The letter ended there.

The last thing she left for Li Yao was a sweet and determined smile.

Li Yao’s blood was boiling when he read the letter. He couldn’t wait to see a new future where human beings and information creatures lived in harmony.

After all, the world was not something that could be saved or controlled by him alone. Xiao Ming, Wen Wen, and everyone else had their own beliefs and fought for them. Such a world should be splendid enough.

Li Yao’s heart was in turmoil for a long time before he gradually came back to himself and thought of a critical, if not life-threatening, problem.

“Xiao Ming, let me ask you.”

Li Yao frowned and asked solemnly, “What’s with your appearance, especially your culture?”

“This is the virtual image that we are going to show to the public. Since we are going to negotiate with the federation and the imperium on behalf of the entire Holy Alliance and even the information life-forms in the

future, we can’t always show ourselves as seven-year-olds, can we? It will be a sign that we are being underestimated.

Xiao Ming looked at himself. “At the very least, I should create the appearance of a teenage boy and a teenage girl and appear on various terminals through the Spiritual Nexus. I should look a little more formal so that I

can carry out advertising and brand attacks… Is there a problem?”

“There’s nothing wrong with you, but why do you have to look like… that?”

Li Yao scratched his virtual head hard. “Her virtual image can be created at will, can’t it? Don’t you think that she looks like somebody?”

“Wei Qingqing?”

Xiao Ming said.

“Exactly!”

Li Yao slapped his thigh. “So, it’s not a coincidence. She molded it according to Wei Qingqing’s template on purpose? Why is that necessary?”

“Yes!”

Xiao Ming nodded his head matter-of-factly. “Since we are your children, of course, we want to preserve some of your features, or even some of your soul brand, when we are creating the virtual image.

“My appearance is that of a human male, so it’s more convenient. As long as it is shaped according to your teenage years, it will be fine. But Wen Wen’s appearance is that of a human female, so it seems that I can’t use

your image directly. Wen Wen doesn’t care about herself, but the vast majority of human beings are very shallow. They like to judge a book by its cover. A girl who looks a lot like you is really not popular with the public.

“Aunt Wei Qingqing is one of the most important women in your life. She left a deep impression on your soul and even directly shaped your original belief. It is very reasonable for Wenwen to use Aunt Wei Qingqing’s

appearance as a template to create her own virtual image!

“Besides, Aunt Wei Qingqing is so beautiful. Her cultured and refined image is welcomed by many people. What’s wrong with that? Why does Father look so anxious, as if a great catastrophe is coming?”

“This, this, this!”

Li Yao felt gooseb.u.mps all over his body. “You can eat whatever you want, but you can’t say whatever you want! It’s true that Wei Qingqing is one of the most important people in my life, but the ‘most important person

in my life’ and the ‘most important woman in my life’ are two completely different concepts. There’s a huge difference! Let me ask you. Let me ask you. Why don’t you use Ding Lingdang’s image as a template? Ding

Lingdang is the most important woman in my life. She’s at least your mother in name, and she’s also very beautiful!”

“Well”

Xiao Ming opened his hands and said frankly, “Ding Lingdang is not as pretty as Wei Qingqing.”

“Hiss—”

Li Yao seemed to be watching a tyrannosaur opening its b.l.o.o.d.y mouth right in front of his face, with blood and minced meat embedded between its sharp teeth. He had never been so nervous even when he was faced

with Wu Yinggqi, f.u.xi, or Lu Qingchen’s strongest attack. He shouted, “What—what are you talking about? Nonsense! It’s utter nonsense! How can my wife be less beautiful than Sister Qingqing? My wife is clearly the

most beautiful woman in the entire ancient universe! Oh, you are super artificial intelligence after all. You are the legendary life of information. Don’t be so childis.h.!.+ Somebody might die!”

“It is true. Although there is no precise definition or measurement of ‘beautiful’, human beings will still have different psychological reactions to different faces. As the saying goes, ‘appearances come from the heart’.

On the other hand, the first impression is very important for the information life to be integrated into human society.

Xiao Ming explained, “Wenwen and I went through a lot of trouble to think about it. We even gathered a lot of data to calculate what kind of image we should reveal to the public so that it would be easier to win the

favor of all mankind. Of course, we also considered Ding Lingdang’s image seriously, and it was the first option.

“But there are two main problems.

“First of all, it’s not that Ding Lingdang is not beautiful. It’s just that she has a pa.s.sionate, fiery, and aggressive look. Her beauty is like burning flames, or even spurting magma. It’s too aggressive. Not everyone can stand

it.

“Only an unparalleled expert like you can compete with her and appreciate her beauty. But for most people, she has too much personality, too much sharpness, and too much ‘ferociousness’. Do you understand what I

mean, Dad? If you don’t, let me give you another example. Ding Lingdang is like a durian. Those who like her call her the king of fruits, but those who don’t—”

“Enough. Shut up. I understand. I really do. What durian? Don’t say it again!”

Holding his chest in pain, Li Yao gnashed his teeth.

