Chapter 304: True Self and True Instrument
"...The chariot is still there, the beacon is still there, Commander Wei is safe now." Cousin Mu finally came to this conclusion in a secret high-level meeting of the legion.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief after hearing these last words.
In fact, everyone knew early on that Commander Wei was still alive. After all, the chariot they lived in was still there, and the Challenge World would not leave his chariot to a dead person.
However, Commander Wei's life and death are closely related to humanity, and coupled with the personal feelings these veteran crew members have for him, they naturally have to wait until the final definite conclusion is reached before they can truly relax.
But the next key point is where is Commander Wei and how to rescue him?
Cousin Mu knew that everyone wanted to hear his next report, so he continued, "For the past ten months or so, I have been responsible for observing the World Tree, including monitoring its growth into the fog as it broke through the world's limitations.
It is now certain that the World Tree does have the ability to break through the limitations of the world, and that Commander Wei and Major General Mu left this world through the World Tree. Dou Lin also went with them.
Based on the descriptions of the five crew members who had been there, as well as the remaining elements we discovered during our on-site exploration, we can confirm that the elements are very similar to the "Void Worm" that appeared after the Gambler Sequence reached Sequence Seven, that is, a kind of spatial channel.
The gambler captain on the chariot had just been promoted to [Sequence Six: Flash] not long ago, and he had the most say at this moment.
"Indeed, after reaching Sequence Six, I gained the ability to travel through space and roam in dimensional space. Therefore, I have deduced from this that the reason Sequence Seven is named "Sky Worm" is because we can penetrate space.
I am absolutely certain that the force that took Commander Wei away was a spatial ability similar to the Sky Bug."
Cousin Mu said: "The Gate of the World can be regarded as a customs road. Passing through the Gate of the World allows us to enter the next world smoothly and smoothly.
But the Kongzi worm is different. It's an illegal crossing. Or we can think of it as a ball punctured by a needle. Because it's not a legitimate way, there will be a moment of pressure release, so..."
"Minister Mu, just tell me the result. Can we use the same method to go to Commander Wei's place?" Xu Qingqiang couldn't stand such a popular science explanation. He only cared about what he cared about most.
He looked at Cousin Mu steadily, with an expression that said, "If you give me the nod, I will set off immediately."
Cousin Mu opened and closed his mouth twice, and finally said simply, "Okay."
"Then..." Xu Qingqiang was about to stand up.
"But you can't go!" Cousin Mu stopped him in a higher voice. "There are other people involved in the rescue work, and the development of the Level 6 world can't stop. Commander Wei and General Mu are leaving together, and you have to take on the responsibility of resisting the impending monster siege. I'll find someone else to go there."
Xu Qingqiang stared at cousin Mu for a long moment, then suppressed his anger and lit a cigarette for himself. Then, puffing out smoke, he asked calmly, "How? Who will go?"
"The following is the main point I want to talk about," said Cousin Mu. "The Gambler Sequence has already begun to explore the ways of space. They will be much safer if they pass through the passage through the World Tree. I would also like to recommend a sequence to participate in this mission. This sequence also involves space and may even be more suitable for this mission. After all, the World Gate should also be their work."
"Hmm?" Xu Qingqiang raised his eyebrows, a smoky look of cruelty in his eyes. His fingers were already tapping the table impatiently. "Don't keep me in suspense. Just tell me. What time is it? What if there's danger over there?"
Cousin Mu was also a little angry. If Xu Qing hadn't interrupted him, he would have finished speaking long ago.
But now was not the time to argue, so he suppressed his anger and said, "It's the driver sequence.
The pilot's sequence eight: the plane shuttle, in fact, challenge the world and convey a message to us from the very beginning.
When we advance to a certain level, traveling between planes will become a very common thing.
However, before this incident, we had always speculated that the plane travel was between the Dark Beast Plane or different challenge worlds, but now it seems that in the future we will travel to more than just these.
