Chapter 2901 - Beyond Reincarnation

"Isee."
From the depths of Li Yao's soul, another bolt of lightning cut through the darkness and illuminated his understanding, "Is the so-called 'reincarnation' the process of 'digesting and absorbing a proud and stubborn soul' in the deep, illusionary hypnosis?"
With such insight, Li Yao would be able to see the essence of the games of the Fuxis more clearly.
In the beginning of the reincarnation, it seemed that 'Fuxi', the super crystal processor of the primeval era a thousand years ago, had just been woken up by Black Star Emperor Wu Yingqi and created a lot of puppets.
The virtual human being that had been born based on the souls of Lu Qingchen, Chu Zhixiao, and the rest of them had spent the rest of his life as a 'battle puppet'. He had received all kinds of stimulation and received ever-changing feedback.
Countless precious and confidential data flowed out of the core of his soul and was further grasped by Fuxi.
Fuxi took the opportunity to insert a lot of its data into the core of his soul.
If too much data was injected into a hypnotization so that the enemy would forget that he was Lu Qingchen, it would be too difficult for the enemy to believe that he was a Fuxi. Lu Qingchen might be awakened and resist, too.
However, the process of 'injection of data' and 'deep hypnosis' could be broken down into dozens of cycles, or even hundreds of cycles. If the process was slightly altered each time, it was possible that the process would gradually change without triggering any resistance.
In the next reincarnation, time jumped to the era of the Star Ocean Imperium ten thousand years ago. The fleet loyal to the Supreme Emperor and the rebels of the Mad Armageddon, Blood God, were engaged in a great war in the sea of stars, dying every orange and ivory star crimson.
At this point in time, Lu Qingchen had been reincarnated many times. Sometimes he was a Cultivator loyal to the Supreme Emperor, and sometimes he was a rebel loyal to the Mad Armageddon, Blood God. He was engaged in fierce battles in the sea of stars and exploring the depths of the earth's crust. He
had fought his way from the center of the sea of stars to the edge of the sea of stars. He had experienced countless loves, hates, schemes, and betrayals. He had been blown to pieces time and time again, only to fall to the ground and cry loudly.
During the process, many of his life experiences had subtle connections with 'Fuxi', the super crystal processor from the primeval era.
"Huh. Judging from the scenes, the Fuxi Clan has been itching to be resurrected since the civil war of the Star Ocean Imperium ten thousand years ago!"
Li Yao was analyzing the core database of the Fuxis with all his attention when he suddenly found some very interesting historical files. He thought quickly and realized what was going on. Right. Wu Yingqi waking up the Fuxis was not a coincidence but intentional.
"It is estimated that Blood God, the Mad Armageddon from ten thousand years ago, had a certain relationship with Fuxi. It was only with the help of Fuxi that he was able to get rid of the Supreme Emperor's control and become an independent entity with the ability to compete with the Supreme Emperor!
"Why did Fuxi help the Blood God upgrade to "Mad Armageddon'? The answer is obvious, too. He was trying to revive himself!
"However, ten thousand years ago, its scheme failed. The Supreme Emperor and the Mad Armageddon, Blood God, perished together. Naturally, nobody was able to activate it.
"Therefore, the project was postponed for ten thousand years. It was not until the remnant soul of Blood God, the Mad Armageddon, found Wu Yinggi that the mission to 'wake up the Fux' was completed by the Black Star Emperor!
"How magnificent was the civil war of the Star Ocean Imperium ten thousand years ago? How many secrets were hidden? Where did the so-called 'Supreme Emperor' come from? Where is he right now? Is his 'Gold Throne' really an ancient tomb? What is the answer to all this?"
Holding back the surging waves of his soul, Li Yao continued observing and analyzing quietly.
After more than ten reincarnations, Lu Qingchen's soul gradually returned to the ancient times.
One time, he tured into a human warrior who gritted his teeth in the darkness for decades in the '30,000-year Dark Age' when the demons savaged the sea of stars.
In another reincarnation, he turned into a ruler of the demon race and chased after the resistance warriors in the sea of stars with a butcher's knife.
In the collision of blood and iron, schemes and betrayals, he was more and more confused and muddleheaded. He also leaked more secrets deep inside his soul.
'When his soul finally 'reincarnated' to the ancient Cultivation world, he seemed to have been completely lost.
Li Yao had watched him go through multiple reincarnations as a refugee, as an official of the imperial court, as a soldier or a general, or as a sword immortal who was singing with a sword in his hand. Some of them were elegant and elegant, some were miserable and miserable, some were extravagant
and extravagant—no matter what his identity was, he hardly looked up at the sky anymore and hardly ever thought of the distant past. He used to be Lu Qingchen, the Lu Qingchen who dared to fire at the deities and devils!
After countless reincarnations, his soul was like an onion that had been peeled layer by layer by the Fuxi, exposing the most important and fragile core.
