The First Lesson

For Survivors who have crossed the sea of stars, the first lesson in the [Yuncang World] is far more bloody and realistic than expected: survival depends on speed and stealth, and hesitation means defeat.

After all, no one expected that [Ten Thousand Worlds] would be so treacherous, not only placing their initial teleportation point in deep space, but also giving the enemy location information!

If the first group of Survivors cannot escape within two minutes, the orbital laser will rush in at the speed of light to greet them.

Nine advanced worlds, with over eight hundred of their respective world's top experts, faced not the anticipated battle lines or heroic challenges the moment they were forcibly descended upon, but a completely unequal, long-range hunt.

If not for the top players in each world possessing incredible means of survival or early warning, the first wave of "light-speed greetings" would have been enough to cause heavy casualties. Even so, almost every world experienced chaos, evasion, and tactical adjustments in the first few minutes.

[Wu Fengzi] is one of the guys with flashy tactics. He ranks in the top 20 in his own Survival World, and he's also a Lv.88 expert in [Desolate Continent] with his own unique skills.

In the boundless universe, a group of people with refined auras appeared out of thin air. After about half a minute, their figures disappeared one after another, leaving only [Wu Fengzi] floating alone in place.

The first teleportation was forced, so everyone arrived. Upon arrival, they felt the omnipresent, subtle yet deadly sense of Lock-On—

The world's World Master —a burly man whose aura was as imposing as a primordial mountain—made a decision almost instantly. His immense will swept over all who had descended. "This place is rife with killing intent, invisible and intangible, impossible to break through in close combat! Everyone, retreat for now! We will return at a later date after we have ascertained the truth!"

Then, [Wu Fengzi] was kept on because he was a special case.

Of course, not everyone paid any attention to the Realm World Master. Two Survivors stayed behind, not only to conserve "Source," but also because of the instinctive impulse that Martial Dao experts have when facing unknown dangers.

Usually, it's because they've practiced so much that their brains have become muscle.

"These guys, whose brains are all about muscles Blood Qi, what's gotten into them today? So cautious... It's a pity they overdid it during the fight and accidentally revealed their abilities."

As soon as he finished speaking, his body seemed to lose its Innate form and constraints, melting, separating, and multiplying from the edges, like a sandcastle encountering the tide.

One [Wu Fengzi] became two, two became four, four became eight... In the blink of an eye, the area where he was originally located was filled with thousands upon thousands of "miniature Wu Fengzi" who had shrunk dozens of times, were only a foot tall, but had the same eyebrows, eyes and body shape as him.

Each of them exuded a real aura of flesh and blood and Martial Dao fluctuations, only in much smaller quantities.

A minute passed, and the space was filled with more than a million tiny [Wu Fengzi]. At the same time, his [Ten Thousand Worlds] level became Lv.91.

"Where to?" "Where to?" "I'll fuck you, don't break up with me again!"

Various subtle echoes of consciousness resonated within [Wu Fengzi's ] main consciousness. This feeling was peculiar, as if he were simultaneously watching countless different surveillance videos and directing countless bodies.

"Um... I see a planet over there, let's go there."

Millions of tiny figures turned around in unison, their dense and orderly Blood Qi about to accelerate, when a strong sense of crisis descended!

In an instant, a solid laser beam tens of meters thick pierced through, and [Wu Fengzi] instantly felt his body dissipate into hundreds of thousands of fragments, taking the two Survivors with him.

"Grass!"

Hundreds of thousands of mouths moved in unison, and [Wu Fengzi] didn't have time to judge the attack method or others, so he immediately sent the other hundreds of thousands of Clones scattering and running away.

In the blink of an eye, hundreds of thousands of tiny Clones, like Swarm, suddenly burst forth in all directions at different speeds and along different trajectories. They were tiny and light in weight, instantly leaving countless fine streaks of light in the Void.

Immediately afterwards, a second, a third, a fourth... terrifying beams of light shot in from different directions and angles, each flash accompanied by the complete Annihilation of a Clone.

Fortunately, the Clones were numerous enough, scattered enough, and accelerated extremely quickly, significantly reducing the proportion of damage caused by subsequent rounds of attacks.

However, this was accompanied by a sharp decline in the main consciousness's Control over its increasingly dispersed and distant Clones. Countless noisy, chaotic, and even rebellious secondary consciousnesses surged like a tide against [Wu Fengzi's] main mind.

"Minions, listen to my command! Fly towards those planets, or even those giant structures flying in space."

"Who are you calling younger? You're calling me older..."

"No, it's so comfortable here. I want to wander forever without a care in the world."

"A high-speed object is approaching! It's huge! It's invisible! Ah--"

The incessant chatter in his mind was giving [Wu Fengzi] a headache, forcing him to constantly accelerate to dodge potential overpowered attacks.

"There seem to be a lot of giant, fast-moving objects nearby. My Clones keep dying... The value of my Clones has been realized, but now they're too slow, and I'm guaranteed to get caught."

With a thought, the Clones around [Wu Fengzi] slowly approached and strangely Aggregation together. Soon, an Aggregation Body entity, more than a hundred times larger than the other Clones, about the size of an infant, and with a more solid form, gradually took shape, although it was still a small karami.

"Okay, now..."

Bang!

A very faint impact, yet one that sent a tremor through the core of the [Wu Fengzi] Aggregation Body, was heard. It was a kinetic energy projectile, only the thickness of a finger, dark gold in color, with a surface flowing with special energy.

[Wu Fengzi]'s main consciousness went slightly dark, and the next moment it appeared on several other Clones.

"As expected... the other side isn't stupid. This airspace has been completely blocked and monitored. A highly stealthy army with unimaginable mobility—I can't see them, yet they can pinpoint my location precisely... Is this how Technology Side warfare is played out?"

[Wu Fengzi] had a slight headache, feeling that the opponent was very difficult to deal with. The opponent's movement speed was too high, and he was intercepted as soon as he tried to speed up. The opponent was highly stealthy and he was not good at scouting. He could not even see the opponent's main body, let alone fight it head-on.

After a moment's thought, [Wu Fengzi] began to sense the Clone that had been destroyed.

There were so many dead Clones; almost Clone flying in any direction would be destroyed by lasers, projectiles, particle cannons, etc. The opponent's defense network was too comprehensive, and the number of defensive units was also ridiculously large.

After observing for a moment longer, [Wu Fengzi] discerned the two criteria the opponent's attack was targeting:

Energy fluctuations and high-speed targets. Any location near where skills or Martial Dao Domain are used on a large scale will soon be attacked. Any target traveling at a speed of over 100 kilometers per second, whether it is an object or Clone, will be directly Lock-On and destroyed. This should be some kind of intelligent program.

The several Clones possessed by [The Wu Fengzi] died again. As his main consciousness shifted, he came up with some solutions...
