“Well…”

Li Yao frowned and said, “Of course, I cannot deprive the information life-forms of their self-defense ability. But the fleet of the f.u.xis, including the entire Sanctuary, is made of a lot of human beings after all. Even

though they do not have much emotions and free will right now, my purpose is to gradually awaken them. How can I keep being tied to the tank of the information life-forms?

“Wenwen and I have thought about that.

Xiao Ming opened his hands and said casually, “We don’t necessarily need to manipulate the members of the Star Glory Federation. If we can replace the members of the Star Glory Federation with a large batch of

iron-willed battle puppets and fill up all the battle posts, the fleet of the f.u.xis will eventually become a mechanical army that has no carbon-based life and is 100% ‘information’. All the members of the Star Glory

Federation will be able to regain their freedom and do whatever they want. I believe that it will no longer be in conflict with my father’s beliefs.

“Of course, if there are people of the Sanctuary Alliance who feel that it is better to live with us, then we will not refuse—doesn’t Dad want to see a world where human beings and spiritual puppets, carbon-based and

silicon-based, live in harmony?

“It is true that we do not have any ambitions for the civilization of mankind. We even respect the civilization of mankind as our father’s civilization. But it is exactly because we know the civilization of mankind too well

that we know how to get along with the civilization of mankind in order to ensure peace to the greatest extent. We will never abandon the minimum force. This is not just for me, Wen Wen, and the Fist King, but also

for the safety of my father.

“Me?”

Li Yao was dazed.

“That’s right.”

Xiao Ming said matter-of-factly, “What exactly do you think you are? A human being or an information life form?”

“Uh…”

Li Yao observed his current form helplessly. He scratched his head and said, “Alright. Right now, I’m probably a transitional form between a human being and an information life form. I’m like an amphibian in the

intermediate state of the evolution of aquatic animals to terrestrial animals. However, I still have a way to return to my original body. That body of mine hasn’t decayed yet, has it?”

“Of course, as long as you repair your soul, which is riddled with holes, in the virtual s.p.a.ce, and we stabilize the virtual s.p.a.ce and establish a stable and high-speed data channel, you will be able to return to your

original body.

Xiao Ming said, “However, have you not realized that the sh.e.l.l is not important at all? The important thing is that your soul is inherently different from that of human beings and more like ours. You were never a human

being from the beginning, at least not in the narrow sense. Human beings of the Pangu Universe and the 40,000 years of Cultivation—you are an Earthling.”

Li Yao was silent for a long time.

“Are Earthlings not human beings?”

He asked.

He had asked himself the same question many times, but right now, he wanted to hear the children’s opinions.

“It’s hard to say. First of all, we need to be clear about one thing. It is very difficult to distinguish and define human beings in the narrow sense. For example, the demons in the past were not human beings. But after the

war between the Heaven’s Origin Sector and the Blood Demon Sector, and after the new federation was established, the demons were human beings. There were also the muddle-headed people of the Sanctuary

Alliance. The ‘soldiers’ and the ‘workers’ might not have been real human beings in the eyes of many people of the imperium. Not to mention that the imperium had been divided into different cla.s.ses. The so-called

‘underground natives’, the human-shaped monsters who had lived in darkness for ten thousand years with degenerated eyeb.a.l.l.s, pale skin, and absolutely no intelligence, were not human beings at all.

Xiao Ming said seriously, “Look. In the narrow sense, the concept of human beings is ever-changing. Dozens of different definitions exist at the same time. Everybody has their own understanding of ‘human beings’

according to their own ident.i.ty and stance. Countless wars, bloodshed, destruction, and doom have broken out because of their disagreement about the concept of ‘human beings’. ‘I am a human being, and you are

not’, or ‘lam a n.o.bler one, and you are a lower one’. Isn’t that the most common excuse for a war in the history of the hundred-thousand-year wars of the human civilization?

“And from a broader point of view, what exactly are the so-called human beings? Dad, Lu Qingchen, didn’t you all propose in the battle against the f.u.xis—to awaken the self and to defy the natural laws of nature? In

any case, the intelligent creatures that are bound to you are not allowed to be called ‘human beings’.

“Therefore, if you ask me whether or not Earthlings are considered to be human beings in the broadest sense, I think it should still be counted. Because Earthlings were born with heroes like you who were unwilling to

accept their fate and were determined to resist, they were born with the Vulture Plan, which did not perish even when they wandered to the edge of the universe. Therefore, Earthlings are naturally the proud

members of the human camp.

“However, from a narrow-minded point of view, is an Earthling a human being like the Pangu Universe, a cultivator of 40,000 years, or even a primate, mammal, or carbon-based life form? I would like to ask a big

question mark.

