Chapter 286 Divine Corpse
The Hellfire Bomb didn't actually cause much of a stir; the surface explosion couldn't really shake this unknown force.
Wei Huan had to think of a new solution.
He arranged for a female Earth Beast to charge into the undercurrent with full firepower. As expected, the female Earth Beast died the next second, but at the same time, the face hugger it had brought in rushed out and successfully rushed forward a tiny distance. After it died, a puppy man fell out of its abdominal cavity. This time, it died faster, but after it died, the real killer came out.
It is a flying monkey in kite state bound to the Hellfire Bomb. Its existence is not to delay the disappearance of the Hellfire Bomb, but to activate the bomb at the moment before death.
"Bang!"
Finally, the Netherfire Bomb exploded. Even though it only penetrated less than three meters into the undercurrent, it was a result of Wei Huan using all his means.
The Hellfire Bomb that exploded in the undercurrent finally did not disappoint him. The explosion deep inside was much more powerful than the explosion on the surface.
A powerful undercurrent gushed out, pouring down on the undead, killing a large number of them.
Wei Huan was not angry, but was very happy that he had found the right way.
Because these undercurrents appear to be invisible air currents, they are actually very "heavy", like solids. Once a hole is exploded, it will not flow to fill it up in a short time.
Of course, the damage caused by Wei Huan was not even a scratch on the endless undercurrent.
Wei Huan happily used the same method and immediately sent out a large number of "nesting doll combinations" to get into the undercurrent.
"Bang!"
“Bang bang!”
The pit caused by the explosion was rapidly growing larger and deeper, approaching the ash-like material that had sunk to the bottom of the sea.
Wei Huan was certain that his direction was correct. As long as he could get in touch with these ashes, the Heart of Steel would be able to give the answer.
This way of exploring the mysteries is much better than doing the hard research on your own.
Just as Wei Huan continued to dig deeper, creating a huge noise that made the other chariots increasingly unable to hold back, Mu Zhong suddenly received a communication request.
Mu Zhong's expression changed after the call was connected. He stopped Wei Huan and said, "Part of Xia Yu's research has come out. A large amount of energy similar to the undercurrent was detected within the sample. This energy gives objects a similar ability to immortality, making them powerful while also seemingly controlling them."
Wei Huan had to distract himself and think: "The bodies of the swindler's descendants are full of this energy."
Mu Zhong said, "The illusionary power spread by the descendants of the deceivers is actually a kind of root parasitism. Like spores, when they stick to people, they block pain and produce hallucinations, and then absorb human nutrients to germinate. This is easy to understand.
In this world, the descendants of the tricksters seem to be invaded by the divine surge. Their parasitic abilities combined with the divine surge's immortality allow challengers whose bodies are occupied by them to not only live like zombies in an illusion, but also have the ability to control their abilities.
We can consider the combination of God's Surge and Trickster's Relic as an upgrade."
"So they coexist?" Wei Huan didn't like this answer very much.
"Probably." Unfortunately, Mu Zhong gave an answer that Wei Huan didn't like.
"What exactly are the survivors of the sixth-level world? Does Ironheart still have no answers? How far do I have to go to get the answers?"
"Wei Huan, I believe you're on the right track. The Undersurge is terrifying, and its immortal energy is unimaginable. What could it be protecting? This is the truth that Iron Heart demands we personally explore."
"Well, it's almost time. The answer will be revealed soon."
Wei Huan's method is stupid but effective.
If the current "nesting doll combination" was not already the limit, Wei Huan would have wanted to put thousands of undead on the outside in one go.
However, now under the attack of the massive undead who are not afraid of sacrifice, the effect is very significant. Little by little, a passage is blasted open and they reach the bottom of the sea.
“Boom!”
Finally, after another bomb exploded, the ashes that had been firmly suppressed on the seabed by the divine surge flew up in a wisp under the shock of the explosion.
A facehugger was quick-eyed and quick-handed, and immediately swallowed a wisp of ash along with the sea water into its abdomen.
The ashes hidden deep in the terrifying undercurrent did not kill the facehugger in an instant. Instead, it was actually held in its abdominal cavity and moved backwards all the way, running back like a dog with a ball in its mouth.
This scene, of course, attracted everyone's attention.
Wei Huan stayed here for almost half an hour. There were constant explosions ahead, but no one knew what he was doing.
Now there is finally some different movement, and it is obvious that this action has some answers.
It was Pandit, the Three Kingdoms commander, who was the first to speak up: "Commander Wei, have you found anything?"
Wei Huan still ignored him because he was glaring at Iron Heart.
Wei Huan didn't want to bring the unknown substance into the car, so he asked the facehugger to bring the ashes back and parked it outside the car.
Iron Heart gave its reminder of this, calling those ashes "the ashes of billions of years."
