Chapter 3042 Lu Qingchen’s New Body

　　Li Yao thought quickly and asked, “How did you know the way to find the other half of the Fuxi?”

　　“When I hacked into the database of the other half of the Fuxi through the crystal cables, I had already located its specific location.

　　Lu Qingchen replied quickly, “Although the space of Silver City has been very chaotic over the past few days, I’ve been trying my best to figure out the path to it. As it turned out, I found a certain pattern. However, the closer I got to its body, the more ferocious beasts and fully-automatic battle puppets there were. The fire of war was more intense, and I was running out of supplies and spiritual energy. Naturally, I did not dare to barge in. But things are different now that you are here, the ‘best expert in the Pangu Universe’!”

　　“Then,”

　　Ignoring the sarcasm in Lu Qingchen’s words, Li Yao continued. “Can you guarantee that you will be able to control the real body of the other half of the Fuxi, or even all the spiritual puppets and automatic defense systems of Silver City, so that the space will be stabilized again?”

　　“Of course, I’m not confident, but I have to try anyway. It’s better than waiting to be killed.”

　　Lu Qingchen smiled. “Even if we can’t restore the order of the City of Silver, we can at least find the mysteries of the makers of the black wall in the core database of the other half of the Fuxis. If we can crack the mysteries of the makers of the black wall and even turn us both into ‘gods’, it will be worthwhile even if the City of Silver is destroyed and everybody dies, won’t it?”

　　“Hehe!”

　　Li Yao sniffed heavily and sneered, “You’ve finally shown your true colors. From the beginning to the end, you didn’t care about the lives of Ding Lingdang and the rest of them at all. You even hoped that everyone would perish together with the ferocious beasts. As long as you could become a ‘god’, you would pay any price. The only reason why you tried to fool me was that you hoped that I would help you retrieve the chestnuts in the fire and escort you to the real body of the other half of the Fuxi!

　　“I assume that you must’ve received a lot of valuable and confidential information when you hacked into the database of the other half of the Fuxi through the crystal cables, didn’t you? If you had found its real body, would you have been so generous as to share the information with me? By then, your soul would’ve been transmitted into the real body of the other half of the Fuxi and melded with the entire City of Silver. Would I have survived?

　　“What an amazing deduction. It is reasonable and convincing.

　　Lu Qingchen’s scheme had been seen through by Li Yao, but he was not embarrassed at all. He was still smiling as he said, “So, what is your decision exactly? Are you going to wait to be killed, or are you going to kill me to vent your anger? After all, I am the meat and you are the butcher. The choice is in your hands.”

　　Li Yao was silent for a long time.

　　The roars of the ferocious beasts around them were getting louder and louder. It seemed that they had been in this place for too long and many of the beasts had smelled the spiritual energy. The beast tide was moving and gathering toward them. Even the earth was shaking because of the trampling of the ferocious beasts.

　　“Alright. Let’s find the other half of the Fuxi!”

　　Li Yao made up his mind.

　　Then, he looked around and scanned the remains of the puppets and the dead bodies of the ferocious beasts.

　　After hundreds of thousands of years of war, debris that looked like mountains of garbage could be found everywhere among the collapsed skyscrapers. Naturally, there were also all kinds of weapons left by the giants.

　　Very soon, Li Yao found his favorite weapon, a meteor hammer.

　　Se

　　It was more than three meters in diameter and even larger than the head of the ‘Arsonist’. However, it was hollow inside and embedded with all kinds of aggressive magical equipment and fuel tanks. The shell, which was full of sharp teeth and hooks, could be heated to thousands of degrees and trigger intense electric arcs. It also boasted a powerful spur that could accelerate the speed of the meteor hammer to more than five times the speed of sound. It was the perfect weapon to deal with the thick-skinned, ferocious beasts or to punch through the reactive plate armor and the strengthened ceramic shield to bombard the user of the spiritual house directly.

　　Steering the ‘Arsonist’, Li Yao moved his iron hands as fast as the wind. With the dexterity of a butcher, he tore open the shell of the hammer and modified its interior beyond recognition. When Lu Qingchen heard that Li Yao had agreed to his suggestion, he was secretly delighted.

　　But when he saw Li Yao’s dazzling modifications, he was greatly confused and had a bad feeling.

　　“What are you doing?” Lu Qingchen was surprised. “Why did you modify a meteor hammer? Are all your magical equipment damaged?”

　　“Don’t be hasty.”

　　Li Yao smiled. “You will know soon.”

　　Li Yao finished modifying the hammer in five minutes.

　　Then, he straightened his back and walked to the ‘rescuer’ who only had one arm left. He scanned the shell and joints of the ‘rescuer’ with his telepathic thoughts maliciously.

　　Li Yao’s eyes gave Lu Qingchen goosebumps. He stammered, “What—what do you want?”

　　His voice came to an abrupt end because of Li Yao’s simple and crude actions.

