Chapter 766 - 766: 718 Law 1

Nabux, also known as the King of the Deep, is an artificial weapon of the Spirit Eye Race that governs consciousness and spirit.

This fact is well known to Zhang Rongfang. The records collected by his subordinates included this part.

However, there has never been a trace of information about this peculiar space.

"Interesting."

He wasn't worried about the situation outside; he could feel that only his primary consciousness was trapped here, not his body.

Interestingly, if those from the stars believed that this would seal him and make them worry-free, they might be mistaken.

His primary consciousness has never been an amplifier of his own flesh and blood but rather a limiter in reverse.

And once without his constraints....

He gathered his thoughts.

Zhang Rongfang was not in a hurry; instead, he watched the three stone steps in front of him and the almost boundless darkness around him with interest.

He thought for a moment, flapped his wings, and flew towards the darkness on the left.

But interestingly, no matter how fast he flew, there was always black ahead, and behind him were the three steps and the white light gate.

The distance between him and the light gate never changed.

It seemed as if his flight was in vain.

'It should be a very advanced space-time distortion technology...' Zhang Rongfang speculated in his heart. Since there was no way to leave, he decided to check out what mechanisms were on the three steps.

He thought for a moment and stepped onto the first step.

Puff.

At the moment he stepped on the step, a brilliant purple glow spread from his foot, like a blooming firework, instantly spreading hundreds of meters around.

A mysterious message was transmitted from the step into his mind.

'I have condensed this step with all my consciousness. If you can pass my test, you will gain my assistance to continue forward. —Ling.'

This individual named Ling left a very concise message.

Before Zhang Rongfang could study the method of information transmission, a brand new, complex message, like a torrent, rushed into his mind.

In an instant, countless characters, numbers, images, sounds, and even various emotions, tastes, and touches converged in his mind, forming a massive stream of information.

All the streams of information fused into a complete and enormous question.

Just from the description of the question content, Zhang Rongfang could only understand one-tenth of it; the rest was beyond comprehension.

He tried to use his enhanced brain to view it as a whole, but unfortunately, to him, it all seemed like a complete mess of gibberish.

"The question has been given; please answer," urged the consciousness named Ling.

Zhang Rongfang's expression was peculiar; he felt that the question might be possible for Long, but for him....

"Sorry, I don't understand the question," he answered honestly.

"...." The consciousness named Ling was also a bit stunned, presumably having never encountered someone this unafraid of losing face, this honest, and this blunt.

"Your consciousness level does not meet the standard. You shouldn't be here," Ling pondered and spoke.

"I was forced in by someone else; do you have a way to send me out?" Zhang Rongfang spread his hands.

"I am merely a leftover consciousness that died countless years ago. Besides asking questions, I can do nothing else," Ling replied.

"Alright," Zhang Rongfang thought for a moment, "Since we're idle anyway, why not play a game of Go?"

"I can calculate all board changes in an instant. The game's upper limit is too low," Ling replied.

"...." Zhang Rongfang's face twitched, "Then let's just chat. How about sharing your past experiences?"

"Sure," Ling answered coolly, "Anyway, you can't answer the question and won't leave here either."

"Can't leave? That's not certain." Zhang Rongfang smiled.

Surface, Yuan City.

A vast red blood carpet occupied at least hundreds of thousands of square kilometers of enormous land.

The urban area of Yuan City had become an extremely prosperous and bustling giant city.

The black sky, purple crystal pillars, and the patrolling blood lotuses, occasionally drifting down with bloody celestial flowers.

These are the unique wonders of the Bloodline city.

At this moment, all the Bloodlines were engaged in daily cultivation, life, and busyness.

Suddenly, at the moment Zhang Rongfang's consciousness was confined within the formatted space.

All the Bloodlines, all the cells of the Blood Race, at this moment, felt deep inside. In the depths of their spirit, a shackle that had always suppressed everything, disappeared completely at this moment....

Not only them, but even the innumerable Blood Race spores scattered across other major cities and all over the world.

At this moment, they all felt the complete release of restraints.

Everyone slowly paused, feeling in the deepest part of their hearts, a strong desire surging upwards.

That desire urged them to plunder, devour, and hunt everything not of the Bloodline.

The intense craving slowly made every blood cell restless and frenzied.

Inside the Celestial Lotus Palace.

Zhang Zhenhai frowned slightly and awoke from the bed.

She looked down at her belly, where a grey light was gradually brightening.

And the force suppressing it belonged to her husband Zhang Rongfang, whose presence was nowhere to be found at the moment.