Is this the answer I want?
Billions of years of ashes? Even if you dig up any dirt on Earth, it's still billions of years old, okay?
This was not the answer Wei Huan wanted.
Mu Zhong was also communicating with Iron Heart. After a while, he breathed a sigh of relief and said to Wei Huan, "Done."
Wei Huan raised his eyebrows.
Mu Zhong said, "Dig a little deeper and use the same method, and you'll find the real thing."
Wei Huan curled his lips and looked at Iron Heart deeply, but said to Mu Zhong: "Thank you for your hard work."
Now that he knew the method, it was easy to deal with. For the next period of time, Wei Huan did the same thing, continuing to blast deeper regardless of the losses, and occasionally transporting the ashes back using facehuggers.
It was not until Wei Huan blasted down more than 500 meters that he could notice the abnormality without the reminder of Iron Heart.
I didn't expect that a white object would appear deep in the ashes.
"I'm at the bottom?" Wei Huan was a little surprised. This world was like a section of the ocean covered by a transparent glass tank. He always thought that there would be an air wall separating the seabed and the sea surface. He didn't expect that he could actually blast the rocks.
Of course, this stone must be extraordinary. It appeared here and was unharmed by the terrifying divine surge, and the explosion of the Netherfire Bomb did not leave any trace. Perhaps it was some kind of natural treasure.
"It's not the bottom." But Mu Zhong answered him like this, and then said with a dazed expression, "This is the corpse of a god."
"!!" Wei Huan was speechless for a moment.
The pupils of several criminals who were acting as anchors on the side suddenly contracted. They had a lot to say but knew that now was not the time to speak. They could only look at each other and saw the shock in each other's eyes.
This matter was serious, but Mu Zhong would not hide it from those around him, so he explained: "Actually, from the beginning, I had a guess. What does this map look like?"
When Mu Zhong said this, coupled with the "divine corpse" just mentioned, the answer was already obvious.
The sixth-level world is basically a coffin!!
Of course, coffins are something only humans have. In the current confrontation between different civilizations and dimensions, it is impossible for different types of races to have the same cultural heritage as humans, and gods are even less likely to have that.
But one guess is certain, whether it is the appearance of the divine corpse or this enclosed space, this is a world hiding a big secret.
This also explains why the plant-like civilization with strong vitality, such as the descendants of the deceivers, have been reduced to dominated cattle and horses in this world, while the dead humans not only "came back to life" after the invasion, but also retained some of their previous strength.
What exactly is a god? At what level does one need to be considered a god? Wei Huan didn't know, but this corpse, dead for who knows how many years, still possessed the ability to manipulate energy even after death. It was hard to imagine how powerful it was when it was alive.
Then, the awe and shock in Wei Huan's heart slowly receded, and he began to think about what this divine corpse could give him and what benefits it could bring to mankind.
The corpse of a god is truly valuable! Even plucking a single hair from it would be a treasure trove. Furthermore, this world is built upon the corpse of a god. If humanity were to construct its first major city on this corpse, would it impact human development? And how much of its energy could humanity borrow? These are all things we need to understand.
When in doubt, look for a heart of steel.
Wei Huan didn't even need to speak. Just looking at Mu Zhong's dazed look, he knew that he was already communicating with Iron Heart.
The couple had the same habit of taking advantage of others, and how could they miss out on such a huge fortune right before their eyes?
However, the communication did not seem to be going smoothly, and Mu Zhong had not yet told them what to do next.
Wei Huan couldn't wait any longer, so he ordered the undead army to attack and try to dig out a piece of "meat".
Although the divine surge was thick and solidified, it was not completely without fluidity. Wei Huan had dug such a big pit, and the divine surge was constantly flowing down. Wei Huan could only continue to use the Nether Fire Bomb and let the two-headed hidden demon with the strongest attack power go to those white objects and try to dig something out.
Totally useless.
The white object was as hard as steel, and his attack on the strongest two-headed hidden demon was like a plastic toy played by a child in front of it, unable to hurt the corpse at all.
Wei Huan will not arrange anyone to go there. He will just recruit the undead after they die. Humans do not need to take such a risk.
There was really no other way, he could only interrupt Mu Zhong and Iron Heart's conversation, hoping for a bloodthirsty blessing.
Mu Zhong said, "It's useless. The god's shell cannot be destroyed. Let's find another place to enter."
Mu Zhong looked at Wei Huan and continued, "Also, the divine corpse is the cornerstone of this world and is destined to be unshakable. At least until we have the ability to destroy the world, it is impossible to move this divine corpse."
Wei Huan frowned: "What about the World Tree?"
Mu Zhong said, "I'm going to say this next. Iron Heart will lead us to search for the key items that can change the status quo, but there will also be fighting there. I'm afraid General Qiao Xi and others are gathered there."
