The Lord of the Abyss is distinct from other realms.
In Hell and similar planes, legends are required to extract the necessary substances to fulfill the silkworm's destiny.
The variant area meets this requirement, as its essence stems from the abyss demigod or the extension of the abyss's high-level powers.
Thus, the lords of the metamorphic area, whether newly formed or powerful mutant lords, can harness sufficient abyssal energy to enhance the life of silkworms.
Additionally, he possesses Chaoyuan materials himself.
This expedition aims to assess the density of the metamorphic area and the ancient god kingdom.
After all, version 2.0 still requires these environments for players to engage with.
Understanding the density of Dongwu City in advance will pave the way for future developments.
As for other cities, the white epidemic and the silkworms will convene once they emerge.
First, they must obtain the coordinates of the mutation area and the ancient god kingdom, followed by establishing a teleportation array to allow players direct access to the instances once they reach the required level.
Of course, there's the option of taking risks with Diane. However, the conflict during the law's transformation has heavily impacted surrounding variable and disaster areas, with the white epidemic dominating the new threats.
Approaching the mutant lord, Bai Yi found that before he could inquire, the lord of the metamorphic area was ensnared by a powerful spiritual force.
Extraction of Chaoyuan commenced.
The Holy Spirit of 138 now faced a downward dimensional attack—no tricks needed, just a pure display of attribute superiority.
As purple substance was extracted, the metamorphic area began to disintegrate instantly.
The abyss lord relinquished the power blessing of this change area with keen interest, opting not to intervene further.
The white epidemic began to fabricate 2.0 silkworms.
Bai Yi envisioned these as energy entities—ones capable of autonomously locating a host. When the host perishes, they will not die but will instead seek out a new host to thrive once more.
This guarantees a full survival rate.
The downside, however, is that their upper limit is slightly lower than Fiya's.
Yet, as a rare energy life form, the upper limit of 2.0 holds infinite potential.
Initially, the mortal limit was the tenth-order legend, but there were later taboos, right? As long as a gifted entity exists, irrespective of its form, infinite possibilities arise.
Diane watched with keen interest. Typically, such a manufacturing process would be dull, but with the unique creator, even mundane tasks became intriguing.
The manufacturing process progressed swiftly, and the materials added by the white epidemic were gradually tailored, excluding only the super abyss and the origin of silkworm life.
A range of high-resistance materials was incorporated. Wasn't it a curse to be high?
Didn't he seize the evil cat from the dark world?
Thus, awakening these two specialties—curse immunity and a whole evil heart—was advantageous.
This evil heart shares a common origin with the evil cat. The host of the heart birthed the evil cat, and now the heart is here, ready to be absorbed by the silkworm.
Once the silkworm's life matures to the same level as Pusheng, Pusheng must engage.
Boom!
A thunderclap echoed through the sky, quickly fading.
Although fate played no role in this manufacturing process, the origin of the finished product remains unchanged. The luck of this new race will always be intertwined. If one gains Shia's recognition, all realms will acknowledge their existence.
At least until they breach the world's rules, these realms will not exclude them.
As various instruments operated rapidly, a purple liquid gradually coalesced at the center.
Meanwhile, the last instrument began to separate part of the origin of silkworm life 2.0.
Though Fiya's original source had only been partially utilized, creating a second segment proved challenging for the white epidemic, necessitating a new original supplement. He didn't want this transformative knowledge to become mere theory.
Once the silkworms in the two instruments amassed a sufficient amount, the instrument extracting the original source halted first. Then, in the vessel gathering the silkworm's life, the liquid began to tremble and morph.
It sprouted numerous tentacles, suddenly contracting to a corner of the glass container, quivering like a sea urchin.
As it absorbed inherited memories, under Bai Yi's and Diane's watchful eyes, the purple sea urchin gradually transformed into a small purple figure, bowing slightly.
With an indistinct voice, neither distinctly male nor female, it said, "Father, mother."
Bai Yi: Is something wrong with this series?
Diane: ???
She stared at Bai Yi, as if trying to confirm whether she had misheard.
