120: Chapter 120 Resource Monetization and the Mothership's Ultimate Devouring Evolution

The aftershocks of the spatial warp spread through the sea of stars like an invisible ripple before returning to a deathly silence.

Inside the bridge of the Psionic Mothership, the piercing alarms had stopped, leaving only the low hum of the engines running smoothly.

Through the massive curved porthole, a strange divine kingdom docking area dotted with countless points of light could be seen.

Safe at last.

Su Chen stood before the main console, star charts reflected in his golden dragon pupils; on that ferocious dragon face belonging to Hyperis, his expression was one of icy calm.

He didn't look back at the ruins he had just escaped, nor did he think about that Remnant Soul of the Ghost Dragon he had completely enraged, whose logic core was on the verge of collapse.

An AI bound by core directives for countless eons, even if it possessed emotions, was ultimately just a pathetic prisoner.

"Stupid dragon"—this evaluation wasn't a mockery, but a statement of fact.

"Dominator, the [primordial leviathans egg] is in a stable state."

Lumina's voice came from behind; she had already carefully placed the massive dragon egg into the ship's biological life-support pod and reconnected the energy and nutrient supply lines.

Her movements were no longer violent as before, but had become incredibly gentle, as if she were handling a rare treasure.

Su Chen severed the link with Hyperis, stood up from the pilot's seat, and reverted to his human form.

He walked to the life-support pod and looked at the giant egg, which was taller than a person.

Glimmers flowed over the shell's surface, and the silhouette of a curled-up, massive life form was faintly visible inside. The sound of a strong heartbeat was converted by instruments into regular low-frequency pulses, echoing within the chamber.

This was the last hope of the psionic energy giant dragon race.

And it was the most important part of his next plan.

"All hands rest and regroup; maintain maximum alert."

Su Chen gave the order, then turned and donned a black robe capable of shielding against all detection.

His figure faded and vanished on the spot.

...

City of Deities, Trading District.

This was the intersection of billions of divine domains and the most prosperous trade center in the multiverse.

On the radiant avenue formed by Divine Power, life forms of various shapes and sizes flowed endlessly. There were rock giants with bodies as massive as mountains, elemental beings surrounded by planetary rings, and holy-faced angels with light wings spread behind them.

Su Chen's figure appeared silently at the entrance of the largest auction house—"Myriad World Rarities."

He kept his hood low, completely shrouding himself in shadows, blending inconspicuously into the bustling crowd.

He didn't choose to directly sell the [primordial leviathans egg], which was enough to drive any deity mad.

Such an act would be like lighting a sun in the middle of the night, instantly thrusting him into the spotlight.

What he needed were resources—massive amounts of resources to quickly convert potential into immediate combat power.

Su Chen walked into a private VIP appraisal room, and the Storage Ring on his finger flickered with light.

He gently placed an irregular metal block on the table; it was fist-sized, an ominous dark purple, and its surface seemed to have countless tiny organisms squirming on it.

"Void Bio-Alloy."

His voice was processed, raspy and low.

The one receiving him was a well-traveled Horned Demon; it took one glance and prepared to recite a formulaic line.

But in the next second, its breath hitched.

Those vertical pupils, which originally flickered with cunning and greed, suddenly contracted into pinpricks!

It lunged forward, almost pressing its face against the alloy, its nostrils flaring wildly as if sniffing for something.

"This... this is..."

The Horned Demon's voice trembled; it carefully extended a claw, only to jerk it back the moment it was about to touch the alloy, its eyes filled with awe and fear.

"Void Realm Alloy?!"

It screamed out, its voice so sharp it almost pierced the soundproof room reinforced with Divine Power.

"Top-grade Materials for forging a Divine Artifact? A raw ore of such high purity?!"

Su Chen didn't speak, just watched it quietly.

Silence was the best catalyst.

The Horned Demon instantly understood the guest's meaning and slammed a red emergency button.

Only half a minute later, several powerful Divine Thoughts descended upon the VIP room.

The auction house manager, the chief appraiser, and even a semi-divine Elder who had been in seclusion for years were all alerted.

When the appraisal report for the Void Bio-Alloy came out, the entire upper management of "Myriad World Rarities" fell into a frenzy.

"I bid three million Divine Power! Guest, please, you must sell it to me!"

A Fire Elemental Lord, wreathed in flames, spoke with a booming voice.

"Three million? You are insulting this holy relic!"

Another cold Divine Thought directly refuted him.

"Five million!"

"I bid six point five million!"

"Eight million! Plus a bottle of 'Tears of the Stars,' a specialty of my divine kingdom!"

The price was skyrocketing at a frantic pace.

Su Chen remained silent, letting them scramble.

What he had brought out was only a small portion of the spoils obtained from the Void Realm Worm; it wasn't very useful to him anymore.

But for these deities stuck at a Bottleneck and in desperate need of top-tier Materials to forge their life-bound Divine Artifact, it was nothing less than a ladder to the heavens.

