Chapter 3145 - Resonance of the Soul!
"Li Yao! Li Yao!"
He heard someone calling him.
But the excruciating pain that could not be described with words was like a super-heavy mountain hundreds of thousands of meters high pressing him into an endless abyss. His cells, flesh, blood, soul, and soul were all locked, ground, burnt, crushed, and swallowed.
For a moment, he could not remember who he was, where he was, what he was doing, what he was fighting for, or even whether he was alive or dead. If this was the deepest level of hell, then such a dark and painful hell was too cruel.
He only knew that he had truly suffered a crushing defeat this time. There was no way for him to fight back, not even the slightest chance for him to struggle.
Such pain, such desperation, and such a crushing defeat seemed to have happened a long, long time ago in a place far, far away. It was…
"Run, Li Yao. It's impossible for you to defeat it. The Vulture Plan has failed. It has completely failed. No one can defeat it. No one can destroy 'Earth'. Run. Go and live a few carefree days before it catches up to you. Run! Run!"
He heard such a sound.
The desperate voice from the past and far away, together with the voice from the present and his ears, pierced into his heart like an unstoppable blade and woke him up.
"No…"
He let out his first unclear roar.
"No!"
The second roar became clearer and louder.
"No! No! No! No! No! No! No!"
Like an infuriated primitive man, he waved the torch that had just been extinguished by the storm and roared at the vast and deep sky.
"From the center of the multiverse to the Pangu Universe, and from Earth to this place. I am carrying the hope of billions of reincarnations of my companions. I still have unfinished business. The 'Vulture Plan' is far from over. I will not admit defeat just like that. I will not allow you, this little monster, or the big monster in the multiverse sea, to ravage and swallow my companions, my compatriots, my family, my home, and my civilization!
"No matter how many mistakes we have made, no matter whether we are righteous or evil, bright or dark, wise or stupid, we are absolutely free. We will use our own will to decide the path that we want to walk on. Even if this path is full of thorns and flames, even if this path leads to a burning abyss, even if 108,000 gods and devils appear in the higher worlds above the multiverse and block our path, no one will be able to change our determination, our will, and our path—because this is the true meaning of 'life'!
"We are not cells, not puppets, not walking dead. We are human beings, human beings who will explore the truth of the universe and themselves whatever the cost!
"I'm going to stop you. I won't let you finish the teleportation even if I have to die a hundred times, a thousand times, and ten thousand times!"
Li Yao's soul seemed to be a shining eagle carved out of marrow crystals. It jumped out of the information turbulence and data abyss that Gu Wuxin had set up and flapped its wings, roaring in his head.
Li Yao regained control over his body and the Giant God Soldier.
Although 50% of the sensor chips of the 'sun catastrophe' had exploded, the framework and the transmission structure were seriously twisted, and the plate armor was falling off, the flames, spiritual waves, and twisted force fields that it released turned into visible 'domains' and caused bright gold and crimson energy ripples dozens of meters around Li Yao.
Li Yao scanned his surroundings.
The entire battlefield could only be described as miserable.
The sea of foam made of thousands of cells of ferocious beasts was almost solid. However, hundreds of tentacles suddenly crawled out of the 'underwater' and pierced through almost all the Giant God Soldiers brutally, as if they were made of super alloys that carried super electric currents.
Billions of hair-thin, glittering, nerve-like rays of light were shot out from the tentacles and interweaved with every Giant God Soldier and every pilot, trapping everyone inside the network, including Li Yao himself.
Countless nerves soared into the sky and extended to the sky of the primeval relics before they congregated in Gu Wuxin's body.
Colorful light waves were shining on the shell of Gu Wuxin's body, which looked like a cocoon. Every light wave was made of a swirl of information and data. He looked down and did not even bother to look at Li Yao, but his attention was focused on the rainbow bridge that soared into the sky.
Gu Wuxin flew toward the rainbow bridge and opened his arms. Rainbow-like ripples were spreading out of his body, indicating that he was about to meld with the rainbow bridge.
"I will not let you go. I will drag you down with me!"
