A quarter of the insect's body appeared on an unfamiliar, Ancient Wilderness night.
"Impossible, impossible... The teacher is so Luck..."
Without time to repair his body, Wen Jing immediately communicated with the newly acquired special Secret Treasure Gate.
She hoped that her teacher would hide in the Secret Treasure Gate at the last moment, and then, as mischievously as before, jump out and tell her that she was still alive.
The next moment, the Wilderness Weapon she had encountered when she acquired the Tactical Glasses resurfaced in her consciousness.
"Teacher! Teacher!"
Wen Jing repeatedly tried to communicate with Bai using his mind, hoping to find some trace of Dean Bai.
However, it was completely silent inside.
Even the Secret Treasure Gate is telling her that her teacher is really dead...
Completely, utterly, without a trace of material or spiritual substance.
Wen Jing the entire day waiting for the changes in time and space within the Spacetime Amber, without any emotion.
But even at this moment, the insects cannot shed tears.
No, she has no right to despair.
She was the one least able to accept this outcome.
If she was able to conjure up abilities like Gravity Silk and Consciousness Diversion of thin air—abilities that shouldn't exist—why can't she have other abilities as well?
The next moment, Wen Jing's energy erupted, directly activating the ' Gluttony ' mode that devoured everything.
Starting from the ground beneath our feet, all matter, including the earth and air, is directly absorbed into the newly formed black hole.
Whether it's reversing time, reversing cause and effect... or some other unimaginable ability, no matter how difficult or how long it takes, she will revive her teacher!
Chapter 172
This is a strange forest world existing under the eternal night sky, where there is no sun, moon, or stars, only the faint light emanating from the forest itself.
It is somewhat similar to the underground of the Scorching Thirst World, except that there is no rocky 'sky' here.
Everything looked beautiful, like a dream, yet there was an unsettling silence, and the air was filled with the unique sweet and pungent smell of fungi and strange energy fluctuations.
Wen Jing, who had transformed into a ' Gluttony ' state, instantly turned into a tiny black dot the size of a grain of rice.
But light, matter, and even space itself began to Extreme Speed bend and collapse toward this point, and a massive amount of matter was sucked in, forming a violently distorted horizon at the edge of absolute darkness.
"Whoosh..."
Besides air, light, and dust spores, the first 'physical entities' to suffer are the thick, fluorescent moss on the ground.
Moss with weak root systems was scooped up in large swaths as if by an invisible giant shovel, and quickly disappeared into the newly formed black hole.
At the same time, the black hole is instinctively moving towards a location with higher energy.
Wherever it passed, large swathes of light in the forest were extinguished, leaving behind black earth radiating faint warmth.
In the forest ahead, a dozen or so small rhinoceros Wilderness Beast covered in rock-like carapaces were feeding.
Their disproportionately large mouths, like grinding mills, rapidly devoured the fluorescent moss on the ground.
Moo?
Suddenly, the rhinos raised their heads in confusion, not understanding what was happening, when a terrifying gravitational force acted on their massive bodies.
"Bang bang bang!!"
The next moment, the thick rock armor twisted and shattered like paper under the terrifying crushing force, tearing and stretching along with the tough flesh beneath, transforming into a mixed stream of energy and matter, which was then swallowed by the black hole.
The violent turmoil awakened the silent forest.
Not far away, on the giant, glowing mushrooms that were tens of meters tall, the tempting glowing fruits and buds all came to life, revealing the Mimicry lizards wrapped around the stems.
However, before they could escape, the black hole, which had grown to the size of an eyeball after devouring the rhinoceros herd, had already arrived.
The giant luminous mushroom was as fragile as a sandcastle in the face of the terrifying suction force. Its stem broke instantly, and its huge cap collapsed, turning into luminous fragments and highly poisonous spores, forming a 'halo' around the edge of the black hole.
The Mimicry lizards, now capable of movement, sensed impending doom; their skin flashed and changed color wildly as they attempted to escape.
Unfortunately, under the Gravitational Field of a black hole, these struggles are futile. Like insects trapped by flypaper, they disappear at a speed slightly slower than a broken mushroom.
In the forest where Giant mushrooms grow, there is a winding stream. The water flowing in the stream is not water, but a thick liquid with a metallic sheen. The sand and gravel at the bottom of the stream shimmer with a diamond-like luster as it is washed by the mercury-like liquid.
This 'water' itself is highly toxic, and no plants can grow around the riverbanks; they all draw nutrients diluted by the soil.
This is a problem for the creatures here, but not for Wen Jing.
"Splash..."
Beyond the giant mushroom forest, the entire silvery river was pulled up by a powerful gravitational force, like a dazzling ribbon stretching across the sky and continuously flowing into the black hole.
