87: Chapter 87 Strange Lower Creatures

Lin Sheng touched the "oracle" on his forehead, and his sorrow eased significantly.

Although Eighteen was dead, as long as Lin Sheng wished it, Eighteen would come back to life immediately.

However, Lin Sheng knew in his heart that now was clearly not the time to resurrect Eighteen.

Eighteen's death was due to a lack of strength; it wouldn't be too late to resurrect Eighteen once Lin Sheng possessed the power to fear nothing.

...

[Ding]

[Host meets the requirements for Evolution. Please undergo Evolution within 240 hours, otherwise the opportunity will be forfeited.]

Lin Sheng didn't know how long he had been eating; he only snapped out of it when the system's notification rang in his ear.

Just as he was about to begin Evolution, a sentence suddenly popped into Lin Sheng's mind:

"A High-Level Civilization is monitoring me."

He was startled.

The Creators are back!

Lin Sheng instantly dismissed the thought of undergoing Evolution.

The "absolute invincibility" state during Evolution was far too unique; if he were targeted by a High-Level Civilization, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Lin Sheng's current reserves of evolution points weren't enough to directly evolve to an invincible level.

Without knowing where the Creators were, Lin Sheng wouldn't recklessly expose his trump card.

...

"Team Leader, that lower lifeform is quite special, isn't it?"

"Does it possess a Pattern related to 'Devour'?"

As Lin Sheng fought the Zerg Swarm, several Flesh Ball People were observing his every move from not far away.

The Flesh Ball People were actually very far from Lin Sheng—so far that the light reflected from his side could not even reach their location immediately.

But no matter the distance or obstacles, they could easily observe Lin Sheng's every move.

Hearing his companion's question, the Team Leader was also somewhat curious.

"I'm not sure. I'll investigate."

Saying this, the Meatball People called "Team Leader" reached out and drew a circle; from its perspective, the circle perfectly encompassed Lin Sheng's body.

"Hmm, the source information of this lower lifeform is very complex."

"%&&! Not good!"

At that moment, the Flesh Ball Team Leader suddenly widened its single eye, looking toward Lin Sheng's direction in disbelief.

"Team Leader, what did you see?"

Seeing their leader's strong reaction, the three team members curiously gathered around.

These team members knew very well that their leader's investigation limit was at the "rule level."

And judging by the leader's performance just now, it had clearly seen something extraordinary.

The information the leader saw involved at least "rules."

"Lots of high-level information, and a few pieces of information I can't understand."

"There was one piece of information that, when I touched it, even gave me the illusion that everything would be devoured by it."

As it spoke, a trace of lingering fear could be heard in the Team Leader's tone.

Finally, the Team Leader added another comment.

"That lower lifeform's devouring ability involves 'rules' at the very least!"

"Then... Team Leader, should we still hand this lower lifeform over to Marshal Chang Xin?"

"Of course. It's just a lower lifeform involving 'rules'; it's not exactly a rare species for our civilization."

Hearing its team member's question, the Team Leader replied nonchalantly.

For a civilization at the level of the Creators, "rules" weren't considered particularly advanced things.

Although ordinary people of their civilization couldn't even freely use modifiable "Patterns," it was still very easy for them to obtain items related to "Patterns" or even "rules."

(Similar to how ordinary people cannot obtain certain medicines or high-tech formulas and blueprints, but can directly purchase the medicine or finished technological products.)

After hearing their leader's words, the group members also felt it made sense.

"Let's go. We'll capture it, find the other lower lifeform Marshal Chang Xin wants, then retrieve the experimental subjects. Once that's done, we can leave this Small Universe."

...

Lin Sheng, who was fighting a bloody battle against the insects, suddenly felt his body stiffen.

He lost control of his body.

No matter how hard he tried, his body remained frozen in space, unable to move.

And at that moment, several strange-looking humanoid creatures covered in Flesh Balls appeared before Lin Sheng's eyes.

Lin Sheng stared at these four Flesh Ball People, and Omniscience presented their basic information in his mind.

"Creator Member"

Those few simple words were enough to let Lin Sheng know their origin.

"Do you guys feel it? This lower lifeform actually has a strange sense of pressure."

After approaching Lin Sheng, one member suddenly spoke.

When this member spoke, little did it know that through "Omniscience," Lin Sheng could also understand their language.

"Indeed, I feel it too, and this pressure feels somewhat familiar."

"The information database tells me! Lan, isn't this the same feeling your Blue Spirit God gives us?"

One member clapped its hands and suddenly said.

After hearing its companion's words, the member named "Lan" also remembered.

"It seems we'll have to use the information database for assistance in the future."

Lan and another companion glanced at each other, both breaking into a smile simultaneously.

"Alright, stop chatting. Business first."

The Team Leader waved its hand, interrupting the trio's idle talk.

Then it beckoned toward Lin Sheng; its tiny figure remained tiny, but strangely, Lin Sheng's massive body was directly caught in its hand.

The Team Leader looked at the lower lifeform held in its hand, its gaze inadvertently catching the corner of the cube protruding from Lin Sheng's forehead.

With just that one glance, its attention was drawn to it.

Immediately after, a Flesh Ball on top of the Team Leader's head suddenly lit up with a red light.

As the light shone, the Team Leader suddenly shuddered all over, instantly snapping back from that dazed state.

"Team Leader? Team Leader, what's wrong? I saw your information protection device was just passively triggered. What happened to you?"

After coming to its senses, the Team Leader found that its companions were now looking at it with worried expressions.

"Hiss~ I'm fine."

"But this lower lifeform is truly strange. We'd better hurry and hand it over to Marshal Chang Xin."

The Team Leader waved off the three team members, then put Lin Sheng away.

...

Lin Sheng arrived in a chaotic space.

It was like a desolate starry sky, with nothing in it.

And even after arriving here, Lin Sheng still hadn't regained control of his body.
