Chapter 550: Chapter 258: Qin Hu Trapped, World Fusion, Enter

After hearing Ling Yi reveal the truth she had glimpsed through her Spiritual Power, her voice trembling slightly...

Lin Feng’s expression changed in an instant. He quickly grasped her shoulders, forcing her to meet his gaze, and asked:

"You mean Qin Hu has already been swept into the Land of the End?!"

Ling Yi felt the steady pressure from his hands on her shoulders. After Lin Feng used his Particle Control Realm to dispel the crimson energy clinging to her body, she gradually regained her composure.

After taking several deep breaths, the now-composed Ling Yi met Lin Feng’s eyes and nodded.

"This is the best possible outcome..."

"See that over there?"

Everyone followed her gaze to a spot two hundred meters away, where space itself was shattering under the crimson invasion. A uniquely shaped Obsidian Giant Stone was being slowly devoured by the Slaughter Realm.

Ling Yi’s voice continued from behind them:

"That spot is a good hundred meters from our initial resurrection point..."

"If the Land of the End’s invasion began right after we left, at a rate of one hundred meters in ten days, then we don’t have much time left!"

Lin Feng was confused.

"Why? It’s only a hundred meters every ten days. This Mental Realm World has a diameter of about one hundred and fifty kilometers. Even if we waited until the end of time, until the trial ends, it still shouldn’t be completely consumed by the Land of the End..."

Ling Yi’s brows knitted tightly as she shook her head.

"That’s not how it works. It’s an accelerating process, similar to an exponential function..."

"Right now, it takes ten days to cover one hundred meters. But the next hundred meters might only take six or seven days. After that, the time it takes to invade another hundred meters will keep getting shorter."

"It’s related to the assimilation speed between the two realms. The greater the percentage of fusion, the faster it gets. Toward the end, it might only take a few minutes to spread a hundred meters."

Hearing Ling Yi’s explanation, even if Lin Feng felt his academic knowledge had halved since high school, he still understood the severity of the problem.

"So, at this rate, how long until it reaches the Fearless Volcanoes in the inner circle, fifty kilometers away?"

Ling Yi sighed softly.

"About twenty days."

’Twenty days is enough to deal with the remaining nine Fearless Volcanoes,’ Lin Feng thought, breathing an internal sigh of relief. ’But that obviously won’t solve the crisis at hand.’

So he moved on to other questions:

"How long can the Spiritual Passage be maintained this time?"

"Also, can you estimate the rate of time flow in this world for the Collective Mental Realm Trial?"

The last time, during Shen Jie’s Slaughter Realm trial, the time dilation between the inside and outside reached a ratio of seven hundred to one. Back then, Ling Yi could only employ rudimentary Spiritual Means and could only maintain the passage for an hour.

Therefore, the two of them had to rescue the trapped Shen Jie within a month.

But this time, both of them had reached Tier Three in the outside world, and Ling Yi’s Spiritual Power was several times stronger than before, so she should be able to maintain it for much longer.

After hearing Lin Feng’s question, Ling Yi seemed to guess his intentions. She nodded and replied:

"Don’t worry about the Spiritual Passage. As long as the Nest outside isn’t breached by the Zerg Race, it can be maintained until this trial is completely over."

"Besides, my main body is watching from the outside. If the Land of the End really does invade, she can sever the spiritual link in time and destroy this Trial World from the outside!"

"As for the time-flow rate, the integrity of this collective trial world allows it to approach the upper limit for a Tier Two Life Form: a thousand-fold."

"In other words, for every day that passes in the outside world, about thirty months will pass in the Mental Realm World."

Lin Feng took a deep breath. ’So that’s one less thing to worry about,’ he thought. ’The real problem is this fusion crisis.’

Before he could ask, Ling Yi continued to explain:

"The Trial Inheritance World we are in, Ceres, is the Pseudo-Divine Realm of the Spine Zerg Race."

"The Spine God was only one step away from a successful Ascension to Divinity!"

"Regarding the invasion from the Land of the End, the only explanation is that during his Tier-Jumping promotion, Shen Jie connected with the Spine God’s Pseudo-Divine Realm and encountered the Tier Four Mad King—whose spiritual consciousness had been stripped away by the Zerg God and sealed on Ceres..."

"Its body, meanwhile, is in the underground Land of the End. When you add this Collective Mental Realm Trial—which is on a large enough scale to possess one-thousandth the strength of a Pseudo-Divine Realm—that’s why..."

"The Mental Realm Trial World formed from the Land of the End is able to intertwine and make contact with ours. Because both are composed of Realm Energy, it triggered a special phenomenon similar to quantum entanglement."

"It’s like how, when Shen Jie gets near you, his presence interferes and resonates with the Realm Power you carry."

At this point, Ling Yi glanced at the Genetic Warriors behind her, and at Lin Feng, who was just as confused...

With a soft sigh, she decided to explain the phenomenon in a way they could better understand:

"You can think of the Divine Realm, condensed from the Spine God’s Mental Realm, as a signal collection and processing station, just like Blue Star’s internet. It can accept users logging in to access it from various places."

"Then, our Collective Mental Realm Trial, as well as the Tier-Jumping evolution of the Tier Two Peak Tiger Spine Zergs underground on Blue Star, both use their innate Spine Zerg genetic bloodline to link to this Divine Realm ’processing terminal.’ This allows them to receive a data transmission from the Mental Realm, download Realm Power, and manifest a Trial World..."

"The seventy volcanoes that appeared when the Trial World was created are each a Realm Inheritance activated by the Divine Realm, corresponding to the seventy Genetic Warriors who accessed it."

"The more users initiating a connection simultaneously, the smoother the transmission, but the more conspicuous the signal becomes."

"Initially, our group of seventy was so small compared to the total access volume that it was unnoticeable. That’s why I didn’t even consider this possibility at first."
