Chapter 788
Integrating Forces
Several hours later, Taiwu Daozun hurriedly departed.
The Five Virtues Phoenix Master revealed a slight look of satisfaction and said, "Although your True Martial Sect's leader has not reached the Dao Lord level, he is actually quite close. However, he is not an easy person to deal with in negotiations."
You must know how immense the Demon Lord's aura is.
The gap between a Dao Venerable and a Demon Lord is greater than the gap between a Dao Lord in the Myriad Manifestations Realm and a Demon Venerable.
Once the aura is released, even ordinary Dao Venerables will find it difficult to control the chaotic world within their bodies.
However, Taiwu Daozun was able to negotiate normally with the Five Virtues Phoenix Lord.
Although the Phoenix Lord did not exert her full strength during this process, it was enough to prove the extraordinary nature of the Taiwu Daozun.
"Then this junior thanks you for such praise, senior."
Golden Horn nodded.
"Then let's continue."
With a slight wave of his hand, the Five Virtues Phoenix Lord suddenly woke up, revealing a somewhat dazed expression, as if he had not yet woken from a deep dream.
After a long while, Ao Qing seemed to suddenly wake up. Despite being at the Demon Lord realm, he acted as if nothing had happened and casually asked, "I wonder how far away the Undying Volcano is?"
"Ha ha……"
The Five Virtues Phoenix Lord shook his head slightly and said with a smile, "We're not far now. We've seen enough of the scenery, so it's time to speed up our journey."
Jin Jiao and Feng Yao exchanged a glance, vaguely noticing the surprise in each other's eyes.
Ao Qing's realm was at the peak of the late stage of the Venerable realm, yet he could still be fooled silently.
At this moment, Jinjiao also felt a sudden chill run down his spine.
He even began to wonder if he had been fooled by this Phoenix Lord.
He looked up at the Five Virtues Phoenix Lord in the distance, and at that moment, the Phoenix Lord was also looking at him, a faint smile on his face.
"hiss……"
Jinjiao took a breath, his vigilance growing even stronger.
"We must be very careful with this person. We absolutely cannot let our guard down for even a moment, otherwise..."
Golden Horn silently warned himself!
……
In the vast universe.
A dark, starry sky.
The energy of countless stars converged and slowly condensed in the air into a huge energy gate. In just a moment, several objects were sent directly out of the gate.
Compared to the teleportation function, the things that were sent out looked extremely fragile.
Soon, several streaks of light shot over, quietly examining the few lumps of light.
Those were insects, with a lamp-like object suspended at the tip of their head antennae, as if they were lit lanterns.
However, everyone present knew that this was no ordinary insect, but a Zerg navigator found among the Zerg.
"This is the Navigator. Its cutting edge can actually grow organs that naturally carry the laws of space and time. It's simply incredible."
Zhan Jiuxiao looked at the insect and couldn't help but sigh.
Not to mention him, even the late-stage Venerable Insect Emperor's personal guard around him couldn't help but blink his compound eyes incessantly as he looked at this insect.
"Strange, how did such flesh and blood evolve? It's truly unbelievable, a natural evolution?"
The mechanical race envoy standing nearby asked curiously.
To be honest, not only them, but even all the powerful beings in the outer universe have never thought about why living beings are born with the laws of time and space.
Moreover, every race can produce such unique beings.
Now, the Zerg navigator is being sent out.
"If we give an insect to your mother queen, can she use it to breed special insects?"
Zhan Jiuxiao suddenly spoke, his voice extremely calm, as if he were probing something.
Not far away, the mechanical race's divine envoy's gaze also flickered, as if he were waiting for an answer.
At this moment, all the powerful figures present realized these things.
If they can find the secret of the Navigator and make the Navigator appear consistently within their race, then without a doubt their race will stand at the top of the entire universe!
The reason is simple: if a race is born with the laws of time and space attached to its body, then the probability of that race producing Venerables and Saints must be exaggerated to the extreme!
"Maybe."
The Zerg envoy replied, "But that's on the condition that we can guarantee..."
However, just as they were about to speak, suddenly, the surrounding time and space distorted and condensed towards the center.
