Chapter 1617: Chapter 1221: Something Bad Has Happened
"Girl! Don’t scare me! Didn’t you say that other than a part of their Dragon Souls perishing, the rest were all in that Dragon Soul storage?"
"Yes, I did describe it that way." the Future spoke.
"Our language generally doesn’t describe things that way! Only when there’s a lot left would one describe it that way!" Long Yi was almost freaking out.
"Alright, I understand, I will add this note to my language system." the Future spoke.
"Well, I think, things have gotten interesting, I just hope that damned Worm doesn’t bring about a Divinized Giant Dragon capable of wielding Divine Power." Long Yi glanced at Simu, then through Simu’s expression, Long Yi knew he had once again hit the nail on the head.
"Against the wind, this is a freaking epic against-the-wind situation." Long Yi freaked out.
"Or there’s one way." Simu said.
"Spit it out!" Long Yi immediately jumped up.
"You can enter the Divine Realm immediately, with your abilities, you should continuously become stronger, enter the Central Divine Ring, and completely obliterate that Worm. Avenge us." Simu said.
"What do you mean avenge you?"
"Because of the way the Divine Realm operates, the time you obliterate the Worm might be just a millisecond from now, but it could also be a hundred thousand years later."
"Go on, that plan is nonsense!" Long Yi waved his hand irritably.
"Let me think, how all the historic against-the-wind matches were fought. With fewer against more, it boils down to being careful and cautious; advancing step by step; concentrating advantages; attacking weaknesses, and most importantly, not to be reckless! I don’t freaking believe I can’t defeat even a damn worm?"
"I think, it’s time for a series of visits."
Long Yi said.
"That... I have another piece of bad news." Elsa said.
"How bad could this bad news be?" Long Yi said.
"The Worms’ traces suddenly appeared among The Forgotten Ones, all direct proxies I controlled are dead." Elsa said.
"A second projection of the Worm?" Long Yi widened his eyes looking at Simu.
"Impossible! Definitely not a second projection, it doesn’t have that capability!" Simu said.
At that moment, Long Yi suddenly paused, hurriedly took out the Cosmic Stone Greatsword from his personal space. This Greatsword’s true form is Lingling, which is Crystal Demon Empress Belle’s avatar.
As soon as the Greatsword appeared, it immediately transformed into Belle.
"Big trouble!" Belle’s consciousness cried out as soon as it arrived.
"What exactly happened?" Long Yi asked.
Belle immediately started describing everything from the beginning.
Within The Forgotten Ones, many Worms chose to merge with their hosts to hide from the hive’s summoning, because they lost their ability to infect, and finding those infected among hundreds of millions of The Forgotten Ones was too challenging. Thus, Long Yi didn’t delve further, after all, those worms had merged with their hosts and relatively speaking would cherish their lives more, and were unlikely to cause trouble.
But in the instant the Worm God arrived, those merged hosts underwent divinization unexpectedly. Overnight, hundreds of individuals claiming to be apostles of the Worm appeared. These, without exception, were The Forgotten Ones infected by the Worms and had merged cognitions. They began pinpoint targeting and eliminating all The Forgotten Ones under Elsa’s control as soon as they appeared. And the means of control over them by Belle’s Crystal Poison had also failed. The Crystal Poison contained in their Crystal Poison armor had to be maintained at an extremely low level, otherwise, it would be immediately detected.
Due to this, the entire monitoring method maintaining the system of The Forgotten Ones totally failed.
"It’s the hatching of the eggs," Simu said.
"What do you mean?"
"Every piece of the Worm contains the complete information of a Worm, it just needs conditions to be completed, and once merged with a consciousness, it enters an egg state. Worm egg can’t continue infecting other lives, but needs conditions to hatch. I finally know why that Worm only descended a projection rather than an Avatar because it used more power to hatch the eggs!"
"Worms," Long Yi sighed deeply.
Then he suddenly widened his eyes. This meant that the three major planes were no longer safe!
"What will these hatched worms do?" Long Yi roared.
"The good news is they don’t possess the ability to continue infecting, but they will have partial Divine Status and Divine Power. If things go as expected, they will probably wreak havoc across the three major planes," Simu said.
"That bastard!" Long Yi cursed loudly, then said to Simu, "Can you handle the problems in the middle planes? Go to those planes, connect with the Dragon Clan and eliminate all those Worms, I’ll figure out a way to deal with the others."
Simu nodded, saying: "Thank you."
Long Yi patted Simu’s shoulder saying: "Don’t waste time, who knows what other troubles may arise next. Let’s deal with the current troubles first." Then Long Yi turned to the two Dragon Clan elders, "You all follow Simu, and don’t forget to train the new techniques I just taught you."
In the quiet universe space, Long Yi and Elsa sat in the Future’s cabin, Long Yi holding Lingling’s Crystal Core. Simu had just torn the space letting the dragon crowd and Simu enter the middle plane. And the huge Genesis Artifact was quietly hovering there, completely sealing off the Dragon Star plane. At this moment, the Genesis Artifact could do nothing because it had used all its energy to seal the entire plane.
