“Honestly speaking, we don’t know, either.

Li Yao said, “It is possible that they are some kind of life-forms born in lightning—instantaneous, ever-changing, and tens of thousands of times shorter and more brilliant than the civilization of mankind. Although the longevity of every individual is only a few seconds or even a few microseconds, one to two thousand years is enough for them to cross the road of development of a carbon-based intelligent life of tens of thousands of years or even tens of millions of years. Is that so?”

“What?”

Intense confusion and fear were mixed in Gu Wuxin’s overlapping brainwaves.

At this distance, with his keen senses, he could already sense the ‘starving’ smell of the lightning creature.

“Of course, it is just my speculation. In fact, I don’t know what they are exactly. Maybe you and your super body can help me figure it out.

Li Yao couldn’t help but laugh. “Compared to the civilization of mankind or the super bodies, such a brand-new lightning life is so insignificant and short. However, who says that one person cannot defeat the entire universe? Who says that one second cannot be more brilliant than eternity? In short, enjoy your wonderful trip to the ancient giants!”

The ‘scales’ all over Gu Wuxin’s body turned into sharp thorns. He struggled and tore, trying to get rid of the ‘sun catastrophe’ and tear the giant soldier and Li Yao into pieces.

However, his body, which seemed to be made of iron and was not scared of vacuum, had been condensed by billions of cells in only several minutes. It was strong enough, but not tough enough. Although he seemed to be at ease when he took the full-strength strike of Li Yao and all the other human experts, it was impossible for him to not pay a price.

If one was in a sea of foam and had an endless supply of newborn cells to replenish them, naturally, even the most serious injuries could be mostly recovered in the blink of an eye.

However, the place was too far away from his ‘source of strength’. The spiritual link between him and the sea of foam had been jammed by Li Yao’s chaotic life force, too. There was no time for him to catch his breath. How could he free himself in such a hurry?

“Let go! Let go of me!”

Gu Wuxin roared miserably. More and more sharp blades crowded out of his body and pierced into the ‘sun catastrophe’, sabotaging the internal structure of the Giant God Soldier and threatening the spiritual residence of the user.

His arms, on the other hand, turned into two war hammers and smashed at the ‘sun catastrophe’ like a burning storm, crushing the strongest war machine of the human civilization into a pile of garbage.

“I’m sorry. I won’t let go.”

Despite the protection of the Spiritual Nexus, the liquid crystal processor, the crystal suit, and the mustard suit, all the bones inside Li Yao’s body that could be broken had been broken. Under the blast of the immense energy, his face turned from a ‘living skeleton’ into a swollen pig’s head again. However, his smile was brighter than ever, and the brilliance in his eyes was brighter, too. “Don’t you want to be melded with us? Then why are you yelling for me to let go? Come on. Let’s die together!”

“Why?”

Gu Wuxin went on a rampage and tore off the broken head of the ‘sun catastrophe’. However, at this moment, it did not matter how many crystal chips the Giant God Soldier had left. The high-energy magnetic field of the lightning-like life form was already so intense that it could be perceived without any magical equipment. Li Yao tried his best to tie Gu Wuxin up tighter and tighter until he reached a certain direction!

“Isn’t your super body invincible? Doesn’t it represent the ultimate answer of the universe? Then what are you scared of and why are you asking?”

Li Yao smiled miserably and said intermittently, “In fact, you had the opportunity to know why. But unfortunately, you’ve embarked on a completely different path. Even if I tell you what is supporting my battle, you will never understand. Never!”

“I don’t believe it. I don’t believe it.”

Gu Wuxin burst into fury like a crazy devil. “I haven’t been connected to a real super body yet. Enjoy the splendidness of the entire cosmos. I can’t fall here. I will not fall in this small pond at the feet of selfish, insignificant creatures like you!

“Every intelligent creature is their own universe. The so-called ‘cultivation’ is to explore and appreciate the brilliance of their own universe to your heart’s content. You don’t even know what you are exactly, and you are talking about the Universe Ocean?

Li Yao smiled. “Although the Pangu Universe is just a small pond, it is the home that you and I share. You were supposed to protect it, weren’t you?”

Gu Wuxin was dazed for a moment.

Li Yao could clearly see that there was annoyance and regret in the complicated expressions on his face.

Li Yao even sensed that, in the deepest part of the labyrinth, abyss, and cage named ‘Super Entities’, a few ghosts were kneeling on the ground with their hands extended to the sky, shouting in regret, “No!”

But in the next second, Gu Wuxin’s movements were even more intense and furious. He exerted his strength and tore apart the left arm of the ‘sun catastrophe’!