In short, this rescue operation will primarily focus on the gamblers and pilots who are new to space elements. I also suggest that Thor lead this operation; with his talent, he can avoid a lot of trouble."
When Thor's name was mentioned, everyone remembered this person and hurriedly looked at the person sitting in the crowd but who had no sense of existence at all.
Then I felt a little worried.
This talent is invincible, but it's not entirely good. For example, when a team leader is in a situation where his talent kicks in, the others will forget they even have a leader, which can easily lead to stagnation or confusion in the mission.
Hammer Brother spoke up for once, "Minister Mu approached me to confirm this operation, and I agreed. After reaching Sequence 7 and becoming Empress Wu, my aura will be able to bind a team of approximately three to five hundred people, reducing their presence. Regardless of who's facing us, I'm confident I can find Commander Wei and bring everyone back with me."
"Fuck." Xu Qingqiang cursed first, "Next time we fight, try to hook up with me."
Hammer: “…”
I don't know if it was because of Hammer's increased power, now able to be used by a group, or because of Xu Qingqiang's inappropriate words, but the atmosphere in the conference room suddenly relaxed, and many people couldn't help but smile.
After the atmosphere was no longer tense, it was easier for Cousin Mu to say what he wanted to say next.
"The reason why the Space Department was assigned to carry out this mission is because they have to bear the pressure when they go there, and they also need to carve out a space channel when they return. They are indispensable.
Because we are uncertain about the situation over there and the possible risks of traveling through space, this time it is suitable for a small team operation, and the number of people should not exceed 100.
In addition, we must also try to send the tanks over. The tanks are our personal space. Without them, we will be in a crisis of material shortages..."
Cousin Mu's arrangement was not without fault, but General Mu Dehao added, "If I remember correctly, the report mentioned that Dou Lin also went along and left behind a stellar force at the passage, right?"
Cousin Mu looked at Mu Dehao puzzledly and nodded: "Yes."
General Mu Dehao looked at the others and said, "I have a fairly good understanding of the Diviner sequence. I can tell you that what Dou Lin left behind was not the power of the stars, but the star chain."
"Starlink?"
"Yes, by following the star chain you can travel through space to find them, or you can follow the star chain back."
Xu Qingqiang pondered this with trepidation: "This is strange. This guy usually avoids the boss, so why did he come to deliver food that day? And why did he leave the Starlink at such a time? Did he know this would happen? Then why didn't he stop it?"
Mu Dehao smiled and said, “No, fortune tellers are not as simple as you think.
Rather than saying that they control the power of the stars and have the ability to predict the future, it is better to say that they control luck.
It was luck that arranged for him to be there at that time and do that thing, and he will bring luck to others and also to himself."
Therefore, this is the reason why the Mu family is generally not in a hurry. Dou Lin is currently the most powerful fortune teller among humans, also known as the "miracle master". Although his location is not obvious, it is indeed accompanied by luck, and he will follow the guidance of fate to search for a lucky destiny.
There are not many fortune tellers on Blue Star. There are also some people who have awakened as fortune tellers but feel that this sequence has no future, so they choose to give up becoming fortune tellers, but they don’t know what they are giving up.
As for why the government did not force the increase of fortune tellers, it is naturally because if the fortune tellers are lucky, someone will naturally be unlucky.
Fate is unpredictable, and it is better to have fewer of these mysterious professions.
Mu Dehao was doing his duty, and of course it was also because his wife was a fortune teller, and was even once the strongest fortune teller on Blue Star, so he knew fortune tellers very well.
I also know that in order to save her son, the lady forced her to predict his future destiny, which led to her abilities being sealed and her ranking plummeting. Now, because of her daughter, she can't even challenge the world.
If the fortune teller is lucky, someone will be unlucky. If the fortune teller is unlucky, the person she sincerely blesses will be lucky.
After Mu Zhong and Wei Huan got married, their health got better and better, their strength got stronger and stronger, and they even reached their current level. It is unknown how much of this was due to the blessing from their mother, but as parents, they have no regrets, and everything is fine now.
