Chapter 1547: Chapter 396: Escaping by Severing the Tail, Timed Instance

As the evil force was about to strike along the trajectory of the divine sense.

The Chronologist made the decisive choice to completely sever and abandon this strand of divine sense that crossed space.

Under the shroud of darkness, the divine sense extinguished instantly, like a gecko sacrificing its tail to survive.

Suddenly, a tearing sensation from the soul’s source emerged.

But it successfully broke free from the power that the Soul Beast was eroding along the divine sense connection, retreating its consciousness clumsily to the other side of the space rift.

Finally, it returned to the Sea of Civilization.

Still in shock, it suddenly realized what kind of existence had just attacked it.

This was a special form of life born directly from rules.

Its life level was more perfect than the life structure of their Mingshi Clan.

Normally, a creature that devours a vast amount of other creatures’ memories would inevitably fall into an unrecognizable chaos of self.

The more devoured, the more chaotic the memories.

The Mingshi Clan also has a devouring ability, but this devouring discards many components.

For example, the emotions and memories of creatures.

But rule-based life comes with its unique life structure.

This also explains why that evil creature, having devoured billions of creatures, integrated countless chaotic memories and extreme emotions, did not fall into madness or self-collapse due to the overwhelming flood of information.

Instead, it unified and refined all resources, turning them into a controllable war force.

The life structure based on rule origin makes devouring and fusion as natural to them as eating is to ordinary creatures.

No matter how much they devour, their core consciousness will never change.

And all foreign elements will ultimately become nutrients to strengthen their origin, unable to shake the foundation of their existence.

Narrowly escaping, but the Chronologist’s consciousness trembled slightly with lingering fear.

The sudden appearance of the Demigod Realm monster seemed to have no concept of fear, nor any thought of weighing pros and cons.

Its action logic seemed to only consist of the most primitive devouring instinct and an extreme desire for higher energy sources, along with absolute obedience to behind-the-scenes war commands.

This meant that if it hadn’t decisively abandoned the divine sense to escape and instead chose to confront it.

Even revealing a hint of strength for deterrence or counterattack would have immediately provoked it into a do-or-die battle at any cost.

Simply because it could be devoured, just like that.

As for the cost, perhaps the opposing party, even the power behind it, didn’t care.

Such precious high-end rule-based lives were being used as expendable soldiers in the war.

It couldn’t imagine to what extent the forces behind them had gone mad.

To send such infinitely potential, essentially almost immortal rule-based life forms into a war like a meat grinder, as if firing single-use arrows made from divine weapons, was simply a desecration of strength.

It also felt a tingling numbness on its scalp, an incalculable waste of resources.

But thinking of the Black Tide among the three-party forces, it suddenly understood.

To rival the Black Tide Army, it proved that this power also had frightening resource devouring efficiency.

They could be fearless of death like the Black Tide.

Even all three forces were like this.

Through frenzied warfare, they crushed and devoured each other, and drew strength from some unknown rule logic.

This also explained why the three forces didn’t care about sacrifice.

Even when large numbers of elite allies died every minute, they wouldn’t stop the war.

Because all three forces didn’t care.

Even in the Demigod Realm, it was just a consumable on this battlefield.

From this, it could be concluded that behind the three forces, there must be Divine Realm combat power, perhaps more than one.

Behind the Black Tide Army, there was likely a Divine Realm king overseeing.

Thinking this, it completely abandoned the idea of making the power at the teleportation array’s source into a civilization space.

That idea now seemed utterly foolish.

Though the Mingshi Clan was strong, it hadn’t grown to such heights.

If they actually took action, they might get caught in the grinding war between the three forces, be devoured by the endless waves of war.

This exploration found a special situation far beyond the category of "anomalous invasion."

Involving higher levels, a terrifying force that threatened the Mingshi Clan’s foundation.

Any one of the three forces was not something the current Mingshi Clan could contend with.

But what it didn’t understand was, what was the relationship between these three forces and the worms invading the Blood-colored Heart Civilization Space.

It was certain that these worms were definitely related to these three forces.

But they were not the same kind of existence.

In terms of power level, life strength, or even life form, the worms bore no similarity to the three forces.

Moreover, these worms didn’t even have the qualification to enter the three-party battlefield.

So, what exactly were they?

The initial plan was to follow the space channel and capture the tribe at the end.

Now it seemed that idea was unfeasible.

Having personally experienced the terror of the three-party war, it feared that returning would draw the attention of the three forces.

If the three forces came through the channel, the Civilization Sea of the Mingshi Clan would be completely torn apart.

This would severely weaken the Mingshi Clan’s growth speed and gravely injure them.

But not addressing it was also impossible.

Various ideas clashed and intertwined within the Chronologist’s consciousness.

Anger, wariness, destructive impulses, and cautious continuation churned with complex emotions at the heart.

Directly tracing the source to attack would be akin to seeking death and might even bring ruinous disaster upon the Mingshi Clan.
