Chapter 1206: Chapter 926: 1.8 Million Echoes_2

"Don’t be afraid, don’t be afraid," Xu Cheng understood where she had been taken after hearing the explanation.

But with Dad around, everything would be okay. She hugged her dad, then turned to look at Laila.

Laila initially wanted to ask about her biological parents, but turning her head, she saw the great Farosa standing nearby and suddenly couldn’t utter a word, simply appearing somber and noble.

Destiny, please let me be Farosa’s daughter, not a baby picked up from a garbage dump... Laila silently prayed.

"Are the Yousu people the masterminds behind the invasion?" Laila took a deep breath and asked.

"The alien disasters brought by the Heavenly Tribulation were mostly made possible by these Yousu people," Xu Yang said, "However, the Yousu people may not be the true masterminds; they also are a subjugated and driven servant race. They once had their own advanced civilization, but now, they’ve become some sort of vanguard, assisting the Galaxy’s Envoy in conquest."

"What’s this?" Xu Cheng pointed at the creature in the container.

"What you see is a Yousu entity captured by the Lighthouse Core long before the Heavenly Tribulation; they learned a lot from the Yousu people. No wonder their technology is far more advanced than others." Xu Yang explained.

"Wow." Xu Cheng’s courage grew.

She pressed her face against the transparent wall of the glass containment device, carefully observing the Yousu entity.

Its cilia trembled in the purple solution, then quickly struck the barrier, scaring Xu Cheng into jumping back. _{free\we\bnov(e)(l).com}

"Whoa, it’s alive!" Xu Cheng pointed out.

"It’s alive but very complex. The scientists at the Lighthouse Core learned a lot from this Yousu person, whose request was: to let him go." Xu Yang examined the Yousu person in front of him.

The Yousu people once, like the Witch race and the Star Deity, roamed the cosmos.

Within them may lie the secrets to ultimately defeating the Galaxy’s Envoy.

"...Isn’t it still here?" Laila asked, "Does it mean the people at the Lighthouse Core broke their word?"

"Both yes and no," Xu Yang turned to Laila and said, "The Yousu people taught the Lighthouse Core how to convert the brain’s nerve signals into photoelectric signals, effectively scanning and uploading everything in a human brain to become electronic code and disk programs. You could say the Yousu people inspired the Digital Mind and all consciousness-uploading technology. And this Yousu person’s final project was to scan, upload its own consciousness, and then travel to another world!"

"Travel to another world?" Laila couldn’t understand.

"Through dimensions!" Xu Cheng was a bit excited, "Isn’t it like being hit by a truck, going on an adventure, or touching an electric panel?"

"A bit different. The Yousu people’s intelligence and mental capabilities are strong, or rather, far beyond what we humans can comprehend. In short—this Yousu person exchanged its ’thoughts’ with another world, seduced a certain intelligent creature there, and who knows what terms it proposed; in essence, exchanged their minds. This way, it can take its intelligence and mental energy to the New World, while the unfortunate creature from the other world was transferred here." Xu Yang explained.

He tapped on the glass container.

The Yousu person inside maintained a certain silence and stasis, like a specimen.

"He should be able to move, but it’s clear he cannot harness the strange body of the Yousu, or adapt to its complex brain. Perhaps in other worlds, Yousu people would be called ’demons’ or ’devils,’ offering mortals invites and deals, and if mortals sign their name, they are transferred to the ugly shell of the Yousu, while the Yousu leisurely swaps into a free body, continuing to infiltrate and influence other worlds; truly a bizarre race." Farosa murmured.

"Indeed... an advanced civilization that once occupied countless galaxies and summoned the Galaxy’s Envoy..." Xu Yang said.

"It’s like transferring one’s brain into an insect, and the poor insect’s wisdom is transferred to a human, hence unable to control a human’s limbs since humans are too complex for an insect," Laila said.

"You’re spot on." Farosa agreed, "You truly are my daughter."

Laila nodded in satisfaction and then asked another question.

"But for humans, having their brain transferred into an insect is also quite lamentable, isn’t it? So much wisdom, so much knowledge, unable to be used by the insect’s body." Laila said.

"Yes, so, why would this Yousu person with all its might strive to survive in another ’world’? Each world has its own universe; what is it fleeing this universe for?" Farosa gazed at Laila.

"..." Laila took a deep breath, "To... escape from the Galaxy’s Envoy."

"The Yousu people’s technology lets them escape, while we stay here facing the threats of the Galaxy, with nowhere to flee, only to face it. Today’s lessons are enough. You should go rest." Xu Yang set Xu Cheng down.

"What’s that?" Xu Cheng saw at the end of the glass apparatus a complex terminal, but it was already black-screened, connected to tens of thousands of cables.

"That... is a useless thing; we’ll dismantle it later." Xu Yang said, "Go rest quickly."

"See you tomorrow." Laila nodded to Farosa and Xu Yang, "Mom, Dad, goodbye!"

"Goodbye, Dad!" Xu Cheng also ran off.

After the children left, Xu Yang and Farosa exchanged glances and nodded.

"Our planet was invaded by about 1200 Yousu people; they personally created those mist monsters and collected large numbers of living humans as samples, slaves, focusing our technology. What exactly do they intend to do?" Farosa pondered.

"We need to find a way to defeat these Yousu people who have parasitized our world. Yousu civilization can significantly help us understand the true nature of the starry sky... their consciousness is vast and boundless. If our minds are a sheet of paper, their consciousness is an entire library." Xu Yang lamented.

"...Let’s go, the Lighthouse Core is used to manipulate and calculate everything about Yousu technology; we can’t use it." Farosa said casually.

With a heavy heart, she and Xu Yang left through the secret passage toward the "Grand Dome" beside the research institute.

Ascending the steps, Farosa, weary and struggling, looked up and gazed at the dense, boundless Witch Brain Matrix surrounding her.

This is the largest "black wall" in history.

The terrifying remnants of structural witch slaughter, extending massive tanks on every wall from all directions, with a living brain floating inside each tank.

Without the protection of hair or skull, every wrinkle and crevasse laid bare. Thick semi-transparent liquid filled each tank, countless electrodes and wires permeated every corner of the spherical brains; nothing is more terrifying in shackles. Their minds were weakened, deprived, reduced to mere data processing tools.

Starting with the company here, 1.8 million witch brains were harvested live, forming the Lighthouse Core’s black wall terminal, providing tremendous computing power.

In New Taixi State, witches were born, and less than a year old, their eyes and ears were extracted, making them "adapt" to having no light and sound, and then their brains were carved out to become part of the computing unit. Never blessed... blessed to live...

This will end.

"I’ll save you all... right now..." Farosa raised her hand in sorrow.

They once cried out in unison for Farosa’s salvation, and now she has arrived.

"...I’ll rescue 1.8 million witches; let this great cause achieve my path to become the true Witch Goddess! Please, everyone." Farosa glanced around, closed her eyes, hearing their prayers and chants. Countless burning candles, countless shapeless teardrops, countless hollow echoes.

Lady Farosa...

Please...

Deliver us...

Please...

The gray sharpness of the Law of Slaughter gathered in Farosa’s hand.

Goodbye, all the torment.