She was suddenly a bit flustered and quickly checked her surroundings.

Just then, she saw Celestial Maiden Tong Chapter standing on the terrace, quietly gazing into the distance.

"Tong Chapter, Sister! Something seems wrong!" Zhang Zhenhai staggered to her feet, slowly climbed out of bed, and walked to the terrace to stand shoulder to shoulder with the Celestial Maiden.

As she walked, the grey light in her belly flickered, emitting the increasingly dense aura of the Decaying World spreading outward.

Zhang Zhenhai grew more anxious inside, but upon reaching the terrace, she suddenly froze.

Witnessing the massive change happening outside, she suddenly felt that the issue in her belly was merely trivial.

"What... on earth is happening!?" She numbly followed the Celestial Maiden's gaze, looking into the distance.

At the edge of the sky, countless blood carpets writhed, growing bizarre blood-colored monsters, charging toward areas not covered by the blood carpets.

In the sky, myriad black-red particles detached from the edge of the black sky, flying densely further away with the gusts of wind.

Both the blood carpets and the sky began to expand and spread at a terrifying speed.

They devoured every useful element in the soil and air, accelerating their expansion.

In just a few minutes, they had already expanded by nearly one-third compared to the previous Yuan City.

Not just Yuan City.

Every corner of the planet dispersed with Bloodline cells, began to crazily and rapidly expand.

The instinct once controlled by Zhang Rongfang's main consciousness was free from suppression and spread unrestrained.

In Chana Tower, Long, who was gently stroking a book in his hand, suddenly sensed something and looked afar beyond the tower.

Even though the distance seemed empty, it was as if he saw the giant change in the Blood Race as if through a vast distance.

"Truly spectacular...." Long couldn't help but praise aloud.

Inside the hollow of the second secret lock.

The sea of lava surged and boiled atop the headland of Nabux.

At this moment, people from the starry alliance were gathered here to celebrate and discuss the next course of action.

To confront the calamity brought by Blood King, even the three kings of Chana Tower joined the starry alliance for the greater good.

Of course, they clarified that it was not out of hatred but for the coexistence of all life.

But the real reason was well-known among everyone.

At this moment, successfully sealing and banishing Blood King's main consciousness, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

However, without a common target to oppose, conflicts between major factions quickly resurfaced in their minds.

Having resolved Blood King, the next task was to break the three major secret locks.

At this moment, the gaze of the Eternal Palace's La and the three kings of Chana Tower all fell on the Secret Keeper.

"The matter of Blood King is resolved, now we should discuss the situation of the remaining two major secret locks..."

Netherworld King was the first to speak.

"Do you think we won't be prepared for this?" Sol smiled, "This is indeed the space of the second secret lock where the mighty Nabux dwells. With your power, you might suppress the mighty Nabux in other places, but here...."

As his words fell, numerous blue light phantom formations shaped like eight trigrams appeared in mid-air around them.

The densely packed phantoms increased, almost surrounding the entire island, forming a colossal eight-trigram shaped light sphere.

"You think what you see is real, but there is an insurmountable space distortion barrier between here and the real space of the second secret lock." Sol burst into laughter.

"Then let's see if we can break through your so-called space distortion barrier." La spoke calmly, stepping forward, and a faint white light began to shine from her body.

Invisible spatial ripples rapidly emanated from her, as if sensing and probing the surrounding environment.

With Blood King just banished, the starry alliance immediately faced internal strife.

Ultimately, the entire starry alliance was nothing more than a loosely united group, temporarily banded together under immense pressure from the Bloodline threatening global destruction.

With the goal achieved and no shared motivation, inherent conflicts quickly surfaced.

Bloodline transformation was good for ordinary people, but for Evil Spirits and the Eternal Palace, it meant losing one's self, entrusting all existence to allegiance under Blood King.

As both sides were about to clash.

Suddenly, an immense cold female voice echoed from above everyone.

"Star Instrument warning: Bloodline contamination is rapidly expanding, eroding all stellar land and atmosphere. Estimated twelve hours until contamination covers all stellar atmosphere and penetrates over a thousand meters below deep crust space."

"Bloodline transformation is expected to cause the extinction of one thousand three hundred sixty-five species. Non-Bloodline entities will lose all survival resources and fail to continue."

"Warning! A calculation error has occurred."

"New Bloodline cells have increased aggression, losing repetitive contamination assimilation capability. Primary transformation mode will shift from infection, mutation, assimilation, to devouring, destruction, reproduction."

With each resounding echo of the cold female voice.

The starry alliance members were all momentarily dumbfounded.
