Chapter 355: The Arrival of the Hive Planet

"Already?" Qin Mu Ye's eyes narrowed. He could feel a terrifying sense of foreboding, the most intense surge of his Heart Blood Surge talent yet.

His gaze swept over the Endless Abyss and landed on the horizon, where a massive shadow was approaching the Warlock Dynasty server.

"It's hard to see, like it's being blocked by something." Qin Mu Ye was speechless; he hadn't expected this to happen.

This was likely some form of external protection for the world. The Hive Planet would have to break through this layer of defense to invade, and of course, Qin Mu Ye couldn't leave either.

So, the view was quite limited.

However, one thing was certain: this world's defense couldn't stop the Hive Planet.

The crisis was called a "bug invasion," which meant the bugs would definitely be able to invade, and then Qin Mu Ye could rise up to fight back.

"It seems like I can't win. Although it doesn't have the Sky Net's bizarre timeline convergence ability, its overall strength is significantly higher than the Sky Net."

Qin Mu Ye believed that he would most likely be on par with the Hive Planet, at best. According to the classification in The Age of Lords, the overall strength of the opposing territory was probably at the 7th Rank, not just individually, but as a whole.

There were definitely 8th Rank beings inside, but Qin Mu Ye didn't know how many.

However, 8th Rank beings weren't as common as cabbages. While they were plentiful in fairy tales due to the vast land and the fact that they were the direct descendants of the Creator God, that wasn't the case elsewhere.

The same applied to the Horror Universe. Those Hell Lords seemed powerful, but they were ultimately just creations of God.

These unscientific worlds were extremely terrifying.

While the Sky Net's 8th Rank Terminators could be mass-produced, they had significant flaws. Even a 5th Rank like Qin Mu Ye could bypass them, let alone higher-ranking experts. They might be good at bullying the weak, but they would likely be killed when facing a large force like the bugs.

If not for the Sky Net's timeline convergence assistance, how could it be a match for Qin Mu Ye?

This Hive Planet was different from the Sky Net, which had backing. The Hive Planet relied on sheer strength.

"Is it making a move?"

Suddenly, the entire world seemed to tremble slightly, but few people noticed it. Besides Qin Mu Ye, only the four 7th Rank beings—Emperor Shen You, and the three demons of the Spirit Realm—were aware of it.

They, of course, had also noticed. Thankfully, Qin Mu Ye had warned them beforehand, and Emperor Shen You had already made arrangements, though the efficiency was lacking.

After all, the Great Yin Dynasty was a mess, with various factions entangled and harboring their own ulterior motives. Even though Emperor Shen You had issued orders, the noble families, sects, and ministers paid little attention, instead thinking about how to benefit from the situation. After all, how did the deaths of countless people concern them? Profit was the real concern.

As for the so-called extraterrestrial bugs? They didn't take them seriously. Even the insect dominator was dead, so how could these barbarians from the heavens be a threat?

They even felt smug, thinking that Emperor Shen You had masterfully manipulated the conflicts between the Lord of the Magic Land, the Emperor of the Mechanized Devils, and the insect dominator, eliminating two external threats.

Some people, however, realized that things were not looking good and needed to prepare quickly.

Of course, there were those who pretended to be oblivious, thinking that if the sky fell, someone taller would catch it. As long as Emperor Shen You was safe, there wouldn't be too many problems.

"It seems it will take at least two days to open a gap," Qin Mu Ye estimated. Now, he had two paths before him.

The first was to prepare for two days and then face the bugs head-on, to see who was the stronger existence.

They were evenly matched. His Endless Abyss was smaller in volume, but not necessarily weaker in combat power.

The number of spirits was probably less than the bugs, but his subordinates each had a mech, guaranteeing at least 7th Rank combat power. If he invited a few 8th Rank Titan gods to protect him, it would be like cutting through enemies effortlessly.

However, Qin Mu Ye feared being worn down by the bugs. Their numbers were a significant racial advantage. Even if he threw all his spirits into the fray, it would be like a mantis trying to stop a chariot.

Cutting through enemies effortlessly was one thing, but even the most brutal killing would tire him out, and he might not be able to hold them off.

The other option was to go into a dungeon, develop for a couple of decades, and then return. At that point, while he might not completely overwhelm them, annihilating the Hive Planet wouldn't be a big problem.

