Chapter 515: When the Spirit Tribulation Became the Main Character
Chapter 515: When the Spirit Tribulation Became the Main Character
"Water release completed, checking for any omissions."
"Firewall measures dismantled, further inspection underway."
A large number of reports continuously flowed into the Magic Network. Qin Mu Ye simply glanced over them before focusing his attention on what was in front of him.
"Main character plus world-ending tribulation, this combination is truly bizarre."
"But I have to admit, the fit is quite high. I just have a small question: how can you still be human after stuffing such a huge thing inside you?"
Qin Mu Ye was genuinely curious. Despite his current human-like appearance, he was actually just using Xuan Jun's body, while his true form was indescribable.
The main character, however, was different. He had genuinely managed to stuff the entire spirit tribulation into his body through the main character's aura.
He was still human, but he had become mentally fractured. Numerous heroic spirits were constantly converging and reorganizing within him, and black sludge kept seeping through his skin.
"Truly worthy of being the main character, even in this state, you still maintain your grace. I really can't compare," Qin Mu Ye couldn't help but sigh.
"You are the world-ending tribulation." A layered and multi-toned voice came from the main character's mouth.
"Can you please stop talking nonsense? Why do you think I'm the world-ending tribulation? Words need to be backed by evidence!" Qin Mu Ye glared, puzzled about how he had become the world-ending tribulation.
"Clearly, you are the world-ending tribulation. I am just a weak scholar, don't slander good people."
A tribulation actually daring to slander him, Qin Mu Ye couldn't tolerate this. Although he was here to destroy the world, this was a matter of actions, not intentions. He hadn't even made a move, so how could he be called the world-ending tribulation?
"I can sense it; you have already destroyed the limiter and even mastered the auxiliary device. I know what you want to do. You want to release me, but unfortunately, you have chosen the wrong target." The main character was no longer the main character but a cluster consciousness of the spirit tribulation.
He could unify the various thoughts of the heroic spirits, forming a new and independent consciousness.
Moreover, this thing was likely man-made. The ability to create a human-like cluster consciousness in this way was a brilliant idea.
Since it was constructed entirely from human heroic spirits, it was naturally a protector of humanity.
It's no wonder the actions were so bizarre—using heroic spirits to release the flood and creating a main character to deal with the spirit tribulation.
The main character was indeed part of the spirit tribulation camp, but the spirit tribulation, being a cluster consciousness formed from the many human spirits after death, was on the human side. This back-and-forth essentially meant the main character was on the human side.
After all the twists and turns, it came back to the starting point.
This could be considered a roundabout way to save the country. Although it was impossible to prevent the spirit tribulation from descending, it could be leveraged to form a beneficial force, a remarkable strategy.
However, there were limits to this. The limiter mentioned by the other party was the firewall, and the auxiliary device was the Tongtian Pavilion. Even without Qin Mu Ye's intervention, they could not withstand many more spirit tribulations.
No civilization could reach this level anymore, so not only could no one create similar methods, but even repairs were impossible.
Throughout these many spirit tribulations, no one had ever reached the land of the heroic spirits, so they had no idea about these matters.
"Ah, have you considered this: I never intended to release you. I just wanted to clear you out because I have my eye on your place," Qin Mu Ye kindly reminded him.
The reason for so much talk was simple: the other party had already been caught by Qin Mu Ye and was just waiting to be thrown into prison.
There was no response, but the black sludge was overflowing more and more, making him look like a mud man.
With a casual gesture, Qin Mu Ye scooped him up.
This thing was indeed Rank 8, but its strength was average, roughly equivalent to someone who had just entered Rank 8.
However, Qin Mu Ye saw something else: this thing was not simple, possessing an extremely powerful regenerative ability.
It was truly undying, as it was not a life form but more like a conglomeration of rules.
Like the heroic spirits, the difficulty for Qin Mu Ye to completely destroy a heroic spirit was actually quite high. Here, destruction did not mean killing the heroic spirit or the spirit summoner, but rather ensuring its complete annihilation.
The heroic spirits were part of the spirit tribulation, serving both as nourishment for its growth and as a flood release outlet.
To kill a Yingling, one needs to locate its position within the Lingjie region.