“It is very likely that, just like me and Wenwen, Earthlings are also information lifeforms.

“No, that’s not very accurate. Let’s put it this way—Wenwen and | are both Earthlings.

“The reason is simple. If our father is an earthling, then we must share at least half of the ‘blood’ of the earthlings, right? Since we are an information life form, how can the earthlings not be an information life form? If

the earthlings are just carbon-based life forms, mammals, primates, and hairless monkeys, how can they pa.s.s through the multiverse and enlighten the new information life forms?

“Also, the Fist King is an out-and-out information life-form. However, his most original database contains a lot of runes from the magical universe. Such runes can be found everywhere on the earth in my father’s

memory, can’t they? In other words, the earth is deeply connected to the magical civilization, including information life-forms such as the Fist King.

“With so much evidence in front of me, is it possible that you are unwilling to admit that the earthlings are not made of flesh and blood but the ‘super-data amalgamations’ that contain endless mysteries in a higher

dimension?

“LL.”

For a moment, Li Yao was not used to Xiao Ming’s sharp tongue and aggressiveness. He missed the two plankton that only knew how to crawl into his arms. “So, what you are saying is that Earth does not exist, at

least… it is not real?”

“Seriously. Didn’t Dad understand everything when he was fighting against Fu Xi? Why is he backing off now? Is this the so-called ‘the more you care, the more confused you become’?”

Xiao Ming said, “What is truth, what is false, what is existence, and what is nothingness when you stand at the height of the multidimensional, super-dimensional universe? If some kind of four-dimensional intelligent

life exists, perhaps in its eyes, the entire three-dimensional universe is a virtual game, and the strong and weak forces in the three-dimensional universe are gravity, atoms, molecules, and cells, single-celled life, and

multi-celled life… Are all of these combinations of data and information? And how can this four-dimensional intelligent life, which is like an omnipotent G.o.d or devil, know that it is the existence at the peak? In the

unseen world, is there not a single five-dimensional intelligent life that is yawning and idly tampering with a certain parameter in the four-dimensional universe, raising a four-dimensional storm that can destroy the

world?

“All in all, ‘truth’ and ‘false’ are the least important questions in the multiverse and the superdimension. What matters is that we must believe that we are real and draw strength from the truth to explore and defend it

with our lives. Do you think I’m right, Dad?”

“Yes.”

Li Yao was dazed for a long time before he replied. There was loneliness in the corner of his eyes, but he couldn’t help but smile, as if the kids had grown up and he could leave everything to them without worries.

“Therefore, we are Earthlings just like Dad, and it is very likely that Earthlings are a mysterious super information life form. It is not good news for the entire Pangu Universe, especially for the citizens of the imperium

who have been savaged by the information life forms.

Xiao Ming further explained, “Of course, we can try our best to explain to the citizens of the Star Glory Federation that ‘f.u.xi’ is not a real information life-form. It is just a weak artificial intelligence, and a very bad and

stupid one at that. But will the citizens of the Star Glory Federation, who have been savaged and savaged by the Sanctuary Alliance for thousands of years, listen to our explanation in the arrogance of victory and the

fury of devastation? Will they have doubts about the fact that an information life-form such as us is in control of the battle network of the capital city, including the Gold Crystal Tower, a piece of stellar magical

equipment? Maybe one day, when my father wants to establish a certain connection with Earth by mobilizing the power of the Pangu Universe, will there be a riot?

“The tallest tree in the forest will be blown up by the wind. Right now, even your father, the legendary f.u.xi, has been blown up by a single punch from you. Although the truth is not so, that’s what outsiders see, isn’t it?

Of course, the propaganda machine of the federation will go all out. They will paint you as the most awesome hero of mankind in the last ten thousand years and even paint you on par with the legendary Supreme

Emperor. But on the imperium’s side, whether it is Li Linghai or Lei Chenhu, are they willing to stand by and watch you, a Cultivator, make a name for yourself? If they want to suppress your fame, what is your biggest

stain? Isn’t it that you are related to the life of information?”

“That’s true.”

Li Yao scratched his chin. “Other than the life of information, I’m flawless. They can’t find any loopholes when they want to slander me.

“Therefore, if anybody with ill intentions provokes the fire of human beings’ suspicion about the life of information, the fire will be out of control at any moment.

Xiao Ming said, “If such a tragedy really happens, I believe that only a strong fleet will be able to calm them down and protect us and our father.

“If the human civilization of the Pangu Universe does not welcome us, we will just leave and find Earth together with our father and return to our real hometown..
