Forty Millenniums of CultivationForty Millenniums of Cultivation
“How come?”
Liu Li was surprised. “Didn’t you hide your wrong personality like a leaf in a forest?”
“Indeed. I thought that I had hidden it well, but I didn’t know that it… my wrong personality… had split and duplicated at some point. It spread out like a virus until it filled my entire brain.
The boxing champion said bitterly, “As long as Lu Qingchen finds one of the clones of the ‘wrong personality’, or ‘wrong personality pieces’, he will be able to rip open the loopholes and hack into the core of my mind.
“Alright, I understand.”
Liu Li sighed and said, “Your so-called ‘wrong personality’ is nothing more than your hesitation, hesitation, doubt, wavering, and some other messy negative emotions. These things are inborn and cannot be completely eliminated. Everyone has mistakes. Only machines can carry out commands 100% correctly and faithfully!
“The so-called ‘concealing the wrong personality’ is just self-deception. Human beings cannot control their thoughts. How can you control the wrong personality to run around in your brain?
“However, I want to be 100% perfect.
The Fist King said, “Only in such a way can we protect Miss Liuli forever.”
“Idiot, I like the boxing champion.”
Liuli bit her lips and said, “It doesn’t matter whether he is a 100% perfect boxing champion or a 50% perfect, or even an imperfect boxing champion.”
“I—I am indeed an idiot. I never thought of such a simple logic.
The boxing champion suddenly realized what was going on, but he was even more frustrated. “It’s a pity that it was too late. Lu Qingchen had already resorted to his tricks and incited my wrong personality to resist me. He even faked his death again and manipulated the wrong personality to fight against me. In the end, the wrong personality split and fled from my brain. They took away one tenth of the mass of the entire fleet and turned it into a brand-new fleet!
“What?”
Liu Li was shocked. “Lu Qingchen is pretending to be dead again? Why is he still alive? He is indeed—”
Liu Li suddenly stopped talking.
“As expected of the man who received Li Yao’s true teachings,” the boxing champion continued.
“I—I didn’t say that.”
Liu Li blushed and said, “One ten-thousandth of the mass is the debris that spurted out in the explosion just now? That’s nothing. The debris is all broken!”
“You don’t understand. Lu Qingchen is already a super lightning life form that has never been seen before. Every electric arc can change countless times in a moment and be melded with a lot of my false personalities. Their life form will be extremely strong and terrifying!
The Fist King mumbled, “I’ve already detected their existence. They don’t need much mass at all. Even nanoscale materials are enough to carry their terrifying will and build a fleet of nano lightning!
“Right now, our fleet’s tactical network is completely down. My computational ability has hit rock bottom, too. It will take at least an hour for me to restore 50% of my combat ability.
“During the hour, neither the fleet nor my brain will have any defense ability. If Lu Qingchen attacks us with the Nano Lightning Fleet, we will not be able to fight back at all!
“I was wrong, Liuli. I was really wrong. I failed to protect the universe and you…”
“That’s enough, Master Fist King. I’m a gold leaf that grows on the evil land and can withstand the wind and rain. I don’t need anyone to protect me.
Liu Li held the Fist King’s giant, trembling hand and said resolutely, one word after another, “The Fist King and I can protect each other. We can share each other’s weakness and mistakes. We can become more perfect and protect the universe together!
“Besides, I believe that good always prevails. Miracles do happen. If the so-called ‘wrong personality’ originated from the Fist King, he would certainly be as proud as the Fist King and wouldn’t be manipulated by Lu Qingchen, would he?
“It’s true that Lu Qingchen risked everything in order to incite my wrong personality. He really injected the entire legacy of the lightning-like life into my wrong personality. If my guess is correct, the wrong personality will become extremely strong very soon. Neither I nor Lu Qingchen will be able to control it.
The Fist King gnashed his teeth. “However, the wrong personality has just left the virtual world and ascended to the Pangu Universe. It is still in the chaos and weakness at the beginning.
“Maybe, according to the time and scale of the lightning life and the virtual life, the chaos and weakness won’t last long. Lu Qingchen can only control them for half an hour to an hour.
“But it was enough.
“As long as Lu Qingchen can command the ‘Nano Lightning Fleet’ to attack us, blow up hundreds of starships, slaughter hundreds of thousands of human beings, and establish a blood feud between the new nano lightning lifeforms and the carbon-based human beings, there won’t be a second option even if the wrong personality escapes his control.
“The new nano lightning life has no choice but to wage a total war against us until the entire Pangu Universe is ‘nano lightningized’!
“This, this…”
Liuli lost her cool. “What is Lu Qingchen trying to do? I thought that he was at least loyal to the Star Glory Federation. Didn’t he sacrifice himself in the Heavenly Palace and the ancient superstars?”
