"Lknow what Lu Qingchen is going to do!"

While the puppet king was laughing crazily, the mental devil suddenly spoke.

"What?"

Li Yao was deeply stimulated and somewhat intimidated by the unbridled and complacent aura emanating from the puppet king.

"If you've forgotten, let me repeat Lu Qingchen's target."

"In the early years of the federation," the mental devil said, "the guy and Mo Xuan drew a magnificent blueprint together. To realize the full virtualization and Nexusization of the civilization of mankind, it was very likely that the ultimate form of the civilization was that all human beings did not need a

body of flesh and blood. The reproductive system that could pass on genes and the core of the brain that could maintain the most fundamental self would be preserved so that the consumption of resources would be minimized.

"The soul of human beings and the essence of human civilization can be moved to the virtual world built by the Spiritual Nexus and the crystal processors, which is the 'spiritual world'.

"In the spirit world, everyone's desires, imagination, and creativity can be released to the limit. Even if the entire world is turned upside down, it doesn't matter. In the blink of an eye, everything can be started all over again.

"In the meantime, they can also design a lot of 'shells' with different appearances and functions, like the upgraded versions of artificial bodies, battle puppets, and even the Giant God Soldiers. The souls of human beings can enter the shells at their will and move and modify them freely in the material

world, thereby completing the virtual world's control over the material world.

"This is the ultimate future of the human civilization that Lu Qingchen and Mo Xuan envisioned!

"You don't need to explain it so clearly.

Li Yao replied, "Of course, I remember the picture that they painted. Objectively speaking, such a future is not necessarily wrong. However, thousands of years of preparation are still needed. They were too hasty and violated the objective laws of evolution. Naturally, they were doomed.

"Yes. According to the materialistic foundation of the Star Glory Federation, they were indeed too hasty. Even Lu Qingchen admitted that his actions were too reckless when the conditions were still immature.

"However," the mental devil said, "the dream that can't be achieved in the federation may not necessarily be impossible in the Sanctuary, either.

"The Star Glory Federation and the Covenant Alliance are two completely different countries in terms of social system, popular will, Spiritual Nexus, and crystal processor technology.

"Before the 'Nether World Devils' were exposed, the technology of the Spiritual Nexus and the crystal processors of the Star Glory Federation was not very advanced. They were still in the early stages of the development of artificial intelligence, which was not enough to support Lu Qingchen's and Mo

Xuan's 'grand' dream. To reach the level of the 'Tinder Plan' and create a virtual world was already the best they could do.

"Besides, the subordinate worlds of the Star Glory Federation attach great importance to the self-sufficiency of the habitable planets. Every planet has its own self-circulating ability. To put it bluntly, even if the Great Unification Spiritual Nexus is disrupted, the civilization will not collapse immediately.

Can't the Heaven's Origin Sector, the Blood Demon Sector, and the Flying Star Sector form their own system?

"More importantly, the human heart.

"The federation is a relatively traditional and conservative 'normal country'. From the rulers to the middle-level managers, the soldiers and the civilians have all established an indestructible belief after hundreds of years of fighting and education. How can they accept 'soul migration into the virtual

world, where only the core of the brain and the reproductive system are kept in the real world, and the artificial bodies will be manipulated to move around in the real world'? It sounds like a weird and terrifying way of life.

"Therefore, Lu Qingchen and Mo Xuan had been challenging an impossible mission since the very beginning. They were well aware that the odds of success were slim, and they were merely trying to 'inspirate their successors' in any case. Professor Mo Xuan had made it very clear when he passed away.

"Think about it. Even if Lu Qingchen and Mo Xuan's plan worked out and they hijacked the entire Black Wind Fleet, sabotaged most of the super crystal processors of the Star Glory Federation, and paralyzed the entire federation, so what? Would they have been able to force the federation to be reborn into

anew life form?

"It was impossible. Let's not talk about whether or not the citizens of the federation could accept it and whether or not there would be a hundred years of resistance. The medical and crystal processor technology of the federation at that time was far from enough to support a 'super world' with a

population of tens of billions.

"Fair enough."

Li Yao admitted, "Lu Qingchen has been crazy since the very beginning, That's why he got himself killed. He was burnt to ashes under the iron fist of justice!"

"Yes. His 'virtualization of all mankind' plan will never work out in the federation, but what about in the Sanctuary Alliance?

The mental devil said coldly, "Have you noticed that the Sanctuary Alliance is a perfect kingdom tailor-made for Lu Qingchen's plan? All the conditions and technologies that are not mature in the federation are mature and complete here!

