“Alright, he’s him and I’m me. Don’t worry too much. I won’t court death.”
“Yeah.”
“Your main body will continue to stay here to maintain spatial acceleration. Split up a clone and go out with me. It’s time to end the trouble outside.”
As Lin Bei spoke, he raised his hand and waved. A spatial passageway appeared. Then, he pulled one of Qiqi’s clones and strode into the spatial passageway.
Qiqi looked at the departing figure for a long time, and a smile appeared on her lips.
She believed that he would not make the same mistake again.
On the Void Battlefield, Lin Bei retracted his clone that was refining the Human Puppets. His gaze landed on the few figures standing in front of him. Previously, they were all Monarch-rank experts, which were experts above the Great Dao. However, now, they had all been refined into Human Puppets and were obedient to him.
“There must be other masterminds hiding behind these people.”
Lin Bei thought for a moment and instructed the five human puppets in front of him, “The few of you, introduce yourselves.”
“Understood!”
The five human puppets replied in unison.
Then, Lin Bei learned their identities from the five of them.
The two traitors of the Heavenly Mysterious Realm were Cai Chenggou and Bu Shiren. They were both higher-ups of the Southwest Battle Command.
As for the other three, they were respectively from the Giant Valley and Ice Fire Island.
The Giant Tribe’s Man Qing was a thousand feet tall. He was like a mountain and his voice was like thunder. With a raise of his hand, he could tear space apart. He was very powerful.
As for the two people from the Ice Fire Island, they were only 1.5 meters tall. One was called Ice Rain, a female warrior wearing ice crystal armor, and the other was called Fire Cloud. He was a man with a bare chest and burning hair.
As for the two people from the Heavenly Mysterious Realm, Cai Chenggou was from the Dao Mystic Sect, and Bu Shiren was from the Ancient Buddha Sect.
After knowing their identities, Lin Bei narrowed his eyes.
If he remembered correctly, in the ancient records of the Star Flame Race, the Dao Mystic Sect and the Ancient Buddha Sect had taken away a few world fragments. Perhaps… he could use the two of them as a breakthrough point and think of a way to borrow the world fragments of the Dao Mystic Sect and the Ancient Buddha Sect.
“Why did you set them up to kill them?”
“Master, it’s an order from above.”
“From above? Who are they?”
“We don’t know either.”
Cai Chenggou explained, “We can only establish a connection with the higher-ups through the Dream Spirit. As for who they are, we have no way of knowing.”
“Dream Spirit? What’s that?”
Lin Bei frowned and asked.
“It’s this.”
Without any hesitation, Cai Chenggou flipped his palm, and a colorful butterfly appeared in his hand.
“We can inject a wisp of soul into it and enter the dream to communicate with them.”
Cai Chenggou continued, “However… I once heard them mention the word ‘Abyss’ frequently, so… they might be related to the Abyss. As for other things, I don’t know. Master, you can ask others.”
“I understand. Do all of you… have this Dream Spirit?”
Lin Bei frowned and asked.
“I don’t.”
At this moment, a voice that was like muffled thunder sounded. It was Man Qing from the Giant Valley. When he saw Lin Bei looking over, he continued, “I followed the arrangements of the elders in the clan and came to collect seeds.” “Seeds?”
“It’s the source of life for these people.”
Man Qing said in a low voice, “It’s very difficult for the Giant Clan to pass down descendants. Over the long years, we have grasped a technology that can transform humans with suitable aptitudes into Giants. For the prosperity of the Giant Clan, we have no choice but to make such a choice. Therefore, I’m here to collect the life source of these people and return to transform them into our clansmen.”
“…You can transform ordinary people into giants?”
Lin Bei asked in surprise.
“Ordinary people can’t. They have to be people with suitable aptitude. Moreover… even if their aptitude is suitable, the probability of success is very low. About… only about 10%. But even so, compared to the normal reproduction of the giants, it’s still much higher.”
“What are the chances of the giants giving birth to offspring if they reproduce normally?”
Lin Bei couldn’t help but be curious. If 10% was considered high, what was the probability under normal circumstances?
“If we’re fully prepared… there’s probably a one in a thousand chance of childbirth.”
“One in a thousand? It’s indeed very low.”
Lin Bei was speechless.
Compared to this probability, a 10% probability was equivalent to increasing the success rate by a hundred times. No wonder the Giant Clan felt that this was a high success rate.
Sigh, it was really difficult for them.
Still…
Lin Bei’s eyes lit up and he thought to himself, “I think I have a better way. As long as I use my method, their Giant Clan might not have a 100% chance of giving birth to children, but at the very least, it’s much higher than 10%! Moreover… the ones who are modified are not blood relatives after all. How can they be as reliable as their own children?”
At the thought of this, Lin Bei could not help but have an idea.
Every Giant was extremely powerful and had a long lifespan. If he could obtain such a help, it might not be a bad thing.
Moreover, as a race that had been passed down from the ancient martial arts era, they should have grasped a lot of secrets. Perhaps there was a lot of information about the world fragments.. If they could build a good relationship…
