123: Chapter 123: Opening the Divine Realm Gate Wildly, Emptying Dimensions in a Storm!
The plane is weakening.
Having lost its Plane Lord, Plane 093 is like a giant beast whose marrow has been drained, and its Laws are beginning to loosen.
The most intuitive change is reflected in the Abyssal Armor Bone Locust race.
The Mother Bug's mental network has disconnected.
Hundreds of millions of Zerg have lost their sole will and command, reduced to beasts without a leader.
They are bewildered in the bloody rain, gradually being swallowed by their most primitive instincts.
Lin Yuan stands at the edge of the pool of blood, watching all of this.
Without the Mother Bug's high-ranking suppression, the over forty thousand specialized bugs under his command, which possess the [Zerg Sovereign] trait, are like fish in water.
The bone crowns on their heads emit high-frequency mental ripples, easily tearing through the crumbling psychological defenses of the Abyssal Armor Bone Locusts.
The range of control is expanding geometrically.
More and more low-tier Zerg stop their meaningless shrieking and turn to join the ranks of slaughtering their own kind.
Lin Yuan looks up at the gray, decaying sky.
The ultimate goal of attacking an alien plane is to nurture the "Plane Core" of a world's Origin.
According to the "Freshman Guide to Plundering Planes (Internal Access Version)", there are usually only three ways to obtain a Plane Core.
The first: the Plane Lord voluntarily strips the core and offers it up.
The Mother Bug just now did indeed do that, but Lin Yuan found her too dirty, so he had the Tyrant rip her apart directly.
The second: the invader has excellent luck and is proficient in spatial and subterranean vein detection techniques, able to dig the core directly from the vast depths of the plane.
Lin Yuan, of course, does not have the leisure time to play treasure hunting games.
The third, and also the simplest and most brutal one: push the ecological destruction level of the plane to over seventy percent.
When the plane's carrying capacity falls below the critical value, the Plane Core will automatically surface.
Lin Yuan takes a rough glance.
Currently, the sea of fire is spreading, the Zerg swarms are consuming themselves, and the destruction level of the entire Plane 093 is around thirty percent.
Among this, more than half is collateral damage caused by the fall of the Mother Bug.
"No rush," Lin Yuan mutters to himself.
The Mother Bug is dead; the rest is just a matter of time.
Lin Yuan raises both hands, his ten fingers moving rapidly in the Void Realm.
Dark golden Divine Power leaps at his fingertips, and his massive Mental Energy locks onto the various nodes of Plane 093.
Hum! Hum! Hum!
On the Wasteland, among the hills, and above the sky.
Dozens of golden light gates open simultaneously, and the Divine Domain channels are fully activated.
"Transmit my oracle," Lin Yuan's voice explodes in the Sea of Consciousness of all his Wasteland kin.
"Stop the mindless slaughter. Take everything of value in your sight—living, dead, Ore, wreckage—and move it all into the channels to be sent back to the Wasteland."
Lin Yuan's command is clear.
Since this plane is beyond saving, he will squeeze out its last shred of value before it completely collapses.
However, maintaining dozens of cross-boundary Divine Domain channels simultaneously is terrifyingly draining on Divine Power.
If it were any other Demigod, they wouldn't last over an hour before their Divine Power was sucked dry and their Sea of Consciousness was instantly exhausted.
Lin Yuan's expression does not change.
A radiance of interwoven gray-black and emerald green flashes in his eyes.
"Go."
Lin Yuan flicks his fingers continuously.
Dozens of [Wither-Bloom Marks] break through the air and enter the bodies of the Tyrant Demons, core Zerg Sovereigns, and aerial creatures.
Once the marks enter their bodies, a layer of gray patterns appears on the surface of these high-tier kin.
"Kill."
A Platinum-tier Titan Violent Demon swings its warhammer, smashing the lower half of a Diamond-tier Zerg General.
At the moment the Zerg General dies, the gray patterns on the Tyrant Demon's body suddenly brighten.
The "Bloom" aspect of the [Wither-Bloom Mark] activates.
The vitality not yet dissipated within the Zerg General's remains is forcibly stripped away by the mark.
This energy does not remain in the Tyrant Demon's body but follows the connection of the Law in the nether.
It crosses space and pours into Lin Yuan's Sea of Consciousness.
Lin Yuan's rapidly depleting Divine Power is replenished.
This is the greatest gift the Mother Bug's desperate final strike has brought to Lin Yuan.
If it weren't for Lin Yuan bearing the curse of the World's Power in the Dead Star villa.
Deconstructing and assimilating this destructive power on the edge of life and death, he would never have been able to use the [Wither-Bloom Mark] so freely.
The current Lin Yuan has turned his subordinates into hundreds of high-power "pumps".
His kin are responsible for slaughtering and plundering vitality, while he is responsible for coordinating the Divine Power to maintain the channels.
After doing all this, Lin Yuan issues an order for free action to the three core kin groups.
"Disperse, and keep a lookout on your surroundings."
The three kin groups respectfully acknowledge the order.
The Bug King moves first.
It dives headfirst into the nearest Divine Domain channel.
It is anxious.
As the leader of the Wasteland Zerg, it knows too well how precious resources are.
The Zerg reproduce quickly and have big appetites; right now, the ground is covered with high-tier flesh and resources.
It needs to hurry back to the Wasteland to bring out the million-strong army from the underground bug nests.
When it comes to snatching resources, those who are fast get them, and those who are slow get nothing.
The Calamity Fire Spirit Lord disintegrates in mid-air.
Its body turns into five hundred streaks of black-gray light, scattering to every corner of the battlefield.
Body Integration consumes a great deal of their Origin, and they now need to devour the corpses of high-tier Zerg.
They use karmic fire to burn the corpses to make up for their own deficit.
As for the Tyrant.
It lets out a loud burp, exhaling a puff of dark purple foul air.
After swallowing the Mother Bug alive, the dark golden liquid on its body surface has become even deeper.
Its scarlet vertical pupils scan the battlefield, searching for those Diamond-tier Zerg Generals still putting up a desperate resistance.
Having arranged everything, Lin Yuan's gaze falls ahead.
It is the kilometer-long crack that tore through the earth when the Mother Bug appeared.
Lin Yuan flashes, leaping into the crack.
A wild wind howls in his ears.
After descending thousands of meters, Lin Yuan lands.
As soon as he lands, Void Realm energy, so dense it has almost turned into liquid, rushes toward him.
Lin Yuan scans his surroundings, a satisfied light flashing in his eyes.
There really are quite a few good things here.
On the rock wall to the left, [Void Origin Stones] are embedded densely.
This is the associated Ore vein where the Abyssal Armor Bone Locust race absorbs Void Realm power.
In the central groove, hundreds of fist-sized crystals are piled up.
These are high-purity [Plane Origin Crystals], the essence the Mother Bug spent hundreds of years extracting from the subterranean veins.
Originally her trump card for extending her life, they now all belong to Lin Yuan.
Beside the incubation pool on the right, several rows of transparent meat sacs are neatly arranged.
Inside are soaked the incomplete organs of the Abyssal Armor Bone Locust race that failed to mutate, among which are many fully formed [Void Teleportation Glands].
Lin Yuan does not stand on ceremony.
He opens a Divine Domain channel a hundred meters wide inside the main nest.
His Mental Energy turns into countless invisible hands.
Mining, transporting, clearing out.
The [Void Origin Stones], along with the rock wall, are cut off in whole chunks and thrown into the channel.
The Origin Crystals are swept away, and the meat sacs are pulled out by the roots.
Lin Yuan enjoys this thrill of plunder.
There are no moral constraints, no restrictions of rules.
On the battlefield of the starry sky, there is only eating people or being eaten.
He is now the greatest devourer of them all.
After completely emptying the main nest, Lin Yuan does not linger.
He shoots up along the crack, flying directly toward the highest bone mountain peak of Plane 093.
Above the mountain peak, the cold wind is biting.
Lin Yuan stands with his hands behind his back, overlooking the entire world.
In his pupils, a magnificent and tragic landscape painting is reflected.
The earth is cracking, with abyss-like gullies crisscrossing.
Magma from deep underground breaks through the crust, interweaving with the bloody rain falling from the sky, rising into a sky full of crimson mist.
The black-gray karmic fire of the Calamity Fire Spirits has already ignited a quarter of the continent.
The wild wind fuels the fire, turning all life into ash.
Millions of Wasteland kin advance step by step amidst the firelight and bloody rain.
They drag the corpses of the Abyssal Armor Bone Locusts into the Divine Domain channels, looting everything of value.
The meat clouds above the sky begin to disperse, replaced by streaks of spatial cracks.
The world is wailing.
Lin Yuan watches quietly.
He does not close his eyes, nor does he circulate the Divine Power within his body.
He is only watching, and remembering.
Before this, he was in the Dead Star villa, resisting the Mother Bug's curse.
What he comprehended was the "Wither" and "Bloom" of a microscopic individual's Physical Body.
That was the boundary between life and death.
But now, what is displayed before him is the "End" of a plane.
From the small Wither-Bloom to the great End.
The breaking of the ecological chain, the collapse of the Laws, the annihilation of matter.
Lin Yuan takes this grand scene of destruction, along with the dying wail emitted by the plane.
And records it into his Sea of Consciousness without missing a single detail.
Deep in his Sea of Consciousness, the dark golden Divine Power burns quietly.
The [End and Origin] Divine Godhead Fragment, upon sensing the images Lin Yuan is recording, begins to produce a marvelous resonance.
Lin Yuan's breathing becomes long and steady.
He does not need to force any comprehension or Breakthrough here.
These images, these true marks of the plane's collapse.
Will become the most solid foundation for when he crosses the Demigod chasm and condenses a complete Divine Godhead in the future.
All he needs to do is to nail this truth beneath the starry sky firmly onto his own Soul.
He does not know how much time has passed.