"Firstly, as a civilization of 'quasi-beetles', the Sanctuary Alliance boasts the most advanced crystal processors and the Spiritual Nexus technology among the three forces, doesn't it?

"It does not mean that the super crystal processors of the Star Glory Federation are much better than those of the Star Glory Federation and the Star Glory Federation. It means that the Star Glory Federation is a nation that relies solely on the Spiritual Nexus. The Spiritual Nexus has penetrated into every

capillary and nerve ending of the nation and even into the brains of every worker bee and soldier bee.

"Information lifeforms such as us, be it you or me, Xiao Ming, Wen Wen, the Fist King, or the Puppet King—Lu Qingchen, the more developed the Spiritual Nexus is, the more we can bring out our full strength and even trigger our unlimited potential!

"Secondly, the medical technology of the Sanctuary Alliance is very advanced, too. I'm referring to the studies of the human brain and the technology of artificial embryos.

"In Lu Qingchen's ultimate picture, the redundant organs of human beings can be removed, leaving only the core of the brain and the reproductive system. Even the reproductive system is not necessary. As long as we can find a way to reproduce the genes of human beings infinitely and maintain the

ability to mutate, everything will be fine.

"Such technology is not available in the federation or the imperium, but i

enough to accommodate the 'Homo Evolutis' modified by Lu Qingchen!

is quite popular in the Sanctuary Alliance. The brainwashing of the Psychic Temple involves a lot of brain surgery and psychology techniques. The 'manufacturing factory' is where human beings are stored and reproduced. It is

"The most important point is that, whether it is the federation or the imperium, people have independent thinking and a stubborn will. They won't give up their current life forms easily. Besides, they are very suspicious and resistant to 'information lifeforms' or 'spirits'. Isn't that why we have been

considering how to confess the existence of Xiao Ming and Wen Wen step by step?

"Lu Qingchen's plan would have raised a riot both in the federation and in the imperium. A hundred years of debate might have even ruined his reputation and killed him.

"But in the Sanctuary Alliance, in the goddamn Sanctuary Alliance, the vast majority of people are 'soldiers' and 'worker bees' without any self-awareness. Their brains are like a blank sheet of paper that other people can paint at will.

"The Great Master hoped that the brains of the 'soldier bees' and the 'worker bees' would remain pure and clean, but Lu Qingchen wanted thousands upon thousands of brains to be painted with his colors! Since he could implant the viruses of disillusionment, glory, gluttony, love, fury, and so on into

people's brains, why couldn't he implant the idea that the Spirit Clan was the perfect ultimate form of the human civilization and that all of us would find eternal happiness in the virtual world?

"At that time, billions of 'soldier bees' and 'worker bees' will become his believers in the blink of an eye. The magnificent blueprint that should've taken thousands of years to realize will probably arrive in the human world overnight!"

Li Yao felt that his soul was completely frozen, like a frozen ocean.

Below the frozen waves, cracking noises were echoing, indicating that his mind was shivering.

"That's right…"

Li Yao mumbled, "The Holy Alliance is indeed a more suitable place to realize the virtualization of human beings than the federation. But, but does Lu Qingchen really have enough computational ability to defeat the five supreme masters and control the entire 'Fuxi System'?

"Nobody knows whether or not he has enough computational ability. But right now, it is indeed his best, if not his only, opportunity. If I were him, I would also choose to take a gamble right now.

"Look," the mental devil said. "The war between the Star Glory Federation and the imperium is drawing near. If the two super dominators in the center of the sea of stars really start a strategical war, billions of stars will be burnt to the ground in the blink of an eye. How much pressure will it bring to the

leaders of both sides?

"At that time, even if the five Great Masters were blessed by the gods, they would've been overwhelmed by the tremendous military pressure and drained of all their brain cells. Their computational ability and defense ability would've hit rock bottom.

"Besides, the people of the imperium wouldn't just wait to be killed. They would certainly try everything they could to attack the pivot of the Sanctuary Alliance.

"Like you and me, aren't we the daggers that the Star Ocean Imperium sent to stab the heart of the Sanctuary Alliance?

"If the Holy Alliance and the imperium are as destructive as Lu Qingchen imagined, and one or two of the five great sages are killed, it is not impossible for him to invade the remaining sages' brains and even control the entire 'Fuxi System'!

"We still don't know how far Lu Qingchen has evolved, nor do we know what the mysterious existence behind him is. We don't know whether or not he can transform the 'Fuxi System' into a magnificent, boundless Spiritual World.

"Such a plan is naturally very risky, and the odds of success are very high. But think about it from Lu Qingchen's point of view. He is a remnant soul who has nothing in the first place.. If he does not take the opportunity to take a gamble, when will he?
