Chapter 2758 Uninvited Guest
Qu Jianlei could think of what others could think of, and he could foresee what kind of evaluation his treatment might receive.
The examples are right there, blatantly obvious. How many people were shocked when he successfully left his body in another world?
After his breakthrough, what others might focus on more is how many resources he accumulated to take this crucial step.
Of course, his teammates would also think about how much risk he faced when he made that choice.
But what about the others?
Throughout the process, how many people could imagine the increasing pressure he endured?
There was a time when I was so delirious that I could barely control myself and was on the verge of collapse. Who could understand that?
His thoughts, six senses, body, and so on, have been operating frantically and continuously from the very beginning.
This intense overclocking work continued throughout, while maintaining mental clarity to capture inspiration and insights...
He shouldn't take the initiative to talk about the torment he's going through—because it was his own choice!
Therefore, Qu Jianlei felt it was best to figure things out on his own first.
However, at the same time, he also contacted Big Head Butterfly to let it communicate with the outside world and find out if anything unusual had happened.
Logically, with this arrangement, there shouldn't be any problems; all aspects have been considered.
Of course, when Xiaohu contacted the Spider King, the results were anything but random.
Not only do you have to test things out from multiple angles, but you also have to expend a lot of energy. Luck alone isn't enough; the probability is so low it makes you want to cry.
Qu Jianlei didn't even notice that the shape of the big-headed butterfly was somewhat blurred.
His focus was not on this at all—the small lake was preserved in his sea of consciousness, its fate intertwined with his own.
What problems could arise?
The big-headed butterfly didn't tell its leader that it was well aware that the higher-dimensional elements had also harmed it.
It's not a major injury, and it's easy to repair; it's just not in good condition right now.
As long as the eldest brother's consciousness exists, its foundation is there, so it's not worth mentioning.
The boss is in a very serious state right now. It understands very well that it is really running out of fuel, but it is still working desperately.
It would be incredibly inconsiderate of the child to let something so trivial distract them at this time.
After an unknown amount of time, Big-Headed Butterfly slowly turned half a circle. "Boss, outside... a conflict is about to break out!"
"Huh?" Qu Jianlei was taken aback upon hearing this. "Who's with whom?"
"A stick and a spider are struggling with a white bun."
"Wait a minute," Qu Jianlei said, his mind already reeling from the constant tension.
"I have a bit of a headache. The steamed bun you mentioned, is it the same kind of steamed bun I'm thinking of?"
“Yes, there are folds,” the big-headed butterfly continued to slowly turn, “and it seems to have a slight opening.”
The next moment, a phantom image of a steamed bun was projected into my consciousness. "Look, this is it."
The projection only showed steamed buns, without any scenes of confrontation or entanglement.
Under these conditions, it's good enough if you can get any information occasionally, so why bother watching live streams?
"He's just a high-ranking official," Qu Jianlei concluded. "What about the young lady and the spring?"
"It should... not have moved," Xiaohu wasn't sure either. "The weak time gap caused by the spatial misalignment is very short."
"Forget it, I can't control it anyway," Qu Jianlei said, too lazy to think about it anymore. "At this time, we should trust our teammates completely."
"All I can do is stay alert in case of any accidents...wait, why is your image blurry?"
"Maybe it's the damage from dark energy," Xiaohu had analyzed, "but mainly the Dao Stele... I can't command the warship."
"Oh, you should have said so earlier," Qu Jianlei raised his hand and brought a division-class ship in the distance closer. "If it's not enough, remember to tell me again."
It's not that he's indifferent to Big Head Butterfly, he's just really that busy!
Moreover, he could tell at a glance that Xiaohu's condition wasn't a big problem.
He wasn't entirely sure about the underlying mechanisms of the damage, but as long as the energy and computing power were replenished, there would be no major problems.
Even if there is damage that cannot be repaired temporarily, we can find ways to remedy it later.
If there is anything that could truly harm Xiaohu, it would be that his sea of consciousness is no longer safe.
"Alright, boss," Big Head Butterfly spun around twice, and the division-class ship not far away started up.
The suppression from the Dao Stele was too overwhelming; it couldn't even mobilize the energy stored on other warships.
Immediately afterwards, the shape of the big-headed butterfly gradually became clearer—the suppression was still present, and it could only slowly turn red again.
"If one warship survives, the others will survive too... Boss, do you still want me to keep an eye on the outside?"
"As long as it's roughly the same, that's fine," Qu Jianlei didn't care about that. The problem was, it wouldn't make a difference even if he paid attention, would it?
At the same time, the enormous staff outside the space was trembling slightly. "Taotie, leave now, and this matter can be dropped."
After guarding it for nearly thirty years, an unexpected incident finally occurred: the Taotie Lord entered the space!
The Taotie clan... actually, they are not a clan. They are born from the dragon and the sheep, and they do not have the ability to reproduce. Their limit is to leave the body.
In the past, there was a Taotie, who became the True Lord at Yuxiu, and that is how the Great Lord Taotie came to be.
