Chapter 3268: Yesterday, Today, and Future!

Motivated by Ding Lingdang, the flames of war flowing out of Li Yao’s every pore were like magma roasting a glacier, melting the flood.

“So that’s how it is. My wife has always admired me?”

Li Yao clenched his fists and punched his chest hard. “That’s right. I’m a man of steel who marches forward bravely. I’m definitely not a mediocre man who wallows in the mistakes of the past, sighs, and regrets. If I don’t like my current appearance and want to go back in time, what’s the difference between me and a rogue who stirs up trouble with his chess pieces and refuses to admit his mistakes?

“I have no regrets. Hong Chao, you are a petty man who won’t admit defeat, but I am a man!”

…

BOOM!

From the perspective of the awakened Cultivators on the Ark Island, they could only see that, when the silver-white giant was about to turn into an absolutely precise ball, intense flames suddenly burst out of the core. The silver-white liquid metal was blown everywhere, and clusters of red lotuses and furious flames jumped out of the broken debris.

Li Yao broke free from the flood and stood proudly in the sky of Earth’s—Reincarnation Prison again!

“Is this… the legendary ‘Body Synthesis Stage’?”

High in the sky, Ding Lingdang sensed Li Yao’s soaring flames of war. She discovered that, although Li Yao was only wearing scraps of copper and iron, his aura was ten times more intimidating than those who had been armed by the iron demons. She bulged her cheeks in surprise and turned to Lu Qingchen, asking suspiciously, “What happened exactly? How did you know? You said that he was ‘so-so’, and that I admired him so much that I could trigger the endless potential in the deepest part of his soul and unleash the greatest strength?”

“It’s hard to explain to Speaker Ding.

Lu Qingchen smiled. “Although you are a tough guy, and some people say that you are like a tomboy… Well, don’t hit me. That’s just what I meant. In short, no matter how tough and dominating you pretend to be, you are a woman after all. You will never understand what men are thinking and how to trigger our… fury.

“Speaking of which, isn’t Li Yao’s fury a bit too exaggerated? Did I hit his sore spot by accident? Is he really… so-so?”

Lu Qingchen looked at Li Yao in astonishment.

At this moment, Li Yao became the center of attention for all the awakeners, all the visitors from outer space, and even Hong Chao.

The ‘super-large magical equipment’ that had been refined by the carrier fleet a moment ago was torn apart into scraps, but the new equipment was attracted by his vitality and rushed at him.

They were the debris of billions of starships that had fallen from the battlefield of the universe.

All the debris of the starships were controlled, compressed, and refined by the invisible giant hands. They were assembled next to Li Yao and gradually formed the framework of an indomitable giant. Then, the nerves, bones, and muscles came close and formed an inseparable, organic whole.

Not hundreds of meters, not thousands of meters, but a giant tens of thousands of meters tall, standing on the sun, the moon, and the stars, shocking the entire universe.

The boundless ocean was boiling for it. The sun, the moon, and the stars were reflecting its golden brilliance. Billions of lightning bolts were weaving the most precise armor around it. It was a giant that had never been seen in the Prison of Reincarnation before and was destined to be the terminator of countless cycles of time.

“This guy…”

Even Li Yao himself was deeply shocked by the surging and furious strength. He looked at the bronze-colored Titan’s Palm in disbelief and said, “It has far exceeded the limits of the Giant God Soldier. From its size to its internal driving mechanism, it is completely different. It is not a Giant God Soldier, but… a ‘super divine weapon’!

“What should I name the super weapon?”

“Wait, honey!”

Ding Lingdang sensed that Li Yao’s soul waves were spreading out. She was greatly shocked and said, “Any name will do. Really. Time is of the essence. Don’t mind the details.”

“Exactly!”

His other companions were shouting, too. “It was not easy for us to boost our morale to such an extent. Please don’t be silly!”

“What do you mean? It sounds like the name I’m going to give you is going to be awful.”

Li Yao frowned. He mumbled something to himself, but he was still as obedient as ever. “Alright then. I’ll pick a random one and call you simply ‘Dream Chaser’! After all, human beings are the best of all creatures because we boast absurd, hilarious, childish, unreachable, and even unattainable dreams!

CRACK! CRACK! CRACK! CRACK!

Li Yao triggered his soul and released tens of thousands of electric arcs through the ‘Super Soldier Dream Chaser’. He pulled the debris of countless starships close to his palm and dissected them into the most fundamental metal dust before he refined a new super saber that was thousands of kilometers long and wreathed in purple electric arcs and crimson flames.

It was literally a saber that could split the ocean or even a planet.

Li Yao raised his saber and pointed it at the silver-white giant that was expanding into the form of a demon not far away.

