Forty Millenniums of Cultivation Chapter 2660

Chapter 2662 - Default Setting

Li Yao took a deep, deep breath and recalled the miserable Nepenthe believers deep below the ground.

Perhaps Long Yangjun was correct. The Covenant Alliance was not created by the Pangu Clan, but by human beings themselves.

“How could you have discovered the man-manufacturing factory or the Channeling Temple on your own?”

Li Yao asked in a cold voice, “Did the local warlords not realize your scheme?”

“Wrong. They noticed my scheme very early. Or rather, I volunteered to tell them part of my scheme.”

With a mysterious and creepy smile on his face, Wuying Qi 3.0 said casually, “Don’t you see? Thousands of years of warfare had twisted the minds of the local experts at the border of the cosmos. They called themselves Cultivators, but they were nothing like you. They were just bugs under the skin of Cultivators.

“Those bugs had been fighting each other so brutally that they were essentially crazy devils. They craved new weapons and new resources and would pay any price to kill their sworn enemies.

“Who would refuse it if I told them that there was a way to manufacture incessant super slaves and super warriors?

“I hid my strength that came from the Blood God and pretended to be a harmless archaeologist. I ‘accidentally’ discovered the remains of some Channeling Temples and man-manufacturing factories, and a local warlord ‘accidentally’ learned it. That idiot was tricked and threatened me to create an invincible army for him so that he could swallow the dozens of Sectors nearby.

“Of course, he also provided tremendous resources for me so that I could study further and repair the Channeling Temples and man-manufacturing factories.

“After a lot of setbacks and hard work, I repaired a man-manufacturing factor and the correspondent Channeling Temple several years later. Actually, the man-manufacturing factory was not important, because human beings had great reproductive capabilities themselves. It was too costly and time-consuming to develop new humans with the man-manufacturing factory. So, the better choice was to capture the ordinary people, wipe out their feelings, and control their souls in the Channeling Temples. Although the quality of the slaves and soldiers created in such a way was not guaranteed, their quantity was huge and their cost was low. It is still the regular way for the Covenant Alliance to create new blood even to this day.

“The warlord received a batch of slaves who were emotionless, uncomplaining, and would die before they stopped working, as well as an iron-blooded army who was fearless and relentless and would sacrifice themselves to accomplish a mission. So, he grew much more powerful and swallowed multiple Sectors.

“But good days did not last long. When he secured consecutive victories, his enemies discovered their own Channeling Temples and modified their subjects into emotionless, absolutely loyal slaves and soldiers with the same technology. You should be smart enough to know that it was me who secretly leaked the technology and even guided other warlords to building their own Channeling Temples under different identities.”

“Got it. The slaves and soldiers brainwashed by the Channeling Temple were loyal to the local warlords on the surface, but there were some fundamental instructions deep inside their genes and souls that, once activated, would shift their loyalty to you!”

Li Yao said coldly, “It’s a pity that your plan went wrong in the end. You thought that you could manipulate all the warlords, but you accidentally triggered the most original function of the Channeling Temples, making the brainwashed people pledge their loyalty to the Pangu Clan!”

“You’re not wrong at all, but the question was not about the warlords, because I could easily deal with those idiots with 10% of my computational ability.”

Wuying Qi 3.0 said, “The problem was about the Blood God. It was the conflict between me and the Blood God that got things out of control.”

“The conflict between you and the Blood God?”

Li Yao found it surprising. “What was the conflict between you and the Blood God that made you kill him in the end?”

“It was all the fault of the evil, weak, vile, childish, and hilarious Wuying Qi 2.0.”

Wuying Qi 3.0 mumbled, “You should know that, despite everything I had been through, I was essentially a weak, mortal man who was fascinated by the worldly entertainments.

“The Supreme Emperor and the Blood God might hold different beliefs, but they both considered for the civilization of mankind and the ultimate mysteries of the universe beyond. They pursued the answers to the questions that might not carry any answer at all.

“Those questions and those pursuits were incomprehensible for Wuying Qi 2.0 at that time.

“For Wuying Qi 2.0, the Blood God’s goal was hilarious. Even if the multiverse did exist, it was still perilous to climb across the black wall. Besides, who knew what was lying in the universe beyond the wall? There were too many uncertainties. It was too far-fetched!

