333: Mutual restraint

“Your idea is somewhat dangerous.”

Mo Yuntao, Director of the Martial Security Bureau, who preferred stability, immediately rejected Yang Dian's idea:

“The great unified survival will is easy to control, after all, its purpose of existence is to perpetuate.”

“The Great Unified Death Will is not. Its purpose of existence is destruction, even self-destruction.”

“It is uncontrollable.”

Old Daoist Qingfeng sighed upon hearing this:

“It's a pity we couldn't figure out cultivation.”

“If we had figured out cultivation, then the Great Unified Death Will would have been such excellent Artifact Refining Materials~”

Yang Dian looked at the Old Daoist in surprise:

“Daoist, do you also refine Ten Thousand Soul Banners?”

The Old Daoist stroked his beard:

“What Ten Thousand Soul Banners? Don't you young people all like to call the Ten Thousand Soul Banners the Human Emperor's Banner?”

“6.” Giving the Old Daoist a gesture, Yang Dian then looked towards the Underworld Region:

“You go explore the Underworld Region to see if there are any good things, I'll go check on the Alien Planet?”

Mo Yuntao, Director of the Martial Security Bureau shook his head:

“Can't you open a space projection? If you want to see the situation on the Alien Planet, just open a space projection.”

“I think we still need to enter the Underworld Region together, otherwise it's a bit unstable.”

Old Daoist Qingfeng, who had just sheathed his sword, smiled and pointed his scabbard at Mo Yuntao, Director of the Martial Security Bureau:

“You old man, you really haven't changed at all, always so stable.”

“I don't think this is stable, it's cowardly.”

Mo Yuntao, Director of the Martial Security Bureau chuckled happily:

“If it can reduce losses, then call me cowardly.”

“There's nothing wrong with being a bit cowardly.”

The Old Daoist immediately scoffed:

“But when you're reckless, you're much more reckless than me, Old Daoist.”

“Do you know about strategic planning? Oh, right, you cultivate the Dao, so it's normal you don't understand...”

The two old men, nearly two hundred years old combined, bantered with each other. As Yang Dian walked towards the Underworld steps, he also casually drew a circle, projecting the situation on the Alien Planet battlefield.

The Great Unified Death Will had already gone berserk on the Alien Planet battlefield.

Without the suppression of the great unified survival will, as soon as the Death Will was banished to the Alien Planet by Yang Dian, it transformed into a blue tide of specters, beginning to engulf the world.

Wherever the specter tide passed, technological creations immediately short-circuited.

Lush green plants instantly turned grayish-white, losing all signs of life.

Alien Planet lifeforms, which had just been worshipped as gods by certain Western religious sects, began to flee in panic after only a moment's contact with the specter tide.

Several Interstellar Pioneer teams, who were just casually participating on the edge of the interstellar battlefield, were instantly wiped out, and countless discussions about the specter tide erupted online.

However, the Cosmic Creatures invading the Alien Planet became the main force resisting the specter tide.

Cosmic Creatures, shaped like pterodactyls but with more slender bodies and tails, spewed endless flames across the sky, instantly burning a swath of barren land within the specter tide.

Cosmic Creatures, over a thousand meters long, with two wings on their backs and bodies seemingly forged from black rock, spread out ripples of light blue, annihilating countless specters.

Starry Sky Pythons coiled and flew in the sky, suddenly opening their mouths to inhale and devour endless specters.

The specters seemed to have encountered their natural enemy.

Not long after they started their rampage, they fell into a low point in their spectral lives, being slaughtered in large numbers by the Cosmic Creatures.

Looking at the projected image in front of Yang Dian, Old Daoist Qingfeng couldn't help but curl his lips:

“This so-called Great Unified Death Will sounds grand, but it feels just so-so.”

“How long has it been? How does it feel like it's about to be wiped out?”

Yang Dian was also somewhat surprised by the performance of the Great Unified Death Will.

When it appeared, he had felt a genuine sense of threat from it.

But its current performance was somewhat disappointing.

