A Subtle Connection

Xu Lu's decision to switch allegiances was not to curry favor with Zhang Xuezhou and others, but rather out of necessity.

Unable to forcibly possess Zhang Xuezhou's body while fleeing, he ultimately chose to melt down a ferocious monkey-like beast to survive and escape.

This ferocious beast was clearly far inferior to Zhou Xin, and even more so to Zhang Xuezhou.

The only good thing is that the smelting in the virtual furnace was successful, and he finally has his own physical body. He is no longer a wandering and floating spiritual body. He even smelted his body into a frightening shape that resembles a combination of Zhou Xin's body and Zhang Xuezhou's head.

The downsides are also obvious: this kind of body is extremely resistant to the Void Furnace, and the Void Furnace is also difficult to easily change bodies, thus requiring constant adjustment between rejection and strong occupation.

He was initially extremely disappointed, believing he could only eke out a living, but after listening to Zhang Xuezhou and Ren Yisheng more, Xu Lu couldn't help but have some new ideas.

For Xu Lu, both Zhou Xin and Zhang Xuezhou, whom he had met, were extremely strong.

Even Zhang Xuezhou's accomplice (Ren Yisheng), after being examined, felt that the other party possessed extremely powerful strength.

The current state of the Void Furnace is extremely similar to the power of grafting Gene Sequence onto alien beasts and ferocious beasts. He felt that he could try Gene Sequence. Even if he didn't achieve great power, it could at least harmonize the rejection in his body.

"A hairless monkey beast?"

The Scarlet Alliance State doesn't have any particularly strong monkey genes.

The reason for this is nothing special. Even if there is similarity in genes, Sequence Holder will choose to develop from similar giant apes. After all, giant apes have all the abilities that monkeys have, but monkeys may not have the abilities that giant apes have.

Xu Lu's narration reminded Zhang Xuezhou of the hairless tiger who had not cooperated with Hu Hao.

In this sense, the Void Furnace played a crucial role, which enabled Zhang Xuezhou to later transfer to the top spot.

"Welcome!"

Zhang Xuezhou confidently guaranteed that the Virtual Furnace could advance Gene Sequence cultivation and could even be custom-designed with the help of the research institutes of the Alliance States.

He's not afraid of the virtual furnace having requirements; he's afraid of the virtual furnace not having requirements, which could lead to the other party losing control in the Scarlet Alliance State in the future.

Despite the Void Furnace's current docile demeanor, given its ability to instantly kill the Hairless Tiger through smelting, the Scarlet Alliance State will have very limited numbers of people capable of withstanding its attacks.

Having encountered Zhou Xin, Zhang Xuezhou, Ren Yisheng, and others in succession, Zhang Xuezhou could only say that Xu Lu was very unlucky.

If the Void Fusion were to encounter someone of slightly weaker strength, the opponent would realize that the Gene Sequence was far less powerful than imagined.

"It looks so much like it!"

Zhang Xuezhou and Xu Lu chatted and laughed, while Ren Yisheng's mind was in turmoil.

Looking at the two figures, he felt that Zhang Xuezhou and Xu Lu were too similar.

Both of them brought different benefits to their spiritual practice, each had their own trump cards, and were able to adapt to the external environment by readily accepting good advice.

If no one knew their background, no one would mistake Zhang Xuezhou and Xu Lu for fire meteor creatures.

Where did Qin Meng's humans go?

While waiting for Hu Yu to fall asleep, Zhang Xuezhou casually inquired about some things related to the Void Furnace.

"Perhaps even within the Tiger Soul Hall, I'm not entirely certain about this matter; perhaps only Tiger Child truly knows the truth!"

What is the Tiger Soul Hall?

"That's a sacred object of the White-browed Clan, adept at absorbing the essence of battle, which can be transformed into sharp weapons like swords or condensed spiritual essence for future generations to consume!"

"Are you saying the Tiger Soul Hall eats people?"

