly unsteady. It seems that every once in a while, particularly when everybody is cheering for the Imperium, your soul will suffer a certain intense, mysterious stimulation.”

Wuying Qi’s soul sent such a thought to Li Yao’s soul. “You seem to be reserving something to yourself. Do you have any other secrets?”

“Well—”

Li Yao’s soul was as insignificant as a grain of dust before the black sun, yet it was glowing with uncertainties. “N-No. Long live the Imperium! Long Live your Majesty! Long live Divinity Transformation Stage! Ew…”

“Have you not understood the magnitude of the Next Sun Plan to this moment? You are still unwilling to obey my will?”

From the black sun, the tentacles of light as tiny as hair stabbed into Li Yao’s soul after zigzagging for a while, imposing the most intense mental attacks again. “I am the country, I am the sun, I am the universe, and n.o.body should keep anything to themselves before me. Come on, spit it out. Give me your secrets!”

As Wuying Qi spoke, the grains of dust all around that represented the consciousness of the individuals also spread out countless rays that looked like nerves, surging into Li Yao’s brain in a hurry and connecting to his soul.

“Come on! Spit it out!”

“There’s no need to keep anything to yourself! Tell all the secrets to His Majesty like us!”

“His Majesty is our true G.o.d and the only dominator. Whoever keeps any secret from His Majesty will be the greatest traitor of mankind!”

“Come on! Come on! Speak it out! Speak it out like the rest of us!”

They were the people who had been hypnotized by Wuying Qi and who intended to further “corrupt Li Yao” in the resonance of absolute obedience.

Such collective hysteria, like the cross-infection of viruses, made it impossible for anybody in the network to escape.

Of course, if a certain unconventional, highly-provocative thing appeared on the network, it would spread to every terminal on the network and be received by every soul and every brain.

Li Yao continued his pale resistance and talked nonsense as if he had been cornered. “Really. I have truly 100% surrendered to Your Majesty and realized that Your Majesty is the sun, the moon, and the stars. However, no matter how submissive I am, I am ent.i.tled to a personal life, am I not? Really, Your Majesty, you wouldn’t want to see my ultimate secret. It’s just one of my quirks that are not worth mentioning at all. Please allow me to… collect and appreciate them on my own!”

“Huh?”

Wuying Qi’s voice turned even colder and more indifferent. The rays of light that pierced into Li Yao’s soul groped for Li Yao’s ultimate secret like a snake that was spurting venom. “Li Yao, you are such a disappointment. I thought you were a smart guy who was capable of making a sensible choice. It never occurred to me that…”

“I am indeed not stupid, but this secret is simply too… too terrible!”

Li Yao sounded both wronged and upset. “If Your Majesty learns it, Your Majesty will definitely be infuriated and execute me. That’s why I dare not invite Your Majesty to appreciate them.”

“Hehe. What kind of secrets are worth my thunderous fury?”

Wuying Qi’s voice was filled with the laughter of disdain. “The best they can be are just some other schemes and boring tricks that you want to play.

“However, you have seen and even sensed with your own soul that my ‘Next Sun Plan’ has succeeded. The best soldiers of the entire Imperium have all recognized the correct path and are obeying my will! Starting from this second, a new epoch of the civilization of mankind has begun. Even though all the G.o.ds and devils in the entire universe arrive, they cannot stop my determination! What can you accomplish with your petty tricks?

“Come on. Publicize your ultimate secrets, clear the last obstacles in your mind, and kneel before my feet sincerely just like other people and be the sharpest saber in my hands. I guarantee that I will pardon all of your crimes and your boring tricks!”

“Come on! Come on!”

The souls around that had been deeply brainwashed also shouted, “Reveal your secrets! His Majesty will benevolently pardon all your crimes! His Majesty is too invincible to bother with any tricks!”

“F-Fine!”

Li Yao’s soul seemed to have been mired in a swamp under the interference of so many waves. He mumbled to himself, “Since Your Majesty has put it that way, it seems inappropriate if I still don’t open my mind. However, I have to prepare myself and adjust my mood first. To be honest, I have never seen such an outrageous request before in my entire life. This is rather embarra.s.sing for me!”

“… Your soul is resisting my investigation. In such ma.s.sive enlightenment and collective reverberation of the souls, your soul still retains such high independence. What did you do? What are you hiding deep inside your soul?”