Everyone couldn't understand why Dou Lin, who usually avoided Wei Huan, followed him that day. Other people who were rescued also saw Dou Lin hugging Wei Huan's thighs.
When Mu Dehao learned about it, he first breathed a sigh of relief, and then smiled.
It seems that Wei Huan will benefit greatly from going there this time. Dou Lin's "luck" allowed him to follow him, and at the same time, he also shared his "luck" with Wei Huan and Mu Zhong, leaving behind the star chain in a daze, which is the key clue to find them.
"Then have more fortune tellers..." Xu Qingqiang drew inferences from his example and offered suggestions.
Mu Dehao raised his hand and said, "Fortune tellers are very rare. There are only a handful of level five fortune tellers on the entire Blue Star, and none of them are in this world. If we send a level four fortune teller over, I'm afraid their physical fitness won't be able to withstand the damage of space travel.
I say this just because I hope you can just follow the star chain to find your way there, and Dou Lin will naturally bring you back.
Trust Him."
…
Dou Lin stared blankly at the sky. This was already the sixth day since he came to this world, but he only woke up three days ago, and his injuries only got better today.
So, today was the first time that he saw the night of this world in such a spirit.
It was so beautiful, he had never seen a night like it.
He saw the stars, the moon, the Milky Way, and the vast universe. He bathed in the starlight and could feel the strands of starlight entering his body.
His eyes seemed to have become telescopes, easily penetrating this world and reaching beyond the universe. He traveled among the stars, seeing the splendor of nebulae and the disappearance of planets.
He could also see a string of stars, like a chain, waving to him, telling him to go home...
Mu Zhong and Wei Huan had already stopped what they were doing and stared at Dou Lin, who had fallen asleep and was surrounded by silver light, for a long time.
The two did not dare to talk casually, knowing very well that this was Dou Lin's opportunity. Such an opportunity was rare and they could not disturb him.
But Mu Zhong couldn't hide his curiosity, so he used the private channel set up by Iron Heart to ask, "Is Dou Lin practicing?"
Wei Huan looked at the starry sky above his head, then nodded: "The fortune teller controls the power of the stars and the moon. This world is real. If my real weapon is to condense the netherworld stone and create a divine weapon, then he absorbs the power of the stars."
"Isn't this a god? Cultivating with the power of the stars or something." Mu Zhong said with some anticipation, "You've all found your own direction, now it's just me."
"We can find it."
His ability to refine a true weapon proved that coming to this world wasn't a disaster, but a reward. Just like going to the Dark Beast World, when one's strength was strong enough, one could certainly seize a large amount of resources.
With him around, Mu Zhong’s real weapon won’t be far away.
"We will set off in a few days," said Wei Huan.
"Departure? Where to?" Mu Zhong asked.
"Find a powerful monster and destroy its lair. All the powerful people in this world have the habit of hoarding treasures. Instead of randomly collecting them, it's better to strike at a specific point. After a round, we should have enough materials for the space warehouse."
"Just do it right away?"
"Do we need to have a drink before we start?"
Mu Zhong covered his face and said, "Why do I feel like I'm the villain?"
Wei Huan said, "There are no allies in the war of civilizations. Only one tribe can cross this single-plank bridge. To be kind to them is to be the greatest cruelty to my own people, my family, and my comrades."
Mu Zhong lowered his hand and looked into Wei Huan's eyes steadily, his own gaze also firming. "I was overthinking it. You are not wrong. From the day the Challenge World arrived, our human race was destined to crush all other races and embark on a path of slaughter."
Illuminated by the starlight, Dou Lin, who had practiced all night, had made significant progress. His aura had become much stronger. He probably wouldn't have to stay here for too long before he could advance to Sequence Six.
[God-given], Dou Lin in his previous life was only at this level after he became an adult. In this life, he is about to advance at the age of 10. It makes people jealous just thinking about it.
Wei Huan rested for a night and then went to the bird ghost again.
