Within the abyss.
In the dimly lit environment, the surrounding water pressure had soared to a level that even a normal three-ring road could not withstand.
Looking around, all I could see was pitch black; I couldn't see anything at all.
Zhang Xinfan led the way, with Lin Hui following behind.
Unaffected by the surrounding darkness, both had a clear destination and accelerated forward.
Before long, a huge black whale appeared ahead.
The whale's back is covered with numerous holes, from which tiny air bubbles are constantly being swallowed and expelled.
Along its sides are rows of square windows, from which a faint blue fluorescent light can be seen emanating from within.
"This is the Black Whale Treasury... I've put all my slightly valuable items inside. Please take whatever you need." Zhang Xinfan pointed.
"... It's okay if you take it all?" Lin Hui raised an eyebrow.
"Take it all if you can manage it," Zhang Xinfan said magnanimously at this moment.
Lin Hui said no more, looked ahead, and vanished in a flash. The next moment, he appeared in front of a window of the black whale. His life lines flashed, and eight life lines rapidly appeared on the entire massive body of the black whale, with a ninth one quickly taking shape.
Lin Hui felt relieved and casually pressed his hand against the window, giving it a gentle squeeze.
The crystal glass shattered, and others took the opportunity to slip inside.
Inside the Black Whale, there are rooms of varying sizes connected by a corridor.
It looks a bit like a huge string of beads.
Some translucent humanoid figures covered in sticky tentacles were wandering aimlessly.
Lin Hui turned his gaze away from the patrolling figures and glanced at the clutter piled up in the corner of the room.
Gold, gemstones with special auras, crystals, pearls, and various antique weapons, furniture, and armor—he wandered through room after room. Soon, a dark stone tablet taller than a person caught Lin Hui's attention.
A faint golden Existence Force could be seen on the stone tablet. However, this gold seemed to be covered by something and was not very clear. Lin Hui stepped forward, reached out and gently scratched it, and immediately the stone tablet shone brightly with golden light.
A dazzling Existence Force erupted instantly, releasing blinding golden light from the small opening.
This was a light that only Lin Hui could see; Zhang Xinfan, on the outside, knew nothing about it.
"Looks like this is it..." Lin Hui's lips curled into a smile. He roughly estimated that the amount of Existence Force from this stone tablet was slightly less than that of the Divine Food Statue, but it was still pretty good.
Now that he had found it, he quickened his pace and swept across the area in all directions.
About two minutes later.
The black whale trembled slightly, and a humanoid phantom suddenly flew out of a window beside it.
The illusory figure returned to Zhang Xinfan's side, solidifying and becoming clearly Lin Hui, who had just looted a lot of good stuff.
"How is it? Is there anything you're satisfied with?" Zhang Xinfan asked quickly.
"These are just some trivial things, I just took a few and left. This compensation is far from enough," Lin Hui said in a deep voice. "Then... what else do you want?" Zhang Xinfan felt a lump in her throat, knowing that this guy wasn't so easy to please.
"A farm. I want you to compensate me with a decent-sized farm," Lin Hui said directly.
A farm!?
Zhang Xinfan's expression changed drastically. As a Fusion Faction, how could he not know that cognitive crystals were their most precious asset, and the breeding farm was the place where cognitive crystals could be produced stably and cyclically?
These places have already been well-established, with every step designed to ultimately reap the benefits of knowledge, making it extremely convenient.
Even though he was a powerful consciousness born from the Supreme Sea Abyss, he only had one breeding farm world at his disposal.
It can produce a suitable amount of cognitive crystals each year, barely enough to sustain its consumption.
And now Lin Hui actually wants his only breeding farm in the world...
Zhang Xinfan fell silent for a moment.
Seeing his silence, Lin Hui grinned.
What? You're not happy about it?
A hint of danger flashed between the two.
Zhang Xinfan's heart skipped a beat.
"Alright! This is my only breeding farm, which I worked so hard to cultivate. I'm giving it to you!" he said in a deep voice.
"Come with me!"
He turned around and flew rapidly towards the seabed in the distance.
After flying for about ten minutes, a huge green fluorescent sphere finally appeared in front of us.
The sphere was sealed and enveloped by layers of transparent gray barriers.
From the outside, it's clear that this sphere is a smooth, round world sphere.
However, the condition of this sphere is far better than those outside.
Tiny, dark green tendrils acted as conduits, injecting large amounts of unknown green mist into the spherical world.
"This is Zhuqi World, the breeding farm I snatched from another old guy. It houses a total of 1.2 billion people, all of whom are a race called the White-Haired Clan, and all of them have white hair without exception." Zhang Xinfan gazed at the green fluorescent sphere, a deep sense of reluctance showing in his eyes.
"Check it yourself... This is my most precious possession."
Upon hearing this, Lin Hui didn't waste any words. He stepped forward and swept his mind through the layers of outer barriers at lightning speed, piercing into the interior of the world sphere.
Inside this sphere was a small planet, only the size of the moon.
The planet has cities, towns, mountains, and oceans—everything imaginable.
White-Haired Clan humans are no different from ordinary humans, the only difference being their hair color.
Of course, this is from the perspective of appearance. In reality, the white-haired people here have a huge and distinctive feature.