"It's normal for them to behave this way. These experimental creatures aren't always obedient," Bai Yi explained with a hint of exasperation.
"Well," Diane's gaze wandered momentarily, a flush creeping to her cheeks. "But it shouldn't call out randomly, right?"
Bai Yi checked the attributes of the silkworm's life and felt a measure of satisfaction.
This entity had reached level 10 initially, boasting an expertise in devouring abyss creatures, as well as the desired specialty.
Silkworm Life · Parasitism: Inherits all memories and knowledge of the host. Upon the host's death, enters a non-selectable state for ten seconds.
Silkworm Life · Curse Exemption: Immune to all curses lower than its own rank; 10%-90% immunity to high-level curses.
Silkworm Life · Divine Heart (Unique): Your energy attacks inflict 20% real damage to divine evils and 20% of the damage from divine evil powers.
Although this divine heart slightly constrains the white epidemic, it's inconsequential. The white epidemic embodies both light and darkness; while the brighter aspect leans toward scholarly pursuits, it's not devoid of combat efficiency.
Moreover, when the white epidemic implanted its thoughts, it not only added the Lord of the Curse to the abyss's mindset but also intensified their fear of him.
The cunning beings may not trust the loyal white epidemic, but they certainly fear him.
After a moment of contemplation, he said, "Your name is Mark. I'll take you to where you belong now."
"Yes, father, Mark listens to you."
The sharp voice rang out again. Bai Yi found it somewhat grating but said nothing, beginning to arrange the sacrificial teleportation array to the abyss.
Setting up cross-level formations is difficult for other planes, but the abyss is different. It cannot wait for creatures to be transmitted; it desires them immediately.
The sacrificial teleportation array arranged by the white epidemic operates on the principle of offering something to the abyss, signaling a wish to enter, prompting the abyss's consciousness to open a channel for retrieval.
Bai Yi produced a test tube with space shock absorption properties and placed it beside Mark.
Mark leapt in without hesitation. Both Fiya and Mark exhibited high obedience in the face of the inevitable.
As the teleportation array illuminated, the white epidemic tossed the test tube into the array.
Buzz~
Mark vanished amid the fluctuations.
Diane felt a pang of disappointment, though she couldn't quite grasp why she felt so attached to that little creature.
Bai Yi noticed her reaction and smiled, jokingly asking, "What's wrong? Are you reluctant because of a single word from him?"
Who, me? Reluctant?
Diane's face flushed instantly, "I-I'm not! What are you talking about?"
Bai Yi stepped closer, teasingly adding, "You don't have to feel that way if you don't want to."
"Ah! Bolton, hurry up! Full speed ahead!"
Boom!
The necromancer surged into the air atop the dragon, racing towards Dongwu City.
Bai Yi watched the dragon's trail, his smile relaxed as he easily tore through space, returning to Dongwu City.
Indeed, the eastern regions at dawn harbor few mutant and disaster areas. When players arrive, the primary battlefield will still be other border cities.
After convening a parliament, the federation's power began to radiate outward.
They were quite pleased with actions that yielded substantial gains without placing excessive demands on the federal government.
However, dissenting voices did emerge. Yet with the current status of the white epidemic, these objections were swiftly silenced.
The reasons for the opposition were straightforward: while players excel in group battles, they lack high-end combat capabilities.
Thus, the federation's elite forces needed to be subdued. However, once outside the federation, even their members faced danger. Now, the nine SSS-level entities gleamed ominously.
They deemed it unnecessary to take risks.
Nonetheless, with only four top-tier cities in Dongwu City, coupled with the legendary combat prowess of the white epidemic, opposition grew quieter in his presence.
Metheus Tifeng raised his hand with a smile, reaching an agreement with the stipulation: "To safeguard the federation's living force, the white epidemic must produce a star core B07 for each family as a means to eliminate high-end combat threats in dangerous areas."
Bai Yi understood Metheus's intentions and agreed, albeit feeling a twinge of impatience with this balancing act.
