Chapter 394: Chapter 308 Demon Promotion_2
His answer was particularly brief and vague, so Su Han and Bai Qilan fell into thought.
It seed that the Great Blood Sea was even more dangerous than the Spiritual Energy Blood Sea; rely entering it was considered a Demon Promotion. Otherwise, even with Fifth-Order strength, one would be targeted or, rather, extrely conspicuous.
“How much do you understand about the Great Blood Sea?”
“Endless energy, a space coexisting with many surviving races and Blood Sea Demons, beyond that, I do not know much.”
Su Han and Bai Qilan continuously guided and asked several questions, particularly about Demon Promotion and the Great Blood Sea.
But they had overestimated Ouksa; all his information ca from previous generations of Tribe Priests or occasionally through sculptures, sotis communicating with stronger Priests or High Priests, so the information was extrely limited.
The only information revealed was this: only by taking control of the Blood Sea Space could his tribe ensure its safety and have more say.
“The Great Blood Sea might be more dangerous than we anticipated.”
Su Han muttered, then looked at Bai Qilan, who nodded slightly and asked the final question, “What are the responsibilities of a priest?”
“To make offerings,”
Ouksa’s response was a bit more specific this ti, “To worship the Lizard God, contribute the spiritual power of the Tribe, nurture strong Lizardn descendants, always be ready for battle, plunder the resources of boundary worlds.”
The boundary world had appeared several tis during inquiries to Ouksa, describing those worlds on the fringe of alternate dinsions.
The Earth is one of these boundary worlds, where all materials, population, land, energy, and souls are among the contested resources.
The races living in the Blood Sea Space, especially the Lizardn Clan and the Abyssal Insect Race, are not Blood Sea Demons; their resource base is inherently limited, thus plundering is the foundation of their survival.
“Why don’t you send higher-order Lizardn to directly plunder resources?”
“The spiritual energy of this boundary world is still too scarce to support more powerful beings, and the dinsional passages are also insufficient for transport.”
Ouksa’s answer made Su Han frown. What did he an by insufficient to support? Was the enormous one-eyed monster from the apocalypse’s beginning not powerful enough?
Absolutely not.
There was only one possibility, and that was that the monster exceeded the so-called limits Ouksa referred to—whether it be the burden of support or the dinsional passages, neither could restrict that being.
Su Han wanted to ask about the one-eyed monster, but he stopped just as the words reached his lips.
Since Ouksa’s understanding of the Great Blood Sea was based on hearsay, inquiring about such a being could likely yield no answers.
“That’s about it.”
Bai Qilan’s voice intervened, ending the inquiry, then gradually disconnected the ntal interference. Ouksa’s spirit was already very weak; continuing might lead him close to death.
Su Han also noticed this and disconnected the Mother Worm’s ntal energy transmission.
“You… you….”
Having been freed from control, Ouksa’s voice beca extrely weak. He didn’t finish his sentence before fainting.
“Let’s go.”
Su Han and Bai Qilan ca out from the underground prison, but their moods had not cald down as quickly.
“The Blood Sea World might really be the main event. With so many dinsional rifts, even if the Lizardn Clan and the Abyssal Insect Race are not present, if a Blood Sea Demon truly takes shape and descends, there will be few who can withstand it.”
Bai Qilan seed a bit worried because according to Ouksa, if a Blood Sea Demon descends, it would an that they have successfully promoted to demon status.
Souls indestructible, they could be reborn in the Blood Sea, and the Blood Sea Space serves as their immortal barrier.
At that ti, let alone nuclear weapons, even if you were to blast a huge crater into Earth, shattering a corner of it, as long as the Blood Sea Space remains, their invasion cannot be stopped.
Then, the most likely outco would be an endless resistance to attack, and the war would go on unceasingly.
Moreover, the reliance is likely on Fifth-Order Contractors, or even more powerful Contractors.
But is that possible?
According to the human rate of evolution, there might not be many at the fourth order.
“There should still be so ti.”