“Do you see, Flood Tide? This is the power of us lowly cockroaches, bacteria, and viruses, or rather, the proudest human beings!

“It is precisely because we cannot turn back time that we cherish every second of the present and future.

“It is precisely because the mistakes we make can’t be completely erased that we take every mistake or correct option more seriously.

“It is precisely because no one can live forever that we must strive to release the most brilliant brilliance of life!

“The me of yesterday forged the me of today, and the me of today will create the me of tomorrow. It is precisely because there is no medicine for regret in this world and there is no path of retreat behind us that every one of us has to shoulder all the regrets, mistakes, regrets, and wounds. We have to treat these as medals, armor, and blades. We have to advance bravely, break through all difficulties and obstacles, and create an unlimited hope for the future!”

“Looking back at the billions of years of evolution of civilization, right or wrong, betrayal or destruction, the Primeval Lord of Heaven or the super body civilization, yes, there were countless regrets, countless regrets, countless mistakes, and countless things that should have been changed and erased.

“However, our civilization has cast its die and left the most vivid mark in the sea of stars with its clumsy and even wrong strokes. It was the billions of years of history that shaped the civilization of mankind today. The glorious, great, proud, noble, and unique civilization of mankind today, the so-called ‘reversal of time and restart of worlds’, will only destroy the civilization that is loved by all of us. Even if a new civilization of mankind appears in the new timeline, it will not be this one, not mine!

“All in all, only cowards always want to solve problems with rebirth. The real experts will grit their teeth, swallow their blood, lick their wounds, bid farewell to yesterday, and move on!

“This is what I’m talking about. The deceased are gone. The ancient spirits should’ve rested in peace a long time ago. The survivors will shoulder all the mistakes, regrets, dreams, and hopes, overcome all the obstacles, overcome the waves, and never look back!

“There’s no need to worry about us. We will defeat you. We will defeat the ‘Great Purge Agreement’. We will defeat the ‘Fast Collapse’. We will defeat the ‘Supreme Lord Singularity’. We will defeat the ‘Eternal Devourer’ and everything that stands in our way. Even if one day we fail and are destroyed, it won’t be a big deal. Nothing can live forever. We are not the least interested in being a turtle that hides itself forever. We only hope that someday in the future, the last drop of blood of the last warrior of the great civilization can be shed on the path of glory leading to the end of the universe!

“Because this is our destiny. This is Cultivators. This is… mankind!”

Li Yao’s every word was like a hot shooting star that had been tossed into the depths of the ocean. When he roared the loudest, every raindrop in the ocean and the sky was on fire.

The flood tide was rendered speechless by his words. The computational ability of billions of stars had all turned into garbage.

“Is it really necessary?”

Standing below his feet, all the awakened Cultivators on the ark, including Zhang Daniu, felt that they were ants. “The sound and electricity are too much!”

As if he had heard Zhang Daniu’s shout, Li Yao smiled and extended an invitation to him. “Come on, Master Niu. A war is not something that I can fight alone. The fate of all mankind will be decided by all mankind. Join me and fight side by side!”

“I—I can do it, too?”

Pointing at himself, Zhang Daniu stammered, “I—I haven’t finished ‘Forty Thousand Years of Cultivation’!”

“It doesn’t matter. I’m not going to argue with you about the specific theories and formulas. Just tell me the conclusion. Listen carefully.”

Li Yao said, “According to the secret that I dug out from the core of the flood tide, which is the will of the earth, when I almost melded with it, there are only two outcomes of our battle. If we win, all the ‘parallel universes’ that are sealed by it, or at least ‘parallel Earths’, will be freed. In other words, countless Earths with subtle differences might appear out of nowhere in an unbelievable way. There might be another Zhang Daniu in another ‘parallel Earth’.

“Remember, you must remember that emotions, wills, and dreams that are strong enough can break the most solid barrier between parallel universes and cause subtle disturbances to the other side of the universe. In other words, as long as your obsession is strong enough, you will always want to stimulate all your brain cells to think hard and transmit your love and obsession for ‘Forty Thousand Years of Cultivators’. Then, one of the countless ‘parallel planets’ where you live will receive your obsession and finish ‘Forty Thousand Years of Cultivators’ for you!

“Is that so?”

Zhang Daniu was stunned as he listened, “I don’t understand. There’s such a thing?”

“Of course, the so-called ‘parallel universe’ is a place where everything is possible. As long as your obsession is strong enough, or even your own strength, it is enough to split the universe and create new possibilities!

Li Yao said, “You must remember your dream and destiny. If we win the battle, you will certainly finish ‘Forty Thousand Years of Cultivation’ in a certain ‘parallel Earth’ that has been liberated in the future!”
