Him and their stars.

Chapter 2070 Little Gray: I'm curious, can it be sliced?

Come to think of it, I just got a lecture, didn't I?

This is so disheartening!
This is absolutely humiliating from every angle, on a multiverse level!

If Feifei finds out, she'll laugh at me until she's in her coffin... Well, Feifei is a good girl, she won't laugh at me in front of outsiders. At most, she'll use this as an excuse to gain some advantage in our future family life.

But if Little Gray sees it, wouldn't it be publicly executed?

On the other hand, is Little Grey really here? She's so all-powerful, she shouldn't be able to figure out something as simple as this.

Yu Lian hesitated briefly, cautiously observing his surroundings, and then felt like a fool.

Fortunately, the woman opposite me, though smiling, was full of compassion and tolerance, which brought me a sense of relief.

Thus, the slight annoyance that had troubled him for quite some time was instantly shattered by this absurd, surreal urge to make sarcastic remarks. He responded with a wry smile, then bowed and said, "I humbly accept your instruction."

At this point, something solid quietly returned to my heart.

He once again felt the condensation of spirit and soul, and once again felt that he was terrifyingly strong.

So what if he's an emperor? I can still beat him up, beat him to death!

"The lawbreaker told me that the emperor was severely injured and is now just a wisp of his soul drifting about. Perhaps he is in a similar state to us now," Yu Lian said.

The other party smiled but remained silent.

"He also told me that this was a rumor that the future Duke gave him." Yu Lian looked up at the other person and couldn't help but smile. "Okay, I understand. You don't really need to answer such a trivial question."

The divine being, whose identity, race, appearance, and existence remain unknown, simply waved to Yu Lian from behind the light screen.

Her figure began to fade, and her pure smile gradually melted into the starlight.

Throughout, she made no demands, leaving the choice entirely to herself. Therefore, even at this point, Yu Lian still couldn't definitively conclude whether the other party was indeed the so-called "future husband."

However, none of that seems to matter anymore. It's as if the goddess is instructing me from the beginning; none of this matters.

Yu Lian didn't open or close his eyes; he simply watched her leave. Immediately afterward, the scenery of that solitary little world flooded into his field of vision.

He looked at his palm; the ball of light that had previously been filled with deadly allure and would have been the source of all evil in most stories had long since vanished.

It had already merged into his sea of ​​consciousness, transforming into new power.

The spiritual storm transformed into a gentle breeze, constantly nourishing its cells, yet it could, at any moment, unleash a devastating spiritual fire. Meanwhile, the dragon of imagination continued to lurk joyfully within its bloodline, constructing an even more stable spiritual direction.

They are quieter than ever before, yet more powerful.

More importantly, Yu Lian knew he now had more guards, and it seemed he had finally touched the edge of that ultimate mystery—Who am I? Where did I come from, and where am I going? Who did I kill, and who killed me? Where did my spirit originate?

The lawbreaker and the lady held their breath, sensing that Yu Lian before them seemed to have undergone a fundamental transformation.

However, after Yu Lian gave them a smile, he seemed to be the same person he was before.

The two remained silent for a long while before the "Lawbreaker" cautiously asked, "Have you seen the true face of the Lord? Has He issued a decree?"

Speaking of which, this representative of the "future duke" has been in office for quite some time, but the two of them should never have met. Thinking of this, Yu Lian couldn't help but feel considerable sympathy for this Fafullong man.

"He only guides and teaches." Out of basic politeness, Yu Lian also decided to call him "He," which was of course to make this poor dragonman feel basic respect.

“He always leads us to the truth.” The Fafullong man was deeply moved.

Is the so-called "truth" just a secret society like terrorist organizations that can't see the light of day? Yu Lian felt that this was somewhat disrespectful to the goddess sister, so she held back and didn't say anything.

Yu Lian looked at the devout spirit and then smiled, "Mr. Spellbreaker, the Empire destroyed the Faful Dragonkin. So, as the last Dragonkin, are you hating the Void Crown?"