Su Han spoke to comfort, musing as he said, “Apart from that one-eyed creature on the first day, the arrival of the Abyssal Insect Race was limited to fourth order units, which suggests that the arrival and dinsional rifts are restricted. Although they might continue to escalate, there is still ti before the fifth-order arrives. However, you are right, we need to focus more on the dinsional spaces.”
Bai Qilan looked into Su Han’s eyes, speaking softly, “Do you want to undergo demon promotion?”
She slightly furrowed her brow, pondered, and said, “Based solely on Ouksa’s words, we might not fully grasp the pros and cons of demon promotion. Moreover, from his descriptions, demon promotion is not necessarily an alternative to simply increasing power levels, it’s more like it integrates into a certain system, thus avoiding rejection.”
At the fifth order, one becos prey, but entering the Great Blood Sea through demon promotion is different; it feels more like integrating into the rules of the opposite world.
It’s hard to say whether demon promotion might have any side effects.
“We got involved with that world from the start.”
Su Han raised his left hand, the Book of Blood Spirit clearly visible, an object not of human talent but given by the one-eyed entity.
Although it’s unclear what it is, it certainly cos from that world, possibly even from the Great Blood Sea.
“I will let the Angel Envoy undergo fusion; there’s still a chance.”
Su Han thought quickly; possessing the ability to fuse all things gave him confidence, even though its origin was unknown.
The two returned to the Sumr Garden Mall, where the inquiry results were deed too sensitive to be shared beyond certain senior levels.
Not everyone can handle the fact that there exists a seemingly effortless power capable of destroying humanity on the other side of the world.
Bai Qilan didn’t rest long and imdiately headed to the research facility.
The information revealed by Ouksa included not only the Great Blood Sea and demon promotion but also more details about the use of Lizard Script.
Bai Qilan had already collected so information on this, but now Ouksa provided more.
The Stone Bone Tribe’s Lizard Script and its applications ca from the upper tribes of the Lizardn Clan; the inheritance of Lizard Script wasn’t vast, encompassing defense, attack, and more.
Held by talented Lizardn, it was used for battling or forging unique items.
Using Lizard Script directly in battle is difficult for humans who cannot produce such syllables, nor can they activate certain rules within it, suggesting it was made by a more advanced existence.
However, Bai Qilan and her team could utilize Lizard Script to decode special spiritual energy structures, deriving new thods for humans to utilize spiritual energy.
Whether called talismans or curses, if this system could be developed and new ways to use spiritual energy uncovered, then forging more spiritual energy equipnt would beco possible, unleashing more potent human combat capabilities.
After learning the secrets of the otherworld, Bai Qilan deeply understood the importance of combat power, so she imdiately returned to experint.
Su Han did not rest either; with his three Angel Envoys, he went straight to the second dinsional rift in the eastern part of the city.
Faced with the montarily retracted Abyssal Insect Race, as well as the Lizardn Clan lurking in the Blood Sea, Su Han understood that obtaining a ticket to the Great Blood Sea was the only way to glimpse a corner of this otherworld.
Only then could any crises be better managed.
With this in mind, taking action on several dinsional rifts soon found its place on the agenda.
The eastern city district’s dinsional rift was previously the site of the Nine-Snake Mother Tree’s fusion, having evolved to a fourth-order interdiate level, but had been too turbulent, necessitating a temporary retreat.
Almost a month had passed, and the tumultuous blood sea had already cald down, making this visit about continuing the fusion of the Nine-Snake Mother Tree.
“First, let the Nine-Snake Mother Tree upgrade, followed by the Insectoid Titan and the Mother Worm. If all four Angel Envoys are at the superior fourth order, we can then plan for the fifth order. Gaining confidence in demon promotion should then be feasible, but it’s best to reach the fifth order first and then undergo demon promotion afterward.”
Su Han plotted as he strode with his envoys into the dinsional rift.
anwhile, a group of people traveled from Linshui City to the outskirts of Huiyuan City, staring in awe at the towering city walls.
