Chapter 2978 - Small Problem
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
One, two, three, four, seventy, ninety, a hundred, a thousand rainbows surged out of the translucent virtual worlds and melded into a giant swirl.
They melded, swallowed, split, and absorbed. Different pieces crashed into each other nonstop, producing more brilliant colors. They were like animals that were waiting for something.
In the end, an exceptionally bright and colorful rainbow joined the swirl, triggering an amazing chain reaction. At first, it turned into a blossoming lotus, and then something that looked like an egg or a cocoon grew out
of the stamen. When the jade-like, pure white cocoon broke apart, a naked baby broke out of the cocoon and started swimming in the ocean of data and information.
The baby was growing and expanding at a visible speed. Very soon, he had gone through childhood and adolescence and turned into an untamable, valiant young man. With the surging data bubbles, the young man was
endowed with a lot of life experience. Every pore on his body was brimming with an immeasurable aura. The pieces of lotus flowers and jade cocoons turned into majestic armor and flapping cloak that covered his
almost perfect body.
"Ah!"
It was hard to tell whether the man was a young man or a middle-aged one. He raised his head and roared, as if he were yawning, indicating that Vulture Li Yao had returned from the dream of endless virtual worlds!
The entire ocean of data was triggered by his soul and resonated with his will.
"What powerful computational ability!"
"What an incredible algorithm! So many new algorithms have been perfectly combined, making my father's soul more and more unfathomable!
"What level is this exactly? I've never sensed such a level from any human being before! Congratulations, Father! Congratulations, Father! You've made a brand-new breakthrough through the training of your clones!"
Countless plankton, luminous jellyfish, and sea lily-like light spots were dancing around Li Yao to celebrate his rebirth.
"That's right, I've broken through again. This… is the most wonderful feeling!"
Li Yao looked at his hands, which had been condensed by his telepathic thoughts, and recalled the past. He smiled and said, "Rolling in the boundless world of mortals, I saw every detail of my personality and soul and
triggered the potential that I had never experienced before. I was an eminent monk, I was the son of heaven in the primeval era, I was a general of iron and blood, and I was also an unparalleled ferocious beast that was
galloping in the wilderness. I was once full of ambition, and I was once disheartened. I was once corrupted by killing and animalistic desires. I was once faced with a sky full of snow, and I was enlightened by the
principles of emptiness. In the end, I combined so many wonderful experiences and captured the clearest self in the reflection and diffraction of countless pieces.
've changed.
became taller, stronger, handsome, kind, humble, and wise.
've also become more gentle, approachable, and untainted. In short, my entire personality has sublimated.
"Although my current level can't be measured by the level of my combat ability—it's too simple and crude, and it will really damage my elegance in the Soul Division Stage.
But I can clearly feel that I have a deeper understanding about the essence of the universe and even the entire universe. I can see through some of the mysteries hidden in the gaps of the universe.
ight now, when I'm faced with an enemy, I'm afraid that I'm not restricted by the number of enemies. Whether I'm faced with one enemy or a hundred, I can output the strongest combat ability at the same time,
which will significantly improve my endurance.
"More importantly, when I was faced with the unspeakable terrors, the monsters on the other side of the universe, and even the descender in the high-dimensional space, my soul was clearer, my belief was firmer, and
I was less likely to be corrupted or interfered by them. I vaguely felt that it was of paramount importance for our adventure in the future.
"Xiao Ming, where is my body? Is it ready for an unprecedented impact?"
"Yes, Dad."
Xiao Ming said cheerfully, "Your body has been carefully refined by the best biochemical experts of the Blood Demon Sector to ensure that you are in the strongest state of your life force. Every brain cell is crystal clear
and intact, exactly the same as when you left. Then, you were moved from the Gold Crystal Tower to the largest mobile communication base station in the Star Ocean Imperium, where the Spiritual Nexus is completely
unobstructed, waiting for your return!
"Very good. Then let's meet again in reality—no, in the material world!"
Li Yao roared and split into countless streaks of brightness that looked like rainbows, flying toward the feeble light spots above the ocean of data and information.
na moment, his soul flew out of 'Eternal Rescue! and swam in the dark vacuum at the speed of light.
