"Well, let's just say he's still a 'patriot'!"
Li Yao made a concession, "But this does not mean that he can refine and twist the best human emotions and use them as evil weapons to create terrifying monsters like 'ghouls'.
In this regard, he is really The supreme master of the Holy Alliance has gone to two extremes, neither of which is good."
"So, if the puppet king is really Lu Qingchen, what are you going to do?"
The bloody inner demon asked, "Can we cooperate to some extent on the premise of 'loving the Federation and putting humanity first'?"
Li Yao thought for a long time.
"It's hard, I think."
He rejected the "looking beautiful" idea of cooperating with Lu Qingchen.
Although there is a certain degree of overlap in each other's ideas, their methods and the bottom line they can break through without scruples are really different.
As far as Lu Qingchen is concerned, his idea is to virtualize all human beings, so that everyone can get rid of the shackles of the body and enter the spiritual network and crystal brain to live.
In the online world, as long as a tiny bit of energy is consumed, everyone can have a colorful and splendid life, and inspire endless emotions and desires - these seven emotions and six desires are the source of the demon's power.
Li Yao couldn't say that Lu Qingchen's ideals were definitely wrong.
For example, Li Yao, who had now gotten rid of the shackles of the physical body and took on the form of some kind of... information life, had indeed gained completely different pleasures and unprecedented awareness.
But again, evolution is not something that happens overnight.
A project as grand as "the spiritual network of all mankind" will take at least tens of thousands of years to slowly test, repeatedly demonstrate, carefully modify, and finally be achieved naturally.
If you want to accomplish all your efforts in one battle and complete ten thousand years of evolution in just a hundred years, you can only encourage the growth of the seedlings and lead to your own destruction.
Haste makes waste, Lu Qingchen may not be unaware of this truth, but his soul was completely hijacked by the demon and fell into the uncontrollable dark side, so much so that he gave up the bottom line of a cultivator and went to work without any psychological burden.
He created the Disillusionment Virus, the Glory Virus, the Gluttony Virus and the Love Virus...
To achieve his goals, he used any means necessary.
Human emotions can be played with at will, and the sacrifices of millions of people have become his stepping stone to a "glorious future".
It was impossible for Li Yao to cooperate with Lu Qingchen.
Li Yao still hasn't forgotten how insidious and terrifying Lu Qingchen was during the Black Wind Fleet's attack on the Star Star Federation, and how many people were directly or indirectly killed by him.
"I can't spare him!"
Li Yao pondered, "However, we can't just watch him fall into the hands of the Supreme Master - he really has too many secrets about the Federation and us.
If these secrets are swallowed up by the Supreme Master, what will happen?
I’m afraid these five pretenders will become even more difficult to deal with!”
"Then let's play it by ear.
At least catch him first."
The bloody heart demon said, "Don't be careless, be careful.
Even though Lu Qingchen is a generation younger than you, this guy is not simple.
He has drawn strength from Star Child, Su Changfa, Professor Mo Xuan, the Demon of the Spirit Network, and you.
It can be said that it 'learns from the best of everyone', and the magical power between Zongheng Lingwang and the human brain may be more powerful than ours combined!"
"This matter is very strange to say."
Li Yao thought for a while and said, "The time it took Lu Qingchen to come to the Holy Alliance will not be much longer than the time we came to the empire, at most two to three years, maybe three to five years, but I feel that his strength is not as good as the time we came to the empire.
There was another rapid growth three to five years ago - at that time, he could only control one team.
The Black Wind Fleet is not yet our opponent of the 'Ultimate Nascent Soul', but now, his power has been able to erode the entire Holy Alliance.
Even the strong men who are comparable to the realm of gods are being played by him, and even Even the Supreme Master, whose power is unfathomable, cannot catch his tail.
"His upgrade speed is too fast, isn't it?"
"What's so strange about this?"
The blood-colored heart demon said, "Didn't you just jump to the center of the star sea and within a few years, you went from a mere Nascent Soul to a god-forming state and rose to the state of distraction?"
"This is different."
Li Yao coughed dryly and said, "Okay, I admit that my Sturm und Drang has a certain amount of luck.
First, I suffered a strong radiation shock in the Scorpion Star Cluster and broke through the threshold of becoming a god; then, the Imperial Queen Li Linghai, Provide me with a steady stream of The precious resources from the emperor's ancient tomb, including treasures such as the 'Emperor Flame Pearl', were used for my cultivation; finally, part of the soul of the great hero of the generation, the Black Star Emperor Wu Yingqi, became an inheritance and was given to me as a gift, and also gave me the 'Golden Crystal' Ta' is such a unique training room.
"With so many coincidences, the blessings of heavenly materials, earthly treasures and cave heaven paradise, it can be said that half of the empire is helping me practice, and I can upgrade so quickly.
