Technological practice: leading the human race to the stars

Chapter 259: Defeat? Death!
Li Ru returned to normal, put his sword back into the scabbard, and quietly watched his painful appearance as his consciousness faded.

If I want to get all his memories and experiences, I must let him die in pain.

"Why bother? It wouldn't be so painful if you gave up your body earlier! Don't worry, I will use your name to lead mankind into the interstellar space."

Yuanze couldn't say anything. He covered his throat and looked straight ahead with unwillingness in his eyes.

Just before the attack, he realized that Li Ru had increased the energy barrier of the sword, greatly reducing the probability of successful tunneling.

But by then his body was no longer able to react, and he barely dodged it, but his throat was still slit.

I can feel my consciousness gradually fading away, and my own realm is also crumbling bit by bit.

Time seemed to stand still, and the surroundings became more blurry.

Past scenes came flooding in like a tide, fragments slid rapidly before my eyes, and the flashing scenes looked like a constantly spinning whirlpool, each scene was full of details.

Those details that I had once ignored suddenly became extremely clear, as if they had never left my heart.

Laughter, tears, hugs, and goodbyes all came back to life in an instant, only to disappear in the next second as new fragments flashed by.

“Is it a revolving lantern?”

The moment he was about to reach the final battle, he realized why he lost.

"Is this what death feels like?"

Yuanze understood and realized why he had to live a good life, and strong emotions burst out from the bottom of his heart.

Since this is consciousness, this is an imaginary world, as long as my will is strong enough, what can he do to me!
Suddenly, those images were pulled back into his mind by his emotions.

Li Ru stood up in surprise. He felt incredible that the memory of Yuan Ze was being withdrawn from his mind.

He drew out his sword and decided not to bother with those memories. He would never let this kid do it again.

The sharp slash was swung towards Yuanze's standing body that refused to fall, but the sword blade was bounced away by the invisible cover.

Li Ru watched his consciousness gathering again and becoming more and more crazy. He attacked Yuan Ze with all his might, without any trace of the composure he had just had.

"How could this be! Is he such a person?"

He remembered a piece of information he had seen in the alien ruins, a horrifying fact.

Only a very small number of people have the talent to transform in the sea of ​​consciousness, but if you want to confirm it, you must actually die here, and you cannot simply erase your consciousness.

The willpower of such a person will become extremely strong, completely eliminating the obstacles to the evolution of consciousness.

"If I had known he was such a person, I wouldn't have coveted his memory! I only wanted his body!"

Li Ru quickly calmed down. After all, this was a quantum world and his home ground.

He jumped to the side to accumulate energy, ready to deliver a fatal blow the moment he was "resurrected".

The moment Yuanze moved, a white light completely flooded the space.

It took a long time for all this to become apparent.

Yuanze used his consciousness to create a force field, and that seemingly powerful move did not cause any damage at all.

"To be able to do this, your consciousness is already more than an entry-level one. I didn't expect that I would be suppressed by you."

"There's nothing to be happy about. If I met you in real life, would I have another chance?"

"That's true. But everyone longs to start over again, but they just hope to get it out of thin air. How is it possible to travel through time and get rich overnight? You are different. You achieved it by yourself. This is also your ability."

"You, too, have made so many efforts to fight for your chance to live again. But have you ever thought about accepting your own decay and death?"

"Haha." Li Ru looked up at the void, "It would be fine if I didn't have enough talent, it would be fine if I died on the battlefield, but how could I be willing to be framed by thieves!" "Then you can also be like Commander Chen, and train the next generation to inherit your will."

"It's not like I haven't done this before. A is the best example. But look at what he did! I might as well do it myself! I'm sacrificing some people now to protect more people!"

"But do you know? There was a man named Paul in B03. He was just an ordinary person, but he protected everyone in the city, including those Source Warriors who were much stronger than him."

Li Ru no longer responded. He grasped the hilt of the sword with his right hand, slowly pulled it out of the scabbard, and then pointed the tip of the sword at Yuanze.

Although he recognized Yuan Ze and his consciousness was inspired to the condensed level, he had his own ideas:
"I'm just following the path I think is right!"

At this point, both sides have realized that the other side is doing what they believe is right, and that the other side also possesses the qualities of a strong person.

This is a battle of ideas.

It's not about winning or losing.

However, Yuanze also found out that he was wrong.

Indeed, Commander Chen understands him better.

Li Ru did not lose his original intention, but his actions made me really disagree.

Genze lowered himself into a crouch, taking a fighting stance.

The two rushed forward at an extremely fast speed and wrestled with each other. Neither side held back, and every move was aimed at killing with one blow.

Li Ru took the opportunity to kick Yuan Ze and distance himself from him again.

"My body has completely lost its vitality." Li Ru was very calm, as if he was saying something ordinary.

Yuanze also saw that his face in the sea of ​​consciousness was getting older little by little, his hair was turning white again, and his waist was a little hunched.

"The body is just a container, but the spirit is more important. Why do you want to be burdened by it?"

"You are still young. We should be in the same boat. We have a common enemy. It's a pity that we have to fight to the death now. I don't want to do this anymore."

"If we don't share the same ideals, we can't work together. There's no point in talking any more!"

Li Ru sighed, raised his hand holding the sword behind his back to the front, and rushed forward again.

At the moment when the two men came into close combat, Li Ru made a move that Yuanze could not have expected.

He threw the sword to the ground, and the door opened without any defense.

Yuanze had no time to retract his attack and chopped down with his knife.

"Why are you doing this?"

"I've figured it out. I should let it go."

"But the outcome?"

"Neither you nor I are fools. You can see that if this continues, the source of energy in my consciousness will be exhausted first."

"But……"

"Nothing. I want to thank you for letting me figure this out at the last minute. This is more important than occupying your body. Everything from now on will really depend on you. I believe Chen Shuai's vision must be correct."

Countless memories of Li Ru's life began to be transmitted to Yuanze's mind, containing countless confidential information.

All of this points to a mysterious person who is more powerful than A and even on par with the King of Source Beasts.
