Su Changfa, Professor Mo Xuan, and Lu Zui took turns to show up. Their knowledge flowed into Lu Qingchen’s memory and soul like a stream.

“True patriots don’t need flowers, cheers, or medals. They don’t need anyone’s approval in any form. They don’t even need to be misunderstood, forgotten by the people they protect, or buried in the dust of history.

Lu Zui said solemnly, “The strength of the motherland is the best compliment for him.

“Lonely Yin does not grow; solitary Yang does not grow. Yin and Yang harmonize. This is the most perfect form of coexistence between cultivators and the great dao of cultivation.”

Su Changfa said, “Qingchen, when you fully understand this principle and can freely switch between cultivation and immortality, and even completely abandon the restraints of the two narrow concepts of ‘cultivation’ and ‘cultivation’, it will be the day when you break out of your seclusion and realize your

true self!”

“Human beings have been bound by the primitive, feeble, and short-lived form of the naked ape for too long. Too long, too long, too long. It is the most perfect form for the intelligent creatures of the planet era, or even the most perfect form for them to roam the sea of stars in the three thousand Sectors.

However, if we want to break out of the three thousand Sectors and explore the universe beyond the universe one day, we must abandon the form mercilessly!

“The Great Dao is merciless,” Mo Xuan said. “It is indeed not easy to abandon the form that has lasted for hundreds of thousands of years. It can only be done when one becomes cold, cruel, and evil!

“However, no matter how evil and cruel the mission is, somebody has to do it. Somebody has to play the role of darkness in order to bring new brightness to the civilization of mankind!

“Little Chen!”

Lu Zui’s voice became louder and louder. “If there comes a day when you are destined to do something that benefits the country and your compatriots but goes against the law and ethics, don’t hesitate. Just do it. Then, hold your head high like a man and face the judgment of the law and ethics fair and

square!

“This way, the interests of the nation are guaranteed, and laws, ethics, and so-called ‘justice’ are maintained!

“Let the self-righteous ‘righteous men’ accept the flowers, cheers, and medals in the sunlight. We will be satisfied as long as we can watch our motherland grow stronger and stronger in the darkness!

“Qingchen!”

Su Changfa’s voice was getting more and more enthusiastic, too. “Hahahaha. I didn’t expect that I would find such an unpolished gem like you in this place! I thought that my life and the great Dao that I’ve persisted on for a hundred years would be quietly buried in the remote areas of the sea of stars!

“Believe me, I am definitely not wrong about you. You are unique. You are the Child of Destiny. You are destined to unite the Great Dao of Cultivation and Immortal Cultivation. You are destined to balance light and darkness and bring new hope.

“Don’t let down your potential, and don’t forget your mission

“Lu Qingchen, now is the time!”

Mo Xuan’s voice was filled with anxiety and excitement, too. “Stop hesitating. Think about it carefully! Right now, the army of the Black Wind Fleet is marching close. The Star Glory Federation is definitely no match for the army of tigers and wolves from the center of the sea of stars. Even if the Phantom

Plan is not activated, the only outcome for the federation is doom. Countless compatriots will die miserably in vain. They might even be slaves of the Immortal Cultivators and live a life worse than death. They will be oppressed and savaged for a hundred, a thousand, or even ten thousand years!

“We are going to die anyway. What’s there to worry about?

“Is it better to be a ‘original’ being savaged to death by the Immortal Cultivators than to be a ‘fully-informationized’ new life form?

“This is our only chance. Only by launching the Phantom Plan and swallowing the Black Wind Fleet can the Star Glory Federation be fully informationized and virtualized. Only then can the federation rise and compete with the Imperium of True Human Beings and the Star Alliance!

Lu Zui said, “Little Chen!”

Su Changfa said, “Qingchen!””

Mo Xuan said, “Lu Qingchen!”

“Lu Zui.

”_” Su Changfa.

‘Mo Xuan was rendered speechless.

The three experts, by normal standards, were definitely not good people. Just like that, their entire belief was ground into powder, soaked in the most intense blood, and injected into Lu Qingchen’s heart as strengthening drugs. After a hundred years of tempering, the complete form of ‘Devil Lu Qingchen’

was finally born!

Right now, in the deepest part of ‘Devil Lu Qingchen’s’ heart, every secret was laid bare in front of Li Yao, allowing Li Yao to fully understand his growing experience, the process of shaping his beliefs, and the subtlest changes in his mind.

Faced with Lu Qingchen’s life and his final decision to activate the Phantom Plan, Li Yao could only sigh, not knowing how to comment on it.

Was Lu Qingchen guilty?

There were definitely some.

