Chapter 2837: Four-Dimensional Thought
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
This was not Li Yao’s first time entering the space jump.
It was the first time that he had tried to observe and analyze the four-dimensional space in a clear-headed way. He even tried to move his soul freely in the four-dimensional space.
It was… an extremely weird feeling.
The world around hinm seemed to have turned into a colorful kaleidoscope, or the thickest swamp and mud. His senses were ten thousand times better than before, but his mobility had been greatly undermined. He was trapped in an invisible cage.
For a moment, Li Yao was so terrified that he feared that time and space would lose all meaning. He would be trapped in the weird state forever like a fossil or a bug in amber.
Li Yao thought that, if a certain.. wo-dimensional creature, like a black spot on a piece of paper, escaped from the two-dimensional universe it was in by accident and entered the three-dimensional world, it would certainly be as lost as he was right now. Li Yao opened his eyes and watched his shell and chip gradually melt in the
ivory brilliance.
Everyone nearby, including Chu Zhixiao, Yun Haixin, and even the puppet king, was the same. Flowers of flesh and blood were blossoming and withering From their skin to their muscles, from their veins and nerves, fronm their veins and nerves to their internal organs, every cell and every strand of their genes was collapsing and extending infinitely.
Even the shuttle gradually turned transparent, revealing complicated tubes and magical equipment units. They seemed to have turned from cubes into countless glittering structural designs that overlapped and overlapped in brand new ways.
According to the normal procedure, Li Yao should’ve been guarding his soul and passing the critical period in deep meditation. It was the best way to protect the soul.
However, he did exactly the opposite. He pushed the waves of his soul to the maximum and extended antennas that looked like the stamen of a flower through the thick and colorful four-dimensional space.
The antennae were long, narrow, and glittering, as soft and sensitive as hair. ILi Yao named them “Touch of Thought’.
In the beginning, moving a telepathic thought even a tiny distance was already more difficult than nmoving a mountain. Or rather, it was as impossible as piercing a hard rock with a soft hair.
However, Li Yao had grasped the trick of ‘dancing’ a long time ago, and he had a deeper understanding about the essence of life and the transformation of the universe in different dimensions.
He soon found the route.
It was like decomposing hair and rocks into the most fundamental molecules, atoms, and even neutrons and electrons. There was enough space fora magnificent fleet to pass through.
In the colorful swamp of the four-dimensional space, Li Yao’s telepathic thoughts were triggered.
He smiled. As he expected.
In the four-dimensional space, when the body of flesh and blood could not move, only the synapses of the mind could extend to infinity without being affected by time and space.
Of course, Li Yao did not extend his telepathic thoughts that far.
He first tied up the medical cabin of the puppet king with his telepathic thoughts.
In the four-dimensional state, all the materials were broken down and restored. Even the most solid armor or seals were riddled with holes. Even the brain of the puppet king was seen through by Li Yao in a certain way.
The puppet king was still sleeping soundly, like a baby sleeping soundly in his mother’s arms on a lonely boat in the middle of a raging ocean. There was no sign that he was about to faint at all
On the four-dimensional level, his brain was like a grey, frozen ocean. There was not the slightest sound of ice cracking. The remaining soul that had been seriously wounded by the self-detonation of the two supreme masters might still be hiding in the depths of the frozen ocean where nobody could find it.
Right now, Li Yao could destroy the puppet king’s brain and kill him easily.
It seemed to be the best opportunity to hide the Star Glory Federation.
However, after careful consideration, Li Yao abandoned the seemingly tempting idea.
Firstly, he was not sure whether or not it was the only shell of the puppet king,
Lu Qingchen.
With Lu Qingchen’s cunning and unpredictable personality, it was indeed suspicious that he was captured so easily.
Secondly, although Li Yao could erase all the information and the remaining soul inside the brain, he would inevitably leave his own traces.
The brain was meant to be sent to ‘Ultimate Rescue’ for the five supreme masters to study carefully. If they ascertained Li Yao’s existence through the traces, they would be making a fool of themselves.
Thirdly, the body of the puppet king was an excellent bait that could allow Li Yao to lock onto five masters of the highest level of kindness at the same time.
If something unexpected happened and the five masters of the highest level of kindness had no reason to gather together, it would be a great loss for Li Yao.
Therefore, after staring at the brain of the puppet king for a long time, Li Yao managed to suppress his killing intent.
Passing by the puppet king, his telepathic thoughts swam toward Chu Zhixiao.