This creates two scenarios: being able to fight and being able to kill. It's even more difficult when dealing with a Lingjie protagonist formed by a cluster of Yinglings.
The Lingjie protagonist can be casually molded and manipulated by Qin Mu Ye, but to kill the opponent, one must overcome the mental dimensions of greed, hatred, and delusion.
An entity at the 8th Rank is basically the hardest to kill. The easiest to kill would be the brain worm in the insect race, which is purely a target of a group attack, or perhaps it lacks any distinctive features.
"You have more imagination than I do." The Lingjie protagonist seemed completely indifferent to its own predicament.
Qin Mu Ye scanned with his senses and couldn’t help but laugh lightly: "Interesting, it seems I indeed underestimated you."
Everyone in the world displayed a confused appearance, their minds completely drained, a result of the Lingjie's actions.
"I will return to the Origin Land, you continue to rule your world. As long as you exist, you can suppress the Lingjie." The other party seemed indifferent to these words.
The Lingjie is the Lingjie, and the cluster consciousness is a cluster consciousness. Although they are one, they differ in thought.
It's like the brain and the body not being of one mind.
The other party, as a Lingjie, plus the cluster consciousness constructed from Yinglings, can easily control the heart and mind of everyone in the world.
Seeing this situation, it's not as if they were threatening Qin Mu Ye.
"Hey, I don’t believe it. If you dare to move, I dare to kill you, thinking you can threaten me." Qin Mu Ye said this with righteous indignation, but he was inwardly amused, ready to act, and he arranged for the monsters to enter and exert their strength.
In the next moment, hundreds of thousands of people suddenly collapsed, then lost their breath.
"This is just a warning, next time it won't be just this many people." As long as it doesn’t have a significant impact on the overall civilization, the Lingjie protagonist is not stingy about killing as a warning.
"You still dare to move, you are too dangerous, and I absolutely cannot let you go." Qin Mu Ye said this in a deep voice.
This made the Lingjie protagonist hesitate, sensing something was off.
From the strategy of the Protection Umbrella Corporation, the other party is undoubtedly a wolfish existence, ruling the world might be just one of their goals, but it must be said that under the Protection Umbrella Corporation, the overall development is very rapid.
Therefore, based on this situation, the Lingjie protagonist believes Qin Mu Ye is a world-ending tribulation, so as long as a way is found to restrict the other party, it can make the other side flourish and thrive.
So the idea is simple, acting as a restriction, after all, both sides have the same strength.
The plan is to deceive Qin Mu Ye into the Origin Land, which is inside the Yingling Land, and then bind everyone together.
This way, the Protection Umbrella Corporation becomes a true umbrella.
But now, Qin Mu Ye seems to have ulterior motives, speaking with high-sounding righteousness, but in reality, it's more like a grand facade.
If the other party really thinks this way, they should have taken action by now, not just talk.
"You are deceiving me!" Realizing this, the Lingjie protagonist suddenly spoke.
Qin Mu Ye nodded: "Yes, I am deceiving you."
Saying this, he prepared to return to the bottomless abyss.
But in the next moment, the entire world seemed to present a sluggish state, as if Qin Mu Ye was trapped in an indescribable quagmire.
Lowering his head for a glance, he saw numerous Yinglings pulling at his body, tearing it apart.
It seemed they wanted Qin Mu Ye to join them.
"Words are cheap, but failing to act is not so good." Qin Mu Ye stepped down, and countless Yinglings shattered.
The sluggish space shattered instantly, and this terrifying force surged through the source, directly shattering the Lingjie protagonist's body.
"If you were a bit stronger, maybe I would have taken a proper look, but unfortunately, it’s just that way."
"Difficult to kill is not impossible to kill."
It’s not that Qin Mu Ye fears killing this thing would cause the main quest to complete. Qin Mu Ye had already taken action long ago, no need to think about locking it in a prison.
But now it seems, a prison can’t hold it, it’s better to just leave it as a vegetative state.
With a flick of his hand, a thread of abyss power transformed into a demonic surge, surging into the Lingjie protagonist's body, then instantly bursting forth, causing a large number of Yinglings inside to emit mournful cries.
