“Dad!”

Inside the control room at the bottom of the Gold Crystal Tower in the Empyrean Terminus Sector…

Inside the cocoon-like launch capsule, Li Yao’s brain had been releasing intense, irregular brainwaves since a few hours ago. He drew higher and higher peaks on the light beam, as if his brain could explode at any moment.

No matter how much tranquilizers Xiao Ming and Wen Wen injected into the medication drugs, they were unable to suppress Li Yao’s intense brain activity. Even his body was affected. He convulsed violently, causing the metal cabin walls of the launch chamber to once again twist and deform with “Bang

Bang” sounds.

“Gulp! Gulp! Gulp!” The Divine Administration Liquid and the brain coolant both began to boil.

“Chi! Chi! Chi! Chi!” The boiling liquid turned into pungent steam and spurted out through the gaps of the soul chamber, filling the entire chamber with smoke and adding to the panic.

“Not good. Dad’s brain is overloading. He will lose control if this goes on. Help him calm down!”

“No. I’ve tried everything, but my father’s brain is still burning. I’ve injected five times the standard coolant. Even the hibernation drug is not enough to calm my father’s brain. If I increase the dosage any further, his brain will be frozen to death!”

“Then, pull his soul back quickly and forcibly. We cannot let his soul, which is in an extremely furious state, be left alone thousands of lightyears away!”

“Tcan’t. My father’s soul is tied up by something. He must be in a very intense battlefield in a state of full-frequency interference. If I drag him back by force, his soul will be seriously damaged. Chances are that only part of his soul will return to his body. Even if he does, he will become an idiot!”

“There’s nothing we can do about it. We can’t hesitate any longer. If we hesitate any longer, Dad will really be trapped there. Pull, pull—”

“Ah, it’s broken. The connection between our souls and Dad is broken!”

“How is it possible? Recalculate quickly and try to connect it again. Hurry, hurry, hurry!”

“No. It’s too complicated. We have to locate the direction of the Deep Earth Sector and Black Castle precisely in the billions of stars, and we have to find the features of our father’s soul in the chaotic spiritual energy tides. We need time. We can’t do it in only several minutes!”

In the screams of the two little guys, Li Yao’s struggling body collapsed like a puppet whose strings had been cut off. He lay in the almost solid liquid quietly with the last air bubble spurting out of his nose.

The values, spectra, and images that represented his vitality and brain activity were all zero.

“Beep—”

His brainwaves tuned into a straight line without the slightest ripple.

“This, this…”

Even the intelligent creatures such as Xiao Ming and Wen Wen could not help but be stunned for a moment when faced with such a tricky situation.

In the next moment, their computational ability immediately took action like a volcanic eruption.

“Hurry, hurry, hurry. Use the medical equipment to help maintain Dad’s heartbeat and breathing. At the same time, inject high-nutrition drugs into his veins to maintain his bodily functions!”

“Check my father’s brain and see if he was affected when his soul was cut off. As long as his brain functions are intact, there is still a chance!”

“Thankfully, luckily, my father’s brain and body seem to be fine. Let’s hurry up and replace the drugs and nutrition liquids before his body undergoes any qualitative changes. Let’s turn the launch chamber into a hibernation chamber and preserve my father’s body first!”

The two little guys operated smoothly for a while. Very soon, the Neural Interactive Liquid in the launch chamber was replaced by the bright blue hibernation drug. As the temperature gradually dropped, the hibernation drug condensed into a crystal, and Li Yao’s body was embedded into the crystal

seamlessly in the form of a vegetable.

After everything was done, Xiao Ming and Wen Wen took a long breath in relief. Then they looked at each other and saw the uneasiness and uncertainty in each other’s eyes.

“Fortunately, my father’s body was saved.”

“But where is his soul exactly?”

Is his soul already gone, or is he still floating in a corner of Black Castle, or is he wandering in the depths of the sea of stars like a ghost?

“How can we find our father again and drag his soul back into his body?”

“In any case, let’s inform Aunt Long first and then send the message back to the federation so that the federal parliament and… mother will know, right?”

“Dad, where are you? Do you even know what you are doing? This is too much. Too bad, Dad!”

Li Yao heard laughter.

The laughter of the children was like silver bells.