Just half an hour later.

On Su Chen's personal Divine Power account terminal, a string of zeros was jumping.

Finally, the number settled at a level that satisfied him.

Eighty million.

A full eighty million units of pure Divine Power.

This huge sum, enough to completely bankrupt a Lower God, he had no intention of saving at all.

Capital only generates value when it flows.

"Give me ten thousand kilograms of high-purity Psionic Energy Crystals!"

Su Chen directly gave a new order to the auction house manager in a tone that brooked no argument.

"And that—Photosynthetic Nutrient Solution—clear out your entire stock!"

The manager's expression showed a moment of bewilderment.

He couldn't understand why this mysterious guest, having just earned an astronomical fortune, would immediately trade it all for these resources that, while precious, had relatively narrow uses.

But he didn't ask.

Curiosity, in the world of deities, is a most lethal poison.

Carrying a massive amount of resources enough to fill a valley, Su Chen's figure vanished once more.

When he returned to his divine domain, above the Iron Hive, the massive Psionic Mothership was floating quietly.

Its volume at this moment was already comparable to a small floating city.

But in Su Chen's eyes, it was still far from enough.

Completely insufficient.

The enemies he had to face were True Gods.

Beings who sat high upon their divine kingdoms, looking down on all life, able to destroy stars with a single thought.

To counter such great power, he had to possess violence of at least the same level.

"I must have... planet-killer class firepower."

Su Chen's gaze fell upon the heavily protected [primordial leviathans egg] in front of the mothership.

The psionic energy giant dragon, one of the top predators in the Universe.

If it could be successfully hatched and then slowly raised, it might become the strongest force under his command in the future.

But it was too slow.

Hatching takes time, growing takes time; from a hatchling to possessing the power to destroy planets would take eons.

What he lacked most was time.

A crazy thought emerged in his mind and quickly occupied all his thoughts.

"Hatching a second one is too slow, and I'd have to level it up from scratch."

The corners of his mouth curled into an icy yet fanatical arc.

"Better to... eat it."

This was a decision that profaned life and subverted common sense.

Treating an unborn top predator as nourishment for another existence.

Su Chen raised his hand and pointed it at the Psionic Mothership.

"Talent activation—Infinite Gene Evolution!"

"Target: Psionic Mothership."

"Directive: Devour and Fusion!"

Buzz—!

The Psionic Mothership's massive hull trembled violently, as if a slumbering prehistoric beast had been awakened.

On its pitch-black underbelly, layers of thick biological armor split open, and a bottomless biological bay suddenly gaped wide.

It wasn't a mechanical opening, but a living abyssal maw covered in mucus and muscle tissue!

The maw aimed at the hundred-meter-tall giant egg and swallowed it in one gulp!

The next second.

Boom! Crackle—!

An earth-shattering sound of bones bursting, as if the world were collapsing, frantically emanated from inside the mothership!

Those were the extremely violent combat genes of the primordial leviathan; after being forcibly analyzed, they began to frantically rewrite the mothership's biological structure in the most brutal way!

Massive amounts of Psionic Energy Crystals and nutrient solution were frantically injected through connected pipes, turning into the purest energy to fuel this frenzied evolution.

【Ding! Evolution beginning!】

【Fusing 'primordial leviathan' combat module...】

【Loading 'Void Realm Bio-Cannon' gene sequence...】

【Generating 'Void Warp Bone Spikes'...】

A series of System prompts flashed before Su Chen's eyes.

His gaze was focused; to ensure this gamble was foolproof, he directly used the Divine Power he had just acquired and hadn't even warmed up yet.

Divine Domain Authority, activate!

"Time Acceleration!"

"One day outside, fifteen years inside!"

Eighty million Divine Power burned frantically!

A massive light cocoon composed of pure time energy instantly enveloped the entire Psionic Mothership.

Inside the light cocoon, the flow of time was warped to a terrifying ratio.

Outside, one day passed.

Inside the cocoon, fifteen years whistled by.

When the last trace of Divine Power burned out, spiderweb-like cracks appeared on the surface of the massive time cocoon shrouding the mothership.

Snap!

The cocoon shattered.

The light dissipated.

A terrifying behemoth over fifty thousand meters long, pitch-black all over and covered in hideous bone spikes and thick chitinous heavy armor, floated quietly in the sky.

It was no longer a ship.

It was a living interstellar fortress, a destruction Incarnation walking through the Void Realm.

【Congratulations! Evolution complete!】

【Name】: Planet-Killer Class · Void Realm Hive Mothership (Demi-God Peak)

【New Weapons】: Void Realm Warp Battering Ram, Main Cannon: Death Star Strike (Can destroy asteroids).

Su Chen looked at the perfect masterpiece he had created with his own hands and slowly opened his arms, as if embracing the entire starry sky.

An unprecedented sense of power and confidence filled his every cell.

"Beneath the True God, I am invincible."

He declared softly.

"Next, it's time to ignite the divine fire and raise the god throne."