A hint of bewilderment and nostalgia flickered in his eyes, but it ultimately turned into a bitter shake of his head: "Whether a soul separated from its body is still the same person is truly hard to say. General, I can hardly consider myself a descendant of the Fafullong people anymore. Once I enter the 'Creation Coffin' and take on a new body, I will have long since become a different person."

This Noble Phantasm, which I've never heard of before, is probably the source of power that provides a new body for the Spellbreaker.

Well, if our loved ones and friends could start researching it, it might just be mass-produced.

"I'm so sorry, I destroyed two of your bodies." Yu Lian's gaze swept over the "corpse" that he had turned into a paper doll.

He had already realized that although the body could move, it was clearly just a soulless shell. As for the pile of fragments blasted flat, they were nothing more than a mass of decomposed carbohydrates.

“You’re too kind. But for monsters like us, the destruction of our bodies is merely the beginning of another chapter. One of my two bodies was to serve the young lady in the past. Now, it’s time for a change of appearance.” He looked at Yu Lian, his eyes still bright, even showing a sincere gratitude: “As for the other one, it was to prove some ideas. Oh, I must thank you for helping me complete the experiment.”

"Oh? An experiment?"

"Yes, if multiple bodies are activated simultaneously, and I were to instantly transfer my spirit body when attacked, would it cause any damage? I have experienced several bouts of pain, and my soul was torn apart. If I do not cultivate diligently, my strength might actually decline. But the facts have proven that this idea has the potential to be realized, and we have no regrets."

Yu Lian hissed. He felt that although these lunatics were crazy and had warped values, they were actually quite willing to sacrifice themselves when it came to exploring these taboo boundaries.

Perhaps it's because each of them has a strong tendency towards self-destruction.

Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many crazy and eccentric actions.

"You just broke free from my 'gravity' binding force, which is also a manifestation of the technique I just used, isn't it?"

"These are all trivial tricks. I have received the teachings and guidance of the future Lord, and I have done my utmost to ensure the unity of my soul, to allow me to remember my past and my personality. That is already my utmost effort. However, the Faful Dragon race has indeed perished. There are always races in the universe that have created brilliant civilizations that have perished; we are never the exception." The Lawbreaker sighed heavily, but then his tone changed, revealing a hint of fanaticism: "However, the real problem has never been with our race, but with the truth you have spoken."

Truth? When did I become so insightful that I could verbally proclaim the truth? How come I'm so amazing that I don't even know it myself?

Yu Lian felt that this guy was overpraising him. If he hadn't already cultivated his sense of shame to another level, he might be covering his face right now.

"The universe has indeed come to a standstill," he said.

Hmm, that sounds familiar, it has a very truthful feel to it. So, who actually said that? I really want to meet such a philosopher—he sounds like he's not only learned and skilled in martial arts, but also incredibly handsome and intelligent!
"Isn't it a tragedy that a universe that has wiped out so many races has remained stagnant? The Galactic Empire, ruled by the Void Crown, is an incredibly powerful yet long-established system. It bestows an unbreakable order, yet it also constantly devours possibilities and the future. General, the Galactic Empire is a prison for the races and civilizations of the universe."

"Then, what about the alliance?" Yu Lian asked.

"It's the same, and the Alliance is the same." The woman said in a deep voice, her tone carrying a hint of complex emotion, as if she were discussing the matter from the perspective of a third party, or perhaps it was an accusation: "The two great human civilizations entered the universe long ago, occupying the most prosperous shipping lanes and the richest star systems, establishing an unshakeable hegemony. On one hand, they vie for supremacy, but on the other hand, they also join hands, ruthlessly eliminating all challengers. How can this not be a cage?"

That's certainly the truth. It must be acknowledged that if Yu Lian from his past life had truly sensed the current situation, he would likely have destroyed the empire.

Yu Lian finally understood.

So what's bringing this universe to a standstill isn't the evil rulers, but humanity, this malignant tumor!
"After the cage is broken, what is liberated is not necessarily all hope and progress; there will certainly be a long period of turmoil. However, liberation is something that will happen sooner or later," the woman remarked.

"You guys are talking about liberation too?" Yu Lian clicked his tongue in amazement, looking at them as if he were observing a visual spectacle: "Having dealt with you guys so much, your style has indeed become more and more bizarre! You mere snakes want to liberate the civilization and history of the entire universe?"