Wei Huan understood Mu Zhong's intention: "You want me to advance to Sequence Six?"
"That's what Ironheart suggested."
"I understand."
As Wei Huan said this, his undead army began to retreat, and at the same time Wei Huan's chariot began to move back.
Wei Huan did not believe in Iron Heart, but believed in Mu Zhong's judgment. Since he thought this was their next step, then that was it.
Wei Huan's silence without explanation caused endless speculation. Until he returned to General Qiao Xi's tank, which was actually an empty shell, Wei Huan only gave an order to stay on standby and left the command room.
He was going to make a breakthrough to Sequence 6. He was only one step away from reaching the goal. Now it seemed that he really had to take this step to gain a foothold in this world.
"Divine Corpse"...
Wei Huan inexplicably felt a sense of urgency again.
It is one thing to speculate that this war of civilizations is controlled by gods, but it is another thing to actually come into contact with gods and discover that gods can also die.
What happened to the gods, supposedly unconnected to humanity? Why did they suddenly drag humanity into a world of challenge? Will humanity's opponents after evolution also be gods? Or are humans merely "weapons of war" cultivated by the gods, like the Gu Kings cultivated by the Gu, whose ultimate purpose is to be used? Is humanity truly advancing according to its own will? Can a free world emerge in the future?
Because he had been to the Dark Beast World not long ago, Wei Huan discovered that his current strength was already completely superior to that of the Dark Beasts, and his sense of crisis had faded a lot. He just thought that if he could upgrade calmly like this, breaking through one world after another, perhaps when he reached the ninth level world, he would be able to break free from his fate and emerge as a butterfly.
But now, as long as he thought about the gods dying at his feet, he couldn't imagine what was happening in the higher world.
He also clearly understood that if he was not strong enough, no matter what happened in the advanced world, the weak would only be bullied.
The same is true for poor civilizations.
Therefore, the achievements so far are not enough, and he still needs more resources to arm himself and the human race.
He also understood one thing, that he must plunder the resources of the dark beasts and seize the resources of all civilizations he encountered. Only by gathering all of these together and arming himself and the human race, can they seize the initiative in the future.
Wei Huan's mind was in turmoil, and it took him longer than usual to enter the Professional Temple.
He sat cross-legged in front of the dark source crystal, and the dark energy was intertwined with the natural energy that filled the entire chariot, just like a dish with good color, fragrance and taste. The dark energy was the main ingredient, and the natural energy was the seasoning, allowing him to improve himself at an extremely fast speed.
In addition, with the seven "seeds of enlightenment" that were planted in him that year, in his urgent desire to become stronger, it was as if they had finally found the soil for germination and broke out of their shells. He could even clearly feel how fast he was growing.
In the tomb world, the undead along the way are controlled by the 33 points of dark control power of the Book of Death and the Ring of Mofidi, and they pay homage along the way. Now Wei Huan no longer needs to waste time recruiting the undead.
Thinking that many two-headed hidden demons had been sacrificed today, Wei Huan consumed some of his dark power and summoned some two-headed hidden demons.
The remaining dark power was for emergency use. He did not forget the environment he was in. The Iron Heart clearly reminded him that if he wanted to "gain benefits", he had to fight, so it was important to maintain full energy and spirit.
Wei Huan, immersed in the feeling of dark energy, was unaware of the passage of time, nor was he aware that some people, out of greed, had developed inappropriate thoughts.
The chariot of the Liba Kingdom returned after only half a day. At that time, Wei Huan's chariot had returned to its original place. The chariot captain of the Liba Kingdom, who thought everything was normal, quietly returned to the convoy.
However, the captains of the three countries soon contacted the captain of the Fence Country privately and told him everything that had just happened.
The Fence Country driver's first reaction after hearing this was, "Are you saying that Wei Huan discovered new resources and didn't tell us about them? He has no intention of giving us any of them?"
Pandit said: "At least for now, the information is blocked. We don't have any information about what is deep in the sea."
The conductor from Fence Country asked, "Guess what it is?"
Pandit shook his head. "We've been bombing for two hours now, and Facehuggers have been returning. Perhaps they're also trying to figure out what these things are for. General, what should we do? General Joshi's chariot is completely silent. The AI on Wei Huan's chariot is known to have the highest authority. How could it take three days to crack the chariot's password?"
The Fence Country captain nodded. "It's indeed very suspicious. What do you think we should do next? We should force our way through that energy landing vehicle? Or explore the seabed for secrets? Of course, we can also wait where we are and wait for the little bit of charity from his hand. But I think we have the same idea. If he can do it, why can't we?"
The captain of the Sanguo team didn't say anything, but his eyes looking down had already given the answer.
