Zero sat in the center of the virtual online conference room, his figure surrounded by a gentle aura of psychic energy. The entire conference room was a deep blue virtual realm, like an endless starry sky, with slowly rotating points of light, outlining an immersive scene. Around him, six familiar virtual projections slowly emerged: Shadow Killer, Black Tortoise Guardian, Gu Master, Sky Sword Armor, and Wandering Feather Sword Armor, each with a distinct individuality. Shadow Killer was shrouded in a dark cloak, only his two cold eyes flickering faintly beneath the cloak; the Black Tortoise Guardian's avatar resembled a moving fortress, clad in heavy armor; the Gu Master was ethereal and eerie, with countless tiny rune chains floating around his projection; the Sky Sword Armor and Wandering Feather Sword Armor's avatars appeared even more ethereal and sharp, emanating a fierce sword aura, perfectly fitting their names.
"It's simple," Zero's voice broke the brief silence. His voice was low and forceful, and his gaze slowly swept across the six virtual projections. Each one felt an invisible sense of oppression. This wasn't a pressure from cultivation or psychic power, but rather the trust and prestige accumulated through countless battles. His finger slid across the virtual desktop, bringing up a projected map showing Yunxuan Star's psychic network. Large areas were covered in scarlet markings.
"The psychic network of Yunxuanxing was paralyzed by the poison of Baixing Sect. The poison not only corroded the psychic nodes, but also absorbed the network energy in reverse and poured it into the mother insect system of Baixing Sect. And their purpose is to help Mingxuanzi break through to the God Transformation Stage." Zero's voice was calm, but every word was like a wake-up call ringing in everyone's hearts.
For a moment, a suffocating silence descended upon the conference room. Everyone's virtual projection froze, as if the weight of the news was too much for them to digest. Rumors of the poisonous insect had already sparked widespread discussion online, but hearing the actual intelligence and learning firsthand the Hundred Star Sect's true intentions still left them stunned.
"Hundred Star Sect?" Shadow Killer spoke first, his voice low and husky, a hint of caution in his tone. "Are you sure the information is true? Are they really planning to use Yunxuanxing's spiritual energy to pave the way for Mingxuanzi to break through to the Divine Transformation Realm? A plan of this scale... is simply insane."
Zero nodded and reached up again, pulling up data he'd intercepted online, showing the Mother Gu's spread trajectory and analyzing the energy flow at several key psychic nodes. "This is the intelligence I've acquired through the psychic network. You can clearly see that the Mother Gu has already eroded over 70% of Yunxuan Star's psychic nodes. This isn't just a simple invasion, but a complete energy raid. And Mingxuanzi is the central figure in this plan. His goal is to harness the entire planet's psychic energy to forcibly reach the Divine Transformation Stage."
Sky Sword Armor (Ling Ruoxi) broke the silence that had descended once again. A faint light flickered within her virtual projection, revealing her inner turmoil. Her tone was hesitant. "Zero, you're right. The Baixing Sect has indeed gained control of the psychic network, but have you ever considered that they're no ordinary small sect? According to the intelligence I've gathered, most of their elders and disciples are at the Foundation Establishment stage or above, and Ming Xuanzi is even a half-step god-transformation cultivator. How can ordinary players like us fight them?"
You Yu Jian Jia (Ling Ruochen) took over, a hint of worry in his tone: "Sister, you're right. The Bai Xing Sect is a behemoth in reality, and they can't be underestimated in the virtual network. I heard that their virtual defense network is extremely complex. Even if we have a technological advantage, can we really break through their defenses?"
Zero listened to the two's words, a sneer playing on his lips. His gaze swept across each virtual avatar on the screen. His voice was low, yet brimming with confidence. "You're right. In reality, the Hundred Star Sect is indeed a formidable force. Their cultivation, resources, and background far exceed our imaginations. But don't forget, this is a virtual network, a spiritual battlefield. In this realm, strength is never determined by cultivation level, but by skill and coordination."
He paused, his voice growing firmer. "In reality, they may be able to run rampant, but within the psychic network, this no longer applies. As long as we find a breakthrough, even the most powerful of their defenses will have weaknesses. Don't forget, we're not ordinary players—in the spiritual realm battlefield, we're a team. We've turned the tide of battle countless times before, and we know how to trust each other and fight together."
Zero's eyes were cold and focused, and his words carried an irresistible force. He didn't use any harsh words, but they reminded everyone of the times they had fought side by side on the virtual battlefield.
The Gu Master's virtual projection suddenly raised its head. His voice was slightly hoarse, and he held a sinister smile that was unique to him. "Zero is right. The Hundred Star Sect may be powerful, but it's not like we haven't fought tough battles on the virtual battlefield before. If I can find a way in, I don't mind teaching those self-righteous guys a lesson."
The Gu Master (Bai Zang) snorted coldly, his eyes narrowing slightly. Rune chains swirled around his virtual projection, slithering like venomous snakes. His voice was cold and tinged with anger, almost enough to freeze the air. "Those guys stole my Gu technology and used it for this shady scheme. Now I'm being hunted throughout the Chaos Realm. I've long wanted to settle this score."
His voice, like a sharp knife, pierced the depths of everyone's consciousness. Everyone knew that Bai Zang's Gu technique was unique within the virtual network. He could combine psychic energy with code to create self-evolving Gu programs. It was by stealing this technology that the Baixing Sect created the poisonous Gu, a weapon used to control the Yunxuanxing psychic network. Bai Zang's anger over this matter had long been no secret, but now, it had been compressed into an extremely dangerous force, waiting to be unleashed.
