Chapter 561: Chapter 261: First Contact, Dragon Lizard People, Galactic Situation

"And unfortunately, we humans are the latter—the ones abandoned by the Divine-level Civilizations."

"Not until after eons of evolution, when a Tier Four Life Form emerges to lead a civilization into the Cosmic Era..."

"...are they finally accepted by the Divine-level Civilizations, joining the great cosmic family to become one of the Cosmic Civilizations of Orion."

"To facilitate dialogue and trade, the four Divine-level Civilizations established a unified language for the Milky Way Galaxy and a standardized system of weights and measures."

"The language I just used with that group of Dragon Lizard People is the common tongue of the Milky Way Galaxy, something I learned through the Zerg Race’s inheritance. As long as a being hails from space and is part of a Cosmic Civilization, we can communicate with ease."

After hearing Ling Yi’s explanation, the others all looked on with expressions of awe and admiration.

Although Ling Yi’s combat ability was limited, their knowledge and cultural understanding were on a completely different level.

A genuine admiration for researchers welled up inside them.

Soon, as the group remained on high alert while listening to Ling Yi’s explanations, word came from the Dragon Lizard Squad, located a kilometer from their camp.

The squad members who had taken Qin Hu away from the Slaughter Realm’s influence had returned with him.

Lin Feng and Ling Yi stepped forward again to meet with the Dragon Lizard Captain for the exchange.

At this moment, Qin Hu was tightly bound from head to toe in layers of metallic bandages. His entire body was covered in Zerg Armor, and in the only visible part of him—his blood-red eyes—not a trace of sanity remained.

Ling Yi and the Dragon Lizard Captain exchanged another stream of guttural words, launching into a round of discussion and explanation.

Evidently, their willingness to hand over Qin Hu came with certain conditions and a price.

Lin Feng figured it was probably related to information on how to escape the Realm King’s body, so he didn’t pay too much attention. His focus was entirely on Qin Hu, who lay at the Dragon Lizards’ feet, roaring and struggling relentlessly.

Qin Hu was clearly in a bad state.

He had entered a state of full-body Assimilation; the Zerg Race’s mutagenic traits had already spread from his limbs and torso into his Brain Domain.

Based on what Lin Feng knew from Shen Jie’s case, Qin Hu’s Zerg Genetic Assimilation had already penetrated his internal organs, even reaching the neural cells of his brain.

And so, on the way back after the negotiations concluded, Lin Feng carried the tightly bound Qin Hu and looked toward Ling Yi walking ahead.

"In a condition like his, can he still be saved?"

Ling Yi frowned.

"Infinite Reproduction isn’t all-powerful."

"Someone like him... his thoughts and reason have been completely eroded, and his spiritual consciousness is gone. The only thing of use that remains is his spiritual anchor to the Real World..."

"I’ll try something first. If that doesn’t work, our only option is to wait until we’re out of the Trial World. Then we can block the invasion from the Land of the End, kill him, and resurrect him by reforming his spiritual consciousness from his physical body in the Real World."

Lin Feng nodded. Another possibility occurred to him, and he asked tentatively,

"If we have him directly absorb a Fearless Energy Cluster, could that let him leave the Trial World and return to the Real World?"

Ling Yi rolled their eyes at Lin Feng and said with a hint of disdain,

"Two words: Dream on!"

"He has already been completely infected and assimilated by the Slaughter Realm. If he absorbs the Fearless Energy Cluster now, one of two things will happen. Either the two Mental Realms will clash within his body, causing him to explode and die—a complete waste of that Realm Energy."

"Or, the Slaughter Realm will use his body as a medium to spread into the Real World, contaminating the entire main hatchery at Yunxia Ridge."

"It would infect the Genetic Warriors in the Hatching Meat Towers, the members of the Guard Battle Group, and all the remaining Warriors, turning them into mutated abominations that know only slaughter!"

"Of course, my true self is outside and could probably stop the situation from getting worse, but I’d definitely have no attention to spare for any enemy attacks from the outside."

"We’ve now left our tracks here in the Land of the End, which is like a main server. Soon, the Mother Empresses near the Federal Capital will be able to follow the energy fluctuations from this group trial and notice the Realm Inheritance at Yunxia Ridge."

"Shen Jie’s state is still unstable; he’s not strong enough to handle multiple Mother Empresses at once. We must finish this trial as quickly as possible and help the remaining nine Genetic Warriors return to the Real World."

Lin Feng grunted in acknowledgement and said no more.

After returning to the camp, he led the other nine Genetic Warriors back toward the Slaughter Volcano from where they came.

Preparing for their next move.