"For General Qiao Xi, for everyone's rights, those are all excuses!" The resources Wei Huan brought back from the Dark Beast Plane attracted countless people's attention. It wasn't that they wanted to oppose Wei Huan, but the resources were unowned, so whoever grabbed them would own them. It was that simple.
Now they are standing in front of the "treasure mountain", but they have to show their gentlemanly manners and hand over the treasure. It is not that easy!
Why would you pick up the leftovers from Wei Huan if you could just arm yourself with the resources you get, and then arm your country with the extra resources?
The driver of the Fence Country and Pandit looked at each other and understood each other's hearts.
They smiled in tacit understanding, then turned around and made their own arrangements.
"Wei Huan is not sure what he's doing. His chariot is completely covered in iron, making it completely inaccessible to our intelligence personnel. Our actions might provoke a reaction from him."
"It's impossible for our actions to escape his surveillance. Instead of being sneaky, we should do the opposite."
"You mean direct action?"
"That's right. It's a sudden move. Even if he finds out, it doesn't matter. Don't forget, the Land Reclamation Corps hasn't been officially established yet, and we haven't joined his so-called Land Reclamation Alliance. I don't believe he dares to take action."
"That's right, he won't take action. Although Wei Huan is a strong and overbearing person, he is kind and law-abiding towards his own people. His bottom line will not let him take the initiative to attack."
"That's it. We'll make our move later at dinner time. They won't be able to react in time. By the time Wei Huan sends us the message, we might have already arrived at the location. I'm sure this place isn't far from there."
"Tell me again, in detail, the entire process of Wei Huan's exploration of the seabed. Don't miss a single detail. We need to infer the methods he used and the strength of the treasure."
"good……"
Wei Huan was not aware of these people's plans. He had the ability to monitor all the chariots, but there was no need to do so.
Especially this kind of idiot, even if he found out, he would just sneer. He would feel sorry for every challenge car that died, but he would never sympathize with this kind of idiot who was looking for death.
He should let some people know that what he can do doesn't mean others can do it. The resources he brought back from the Dark Beast Plane weren't luck or stolen, but were fought back with integrity! He dug up the Dark Beast King's lair and took it back!
Wei Huan was at the final breakthrough moment and was concentrating on practicing.
In order to ensure that Wei Huan's advancement goes smoothly, Mu Zhong temporarily closed the Dark Source Training Room. Only Wei Huan was inside. It was absolutely quiet and the energy was absolutely rich.
Mu Zhong continued to preside over the affairs on the chariot. He also called the most core members and informed them of the information about the divine corpse and the divine surge.
Everyone was naturally shocked by this, but soon became excited again. Some even said, "If there really are gods in this world, does that mean we can become gods in the future?"
"That depends on your definition of a god. To ants, aren't we as powerful as gods? I believe that so-called gods are the pinnacle of our evolution, perhaps even more powerful, but certainly not capable of creating the world as described in myths and legends."
"No, no, no, creating the world isn't that difficult. If we build a nest for ants, aren't we also creating a world for them? So I think our goal hasn't changed. We only talk about evolution, not gods."
"That's right. I firmly believe that man can conquer nature. If there are gods controlling humanity above our heads, that would be unacceptable. In our Daxia civilization, that would require a fight to the heavens!"
"Hahahaha, right, right! It hit me the wrong way!"
Jacques was confused. His eyes, which had been excited since the beginning, became terrified because of the conversation between his companions. After struggling to understand for a long time, he became even more surprised.
"You mean to... Oh, God, no, we will be punished."
"Lao Ke, put aside your capitalist mentality. Don't always find yourself a father before you can relax. If they can become gods, why can't I? My destiny is in my own hands. Only with this kind of thinking can you truly become big and strong. Otherwise, you will always be someone else's beast of burden."
Xu Qingqiang put his arm around Jacques's shoulder and smiled, "Do you know why you came here? Don't you know deep down that you've been treated unfairly? It's the people behind Osham who are trying to control you, so you came here?"
Congratulations, you have awakened! We must take charge of our own lives! "
Jacques didn't say anything, but just blinked his big, kazilan eyes, looking very innocent.
Mu Zirui smiled gently and said to Jacques from the other side: "The Taoist spirit of our country is actually worth studying. What is the Taoist spirit? I will tell you in detail later.
Now I think one goal that you can't refuse is that we ourselves try to become gods, or at least become humans in the eyes of ants, right?"
Jacques continued blinking, his perspectives being shaken, but he knew full well that he did not dislike this change.
Just like Xu Qingqiang said, he appeared here because he was unwilling and angry.
If he doesn't try to change and accept new ideas, his behavior of coming here will become extremely ridiculous.
Just as they were imagining the future, Mu Zhong, who was smiling and listening to everyone's opinions, suddenly changed his expression and frowned deeply.
Then he sneered: "Someone is looking for death. I really don't know whether I should save them."