"Someone made a move?"
Almost immediately, Zhan Jiuxiao took action, forcibly distorting time and space.
The wave that had just been stirred up was immediately calmed down.
Upon seeing this, the Empress's guards immediately looked around warily to prevent any powerful individuals from entering.
"Could it be the Doomsday Cult?"
However, despite their heightened vigilance, there was no movement whatsoever, as if what had just happened was merely an illusion.
But after a short while, the gazes of all the powerful figures slowly fell on the Zerg navigator.
"Time and space have changed."
The mechanical race's divine envoy stared at the Zerg navigator and spoke.
Even without him saying it, all the powerful beings present who had comprehended the laws of time and space had already noticed that the appearance of this Zerg navigator immediately caused changes in the surrounding space and time.
Can a single insect cause a spontaneous upheaval in the surrounding space and time?
The many powerful figures present suppressed the space while falling into deep thought.
"Doesn't that mean that once we stop suppressing it, this insect will almost certainly perish if it's exposed to the open universe?"
The Zerg envoy immediately spoke with displeasure.
After all, he still wanted to take these Zerg navigators back to the hive to see if they could breed Zerg with innate time and space abilities.
The powerful figures immediately understood.
At this moment, there was more than one Zerg navigator that had been sent. After a brief discussion, the powerful beings threw one out and exposed it to the environment of the universe.
Almost instantly, the surrounding time and space surged, and the Zerg navigator was torn apart by the overwhelming time and space in the blink of an eye!
puff!
Blood and flesh were mangled, the body was torn to pieces, and not even a trace of the soul remained.
"It's as if the universe itself has erased it."
Zhan Jiuxiao couldn't help but look up at the boundless starry sky.
"The difference between internal and external laws may lie in the laws of time and space; otherwise, it would be impossible to form an environment like a subspace."
The mechanical race's divine messenger spoke.
For a moment, everyone fell into deep thought.
If that's the case, no matter how much they cultivate them, the so-called navigator will probably only exist in that small universe.
Although they can survive in microcosms, the foundation of their three races is always in the macrocosm.
"We will conduct some research. There are currently three Navigators left. Each of our three races will take one. If we have any research results, we can share them with each other."
Zhan Jiuxiao immediately spoke.
However, despite this, the information exchanged between the three races was probably only the most superficial.
A moment later, Zhan Jiuxiao left the place with the human race venerable and an insectoid navigator, and then said, "Everyone, you stay here and keep watch. I am going to the War Alliance headquarters to see the ancestor and see if he has any solutions."
"Yes." The many venerable ones nodded in agreement.
If this insectoid race doesn't have a powerful being who controls the laws of time and space to protect it, will it be directly annihilated by the laws of the universe?
Even if placed in a chaotic space, it probably wouldn't work.
The laws cultivated by all the powerful beings originate from the Great World, and can only be personally guided by Zhan Jiuxiao.
In a short while, the three navigators were taken away and headed to their respective races' base camps.
Perhaps only a sage can see through this truth.
……
The microcosm, beyond that planet overrun by Zerg.
The Zerg lords from the outer universe descended upon this place, struggling to overcome the obstacles of the warp.
"As expected, the Zerg in this universe are indeed here."
The insectoid venerables, their eyes burning with intensity, immediately descended.
At the same time, seemingly sensing a similar yet different aura, the weaker insectoids immediately began to riot, swarming forward and rushing straight at them.
However, in the blink of an eye, those ants that approached the Zerg Venerable were crushed to death, not even having the right to get close.
These Zerg lords bent down, and one of them casually grabbed a weak Zergling.
puff!
The sharp claws pierced the weak insectoid's body, and blood flowed down the claws into the insectoid lord's body.
The other Zerg lords fell silent, as if waiting for something.
Time passed second by second. After a moment, the Zerg Venerable who had made the move suddenly sensed something and looked up sharply towards the starry sky.
"I felt it, it's in that direction!"
"That pseudo-insect king in this microcosm is in that direction!"
As soon as he finished speaking, all the Zerg Venerables present unleashed a deep killing intent.
Although these Zerg Venerables are all Venerable-level beings.