"Now, Madam," looking flustered, shook her head vigorously, a hint of flattery and embarrassment in her eyes. She simply lowered her head and said, "No, no, no, this isn't about me, it's about you!"

This guy is so self-righteous.

"Also, what I said before wasn't me, it was Yani."

"...Including that cage from earlier?"

“Especially that cage from earlier, she was quite proud of it.”

Indeed, the most powerful reactionaries in the world must be those who have truly understood the original principles.

"Now I know how you escaped from her and returned to the organization."

The woman shrugged. "But we can't be liberators. We're just observers and witnesses, but that's just self-aggrandizing... Essentially, we're just a bunch of morally bankrupt pleasure-seekers."

Seeing Yu Lian staring at her with a half-smile, she had no choice but to say dryly, "Okay, okay, we're not some kind of pleasure-crazed organization. Maybe we were at the beginning. But now, we're just an underground society sticking together for warmth, doing illegal research and forbidden explorations, integrating shady mercenary, pirate, and cult groups, and acting as a black glove for the big shots in the universe."

Wow, this guy actually admitted it!

"The style has suddenly dropped a lot."

"An organization with such a long history can't be expected to be sophisticated."

The woman smiled, pretending not to see the disapproving look in the eyes of the lawbreaker, and shrugged, saying, "But you have to admit, being a black glove for only one family means you'll be used and then discarded. But if you become a glove for many families, it's a different story. So we will always be destroyed, strangled, and yet we will always survive."

She was also staring at Yu Lian with bright eyes, full of expectation and pleading: "The more elders above us, the more secure our position will be!"

The latter certainly understood what he meant, but it was impossible for him to give any response at this time.

He surveyed the swirling gray mist beyond the Lonely Realm, sensing the total number of illusory creatures moving nearby with unprecedented efficiency, and also detecting the hidden spatial gate with unprecedented efficiency.

This dimensional gate has never disappeared; it is merely hidden in the gap between the virtual realm and the real world, and it will only appear when it obeys the will of the Lord of the Lonely Realm.

But now, Yu Lian clearly "saw" the entrance to that door, and even vaguely sensed the exit on one side, feeling the aura of the material world.

The “Breaker” seemed to have understood something, and once again put his hands together and raised them above his head, as if in worship: “I pray for your final victory in the most humble and devout way, and look forward to meeting you again next time.”

Yu Lian waved his hand and walked towards the door.

"In addition, the organization has decided that my next body will be a young woman. But you will definitely recognize her then."

Yu Lian immediately got goosebumps. Although whether he still had this physiological function with his current strength was still debatable.

He decided to pretend he hadn't heard anything.

"I will observe and participate closely in the movement of the primary colors of the entire universe, and then I will listen to your teachings."

We'd better never see each other again. Without looking back, Yu Lian disappeared into the spatial passage, returning to the material universe of the present world. This time, even the subtle dizziness that naturally occurs when traversing between the virtual realm and reality was gone.

Now, Yu Lian, whose soul has been upgraded, is terrifyingly strong. He is already a demigod who has mastered the power of "divine soul." Crossing the two worlds is as easy as crossing his own backyard wall for him. He loves this feeling.

The landing point remained in the center of the Silent Spacecraft's observatory.

Yu Lian glanced at the distance beyond the dome and clearly "saw" the Imperial Xiaguan Fortress, which was still exploding and disintegrating.

His attention had barely turned to the sound when he was startled to hear countless screams and wails. A wave of despair washed over him like an avalanche, yet it did nothing to shake his resolve.

Based on this slight deduction, although he had done a lot in the virtual world and chatted and laughed with that mysterious goddess for a long time, less than ten minutes had passed in reality.

“You seem different.” Yu Lian heard Xiao Hui’s voice.

He looked up and naturally saw the beautiful face of the robot lady floating in front of him. His eyes sparkled with an unprecedented gleam: "Now, little brother Yu Lian, may I slice some of your flesh? I'm very curious!"

Yu Lian nodded in response: "Oh, go ahead and cut it if you want. I'm actually quite curious too."
