Such a Hard Choice
Dark-Purple Skeleton Lord seemed unsurprised by the arrival of the other three. His shadowy, skeletal form turned towards them, and his strange voice rang out again, tinged with amusement:
"The three of you, it seems we've all encountered the same little 'accident.' According to the original Contract and competition agreement, the 'Final Showdown' of this world should have ended completely, the [Wall of Infinity] and its intelligence should have fully formed, and the carrier should have naturally perished. Then, the Four Directions us would each use our own methods to decide the final ownership of this precious 'crystallization of civilization'... But now, before the Ritual is even over, the True Lord has taken the stage prematurely and made a mess of our 'stage.' It's really troublesome."
The Burn Black Flames of the skeletal phantom, its jaw opening and closing, emitted a piercing, eerie laugh, its soul fire flickering.
"Contract? An agreement? Those are constraints on 'useful individuals.' What right do subordinates have to enjoy the protection of Contract if they can't even meet the most basic requirements of maintaining the vessel's survival according to the plan and waiting for our arrival? If this is the case for Contract Star, then the others are probably similar, right?"
His gaze swept meaningfully in the other two directions.
The female phantom, clad in ice crystal armor, spoke in a clear, cold voice, like ice striking stone, directly pointing to the crux of the matter. "The blame doesn't necessarily lie entirely with the four kingdoms. Before I descended, I caught a glimpse of a 'variable' not belonging to this world— the Survivors. Their activity has likely disrupted many planned procedures. Among them, there seems to be one that deserves our attention."
"Survivors... does that mean the opponents [Ten Thousand Worlds] has arranged for [Yuncang World] to be Survivors? Then it's not surprising..." Dark-Purple Skeleton Lord suddenly realized.
"Survivors? Short-lived creatures, I'll admit defeat if they live past three years..." The Black Flame skeleton sneered disdainfully, its soul fire surging upwards.
"Why didn't you say that back when you were being treated like a monster by Survivors of Demigod rank?" Dark-Purple Skeleton Lord seemed to recall something and chuckled inexplicably.
"... Are you tired of living?" The Black Flame Skeleton remained silent for a moment before finally choosing to threaten Dark-Purple Skeleton Lord.
"Ahem, don't shout... So," Dark-Purple Skeleton Lord steered the conversation back on track, his shadowy arm pointing to the [Wall of Infinity], "How exactly should we 'divide' this situation? Should we continue with the original plan, each trying to 'capture' that New Life intelligence, and whoever succeeds gets the prize? Or...?"
"It would be safer to attack together and take control of Him first."
The ethereal female figure calmly suggested, "To avoid unnecessary complications, that AI has already taken control of most of the world's armed forces... We cannot give anyone the opportunity to reap the benefits without contributing anything."
"Hehehe... Join forces? Of course!" The Black Flame skeleton chuckled, but the soul fire in its eye sockets flickered dangerously. "However, let me make this clear beforehand: some of you better not get any funny ideas."
The attention of the three "people" instantly focused on the dark green mass of flesh.
The dark green mass of flesh, which had remained silent throughout, paused for a moment as if dead. "Agreed. The vessel is too weak; I don't want to speak."
"Ha, the carrier is too weak? Who told you to choose the 'Asia-Japan United Kingdom' in the first place?"
The Black Flame skeleton let out a soft, emotionless chuckle. "The 'descent vessel' they provided is probably the weakest of the Nine Pillars of the Yuncang Civilization, right? The fact that it could bear a portion of your consciousness without collapsing is already an achievement."
"Purple waste, your vessel seems quite good."
"First in Contract Star, second in the world." Dark-Purple Skeleton Lord looked up at the rapidly moving golden light in the distance and replied casually.
"First in Contract Star, second in the world... then this world still needs to be trained." The skull nodded seriously.
As the silver-white Laboratory, concealed invisibly, was silently transported from the remnant region of the Second Habitable Planet to its designated location on the outer edge of the [Wall of Infinity], Su Luo's gaze was already firmly drawn to the strange phenomenon on the other side of deep space.
A dazzling golden light was tearing through the dark curtain of the universe at an astonishing speed, hurtling towards the [Wall of Infinity]. The light was pure and condensed, carrying a solemn and vast rhythm.
Su Luo's first reaction was that they were people from the Faith Side, after all, most of these guys were glittering with gold.
But as she observed, Su Luo sensed the terrifying power contained within that golden light.
More intuitively, as the distance closed and the observation power increased, the markers of the [Ten Thousand Worlds] system clearly appeared above the golden light.
Lv.100!
Another one.
Su Luo remained calm, assessing the situation.
Deeply thinking...
Run! (Deep thought process completed, time taken: 0.0001 seconds)
Su Luo thought for a moment, then immediately set off towards the Laboratory, just like the others from [ Under the Under the Starry Sky].
"This plot development is starting to resemble those fantasy works where the power system falls apart later on?"
Beings above Lv.90 should be extremely rare in the [Yuncang World], belonging to the level of strategic Intimidation. However, in a short period of time, first the Yuncang Intelligence broke through the seal, and now a golden Lv.100 has appeared... It's as if the combat power in this world has become inflated.
Not to mention, Su Luo could vaguely sense that the Four Directions of the [Wall of Infinity] seemed to be sealed off by some intense energy, giving her a feeling that she couldn't escape no matter what.
"It seems this place is indeed not safe to stay any longer."
While speaking to Yuncang No. 29, Su Luo also charged the Laboratory through the wireless power transmission network of the [Wall of Infinity].
"You should definitely run, but where can you run to?" Yuncang No. 29 looked up, as if he had received some information from the Mainframe.
The next instant, Su Luo received a message from Yuncang No. 0.
"What do you mean by 'a World Will will sprang from Yuncang Star,' No. 0 felt an inherent sense of Suppression? Of the Nine Pillars of the Yuncang Civilization, seven are confirmed dead. Two died at the hands of other Pillars, and one was confirmed to have been killed by an intruder identified as belonging to the 'Cultivation Side.' The remaining four, each Pillar belonging to one of the Four Great Powers, became the vessels for four terrifying beings from another world?"
Su Luo's gaze swept over the rapidly charging Laboratory, then glanced at the dozens of complex computing tasks hanging on the control panel—these were simulations and analyses he had pre-set for subsequent research projects using the computing power interface previously opened by Yuncang No. 0.
Su Luo hesitated slightly.
Running away was a must.
But should we run away immediately, or run away immediately?
This is such a difficult decision.