He 'saw' the fully-automatic defense positions that were slowly being repaired around the entire Empyrean Terminus Sector, as well as the awe-inspiring fleets. He also 'saw' the appearance and internal data of many
starships. He even hacked into the network of the starships, hijacked the monitoring crystal cameras, and observed the busyness of the crew members.
He 'saw' the reborn Empyreal Terminus and the scattered towns and living creatures on the planet. He could even 'see' the brainwaves of the living creatures being released, entangled, and resonated in the feeble
energy layer that looked like mist and clouds.
Endless information was flooding into his soul. If it were Li Yao in the past, he would definitely exclaim that he could not handle it and had to give up 99% of the information. But right now, he could run thousands of
algorithms at the same time and perform calculations as fast as lightning.
However, he was in no mood to calculate right now. There was only one thing on his mind.
He could not wait to go back to his body and meet the most important woman in his life.
The invisible rainbow accelerated into the communication base floating in the sea of stars. When he arrived, all the crystal processors inside the communication base were humming. All the crystal cameras were
blinking. Even the bouncing waves on the light beam turned into blurred rainbows.
Deep inside the communication base, inside a medical cabin that had been specially designed for him, his body was bobbing up and down in high-nutrition liquids, closely monitored by the best medical team in the
angu Universe.
Suddenly, all the parameters on the light beam of the crystal processor soared to the maximum. The nutrition liquids turned transparent in the blink of an eye, only to be consumed by his hungry body in the next
second. Even the lights were flickering. His body was absorbing all the spiritual energy nearby crazily like a black hole!
'a! Pa! Pa! Pa!
All the crystal processors had exploded. The lights on the ceiling and on the walls were all extinguished. The medical treatment room was plunged into darkness. While the medical specialists were exclaiming in shock,
he slowly opened his eyes, which were glittering like a rainbow.
"Are you kidding me? Do you have to be so crazy every time you upgrade?"
He swallowed and warmed up his dry throat. He mumbled to himself, "Last time, it was dyeing. This time, it's contact lenses?"
Half a day later, not far from the communication base, on a small, fully-automatic shuttle painted with the Rising Dragon of the Nine Stars emblem…
The shuttle of this model did not require many crew members in the first place. After special modifications, all the crew members had been replaced by spiritual puppets and remotely controlled by Xiao Ming. Even Li
Yao could spare some of his soul power to control the shuttle. It was a quiet place without interference in the vast universe.
Although Li Yao had surpassed the Divinity Transformation Stage and was one of the few super experts in the Pangu Universe, his heart was still beating fast when the cabin door in front of him was opened, as if he
were back to the ignorant and vigorous young man when he went to Ding Lingdang's house for the first time.
He had imagined meeting Ding Lingdang again countless times.
For example, when the cabin door was opened, his wife, whose long hair reached her waist, would stand below the window and gaze at the sea of stars. After a while, she would turn around and smile.
Or rather, it was not a smile but a cry that melted the fear and longing for each other after years of separation.
However, he was obviously wrong.
Hardly had the cabin door been opened when a giant hand reached out and grabbed his collar, dragging him inside.
Then, he felt that an octopus weighing 100,000 tons was pressing on his body—the kind where all the suckers were on full power.
"Honey?"
Li Yao could only utter two words before he was rendered speechless.
Even the super experts in the Soul Division Stage were rendered speechless when their tongue was sucked by a black hole.
Alright, there was no need to say anything. This was indeed his wife's style.
Li Yao could only turn himself into an octopus and respond with a hundredfold enthusiasm, tangling with Ding Lingdang shamelessly.
The two kissed for a long time, so long that the entire universe seemed to be melting.
Over the past few years, the life-and-death experiences, the soul-stirring moments, the twists and turns, and the desperate counterattacks had all been released in their sweet and moist breaths.
Finally, before his tongue became necrotic, Li Yao regained his freedom.
Taking a deep breath, he asked cautiously, "My wife?"
"Hush. Don't talk."
Ding Lingdang buried her head in his chest. Her fiery red long hair drilled into his body like countless hungry tentacles. "Let me hug you for a while longer. Let me hug you for a while longer."
"Oh."
Li Yao blinked. After another five minutes or fifty minutes, he shouted for the third time, "…Wife?"
"You are so annoying. Can't you just let me hug you for a while?"
Ding Lingdang finally raised her head. She frowned and said, "You like talking so much, don't you? I have a 'small question' that I need to ask you!".
