Chapter 474 Baby Bus
Chaos Source: Abyss
There is not a trace of light in this dark world. The chaotic force representing disorder, rage and chaos exists in this world like air. It has become a forbidden space that even the rulers have been reluctant to talk about for countless epochs.
But no one knows when it started, the abyss no longer only contains the power of chaos, but also another power that permeates this "pure" world like the venom of a poisonous snake.
The energy of the law of darkness, like surging thick ink, filled the world.
In this extremely dark world, a group of evil beasts swam like fish in water, with no reaction to the existence of dark energy. It was obvious that they had completely adapted to this invading energy.
But if you look deeper into the abyss, into the space where even evil beasts cannot enter, you will find that the corpses of evil beasts are piled up like a mountain of corpses and a sea of corpses.
Those countless level five evil beasts feared by the gods are like a mass of rotten meat that can neither die nor live. Relying on the powerful power of their souls, they continue to grow tangled flesh buds, but are quickly corroded by the power of darkness, emitting painful howls, day after day, year after year.
In this way, the power of resentment accumulated and condensed downwards, just like the corrosion of strong acid on iron, burning through the space deep underground into a funnel shape like a nail.
The deeds went in little by little.
On this day, a blurry beast-shaped shadow appeared in the sky above this evil beast pit. The figure went from blurry to clear, and it was the Lord of Darkness.
He stared at the beast pit with trepidation, lowering his whole body in an extremely respectful posture. Even his tail hung obediently to the side, not daring to swing it at all to avoid any misunderstanding.
Time passed little by little, and He maintained this posture for a long, long time, until a terrifying pressure surged up from the deepest part of the beast pit.
He lowered His body even lower.
The rotten flesh of the evil beast gathered together and seemed to swell up, gradually forming the facial features of some kind of animal.
The tangled flesh, growing tentacles, and eyes without pupils looked extremely hideous.
He opened his huge mouth and made a buzzing sound: "Not enough...evil beast...more..."
The Lord of Darkness said in panic: "Emperor, our plan has encountered an unexpected problem."
The shaking giant face froze for a moment, then suddenly bulged upwards, its mouth almost swallowing the Lord of Darkness in one gulp: "Accident?"
"Yes, it was an accident." The Lord of Darkness did not dare to resist at all, as if it would not matter even if he was killed directly by the other party. Instead, he respectfully told all his experiences during this period.
It cannot be concealed. The energy of the sacrifice is not enough. The emperor cannot escape. Sooner or later he will know everything. Moreover, this is indeed his dereliction of duty and he must face it head-on.
As expected, the Chaos Emperor was furious before he could even finish his words: "Idiot!"
He let out a roar that made even the abyss tremble. The Lord of Darkness was crushed and deformed by his power, but still did not dare to resist at all. He could only endure the pain and his body trembled slightly.
The Dark Lord's body was burned by the Chaos Emperor's rage, and blood was dripping. Only when he was half dead did the Chaos Emperor's rage subside slightly.
He was thrown aside like a tattered rag, yet he struggled to stand up again and continued in panic, "The lower-level gods have been killed, and a million years of accumulation have been wiped out. We are cultivating new gods, and we only need to wait another million years..."
"Enough!" The emperor's infinitely majestic voice rang out, "I can't wait any longer. It's so long, so long..."
As if he had reached the limit of endurance for extreme pain, the sound that came out of his mouth was accompanied by the sound of gnashing teeth: "Since the lower-level gods are gone, I will use the mid-level gods and the souls of the main gods to sacrifice for your stupid mistake!"
The Lord of Darkness was only shocked and hesitated for a moment before the Emperor's voice rang out again: "Or it's you, you deserve to die!"
The Lord of Darkness was so frightened that he trembled all over and dared not utter a word.
After the Chaos Emperor finished speaking, he seemed to confirm that the situation was far from hopeless. To him, gods were nothing more than leeks that would grow back after one crop was cut. Even the Overlord-level gods were just more advanced "leeks."
