Chapter 1001: 1001
After hearing Li Yao's speech, Jin Xinyue felt as if she had observed a life-and-death battle between two top experts from a close distance and that the sharp swords and sabers brushed past her skin narrowly .
She could even feel that her master's and her father's blades of thought were rubbing her brain, causing both excruciating pain and ecstasy as if somebody had poured a bucket of icy water over her head .
The thrilled feeling made her sweat and barely able to stand .
Sorting through the whole thing, she felt that her father was more magnificent and mysterious than ever in her heart .
Jin Xinyue smiled bitterly and said, "It seems that I've always underestimated my father .
"It's funny that I used to think that my father knew nothing when I killed my stepmother without alarming anyone and raised subordinates who were loyal to me in the Gold Crow Kingdom . I thought of the man as just so-so .
"As it turns out, he was crystal clear about everything, and he was indulging me on purpose!
"It's a pity that the Red Tide Plan, which my father spent decades perfecting, has overlooked two fatal factors, one being Elder Nether Spring's Spore Stratagem and the other being you . Eventually, somebody else is going to pick the fruit, and he is destined to fail!
"Master, there is something that has been bothering me . If my father is really as terrifying as you described, why was he fooled by Elder Nether Spring?"
Li Yao sighed and pointed at his head . "It's all about the distribution of your computational ability .
"Nobody is omnipotent . However spectacular the computational ability of a Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator or a demon emperor is, the activity of their braincells has its own limits, too .
"What an insane and extraordinary cause it is to concoct the Red Tide Plan on his own, hoping to conquer the Heaven's Origin Sector in one war! Your father must've dedicated his entire computational ability to the plan . Did he really have the time to bother about anything else?
"Perhaps, he thought that other demon emperors were idiots who were likely to expose the real Red Tide Plan . Therefore, he had to keep his distance from them and act alone .
"But it never occurred to him that the mouths of his idiotic teammates were full of fangs . Not only were they hamstringing him, they were even trying to bite him hard!
"I am most familiar with such a state of mind . Tell me the truth . Do you feel that I act weird occasionally? It's almost like I'm a genius one moment and a retard the next . Sometimes I am talking rationally and sometimes I am just talking nonsense, right?"
"Well, I dare not think that . Master is a man of great wisdom and integrity, and you are born with an innocent mind . You occasionally behave like a child because you were getting to the truth of Dao!"
Li Yao smiled . "Forget the truth of Dao . The real reason is simple . That's because, most of the time, I allocate 95% of my computational ability to the contemplation of tactics, schemes, and studies of magical equipment and ancient classics . The computational ability that is dedicated to communication only takes up 5% of the whole, at best . It's only natural that I look inert and weird .
"For example, although I am talking to you with a tiny proportion of my computational ability right now, I have dedicated most of my computational ability to thinking how to destroy the Eye of Blood Demon . It's a simple example of multitasking .
"Also, sometimes, like a few days ago, in order to sort through the reasons and ramifications of the Red Tide Plan, I even burnt my life and soul and activated my brain cell activity to above 1,500% . After the crazy calculations, my braincells needed to take a long time of rest . During such a period, my wisdom would be no different from that of an ordinary person . It is very likely that I would ignore the simplest traps and schemes .
"Your father must've been similar to me, or even more serious, because it was 'destruction' on my mind but 'construction' on his mind . Destruction is always easier than construction .
"In order to build the Eye of Blood Demon and carry out the Red Tide Plan, he must've devoted 110% of his computational ability to the endeavor . His brain was overloading every day all the time . Did he really have the redundant computational ability to care whether or not other demon emperors had evil plans?
"Maybe, that was how he gradually lost control of the subordinates around him, who were compromised by Elder Nether Spring one by one . Eventually, even the Red Tide Plan became a stepping stone for the Spore Stratagem!"
Although they were on opposing sides, Li Yao still thought very highly of Jin Tuyi .
Jin Tuyi's destined failure was perhaps because he chose an invincible enemy and an impossible mission in the beginning and met all kinds of unexpected factors at the last moment .
In short, it was not his fault!
"By the way…" Li Yao sighed and said, "I didn't tell you everything before we went to Heavenly Path City not because I did not trust you .
"It is true that I recruited you as my disciple because it concerned my interests . For example, you are Jin Tuyi's daughter, so I can talk to him more quickly through you . Also, because of the Divine Blood of Chaos, you have turned into a human being from a demon, which is a great example for the integration of the Heaven's Origin Sector and the Blood Demon Sector in the future .
"However, now that I have recruited you as my disciple, I will not keep anything from you or manipulate you like a chess piece .
"I didn't tell your earlier for a simple reason . It is because your acting skills are still a bit naïve and far from immaculate . In such an important dialogue between such two influential participants such as your father and me, you would've given us away very easily . Do you understand?"
