Chapter 328: Joining the Game
Yu Zhuo never returned to the previous ABO world.
Pei Du and the others are still in that world. They have experience fighting against the system before, so they can hold on for a while. In addition, with the secret assistance of the strategy system, the ABO world will not be destroyed so quickly.
The most important things now are the small worlds that have been selected by Tamer.
Resurrecting a dead planet is not as simple as resurrecting a person. It requires enormous energy and the continuous accumulation and even expansion of life to lay the foundation for it.
A planet that has its life drained out will shatter like a dragon, and so will the creatures living on it.
"The life-extracting equipment has been put into use ahead of time. I just checked the values there. It is not realistic to completely destroy them now."
Yu Zhuo walked in the bottomless cosmic rift. He did not look at the red and bold warning words, but walked towards the direction of the dragon clan's desolate planet with a clear purpose.
Zhou Yanshu stayed in the small space of Yuzhuo. He looked outside through a layer of barrier and said calmly, "It won't be long before he finds us. Those small worlds and us may not be able to escape."
Yu Zhuo laughed and said, "Then don't run."
Zhou Yanshu paused, knocked on the space barrier, and asked, "What evil idea are you planning?"
Yu Zhuo didn't answer. He just rubbed his forehead, as if he wanted to use this opportunity to communicate more with Zhou Yanshu.
"Brother, I can't stand being alone. In this crappy place, I'm always alone, and I have to repeat the same operation all the time... It makes me sad just thinking about it."
"Please stay with me." Yu Zhuo gently touched Zhou Yanshu in his consciousness, "I want you to stay with me."
Zhou Yanshu frowned slightly, his face itching from being touched by those mental tentacles, and he turned his body to the side to avoid Yu Zhuo's touch.
"Why didn't you say that before? You always let me run first."
"The past is the past, and the present is the present." Yu Zhuo said clearly, "Now I don't want you to run away first."
Zhou Yanshu snorted, he leaned against the edge of the consciousness space, opened his palms, and let those small corners fit into his palms.
"I didn't plan to run away either." Zhou Yanshu's lips curled up slightly. He held the small spiritual ball in his hand, and in this dark moment, he actually felt a strange sense of satisfaction. "My soul is connected to yours, and we can be together this time."
He didn't say whether they would live together or die together. Yuzhuo pretended not to know and automatically avoided this aspect.
"What about your body?" Yu Zhuo asked, "Don't you want it anymore?"
Zhou Yanshu raised his head and said, "The world is about to be destroyed, who would still care about the body?"
"No, I care." Yu Zhuo quickened his pace and entered the Dragon Planet. He said seriously, "I spent a lot of effort to mark you, but you just don't want it. It's really sad."
Zhou Yanshu: "..."
"I'll add another mark when I have the chance." Yu Zhuo laughed softly, "Did you know that Edrian has a baby worm?"
Zhou Yanshu's eyelashes trembled: "...Really?"
"Yes, it's a little male insect." Yu Zhuo's eyes softened, and he said, "When I was still Prince A'ran, I also wanted to have a little insect with you, but unfortunately my life was too short and I didn't have the chance."
Zhou Yanshu laughed: "When you were A'ran, you were a female insect. How could you give birth to me?"
"That's true." Yu Zhuo said with some sadness, "It's a pity. I'll make up for it later. I'll make up for it later."
The conversation between them was ordinary, like a daily chat. Zhou Yanshu listened to Yu Zhuo's voice in his spiritual space, absorbing his breath and warmth bit by bit.
He knew the purpose of Yu Zhuo's words, and he also knew that he was intentionally changing the subject. Regarding the main system, regarding their present, it was too heavy and full of unknowns.
"Yuzhuo, don't die." Zhou Yan spoke slowly. His voice was calm and his tone remained the same when he spoke, without much ups and downs.
Yu Zhuo stopped talking immediately. He lowered his eyes and continued to listen to Zhou Yanshu's threats: "If you die again this time, I will remarry."
Yu Zhuo: “…”
"You just said you wanted to give birth to a child for me."
Zhou Yanshu ignored him: "You're already dead, why would you care who I'll be with?"
"Ha..." Yu Zhuo felt somewhat helpless. He rubbed Zhou Yanshu's head with his mental tentacles and whispered, "Don't worry, I will be alive. I promise I won't break this time."