There is still half a bird left, and he won't leave until he gets it all.
Although the bird's netherworld power is almost drained, there is still some left if you squeeze it out.
Besides, after losing the power of the underworld, the remaining pure spiritual power also made Wei Huan covetous. This thing is very powerful and its strength is stronger than the dark beast royal family. If he can recruit it, he will have another general under his command.
So this time, Wei Huan tried to "communicate" with it.
But soon, his soul tentacles were driven out by the chaotic and manic consciousness.
Wei Huan raised his head and stared at the bird ghost.
It was a soul different from all the undead he had recruited in the past, like a fire. If you didn't extinguish it, you couldn't get it, but if you extinguished it, it would be gone.
But he would definitely not be willing to give up.
After watching for a while, Wei Huan suddenly had an idea. The next second, Sister Crow, like a black phoenix, appeared and circled above his head. Then, with a loud cry, it turned into a black flame and rushed towards the bird ghost.
Since there is no way to recruit them, just eat them directly. If you eat them into your stomach, at least some of them will be left. If you leave them here and don't take them away, you won't get any.
Wei Huan's "good habit" of digging deep underground is still preserved here. In short, as long as he likes something, he will never let it go!
As Wei Huan expected, Sister Crow's attack really stimulated the bird ghost's ferocity, but the netherworld power that had been absorbed for the past few days played the greatest role at this time.
The bird ghost is no match for Sister Crow.
Although Sister Crow was not as big as the bird ghost, she was still beating it down. Her sharp and hard claws pinched the bird ghost's neck fiercely. She lowered her head, grabbed the bird's head with her mouth, and pulled hard.
"Jie——"
The shrill sound spread far and wide. It was clearly a ghost, but it was loud enough for Mu Zhong and Dou Lin to hear it.
Sister Crow had already flown up, dodging the bird ghost's crazy counterattack, circling in the sky, swallowing the bird's head mouthful by mouthful.
It was visible to the naked eye that Sister Crow had grown bigger.
In contrast, the bird ghost controlled by chains looked extremely miserable without its head, but no matter how it roared, it could not fly into the sky.
What made Wei Huan particularly happy was that as the bird head was digested by Sister Crow, one of the red chains from the magic disk that was originally locked on the bird head also disappeared.
Not bad, it really kills three birds with one stone.
Sister Crow's strength increased, and she let out a long cry of joy.
"Yo~~~"
The sound actually escaped from the Netherworld and could be heard in the world.
Then, under Wei Huan's command, Sister Ya turned around and pounced down again.
At this moment, a black spot suddenly appeared in the sky, as if it fell from the sun, turned into a fireball, and hit the ground in an instant.
But the imagined collision of flying sand and rocks did not occur, because the next second after the smoke dissipated, a group of people rushed out from behind the smoke.
The one in front was Hammer, wearing the uniform of the Reclamation Army. He looked at Commander Wei with surprise and said loudly, "Commander Wei, I'm so glad you're safe and sound! I'm leading the special rescue team and reporting in!"
Wei Huan raised his hand, and Dian Ma's protective shield protected them inside.
And he just watched the two birds and beasts fighting madly in front of him from beginning to end, watched the bird ghost roaring helplessly and furiously, watched Sister Crow fight and retreat in the beginning, and then directly bite and devour her now, until she grew a second head, a third head, and even her body became huge to several kilometers long.
Wei Huan's eyes also lit up.
He...seemed to have found the right way to open this world.
"Yo~~"
A cry reached up to the sky and down to the nine springs, penetrated the space and struck Wei Huan's ears, sounding like the sound of nature. However, it shocked everyone else, even Hammer Brother, who was already Sequence Six. His face turned pale, as if he was about to vomit blood.
Sister Crow spun upwards, her wings spread out to cover the sky and the sun, her long feathers fluttered by, and the power of the underworld was so strong that it seemed as if she had arrived in the kingdom of death.
