Chapter 527: Chapter 250: Choice, Tier Three Hunter King, Spine King, Mad King

After placing over a hundred Tier Two Zerg Eggs onto the Incubation Pyramid, Lin Feng then threw in the assembly materials for the Biological Reproductive Armor he had dismantled, along with the Purple Crystal Brain Marrow he had dug out of the Mother Empress’s head.

Ling Yi stood to the side, his brow furrowed slightly.

"Is this all we got this time? Only a hundred? That’s not even enough for the Genetic Warriors participating in the Realm Trial."

Lin Feng shrugged.

"The Yong’an River Mother Empress wasn’t that strong this time. From what I saw of its Attributes, it probably just recently reached Tier Three Early-Stage Perfection. The number of Tier Two Swarms under its command wasn’t as large as the Yunxia Ridge Mother Empress’s, either."

"And its Nest for hatching Tier Two Zerg Eggs was just a single, small Pyramid. There were only a little over two hundred eggs in total, and half of them had already hatched. We could only use them to harvest Life Energy..."

"But it doesn’t make much of a difference to Qin Hu and the others. Under his leadership, the high-end forces of the Southern Corps are all surgically modified Genetic Warriors. They’re immune to the Zerg meat toxins and can directly consume the nutrients extracted from the larvae."

"Perhaps they even prefer the taste and texture of eating them directly."

Hearing Lin Feng’s teasing remark, the corner of Ling Yi’s mouth twitched. He glanced at Shen Jie, who was still unconscious from his advancement.

"Once this guy wakes up, as long as he releases the pure Power of Spine Zerg Realm to envelop the participants, we can initiate a large-scale, active Realm Trial."

"Besides, with him around, if the Zerg Race attacks, he can delay and hold them off for a while."

Lin Feng was taken aback for a moment.

"Are you saying that a Mother Empress might detect us when we start this Collective Mental Realm Trial? And you still think we should enter it again?"

Ling Yi nodded.

"It’s possible. After all, by your estimate, there might be fifty or sixty participants this time. That’s equivalent to a large-scale sacrificial ritual. The collective Mental Realm World they form could be five-thousandths the size of Ceres."

"That’s enough to condense and form the Spine God’s Divine Realm, possessing five-thousandths of its power. Any Zerg Race Mother Empress within a fifty-kilometer radius will definitely sense this concentration of power."

"But with Shen Jie here, you don’t need to worry too much. The Realm Power he releases can also cover up and conceal the aura of the Mental Realm that leaks from the trial."

"And with the power of his Slaughter Realm, an ordinary Tier Three Early-stage Mother Empress wouldn’t stand a chance. Even if a Mid-stage Mother Empress were to attack, he could hold his own against it for a time."

Lin Feng nodded. In the Late Stage, when they had to deal with one of the four Mid-stage Mother Empresses, Shen Jie would be a great asset.

Ling Yi continued.

"As for whether the two of us should accompany them inside, my advice is yes. After all, with our current strength, we can withdraw and return at any time."

"The only problem is, if we enter with our Tier Three Spiritual Power, we can only remain on the periphery of the Mental Realm to observe. We’d be able to communicate mentally with the Trial Takers, but we couldn’t intervene or interfere with anything inside the Mental Realm World."

"You can think of the Mental Realm World as a spiritual bubble. Before, we were only at Tier Two Peak and were still very weak, so we could use a Spiritual Passage to get inside."

"Now, we’re too strong. The slightest move from us inside would unleash cataclysmic power and could easily pop the entire Mental Realm World."

"So, either we stay on the surface of the spiritual bubble as observers who can’t intervene, or we release a small portion of our Spiritual Energy, suppressing it to the level of Tier Two Perfection, and enter along with this batch of Trial Takers."

"The first option has no danger or pressure, and we can leave at any time. Even if the Mental Realm World shatters and collapses, we won’t be harmed in the slightest."

"With the second option, if something unexpected happens and we can’t retrieve the Spiritual Avatars we sent in, both of our Spiritual Power levels will drop by a minor stage."

"We would need to absorb the Purple Crystal Brain Marrow from two Early-stage Mother Empresses to recover."

Lin Feng’s brow furrowed as he wrestled with the decision.

’He was actually very eager to experience it firsthand again. It wasn’t just about gaining combat experience against a Tier Three King Spine Zerg, but also about experiencing the environment of an Exotic Planet.’

’The last time, it was just a tiny, palm-sized Mental Realm World, only twenty or thirty kilometers in area. The distant background was basically just a game texture, and the world’s Laws were incomplete.’

’But this time, it would be a large-scale Mental Realm World, big enough to cover several provinces. It could be considered a part of the Spine God’s Divine Realm and would be able to display more of the unique characteristics of Ceres.’

’As the scope expands, the world’s Laws will also become more complete, making it indistinguishable from the real Ceres.’

’Even though Lin Feng had already entered Tier Three and could easily soar through the skies and burrow deep into the earth on Blue Star, he still yearned for such a wondrous journey to an alien star.’

’Besides, he didn’t have to care too much about whether the others passed the Realm Trial...’

’But Qin Hu himself had to pass safely and master one of the three great Mental Realms of the Spine Zergs.’

’Otherwise, if he were to be completely annihilated in the trial, the Southern Corps, which had just gotten back on track, would once again fall into a long period of internal conflict.’

’At the same time, the entire counter-offensive front in the North would rapidly crumble in a short period following Qin Hu’s death.’

’That was something Lin Feng could not accept.’

’Anyone else could die, but not Qin Hu.’

’Otherwise, Lin Feng didn’t have the time or energy to support a second leader to save the North.’

So, after a moment of deliberation, Lin Feng finally decided to go with the second option: enter the Mental Realm World directly and personally intervene in the outcome of the trial.

The corners of Ling Yi’s mouth lifted slightly, as if he had anticipated Lin Feng’s choice all along. While manipulating the Incubation Pyramid to link up with the new Tier Two Zerg Eggs, he said comfortingly:
