106: Chapter 106 Biological Control? No, this is an Abyss Buffet.

The shores of the East Sea, the front lines of the battlefield.

A dense swarm of insects surged like a tsunami. Every "World-Devouring Insect" possessed a steel-like carapace and mouthparts capable of crushing Magic Treasures. Although the Great Zhou Dynasty Prime Minister (Director of the External Relations Department) had a cultivation at the Golden Core Stage, at this moment, he could only lead the students in a fighting retreat. "Hold on! Everyone, hold on! The Dean's reinforcements will be here soon!" The Prime Minister waved the official Seal in his hand (which had been modified by Li Mo into a 'Physics Great Seal' specifically for smashing insect heads), drenched in sweat.

Just as the defensive line was about to collapse, the earth suddenly trembled. A dark aura, even more violent and greedy than the insect swarm, swept in from the rear.

"Roar—!! (So hungry!!)"

Thousands of Abyss Tentacle Monsters, like wild dogs off their leashes, leaped over the students' heads with purple drool dripping from their mouths. They had been locked in cages for too long, eating only "leftovers" (cafeteria slop) every day, and had long since gone stir-crazy. Now, smelling the rich, high-protein "insect aroma" ahead, their sanity instantly vanished.

*Pfft!* The leading Tentacle Monster crashed directly into the insect swarm. It didn't even use any Divine Abilities; it simply opened its mouth and—*slurp*. Dozens of Golden Core Stage World-Devouring Insects didn't even have time to scream before they were swept into its mouth by barbed tentacles and chewed with a satisfying crunch.

"These... these are the reinforcements?" The students were stunned. Was this even a battle? This was clearly a pack of hungry dogs pouncing on food!

"What are you standing around for!" Li Mo's voice rang out through the Communication Stone on the Prime Minister, tinged with frustration. "The cleaners are in position! Your job is to 'season' them! Quick, get the sprayers!"

The students snapped out of it. One after another, they raised their specialized Magic Treasures—[High-Pressure Pesticide Sprayer]. Inside was a "pesticide" specially blended by Li Mo: 84 Disinfectant (Defense Break) + Abyss Extra-Spicy Chili Water (Enrage/Flavoring).

"Spray! Spray them hard!" the Prime Minister ordered.

*Sizzle—!!!* A cloud of white mist enveloped the insect swarm.

"Squeak, Squeak, Squeak!! (My eyes!!)" The World-Devouring Insects let out shrill screams. The chili water seemed extremely irritating to their compound eyes, while the disinfectant corroded their carapaces, making them crispy.

For the Abyss Tentacle Monsters, however, this was simply... "Roar? (Extra spicy?)" One Tentacle Monster took a bite of an insect covered in chili water, and its eyes instantly lit up. Delicious! What a kick! This was way better than eating insects plain!

Thus, an extremely bizarre scene unfolded on the battlefield. The originally ferocious World-Devouring Insects had now become terrified "ingredients." They tried to flee, but before the Tentacle Monsters—whose combat power had skyrocketed after eating the chili water—there was no escape. The Tentacle Monsters even began to get picky: "Roar! (Save that one sprayed with disinfectant for me! That one's crispy!)" "Roar! (I want the extra-spicy one!)"

The students followed behind the Tentacle Monsters, spraying and shouting: "Big brother! Over here! There are more insects here! Want some vinegar with that?" "Abyss big brother, eat slowly, don't choke!"

...

Half an hour later.

The shores of the East Sea fell silent. Of the billions of insects that had been rampaging, not a single scrap remained. Thousands of Tentacle Monsters lay scattered across the beach with round, bulging bellies, sunbathing and occasionally belching up an undigested insect leg or two.

[System Notification: Biological control was a Perfection success.] [Ancient God Comfort: +10%.] [Warning: The cleaners (Tentacle Monsters) are undergoing collective evolution (mutation) due to excessive intake of high-energy protein.]

Second floor of the Scripture Pavilion.

Li Mo watched the surveillance footage, his lip twitching. He saw that layers of black carapace had actually grown on the Tentacle Monsters, and their originally limp tentacles had become as powerful as steel whips. "...Fine, consider it an equipment upgrade for the security team."

He turned his gaze toward the massive crater blasted into the seabed. Now that the insects had been eaten clean, a giant, grayish-blue patch of "Ancient God Skin" was revealed. On the surface of the skin, now cleared, rows of massive and ancient... characters were exposed.

"What... is that?" The Prime Minister stood at the edge of the pit, looking at the mountain-like patterns beneath his feet, his heart filled with inexplicable shock. Those characters did not belong to any language in the current Cultivation World; they were vigorous, ancient, and emitted a suffocating pressure.

"Don't move," Li Mo's voice suddenly became serious. "Zoom in the camera."

The Prime Minister hastily raised the Recording Stone and aimed it at the row of characters. Through Li Mo's [Eye of Truth] (which came with a built-in translation function), that obscure and difficult Ancient God Language slowly transformed into Chinese characters he could understand.

But the moment he understood them, Li Mo fell silent. Because it wasn't some profound Cultivation Technique or a sealing incantation. It looked... more like a product label.

[[Model: Gen-IV Planetary-Class Biological Warship (Decommissioned).] [Serial Number: pangu-003.] [Status: Core engine stalled, undergoing ecological degradation.] [Date of Manufacture: Unverifiable.] [Precautions: Strictly forbidden to touch the 'Navel' (Central State Core), otherwise the self-destruct sequence may be triggered.]]

"..." Li Mo took off his glasses and rubbed the bridge of his nose. "Good heavens. So we aren't living on a corpse, but on a scrapped warship? And it's a biotech warship at that?"

No wonder this world has "meridians" (energy conduits), "parasites" (System bugs), and even a "fear of the dark" (light sensor malfunction). It all makes sense now.

"Dean? What's written there?" the Prime Minister asked cautiously. "Is it an ancient divine oracle?"

Li Mo took a deep breath and put his glasses back on. This truth was far too shocking; if he directly told these cultivators, "You are actually just bacteria on a warship," their Dao Hearts would likely shatter into pieces. He had to phrase it differently.

"Ahem." Li Mo cleared his throat and spoke through the broadcast: "It's nothing. That is... the Ancient God's **'Factory Manual'**. It records that if we want to make this world a better place (and keep it from exploding), we need to give it regular maintenance."

"Prime Minister, hear my command." "Present!" The Prime Minister immediately straightened his back.

"With this patch of skin as the center, establish the 'East Sea Branch School'." Li Mo's eyes sparkled. "The name will be... [Ancient God Skin Care and Research Center]. Your task is to rub and copy all these characters, and then... polish this skin until it shines! Since it's a biological warship, then maybe... we can even repair it?"

An even crazier thought surfaced in Li Mo's mind. If he didn't just "lay low" in the Scripture Pavilion... if he didn't just "manage" the Cultivation World... if one day, he could restart this "ship" biological warship...

Then, facing an invasion from the Abyss, could he just directly pilot the world and crash into them?

Li Mo smiled. "It seems this so-called Cultivation World is even more fun than I imagined."

He picked up a pen and, on his future plan, crossed out a line and rewrote: [[Ultimate Goal: From 'Laying Low' to... 'Piloting'.]]
