Fear, dread...

It was an extreme emotion Padilla hadn’t felt in a long, long time.

So long that He has forgotten the exact time.

It has been so long that His memories and feelings about His past are mostly recalled and understood from a third-party perspective, just like He is watching a movie, completely out of it, with no real sense of involvement, and even His mood is rarely affected.

Anyway.

Long before He was transformed from a fleshly life to a spiritual life.

As the leader of the entire tribe.

He already holds great authority and considerable power, so he basically has nothing to fear.

then.

There are only two things that can scare Him.

one:

Death, in every sense of the word.

Homicide, death from illness, natural death, accidental death...

It all frightened Him.

But that kind of thing is not worth being surprised about.

Because the fear of death itself is the basic instinct of life.

So He never felt ashamed of it. He just thought that fearing death was a very normal thing and not something to be surprised about.

and.

At that time, the idea that He feared death as a living being was itself one of the basic driving forces for His continuous progress.

That huge feeling of fear constantly spurred Him forward, forcing Him to successfully break through numerous difficulties and discover the key point for flesh and blood creatures to reach [spiritual ascension]. In this way, he could lead the entire race to get rid of the various difficulties brought by flesh and blood and become one of the many transcendents, able to safely and freely look down on the various wonderful sights in the world.

at the moment.

As transcendents, they have already reached a level that they could never have imagined in the past. Even if the three-dimensional universe is completely destroyed, it is just an insignificant matter in front of them. They only need to use the usual equipment to solve the problem.

As for the second thing He was afraid of at the time, it was equally vulgar.

That would be the loss of the power He possessed.

That comes from going to the outside world.

Given by the rest of the compatriots.

But something that is incredibly fascinating.

He at that time.

As the leader of the entire tribe, he is essentially a very talented but power-hungry guy. In order to gain power, he often resorts to various means.

There is no problem in saying that he is a despicable person.

But, just like death.

The greed for power and interests is also one of the most basic instincts of life.

Even wild beasts in the wild will fight fiercely with each other over the position of leader, for food and mates.

so.

He also doesn't think it's a bad thing to use conspiracy and trickery for power.

Especially now.

Padilla didn't care at all.

Because unlike in the past, He still needs to use so-called conspiracy and tricks.

He is now.

I have already had real confidence.

He could say without any shame that he was definitely the strongest, most knowledgeable, and most contributing individual in the entire race.

His position as leader came naturally, and no one could question it.

Therefore, even without relying on any so-called conspiracy.

He can also easily maintain his position.

However.

Even so, even if he believes himself to be the undisputed strongest and most outstanding among his tribe.

Right now.

When Padilha successfully saw the figure outside the base, the confidence and courage in his heart immediately suffered a severe blow and he was no longer as firm as before.

Moreover, at the same moment when he was observing the other party through the base, he could clearly feel that the other party immediately noticed his observation and then locked his position through his own gaze.

This is definitely not an easy thing!

after all.

As the base of their tribe, this metal cube is basically equivalent to an independent special time and space that is completely isolated from the outside world. It is fully blocked by layers of barriers. Although those barriers will not block the sight of him as the manager and his many compatriots, they will definitely cause strong interference to the existence of other tribes!

so.

Under normal circumstances.

Not to mention a mere glance.

Even if He forcibly observed the fate and timeline of other transcendents here, the other transcendents might not feel anything, let alone directly lock onto His specific location by following His gaze.

But, at this moment, these things that should have hindered the other party were indeed completely useless. The other party easily discovered Him and locked Him, completely ignoring all kinds of barriers, making the many related facilities and equipment that their tribe had spent countless efforts to build as useless as air...

besides.

The other party's existence also made him instinctively feel some very strange feeling.

Obviously the words.

The other party's appearance could not possibly conform to the aesthetic standards of their race.

It never fits at any time.

Inconsistency at the physiological structure level.

After all, before they had flesh and blood, their species had hundreds of beautiful and slender shelled legs and dozens of big mouths full of sharp teeth. Their overall appearance was similar to that of so-called arthropods.

Therefore, in terms of aesthetics, there is not even the slightest connection or similarity with the human group to which Xi Shenlian belongs.

But when he laid eyes on Xi Shenlian, without any hesitation, he immediately instinctively felt a sense of emotion.

[It’s so beautiful…]

It was a thought that came without any reason and came directly from deep instinct. He himself did not understand why he felt that way.

But even though He realized that something was wrong and understood that He must have been influenced by some force, Padililla still felt very realistically that the existence outside was very beautiful and even perfect... It was a sense of beauty and perfection that transcended biological race and even ideology.

Just a simple and direct glance made him understand immediately that the other party was countless times more perfect than him, all his compatriots, and any existence he had ever seen in his life. The gap between the two sides was completely immeasurable, and it was indescribable to say that it was a huge difference.

For a while.

Padilla no longer had any anger or dissatisfaction about being invaded into the core restricted area, and even his hostility had disappeared.

Because He realized He was unworthy.

An existence that was so perfect that made him feel inferior to it at first sight and even admire it in his heart, was something he could not resist at all.

He could sense very clearly that there was an invisible gap between himself and the other party.

at the same time.

He also determined who was responsible for the previous changes.

Except for each other.

There is probably no one in this world who can do such a thing.