"And upgrading so quickly does not come without side effects.

You see, my usual words and deeds are becoming more and more innocent and naive, and I have returned to my original nature - I don't want to!
"On the other hand, after Lu Qingchen was beaten half to death by us and his soul was seriously injured, he fled to the Holy Alliance in a hurry with a few strands of his soul alone.
It was impossible to get any help.
"But while he organized the 'Shenxinhui' to deal with the entire Holy Alliance, he also practiced crazily, and his strength soared faster than us?
Don't you think this is too exaggerated?"
"You can't see others being nice."
The blood-colored heart demon said, "Can't he be a talented, intelligent, rare cultivation genius, the true destiny of the billions of fortunes in the entire Pangu universe?
His cultivation speed is a little faster than you, a cosmic virus. , it’s normal!”
"...No, how can there be monsters in the Pangu Universe that can cultivate faster than me?
First it was Li Jialing, then Lu Qingchen, how can the current juniors be so lawless?"
Li Yao said, "If Lu Qingchen was really that powerful, he wouldn't have been massacred by us when he was in the Federation!
Compared to what you are talking about, a rare cultivation genius and a destined emperor with the help of thousands of lucks.
"I would rather believe that his remnant soul had another adventure while wandering among the stars, and received help from some kind of power, perhaps the inheritance of a powerful predecessor."
"There's a problem."
The bloody heart demon said, "Think about it, the most powerful forces in the center of the star sea are the Holy Alliance and the Empire.
You know the situation of the Empire very well, and Lu Qingchen has a clear intention to destroy the Holy Alliance.
How could he appear again?"
A third force came to help Lu Qingchen?
Did this so-called 'senior powerful' fall from the sky?"
Li Yao couldn't figure this out for a while.
However, while the Bloody Heart Demon was ridiculing him, he had to admit that Lu Qingchen's upgrade was indeed very suspicious - Li Yao and the Bloody Heart Demon knew how much he weighed in the past, and there was no reason for them not to see each other in just a few years. , so much stronger!
Therefore, there should be something hidden behind Lu Qingchen.
Perhaps, by figuring out the reason for Lu Qingchen's sudden strength, a series of mysteries will be solved.
"Let's turn our attention back to this guy, the guy who was talking to Gao Huan."
The bloody heart demon said, "It is now very clear that this guy is probably not Lu Qingchen, but at least he is a puppet or minion controlled by Lu Qingchen remotely."
"That's right."
Li Yao agreed, "Is there a way to see his face clearly, or perform a voiceprint analysis on his voice?"
"It's hard."
The bloody heart demon said, "Lu Qingchen has erased most of his remaining traces in the spiritual network.
Being able to restore these fragmented data is our limit.
It is impossible to see this person's face.
"As for the voice, I believe that the voice he used must have been changed and disguised.
He may even have deliberately simulated someone else's speech to mislead the direction of the investigation.
Therefore, there is no need to waste too much computing power on this."
"That's true."
Li Yao said, "Isn't there any way to lock down this guy's identity?"
"That's not necessarily the case."
The bloody heart demon said, "We can think about it differently.
People like Gao Huan who have been brainwashed for three times but have not been able to completely erase their memories and themselves must be very rare.
A large amount of data will remain in the system, and it will cause trouble among the staff and high-level priests."
Attention, right?”
Li Yao said: "Yes."
"Then, a staff member or high-ranking priest will check on him and personally 'purify' him."
The blood-colored heart demon said, "As for other idlers, there shouldn't be much chance of getting close to him, right?"
Li Yao's eyes lit up: "You mean, the person talking to Gao Huan is a staff member or a high-ranking priest?"

"Of course, another piece of evidence is that we did not find any information about 'Gao Huan' in the system.
You know, he has not succumbed to brainwashing three times.
How come there is no record?"
The bloody heart demon said, "Gao Huan's records must have been erased, and there cannot be too many people who have the authority to erase records."
"In this way, the scope of the investigation is reduced to an extremely small size."
Li Yao said, "But there seem to be as many as seven high-ranking priests alone.
Plus other staff, there are always twenty or thirty.
How should we confirm one of them?"
"Here is the approximate time of communication between this person and Gao Huan."
The Scarlet Heart Demon said, "Although we cannot directly know his identity, we can determine the list of all high-ranking priests and staff who were working at the same time.
Then, we will search the surveillance videos to see what these people are doing.
——If they are not Lu Qingchen's puppets, they must be doing other things at this time, and they will be caught by the surveillance camera.
"If someone is supposed to be on duty but he can't be found on all the surveillance videos, what does that mean?"
"It means all the videos about him have been deleted and shredded!"
Li Yao's soul flickered suddenly, "It means he is Lu Qingchen's puppet!"