However, upon reflection, the white epidemic chose to suppress that impatience.
Power arises from greatness and ambition. In an extraordinary world, this isn't a flaw but rather a facet of human nature.
Bai Yi isn't perfect, but he strives to mitigate his shortcomings.
Diane spent a month resting outside before re-entering the small world.
More than a year has passed since then. During this time, the federal map has extended by 70,000 kilometers, illuminating all areas.
Each transmission point signifies either a mutation area or the kingdom of the ancient gods.
In this year of relative peace, the ancient god kingdoms and mutation areas have also been gathering strength.
Throughout this period, the white epidemic sold numerous space-time stones, primarily because the federation's reserves were nearly depleted, with no new veins discovered.
Initially, the parliament intended for the white epidemic to contribute these stones for free, as the idea originated from him.
However, the legislators opted to offer compensation, agreeing to charge for player transmissions, providing currency and shares in return.
The white epidemic, in turn, raised the prices significantly.
These teleportation arrays serve their purpose now, but once the ancient god kingdoms and mutation areas are swiftly cleared, what then becomes of these arrays, which can't be dismantled without damage?
There's never a shortage of creatures on the continent of Hia, only a need for order.
Once the federation expands further, each teleportation array could potentially become a city, and these star-like arrays will eventually illuminate the Hian continent.
Spreading the glory of order to every corner.
If that fails, these teleportation arrays will serve as garrison points. Therefore, Bai Yi had no intention of dividing territory; his sole focus was the development of Dongwu City.
His strategy involves raising prices and relinquishing subsequent territorial competition.
The federation recognized this, leading to collective joy and reluctant monetary exchanges.
You have created a gold-eating worm × 1. Experience gained: +1. Your level is now 74.
The white epidemic paused his manufacturing efforts, deeming the 800 million gold-eating worms sufficient for now.
Though enhanced, the improved gold-eating worms also come at a higher cost.
The number of gold-eating worms with superalloy shells increased from three million to nine million.
This threefold improvement in quantity doesn't merely correspond to a threefold increase in kinetic energy; the underlying principles are exceptionally complex.
Multiple gold-eating worms colliding with a single worm at full speed generate even greater kinetic energy, propelling the next row of worms forward.
This infinite kinetic iteration, capped at nine million, suggests unimaginable strength.
Moreover, the micron-level machinery is smaller than pores; with such durability and kinetic energy, penetration capabilities reach their peak.
Even after the white epidemic develops an alloy surpassing superalloy, the potential of the gold worm continues to escalate, granting it limitless destructive power.
Emerging from the laboratory, Bai Yi noted the transformed appearance of the city lord's mansion.
Initially, he intended to erect a high-rise building, but the designer insisted it wouldn't suit the city lord's identity, leading him to request a new design.
The mansion's backyard retained its expansive garden, but the structure had morphed into a magnificent castle, reminiscent of ancient aristocratic manors, only grander.
Bai Yi was genuinely pleased with the new design.
"Brother."
Luo Ning's voice chimed in.
At eighteen, Luo Ning had blossomed into a young woman. Half a year prior, she had found it difficult to drop the term "boss brother."
"Luo Ning, what's up?"
Bai Yi instinctively reached out to ruffle her hair but paused, realizing her height made such a gesture seem inappropriate now.
Luo Ning noticed this and took Bai Yi's hand, placing it atop her head with a smile. "Brother is brother, and he will be my brother for eternity."
Bai Yi chuckled, affectionately tousling her hair before asking, "What did you need me for? I'm quite busy."
"After breaking through to gold, I can see more things related to you, brother. Look!" Luo Ning produced a crystal ball from the void.
This crystal ball was no longer her aircraft but rather a fortune-telling tool.
Infused with the power of fate, the crystal ball floated in mid-air.
Luo Ning retrieved an inscription of God, reciting incantations as each word glimmered with golden light.
Simultaneously, the crystal ball transformed from transparent to revealing a vague image.
Luo Ning appeared slightly disappointed. "If only Sister Erin were here, we could see it more clearly with her fate coins."