At the last moment of the ‘Federation Defense War’, he hijacked the mainframe crystal processor of ‘Black Swir!’, the flagship of the Black Wind Fleet, and triggered a super large-scale arrival of extraterrestrial devils. Countless soldiers of the Star Ocean Imperium were possessed by the extraterrestrial

devils and tured into demonic Cultivators. The instantaneous enhancement of his combat ability killed countless soldiers of the federation.

If Lu Qingchen’s original purpose was ‘patriotism’ and he should not have belittled or berated them, what was wrong with the soldiers of the federation who had sacrificed themselves in vain?

They could’ve lived on, reunited with their family, and had a happier family. They could’ve shed their precious sweat and blood in more worthwhile places. They could’ve lived wonderful lives and created endless possi

ies instead of turning into cold bones and shattered stardust in the sea of stars!

Therefore, Li Yao would never forgive Lu Qingchen for what he did. He insisted that all the reasons and excuses were useless. Lu Qingchen had to be judged fairly in order to comfort the deceased heroes.

However, as Lu Qingchen’s life experiences and memory pieces were exposed to the public, Li Yao was able to ‘understand’ his choice more and more after he understood every level of Lu Qingchen’s mind.

Maybe, Professor Mo Xuan was right. Under the circumstances, the federation was doomed to failure. They had no other options at all.

‘The victory of the federal defense war was largely due to a series of unexpected factors.

Li Yao, together with the twelve experts of the ancient Saints, descended from the sky and appeared in the center of the battlefield.

Bai Xinghe suddenly tore off his disguise of keeping a low profile for a hundred years and turned from ‘Mouse Bai’ into ‘Boss Bai’, displaying the art of commanding in the Divinity Transformation Stage and turning the Great White Fleet into an unstoppable saber.

Even the most ordinary soldiers of the federation army, including ‘Mad Dog’ Helian Lie, sacrificed themselves without fear!

Many unexpected factors combined to create the final glorious victory.

However, none of them had foreseen Li Yao’s return and Boss Bai’s rise.

Even Li Yao was not confident that he could convince the twelve experts such as Long Yangjun to stand on the federation’s side.

Without the unexpected factors, the Star Glory Federation would certainly have been defeated by the Black Wind Fleet. The best outcome would have been that the people of the federation would rather die than submit and fight until the end. The entire federation would have been burnt to the ground, and

the fate of the federation would have been delayed for another one to two hundred years.

Then, countless citizens of the federation would die miserably in vain, just like Professor Mo Xuan had said.

So, did Lu Qingchen have a choice?

Li Yao did not know what kind of path he would walk on if he were in Lu Qingchen’s shoes and had Lu Qingchen’s unique growing experience.

He could only watch in silence. In the colorful memory pieces, Lu Qingchen failed miserably and was reduced to a remnant soul. He lingered around the Star Glory Federation for a long time, but he still activated the instinct of a’star child’ and rushed to the deepest part of the universe through the

four-dimensional space.

Then, Lu Qingchen’s remaining soul was discovered and captured by Fuxi.

Li Yao could feel the temptation, deception, and modification of the Fuxis for Lu Qingchen.

He could also feel Lu Qingchen’s undying will to resist the temptation and suppression.

Finally, the deafening roars just now.

“Even if I am just an insignificant speck of dust in the sea of stars, the gods and devils above the universe will not be able to control my trajectory!

“Who do you think I am? I am Lu Qingchen of the Star Glory Federation!

“Hahahaha. If you want to take advantage of the federation, go ahead and try. Even if I’m dead, thousands of people of the federation will rise up against you and make you pay a high price just like you did to me!

“Li Yao, you must protect the federation, or I will not let you go even if I die!”

“Federation, my Federation…”

Lu Qingchen’s soul waves and memory pieces came to an abrupt end.

It was as if all the light, heat, radiation, and high-energy particle streams had been released during the supernova explosion. What he left for Li Yao in the end was a complicated, tangled ripple.

Before Li Yao grasped the ripple, it was already gone, as if Lu Qingchen had sighed helplessly.

Lu Qingchen of the Star Glory Federation had fallen!

“Lu Qingchen…”

Li Yao roared, his soul burning.

“Look, the wall of Fuxi’s crystal processor has been blown open by Lu Qingchen’s self-detonation. It is caught in the confusion of data and logic and has no time to defend or track us!

The mental devil shrieked, “Li Yao, let’s go in now!”

As it tumed out, when the light spot that contained all of Lu Qingchen’s emotions and will exploded, even the defense wall of the crystal processor constructed by the astronomical computational ability of the Fuxis was not enough to resist his attack. There were holes everywhere, and part of the core data

and logic circuits were even exposed.

It was like the carapace and exoskeleton of a ferocious beast had exploded, exposing the soft internal organs and the intricate neural network.

“This… is impossible…”

For the first time, Fuxi’s voice was filled with astonishment and fury. The tentacles of light waved crazily, trying to fix the loopholes in his data and logic.

However, it was too late!