The surrounding space quickly became colder, and gray snow fell from the sky, piling up loosely on the ground. Even though the others hid in the protective shield, they still felt very cold, and the eerie chill penetrated their lungs.
But Wei Huan felt comfortable when he stood outside the protective shield, as if he had returned to the underworld and was surrounded by abundant netherworld power.
His undead army was contaminated by the gray snow, and the Netherworld aura roared, and its strength was obviously improved.
What's this?
Is this a domain?
Being in the domain, the laws are under my control. With the rise and fall of one thing, I can achieve success in everything.
Wei Huan looked at Sister Crow, who was circling and singing with joy above his head, and was certain that Sister Crow had advanced to the pseudo-god level.
He had never imagined before that his second pseudo-god-level undead would be the ghost crow leader, Sister Crow, who could only be used as a scout.
Sister Crow swallowed this unknown bird ghost. Although it still does not have the ability to fight in a physical body, the area where it is located will turn into the Netherworld due to its rich Netherworld power.
In this netherworld, Wei Huan and his undead army would become even more powerful, and their netherworld power recovery would increase a hundredfold. This greatly increased Wei Huan's overall strength. With such strength, even if Wei Huan were to enter an eighth-level world now, he would probably be able to hold his own.
"Congratulations, Commander Wei! Sister Ya's advancement is so powerful, she's like the Nether Phoenix, the best in the Netherworld!"
The person who spoke was the captain of the Gambler Sequence, who was also the deputy captain of this rescue operation. Compared to the taciturn Thor, this Gambler Captain was a talkative person.
By this time, Mu Zhong had already rushed over. When he got closer, he looked at the people who had come here and the five chariots they had brought with them, and asked in surprise, "How did you find this place?"
The gambler captain said, "Dou Lin left the star chain behind, and we easily found this place by following it."
Although Mu Zhong was surprised, he quickly deduced, "So we can go back along the Starlink?"
The gambler captain nodded: "Yes."
Sister Crow flew in the sky for a long time, and the Netherworld energy in the valley became thicker and thicker. The Netherworld energy was cold and not good for the human body. Even though Wei Huan wanted to test its limits, he knew that now was not the time.
With a wave of her hand, the Dark Phoenix transformed by Sister Crow cried out, then turned into a beam of black light and drilled into the other dimension, disappearing from everyone's sight.
The Ghost Crow's talent is to travel between reality and the underworld, and now it can stay in the other dimension even more easily. Moreover, its underworld realm can still be transmitted to the present world, which will improve Wei Huan and the undead army without affecting the level of others.
Of course, if Sister Ya wants to go all out, she has to return to the real world to provide more assistance to Wei Huan.
After doing all this, Wei Huan withdrew his attention and turned to look at the person who came.
The gambler captain was saying, "Boss Mu, do you think we should take you and the boss back now?"
Mu Zhong said, "Will it be troublesome to go back?"
The gambler captain said, "A little, but we are well prepared and can definitely bring you and the boss back."
Mu Zhong thought for a moment and shook his head: "Find a way to send a letter back. We won't go back yet. This world has great opportunities. Once we have figured it out, I'm afraid a large army will be needed to come in."
The gambler captain thought of something and went to see Wei Huan again.
As the core members closest to Wei Huan, they naturally knew the boss's abilities. When they came here, they saw such a huge ghost crow transformed into a three-headed, six-winged divine bird like a phoenix, and could be completely controlled by the boss. They knew that this world was not ordinary.
Chance? Or resources? Thinking about the place that little brat Dou Lin came to even with his thighs, it really is something special.
"No problem, Boss. I'll arrange for the letter to be sent back."
Captain Gambler was very happy, thinking that the rescue operation had turned into a search for resources. When he thought about their "purchase" in the Dark Beast World a year ago, which was so exciting that it made their scalps tingle, he almost laughed out loud.
At that time, he did not know that the opportunities in this world were more precious. What was given was the "true self" and what was obtained was the "real weapon". It was their first step to challenge the control of the world.