Zhou Yanshu was silent for a moment and said nothing more.
It didn't take long for Yu Zhuo to arrive at the Dragon Clan's barren planet. This dead planet was still the same as when he first came here, with piles of yellow sand and flying dust, and countless rotten corpses buried inside.
Yu Zhuo didn't think much about it. He walked through the mud pits and sand on the periphery and approached the center.
"Who is he?" Zhou Yanshu looked out in his spiritual space, and soon saw the relatively intact remains.
Yu Zhuo squatted down. The iris he had buried on the chest of the corpse had already withered. This planet was filled with deathly energy, and the flowers all withered soon after they were placed there.
Yu Zhuo looked at him and said, "Zhi Lan."
Zhou Yanshu paused: "...Zhi Lan?"
He had seen the logo of Zhi Lan in the documents in the main control room.
Zhi Lan is resurrected...
[Yes, he is Zhi Lan. ]
Yu Zhuo did not react when he heard the mechanical sound coming from the side. He seemed to have expected it. He turned his head only when Tamo approached.
There was a hint of fatigue on Tamo's face. He stopped two or three meters away from Yuzhuo, his eyes lingering on Yuzhuo, half real and half fake.
【It's so rare that you come back on your own. 】
Yuzhuo stood up, looked at Tamo, and said calmly: "Even if I don't come back, you will catch me back, right? I might as well save you some time."
【Thank you so much. 】
Tamo curled his eyes, his face turned cold as he finished speaking, and with a wave of his hand, he used the energy chains scattered around to tie up Yuzhuo tightly.
Yu sensed the life energy that was rushing into the planet in an instant, and did not struggle: "Do you really want me to accompany Zhi Lan?"
[This is the meaning of your existence. After the task is accomplished, I will spare your followers. Of course, they will no longer remember you.]
Yu Zhuo sneered: "You drained the little world they lived in, and you still say you spared them?"
【Didn't you just act on your own and move them to another world without permission?】
Tamo was unmoved.
[This is the choice you made for them. From now on, they will all live as mechanical puppets.]
【There is always a price to pay for every gain.】
"Price..." Yu Zhuo lowered his head. He felt the ripples constantly surging in his spiritual sea, suppressing Zhou Yanshu's energy fluctuations bit by bit.
The vitality that flowed into the Dragon Planet continued to increase. The color of the yellow sand gradually changed under the nourishment of energy. The surface was covered with soil, and soon green sprouts emerged from the surface, forming green plants.
The energy in Yuzhuo's body was also extracted in order to unleash his ability to be reborn.
There was a buzzing in his ears, and he could vaguely hear the roar of a dragon coming from afar.
Yu Zhuo's pupils moved, and Tamo's figure had long been covered by the changing scene, forming an electronic phantom. Only the dry bones on the ground were still there, twisted, and arranged to look complete.
Yu Zhuohun felt a sharp pain all over his body, he stared at the corpse and saw that in just a few seconds, flesh and blood grew on the corpse, it was covered with skin, and black hair spread and grew.
The iris flower was still on Zhi Lan's chest, and the flesh and blood grew rapidly. They swallowed the withered flower and mixed it into their lungs and blood.
Yu Zhuo had already seen Zhi Lan's exquisite face. He raised the corners of his lips in pain and met Zhi Lan's golden eyes the moment he opened his eyelids.
"Price... Main system, you have to pay a price too."
Yu Zhuo dispersed all the energy in his body, and the strange floral scent mixed into the air and all penetrated into Zhi Lan's nostrils.
Xi Lan felt a little uncomfortable, his vision was blurred, and he only felt the warm wind around him, blowing on his body and pushing some noise away.
"Backwards..."
He rubbed the corner of his eyes and saw a figure shattered in his blurry vision.
Zhu Lan's heart stagnated. He opened his eyes with all his strength. The white light around him faded away and his vision turned completely dark.
"Backstream!"
The ticking of the clock on the wall sounded slowly, and Zhilan sat up suddenly from the bed. He felt dizzy, frowned, and could vaguely smell the fragrance of flowers.
He felt fear for no reason. He grabbed the quilt and felt around with his eyes wide open.
"Backstream! Backstream! Where are you...Backstream!"
【……I am here.】