“Even if the Blood God was right that mankind would be starved in this tiny universe as the Pangu Clan, the Nuwa Clan, and many other primordial civilizations did sooner or later, it would take at least hundreds of thousands of years before it became reality. Then, why should a weakling like Wuying Qi 2.0 worry for the people hundreds of thousands of years later?

“If Wuying Qi 2.0 mastered an invincible army through the Blood God’s method, he would have many better things to do. He could seek his revenge, he could thud upon the Cultivators and the ordinary people, he could dominate this tiny universe, he could change everyone with his ideas, and he and his offspring could reign over this universe for at least ten thousand years!

“He had so many things to do. Why would he climb the black wall, search for the multiverse, and likely perish in space storms without leaving a single cell behind together with the crazy Blood God like an idiot?

“The future of mankind was not as important as his present. Wuying Qi 2.0 believed in that. So, after he realized the power at his disposal, he betrayed the Blood God without any hesitation.

“Supposedly, he should make the people who were being brainwashed in the Channeling Temples obey the Blood God’s command and gain ambitions to explore the grand universe.

“However, he tampered with the Blood God’s command and changed the target of their loyalty to himself. He intended to eradicate the brainwashed people’s loyalty, reverence, and obedience to the Blood God.

“However, his command and the Blood God’s had a serious conflict in the souls of the brainwashed. As a result, the minds of most of the brainwashed people were reset… As a refiner, you should know that a lot of magic equipment has default settings and that if things go wrong, the user can restore the default settings by pressing a button easily, right?

“The brainwashed people were the same. Because of the serious conflict between Wuying Qi 2.0’s command and the Blood God’s, which led to chaos on the genetic and soul level, another command that was at the bottom of their genes was activated. Their ‘default settings’ which were about the absolute loyalty to the Pangu Clan were restored.

“Eventually, things went out of control. The guys whose default settings were restored did not obey local warlords, Wuying Qi 2.0, or the Blood God. They acted on their own and controlled the man-manufacturing factories and the Channeling Temples in a mysterious pattern hundreds of thousands of years ago. Like viruses, they spread out their people and tried to resurrect the Pangu Clan.

“The local warlords could not resist those human-shaped puppets at all. I did not know how to stop the absurdities either.

“Thankfully, I had collected enough experiment data and gained a deeper understanding of the improvement of the inculcation technology. So, I simply left…”

“You simply left after causing such a huge disaster?”

Li Yao found it hard to believe. “You are truly an irresponsible jacka*s!”

“Yes, Wuying Qi 2.0 was indeed an out-and-out jacka*s, but in his defense…”

Wuying Qi 3.0 said, “We did not know the power of the Channeling Temples as well as we do today. Nobody could foresee how much longer the chaos would last. Since it was in a destitute place at the border of the cosmos, those human-shaped puppets that did not have a lot of resources might die out soon.

“With that in mind, Wuying Qi 2.0 finally returned to the Star Ocean Republic with the experiment data and the wealth he looted from the warlords. In the following decades, he built up his influence in the Star Ocean Republic.

“But thanks to the previous lesson, he dare not touch the Channeling Temples again, which was too dangerous and might get himself killed.

“He lived in peace for many years in the Star Ocean Republic, until the news that the Alliance of the Holy Covenant spread out. He was greatly shocked.

“However, on second thought, he realized that the arrival of the Covenant Alliance also created the best opportunity for him to assume the supreme power of the sea of stars!”

“Even if this universe is truly nothing more than a brutal bloody shadowy forest, we Cultivators will burn all that we have just to give off a single weak flickering spark in the darkness! No matter how weak each spark is, how short-lived, how small… As long as the sparks flow unabated, then one day one of those sparks will light some tinder, and that tinder shall light some fallen branches, and those branches shall set ablaze each and every last tree of the forest! In the end, even the smallest sparks will eventually set the shadowy forest ablaze, and illuminate the whole world!” In a world teeming with cultivators, Li Yao, who makes his living collecting scrap metal, encounters the soul of a titan powerhouse from forty thousand years in the past.