The black sun glowed ominously as Wuying Qi’s keen senses detected a few abnormal waves. He spoke warily, “You are only stalling me. You have been stalling me since the beginning. What exactly are you waiting for, Vulture Li Yao?”

The black sun constricted violently and spat out hundreds of tentacles of light, which surged at Li Yao’s soul together and tried to tear apart Li Yao’s soul to expose the secret.

But at such a moment, the illusionary universe that had been pure black was torn apart by the brilliance that was as red as blood in a corner. It appeared that a red supernova had burst out on the opposite side of the black sun!

A new red star, which was small but equally dazzling, had risen!

Hardly had the red star been born when its light spread across the whole illusionary universe, or the brainwas.h.i.+ng waves released by the Gold Crystal Pyramid, like a b.l.o.o.d.y tide. With the enhancement of the real star, it swept across the brains of all the Immortal Cultivators in the Empyreal Terminus Sector, standing on par with the black sun, which was Wuying Qi’s will!

The red star also yielded countless red stripes, which pierced into the superma.s.sive nerval network that Wuying Qi established through his hard work, somewhat “hijacking” the Gold Crystal Pyramid and the Next Sun Plan!

“Excuse me, but he has been waiting for me!”

A c.o.c.ky and gloating face with an identical look to Li Yao’s surfaced on the red star. Who else could it have been if not the mental devil that snuck into the mainframe crystal processor of the Gold Crystal Pyramid earlier?

The mental devil grimaced at Wuying Qi first before it shouted loudly at Li Yao, “What are you waiting for? Now is the time, Li Yao! I have temporarily compromised the defense system of the Gold Crystal Pyramid, and it can be hijacked in about ten minutes. It is all yours in ten minutes. Release the filthiest stuff in your heart to the universe!”

“… Although your words can be quite misleading, I understand what you mean. Then let’s bring it on!”

The mental devil’s arrival made Li Yao go through drastic changes. It seemed that under the illumination of the red star, even the insignificant dust had emanated the light that eclipsed the dark sun.

Taking a deep breath, Li Yao sent the most grievous thought to Wuying Qi. “Your Majesty, whatever happens later, and no matter how you hate, despise, beat me, and treat me like a shameless sc.u.mbag, you must believe that this is not part of my plan at all. I only thought to construct a minor mental defense for myself. Who could’ve foreseen that it would end up like this? Really, n.o.body wanted to go this far. It is you who insisted on reading my greatest secret. In that case, just let… just let everybody watch it until they are satisfied!”

Instantly, the insignificant dust that was Li Yao was melted with the mental devil, the rising red star. Like fuel that was poured onto fire, it raised astounding changes again.

Countless information streams, like raging floods and rivers, swept across everyone’s brain instantly.

They were all the most vivid, detailed action movies without any traces of modification, vigorous, and alluring.

Wuying Qi’s solemn face that was wors.h.i.+pped by billions of people had been neatly transplanted to the graceful bodies, presenting the scenes of primitive nudity.

The despicable pictures, the thought-provoking sound effects, and the lines that Li Yao wrote for Wuying Qi himself had all been transformed into the purest information that was branded into everyone’s brain, including Wuying Qi’s!

“Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!”

Wuying Qi was the first one to take the hit. Caught unprepared, it was like somebody had stabbed a burning stick into his back, lifted him up, and smacked him in the face nonstop.

Even though he was the ancestor of the Immortal Cultivators, even though he was the heir to the Blood G.o.d, and even though he was the visionary, ambitious first commander, one true G.o.d, and the highest dominator… he had never foreseen, nor could he bear, such intense stimulations at such a critical moment on such an occasion!

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Deafening explosions echoed from deep inside the black sun. It was the sounds that Wuying Qi’s soul had been seriously damaged, and that his brain was bleeding hard.

“What is that?!”

His screams were more twisted than before, sounding more shocked than angry, if not somewhat stunned. He seemed unaware of what was happening. “What is that exactly?”

“Nothing. Like I said, it’s just my personal hobby and my private life!”

Li Yao replied innocently, “I really never meant to take them out. They were only for my own appreciation. But you were so aggressive and demanded me to present them. We have so many eyewitnesses here who can testify that it was you who asked me to present them. Also, you had pardoned me in advance!”
