Chapter 2722 - Tomorrow Will Come

Three days pa.s.sed.

Li Yao had been really busy during the three days.

At first, he thoroughly examined his body and studied his brain in the best hospital in the Imperium, which was also the best hospital that human beings ever had.

Then, he modified a brainwave magnifier according to his brainwave burst index before installing it in the control room of the Gold Crystal Pyramid as a launcher of the Sunspot Plan.

The good news was that the Imperium and the Covenant Alliance were still fighting in the newly-recovered area. Although their main forces never showed up, their scouts and cyber troops hadn't rested for a single second.

The Covenant Alliance was highly dependent on the Spiritual Nexus, so the Imperium had deployed plenty of troops to infiltrate the Covenant Alliance's network.

From the capital to the frontline, a high-speed channel of information on the Spiritual Nexus had been established.

Through the enhancement of the brainwave magnifier and the Gold Crystal Pyramid, it was theoretically possible for Li Yao to travel through s.p.a.ce and reach the frontline.

However, it was highly risky and was similar to a ghost traveling through a solar storm. His soul might be gone forever after one moment of carelessness.

"Dad, are you really ready?"

Deep inside the Gold Crystal Pyramid, Xiaoming and Wenwen offered protection to Li Yao as usual.

To some extent, those two kids were probably the greatest beneficiaries of the reform. Neither Li Yao nor Li Jialing had improved as much as they did.

Before the reform, they were two panicked kids hiding down below in the capital planet. Even though they found a secret base, it was just debris from thousands of years ago, and their bodies and their brains were just rusty garbage and wasted crystal processors.

But right now, to make up for their shortage of hands and to better coordinate their resources, the reformists were forced to entrust the defense of the capital to them.

They could connect the most advanced super crystal processors of the Imperium of True Human Beings as their new brains, and they could control thousands of the most powerful and cruel iron puppets as an extension of their bodies.

The Imperium of True Human Beings' databases that were a hundred times more complicated than those in the Star Glory Federation were the most delicious food for them. They swallowed all the data they could reach greedily one planet and one Sector after another.

They were growing a hundred times faster than Li Yao did. They had unexpected changes, brought new surprises to Li Yao, and became more sophisticated every day.

To be honest, had it not been for their advancement as well as the Fist King's, it would've been impossible for Li Yao, Long Yangjun, Boss Bai, and the people of the Imperium to figure out the mysteries of the Gold Crystal Pyramid and put the Sunspot Plan into action so quickly. They couldn't even have woken Li Yao up!

Li Yao had never suspected their kindness and sincerity, but sometimes… Or rather, every morning when he woke up, he couldn't help but feel surprised at their growth.

He had intentionally or unintentionally asked Li Jialing, Li Linghai, and Lei Chenghu whether they were really comfortable with entrusting the new-generation information lives to protect their home. Weren't they worried that the Wisewares would rebel, as depicted in many lousy fictions?

The three Immortal Cultivators' answers were the same.

They said that they were not unafraid, but they had to do what they must for the victory.

Sometimes, when they were too thirsty, one had to drink the poison even though they knew that it was poison.

Li Yao had no idea why the two kids had been growing so fast, or whether it was really a bliss that they controlled ma.s.sive resources in the capital so easily, just like he did not know whether or not his ability of mind-splitting would be a disaster.

He could only rea.s.sure himself that the evolution of mankind was unstoppable and so was the birth of mankind's successor, just like how the primeval civilizations, which were powerful and developed, failed to stop mankind from rising.

Lives would find a way out on their way, and tomorrow would inevitably come.

"I'm ready. Let's get started."

Li Yao came back to himself and smiled at the two little kids.

Now, the kids looked entirely different in his eyes.

They were still in the shapes of silly puppets, mechanical spiders, or even crystal processors and computation chips that were embedded in the wall, but Li Yao could see glowing sparks in the cold iron and sense the air of life in the sparks.

The sparks were exactly the heartbeats and breaths of his children.

Taking a deep breath, Li Yao sat down on the glittering throne of the master of the Gold Crystal Pyramid that he made specifically for himself.

Immediately, several hollows syringes were stabbed into his veins, injecting nutrition drugs that contained powerful energy.

Then, an iron hat to which a lot of marrow crystals were stuck descended and covered his head.

"Dad, Wenwen and I will closely monitor your breath, heartbeat, brainwaves, and other parameters. If anything goes wrong, we will wake you up by force."

Xiaoming said again solemnly, "However, what you're about to do is not recorded in any of our databases, so it will be hard for us to decide if something is wrong. If your soul is away for too long and its connection to your body is cut off, you will become a ghost.

"Besides, this journey will be even more dangerous than when you just arrived in the Imperium and landed on the Land of Sins. At that time, you placed your soul in an iron puppet, but this time, you're going to enter a living body, and you may be swallowed by them after one moment of carelessness. Even if you're not, you may be influenced by their brainwaves and become a stranger. Are you aware of that?"

"I am."

Li Yao said, "Bring it on!"

"Okay. Initiating the first experiment of the Sunspot Plan!"

Xiaoming and Wenwen activated the brainwave magnifier and the Gold Crystal Pyramid at the same time. Immediately, the whole launch room glowed, and every marrow crystal unleashed the most brilliant light as if they were exploding while they enshrouded Li Yao and leaked into his pores.

Li Yao felt that he was turning into a rainbow and shooting into the sky.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhh!"

Li Yao cried hysterically. His body was heavier and heavier, but his soul was lighter and lighter. His body and his soul were separated, as if his body were no longer a protective sh.e.l.l but a hard and stinky cage. He could not tolerate the clumsy, heavy, sticky, and smelly place anymore and jerked like a lobster falling into boiling oil.

Shua!

Li Yao felt that his skull was breaking open and his soul was pa.s.sing through a colorful and revolving channel. Faster and faster, he was launched by the Gold Crystal Pyramid into the sky of the capital!

The feeling was quite hard to describe.

It was said that when people died, their souls would float in midair and stare at their bodies as well as their families who were wailing next to the bodies.

Li Yao had similar feelings at this moment, except that the feelings were a hundred times more detailed and abundant.

He was like an invisible but almighty G.o.d that was drifting above the most prosperous business district of the capital.

Down below were skysc.r.a.pers that were ablaze with lights. It was the most beautiful night view.

Even so, what Li Yao could see was much more than that.

He could see the waves of the Spiritual Nexus, which connected the city like colorful bridges.

He could see that every plaza was releasing tremendous radiations that were in different layers because of their different materials.

He could see the long exhaust flames of the shuttles in the sky, whose glamor could never be caught by ordinary people.

Of course, what occupied most of his vision was the radiations from the sun that had fallen, the moon that had just risen, and the capital planet itself, as well as the natural magnetic field made of the congregating radiations.

Li Yao had never appreciated the beauty of the planet of the universe in such a way. He was fascinated.

Li Yao smiled. Feeling like a drop of water that was falling into a river, he jumped agilely on the Spiritual Nexus and transmitted himself quickly.

At a speed almost close to that of light, Li Yao's soul rushed forward in a brand new form of life in the unknown realm.