When he spoke again, his tone had returned to calm. "I know about that Undead Clan... but shouldn't they have already been destroyed? That overly powerful clan is not tolerated by Heaven, and their leader is so powerful that even we fear him. If a fool like you were to encounter him, how could you survive?"
The Lord of Darkness spoke hastily, "That's right, Your Majesty. This is exactly what I'm confused about. While he's not weak, his strength is far from that of a Lord, and he doesn't match the rumored Undead leader. However, he possesses the most sophisticated core of the Law of Death and possesses extraordinary physical strength. Although my power far exceeds his, I can't trap and kill him. Your Majesty, please guide me, a fool."
The giant face pondered for a few seconds and then said, "The Dark Clan has been silent in the abyss for too long. Let's leave here and go to the Divine Realm to find the answer."
The Dark Lord's eyes suddenly flashed, and his nostrils grew thick with excitement: "You mean, I can leave here..."
"Find the answer, kill him, and I will eventually lead the Dark Clan back to the Divine Realm and rule over all races!"
"The Great Emperor's Fame!"
After the giant face disappeared and the beast pit covered with fleshy growths appeared again before his eyes, the Lord of Darkness stood up and removed the respect from his face.
He turned his head and looked upwards, his whole body trembling with excitement. Finally... after millions of years, he could finally leave this vicious and dark abyss. Although he was in darkness, he yearned for light.
…
Wei Huan once again absorbed a sixth-level soul power. Over the past three years, it only made his ancient god cells fuller, but it still did not reach the limit.
Wei Huan was in a complicated mood.
If there are no accidents and he can practice in peace, he is willing to practice to the extreme and then move on to the next step.
But the reality made it impossible for him to meditate in seclusion. The practice method of waking up once every three years was indeed very painful.
But now that the cultivation has come to an end, I have to do something.
He attacked a level five evil beast nest again, and the Lord of Darkness still arrived as expected. Wei Huan, who had been prepared, turned around and ran without waiting for the other party to arrive. Seeing that the Lord of Darkness did not catch up with him, he destroyed two more level five evil beast nests along the way.
For the last time, the Lord of Darkness almost caught up with Wei Huan, but was once again unable to escape. He roared, "Damn Undead, you are blocking the Emperor's return. You will regret everything you have done. Under the Emperor's leadership, we will slaughter all the Undead. Without Taichu's protection, you are doomed to destruction!"
Wei Huan wanted to say, isn’t what he is doing now to prevent the Chaos Emperor from returning?
Knowing that the Chaos Emperor would return and the human race would inevitably suffer another disaster, he still showed mercy. Isn't this aiding and abetting the evil?
Not to mention stopping the Chaos Emperor from returning, he simply doesn't have the strength to do that. If he had a little more strength, he would have killed this Lord and all the dark gods one by one.
Those who are in jail should just sit there peacefully until they serve their time!
Wei Huan ran fast, even faster than he had three years ago, and the Lord of Darkness soon lost track of him.
He realized something was amiss. He seemed to be being held back. Why was he being held back? This suddenly appearing Undead indeed bore some resemblance to the Undead leader, yet many aspects of him did not align with the rumors.
It seems that I need to leave here and return to the divine realm to find out the truth.
The Lord of Darkness, who had always been worried that Wei Huan would appear again to slaughter the evil beast's lair, finally chose to give up this meaningless behavior after losing Wei Huan again.
Before leaving, he gathered the gods and powerful clansmen under his command and chose to temporarily give up the defense of the evil beast's lair.
Although I don't want to admit it, facing Wei Huan, anyone below the Overlord level is just a serving of food.
After ordering the God of Darkness to strictly guard the "Abyss", especially the "Evil Beast Pit", the Lord of Darkness left the base camp and opened a road to the divine realm far away from the "Abyss".
The passage opened, and the pure and clean power of the law surged in. The Lord of Darkness was like crawling out of a "cesspool" and finally breathing fresh air. At that moment, he was extremely uncomfortable, and his body even produced a strong resistance. The power of chaos was also "encircled" by the law, and his body was torn into pieces with blood.
