Lai Jing · Fana waved his cloak aside, and his scepter struck the concrete floor.
Behind him, streets and towering buildings, everywhere, countless mecha armies instantly appeared.
Countless fine cracks rapidly spread across the ground beneath his feet. As the gaps widened and the floor lifted, an enormous mecha palm rose from the earth, lifting him high into the sky.
"Gu Ya, if I'm not mistaken, this is your spiritual world."
"The ratio of time flow here to reality is 1:144."
"You must defeat me within 720 seconds. Otherwise, you will become my subordinate."
As he spoke these words, the giant mecha hand had already delivered him into the cockpit of a massive mecha.
A sky-covering mecha army surged from behind this colossal mecha.
Gu Ya wasted no words, leaping into the sky. A crimson mecha rapidly enveloped him.
A bright cockpit appeared, and a soft pilot seat cradled Gu Ya.
"Lai Jing · Fana is indeed clever, understanding his situation at a glance and even calculating the time."
"He's right, I need to defeat him within five seconds of real-time!"
"But don't forget, this is my world!"
The crimson mecha rapidly grew in size, and red energy erupted from its thrusters, filling the space behind the mecha.
A golden cannon extended from the mecha's chest, instantly charging.
Without giving the enemy any time to react, a world-destroying beam cannon fired.
The beam cannon, several times larger than the mecha, suddenly split into five, then ten, then a hundred in mid-air.
The earth overturned, planets were destroyed, and stars were within reach.
Gu Ya, with immense mental willpower, created an overwhelmingly large number of crimson mechs, each unleashing hundreds, even thousands, of energy beams.
The dim interstellar sea was instantly illuminated, and the entire universe was enveloped in an intensely white light.
Lai Jing · Fana's mecha army was annihilated before it could even touch Gu Ya.
"680 seconds!" Lai Jing · Fana stated calmly.
Instantly, this intensely white universe was replaced by darkness.
Lai Jing · Fana's mecha clasped a swirling galaxy with both hands and compressed it into a black hole.
Immediately, countless Lai Jing mechs appeared, each holding a black hole.
The mechs overlapped, and the black holes expanded rapidly, eventually exceeding their own mass by trillions of times.
"Gu Ya, can you withstand this Black Hole Cannon of mine?"
Suddenly, a boundless, square black domain covering the entire universe sucked the black holes and Lai Jing · Fana into itself.
Coldness and despair instantly permeated Lai Jing's mind, countless fragmented memories flashing upwards.
"Abyss of Consciousness..." Lai Jing · Fana uttered, struggling against the torrent of memories.
Gu Ya's crimson mecha suddenly appeared, its arms tightly locking onto Lai Jing's mecha.
"Let's see how you escape this bottomless abyss. If we die, we die together!" Gu Ya snarled.
"Hahaha! Ridiculous!! The awakening of Hai Yang, suppressed by my willpower and made to serve me! How could I fear this mere abyss!"
Lai Jing's mecha suddenly transformed into a purple meteor, shooting upwards, and the crimson mecha instantly became a red lightning bolt, following closely behind.
Both mechs flew out of the Abyss of Consciousness simultaneously.
Lai Jing · Fana soared high in the sky, looking down condescendingly.
"Gu Ya, your imagination is too barren! But it's understandable; after all, you are of human flesh and cannot conceive of things you have never seen."
"However, I am different. Through Hai Yang, I have seen a vaster world! A world that would drive you completely insane!"
"490 seconds!!! Gu Ya, you only have this much time left."
"Do you have any last wishes to tell your dying comrades?"
Gu Ya said softly, "Do you know what I hate the most? I hate arrogant people who think they are superior. And you fit that description perfectly."
"I will completely kill you in the remaining time."
The crimson mecha rapidly ascended, the immense energy behind it suddenly surging, fluttering in the wind like a vibrant, imposing red flag.
The entire world suddenly began to tremble. Galaxies flickered out, the universe peeled away, and the entire space rapidly compressed!
Lai Jing · Fana suddenly shouted, "You want to trap me here completely through self-inflicted consciousness destruction! You're too naive!!"
"Let me show you my world!! A world composed of humanity's strongest will and the strongest computational domain!!!"
Time and space froze to Lai Jing's shout and then instantly shattered.
Countless bizarre, grotesque beasts, never seen before, bit through space and drilled into Gu Ya's world.
Countless insane thoughts surged from Gu Ya's mind.
Stinging pain that pierced the brain, swirling maelstroms, frozen light, giant eyes, the mouths of beasts with millions of rows of teeth, instantly flooded Gu Ya's brain.
Gu Ya had never experienced such a massive influx of information; it was as if his brain had been smashed into a universe in an instant.
"370 seconds!!! Gu Ya!! This is only one percent of my ability!!!!"
Countless hands shouted his name in Gu Ya's ear.
Billions of eyes poured the thought of "give up" into Gu Ya's mind.
Space was devoured by the mouths of colossal beings, spreading endless pain.
Confusion, madness, terror, and shock – all negative emotions felt like grotesque "amusement park attractions," and Gu Ya wandered through this massive "amusement park" for billions of circles.
"You have 90 seconds left!!!"
Suddenly, all images froze again.
A beam of white light spilled into the space, like a heavenly sound saving Gu Ya.
Bai Ying transformed into her most primitive form, a young girl in a pure white dress with silver hair and white eyebrows, descending from the light.
Her appearance instantly swept away all defilement, purifying the space.
"Hai Yang..."
Bai Ying's divine voice was like billions of flying swords, piercing Lai Jing · Fana's brain.
Lai Jing roared, "Pitiful maggot! Shameless compatriot! You chose the wrong side, and your only end is death!"
The computational domain instantly expanded.
Bai Ying stood before the fallen Gu Ya and said calmly, "Dad, Mom, and the others are coming. I'll handle this..."
Gu Ya was instantly pushed out of the consciousness space.
When he opened his eyes, Ye Ying, Ning Yu, Qi Ji, and Shen Jingming were surrounding him, looking at him with anxious concern.
An hour ago,
Shortly after Gu Ya left, Ye Ying led everyone in slaughtering all of Lai Jing · Fana's clones in the large tomb chamber.
Sixteen clones were extracted before they could be killed.
Additionally, there was a very strange clone with its head missing, leaving only the torso floating in nutrient fluid.
Ye Ying realized Gu Ya might be in a life-or-death battle. After clearing these clones, she led the group to rush over.
Gu Ya lay in Ye Ying's embrace, his eyes vacant, his whole body wracked by pain that disrupted his concentration.
"Husband! Gu Ya!!" Ye Ying called out twice, gently shaking Gu Ya.
Gu Ya recovered and smiled, "It's good to die in your arms..."
Ning Yu leaned closer and said, "Master! Lai Jing · Fana isn't dead yet! You can't be harmed, we need you!"
Gu Ya's eyes suddenly widened, recalling all his recent experiences, and a look of fear instantly spread across his face.
But soon,
Gu Ya suppressed the fear in his heart and said calmly, "I have the Jar of Restraint liquid in my stomach, Ning Yu, stay away from me!"
