While Jiang Wang was leisurely resting...

The secret realm outside has been completely covered by the third stage.

Some members of various races and hunters are already active in the secret realm.

This was not because they were brave, but because the alternate dimension they were in had run out of energy.

They were forced to enter the secret realm to search for fluorite.

This was not an isolated case; soon, more and more people left the energy-less alternate dimension.

Unfortunately, most of the glowstone ended up in the hands of the Zerg.

And these Zerg...

At this moment, a hunter stared blankly at the insectoid creature, now emanating demonic energy...

"Can the Zerg also become demonic beings?"

After all, in the Hunters' experiments, only high-ranking units could transform into demonic beings when facing the Abyss, because only those units could withstand the power of the Abyss...

But at this moment...

The hunter stared into thought as he looked at the massive swarm of insects before him, all of which had transformed into 'demonic seeds'.

The Zerg swarm is entirely composed of high-tier units?!

The hunter didn't know the answer, but he also chose not to provoke the Zerg.

He then prepared to bypass the Zerg and search for fluorite.

But slowly, bursts of black flames appeared on his body, but he was oblivious to it.

The mighty hunter was thus slowly corrupted by demonic energy during his flight, and then turned into dust.

He certainly didn't provoke the demonized insectoids, which looked formidable after their transformation, but he couldn't detect the demonized nanite insectoids in the air...

The nanites, after being corrupted, received an epic boost.

It can not only easily burn away soul power and other energies, but also trap the parasitized person in a kind of illusion.

They are like walking abysses.

If you touch it, you'll be crippled; if you touch it, you'll die.

Several members of various races and even members of the Star Alliance died under such attacks.

This is not the Zerg's fault, since their orders were to surround the Zerg hive.

Therefore, any creature that gets close to the Zerg will be attacked by the Zerg.

Even demons are no exception.

Meanwhile, Jiang Wang, who had finally managed to get some sleep, found himself back in that pitch-black space.

Jiang Wang frowned slightly as he looked at the surrounding darkness.

'Can't you just let me get some sleep? I was only summoned when I was advancing in rank before. What's wrong? Why are you in such a rush now? Even sleeping is dragging me in? Have I been reincarnated as the Duke of Zhou (a figure from Chinese mythology associated with dreams)?'

He kept cursing to himself.

But he dared not say it out loud, after all, he had already learned of the terror of the abyss, and this space was the space that the one who called himself the abyss.

"Hey, go ahead and say something, why aren't you saying anything? Hmm?"

A cold voice rang in Jiang Wang's ears.

Instantly, the hairs on Jiang Wang's body stood on end.

Consider this a lesson for you: don't speak ill of others when they are unknown.

"Even in my heart, it won't work."

"Moreover, this time it wasn't me who summoned you, but you who summoned me, or rather, it was it that summoned me."

As the abyss spoke, the black bead inside the black and white spiral appeared before Jiang Wang, but at this moment, the black bead was only the size of a mung bean.

The moment when Jiang Wang was stared at by that huge eye instantly flashed through his mind.

The Abyss scoffed when it saw this.

"Abyss Seed? Ha, a lowly Abyss Seed."

The next second.

As the sound from the abyss faded away.

The black bead that had been holding on just moments before shattered instantly.

It transformed into a black gene and entered the black-and-white spiral, flying directly to the top of the black spiral and suppressing all the other genes below.

Consider this a gift from me.

"Is there anything else?"

Hearing the abyss's question, Jiang Wang hesitated for a moment before boldly asking.

Three questions.

"speak."

"You've taken such good care of me, what do you need me to do?"

"You'll know when it's time to do it. You're too weak right now. Only by reaching the Void Breaking stage as soon as possible can you repay me."

Hearing Abyss's words, Jiang Wang felt slightly relieved. After all, if Abyss didn't want anything from him, then he would be truly terrified...

"Are you the abyss?"

"Yes and no."

Jiang Wang: ? ? ? ?

But he didn't press the matter further; instead, he continued to ask questions.

Were you watching me the whole time?

"You don't need to know."

"Alright, you can go back now."

"It's cold," the abyss said.

Jiang Wang then left the dark space.

The next second, Jiang Wang slowly opened his eyes.

At this moment, his body was exceptionally relaxed. Although his mind had entered the abyss at the very end, he had actually had a good sleep.

Aunt Li Xue looked at Jiang Wang as he woke up and said something with a somewhat unnatural expression.

"You're awake...~"

She blushed slightly and turned her head away. Jiang Wang found it amusing to look at Aunt Li Xue. She was always like this; after doing something she considered 'bad,' she would blush shyly and couldn't even lie.

"You didn't pinch my cheek while I was sleeping to get revenge, did you?"

Jiang Wang grinned mischievously.

"How is that possible!"

"Really? There are surveillance cameras in other dimensions, you know~"

"No, I said no, so it's no!"

As she spoke, Aunt Li Xue stood up and walked to her seat.

Seeing Aunt Li Xue's guilty look, Jiang Wang stopped teasing her and instead looked at the black gene in the spiritual world and what Ye Chen had left behind.

Jiang Wang has already entered all the information about the biological empire into the insect hive.

As for Ye Chen's private sponsorship...

Jiang Wang looked at the set of martial arts techniques in front of him.

[Abyss! Let's fight to the death! (Ye Chen's improved version)]

(Original name: Holy Light)

Jiang Wang glanced through it; the technique was quite simple—it simply allowed him to master a new type of energy...

To be precise, it gave Jiang Wang the ability to wholesale fluorite at any time, or the ability to turn himself into fluorite.

Jiang Wang chuckled inwardly as he looked at the technique. He could imagine how furious Ye Chen must have been, having been forced by the royal family to kill his savior. This technique was clearly designed to help Jiang Wang counter the Abyss abilities of the Kaiyuan royal family when dealing with them...

only...

Jiang Wang looked at the black gene suspended high inside the spiral and fell into deep thought.

Abyss Seed

[Effect: The recipient implanted with the Abyss Seed will become a Level 1 Abyss Demon Seed and begin to wield the power of the Abyss.]

Jiang Wang looked at the Abyss Seed and then at the cultivation technique in his hand.

What's this?

The strongest spear and the strongest shield?