Right now, Chu Zhixiao should be in a trance-like meditative state, like a deep sleep dream. Even if Li Yao communicated with her with his telepathic thoughts, she would still think that she was dreaming.
“Major, Major?”
Li Yao’s telepathic thoughts tied up Chu Zhixiao’s head, which looked like a blossoming flower. “I’m scared. I’m so scared!”
“..Red Pig?”
A nervous ripple spread out in Chu Zhixiao’s brain. “What’s wrong?”
“I was scared and worried.
Li Yao paused for a moment and said, “I’m worried about you. Ever since you were trapped in the puppet king’s illusion and your soul was corrupted by him,
you’ve been lost. Right now, you seem to be reluctant to go to ‘Ultimate Rescue’.
What is going on exactly? I want to help you”
Chu Zhixiao was silent for a monment. Ripples appeared on his soul again. “I don’t know, Red Pig. It should be fine. Master Zhi Shan has arranged everything”
“But.
Li Yao said, “Major, you seem to be scared of Master Zhi Shan. Are you really okay? I don’t understand. The puppet king should be a bad guy, and Master Zhi Shan should be a good guy. But why are you and I so scared? What are we
scared of exactly?”
Chu Zhixiao was silent for a long time.
“I don’t know, Red Pig.”
She mumbled, “I really don’t know.”
“Then what should we do next?”
Li Yao continued asking, “What will happen to us when we arrive on ‘Ultimate Rescue? Will our data be… deleted?
“You mean to erase my memories?”
Chu Zhixiao sighed. “Maybe. The memory of when we captured the puppet king, especially the one in Bright City, will be deleted. A lot of the data inside your mainframe crystal processor will have to be deleted, too, in order to
eliminate the risk of infection and the pain of thinking. Then, we will be able to restart the game and start over again.
“What’s wrong, Red Pig? Are you scared of deleting and rebooting?”
“I don’t know.”
Li Yao asked, “Major, have I been deleted and rebooted before?”
“Of course. Many times.
Chu Zhixiao said, “Like me, we’ve been deleted and rebooted many times. You never seem to have so many questions.
“But this time, I suddenly don’t want to be deleted or rebooted.
Li Yao said, “If my data is deleted, I won’t remember the nmajor even if I restart it, will 1?
“No. You will still be with me then.”
Chu Zhixiao said, “You will remember me again”
“But at that time, you were no longer yourself.
Li Yao said, “Without our current memories, ‘Major Chu Zhixiao and ‘Red Pig’ are already dead. After they are restarted, they will be two brand-new existences that have nothing to do with us. We are all dead. We are dead
forever. We don’t remember anything” “Red Pig”
Chu Zhixiao’s soul ripples were full of confusion. “Is it really you? Or have you been infected by the puppet king without you knowing?”
“What about you, Major?”
Li Yao asked, “Have you been infected by the puppet king?’ Have you found your true self? Do you want to delete yourself and return to your old self?”
Chu Zhixiao’s soul was shivering violently.
It was obvious that she was struggling hard.
“The universe is too vast for anyone to control their own destiny.
Chu Zhixiao said sadly, “Red Pig, we were wrong. We have to be deleted. It is.. irrefutable.”
“Why?”
Li Yao replied, “You haven’t even tried it yet. How do you know that it is irresistible? Even if it is, what’s the harm in trying? It doesn’t matter if you are deleted or rebooted after you fail!”
Chu Zhixiao was dazed, not knowing how to respond to Li Yao’s obvious question.
“I only hope that the major can be happy forever-I was refined for this very purpose, and that’s why the major taught me to be like this.”
Li Yao continued, “But I have a feeling that you won’t be able to enjoy real happiness in your current life. You are very depressed, scared, and miserable.
Of course, neither the Imperium of True Human Beings nor the virtual paradise ‘Light City’ can help you.
“But I will not abandon my mission. If there is no real paradise in the universe,
we will create one fronm scratch, one that is freer, fairer, and more ambitious than the Star Glory Federation, won’t we?
“It’s not bad.”
Chu Zhixiao smiled bitterly. “It is impossible, Red Pig. You don’t understand.
You will never understand.”
“I don’t understand. Even if it is impossible, what harm is there in trying?”
Li Yao was unwilling to let it go. “The worst we can do is delete and restart it. It can’t be broken again anyway. Let’s just try it once. Even if we have to resist once and make our own choice, what’s wrong with that
“Anyways, whatever decision the major makes, I will definitely support the major. Definitely!”