Like Crystal Ancestor, it broke through its original limits. Although unconventional, it is still quite famous.
Later, this guy ate too much and was expelled from the Jade Beauty Realm, after which he wandered the void and other great worlds.
This person quietly arrived in the Asura World at some unknown time, and Crystal Ancestor did not notice.
As for its appearance in the Girls' Starfield—it must have been when Song Yue'er went to the World Crossroads that it noticed her.
How exactly it came to be remains a mystery, but it doesn't really matter.
The key point is that not long ago, Taiyuan Hai quietly alerted the others that a Great Lord was lurking.
She has a strong sense of perception, especially when it comes to spatial awareness.
She had made some kind of preparations in the surrounding area beforehand, and yet she was able to be the first to notice the anomaly while compressing the space.
That's really quite accurate.
The young lady and her powerful spiritual sense were originally invisible, so most people couldn't detect them. Therefore, she became even more discreet in her subsequent actions.
Upon receiving the warning, Jingzu also heightened his senses and soon detected a faint fluctuation.
As a protector, the staff proactively sent out its divine sense to warn the other party to behave themselves and leave quickly. However, the person actually showed up.
The Taotie ignored the stick, the spider, and the twelve True Venerables, staring intently at the large mass of energy.
The energy cluster has been compressed to a certain extent, but its volume is still enormous.
However, because it was compressed, the violent energy inside appeared even more concentrated and "abundant".
Seeing that the newcomer was hostile, the spider also stepped forward—this wasn't a human, so it could attack.
The opponent is a true king, and it probably can't beat him, but... doesn't it still have helpers by its side?
Just like last time when it faced a sixth-tier spiritual vein, didn't it snatch a large chunk of it?
The young woman and the spring remained silent, continuing to compress, unsure if the other would notice.
Space is being compressed by an invisible force; it's impossible for it not to be detected? Not necessarily!
The Nine True Venerables' battle formation may be a little weak, but it can still disrupt some perception.
Moreover, the cultivation world is full of mysterious methods—powerful compression can even be used to control magical artifacts.
Jingzu only issued a warning, not because he was afraid of the other party, but because as a Great Lord, once he made a move, it would be earth-shattering!
Its responsibility is to protect the law and ensure the smooth progress of related matters; if it can avoid fighting, that would be best.
However, Taotie ignored its warning and continued to stare at the chaotic compressed energy cluster.
Although Baozi doesn't have eyes in its current form, you can still feel its intense craving just from its expression.
After a long pause, it finally replied, "I'm reasonable...we'll split it in half when we meet!"
Compared to the famous Pixiu, which is not picky about food, Taotie has a somewhat higher standard, but the latter will be even more greedy when it encounters good things!
The massive energy cluster contains abundant resources; it can represent "reasoning," which is truly a form of restraint.
"Get out of here!" Crystal Ancestor was unwilling; the Crystal Clan had never been a well-tempered group.
"I'm trying to be nice and discuss this with you, and you're giving me too much credit?"
"Get out, get out!" The spider's phantom swayed its forelimbs, giving off a somewhat arrogant and domineering vibe.
Of the three True Venerables responsible for protecting the Dharma, only the true forms of two True Venerables were present; True Venerable Yueran had gone out, leaving only an avatar behind.
The next moment, a single eye appeared on the steamed bun, its gaze cold and sharp. "Don't force me to ruin your plans!"
This is not just a verbal threat. When a glutton encounters delicious food, it's not surprising that it might do something crazy!
A True Venerable Guardian from Lianxing also spoke up in time, "Please reconsider, Your Majesty, there is cause and effect at play here!"
Needless to say, he himself possessed the aura of the Heavenly Influence, which he was deliberately releasing at this moment.
"Shut up, you brat!" Taotie roared. "If I hadn't been harmed by Tianqing's aura, would I have been able to show myself?"
"Since we've already been tainted by the karma of the Heavenly Collapse, a little more won't make a difference. This delicious treat... can even resist a tiny bit of the karma of the Heavenly Collapse."
There's a reason why human gourmets are called gluttons.
Taotie can intuitively perceive the effects of food, which is its innate ability that others cannot learn.
Previously, it did indeed discover Song Yue'er at the crossroads of the world.
Originally, the Taotie was lured by human cultivators. Hearing that some worlds were merging, it secretly followed, wondering if it could find something to eat.
The merging of the two worlds involves extremely terrifying energy changes; even picking up a few leftovers nearby would be a considerable treat.
However, when it arrived, it discovered that the fusion was basically complete—that's it?
Devouring and merging the vast world? Sorry, it really doesn't have that kind of power.
Moreover, the law of cause and effect has a great influence on Taotie—if such a being could devour anything without consequences, the laws of Heaven would not tolerate it!
The key point is that the Asura world and the Tree Clan world have been almost fully developed, so there's nothing left for it to prey on.
Just as it hesitated, Song Yue'er arrived with eleven True Venerable clones. The True Venerables present all promised to abide by the rules.