On the other hand, this also came with risks. If he were to obtain a temporary skill like the "Mass Annihilation Engine," it would be a direct disaster. Skills of the cause-and-effect level, if chosen, could truly wipe out the entire territory, not a joke.

Moreover, he not only needed to obtain an SSS rating but also destroy the dungeon world, which was quite a headache. He estimated that both tasks needed to be done simultaneously; otherwise, he would have to find another random dungeon scroll if one task was missing.

Thus, entering a dungeon for development was also a troublesome matter.

"Father, something’s happened. There’s something in the sky. Your expression seems to suggest you already know?" Ji Shan hurried over, his face showing urgency, but then he noticed Qin Mu Ye's calm expression and understood.

Qin Mu Ye looked at Ji Shan's luxurious character panel and felt envious. After spending so much time in the territory, Ji Shan had already reached level 60, gained numerous talents, and undergone several ascensions. If not for still being in the process of comprehending the laws, his combat power would be formidable.

He had also realized that Ji Shan's talents were all focused on cultivation, which involved various insights and understanding of the Dao, the complete opposite of Qin Mu Ye. Qin Mu Ye's understanding of the mystical and metaphysical aspects was too low; he couldn't grasp concepts like "intention" or "aura," while Ji Shan was quite adept at it.

For example, in martial arts, Ji Shan could actually cultivate things like "fist intent" or "sword intent." Qin Mu Ye had reviewed these many times, but with his learning ability, he couldn't understand how such metaphysical concepts could be comprehended rather than simulated through mental power.

"I know. What progress have you made recently?" Qin Mu Ye asked, not intending to send Ji Shan out to fight. Ji Shan's main task was cultivation, and he needed to reach sufficient strength first.

He always felt that Ji Shan was preparing a big move, which was why he hadn't requested to join the battle. Otherwise, Qin Mu Ye knew that Ji Shan wasn't the type to stay idle.

"A bit, but I need a little support," Ji Shan said reluctantly.

"Support? What kind of support?" Qin Mu Ye was curious; he hadn't expected Ji Shan to need anything.

"I want a Spirit Realm."

"Me too," Qin Mu Ye said, somewhat speechless.

"I'm serious. If this succeeds, it might help you resolve the crisis of the high-dimensional demons," Ji Shan immediately added.

Hearing this, Qin Mu Ye knew Ji Shan wasn't joking around.

However, Qin Mu Ye didn't respond immediately. The issue wasn't giving Ji Shan the Spirit Realm; the real problem was the three demons of the Spirit Realm. Ji Shan's small frame couldn't possibly stand up to those three powerful demons.

"What do you plan to do?" Qin Mu Ye asked after a long silence, not interfering much with Ji Shan's cultivation insights.

"I want to merge with the Dao!" Ji Shan said firmly.

"???" Qin Mu Ye was taken aback by Ji Shan's ambition. Was he being so audacious?

Qin Mu Ye just wanted to obtain the Creator God's bloodline, but Ji Shan was aiming to master the entire world.

"How confident are you?" Qin Mu Ye didn't ask why but whether it was achievable.

"Nine out of ten. But before that, Father, you need to deal with the thing in the sky. If I can merge with the Dao, I can handle both the high-dimensional demons and the Endless Cycle," Ji Shan said.

"Alright." Qin Mu Ye didn't refuse.

While he very much wanted the Spirit Realm, it was just an added bonus for him. If Ji Shan got it, he might soar to new heights.

Qin Mu Ye had never underestimated Ji Shan's abilities. The child had been smart from a young age.

A natural genius, with a mythic-class profession and his education, as long as he didn't die young, he would definitely become a great figure in the future.

He could even protect the territory, so Qin Mu Ye wasn't too stingy.

However, there were risks. Merging with the Dao might bind him to this Warlock Dynasty server for life. Qin Mu Ye wasn't likely to stay in this server forever. If he left, what would happen afterward?

It wasn't about losing out, but about worrying that without his care, something might happen to Ji Shan. After all, he had raised him for eighteen years, treating him like his own son, and he had to consider his future.

But since Ji Shan had already said it, Qin Mu Ye couldn't stop him. He believed in Ji Shan's abilities and talent.
