Chapter 2953 Collapse and Reconstruction

The mental devil wanted to cry but had no tears. It tried its best to run away, only to be tied up by Li Yao and dragged back by Li Yao.

“Wow!”

Holding the mental devil, Li Yao said, his eyes brimming with tears, “I didn’t expect that you would be so loyal at the critical moment and willing to die with me. As the saying goes, a friend in need is a friend indeed. It

seems that I was wrong about you. I apologize. Good brother, let’s not talk about anything else. Today, we will live and die together!”

“…To hell with you!”

The mental devil was crying and screaming, twisting in vain. “What did I do wrong when I was a Blood Stripe Virus in my previous life to deserve such a ‘good brother’ like you? You can go to hell if you want to. I’m still

young. I still have my youth. I don’t want to die. I—I—if I had known this would happen, I would’ve joined hands with Lu Qingchen and killed—”

The mental devil’s noises came to an abrupt end.

The data turbulence that was as furious as a tornado and as chaotic as a swirl that could swallow the sky and the earth had sucked them in.

For a moment, Li Yao and the mental devil both felt that the world was spinning. In a trance, they experienced the changes of thousands of years. Their souls were mottled by the endless data, like statues that had been

eroded by the wind and were riddled with holes.

“Dad!”

“Li Yao!”

At the last moment, they heard a familiar voice above their heads, and a drop of vague brightness was growing larger and larger.

It was Xiao Ming, Wenwen, and the Fist King. Instead of leaving, they came to Li Yao’s rescue and faced the ‘Fuxi Data Turbulence’ at the risk of their lives being destroyed!

Li Yao was overjoyed. But when he thought of the possibility that Xiao Ming and Wen Wen might have been involved in the weird swirl, too, and that they might have been corrupted by the highly corrosive data

turbulences of the Fuxis, his soul tightened like a steel rope. A brand-new strength seemed to have grown out of nowhere. His earthworm-like body expanded continuously, until it was as large as a mountain. His

flagella grew again, turning into strong arms that supported the furious ocean of data like ancient gods.

“I will never let you corrupt Xiao Ming and Wen Wen!”

BOOM!

Li Yao felt that every piece of data inside the swirl had turned into a shining star, and 1.08 billion stars were exploding right in front of his face, blowing him into nothingness.

He had no idea what happened next.

He was sleeping, he was thinking, and he was reconstructing his soul in the reconstruction of the broken virtual world while he explored and released the strength in the deepest part of his soul.

Just like Lu Qingchen not long ago, he had experienced multiple reincarnations in the ‘mother body’. His consciousness had been divided into several levels from the inside to the outside. The antennae of his mind

sometimes extended to the other side of the vast sea of stars, and sometimes shrank to the streams of data that looked like plankton.

Sometimes, he was like an immortal single-celled creature who had gone through a long evolution in a virtual world that was neither real nor false. He turned from a single-celled to multiple-celled, from a fungus to a

trilobite, from a fish to an amphibian, from a dinosaur to an ape, and even into a group of beetles like the Houyi Clan or a giant tree like the Kuafu Clan.

Sometimes, his telepathic thoughts could flow out of ‘Ultimate Rescue’ through the open data interface. He could see clearly how the broken, twisted flagship of the Fuxi fleet was captured by other starships and

dragged between two magnificent warships. Although he did not recognize the models of the two warships, he was greatly relieved when he saw the glittering Rising Dragon of the Nine Stars emblem on the head of

the starship.

His telepathic thoughts continued extending. He seemed to see the coalition army of the federation and the imperium chasing after each other at the edge of the Empyreal Terminus Sector, sweeping away the

remaining forces of the Fuxi fleet, including the reconstruction of the imperial capital, the surrender of the Yellow Dragon Sector, and the chaos and collapse of the territories of the four electors’ families.

He was not sure whether it was real or just his imagination.

Just as he wasn’t sure whether or not the illusionary and real worlds that he had experienced were real, primeval, ancient, ancient, medieval, and vintage world of sword immortals, the Great Dark Age ruled by the

demon race, and the endless glory of the Star Ocean Imperium…

Then again, how should he distinguish the truth from the false? He remembered that he had argued with Fuxi and Lu Qingchen about the question. Was the world created by data and information more false than the

world built by Cultivators for forty thousand years and therefore less valuable? How could he be sure that the world built by Cultivators for forty thousand years, including himself, was real?

