BXBX NOVEL Chapter 2387 - Li Yao’s Preach!
2387 Li Yao’s Preach!
The deafening drumming and the unstoppable soundwaves immediately drowned the entire Great Iron Plants.
Even the magma well in the geothermal factory at the center of the Great Iron Plants was awed by Li Yao’s dominance, and its spurting fire became a glittering background for him.
Together with his breath and his heartbeat, the flames were rolling higher and higher.
Encouraged by the soul-stirring battle hymns, all the Nepenthe believers seemed to have been injected with new energy. They roared, charged, and ripped apart everything they saw again.
The battle puppets standing in their way, on the other hand, were interrupted by the flames of spiritual energy that Li Yao was releasing nonstop. Their movements immediately slowed down because of the massive interferential attacks, and countless minor logic errors were occurring, giving the Nepenthe believers a most precious opportunity of attack!
The torrents of flesh and blood instantly devoured the wall made of iron. Leading the vanguard, Xu Zhicheng led his elite commando team and broke into the central part of the Great Iron Plants, successfully meeting with the workers who were on a riot within the Great Iron Plants!
The whole army was like a person whose nerves and veins were connected. It was now “alive”!
Li Yao, in the meantime, did not waste a single second, either. Like a dark gold god of death, he appeared on the top of all the fixed firing points one by one, leaving frightening blurred shadows behind him. Wherever he went, the enemies were crushed unstoppably. Not any Immortal Cultivator could resist him for one around. None of them were even able to keep their bodies intact. Their last cell was obliterated in his fury.
Two minutes later, most of the fixed firing points and the pivots of the defense arrays were destroyed, ending up as orange garbage in the thousands of degrees of temperature.
The Immortal Cultivators were either killed by Li Yao’s saber and spiritual energy or fleeing in desperation, trying their best to survive. How could they be idiotic enough to charge at Li Yao to be killed?
Those Immortal Cultivators, or rather, the “false Immortal Cultivators” who did not have real beliefs, were in fact not determined to fight at all. They were merely hired by the Black Iron Group and making a living in this place. Getting to the bottom of it, their lives mattered to themselves more than anything else. Was it necessary to sacrifice themselves for the little money that Li Minghui offered them every month?
Very soon, except for the battle puppets that were still resisting the tides of attacks loyally and tirelessly, there was not a single enemy as far as Li Yao could see.
Standing in the scorching air, under the contrast of the smoke and steam, Li Yao was somewhat unpredictable, but he was spreading out bright golden halos and illuminating the entire dark Great Iron Plants.
Ensuring that there would be no more interference from the Immortal Cultivators, Li Yao took a deep breath and inputted his thoughts into the “super brainwave magnifier” above his head.
The silver disc was immediately revolving multiple times faster than before. The runes on its surface began to glitter. Like a giant gyro, it emanated the most glamorous colors in the high-speed revolutions.
“Summon your courage!”
Li Yao spread the strong, persistent information to all directions through the “super brainwave magnifier”, not only reaching out to the entire Great Iron Plants but also to other underground towns far, far away along the dark, zigzagging tunnels around the Great Iron Plants.
“Summon your courage and fight the dark world to the end. In the meantime, do not ignore the feeble light in the darkness. Always remember what you fought for in the beginning!
“Do not forget happiness, do not forget anger, do not forget how to be touched, do not forget how to sing, do not forget your friends, your love, and your family, and do not forget your hope for the sunlight and the future because they are the reasons why you are fighting!
“Trust me, please trust me. There is hope. There is always hope! Do not abandon your feelings and desires in your desperation. Being emotionless will not make you any stronger but will only turn you into spiritual puppets of a different form. Spiritual puppets can never defeat the Immortal Cultivators and will only be manipulated by them! Even if you can defeat the Immortal Cultivators, does a world that is full of spiritual puppets without a single real human being have any point?
“Only by holding tightly to your feelings and desires can you be even stronger. This is the source of strength for all human beings, both you and me. This is the ultimate reason for our fight!”
Li Yao had never practiced the Serenity Arts, and he was incapable of telepathy, either. Naturally, he could not simply brainwash the Nepenthe believers with his ideas.
He was only releasing all the thoughts with the techniques of mental warfare that were within his knowledge, which danced in the midair like butterflies.
As to how much the Nepenthe believers could receive and if they could be awakened after they received the message, it would be up to themselves!
Li Yao knew that the speech that he came up with in a hurry was rather unconvincing and might not be enough to move the minds of the Nepenthe believers that had been sealed.
Therefore, he condensed tremendous pictures deep inside his memory that left a deep impression on him into ripples, spreading them out as many as possible.
Shua! Shua! Shua! Shua!
The first picture that Li Yao sent out was a music festival in which a hundred thousand people joined. All their hands were raised high to the sky, as if they were blowing up the sky. Their sweat was vaporized at the same time and mixed with the deafening sounds, turning the air into multiple colors. Everybody was shrieking, roaring, and hugging the people around them that they knew or did not know, releasing the most exciting feelings and desires.
The second picture that Li Yao sent out was one where the children were studying, laughing, and singing in the clean and spacious schools. When the gentle sunlight illuminated the faces of the children, turning their hair and eyelashes to dark gold, they appeared to be the best gifts for mankind that could only be condensed by consuming the spiritual energy of the entire universe.
Then, Li Yao showed the Nepenthe believers the supermarkets that were extravagant with a myriad of goods, the mass weddings that were warm and enjoyable, the ball games that were exciting and thrilling... as well as all the other pictures representing the feelings, desire, and will of mankind that he could think of.
Many of the pictures had long been mottled because they were kept in the memory for a long time. Also, their quality would suffer significant losses when they were transmitted through highly-unstable brainwaves. Perhaps by the time they were perceived by the Nepenthe believers, the only things left would be some incomplete pieces.
But even those pieces had dealt an unprecedented blow on the Nepenthe believers. A gate to a new world seemed to have been opened inside their brains slowly. They were all trembling and having trouble breathing, too overwhelmed to believe that such a world existed in the universe!
“Is this true?”
“That can’t be true.”
“But it would be so great if it was true!”
The Nepenthe believers looked at each other and Li Yao in confusion, expectation, desperation, and hope!
Li Yao felt that his brain was about to be emptied.
The mental attack tool, which was supposed to be used by the Pangu Clan and the Nuwa Clan, was now entirely powered by his heavily-wounded soul without the support of the energy from the geothermal factory. It was within his expectation that his brain was exhausted to the point of drought.
However, he had not fulfilled his destiny yet, and he could not stop!
In the next second, Li Yao gritted his teeth and condensed the tremendous fundamental knowledge on refining that he knew, including the production methods of certain weapons that did not require crystals, into information streams.
He also compressed the tactics and strategies for the ordinary people to deal with trainers or for the low-level trainers to deal with the high-level trainers, as well as the guiding principles of guerilla warfare, war of attrition, unrestricted warfare, etc., before he spread all of them to all directions, sending them to the towns further away through the tunnels and the cracks in the darkness!
Naturally, the direct transmission of information would not have very promising results. Even though he had sent out astronomical information, it was possible that the ordinary people below the ground could only receive some of the broken pieces, the fuzzy pictures, and the twisted numbers, which would only be forgotten very soon.
But Li Yao believed that the mottled pieces would be seeds. As long as they were sprayed and planted in the hearts of the underground locals, even if most of them forgot the information, some of the extraordinarily-talented guys would certainly remember it and study it in the darkness, making it grow into magnificent trees someday!
“Always remember that it’s not true that the ordinary people stand no chance of winning against the trainers. You are absolutely not lambs waiting to be butchered!
“The most critical factor is the cost for the trainers to take action!
“It takes massive resources and tremendous time for every trainer to stay at their current level. If they are unfortunately wounded, it will consume even more resources and time for them to recover. Trainers are extremely expensive and precise weapons that require huge investments every second!
“Take the Imperium of True Human Beings for example. Even for an Immortal Cultivator in the Refinement Stage who does nothing but conduct the fundamental training to maintain his current level every day, it will still cost him hundreds of crystal coins on a daily basis!
“If they are fully armed and march to the underground world to attack you, the cost will be increased by ten to twenty times. Even though they have so many resources, they still won’t be able to make up for the time that they have wasted!
“By comprehensive estimation, if the Immortal Cultivators march tens of thousands of meters into the ground to annihilate you, the cost will be dozens to hundreds of crystal coins even if they are destroying the most insignificant of you!
“It’s true that you are no match for the Immortal Cultivators, but you can try your best to increase the cost for the Immortal Cultivators to eliminate you through guerilla warfare and unrestricted warfare. If the Immortal Cultivators have to pay hundreds if not thousands of coins in order to kill one of you, then the Black Iron Group, the four Kurfürst families, and even the financial system of the entire Imperium of True Human Beings will go bankrupt!
“So, abandon the idiotic head-on clashes, try your best to preserve yourselves, and increase the cost for you to be destroyed. In the meantime, awaken as many people as possible and invite them to join your cause. Every new comrade you have will mean one fewer slave for the Immortal Cultivators and an additional cost of thousands of coins. Not a single financial system can bear such consumption. This is actually the greatest leverage that you have in the game against the Immortal Cultivators!”
