Starting from the Planetary Governor - Chapter 1389 - 790
Chapter 1389: Chapter 790
“Being the World King… what accomplishment compares to creating a better world?”
Hearing Li Ang’s statement, which sounded like a famous resolution, Yuan Yingzhi was momentarily stunned.
“Creating a better world?…” Yuan Yingzhi murmured, repeating the words, then smiled strategically, “Indeed, as expected of you. It seems that your previous dilemmas and doubts have some resolution now, right?”
“Yes.” Li Ang nodded, “Thank you for coming over to discuss these things with me.”
“It’s nothing.” Yuan Yingzhi said, “I didn’t say much; I just listened to you. You’ve already made up your mind; you just needed to express it and firmly decide.”
“Nevertheless, I must thank you.”
Yuan Yingzhi said no more. She stood up from the chair and bid farewell: “Then I won’t disturb you any longer. Do what you need to do.”
With that, she left without any hesitation, with peace of mind.
Left alone again, Li Ang heaved a long sigh. When he looked up again, his gaze was resolute:
“I am ready, Wang Su… show me what you’ve got.”
…
Li Ang had made his final decision. The slight hesitation and the thought ’it’s fine as it is now, no need for more Sky Net permissions; I am already strong enough now’ had been completely dismissed.
However, although he had made his decision, he did not rashly hurry to assemble all of Wang Su’s magic artifacts to fuse the Heavenly Net Key. All of Wang Su’s magic artifacts were separately placed and isolated by certain means to prevent them from self-assembling when placed too close.
Before fusing the key and confronting Wang Su, Li Ang had some preparations to do.
Li Ang went to see the female Martial God, Xie An.
This female Martial God, who Li Ang had dragged out from the core of the explosion during the final Divine Bird Building explosion, was now completely under his control.
Mental fields combined with his Sky Net hacking methods theoretically should be able to securely control Xie An, making this female Martial God fragment, a human weapon, completely obey his commands.
However, due to Xie An’s consciousness inexplicably emerging previously, Li Ang dared not be careless. Although her consciousness hadn’t appeared again after he dragged her back, the precedent existed, so it couldn’t be completely ignored.
Li Ang and the Rebel Army confined Xie An in a laboratory.
This place, despite being called a laboratory, looked more like a cell in decoration style, and a very mysterious and sturdy one at that. Not only were the surroundings and doors made of solid alloy materials, but the doors and walls of the cell were also inscribed with many spells to enhance their defensive properties and reduce the spiritual power activity of the prisoner inside, making it harder to gather energy.
Dealing with a prisoner like a female Martial God, no level of security measures is excessive.
However, judging by the current situation, the preparations made previously didn’t seem to have had any effect.
It’s not that Xie An escaped, but rather, this prisoner hadn’t moved since being placed on the cold bed board in the center of the cell, which resembled an operating table.
She strictly followed the instruction Li Ang gave when he initially placed her there: ’Lie still and don’t move,’ complying meticulously.
At this moment, when Li Ang came in, pulled a chair to sit next to the bed, and issued a command: ’Sit up and face me,’ she also dutifully complied.
Logically, this was how it should be; after all, she was completely under Li Ang’s control, so she did whatever Li Ang commanded, staying put unless given a specific command.
However, Li Ang couldn’t forget that during the decisive battle with Xie Lian, when he was about to kill Xie Lian, Xie An’s own will emerged and stopped him. Were it not for this, Xie Lian might not have had a chance to self-detonate.
After returning, Li Ang didn’t have time to deal with Xie An, but since her consciousness appeared before, proving it existed, it presumably still existed.
Her current obedient appearance seemed fake to Li Ang.
“Xie An?”
“Come out, I know you’re there.”
“Let’s have a good talk.”
Li Ang attempted to call Xie An several times but achieved no results.
After a moment of silence, Li Ang changed his approach.
“Command: Call out the deep consciousness to talk to me.”
Xie An’s vocal system responded: “Executing command… Unable to find deep consciousness, please confirm…”
“Retry.”
“Retrying… Unable to find deep consciousness, please confirm command.”
Li Ang rubbed his chin, lost in thought.