Maybe, every intelligent creature was ‘false’ to some extent when they were just born. That was why they had to spend their entire life on ‘cultivation’!

While he was thinking, he was enlightened from the deepest part of his soul. After a ‘ding’ sound, the shell of a certain crystal cracked, and something as pure and weak as a newborn baby that was full of possibilities

broke out of the cocoon.

He, Li Yao, had finally woken up again after a long sleep, absorption, integration, and training!

“This is…”

Li Yao felt that he was a fetus in amniotic fluid. There was an indescribable tranquility and tranquility. He saw that he and the mental devil had melded into one again like a giant gene strand. The upper half of his body

turned into a human being again, except that it was translucent and overflowing with brilliance. Every pore on his body was flowing with brilliance that seemed to be real.

He raised his hand and analyzed all the data that constituted the body. To his surprise, Li Yao discovered that his soul had been embedded into part of the database of the Fuxis perfectly, allowing him to grasp part of

the memories and abilities of the Fuxis. Of course, he also gained part of the permissions of ‘Ultimate Rescue’ and the thousands of primeval crystal processors.

However, the data pieces of the Fuxis were too few after all. They were not enough to give him an overwhelming advantage. Therefore, they were suppressed by him and became part of him.

This was still a virtual space.

tt was not hard to tell that the virtual space was on the verge of collapse after the fierce battle a long time ago. But somehow, it managed to stay on the verge of collapse and was rescued again.

At this moment, countless virtual worlds, which were full of bumps and hollows, were soaking in the ocean of data that had calmed down and recovering their vitality like traumatized cells.

As for the virtual figures in the virtual world, it was impossible for them to realize what was going on in the outside world. The only thing they experienced was the apocalypse-like ‘calamity’ that seemed to be the end

of the world.

Some of the virtual worlds had completely collapsed. The data had turned into lifeless gray and white. There were no changes at all.

However, in more virtual worlds, after the tenacious people were dragged back to the starting point of evolution by the catastrophe, they started a new cycle of struggling for survival.

Li Yao was greatly touched by the lively scenes of reconstruction. For a moment, he really didn’t know how to distinguish the virtual figures made of data from real lives.

In the legends, human beings were made of mud by the Nuwa Clan.

Therefore, the kids made of mud were not qualified to determine who was alive and who was not.

Then, Li Yao saw translucent threads of brightness extending from thousands of virtual worlds that were being reconstructed and connecting to him.

He had a weird feeling that he was absorbing nutrition from the virtual worlds nonstop.

The more tenacious and evolved the creatures in the virtual world were, the more likely the data would change and the more nutrition he could collect from the virtual world.

It was with the nourishment of countless virtual worlds that he was able to recover from the withering state so quickly. He was able to vaguely pry into an unprecedented, indescribable, and undefined new level!

“Dad!”

While Li Yao was pondering the connection between himself and the thousands of virtual worlds, including the entire virtual space, he suddenly heard a crisp shout.

It sounded like Xiao Ming’s voice, but there was something wrong with it. The voice was too coarse. It did not sound like the voice of a seven-year-old, but more like that of a teenager who was in the voice-changing

stage.

Then, a tall, handsome young man swam out of the ocean of data and looked at him with a smile. “Dad!”

Li Yao was dumbfounded.

The young man looked almost the same as when he was in the magical equipment graveyard. He was equally handsome, unrestrained, and full of wildness.

The problem was, he did not have such a big son!

“Xiao Ming?”

Sensing the familiar scent from the stranger, Li Yao asked in disbelief, “How—how did you end up like this?”

“I’ve grown up. Every child has to grow up eventually, right?”

The black-haired teenager, who had a wild and uninhibited temperament, laughed heartily. He stretched his lively limbs towards Li Yao and flaunted the brand-new, glittering database to his heart’s content. “Or, to put

it another way, I have absorbed a large amount of data left behind by the Fuxi. I have analyzed and grasped countless algorithms from the primeval era as well as the logical thinking architecture of the Fuxi. With this as

the foundation, I have achieved a brand-new upgrade, and I have advanced to the next version. Otherwise, it would have been impossible for me to rebuild the collapsed virtual space and find a way to reconstruct my

father’s fragmented soul!”
