"Eh~ Bo~de?" The little snake-man tilted his head and made an indistinct sound, then excitedly waved his four arms. "Eh Bode, eh Bode!"

"Boss, can you hurry up? It's exhausting to block out those people's senses outside. I need a raise." Shadow B, true to his reputation as a master of ruining the atmosphere, wailed from the side.

Given Zeng Yunge's personality, it's impossible for her to trust Lu Li completely. Although there were no surveillance cameras in the secret room, both the invisible monitor behind her and Zhang Yanqige outside were watching Lu Li.

Zhang Yanqige, whose ability is "Ability Synchronization," possesses extremely strong perception due to his ability. This is why Lu Li summoned the Envy Mask immediately. With the Shadow Assassin's perception shielding power combined with Lu Li's dream illusion technique, it is enough to traverse the sky and sea, summoning more subordinates.

"Abaddon, come here." Lilith reached out and took the little snake-man, without hindering Lu Li from continuing to summon.

The surrounding offerings had all had their life force devoured by Lilith, transforming them into orange snakes. Now, only their souls and blood remained. However, since Lu Li was the master of the Shadow Dreamlands and lacked sufficient life force, it wasn't a major issue.

[The Flame in My Heart]

Masks appeared around Lu Li, the souls of the Demonspawn were sacrificed into the Shadow Dreamlands, and Lu Li recited the final incantation:

[Born from an invincible war god]

[Gathering the Souls of the Ghouls]

[Seizing external things for one's own use]

[A creature with ten heads and ten faces]

[In the name of the creator]

Come see me.

[Beast of All Beings!]

Ten ten-headed, ten-faced All Living Beast appeared in the space. At this point, the summoned creatures were complete. Lu Li put away most of the masks, and the All Living Beast entered the dream world under Lu Li's control, leaving only four people standing beside Lu Li.

One is Shadow B, who is determined to stay no matter what, and the other is Lilith. However, after Lilith completes her role completion, she is able to retract her snake tail and transform into a human. As for the remaining two, they are the Wrathful Sin Zack and the Dark River's follower, the Fearful Evil Spirit Liu Liuliu.

After Zaka was completely absorbed by the original sin of rage, his body's originally unstable structure was also optimized. He now looks like a blackish-purple humanoid gel, and the tentacle-like vines under his feet have disappeared.

Liu Liuliu, a believer of the Dark River in the main world, was covered by the power of fear after losing his physical body. He was transformed by the Fear Sun in the Shadow Dreamlands and became the evil spirit he is now. His transparent spirit body is dark blue, with black mist floating around him, making his face impossible to see.

Pushing open the door to the secret chamber, one sees Zhang Yanqige looking displeased. Leaning against a pillar, he glances at the four people behind Lu Li after Lu Li emerges, nods, and says, "These are the four assistants you summoned? Hurry up and register them. After that, go and complete that so-called 'Brood Nest' experiment."

Lu Li didn't say anything, but Lilith glanced at Zhang Yanqige and silently remembered him. To her, Lu Li was a supreme deity. In order not to ruin Lu Li's plans, she wouldn't act impulsively, but this act of disrespect would be remembered.

With the information about Gale Nine Songs flashing through his mind, Lu Li finished registering and headed to the laboratory. Eight of Gale Nine Songs were heroes of the Windless Organization, and of these eight heroes, only Zeng Yunge and Guan Hongge survived to this day.

The deaths of the other six were plausible: they were either surrounded by a large number of Demonspawn while fighting the Demon Calamity, killed by monsters while fighting the Star Calamity, or assassinated by remnants of the Windless Organization.

Lu Li had read the news from that year and received some intelligence from the Windless Organization. He confirmed that while some of the deaths of the other six people might have been due to bad luck, most of them had actually been victims of a dark force. The most likely culprit was Zhang Yanqige, the only one who was not from the Windless Organization.

Zeng Yunge's White Vapor Hand has an extremely high potential. Combined with Zhang Yanqige's abilities, he can stack various abilities on top of it. In fact, Zeng Yunge was at his strongest when Gale Nine Songs was still around.

At that time Zeng Yunge's White Vapor Hand combined five abilities, killing a Type III Star Calamity in one strike. It was during that incident that the Gale Society truly took off, absorbing a large number of people to live in Wind Sky City.

However, as Gale Nine Songs continued to die, Zeng Yunge also kept cultivating new heroes who could cooperate with him, such as the previous Dust Messenger, who, through Ability Synchronization, allowed the White Vapor Hand to absorb a large amount of dust and gain more powerful strength.

However, because their abilities didn't coordinate well, they were still in training, and unexpectedly, they died here.

"Did Lu Li summon these four people?" Zeng Yunge looked at the register and nodded.

"Brother, some of these four people are clearly not experimental assistants, but rather seem to be his personal brute force..." Zhang Yanqige said from the side, puzzled.

"I understand." Zeng Yunge interrupted Zhang Yanqige and nodded, saying, "He's an ambitious man. I'd find it strange if he didn't take this opportunity to summon some helpers."

"The most important issue now is the construction of the Brood Nest." Zeng Yunge's expression was both solemn and thoughtful.

"It's been so long since we've gone all out. Suitable heroes aren't easy to find, so we have to find another way." Zeng Yunge took out the plan for the Brood Nest and said, "That monster can spawn a large number of units with uniform characteristics."

"Most importantly, if the host of these military units doesn't have any special genes, then those units can inherit a unified ability from the mother. They all have the same frequency. Do you understand what I mean?"

"You mean to Synchronization their abilities with yours?" Zhang Yanqige's expression became excited. "So, as long as there are enough units with the same frequency, your stacked abilities can grow indefinitely?"

"That's right. Back then, having mastered this ability, why would we need to fear anyone else? If we give Lu Li some benefits now, he'll pay it back sooner or later," Zeng Yunge said confidently.

At this moment, Lu Li also saw the prototype of the killing weapon, the Brood Nest. It was locked in a cultivation tank, the nutrient solution mixed with various anesthetic substances, and its body was also locked with an ability suppressor to prevent it from obtaining the Arc Light ability from Mori. Even with this monster's evolutionary ability, it was calculated that it would take a year to adapt to this environment.

Lu Li tapped on the special glass of the cultivation tank, but there was no response from the killing weapon inside. However, Lu Li could feel a sense of perception on his body.

"It seems that consuming the brains of two people has made you much smarter; at least you've learned to hide." Lu Li felt it was a real pity for this monster, but it was also a good pity, as the Brood Nest Plan could only truly begin because of it.