However, the Zerg's worship of their Queen far surpasses the imagination of the humans, and when they discover that anything threatens their Queen's safety, they will not hesitate to kill it.
"Find her, kill her at all costs! There can only be one Queen Mother, whether in the universe or beyond!"
The numerous Zerg they brought began to roar and howl.
Then these large cosmic insectoids began to slaughter the weaker insectoids here, converting them into pure power.
Unlike the Zerg and the Machine Race, Jiang Shu had already returned to the Canglan Kingdom at this moment.
Having escaped the constraints of the subspace, Jiang Shu was somewhat exhausted.
Having traveled back and forth between three places in succession, and constantly resisting the chaos of time and space, even he was somewhat exhausted at this point.
"Fortunately, at least we gained something."
Jiang Shu nodded slightly, and then headed towards the planet.
Before even arriving, sensing his presence, Zhan Feng leaped out and appeared beside him.
"Brother, how's the situation over there?"
"It's almost resolved."
Jiang Shu gave a brief account of the situation, and Zhan Feng's face immediately showed a look of regret. "If only I had gone with you, I could have killed some Zerg, but I would have had to guard this place."
"It's alright. We'll definitely face quite a few wars in this world after we come here."
Jiang Shu smiled and offered a word of comfort.
A Venerable One can only elevate what he has learned in the Dao Lord realm or the tenth realm through battles at the same level. This is far more effective than simply cultivating diligently.
The two hurriedly returned to the planet below.
Upon sensing his presence, Ming Haoxing and Li Hanyi stepped forward.
"I've already arranged to deal with those insects. Don't worry, there won't be any hidden dangers."
Jiang Shu smiled and nodded.
Of course, what he meant was to let the Zerg take charge of dealing with those insects.
In this vast universe, the Zerg are naturally the best at dealing with each other.
Upon hearing these words, both Venerable Ones were overjoyed.
Those insects were completely defeated by them; their numbers were endless, they multiplied rapidly, and their top-tier combat power was far superior to theirs.
"How is Brother Chen doing now?"
Jiang Shu asked casually.
"Brother Chen is still recovering, but it's alright. As long as he survives, he can recover even if he loses some cultivation."
Li Hanyi sighed and spoke.
When Chen Huanran was fighting the Star Shattering Insect King, he even planned to self-destruct. If Jiang Shu hadn't intervened in time, he would probably have died long ago.
This will inevitably result in a significant loss of cultivation, but as long as he is still alive, given the Venerable One's long lifespan, he will always be able to rebuild his cultivation.
"That would be the best."
Jiang Shu nodded slightly, and then said, "Gentlemen, the human race is no longer what it used to be in the starry universe. There are dangers everywhere. Perhaps we should prepare for the future."
Planning ahead?
The two venerable ones exchanged a glance, and saw the understanding in each other's eyes.
"What does Brother Jiang mean?"
Ming Haoxing asked the question.
"It's simple, we might be able to form an alliance, after all, we're both human."
Jiang Shu immediately extended his hand.
Unlike the Zerg, the reorganization of their two worlds was fundamentally contradictory, stemming from the conflict between their respective queens.
However, this is not something that applies to their human race.
If these humans were willing, they could be directly absorbed to strengthen the human race.
A hint of joy immediately appeared in Li Hanyi's and Ming Haoxing's eyes.
That's exactly what they wanted to do!
Before encountering the Zerg, they might have hesitated, worrying whether the Futureers would target them or simply plunder their resources.
However, after experiencing the insect plague, the three Venerables realized that with their strength, they would be barely able to cope with the calamities that might appear at any time.
It's even possible that an accident could cause the entire force to perish.
"Of course we'd like to. How about we merge the two?"
Ming Haoxing immediately spoke up.
"It's not urgent."
Jiang Shu waved his hand and began to explain the current situation to the two venerable ones in front of him.
"You are now the second human force we have found; the other one is a mining colony planet from back then."
Jiang Shu began by giving a brief explanation.
Li Hanyi asked in surprise, "Could it be that Brother Jiang is trying to integrate other human forces?" (End of Chapter)
