Chapter 1308: Chapter 1055: Devouring and Harmony
This plan is perfect! Divine Worm was very satisfied with its own cleverness.
The combination of Xiaodie and Little Black unleashed an astonishing devouring power. Although its own energy, accumulated over a thousand years, was being rapidly consumed, Divine Worm was not worried because soon, everything would become its own!
Patience! It’s almost time! Divine Worm told itself.
As matter became increasingly smaller, finally, a golden Eternal body appeared in front of Xiaodie! Having followed Long Yi for a long time, Xiaodie naturally knew what this object was, and she also knew what its appearance signified!
"Divine Worm!" Xiaodie screamed.
"Too late!" Divine Worm let out a ferocious laugh as it rushed out from the hole in the Eternal body, heading straight for Xiaodie’s eyes with the help of the opposing giant’s gravitational pull!
But!
When Divine Worm tried to escape the range of gravity, it found that it couldn’t do so at all! Both it and the Divine Soul it inhabited were pulled by that huge gravitational force toward Little Black!
Although Divine Worm did not know what the result of rushing towards Little Black would be, it instinctively felt uneasy. It struggled desperately, even firing off Divine Power in an attempt to escape. But to its complete surprise, its own Divine Power was also devoured by Little Black!
What in the world is this! It can even devour Divine Power!
This time, Divine Worm finally panicked.
No matter what it is! If it can’t parasitize Xiaodie’s consciousness, then controlling Little Black might work too! And it seemed that Little Black appeared even stronger!
Thinking this, Divine Worm dove directly into the spiritual world of Little Black.
Or so it thought it was the spiritual world.
Then, it immediately noticed something was off.
Divine Worm needed to parasitize a consciousness to survive. Once it left the previous consciousness, it would instinctively enter the next one. But now, something felt very wrong. Little Black’s consciousness was extremely dispersed, almost as if it did not exist at all. Divine Worm couldn’t consolidate those consciousnesses. Not only that, but Little Black’s consciousness was even devouring each other! This was unbelievable! At this time, Little Black’s consciousness was completely separated into fragments, and the fragments were even pulling and devouring each other! And within this pulling and devouring, they even achieved a balance!
But the intrusion of Divine Worm directly disrupted this balance, and then, countless fragments of Little Black’s consciousness launched an attack on the consciousness of Divine Worm!
Divine Worm was terrified out of its wits. It had never seen consciousnesses that could attack each other, nor had it seen such actively offensive consciousnesses! What exactly was this Little Black!
Divine Worm now wanted to return to the Divine Soul, but as a god’s soul, it had already been shredded by Little Black’s terrifying devouring power! Even the Divine Soul could be shredded! Divine Worm was about to go insane!
Returning to the Divine Soul had become a pipe dream, and Little Black’s chaotic consciousness was utterly uncontrollable! Now, there was only one way left! Forcefully control Xiaodie!
Divine Worm still retained a trace of Divine Power, a cunning backdoor it had left for itself, which had actually come into use. It suddenly activated all its Divine Power, instantly escaping from Little Black’s consciousness and appearing in front of Xiaodie.
Xiaodie was watching Little Black closely at the time. She only felt that Little Black’s consciousness seemed to become more chaotic, but just then, a faint orb of light appeared in front of her.
"Eh?" Xiaodie hadn’t had time to be surprised when the orb of light had already rushed into her eyes!
Unlike Little Black’s chaotic consciousness, Xiaodie’s consciousness world was filled with order.
In a pure white space, a black sphere floated there, representing Xiaodie’s consciousness.
Every life’s consciousness is completely different. Divine Worm didn’t care what the consciousness it saw looked like.
Yes, this is exactly what I need!
Divine Worm immediately began to parasitize Xiaodie’s consciousness.
But, strangely enough, despite Xiaodie’s consciousness being full of order, she was completely unaffected by it. It couldn’t even gather any information from within Xiaodie’s consciousness. It was as if Xiaodie’s consciousness was completely sealed off, giving it no chance to parasitize at all.
How is this possible! No life with consciousness can have a completely sealed consciousness! If the consciousness was sealed, how could she think and function?
But that was exactly the case for Xiaodie!
"Eh, are you trying to parasitize my consciousness?" Xiaodie’s voice came through, startling Divine Worm. The previously pitch-black sphere suddenly changed, transforming into Xiaodie’s appearance.
"Huh, so this is what I look like in the consciousness space," Xiaodie exclaimed in surprise.
"Heh, poor child, you don’t know yet, but you’re about to become my puppet! Your devouring ability and the energy you’ve absorbed will all be mine! I will use your abilities to become the unique god in this Plane... What are you doing!"
The Divine Worm was speaking, only to realize that it had been seized by Xiaodie’s consciousness, and it hadn’t noticed at all!
"Brother Long said, if a Divine Worm intrudes into your consciousness, there’s no need to panic. These pitiful worms don’t really have much power, apart from parasitizing consciousness; they can’t do much to us," Xiaodie curiously observed the bundle of consciousness in her hand.