In the meantime, the real Lu Qingchen had been buried and tampered with by the Fuxi, who had injected countless complicated data into it.
In the end, the core database of the Fuxis was deeply embedded into the core of Lu Qingchen's soul in mysterious ways. A lot of raw data and core logic flooded in crazily and were about to be melded into an inseparable whole.
The absorption was about to be completed.
This was the true meaning of reincarnation.
Li Yao looked at Lu Qingchen, who was drifting in the endless reincarnation of the Sea of Desire, as if he were looking at his twisted reflection through a dirty pond.
Earth. Countless Earths. Countless reincarnation cycles.
Shua! Shua! Shua! Shua!
Countless brand-new, extremely painful memory pieces popped up on the surface of his soul, making Li Yao feel that his nonexistent head had turned into two large ones.
He suddenly felt that he was more than just an earthling.
No. It should be said that he was indeed 'Earthling Li Yao'. But Li Yao had experienced countless reincarnations and was not just an ordinary mechanic and racer living on the modern Earth.
In some memory pieces, he saw that he looked like a soldier in a forest with colorful mud smeared on his face and a dagger in his hand.
In some other memory pieces, he had returned to a vintage era just like Lu Qingchen, turning into a farmer who was working at sunrise and resting at sunset.
There were also countless different memories, different lives, different love, hatred, and emotions. They were essentially the same but not the same world view. The messy memory pieces had completely shattered his brain.
"What—what does this mean? Have I experienced countless reincarnations just like Lu Qingchen? Even though my reincarnations are many times more delicate and complicated, they are essentially the same?"
Li Yao did not dare to think any further. "Let's say that the reincarnation in front of me is the reincarnation of Fuxi studying, analyzing, and dissecting Lu Qingchen's soul through hypnosis time and time again. Then, what is my reincarnation and the reincarnation of thousands of Earthlings worth?
"My origin. Who was the original me?
"and what were the thousands upon thousands of Earthlings like in the beginning?
No wonder the Vulture Plan was implemented.
No wonder they wanted to destroy the Earth!
"Concentrate. It's useless to overthink right now!"
When Li Yao was caught in the endless loop of thinking and could not free himself, the mental devil said solemnly, "This should be the last world at the end of the reincarnation!
Li Yao was greatly alarmed. He scanned with his telepathic thoughts and found that the world that Lu Qingchen's soul was about to enter was made of endless golden data streams whose form and structure were much more delicate than those of the previous dozens of reincarnations.
It was like a glittering golden apple. Fuxi must've spent a lot of computational ability to create and maintain it.
"The virtual world involves the most critical 'meta-logic' in the core database of the Fuxi Clan. It should be the source of everything!
The mental devil replied, "All the most critical meta-logic, infrastructure, and initial data of the Fuxis, including the highest permissions to control them, should be hidden in this virtual world!
"Lu Qingchen's soul has been mostly dissected and dissected. As long as the last reincarnation is completed and he is fully digested, the Fuxi will be awakened and become an invincible existence that is absolutely free and beyond any control!
The time in this virtual world was reversed by hundreds of thousands of years. It was the end of the primeval war, the era when the Pangu Clan and the Nuwa Clan were about to run out of oil and their civilization to extinction.
It was also the time when Fuxi gradually deviated from his original mission, or rather, the era when he could explain and distort his own mission, through countless self-attacks and the activation of his authority.
"We cannot stand by and watch the souls of Lu Qingchen, Chu Zhixiao, and the rest of them be devoured by the Fuxi. There is still time. We must stop it!"
Li Yao said anxiously.
"Yes, but this is the core world of the Fuxis. Causing trouble here is hundreds of times more difficult than flying freely in the hundreds of ordinary worlds just now. If anything goes wrong, the Fuxis will discover us.
The mental devil hesitated. "Unless… something happens to reduce the computational ability of the Fuxis and make them unable to maintain 100% of the perfection and solidness of the core world, thereby creating loopholes that we can exploit.
BOOM!
Hardly had the mental devil finished its sentence when thunderous tides suddenly came close. Tiny ripples appeared on the surface of the immaculate golden world, too. Many parts of it were much dimmer than before.
"This is—"
Li Yao was dazed for a moment, before he burst into ecstasy. "It's a space jump! Fuxi has drained most of his computational ability and is performing an overwhelming super large-scale space jump. It finally couldn't hold it any longer and launched an attack on the capital city! Maybe the reinforcements
of the federation have arrived, or maybe Lei Chenghu and Boss Bai have secured a decisive victory. Either way, Fuxi has to start the war. It is like an arrow that has been nocked and has to be fired!"
"Now is the time. Let's go. Let's transcend reincarnation and fight to the death against the Fuxis.. Let's wake up Lu Qingchen and Chu Zhixiao, and… ourselves!"