The laughter of the children washed over his ears like warm waves.

No. Not waves, but amniotic fluid. He had an ancient, long dream. In the dream, he was lying quietly in the depths of the ocean like a baby. With laughter that sounded like waves, he gradually surfaced and saw the blue sky, the white clouds, and the golden beach. On the beach was a very good-looking child

who was giggling and holding a ripe red apple, handing it over to him.

But the apple was overripe. It was rotting at a visible speed. Black liquid was dripping out of the gap between the child’s fingers.

No, not the apple, but the earth.

In the dream, the seemingly innocent child was holding the ever-changing Earth in his young hands, and the liquids that fell down turned into endless data and information. Numbers billions of times smaller than atoms were gone like sand in the wind.

Li Yao was deeply immersed in this strange and wonderful scene and was unable to free himself. The sand scattered on the small planet seemed to be inexhaustible, filling the ocean he was in and turning it into fertile soil. And the child holding the planet had unknowingly turned into an old man with white

hair and chicken skin. He held the last bit of the apple core and poured it into the soil, turning it into dry bones and fertilizer to nourish the data in the depths of the soil.

Before Li Yao figured out the meaning of the dream, a seedling had grown out of the piles of bones. The seedling was growing and unfolding at a visible speed. Soon, it grew into an apple tree that was laden with fruits. Every apple on the tree was a small, splendid, and splendid planet.

Li Yao was so fascinated that he couldn’t help but want to pluck an Earth and observe it carefully. But before his fingers touched the Earth, the Earth was as plump as an apple that was about to explode.

Countless colorful, dancing butterflies flew out of the spluttering Earth. They circled around Li Yao’s head and flew higher and higher, condensing into a burning, splendid firebird in midair. When all the vitality of the firebird was burnt away, it turned into a cluster of black ash. Even so, it was still struggling

to open its wings from the ashes, reminding Li Yao of a vulture struggling to break free from death.

Vulture.

The Vulture Plan.

Destroy the Earth.

The 18,000th destruction of the Earth, the 18,000,000th destruction of the Earth, the countless reincarnations, the countless destructions, and the final destruction of the Earth.

The dream disappeared. Li Yao sank into darkness again. He pondered in the darkness and felt that he was getting closer to his real self.

Something was being upgraded, something was being reconstructed, something was unlocking the shackles and seals, revealing its true appearance.

Ina trance, Li Yao did not know how long he had stayed in such a weird situation. He began to receive or capture some information intermittently.

Sometimes, it was a series of baffling and dull numbers, sometimes it was mottled, sometimes it was a black-and-white picture, and sometimes it was accompanied by “Beep Beep Beep Beep’ noises of spiritual interference.

Although it seemed meaningless, there was nothing else he could do in the darkness. He could only devour and analyze the information greedily, driven by his instincts.

It took him a long time to grasp, or rather, awaken, the methods to analyze and process the information. He gave the data meaning and figured out the source of the images and sounds.

As it turned out, the boring data was the output function of a certain power rune array on a nearby starship. He could control the power unit by altering a certain number.

Several mottled pictures were repaired by him, too, which were captured by several starships from a high altitude.

Through the picture, one could see that the debris of the floating fortress was almost embedded into the ground that was riddled with holes. Almost half of its mass had been lost, making it look like a watermelon that had been stomped on.

Countless purifiers and warriors of the Fire Clan were crawling up and down around the floating fortress. Several enormous tents had been set up nearby, where several fully-armed elite legions were stationed. Many elite Exos were searching everywhere in high-speed scout vehicles. Such a large-scale

search did not seem to be searching for the ‘Heretical Child’ but more like a search for him.

The voices that were transmitted to his brain proved this point, too.

The noises were mostly ripples sent out by the long-distance communication channels of the members of the Star Glory Federation. Some of them were even the telepathic thoughts of the members of the Star Glory Federation. The voices of the members of the Star Glory Federation proved that they were

greatly surprised by Li Yao’s appearance and were determined to find him at any cost as if he were a great enemy.

“was right here.”

Joyful ripples spread out in Li Yao’s brain. Where can I find such idiots?

However, the ripples soon dispersed into confusion.

“Tm right here.”

Li Yao pondered for a moment.. “But where is this place?”
