Chapter 2779: omnipresent!

Right now, he could determine the time with the help of the crystal processors nearby or the timers inside the starships.

He had spent several days pondering where he was and what form he was in. If his consciousness still existed, then what was the object supporting his consciousness? Was it a simple ripple, or was it something more solid and solid?

He soon discovered that he was in two very wonderful states.

In the first ‘unfolding’ state, his consciousness could appear randomly in a crystal processor, a piece of magical equipment, or a crystal camera within several square kilometers, where it could collect, absorb, and digest the tremendous information that came with it.

But such a state could only last for a moment. After a moment, his consciousness would ‘collapse’ and condense into a tiny dot where he could not see or hear anything, Except for the thousands of weird dreams that were still haunting him, he did not know whether or not he was still real.

The range of ‘a few square kilometers’ was based on the debris of the floating fortress, or rather, the remaining mainframe crystal processor of the floating fortress. It was very likely that his consciousness was still hiding inside the crystal processor scraps.

It took Li Yao a long time to figure out what was going on.

Maintaining the consciousness in the ‘pervasive’ state was a soul-consuming task. The further away one’s consciousness was from the center, the more complicated the intrusion structure would be, and the more information and data would be stored in the magical equipment, which would consume more

soul power.

If he merely invaded a crystal camera thirty to fifty meters away, he would be able to maintain the state of consciousness for a relatively long time, say, ten to twenty seconds.

But if it was the mainframe crystal processor of a starship that was heavily protected by a virtual defense wall a few kilometers away, it could only hack into the starship for 0.1 seconds and read a small part of the work log before it ran out of soul power and collapsed into darkness.

In the few days when he was half asleep and half awake, his ‘body’ had been moved a long distance away.

In the beginning, through the crystal processors that he hacked into, he discovered that the debris of the floating fortress was still lingering between Xinle City and the uninhabited area of Black Castle, on the battlefield that was wreathed in smoke.

However, after a collapse that lasted three days and two nights, he found that the debris of the floating fortress had been chopped into pieces. The scraps of the mainframe crystal processor had been collected and loaded into several heavy trucks, which were being shipped to the space port far away with

rumbling noises.

At this moment, the mainframe crystal processor had completely lost its external energy supply. Li Yao’s soul was like a hungry ghost that had been starved to the extreme. After scanning the outside world for a moment, he could not bear it any longer and fell asleep again.

‘When he opened his eyes again, he found that the debris of ‘himself, or rather, the mainframe crystal processor, had been shipped to a large shuttle. Maybe it had been teleported to a foreign space zone after one or two space jumps.

He could vaguely sense the fleet of the Sanctuary Alliance nearby. He also saw a magnificent, magnificent star fortress in the boundless space in front of him, It was three to five times larger than Heavenly Saints City, the capital city of the Flying Star Sector, and Hundred Flowers City, the transportation hub

of the Star Glory Federation. Judging from the thousands of propellers on the ground, the enormous object weighing more than billions of tons boasted tremendous power output and could push forward at a regular cruising speed like ordinary starships!

“Unbelievable technology. Is this the real capability of the primeval civilization”

Li Yao clicked his tongue in amazement. Before he fell asleep, he had seen the starship he was on fly slowly toward the bloody mouth of the space beast like a mosquito.

The next time he woke up, he felt different.

It was as if his soul had just enjoyed a sumptuous feast. His soul was filled with an indescribable sense of gratification. Every thought was like a strong and powerful tentacle ready to move.

The people of the Sanctuary Alliance seemed to have repaired the debris of the mainframe crystal processor of the floating fortress and connected it to an array of crystal processors that were larger and had higher computational ability, providing it with endless energy and information. In the meantime, Li

Yao, the devil incarnate, was fed and released from a small pond into the raging, boundless ocean.

Li Yao felt that he had slept for an entire era. When he woke up, the world was completely different from before.

No. Maybe it was not a world, but a marvelous transformation of his soul that opened a gate to a whole new level where he could overlook the entire universe from a higher level.

He had lost connection with his old body, but everything in the world that his consciousness reached seemed to be an extension of his new body.

Crystal processors were his brain, crystal cables were his nerves, pathways were his veins, power rune arrays and industrial thrusters were his legs, and the heavy cosmic mines and crystal bombs in the arsenal were his fists.

He seemed to be able to hack every space shuttle and every crystal suit in the maintenance workshop freely. He even had a vague feeling that, given enough energy and time, his consciousness could expand infinitely until it swallowed the enormous star fortress.