Li Yao gritted his teeth and endured the pain of his bones being broken. He opened and closed his hands, and a skyscraper dozens of floors high suddenly exploded into billions of stones and nails mixed with Li Yao's furious flames, which darted at Gu Wuxin in midair.
"Huh?"
Gu Wuxin frowned slightly, as if he did not expect that a tiny 'ant' such as Li Yao could still fight back. He sniffed and waved his hands casually. The torrent of stones and nails that was still in the air immediately hit an invisible iron wall and rolled back at a speed three times higher than before. They all hit the 'sun catastrophe', making the Giant God Soldier, which was already riddled with holes, even more shattered and on the verge of collapse.
In the meantime, miserable redness was beaming out of the thousands of nerves that tied up the 'sun catastrophe' and transmitted endless pain into Li Yao's brain.
It was like Li Yao had endured the pain of all the 'experimental subjects' over the past thousands of years at the same time. He had been tortured thousands of times in only several seconds.
However, the excruciating pain did not make Li Yao yield. Instead, the 'Gate of Earth' deep inside his brain was showing more and more obvious cracks, which reminded him of more things about 'Earth' and 'reincarnation'. His mind was purer and his will more tenacious.
"Ahhh, compared to everything I've experienced on Earth, what is this pain worth? It's just—it's just sitting in the cool summer afternoon eating ice cream. Ahhhhh, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts!"
Li Yao roared, screamed, punched, twitched, and pissed his pants.
"Li Yao!"
Right then, Ding Lingdang's voice rang in his ears again.
Even his wife's face, which was filled with hope and anger, was flashing inside his brain.
Li Yao was dazed for a moment, thinking that he was hallucinating.
"Li Yao!"
Then, Long Yangjun's voice and appearance appeared.
"Huh?"
Li Yao was startled. "How did you pop out of my brain? It's very likely to cause a misunderstanding. Just go back! Go back!"
"Li Yao!"
Boss Bai, Lei Chenghu, Li Jialing, Li Linghai, the boxing champion, Yan Liren… The consciousness of all his family, friends, comrades, and compatriots was swirling and echoing inside his brain.
"Dad!"
Even Xiao Ming and Wen Wen turned into two pitiful children and extended their hands towards him in his mind.
Li Yao finally understood.
Whether they liked it or not, the link of the super bodies had already begun.
Gu Wuxin planned to combine their souls in such a way so that he could read the memories deep inside their brains and send all the information to somewhere else in the universe.
After all, Gu Wuxin had been hibernating in the primeval relics for hundreds of thousands of years and did not know much about the recent situation of the Pangu Universe. The latest intelligence from the brains of human beings would be more helpful for the invasion of the 'superhuman civilization'.
In other words, Li Yao, Ding Lingdang, Long Yangjun, Boss Bai, and everyone else's brain, mind, and soul were all in a certain 'superlink' state. They were about to be drowned in the ocean of information and data and lose themselves.
Hearing the calls of his family, friends, and children, Li Yao felt as if a bolt of lightning had struck his brain and left a dazzling trace.
"Everybody's telepathic link has been established. There is no way to stop it unless we kill Gu Wuxin!
"Since we can't stop him, can we seize the last opportunity and give him a taste of his own medicine?
"The strength of the mind is what mankind is best at. If we can concentrate all our mental power, can we launch a fatal attack at Gu Wuxin?
"Let me see. Let me see. Right, 'Soul War Resonance'. The resonance of souls from the Flying Star Sector and Iron Plateau can allow an ordinary Refinement Stage Cultivator to break through the barrier between the Refinement Stage and the Building Foundation Stage and reach the 100th level of the Refinement Stage, the 1,000th level, and the 10,000th level of the Refinement Stage, thereby becoming the resonance of the souls of the qi-trainers!
"Listen to me!"
Through the 'superlink', Li Yao shouted to all his companions, "We still have one last chance. The enemy is not invincible, but I need your help—I need your anger, your fighting will, your determination, and your hope. Come on. Gather your courage and burn your soul. Release your fire of life to your heart's content! Since the enemy wants us to join his network, let's see if his so-called 'superbody' can accommodate the proudest soul of mankind!"