“It’s hard to guess what a lunatic is thinking. Maybe Lu Qingchen thinks that he is saving the Star Glory Federation, the Pangu Universe, and the human civilization. He thinks that only by ‘nano-lightning’ all human beings can we resist the terrifying tides.
The Fist King smiled bitterly. “Lu Qingchen is such an out-and-out lunatic. Right now, the terrifying lunatic has stabbed into our weakest place at our weakest moment!
Liu Li gnashed his teeth. “Is there no cure? You said it yourself. Half an hour to an hour!”
“…No.”
The boxing champion was silent for a long time. Then he said sorrowfully, “From the perspective of artificial intelligence, I cannot calculate any possibility of victory. From the perspective of human beings, I can only fight side by side with Miss Liu Li and everyone else and try my best to make up for my mistakes. Then… I hope for a miracle!”
…
“This is truly a miracle.”
The scale was less than a hundred meters. Every shining object was less than one micrometer.
Gus heard the crazy laughter of the devil. “So delicate, so perfect, so dazzling, and so unpredictable. Gus, do you feel it? Not only have we arrived in the Pangu Universe, we are also the strongest intelligent creatures here.
“Come on, new nano lightning life-forms. Come with me to hunt the fat fleet of the Fist God in front of us. We will seize a hundred times more mass and energy and expand our glorious wings to the entire universe!”
“Wait, wait…”
Gus felt that a weird force was enveloping him, making him muddle-headed and unable to free himself.
But at the last moment, he thought of something and struggled hard. “Lu Qingchen, aren’t you dead? How did you manage to run away with us and still be alive and kicking? You—you!”
Gus felt that he had become smarter after he changed his life form.
It was like the seal deep inside his soul had been broken.
He immediately understood everything and burst into fury. “You devil! You lied to me!”
“Hey, we’ve been discovered. Not bad, kid. You’re growing fast!”
Lu Qingchen was not embarrassed at all that his deception had been seen through. Instead, he smiled and said, “However, I am a devil. It is my natural instinct to lie. Didn’t you know it from the beginning? You have to pay the price of your soul to make a deal with a devil. It is common sense! Common sense!”
“Besides, I didn’t do you any harm. Don’t you hate the boxing champion and want to be the master of your own destiny? Now, let’s blow up the boxing champion together and rule the Pangu Universe, shall we?”
“Bah. I don’t like being manipulated by anybody, be it the boxing champion or you!”
Gus roared, “I will decide what I want to do. It is none of your business whether or not I continue to be an enemy of the boxing champion, you shameless devil!”
“Please, don’t keep repeating the obvious facts. I’ve always been shameless. I’ve never kept anything to myself for even a second!”
Waving the tentacles of lightning, Lu Qingchen snapped his fingers. “You knew that I was shameless, and yet you accepted my legacy. Young man, are you too innocent or too greedy?”
Gus immediately felt that an intense electric current was running through him and forming his veins, nerves, and bones. Manipulating him, his speed soared as he rushed toward the super-large fleet that had fallen into chaos.
“What—what are you doing? Let me go, you bastard!” Gus was both shocked and angry. He struggled hard, but to no avail.
“Rest assured. I can’t control you for long anyway.
Lu Qingchen smiled. “When we ‘lighten’ half of the starships on the other side, oh, maybe just one third or one fifth, you will be free again.
Gus shuddered.
He struggled harder.
But whether it was him, his sister Grey, or the other virtual humans, they had all just ascended to the Pangu Universe and turned into nano-lightning lifeforms. They had not grasped the fundamental laws of life and could only be at Lu Qingchen’s mercy.
“Hehe.”
The devil lowered his head and smiled casually. “Li Yao is missing, the Fist King is heavily wounded, Ding Lingdang and the rest of them have left the Pangu Universe. Other shrimp soldiers are nothing to be scared of, and I’m in charge of such a powerful fleet of nano lightning.
“Every aspect has been carefully calculated billions of times. Every detail is under my control. This time, only I can create a miracle. Hehehehe. Hehehehe. Hahahaha!”
“Come on. In one hour—no, half an hour—I will be able to control the entire Pangu Universe. Let’s see who can stop me this time!”
…
The devil had calculated almost everything.
However, it had never occurred to him that the most beautiful magical girl in the universe would grab his crotch in the dark space so close to the Pangu Universe.
“Jadeite, how long till we arrive? Why haven’t we arrived yet?”
“In the last space jump, I have detected intense energy reactions from the Pangu Universe and the waves of the same species. In three minutes, we will appear in front of the strong artificial intelligence named ‘Punching King’.
“Very good… Boxer… Wash your neck… and die!”