"Huh? You guys... aren't we the same?"

The ferocious beasts such as Hu Yu have a very high degree of connection with the humans who perished in Qin Meng's time. Xu Lu also mentioned another treasure of the Bai Biao clan.

Compared to Ding Kui's ruthlessness, Tiger Soul Hall possesses logistical capabilities.

However, the Tiger Soul Hall's logistical capabilities require the slaughter of living beings to replenish them.

Just as Zhang Xuezhou thought that the Tiger Soul Hall was too evil, Xu Lu couldn't help but be surprised and mentioned that using the Gene Sequence of strange beasts and ferocious beasts to drive it was no different.

In higher-dimensional worlds, this situation is also quite normal; it's simply a matter of you eating me and me eating you, which also falls under the dark Principle strength and weakness.

Xu Lu countered with a question, leaving Zhang Xuezhou momentarily speechless.

Whether it's eating humans, demons, strange beasts, or ferocious beasts, the nature of it is the same; it's just that humans target non-intelligent beings and haven't risen to the level of intelligent species.

This is closely related to the fact that the world is occupied by humans, and this world does not have multiple intelligent races coexisting at the same time.

In another world, the demon cores needed for the Creation Pill inevitably involve killing. Even if Zhang Xuezhou didn't kill directly, he could still indirectly obtain the demon cores.

We are different!

Zhang Xuezhou was speechless for a moment, while Ren Yisheng did not agree.

"Our Gene Sequence generates a need to hunt, but we don't kill indiscriminately. This is a kind of competition and development in the evolution of the human sequence," Ren Yisheng emphasized. "Extinction-style killing, however, is always against human nature!"

"Your argument is the same as some powerful beings," said the Void Furnace. "They keep countless races, including humans, and only use some when they need them!"

"Oh!"

After Zhang Xuezhou ran out of words, Ren Yisheng also ran out of words to refute him.

Although he didn't know if it was true or false, and couldn't verify it at the moment, Ren Yisheng listened to Xu Lu's introduction of things about higher-dimensional worlds, constantly improving his understanding.

This high-dimensional world, teeming with hundreds of races, left Ren Yisheng in awe.

One moment he felt like a frog in a well, the next he felt the world outside wasn't as good as he'd imagined, and that living with dignity was a luxury.

Are there no human powers standing alone in higher-dimensional worlds?

"No!"

Is there any powerful being among them?

"There seems to be a person called 'The Way of the Sage,' but no one has ever seen him!"

As Xu Lu whispered his narration, Ren Yisheng listened intently, while Zhang Xuezhou's eyes suddenly widened.

Zhang Xuezhou had experienced two worlds, and he had never felt so close to these two vastly different worlds before.

This is a world of unknown distance, yet connected by higher-dimensional worlds.

When Xu Lu mentioned that the reputation of the Sage's Path was not good, the younger generation, who were slightly weaker, became somewhat worried upon hearing the name. Zhang Xuezhou was almost certain that the Sage's Path Xu Lu was referring to was the Daoist Hongjun of Zixiao Palace.

This gave him a very subtle feeling.

Zhang Xuezhou has been resisting the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon, but his ability to travel Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon worlds using them is also genuine.

He feared that the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon would one day erode his sanity, but Zhang Xuezhou also worried whether he could inherit everything from the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon if he truly had the ability to expel them. If not, what would become of him, and would his three souls and seven spirits remain in the real world or go to another world?

Many results have never been definitively confirmed.

Xu Lu's words gave Zhang Xuezhou a glimmer of hope.

If he could one day establish a connection with Daoist Hongjun, that might be a way out for him.

This is not just empty talk; if he can gain access to the Purple Cloud Palace, he might be able to achieve communication.

The only requirement is that Zhang Xuezhou must remember this matter, lest he forget Daoist Hongjun when he travels to another world, or that he needs someone to mention it so that he can remember all the connections.