"But you can’t do anything to me either! I am invincible in your consciousness space!" the Divine Worm roared.
"That’s not necessarily true," Xiaodie smiled. Suddenly, golden arcs of electricity spread all over her body!
"God Eater! How is this possible!" This time, the Divine Worm finally felt fear. God Eater was a terrifying spell invented by the Giant, capable of devouring gods, let alone a small Divine Worm like itself!
"Please don’t destroy me! I know a special spell that can transform into your favorite type of blue energy matter!" the Divine Worm quickly said.
"You first," Xiaodie said, not ceasing the spell, with lightning still circling around her.
"The spell goes like this!" At this moment, the Divine Worm dared not make any sudden moves, and quickly offered up the spell it had acquired unintentionally.
"Not bad at all, with this spell, I can prepare food for myself," Xiaodie said happily.
"So..." The Divine Worm felt that Xiaodie seemed to be a reasonable person and prepared itself. As soon as Xiaodie withdrew God Eater, it would do everything in its power to try to take control of Xiaodie’s consciousness.
But in the next moment, golden lightning thundered and completely shredded the Divine Worm.
"Brother Long said, the only way to deal with the Divine Worm is to shred it directly," Xiaodie said.
Having dealt with the trouble of the Divine Worm, Xiaodie happily pounced on another bunch of matter.
"Continue enjoying the feast!" Xiaodie said to Little Black on her wrist.
At this time, Long Yi had already begun his treasure-hunting journey. Currently, entering the Upper Plane wasn’t the most crucial matter; solving the troubles in this Plane was the urgent priority. Clearly, this wasn’t something that could be done in a day or two since both parties involved were deeply elusive.
With the aid of the radar on the Great Explorer, Long Yi had already found many remnants left by the Giant. However, compared to the Lower Plane, these relics weren’t very valuable. After all, mid-level Plane technology was more advanced, space navigation technology was also more developed, and extensive space exploration left few hidden corners in this Plane. Nonetheless, Long Yi wasn’t without gains, he even found a damaged Golem. Of course, this Golem was not a later product but an early relic. When Long Yi found it, it was drifting in the cosmos. The main core was completely destroyed, only the backup core kept emitting signals in the unique manner of the Giant. Long Yi reclaimed it, noting that the Golem was severely damaged, covered in scratch marks and corrosive damage, but fortunately, the main body wasn’t too damaged. He handed the Golem over to the Great Explorer for repairs, while he continued his busy search for Cosmic Stones.
But strangely, aside from some small fragments, Long Yi almost didn’t find any large Cosmic Stones. This was totally unreasonable because the Great Explorer’s radar had briefly indicated massive Cosmic Stone signals, certainly not the kind small Cosmic Stone fragments could emit. But these signals appeared only briefly and then disappeared. When Long Yi reached the starry region, he couldn’t find any trace of Cosmic Stones whatsoever.
Strange.
This doubt remained until Long Yi discovered a sneaky spacecraft, and then he finally had his answer.
In this Plane, due to the development of space traveling, another industry was also highly developed—space piracy.
These space pirates generally plundered merchant ships for a living, without any other source of income. When monsters roamed previously, commercial trade in the entire Plane had almost stopped, causing many pirates to lose their source of economic income. Now, everything was returning to peace. Thus, the pirates resumed their activities. However, their target wasn’t just merchant ships anymore.
At that moment, Long Yi just silently watched a group of pirates busily setting up some special devices on a certain planet, which had the function of blocking energy. If one didn’t understand what they were doing at first, seeing them excavating blocks of Cosmic Stone ore from the ground made it clear.
It turned out, this planet was actually a Cosmic Stone!
Or rather, it was a part of a Cosmic Stone that hadn’t completely turned into a planet! Long Yi closely observed for a while, this was likely because when the Cosmic Stone was transforming into a planet, the process was accidentally halted, resulting in this mix of rocks and Cosmic Stones, and those pirates were actually mining ores!
Not, it wasn’t the pirates who were mining the ores, they were merely supervising. The actual mining was done by another group of people, who wore collars that restrained their energy around their necks, forced to use various tools to mine the ore from the tunnels and hand it over to another group; that group smashed the ores, separating the Cosmic Stone fragments inside, and fused those stones together.
If this place had been occupied by just those pirates, Long Yi would have just activated the Giant’s magic to forcibly extract those Cosmic Stone fragments and then leave. But there were innocent people here, and Long Yi couldn’t do that.
"Hey, guys, what are you doing?"
Long Yi jumped out from behind a rock with a smile on his face. Obviously, this planet was initially intended by the Giant to support life, so the environment here was still quite good, even if it hadn’t fully formed, but it was certainly habitable.
Seeing Long Yi appear, the pirates immediately became cautious. However, seeing that Long Yi was alone, the pirates immediately burst into laughter. (To be continued.
