Chapter 685: Better Be a Thief
Translator: flycrane01 Editor: Millman97
Mo Xuan was deep in thought . Gold sparks were bursting out of the two deep hollows on the metal skull, while he said, "If the Temple of Immortals' plan succeeded, the Iron Plateau natives would have been the cannon fodder of the Immortal Cultivators . They would have been projected to dozens of space zones nearby via the crystal warships of the space pirates . A total war would have broken out . What else?"
Li Yao's eyes were shining . He spoke so fast that his voice was like rushing bullets . "Then, the Flying Star Sector would have faced an enormous crisis that can only be resolved by focusing all the resources and manpower available .
"There would be two plans for the Cultivators to choose .
"But the Ice God Project would still have been impractical, because the modification of Ice King requires at least twenty years . During the twenty years, the combat ability of Ice King will remain at zero . The Iron Plateau natives and the Immortal Cultivators are no fools . They would not stand by and watch the Cultivators to transform Ice King but come up with a way to sabotage the project!
"Moreover, let's say that Ice King modifications are completed after twenty years and it's turned into an invincible starship, don't forget that the Cultivators have two targets right now: Iron Plateau and Spider Den!
"Awesome as Ice King may be, it can only hit one planet at most . It would is impossible to destroy Iron Plateau and Spider Den at the same time!
"Therefore, if the war broke out, the Ice God Project would have been out of the picture from the beginning .
After a brief silence, Professor Mo Xuan's voice turned sharp . "Then, there's only the Grand Illusionary Soldier Project left . "
"Indeed," Li Yao said coldly . "The Grand Illusionary Soldiers are very cheap and can be refined by the other sects . As long as some of them are produced, they will boast a certain amount of combat ability . Also, they can be deployed in every corner of the Flying Star Sector . It is definitely a piece of perfect, tailor-made magical equipment for the 'riot of the Iron Plateau natives'!
"No . It is also possible that the 'riot of the Iron Plateau natives' was a scheme tailor-made for the Grand Illusionary Soldier Project!
"Faced with the incoming Iron Plateau natives, it would have been impossible for the Cultivators to run the most detailed tests within one to two years patiently .
"Think about it . In the endless darkness, at the edge of the Flying Star Sector, one space town after another is swallowed by the 'ferocious' Iron Plateau natives and space pirates . Countless ordinary people are butchered . The fearsome flames of war are ignited in every part of the Flying Star Sector and sweep across the world!
"Under such circumstances, how can you expect to examine the Grand Illusionary Soldier for one to two years?
"Even three to six months might be too long .
"If I were a leader of a sect, and the space towns in my territory were being assaulted by the Iron Plateau natives, I would definitely try to buy a batch of Grand Illusionary Soldiers to solve the imminent threat whatever the cost .
"In such a case, the Grand Illusionary Soldier Project would be implemented in haste after a short period of one to two months of examination, if it is examined at all, won't it?
"Professor, based on your experience, do you think it is possible to check the loopholes once the Grand Illusionary Project is fully initiated?"
Mo Xuan shook his head . "That would be very difficult .
"Li Yao, you are not a professor in the field of crystal processors . I can only explain it to you with the shallowest metaphor .
"Before the Grand Illusionary Project is activated, the star brain is in the original state . It is like a frozen, solid ocean .
"Although it is difficult to fish for a needle in a frozen ocean, it is still possible once countless experts are gathered .
"However, after the project is activated and the star brain starts running, billions of telepathic thoughts will enter and exit the star brain every second . The frozen ocean will be unfrozen, and surging tides will rage everywhere .
"Think about it . How is it possible to locate a needle that is flowing together with the waves in a rampant ocean with immeasurable undercurrents?"
Li Yao's voice was chilly . "So, if no loopholes are found in the preliminary tests in the beginning one to two months, it is unlikely that they will be found in the future, correct?"
Mo Xuan spoke with a voice resembling the sound of rusted gears . "Yes . "
The training room was caught in a brief silence . The only sounds were Li Yao's heavy breaths and the background noises when the crystal processors were transmitting information over a long distance .
After a long time, Li Yao took a long breath and said, "The great bandit Fengyu Zhong revealed himself in order to attract the Cultivators to the Iron Plateau Space Zone . The battle in the Iron Plateau Space Zone was meant to drive the Cultivators to Iron Plateau in order to raise a great war between Iron Plateau natives and space residents .
"Once the war broke out, the world of Cultivators would have had to pick the Grand Illusionary Soldier Project!
"If that were the case, everything would be more logical .
"Since the appearance of Immortal Cultivators in the big explosion during the Skyhill Sword Seminar, we have considered the Temple of Immortals to be the schemers and the space pirates to be their puppets .
"Therefore, Cultivators devoted all their resources and attention to the Temple of Immortals .
"No one has ever thought the other possibility . If space pirates are the puppets of the Temple of Immortals, are the Temple of Immortals a puppet of somebody else?"
Mo Xuan pondered for a moment . "You are suspecting Xiao Xuance?"
"He is indeed worth suspecting," Li Yao replied .
"What's his motive?" Mo Xuan asked . "He is the CEO of the Grand Illusionary Group and the crownless king of the Flying Star Sector . He is already at the peak of the world of Cultivators . Does he have any reason to destroy the mountain below his feet?"
"A crownless king is not as good as a crowned king," Li Yao answered gloomily .
Mo Xuan thought for a moment and said, "Fair enough . But there are two points that call for our attention .
"Firstly, the Temple of Immortals' scheme on Iron Plateau has met a fiasco . The Iron Plateau natives and the space residents are communicating closely right now . It is practically impossible that a war will threaten to break out again . But still, the Grand Illusionary Soldier Project has been introduced and is waiting to be tested .
"This point alone is enough to disapprove your assumption just now .