Besides, everything was as simple as breathing. It was as if a normal person did not need to control their own heartbeat at all, nor did they need to care about the movement of their internal organs or the bouncing of their muscles. He did not need to worry about the specific invasion and control at all.

Everything just happened naturally!

“This is—this is too amazing!”

Weak ripples were spreading out of Li Yao’s soul. The fluctuating waves seemed to be dancing in joy. ‘Thousands of clones invading and controlling at will? Is this the true face of the Divinity Transformation Stage? But how did I break into the Divinity Transformation Stage all of a sudden? It hasn’t been long

since I broke into the Divinity Transformation Stage! Even if Iam the most talented super genius in the history of the Pangu Universe, such a speed of advancement is still too shocking, isn’t it?”

Forget it. Let’s see if I can really control some of the units inside the star fortress first.

Li Yao extended one of his soul tentacles, which extended toward the cabins nearby like a transparent nerve.

Pondering for a moment, he decided to find the nearest toilet and hack into the automatic toilet first.

It was not because Li Yao took the infiltration and infiltration missions seriously as child’s play, nor was it because he had some unknown fetish, but rather, it was because there was a profound reason behind it.

Firstly, he had the apocalyptic body, and his wife was half a ‘body fundamentalist’. Her training and control over her body could not have been more precise. Li Yao was well aware that, for a super expert, as long as they were not freed from the shackles of their body, they could not live without food and

drink.

Besides, since the food that the Cultivators consumed every day was multiple times, dozens of times, or even hundreds of times more than that of normal people, and a lot of poison and waste would be produced during their training, the food would have to be excreted after the intestines wriggled and

pushed out. Therefore, the fertilizer that the Cultivators produced was multiple times more than that of ordinary people.

In some of the absurd notes of the ancient Cultivators, it was often depicted that the ancient Cultivators lived in the wilderness and did not need to defecate at all. They were merely trying to maintain their high and mighty image among the ignorant people. It was obvious that it was impossible.

It was also said that powerful cultivators could decompose and discharge waste through their skin, so they didn’t need to go to the Five Grains Reincamation Home often. But if one continued to use their toes to think, they would know that the skin was not an excretory organ in the first place. The pores were

as thick and big as one could imagine. Only by discharging waste through the pores all day long would one be able to make the place stink and become extremely messy. This was the most inelegant of all.

The human body itself possessed extremely powerful digestive and excretion organs. Naturally, it was necessary to continuously strengthen its ability, not to completely abolish it!

All in all, Li Yao’s conclusion was that all Cultivators were equal when it came to going to the bathroom. Whether you were in the Refinement Stage, the Core Formation Stage, or the Divinity Transformation Stage, whether you were a Cultivator, an Immortal Cultivator, or a puppet of the Sanctuary, there

were bound to be emergencies.

It meant that, whether it was the supreme commander of the enormous star fortress, the specialists at the highest level who were studying the remnants of the crystal processors, or the real schemer of the ‘Devil’s Child Project who was a level higher than Zhou Xiuyun, as long as they had a body, they would

all go to the toilet. It was quite possible that Li Yao had captured them.

On the other hand, no matter who it was, even if it was a puppet of the Star Glory Federation whose mind was as blank as a blank sheet of paper, when the sphincter muscle was loose, it was inevitable that the nerves in the brain would loosen a little bit, making it easier for the puppet to expose itself.

For example, if Li Yao could really hack a fully-automatic toilet nearby and eavesdrop on the conversation of an important figure of the Star Glory Federation while he was in the toilet, or even ambush him with the toilet, wouldn’t it be like a toad stomping on the back of a toad? Even if it could not bite

someone to death, it could still scare them.

With this thought in mind, Li Yao’s soul wandered towards the nearby restroom.

However, when his soul was about to invade, a voice suddenly came from the other side of his consciousness. “Stop. Don’t act rashly. The enemy will notice you.”

It was the voice of the mental devil!

Li Yao was dazed for a moment. He was about to jump in joy. “You—you didn’t disappear? I thought your soul was gone! That’s—that’s great. That’s great!”

“Nonsense.”

The mental devil replied snappily, ‘We are one and the same. We are two sides of the same coin. Since you did not vanish into thin air, of course, I still exist. How can we really be separated? I’ve been awake for a long time. I’ve been studying the star fortress and found that the defense network here is very

dense and secretive. Our status is very special, too. It’s better not to be reckless.

“Is that so?”

Li Yao asked, “Since you’ve been awake for a long time, why didn’t you talk to me or even make any sound?”

“Because… I don’t really want to talk to you.”

“I just want to be alone and think about the form of our life and the meaning of our existence,” the mental devil said..
