Chapter 3140: The True Meaning of “Human Beings”!

Li Yao and the mental devil both felt that their blood was freezing.

On second thought, it did make a lot of sense. Lu Qingchen was also a crazy schemer who was qualified to be the ‘Ultimate Demon King’ at a certain stage. His deduction might be more in line with the ‘Gu Wuxin—Supernatural Body’ state.

Li Yao did not know how long it had been since the researchers of the Heavenly Palace accepted the ‘invitation’ of the captives of the Flood Tide Legion and established their own soul network to invite more people to join them. He did not know how many people had joined this… indescribable group of terrorists over the past thousand years.

But one thing was certain.

Those who joined the super bodies were all the elites of the primeval civilization. They might not have extraordinary combat ability, but their mental power was unimaginably strong.

Li Yao could not help but recall the ‘resurrected Pangu Clan’ that he had met in the Kunlun Mysterious Land.

Although he had surpassed the Divinity Transformation Stage today, he still felt scared when he remembered the battle against the Pangu Clan when he first met the Giant God Soldiers.

If anything went wrong that day, the history of the entire Pangu Universe would change.

The resurrected Pangu Clan member was probably one of the top experts of the primeval era. It was unlikely that he was among the top experts. At the very least, the mental power of the people in the Heavenly Palace was not much weaker than his.

Then, how terrifying would it be if the mental power of a thousand resurrected Pangu Clan members was gathered together? What kind of destructive, sweeping techniques could it summon?

Li Yao could not imagine it.

No wonder he could not free himself from the mental attack of Gu Wuxin’s super body and had to rely on the mental attack of the mental devil and Lu Qingchen to slightly disrupt the enemy’s rhythm.

Even though he was born with special attributes and had experienced a lot of fortuitous incidents, it was still impossible for him to fight a thousand resurrected Pangu Clan members head-on.

Besides, Lu Qingchen did have a point. The monster in front of him definitely had more than just mental power.

Li Yao had seen with his own eyes how terrifying the ferocious beast tide that swallowed the City of Silver and attacked the Tower of Heaven.

But right now, all the ferocious beasts had collapsed and turned into the most basic cells. But the cells did not lose their vitality. Instead, they condensed into a slowly wriggling ocean of foam, as if they were a new, evil, and powerful life form.

Who knew how many variations there were in this overwhelming pile of meat?

It did not need to be too much. As long as the ‘Gu Wuxin’s super body’ could summon the strength equivalent to thirty to fifty ‘Tyrant Armored Dragons’, it would not even need to be maintained for three to five days. As long as the strongest combat ability deep inside every cell was unleashed within one day and one night, there would be no chance of victory.

It was because the enemy was not trying to destroy them, but they were in a hurry to destroy the ‘Rainbow Bridge’ behind the enemy.

The initiative was in the hands of the enemy. The enemy was waiting patiently, but they were like tigers that were faced with a hedgehog and could not replace any gaps to attack.

With every second that went by, the Pangu Universe and the human civilization were closer and closer to the tipping point of being pushed into the abyss of light.

Li Yao’s heart was sinking to the bottom.

When he sorted out his messy thoughts and scanned the situation of the battle around him, his heart almost jumped out of his chest.

The squad that bypassed the battlefield and attacked District 47 was unimpeded. They did not encounter any effective obstacles, but it did not mean that they could complete their mission smoothly.

All kinds of dazzling, sonic, and electric attacks were raining down on District 47 like a brilliant fireworks show.

However, when the smoke dispersed, everybody was dumbfounded to replace that, no matter how many facilities they destroyed in District 47, they could not hurt the Bifrost at all.

As time went by, the ‘Rainbow Bridge’ became more and more translucent. It was both like an ice block melting in water and like a projection from another world. The attacks of the giant soldier gods passed through the projection like pouring rain. The best they could do was raise a few ‘water splashes’ and a few ‘ripples’. But they failed to cut off the brilliance of the ‘Rainbow Bridge’ or blow up the surging tide warship. It was all futile.

“How did this happen?”

Li Yao quickly thought of what Gu Wuxin had just said.

The rainbow bridge employed the very advanced technology of mass-energy conversion and space jump. At first, the mass in the three-dimensional universe was transformed into energy. Then, the gaps in the four-dimensional space were torn apart, and the energy was sent out directly with the cutting-edge technology of quantum entanglement and gravitational waves.

In other words, the space where the Bifrost was right now was a tiny four-dimensional space ripple. It was no longer in the same universe as the attackers nearby.

It was like an attacker lifting a ten-thousand-ton rock and bombarding the reflection in a pond. Even if the reflection was blown into pieces, it would never be able to be condensed again. How could the real body be hurt at all?