The Lord of Darkness had no choice but to sit cross-legged in the passage, slowly adapting to the opposing, mutually destructive laws of the two worlds...
…
As for Wei Huan, after once again getting rid of the Lord of Darkness, he once again chose a place he thought was safe, set up many restrictions, and began to retreat.
Naturally, he had not thought about the Dark Lord at this moment to "find" his past. The exposure of the human race was only a matter of time.
He immersed himself in cultivation, feeling the soul power transformed by the gods. The abundant power was evenly absorbed by the cells of the ancient god's body.
During this process, the ancient god's body cells have swelled like a balloon filled with air. At the same time, the vortex in the balloon is almost touching the cell wall. The feeling of being able to break through at any time makes people feel endless urgency, and they can't wait to practice to the next stage in one breath.
It’s a pity that after absorbing this soul power, he still didn’t change.
"There are already five, and one of them comes from a mid-level god." Wei Huan said to Mu Zhong, with some anxiety between his brows. He was a little uneasy. The feeling was very strong. As a god, he would not ignore his sixth sense.
"I don't feel right." Wei Huan said.
"Perhaps it's because my godhood is too low to foresee the crisis." Mu Zhong attached great importance to Wei Huan's words. "I don't know what the problem is, but if you can sense it and I can't, it means the crisis comes from a threat at least at the level of a major god, which is why I was unaware of it."
"No, not at the Lord God level, but at the Overlord level, or even the Great Emperor," Wei Huan said confidently. "Perhaps we made a mistake. We shouldn't show up every three years. Constantly tightening the screws will make the enemy nervous. We're overemphasizing our presence."
"I understand what you mean, but we can't predict everything, not to mention that our opponent is the Overlord." Mu Zhong frowned and thought, "We must have overlooked something. We must find it quickly, otherwise the crisis will escalate."
After a while, Mu Dian frowned and opened his eyes: "How about I check the timeline?"
"No, no need." Wei Huan shook his head, his eyes clear, "I know where the problem lies."
"What is it?"
"My strength has not reached the level of the Dead Soul Huan. This is my biggest flaw. The Lord of Darkness should have reacted to it."
Mu Zhong's pupils shrank. "Did he leave the Chaos Source Rift?"
Wei Huan nodded: "Just try it and you'll know."
"That's right. To kill a Level 5 Nest Xue, just seeing Him appear is enough."
"What if he doesn't show up?"
After Wei Huan asked this, he looked at Mu Zhong. Both of them avoided each other's gazes, as if they were struggling to weigh the pros and cons.
Finally, Mu Zhong said, "This crisis may not be an opportunity. If the Lord of Darkness dares to leave, He must regret it."
Wei Huan was still hesitating. He couldn't gamble the entire human race against the Lord of Darkness.
Mu Zhong said, "I can't see the thread of fate, but I have traveled through countless timelines to finally meet you here. Trust your own judgment. Everything must be for the best."
At this moment, a white figure gathered around Wei Huan and Mu Zhong.
Seeing the newcomer, even though they both had distinguished pasts, they still respectfully called out, "Teacher."
The remnant soul of the Lord of Light nodded in response, and then said, "I heard everything you said, don't worry, things are not that bad yet.
I have studied these fallen dark gods. They are like monsters soaked in poison. Although they have the ability to survive here, the power of chaos has not only deprived them of their sanity, but also deprived them of the qualification to survive in the realm of gods.
It's not easy for the Lord of Darkness to return to the divine realm. If He is truly gone, this is the opportunity God has given you."
Wei Huan and Mu Zhong's eyes lit up, and then a strong murderous intent appeared in their eyes.
Mu Zhong said, "Then try it as soon as possible. If He doesn't come, this will be a godsend."
Wei Huan nodded.
Wei Huan's consciousness clone dissipated in the ancient god world and woke up from his original body.
