Chapter 342 Insane! Using the entire planet as food?
The far side of the moon, Tiangong base.
The piercing alarm did not travel through the air, but instead transformed into a high-frequency data stream that shrieked directly into the depths of Lu Sheng's soul.
Inside the central control room, the fifty-meter-diameter liquid metal sphere—the Battle Array Celestial Disc—had its solar system star map completely covered by a layer of blood-red data. All normal monitoring functions were paralyzed, leaving only a constantly flashing coordinate, like a red-hot steel needle, firmly nailed to the void outside the solar system.
That gaze, referred to as that of the "rancher," was not a sensory spying.
It is a higher-dimensional causal locking.
It's a logical declaration made by an entity at the top of the food chain when it selects the next dish on the menu.
On Lu Sheng's body, the Nebula Emperor Mark that had just devoured the old god was now uncontrollably burning hot, as if it wanted to burn through his flesh and become a coordinate beacon working from the inside out.
The hundreds of Immortal Qin soldiers behind him had their eyes flashing with intense blue electronic light, and their spiritual cores were in disarray, seemingly caught in a conflict of underlying logic under the command of a higher level.
Just as this suffocating pressure reached its peak.
Without warning, a phantom image materialized three meters in front of Lu Sheng.
It's still that same calico stray cat with its mottled markings.
Its form was even more ethereal than when it was at the Earth's core, as if a gentle breeze could disperse it. The golden specks that made up its body flickered uncertainly. The wound where the starry chains had pierced its core continued to silently dissipate its essence.
The cat's phantom raised its head, its pupils reflecting the star map calmly gazing at Lu-Sheng, and also at the burning imperial mark on his chest.
A grand resonance, imbued with the will of billions of living beings, resounded in the control room.
"The harvester is just an occasional pest that breeds in the pasture."
"And the 'rancher' you just provoked is the gardener who comes to clean the garden regularly."
The cat's phantom paused, its voice revealing a weariness and desolation that transcended eras.
"The only difference is that the gardener's way of dealing with pests is to burn the entire garden, along with all the flowers and plants, to the ground."
Lu Sheng remained silent, merely staring coldly at it. The burning sensation on the imperial mark on his chest subsided slightly under his willpower.
"I used the power of the abyss to pollute this planet, not to commit suicide, but to turn every plant in the garden into a deadly poison." The calico cat revealed the final mystery. "I want this 'meat' to be unpalatable and deadly enough so that when the gardener takes a bite, he can break a few of his teeth, or even... poison him to death."
"And you," its gaze fell on Lu Sheng, the look one would give a final weapon, "are an accident. A super virus with the most potent toxicity that I never anticipated."
It took two steps forward, its illusory body almost transparent under the red light of the alarm.
"Now, I need you, the most potent medicine, to face the approaching 'cleaners'—the ranchers' enforcers."
"I will grant you access to the deepest rules of this planet, allowing you to reach the threshold of the Spirit Emperor realm in the shortest possible time. In exchange, you will become my blade."
"This is a deal."
The calico cat's voice carried an undeniable resolve. This was the last and most valuable bargaining chip it, as Gaia's will, could offer.
Lu Sheng finally moved.
He slowly raised his right hand, and the silent Dragon Devouring Spear quietly appeared in his palm.
He didn't look at the cat, but instead looked down at his own double pupils, burning with deathly gray flames, reflected in the gun.
"trade?"
He chuckled softly, but the sound caused ripples to spread through the space around him, which had been frozen by the pressure of the higher dimension.
He suddenly looked up, the tip of his gun pointing diagonally at the phantom of the calico cat. That domineering will from the ancient times erupted, smashing the grand Gaia resonance into pieces.
"What right does a prisoner who can barely protect himself have to negotiate with me?"
For the first time, the calico cat's pupils, which reflected the star map, showed a violent fluctuation.
Lu Sheng took a step forward, and the dark gold casting plate beneath his feet cracked inch by inch.
Stop with your tragic sacrifice act. In my eyes, you're no different from any other "rancher" outside.
"They all want to use my body to achieve their own goals."
"The only difference is," Lu-Sheng's lips curled into a cruel smile, "that he's too far away, while you..."
"It's right in my bowl."
The tip of the Dragon Devouring Spear was already pressed against the brow of the illusory calico cat. The extremely refined Desolate Law caused its already illusory body to begin to dissipate at an accelerated rate.
"Give me control."
Lu Sheng's voice was as cold as ancient ice, leaving no room for negotiation whatsoever.
"I might consider letting your rotting planet stay on my menu... for a few more days."
Threat.
The naked, ultimate threat from the "virus" to the "mother body".
The calico cat fell silent.
Its eyes, which seemed to see through eternity, were fixed on Lu Sheng. It saw in the depths of those cross-shaped pupils a wavering, a lack of pity, and only a pure, predatory desire that viewed all things as food.
It lost.
Faced with absolute will and strength, any strategy or righteous cause appears pale and powerless.
Finally, the cat's phantom let out a barely audible sigh, its entire form transforming into countless golden specks of light that merged into the battle formation behind it.
next second.
The entire Heavenly Palace base shook violently!
The blood-red alarm interface of the Battle Array Compass vanished instantly, replaced by countless golden data streams representing hidden nodes on Earth, flowing in like rivers converging into the sea.
[Beep—Received transfer of supreme authority from Gaia's will.]
Control of all Xianqin ruins on Earth has been unlocked.
[The "Immortal Qin Military Canon" database has been updated... The underlying startup code for the "Anti-Star Annihilation Weapon" has been obtained.]
Lu Sheng's system panel was being refreshed at an unprecedented frequency.
Before he could even process this information...
A pure, golden primordial power, seemingly condensed from the life force of the entire planet over billions of years, emerged from the void, transforming into a pillar of light that forcefully poured into Lu Shengtian's crown chakra!
boom--!!!
At this moment, his consciousness overlapped with the pulse of the entire planet.