That is, they are extremely open about sex, and procreation is casual and rampant. The reproductive capacity of the tribe is extremely high, and each adult can basically have more than five children.
This is essentially cognitive harvesting; every so often, they use the guise of disease to take away their lives.
Otherwise, the world would have been overcrowded long ago, with no room left for anything.
Lin Hui observed carefully for a while and found that only a very few places within the world sphere had a faint golden hue, while the rest were all normal. A thought struck Lin Hui, and he scanned the dark stone tablet he had just put away with his mind. Soon, he found this black stone tablet in the center of a city within the world sphere.
This thing can be found not only in city centers, but also in desolate, wild areas.
The White-Haired Clan seem to refer to it as Suppression Stele.
They firmly believed that it was precisely because of the existence of the Suppression Stele that everyone could have a continuous supply of food to ensure their survival.
Yes, the White-Haired Clan in this world do not work or labor; all they do every day is mate and Propagation.
So the whole world is obsessed with constant mating.
They believed that the Suppression Stele was the source of the food that fell from the sky.
Therefore, the beliefs of a large number of the White-Haired Clan were gathered on the Suppression Stele, forming stone monuments whose Existence Force was obscured.
"Okay, let's go with him..." Lin Hui regained his composure and nodded. "Next, how do we relocate this thing?" "The migration of a world isn't that easy. First, we need to open a passage, and then we'll need large calamity creatures to help pull it," Zhang Xinfan said. "It's alright..." Lin Hui reached out and gripped the sword hilt. A surge of violent Wind Energy instantly disintegrated all the barriers and tentacles around the world sphere, completely enveloping it.
At the same time, a huge Wind Disaster appeared on the edge of the sphere, and the world sphere was forcibly shoved through it.
"That's about enough, I've given you everything I can..." Zhang Xinfan sighed.
"One more is needed." Lin Hui smiled.
"What?"
laugh!
Formless Sword flashed by, and Zhang Xinfan's consciousness briefly fell into darkness. His entire body, along with his soul, was completely shattered, decomposed, and turned into basic particles.
Lin Hui glanced around.
Hopefully, we won't have the chance to meet again.
The words had barely left his lips when the others followed the massive crack and shot into it, disappearing from sight.
The cracks slowly healed, but the massive amount of Wind Disaster and Disaster Energy that had spilled out continued to relentlessly shatter everything around them.
After a long while, Zhang Xinfan emerged from the darkness, his face pale. He looked in the direction Lin Hui had left, a hint of resentment flashing in his eyes.
But there was nothing he could do.
"Such arrogance and domineering behavior, you'll get your comeuppance sooner or later!" He could only curse viciously.
The Ashes Domain.
Golden floating islands drifted slowly through the falling gray dust.
This is the Ashes Realm, and also the largest area of Ashes erosion in the surrounding area.
Gray Roc and Lin Hui stood face to face on a desolate golden floating island, one with a distorted expression and the other with a joyful look.
"I've given you both farms, what more do you want?!" Gray Roc roared.
"I just couldn't resist taking a little more because the environment here is nice." Lin Hui naturally wouldn't answer that it was because the Ashes were all gold that he misunderstood the exact location and quantity of the power of Existence Force.
So much so that they decided to take everything that shone with golden light.
This decision emptied Gray Roc's entire private treasury in an instant, and the two breeding farms he had painstakingly acquired were also transferred to Lin Hui.
"You...!!!" Gray Roc was on the verge of tears.
He considered using all the power in the calamity to fight the opponent, but when he thought of the True Lord of Seven Destructions of the Nine Heavens Gate... his confidence immediately waned. In the secondary calamities, he had never heard of anyone who could reach the Seven Extinctions level.
The transition from materialization to Colloidal Dissociation is extremely difficult to overcome because most Fusion Faction become weaker as the process progresses.
The erosion of cognition may not be immediately apparent, but it actually weakens the aptitude and potential of those who Fusion Faction.
This is why many powerful individuals, when faced with a last resort, choose to accept and embrace calamity in Changsheng. It is a path of no return, a predetermined future where they become monsters at the mercy of calamity.
"But this is about right." Lin Hui was in a good mood because he hadn't expected that the Existence Force he had gained from the Ashes would reside in a kind of ethereal smoke.
This is something called Blood Smoke, which floats in the air above the Ashes- polluted area year-round. It is subjected to a large amount of high-concentration pressure and friction from various forces, and finally condenses due to some strange factor.
The Existence Force within this Blood Smoke is equivalent to more than two statues of the Divine Food Statue.
Very concentrated.
"The harvest was quite good. With that, all the grudges between us are settled. I hope we will never meet again," Lin Hui said with a smile. His figure suddenly disappeared, shooting into the huge Wind Disaster Rift of the relocated world sphere in the distance.
Gray Roc was left with a contorted expression, not daring to utter a single word.
Unlike Zhang Xinfan, he was genuinely terrified of Lin Hui.
"Seclusion! I must immediately go into seclusion to gather more knowledge. Then I'll move to another region and never come back here again!" Gray Roc turned and charged forward, his figure transforming into a gray roc tens of thousands of miles long, flying at full speed and disappearing into the distant horizon.