This time, when he once again started fighting against the nest of the fifth-level evil beast, his mentality was completely different.
He hoped that the Lord of Darkness would not appear. He must seize this opportunity to nip in the bud all threats that might affect the development of the human race.
With the destruction of the fifth-level evil beast's lair, Wei Huan took all the fifth-level soul power into his hands and prepared to leave at any time.
As time passed, his eyes became brighter and brighter.
As expected, the Lord of Darkness did not appear.
“He didn’t come.”
"It seems like He really did go to the divine realm."
"Don't be careless, you can try a few more times."
"Yes, it's better to be careful."
The voices of Mu Zhong and his teacher rang in his ears. Wei Huan nodded and could not wait to launch an attack on the other two nearby evil beast nests.
When the two beast lairs became ruins and the dust settled, the dark god who never appeared explained everything.
The remnant soul of the Lord of Light stroked his beard and smiled, "Indeed, he went to the Divine Realm to investigate the truth about you and the Undead."
Mu Zhong raised a question: "Is it possible that he is still hiding in the abyss? Perhaps he has made some unusual moves?"
"You have to try it anyway, right? Or do you want to miss this opportunity?" asked the remnant soul of the Lord of Light.
Mu Zhong was actually a little hesitant. He was always worried about Wei Huan and any risks he might take. This was a form of worrying, and he knew it was wrong, but he couldn't help it.
Until Wei Huan said: "The third Chaos Zerg can protect me. I have an 80% chance of escaping the abyss unscathed this time."
An 80% chance of success is already a conservative statement. The third Chaos Zerg exists to deal with this kind of environment. Chaos-level Zerg are equivalent to Overlord-level. Although they are the weakest Overlord-level, they cannot be stopped by ordinary gods.
Moreover, the "talent points" of this chaos worm are extremely different, and its special ability of taking the "evil path" is definitely beyond the reach of the dominant gods.
Wei Huan even suspected that an emperor who was not good at similar abilities might not be able to defeat the third chaos worm on this "track".
"Come out."
As Wei Huan spoke, a portal opened behind him and a small round black head popped out from it.
This one doesn't look big, only two meters wide, much smaller than the Zerg's body length of more than ten to twenty meters. Even compared to the water droplets that are known for their speed, it is far inferior.
It has six eyes on its round head, three on each side, arranged from large to small, which is a very obvious insect feature.
But because of its round head, dark round eyes, no mouth, and only two small round nostrils, this head can be described as "cute".
It poked its head out of the portal, its eyes rolling around as if it was taking in the surroundings. It looked a little timid, without the ferociousness typical of the Zerg.
Then it set its gaze on Wei Huan, a friendly expression appeared in its eyes, and then it rushed out of the portal.
When its plump white body was revealed, Mu Zhong's voice rang out in his ears: "The third Chaos Worm is a maggot?"
Wei Huan denied it: "No, I should say its design concept is more like the queen ant."
Mu Zhong looked at it carefully a few more times and found that there were legs between its round head and fat white body, but he ignored them at first because they were too short.
Moreover, dominant life forms do not need legs to move, just as they can fly with or without wings. The existence of this leg is more like an evolutionary failure that has been deliberately shrunk because it is not needed, but cannot be completely eliminated.
Its white and fat body is about 15 meters long and about 5 meters wide, so it looks very big and has a very small head, giving people a feeling of being extremely fat and clumsy.
In fact, the way it moves is like a maggot wriggling, very slowly.
"So what's its use?"
Mu Zhong looked at the Chaos Worm, which had now completely crawled out of the portal and was turning its round head to look left and right. It was hard to imagine what abilities this form could give it.
Wei Huan smiled and nodded to the chaos worm.
The piece of flesh on the Chaos Worm's soft white body, closest to Wei Huan, opened to both sides like a door, revealing a passage.
The passage was bright and clean, and it emitted a bright light. When Wei Huan walked into the passage, the power of space began to descend. Although the space was only about five meters wide, Wei Huan felt like he was walking into a hall.