Thankfully, the ‘sun catastrophe’ had embedded countless broken blades and broken thorns into each other’s bodies. Their right arms and legs were tied up, too, which was why Gu Wuxin failed to get rid of them.

At this moment, they had rushed all the way to the inner layer of the ancient star’s gravitational field. They could clearly feel the gravity condensing in front of them.

Thousands of lightning tentacles were only one step away from them.

At the last moment.

Taking a deep breath, Li Yao turned on the self-detonation system of the Giant God Soldier calmly. A dangerous red light immediately appeared in his vision.

But right then, another force invaded the control menu of the Giant God Soldier and hijacked the self-destruction system.

It was Lu Qingchen.

“You…”

Li Yao was somewhat surprised.

“Let me do it.”

Lu Qingchen was still smiling casually. “One person is enough to detonate a Giant God Soldier. There is no need for more people to be buried together with the monster. Besides, it is the well-known ‘father of the nation’ of the Star Glory Federation. Although it is a bit redundant, the monster is not good enough.

“Lu Qingchen, what the hell are you thinking?”

Li Yao had to admit that he did not understand Lu Qingchen at all.

The last time he had the same feeling was when he saw Jin Tuyi.

“As I said a long time ago, although I can kill billions of people without batting an eyelid, I am still a sincere patriot. The only thing between you and me is the competition of the Great Dao. There is no personal grudge between us. At this moment, why should I cling to you and demand that you be buried together with me?

Lu Qingchen said, “Besides, you have a more important mission that belongs to none other than yourself, don’t you?”

The souls of the two quickly collided, producing thousands of dazzling sparks.

From the moment they first met to this moment, the scenes over the past hundred years were flashing in the souls of the two ‘old enemies’.

Li Yao understood what Lu Qingchen meant. He no longer resisted Lu Qingchen’s manipulation.

“All the melodrama that should be told and all the heroic words that should be roared seem to have been performed during the battle against the ‘Fuxi’. This time, let’s leave it at that. See you later, Vulture Li Yao.”

Lu Qingchen paused for a moment and said in a voice that only he could hear, “Goodbye… Uncle Li.”

Huala!

The cover on the top of the high-energy crystal reactor on the back of the Giant God Soldier was blown open, forming an emergency escape channel. Li Yao, who was wearing a crystal suit, was ejected under the protection of Little Black, the liquid crystal processor, and fled out of the gravity field of the ancient planet.

The Giant Soldier, which had lost its mainframe crystal processor, had lost more than 95% of its skills. With a casual tug, Gu Wuxin had torn it into pieces.

But the remaining torso and the high-energy crystal reactor could still complete the most ancient and simplest tactic of self-destruction.

In the dead silence of the sea of stars, a dazzling flower of energy and metal was blossoming.

With the legendary Supreme Emperor’s Giant God Soldier as the main body, the super Giant God Soldier, which was condensed from dozens of components of the Giant God Soldier, was exceptionally gorgeous when it self-detonated.

At this moment, even the ancient giants nearby were eclipsed. The entire universe was the background of the ‘sun catastrophe’. In the middle of the flowers of energy and metal, Li Yao seemed to see Lu Qingchen’s mysterious yet relieved smile.

“…Asshole.”

Li Yao’s eyes seemed to be burning, but there was no telling whether he was cursing Gu Wuxin or Lu Qingchen.

Gu Wuxin struggled hard in the swirl of self-destruction. This time, his body, which had been seriously damaged, was not so easy to repair. His limbs and torso were all messed up, and he looked like a broken clay doll.

Before he was able to fully repair and evolve into a body that was suitable for cruising in the sea of stars, the lightning creatures had already surrounded him from all directions. Countless tentacles of lightning turned into a bloody mouth and swallowed him.

“No!”

Gu Wuxin’s brainwaves turned into visible ripples and spread out in Li Yao’s direction, as if he hated Li Yao’s guts and was determined to drag him down with him.

However, Lu Qingchen had timed the self-detonation of the Giant God Soldier perfectly and pushed Li Yao further away with the force of the explosion. He had been pushed out of the gravity field of the ancient star and the hunting range of the lightning creature.

Maybe Li Yao had been contaminated by the scent of the lightning creature during his previous contact with it, or maybe the lightning creature had already acquired a fat prey such as Gu Wuxin’s super body and did not want to waste more time and energy on hunting Li Yao. In short, all the tentacles of lightning were trying their best to retract and drag Gu Wuxin into the big red spot.

Thousands of electric arcs lunged at Gu Wuxin and crashed into the spiritual shield that he had barely condensed. However, in the next second, ten times more electric arcs crowded close and shattered his spiritual shield, tore apart his dense cells, crawled into his body, and enveloped him.