“Besides, her performance in the previous phase of the war was too shocking, too brilliant, and too tough. As the Speaker of Parliament, she marched to the center of the sea of stars all by herself and reached the

frontline as soon as possible. Her declaration that ‘Ding Lingdang, Speaker of Parliament, is here’ was so shocking that all the Immortal Cultivators were dumbfounded and shocked. She left an indelible impression on

the citizens of the imperium, too. The name ‘Red Fire Dragon King’ has become a household name and a fierce legend.

Xiao Ming said, “If Wenwen uses Ding Lingdang as a template to create her own image, it will inevitably give others the impression that she is a ‘small-sized Ding Lingdang’. Our purpose is to live in peace with human

beings, to express our kindness to the greatest extent, to show our harmless side. However, how can a small-sized Ding Lingdang be harmless?”

“Uh…”

Li Yao thought for a long time, but he could not figure out what a ‘harmless Ding Lingdang’ looked like.

Although she was his wife, he could not go against his conscience and say that Ding Lingdang looked very suitable to be a ‘peace envoy’.

“There’s another important point. Right now, the federation, the imperium, and the Holy Alliance are having a three-way meeting. There are a lot of contradictions and suspicions among the three parties. We need to

shatter the chain of suspicion between us to the greatest extent.

Xiao Ming further explained, “Think about it, Dad. If Ding Lingdang is the representative of the federation during the meeting, and a girl who looks like Ding Lingdang is the representative of the Holy Alliance, what will

the representatives of the imperium think when it is obvious that she is very close to the representatives of the federation? Yes, the federation is cooperating with the Holy Alliance to restrict the imperium, but it

cannot be so obvious on the surface. Otherwise, it will be difficult for our uncle emperor to suppress the discontented Immortal Cultivators below him, won’t it?

“Alright.”

Li Yao had to admit, “You guys are very thorough and reasonable. A large Ding Lingdang and a small Ding Lingdang sitting together is indeed quite awkward.”

“Therefore, Aunt Wei Qingging is the best choice.”

Xiao Ming said, “Firstly, she is the most important woman in the deepest part of your father’s soul. No. She is the most important person. Secondly, she does not look aggressive or aggressive at all. Instead, there is

determination in her weakness. She is like a pure and innocent flower that is the easiest to win other people’s favor and ease their wariness. Thirdly, if she shows up in such an appearance, the people of the imperium

will not have any unnecessary misunderstandings. Look, we’ve considered everything. There is absolutely no problem, Dad!”

“Hehe. You’ve considered everything…”

Li Yao said miserably, “So, you’ve met Ding Lingdang?”

“Of course. It’s a three-way meeting. How can I miss it? Rest a.s.sured, Dad. We are getting along very well.”

Xiao Ming said, “Although she is just our mother in name, and her performance on the battlefield could almost be called ‘aggressive’, we’ve discovered that she is a kind, visionary, and futuristic woman after we get to

know each other. Other than her curiosity about our life form, we don’t feel that she is biased or discriminating against us at all. It is evident that, as long as it is beneficial for the civilization of mankind, she will try her

best to overcome her inherent thinking and break into a whole new level and territory. No wonder she can be our father’s wife and the Speaker of Parliament.

“That’s right. Outsiders often only see her incomparably tyrannical combat strength. They think that all her cultivation is in her pair of fists… If that’s the case, then it’s simply impossible for her to become the leader of

the ‘Patriot Front’ in the past. She is indeed kind-hearted and tolerant. She is good at listening to other people’s explanations. She absolutely won’t randomly get angry. Moreover, she adores her husband.”

Li Yao paused for a moment and said, “Speaking of which, did she say anything when she saw Wenwen?”

“I don’t think so.”

Xiao Ming thought carefully for a moment and said, “Oh, right. When she saw Wenwen’s virtual image for the first time, she was a little surprised. Then, she looked at Wenwen from head to toe for a long time. Finally,

she smiled and said ‘she really looks like me’.

“Then, then what?”

Li Yao’s eyes bulged, and his voice was shaking. “Then what?”

“Then there was nothing. Then we got down to business!”

Xiao Ming said.

“No, she only said the word ‘real’? So she discovered that Wenwen really looks like Wei Qingqing? She—she didn’t say anything else? She just smiled… How did she smile? Describe it to me. Show me!”

Li Yao scratched his head in anxiety.

“A very ordinary smile. A peaceful smile. A vague smile. How else can I describe it? No. Dad, is there a problem? Why do I feel that your soul structure is very unstable? Is it because of the data of the f.u.xi Clan?

“… It’s alright. I’m alright. I’m fine. It’s just that you didn’t explain it to Ding Lingdang at the time. Why did Wen Wen use Wei Qingqing as a template to create her own virtual image? Why did you explain the first,

second, and third considerations clearly to her?”

Li Yao asked unwillingly.

“No. She didn’t ask. Other than the ‘real’ thing in the beginning, we haven’t talked about it. After all, we have a lot of national affairs to discuss. We don’t have the time to talk about such trivial things.”

Xiao Ming said, “After the three-party meeting, she specifically asked my father when he would wake up. She also asked whether or not she could move my father’s hibernation chamber to the flags.h.i.+p of the

Federation’s expedition army. She also asked what kind of treatment the Federation could provide. In this way, once my father’s soul returned to his body, he would be able to wake up directly in front of her eyes. She

said that she really couldn’t wait to see my father. She had a lot of things to talk about with my father. It would take three days and three nights!”.