Li Yao had a very direct understanding of the super body—the advanced technology of flood tide.

Human civilization today had grasped the technology of space jumps, too, including the ability to tear apart space and create temporary wormholes.

However, when human warships were tearing apart the four-dimensional space and creating temporary wormholes, they were at their most vulnerable moment. Not to mention carpet bombing, even a single shot might be enough to sink half of a fleet.i𝐧𝓃𝒓𝒆𝑎𝙙. 𝘤𝘰𝚖

Ever since the space jump technology was invented and applied on a large scale, countless brilliant fleets had been ambushed by the enemy during space jumps. Boss Bai, the ‘Pirate Potentate’, was an expert in such ambushes.

It was also the first reason why Li Yao and the other human experts thought of stabilizing Gu Wuxin and sneaking around the battlefield to attack the Bifrost.

He did not expect that the technology of the ‘Supernatural Body—Flood Tide’ was so much more advanced than that of human beings that they were not scared of sneak attacks at all.

Was it really as Gu Wuxin had said? The Bifrost had soared into the sky, and there was no power that could stop him from sending the message of the Pangu Universe?

“It’s impossible. There must be a way to cut off the Bifrost, or at least destroy the Flood Tide warship!”

Li Yao thought to himself, Since the purpose of the Bifrost is to transform matter into energy, and the energy cannot be destroyed by the attacks of the entities in the three-dimensional universe after it enters the space ripples, I can only try to destroy it from the inside by colliding the frequency of its waves with my soul and my life force.

However, how could it be so easy?

At the very least, Li Yao did not think that ‘Gu Wuxin’s super body’ would give them the time.

The four enormous, intimidating devils were wreathed in grey and pink foam after they fell into the ocean of foam, covered in bruises.

When the foam covered their bodies, they immediately turned into the freshest cells and wriggled and proliferated at a crazy speed. Very soon, their wounds were mostly repaired, and their bodies expanded time and time again. Black shells were even formed on the surface of their bodies, and hundreds of floating tentacles rose up from the periphery, waving crazily in defense of human beings.

Very soon, cracking noises echoed inside the black shell. Furry claws, tentacles that were full of thorns and suckers, and weird tails that were emitting electric arcs crawled out of the shell.

The monster, which had been heavily wounded and on the verge of death a moment ago, had been reborn in less than half a minute and become even stronger and more brutal.

In the meantime, all the human experts, including Li Yao, had been jammed by the sharp brainwaves and the torrent of information released by the ‘Gu Wuxin’s super body’. None of the Giant God Soldiers were able to harass the recovery and rebirth of the monsters with their attacks.

Protected by four devil-like monsters, Gu Wuxin, who was floating in midair, had completed his transformation, too.

He had completely gotten rid of the half-human-half-snake form of the Nuwa Clan and freed his strong legs from the shed skin. He looked like a translucent giant more than fifty meters tall.

He was not wearing any armor, not even any clothes. His skin that should’ve been as smooth as jade was now covered in dense synapses, as if the nerve endings were multiplying infinitely.

The synapses that were exposed to the air were probably some kind of ‘outer antennas’. They could strengthen the mental connection between him, the devils, the monsters, and the ocean of foam and improve his control over the entire battlefield. But they could also remove the last bit of ‘sacred and righteous’ brightness around him, making him look like a devil in a nightmare.

“Damn monster!”

Ding Lingdang was the closest to Gu Wuxin, and she was the most hot-tempered one. She did not care how many times she was transformed. She turned into a shooting star together with the giant soldier and lunged at Gu Wuxin with a shocking exhaust flame. “I don’t believe that you can’t be killed. Try the iron fists of human beings!”

BOOM!

The punch rumbled like the main gun of a super arsenal warship. Crimson ripples and streams of flames spread out in the several square kilometers nearby, as if a magma eruption that had no solid body was taking place. Even Li Yao had to admit that his wife’s punch was getting stronger and stronger. She deserved to be the marvelous girl who blew up a tyrannosaur with one punch!

However, the punch that was as fast as lightning and as powerful as a thunderclap did not cause any damage to Gu Wuxin at all. He did not even have the strength to force his opponent to move at all. Yet, Gu Wuxin had grasped his fist steadily.

“Of course, I will die, but I won’t be killed by you. Just like dinosaurs can never be defeated by ants when they are weak.

Gu Wuxin said casually, “Also, after the modification of the super bodies, we—we have abandoned all the unnecessary impurities inside our bodies and optimized the entire gene pool. Right now, we can only burn for twenty-four hours, but we are closer to the essence of ‘human beings’ than you are.

“With such weak fists, do you think you are qualified to call yourselves the ‘human civilization’ that once dominated the sea of stars? Now, let me tell you the real power that ‘human beings’ represent!
