160: Chapter 160 Caminax

After Kirigan's introduction, Lin Fang finally understood the situation on this Planet called Andi Star.

"You have lived on this Planet for 3 million years?"

Lin Fang was surprised; the Precursors had actually existed for 3 million years. Even if human civilization began with the appearance of Homo sapiens, that was only 250,000 years ago.

Judging by technological development, the Earthlings of this plane were not much different. Perhaps this was the formidable nature of human civilization, being able to fight the Precursors so evenly.

As for the movie setting where the Precursors arrived on Earth 250 million years ago, Lin Fang thought it was complete nonsense. On that timescale, Lin Fang would find it strange if the Precursors hadn't wiped out all of humanity with a single fart.

"Your Excellency, this is our Kaiju hatchery."

Lin Fang followed Kirigan into a basin. This basin, with a diameter of tens of kilometers, was covered with a thick layer of biofilm, and countless incubation sacs towered above it.

In some of them, developing Kaiju embryos were vaguely visible.

That was nothing special.

But as they went deeper into the hatchery, Lin Fang discovered something different, so he frowned and asked, "Were these embryonic individuals originally your own kin?"

In the incubation sac before him, translucent amber liquid filled most of the space, completely submerging the Precursor inside. The Precursor's carapace had already fallen off, but it was not yet dead; it was twitching slightly, revealing flesh that looked extremely disgusting.

Its limbs already showed signs of softening and deformation.

Kirigan introduced it to Lin Fang, "Your Excellency, the creation of Kaiju requires a price—not only material and energy, but more importantly, our own kin."

"Our kin sacrifice their lives, editing their own growth within the incubation sacs until they lose their consciousness and become war beasts capable of trampling everything. They are great, which is why we call them Kaiju."

"Very admirable." Lin Fang expressed his opinion on this behavior. Who could not say they were impressed by the ability to apply genetic engineering to oneself?

So this was the origin of the Kaiju. And the Wormhole...

Lin Fang raised his question.

Kirigan answered every question, pointing in one direction as he said, "Your Excellency, there is a Wormhole we nourished just ahead."

Nourished?

This word gave Lin Fang a premonition that the appearance of the Wormhole was likely inseparable from the sacrifice of these Precursors.

A moment later, Lin Fang saw the Wormhole Kirigan had spoken of. Viewed from above, this Wormhole was located in the center of the basin, with a diameter of about 50 meters.

And around this Wormhole, bones were piled like mountains, forming a shocking white ring of bones.

"It requires the sacrifice of over ten thousand of our kin to nourish a basic Wormhole."

Hearing the words of this Precursor leader, Lin Fang couldn't help but exclaim that this was a crazy race, but also an incredible one. The unknown energy within their bodies could actually open the barriers of space.

Subsequently, Lin Fang asked, "Where does this Wormhole lead?"

"The void. There is nothing on the other side of this non-directional Wormhole; it is a useless Wormhole."

"Will the Wormhole exist forever?"

"No. As the energy of our kin dissipates, the Wormhole will close and must be nourished again to open. To date, we have opened a Wormhole 1,203,259 times, and only once have we discovered a World suitable for our colonization—that is Earth."

Having opened it over 1.2 million times, Lin Fang calculated the number of sacrifices required in his mind and couldn't help but click his tongue in secret.

Lin Fang looked back at the Wormhole. "Non-directional? Are there directional Wormholes?"

In fact, after learning about the wonders of this race, Lin Fang had the idea of getting his hands on them, but if they could only do the former, such uncertainty would not be of much help to him.

It was of little value, yet a pity to discard.

He would just have to catch a few for his employees to study.

"Your Excellency, the Wormhole currently on the Zimo Suoluo Sea leading to Earth is actually a directional Wormhole. After we accidentally discovered Earth, our kin burned their entire lives on the seabed. In the place where it died, a connection point was born. No matter where I am, I can feel its existence."

"You? The King of the Precursors?!" Lin Fang's expression changed abruptly. If he wasn't mistaken, the one speaking to him was no longer Kirigan, but their King.

When did it arrive?

"Kirigan" smiled slightly. "Your Excellency, compared to the name Precursors, I prefer our race's original name."

Lin Fang's tense expression lasted only for a moment. After knowing who the other party was, he quickly relaxed and asked with interest, "What is it?"

"We are called Kaminax."

The mantis shrimp's voice became ethereal and distant.

Suddenly.

"Kirigan" looked at Lin Fang: "I know what you want, Your Excellency. You can easily traverse planes and possess powerful individual abilities; these are things only top-tier civilizations can achieve. We do not wish to be at odds with you, and furthermore..."

"Kirigan" paused and glanced at the Venom on Lin Fang, "The leader will bring you to the capital city where I reside, so we can meet and talk in person..."

After saying this.

Kirigan was stunned for a moment, but it was clear that it also understood what had happened. It said to Lin Fang in a respectful tone, "Your Excellency, please follow me."

"Lead the way." Lin Fang's eyes narrowed slightly; he couldn't wait to meet this King who only said half of what it meant.