　　Gloomy flames were ignited on the ‘Arsonist’s’ right arm. Sharp claws and teeth were condensed on his fingertips and pierced into the ‘rescuer’s’ chest, which had been blown to smithereens a moment ago, stirring the broken magical equipment units brutally. In the end, he retrieved a magical equipment unit that looked like a crystal brain from the part of the ordinary Giant God Soldier that should be the ‘spiritual house’. “This must be the mainframe crystal processor of the Savior. Your soul should be hiding inside, right?”

　　Li Yao asked Lu Qingchen.

　　He was asking the obvious.

　　It was because, the moment he took out the crystal brain, Li Yao’s life magnetic field was hundreds of times stronger than before. The bioelectricity generated by the friction of the cells was condensed into dazzling lightning and drilled into the crystal brain, locking onto Lu Qingchen’s soul.

　　Hiss! Hiss! Hiss! Hiss! Hiss!

　　Lu Qingchen’s soul was hissing like a viper that had been skinned. He screamed, “What—what are you doing exactly? The Savior has seven mainframe crystal processors in total. They are placed in various parts of the body. That’s why my soul is so strong. My computational ability and thinking ability will be greatly undermined with only one mainframe crystal processor! Besides, you’ve cut off my spiritual energy supply! Do you want to reach the control center of Silver City or not? Do you want to know the secrets of the maker of the black wall?”

　　“Rest assured. I will connect you to a new energy source immediately.”

　　Li Yao stuffed the mainframe crystal processor that stored Lu Qingchen’s soul into the hammer and connected the spiritual energy transmission tube of the crystal processor to the internal power source of the hammer.

　　During the process, Lu Qingchen’s soul was naturally raging and struggling to get out, only to be suppressed and beaten back by Li Yao’s dominating soul and vitality.

　　CRACK!

　　Li Yao closed the shell of the hammer and locked it, activating all the rune arrays inside the hammer. “The ‘rescuers’ are too large and will be a burden all the way. In order to improve our odds of success, this is the new body that I prepared for you. How does it feel?” “You…”

　　Lu Qingchen’s furious soul waves spread out from the meteor hammer, “What is this? What the f*ck is this? A meteor hammer? You actually stuffed me into a meteor hammer! How much spiritual energy can be stored in this? It’s simply not enough to maintain the high-intensity operation of my mainframe crystal processor. Also, this kind of meteor hammer with a precise structure is way too fragile. After a few swings, its outer shell will completely explode, and my mainframe crystal processor will fly out!”

　　“That’s right. So, my suggestion is for you to let your soul rest more and use less of your precious computational ability to think of schemes. Of course, don’t consume your remaining spiritual energy to drive the hammer to fly around. If your spiritual energy runs out, you will be rolling on the ground like a ball. It will be very embarrassing.”

　　“As for whether or not the structure is solid,” Li Yao said, “please don’t worry about my skills as one of the top refiners in the Pangu Universe. If I can’t-” Before Li Yao was able to finish his sentence, he suddenly raised his hammer and spun hundreds of times in midair. It was not until the hammer accelerated to the maximum speed that he bellowed and smashed at the debris of the ‘savior’. It was not a shooting star but a smashing meteor shower that smashed the debris of the ‘savior’ into scrap. Naturally, Lu Qingchen felt that his head was spinning and his head was dizzy, too. His soul was almost torn apart and vanished into thin air.

　　If he had a body of flesh and blood, he would’ve vomited his heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys.

　　“You-“

　　Lu Qingchen sensed that the ‘rescuer’ and the six crystal processors inside had been blown to smithereens. He felt like crying.

　　“Alright.”

　　Li Yao looked at the ‘masterwork’ that he had created with great satisfaction. He tied the chain of the hammer to his right arm and held ‘Lu Qingchen’s head in his palm. “Now, transmit all the maps that you’ve scanned over the past few days to me. Also, point out the coordinates of the control hub. Then, just stay put. I’ll plan the best route.”

　　Lu Qingchen was absolutely silent.

　　Li Yao sniffed and was about to wave his hammer again.

　　Lu Qingchen finally surrendered. He transmitted a lot of data to the ‘Arsonist’ unwillingly and displayed it on the operation menu.

　　Li Yao was not scared that Lu Qingchen would take the opportunity to corrupt the mainframe crystal processor of the ‘incinerator’ by adding the virus of crystal processors to the data on the map. After all, the strength of their souls was on par with each other. Li Yao was slightly stronger than him, and the carrier of Lu Qingchen’s soul had been seriously weakened by Li Yao. He could only summon one fifth of his strength, which was similar to Li Yao when he was loaded into the ‘Red Pig’.

　　CO.

　　If Li Yao could not resist Lu Qingchen’s corruption under such circumstances, he might as well hang himself and explore the secrets of the primeval era!

　　According to the map transmitted by Lu Qingchen, the control center of Silver City was not far away from them.

　　However, it was blocked by the war zone in the middle. A lot of ferocious beasts and battle puppets were lurking among the skyscrapers and broken walls.

　　If he were to take a detour, the distance would be too far away. Besides, Lu Qingchen had also smeared a lot of messy lines on the map, which represented the twisted space zone.