From here on, it no longer feels like we are inside the body of a living being.
Mu Zhong, who was watching, suddenly felt a force coming from Wei Huan.
He did not resist and followed the power, leaving Wei Huan's body and coming to the outside world.
As he imagined, the power of chaos did not descend, and he could not feel anything abnormal.
"This is?"
Mu Zhong looked around. This place looked like the interior of a spaceship. They were standing in the hall of the spaceship, which was larger than a football field. The entire space was brightly lit, as if it were made of rare white jade.
These "white jade stones" should be the flesh of the chaos worm, which blocks the power of chaos.
"It's like a chariot." Mu Zhong said, not feeling surprised. The other space opened in the body can block the pollution from the outside world. Chaos-level insects can do it easily.
Then Mu Zhong looked at Wei Huan who was standing next to him, "Anything else?"
Wei Huan looked at those "white jade stones" with a look of satisfaction. As soon as he thought about it, the whole world began to change, shrinking and darkening. When he came to his senses again, the two of them were already sitting in their seats.
Mu Zhong glanced back and forth, surprised: "Second-level tank? Its ability is transformation?"
Wei Huan answered the question irrelevantly: "Of all the forms of tanks, my favorite is the second-level tank. It's like a snail carrying its home on the road. There's not much space, and you can bump into each other just by turning around, which brings us closer."
Mu Zhong's heart, eager for an answer, calmed down because of these words. He fell into reminiscence and then smiled, "Indeed, our relationship underwent subtle changes at this stage."
"Yeah." Wei Huan stroked the steering wheel, which now looked very old. Then he lowered one hand, grabbed Mu Zhong's hand and said, "Next stop, Yuan."
As Wei Huan skillfully shifted gears and stepped on the accelerator, the scenery in front of the windshield began to change.
Mu Zhong felt it for a moment and said, "It's almost as fast as my mother. Could it be that its top speed can surpass that of the flying ants?"
"No, speed isn't its forte. Its greatest ability is mimicry and infiltration. The Zerg's unique mimicry allows it to mimic the presence of any living being. At the same time, its inherent spatial power allows it to scale from as large as an aircraft carrier to as small as a speck of dust, achieving complete invisibility from both spiritual and visual perspectives."
Mu Zhong finally understood and praised him endlessly, "That's right! After solving the Zerg combat problem, the Zerg Mimicry is simply a stroke of genius.
It is hard to imagine how strong the Chaos-level Zerg's mimicry would be after giving up all its other abilities. At least the Overlord-level Zerg would never be able to detect it.
No wonder you said you were 80% sure. In my opinion, the success rate of escaping the abyss unscathed is over 90%."
Wei Huan explained: "It's not like it's given up all its abilities. It doesn't have any combat power, but its defense is pretty good. That soft flesh isn't just fat. It not only possesses a myriad of abilities, but also has a powerful ability to absorb attacks and resist damage."
After a pause, Wei Huan said, "As long as you are not trapped by the Domination level and refine repeatedly, even if you are bombarded by the Domination level, it will only be a flesh wound."
After listening to it, Mu Zhong completely fell in love with this bug.
One can hide and become invisible, and can change into a thousand shapes. Most importantly, it is extremely hard and can withstand a lot of beatings. It can completely solve the problem of their days where they can only sleep in the open air on the back of their mother.
Mu Zhong stroked the control panel, and from the seemingly plastic control panel, he felt the unique warmth and delicate touch of a living thing.
"This is a complete biological tank! And its special abilities and adorable appearance are just like, like, the BabyBus? Oh, and have you named it yet? How about calling it the BabyBus?"
Wei Huan: “…”
BabyBus: “…”
I originally wanted to give them simple and easy-to-understand names based on their abilities or appearance, just like naming other Zerg species.
For example, name this bug "Mimicry".
But since Mu Zhong has spoken, how could Wei Huan refute his beloved lover on such a small matter?
The third Chaos Worm got a happy name - Baby Bus.