The enormous commotion finally alarmed the overlord of this world.
"Roar!"
Accompanied by a menacing roar, a huge shadow rose from the upper reaches of the river.
It was a Western dragon with a wingspan of over ten meters, its entire body covered in obsidian scales.
The dragon soared into the sky, its semi-transparent wings shimmering with energy, leaving a trail of light like fireflies behind it as it flew. Its gaze quickly locked onto the instigator of the turmoil.
As the apex predator in this food chain, the dragon has never been afraid of anyone. It immediately swooped down from the sky and unleashed its breath on the darkness.
The pale beam of light, which had been invincible in this forest, shot towards the black hole... and then, nothing more.
The powerful energy attack was absorbed by the black hole without causing a ripple, like a mud ox sinking into the sea.
Instead, the dragon's dive caused it to enter the black hole's powerful Gravitational Field.
A sense of urgency made it panic and try to back away and create distance, but it was too late.
The space around the dragon seemed to have turned into viscous amber, and an irresistible force held it firmly in place.
No matter how frantically it flapped its wings, its wing membranes shining brightly, it was still irresistibly dragged into the dark abyss, where it was completely swallowed up along with its fear and power.
As time ticked by, the black hole swept across the entire forest, carving out wide and silent 'paths of death' through the fluorescent forest.
When Wen Jing finally shed her form and reappeared, all she could see was emptiness and deathly silence.
All matter and energy were absorbed by her and became part of her body.
Feeling the surging vitality and power within his body, Wen Jing looked at the panel in his consciousness.
Life: 680
Strength: 676
Speed: 565
Spirit: 353
In her Gluttony state, her devouring efficiency was terrifying. In one meal, she ate even more than the giant tree she had eaten before, which took more than two months. Now, Wen Jing ate the entire fluorescent forest in just over ten hours.
Therefore, the body she created after her previous Clone died, which split again from the Time Amber, only had a quarter of the attributes of that body.
After a big meal, her top three attributes are now almost Clone to those of a living clone of the deceased.
As for the exceptionally low mental state, it is because the split has caused the most damage, making it difficult to replenish through food. It is necessary to start practicing the Star Core Meditation Method again and condense the Star Core in the sea of consciousness once more.
However, the reason why Wen Jing a deep-seated hatred and became stronger through corruption.
Rather, her current situation is like a bug in the system.
Essentially, Wen Jing's two Clone both have characteristics based on the panel, and the panel has an extremely high level of hierarchy, allowing her Clone to share and synchronize their characteristics and abilities.
The Clone sealed in the Spacetime Amber did not appear because it was in a 'paused' state.
Therefore, when her active Clone dies and then splits off into another Clone through Consciousness Diversion, time resumes its flow, and the characteristics gained by the previous active Clone are inherited by the new Clone.
At the same time, the depth of the world to which one 'falls' during the Ancient Wilderness Traversal is determined by the strength of the Wilderness Body.
The newly split 'quarter of the Wen Jing ' is matched with a world that is naturally less deep than the previous active Clone.
However, the various powerful features it once possessed can be synchronized.
This creates the effect of having a 'small account, but with maxed-out skills'.
When the most threatening Light-Winged Wyvern in the fluorescent forest appeared, Wen Jing had already absorbed a considerable amount of matter. Even though her ' Gluttony ' state made her defenseless, her absorption limit exceeded the damage the dragon could inflict.
Of course, the dangers of the Ancient Wilderness at night are much greater than during the day, so it is very Luck to be able to travel to this world at the most vulnerable time.
Luck...
Thinking of this, Wen Jing a bitter taste in her mouth, and couldn't help but wonder, had the teacher given her Luck?
After a pause, she immediately contacted the Secret Treasure Gate again.
Inside, the stars twinkled like a galaxy.
However, these points of light representing the Wilderness Weapon can only be sensed; they cannot be retrieved at present.
When she first obtained the Tactical Glasses, Dean Bai told her that the Secret Treasure Gate had usage restrictions, and even she could only open it once every few years.
It has been less than a year since it was last opened, so naturally it is impossible to retrieve the Wilderness Weapon from it.
Wen Jing naturally understood that the reason her teacher transferred the Secret Treasure Gate to her before his death was because, under that terrifying [ Supernatural Disintegration ], only this rule, which belonged to the S-rank, could take effect.
If it were her, she would have done the same in that situation.
Looking back now, she couldn't help but wonder: was that woman in black who seemed to be Dean Bai's mother really her mother?
It wasn't just that the opponent showed no mercy; Wen Jing, who only had a head left at the time, could only see a crimson Wen Jing through his Tactical Glasses, and the only word above the opponent's head was "[???]", nothing more.
