Chapter 576: Stitching, the Dead World Comes Back to Life
Chapter 576: Stitching, the Dead World Comes Back to Life
"Something is being stimulated." Qin Muye, piloting the Civilization's Son, stood at the intersection of the unknown star region and the known star region, watching the originally thick and calm darkness begin to churn like a blob of slime.
"It's not much of a threat to me. It's just that its ability to be subconsciously overlooked is very powerful, even fooling me."
Qin Muye was a bit puzzled and couldn't figure out what this thing was right away.
If he really wanted to know, he would have to go in, but no way, he wasn't going to take that risk. If there was a problem, it would blow up immediately.
This thing, which looked like a disaster, was not something he would personally risk.
After all, a mountain cannot have two tigers, and a server can only have one major disaster. So, he had no intention of adhering to martial ethics with this obviously problematic thing.
"Moreover, this unknown star region isn't even counted within the server, which is absurd. Is it because it's a stitched world?"
Qin Muye was certain that the unknown star region was a world that had possibly died long ago and was forcibly stitched onto the Shining Universe server.
It looked like the Shining Universe server had won, but in reality, it had lost the most.
This thing was like stitching a dead person onto a living one. The dead person wouldn't have any issues, just decomposing normally, but the living person would suffer.
Worse still, this thing, which seemed to be thoroughly dead, was not content and was preparing to drag the entire Shining Universe server down with it.
"Do you call this a cosmic pioneer? Shouldn't it be a death cleaner?" Qin Muye felt a bit helpless.
This thing didn't have much of an impact on Qin Muye. The dead world forming the unknown star region could be absorbed, though it might not taste good.
It was like a buy-one-get-one-free deal.
Of course, if he didn't absorb it, he could easily cut the two worlds apart with his skills.
But now that it was activated, its value had increased significantly.
This indicated that it might be coming back to life.
An ordinary corpse and a zombie are two different things in terms of value.
An ordinary corpse could at most be used to raise a skeleton soldier and serve as fertilizer, while a zombie could do more than a skeleton soldier, had higher durability, and could still be used as fertilizer after death.
The dead world was now coming back to life, so its value had greatly increased.
Danger? Of course, there was danger. But Qin Muye, who dared to scheme against a 9th-stage, wouldn't be deterred by a dead world.
"Why did the cosmic will fail against a dead world? With such limited abilities, I couldn't even beat it. Oh, the cosmic will had already become a pile of mush at that time."
Qin Muye realized that the cosmic will, which had become a pile of 8th-stage star gods, was fine for dealing with the natives but was asking for trouble to fight against a world, even a dead one.
"Could it be that the cosmic will's leftover mush is what caused the world to come back to life? Otherwise, with such a small population, trying to stimulate a dead world would be quite pathetic."
Qin Muye thought about it and concluded that the cosmic will had failed to gain an advantage and ended up losing.
He didn't care how this world, now coming back to life, was originally stitched onto the Shining Universe server, but he was certain that it had been there all along while the cosmic will was imprisoned.
"This thing might have been stitched over after the cosmic will was imprisoned. Otherwise, with the cosmic will's abilities, even if it couldn't digest it, it would have been assimilated long ago."
"After all, there is a qualitative difference."
Stitching a dead person onto a living one, if the dead person doesn't react, does the living person have no reaction? The living person would definitely try to remove the dead person from its body.
Only something as peculiar as the cosmic will, which was first imprisoned and then cut into mush, would be unable to deal with it. Otherwise, it would have been handled long ago.
"Moreover, the Homeland seems to have been deliberately guided there, indicating that the world coming back to life is trying to restore life."
"Who knows what the consequences will be."
Qin Muye was also a bit troubled. Killing it would be difficult because the unknown star region was truly vast, encircling the entire known star region.
Watching it, it was clearly not content. Going in, he dared not.
For a moment, he felt a bit awkward. "Hmm~ The star gods are moving?" Qin Muye noticed that a large number of star gods seemed to be heading toward the unknown star region in various directions.
"It seems someone is testing it for me."
There was no doubt that the Cosmic Will had become restless; otherwise, there wouldn't have been such a significant disturbance.
"That means it shouldn't have been able to come back to life, but it was stimulated, causing it to revive. Previously, this dead world lacked the necessary conditions, and only the arrival of true life could have caused this situation?"
Revival seemed highly unlikely due to the lack of conditions, but a zombie-like revival was possible, and the two were of different levels of difficulty.
Based on the data, once the Homeland reaches a certain area of the unknown star region, a disaster capable of destroying the server would likely erupt.
The activities of the star gods within the stars' wills couldn't destroy the entire server; they just made it uninhabitable for the lords, similar to the Magic Continent.
However, the activities of this so-called cosmic pioneer were more like the Four Great Disasters of the past, capable of destroying the entire server.
But times have changed, and Qin Muye was no longer the same 8th-stage Qin Muye from the Sorcerer Dynasty. Despite still being 8th-stage, he could crush his former self from that time.
So much time had passed; he couldn't stay stagnant forever.
"I wonder how they will fight this battle?"
Qin Muye had investigated, and the death in the unknown star region was irreversible, meaning there was no one there.
The idea of a group of star gods attempting to kill a world corpse was absurd.
Unless the Cosmic Will could recover from its mushy state, but by the time it did, the unknown star region would likely have already invaded.
As for how the unknown star region would deal with the Shining Universe server, it was simple: sew the dead onto the living, introduce bacteria and infections, and if the living don't resist, they would become dead too.
Currently, the situation was like white blood cells—star gods—rushing to combat the invading virus.
This was the general situation, and Qin Muye was keen to observe how the battle would unfold.
"The situation for my avatar seems a bit dire. Is it about to die a violent death?" Qin Muye sent all his speculations about the unknown star region to his avatar, hoping it would survive longer to gather more intelligence.
"Even if it's not a real person, it should last a few more days than those aliens."
"Even if it can't match 8th-stage supernaturals, it should at least be the last to die among the 7th-stage, or it would be a waste of its human form."
Qin Muye definitely wouldn't provide remote support. He didn't want to interfere with the conflict between the two worlds; in fact, he found it quite amusing.
"Thinking about it, they are truly unlucky. To counter star gods, one must use magic to fight magic. If this had happened a few months earlier, the star gods might not have been involved at all."
Desperation would likely drive them to use the unknown star region to deal with the Cosmic Will.
After all, if both were going to die, the major powers wouldn't care.
"Unfortunately, the presence of the unknown star region has been deliberately reduced, probably because it's a dead world, making it easy to overlook."
After studying for a while, Qin Muye found the reason for his instinctive neglect of the unknown star region: it was dead, a corpse.
And when he later noticed it, it was because the corpse had come to life, making it very obvious.
So, from the beginning, it was a paradox: they ignored it when it wasn't a threat, and by the time it revived, it was too late.
The revival of the world was fueled by the Cosmic Will's mush, and during this revival period, it was already too late to do anything.
Qin Muye couldn't stop it, as his interests were entirely different from those of the natives and lords.
The darkness was churning, and various massive figures emerged, looking like dead things.
"Is this a mass summoning? Interesting, it's truly become a battle of white blood cells against the invading virus." Qin Muye retreated a hundred star regions to observe from a safe distance, avoiding any potential collateral damage.
These entities were quite powerful, capable of matching the star gods, and such a large-scale conflict made him worry that even a hundred star regions might not be enough. He considered retreating further to watch the show more safely.
