Chapter 551: Chapter 258: Qin Hu Trapped, World Fusion, Entering (2)

"However, because Shen Jie saw the Tier Four Spine King of the Spine Zerg Race in the Divine Realm during his Tier Jump Awakening, it was like he accidentally downloaded sensitive information during a visit."

"This left an obvious trace."

"Then, we used his Realm Power—which carried the aura of the Tier Four Spine King—to open this Trial World. It was basically like logging onto the internet using the Spine King’s IP address."

"And in the Land of the End, deep beneath Blue Star, the Spine King’s Body, stripped of its consciousness, is the login server for tens of thousands of Tier Two Peak Tiger Spine Zergs."

"This wouldn’t have been a problem, as long as the physical distance between the two entities was greater than what light could cover in a second. Even if some entanglement occurred, it would have just been a normal quantum Sensing."

"In other words, they could faintly sense each other’s existence but couldn’t directly interfere with one another because of the vast distance."

"Unfortunately, we are only a mere three thousand kilometers from the King Spine Zerg’s birthplace in the Earth Core."

"Five thousand kilometers deep inside Blue Star, in the transitional zone between the outer and inner core, the Spine King’s Tier Four Body is quietly being nurtured in the five-thousand-degree heat."

"The Mental Realm radiation from this Tier Four Body can spread and influence a two-thousand-kilometer radius. That’s why the Land of the End, the destination for the Peak Tiger Spine Zergs, is located in the Mantle Layer above it—at the bottom of the Lower Mantle, well within that radius."

"The temperature there reaches fifteen hundred to two thousand degrees, which is similar to the King Spine Zergs’ habitat on Ceres, perfectly matching the conditions for their genesis..."

Ling Yi remarked with a sigh that all these seeming coincidences were, in fact, meticulously arranged by the Zerg God.

From the moment the decision was made to invade the Solar System in the Orion Arm, every far-reaching plan had already been laid out, conceived in a single thought by the Zerg God long before the command was given.

The thought made Ling Yi shudder. She felt that for this accidental merging of the two worlds to happen, it required far too many coincidences to be triggered.

It was as if an unseen hand was pushing everything forward...

When Ling Yi’s fascinating explanation came to an abrupt halt, Lin Feng followed her line of reasoning and finished the summary:

"So, even though we didn’t have enough people, Shen Jie’s contact with the Tier Four Spine King caused the Realm Trial world to become entangled with the Land of the End for the Peak Tiger Spine Zergs. It’s as if both sides used the same server to go online and access the Spine God’s Divine Realm..."

"And that’s what caused the Mental Realm Spaces to merge?"

Ling Yi nodded, a conflict brewing within her.

Her rational mind told her to follow the mastermind’s arrangements, but her very personal, emotional side wanted to persuade Lin Feng to get away from this dangerous place as quickly as possible.

Suppressing her inner turmoil, Ling Yi said:

"That’s right. If our numbers had reached a hundred, we would have resonated with the nearest network server, even without any contact with the Spine King. The Land of the End acts as both a switch for Mental Realm downloads and transmissions, and as a network firewall to prevent the Spine Zerg Race’s bloodline legacy from being stolen on a massive scale by Alien Races."

"Therefore, if humanity were to absorb Zerg Race genes on a large scale for Assimilation, it would be a path to certain doom."

"Taking such an unorthodox path is a shortcut that can only satisfy humanity’s immediate needs; it can’t solve the problem at its root."

After speaking, Ling Yi regained her composure, slowly rose to her feet, and looked toward the encroaching Land of the End in the distance.

The crimson Slaughter Realm Power tore further into the Trial Space beneath their feet.

Now, as the others looked at her, their expressions held a new, subtle reverence.

Ling Yi then walked up to Lin Feng. As if she had made a firm decision, she spoke with great solemnity:

"I know what you’re thinking."

"In this situation, the invasion of the Land of the End is like a hack. They’ve compromised our login address. If we die and ’shut down,’ the next time we try to log back in, we’ll be redirected to a virtual address they’ve set up—an Otherworld login to the Land of the End."

"As things stand, now that we’ve lost the chance to respawn, it’s nearly impossible for us to pass the Trial."

"There are still nine Fearless Volcanoes ahead, with nine incredibly powerful Fearless King Spine Zergs. Even if the two of us sacrifice ourselves, we can’t guarantee that all of them will escape."

"The only way to prevent that is to take the initiative, charge into the Land of the End, and rescue Qin Hu, while also finding a way to stop the Slaughter Realm’s destructive encroachment."

"If Qin Hu was redirected there on login, he should be near the Slaughter Volcano right now, competing against the Tier Two Peak Tiger Spine Zergs to defeat the Slaughter King Spine Zerg and claim one of the spots for passing the Trial."

Lin Feng took a deep breath. Ling Yi had voiced his thoughts exactly. After nodding...

He looked at the nine people around him:

"You all heard her. As things stand, we have to rescue Qin Hu first before we can plan our next move."

"Otherwise, even if some of you make it through, the others will be trapped here forever."

After everyone nodded in agreement, Lin Feng turned back to Ling Yi and asked:

"Is there a way to cross the spatial rift and get to the other side?"

Ling Yi nodded.

"Of course. It’s just a matter of opening a second Spiritual Passage. And since it’s a transfer between Mental Realm Worlds, there’s no need for any conversion, so the strain on me will be much lighter."

A look of relief, one he hadn’t felt in a long time, crossed Lin Feng’s face. He had been worried about this, thinking they were completely out of options.

"In your current state, how long can you maintain it?"

"I can use my Realm Power to help ease the pressure on you."