“If you really want to hide, it’s quite challenging for me to catch you…”
He murmured to himself, but he took action.
Standing up, Li Ang came behind Xie An, parted her hair at the back of her head, and fumbled to find an interface hidden beneath the hair.
This interface was not visible; it was concealed beneath a metal plate, clearly requiring some special command to open.
Li Ang couldn’t be bothered to find out what the command was. The energy of the Dark Side of Sky Net directly enveloped his hand, and with a forceful grip, he pried off the metal panel, which was supposed to be highly durable, revealing the black interface inside.
Under Li Ang’s direction, the energy of the Dark Side of Sky Net quickly formed into a compatible interface and inserted into the back of Xie An’s head.
In the next moment, Xie An’s entire body trembled violently as if electrified, but then quickly calmed down.
Li Ang’s eyes, however, emitted a strong, dark aura.
He had accessed Xie An’s core chip through this direct physical connection.
In Li Ang’s perception, it was as if he had entered a fantastic virtual space. Countless colorful threads intertwined and stretched endlessly.
Li Ang extended his hand, and the iridescent threads representing neural signals and spiritual power signals were moved by his fingers. Those that sparkled brighter were activated; those that dimmed were temporarily suppressed.
This was expected.
Li Ang had complete control over Xie An’s body, whether it was her warrior soul or her spell machine. The former was enveloped in the realm of intellect, while the latter was seized by the hacking technology of Sky Net. As such, these neural and spiritual power signals naturally followed Li Ang’s commands, moving at his will.
And amidst these intricate signals, he searched for his target.
This was not easy.
In this void space, the tangled threads were complex to the point of making one’s hair stand on end. Trying to identify the desired ones from this chaotic mess was exceptionally difficult.
But it wasn’t completely impossible.
Next, he’ll have to deal with the countermeasures set by Wang Su. Although Li Ang didn’t know what Wang Su had prepared, he wouldn’t underestimate this genius capable of deciphering the Heavenly Net Key left by the Ancient Immortal. Therefore, he made as many preparations in advance as possible.
After all, the time Wang Su spent in preparation would likely be longer and more extensive than Li Ang’s.
In fact, the time Li Ang spent in searching was shorter than he imagined.
He quickly found the abnormal thread.
Finding it was actually quite straightforward.
Li Ang was at home here, as if this entire space was his instrument, and all the ’threads’ were strings that moved at his touch.
Theoretically, none of the strings would reject him; they would all dance to his fingers. Those that didn’t move weren’t broken. In this virtual space within Xie An’s soul, many damaged threads existed because Xie An was severely injured in previous battles, making many neural and spiritual power signals naturally disrupted. Damaged threads should appear dim.
The remaining ones, which shimmered yet resisted Li Ang’s baton, were anomalies.
These were rare, and he searched long before finding one.
But no matter.
Finding one meant drawing it in.
With only one ’thread’, a single neural signal, Li Ang couldn’t determine where Xie An’s consciousness was hiding. But he wasn’t worried; he had plenty of time to search slowly.
One, two, three… Soon, Li Ang had gathered a small handful of ’disobedient’ threads.
These ’threads’ were aggregated by him. The spiritual power he controlled emitted a white light and hacked into them.
Represented as Li Ang’s own phantom body in this void space, he closed his eyes.
After a moment, his eyes suddenly opened.
“Found you… and even stumbled upon unexpected findings.”
Such thoughts emerged in his mind.
In the next moment, his body vanished from the original spot. When he reappeared, he was in a corner of the entire virtual soul space.
He raised his head and saw a clean white, two-storey house surrounded by a wooden fenced garden. Inside were numerous flowers and plants, with rabbits, squirrels, and kittens running and frolicking…
Like the most homely setting in a fairytale book.
Li Ang sighed again, walked to the entrance of the small yard, and pushed the gate open.
He walked along the garden path, and the little animals along the way reacted with incredible panic as if seeing a terrifying predator.
Li Ang thus ventured to the doorway of the small house.
His hand grasped the doorknob, ready to push it open, but reconsidered, feeling it might not be appropriate. He lightly coughed twice, knocked on the door three times, then took two gentlemanly steps back, standing at the door of the small house waiting.