However, thinking of the identity of the Cosmic Creatures, Yang Dian suddenly realized.

“It's not that the Great Unified Death Will is weak, it's that it's being countered.”

Facing the curious gazes of Old Daoist Qingfeng and Mo Yuntao, Director of the Martial Security Bureau, Yang Dian explained:

“Whether it's the Survival Will or the Death Will, their essence should be the same. Let's give them a codename first.”

“Let's call them 'Ghosts'.”

“Undoubtedly, judging from the previous behavior of the Ghost, it fears light, or rather, there is some kind of energy in sunlight that can cause great damage to the Ghost.”

“And sunlight is just one type of Universe light.”

“Cosmic Creatures are called Cosmic Creatures because they can survive in the Universe, and most of them have mastered some kind of Universe energy.”

“Perhaps a part of the Universe energy they master happens to be the same as the energy contained in sunlight, which can cause great harm to Ghost-like entities.”

Yang Dian projected several more images and pointed to them, saying:

“Daoist, Director Mo, look here.”

“The giant lifeforms nurtured by the Tree of Life can fight evenly with the top Cosmic Creatures.”

“Our technology is not bad either; once large-scale artillery bombardment is unleashed, Cosmic Creatures also have to scurry away with their heads in their hands.”

“But the giant lifeforms and modern technology, which can fight evenly with Cosmic Creatures, can hardly cause any damage to the specter tide.”

“This is probably attribute counter.”

Mo Yuntao, Director of the Martial Security Bureau pondered:

“So, to prevent Yue Shan from losing control, we'd best be able to control a powerful Cosmic Creature?”

Yang Dian didn't immediately follow Mo Yuntao, Director of the Martial Security Bureau's leap in logic.

But when he came to his senses, he felt that Mo Yuntao, Director of the Martial Security Bureau's words made sense.

If Yue Shan were to lose control, having a natural enemy nearby would make it easier to control him.

“That's indeed the logic.”

“However, Director Mo, Cosmic Creatures are not that easy to control.”

“Our contractors and beast-taming ability users have tried to control them.”

“But they would rather die than be restricted by a contract, and beast-taming ability users cannot appease the brutality in their consciousness.”

“Even the weakest Cosmic Creatures, we haven't been able to control a single one, let alone powerful Cosmic Creatures.”

Mo Yuntao, Director of the Martial Security Bureau, however, had a different view:

“The weaker the Cosmic Creature, the lower its intelligence; the stronger the Cosmic Creature, the higher its intelligence, and it might even weigh the pros and cons.”

“As long as we can win this Alien Planet war, we might be able to contract a few powerful Cosmic Creatures, and then use the powerful Cosmic Creatures to restrain and control the weaker Cosmic Creatures.”

“On another note, from the data we've observed, the reproductive capacity of these Cosmic Creatures is no weaker than that of cockroaches.”

“It's just that Cosmic Creature meat contains a large amount of radiation energy, which ordinary people cannot withstand.”

“However, just because ordinary people can't eat it doesn't mean Martial Artists above the Qi Blood Smoke Realm can't. What do you say about setting up a Cosmic farm to raise Cosmic Creatures? Is there any prospect?”

Yang Dian, who was still pondering the feasibility of contracting and controlling Cosmic Creatures, turned his head and heard Mo Yuntao, Director of the Martial Security Bureau's thoughts take a triple jump, from preventing Yue Shan from losing control to opening a Cosmic Creature farm, and he was momentarily at a loss for words.

He had heard Yue Shan say before that their Martial Security Bureau Director Mo Yuntao's way of thinking was somewhat unusual.

He had thought it referred to his unusually steady thinking.

But he hadn't expected it to be this kind of unusual.

After silently complaining a few times, the group re-ascended the blue steps.

Glancing at the red flowers by the steps, Yang Dian stroked the Little Black Cat's head a couple of times and then said:

“Let's consider the farm matter later. For now, let's first see if there are any good things in this place.”

As he spoke, he scratched the Little Black Cat's chin again:

“Do you sense any other tasty things here?”
