Samsara Paradise: Dream Weaver of Connections.

In the last instant before the light engulfed his vision, Lin Yi heard a voice of gratitude.

Eustina's last fragment of consciousness bid her final farewell within the Seed of Reincarnation.

The dizziness from the spatial displacement lasted for less than half a second. When Lin Yi regained his sense of gravity, he was already standing in the center of the floor of his private room.

Lin Yi had heard of the Keser tribe.

The race's reputation in the Void can only be described as "infamous," and that would be an understatement.

Unlike most Void races, they do not have fixed territories or civilizations, but are more like ancient nomadic peoples, roaming the Void in groups.

When a Kerserk tribe arrives on a planet, they plunder all available resources like locusts: minerals are mined out, vegetation is eaten, water sources are polluted, and even rare gases in the atmosphere are sucked out by special devices.

Once the planet becomes a desolate wasteland, they will migrate en masse to find their next target.

At first, the major powers in the void did not pay attention to this behavior.

After all, compared to world-destroying races that can destroy the world and distort the rules at will, the behavior of the Kerser race is more like an inefficient resource collection with limited destructive power.

But soon, everyone realized the problem.

The reproductive capacity of the Kaser people defies common sense.

Researchers from a certain society captured live samples for study, and their conclusions shocked the entire void: females of this species can give birth to one hundred to one hundred and fifty offspring in a single litter. But that's not the most terrifying thing—the most terrifying thing is their reproductive cycle.

Twelve times a year.

Each pregnancy lasts only two weeks.

The larval stage lasts one month.

This means that a standard-sized Kerser population (about 100,000 individuals) can expand to tens of millions in just one year and exceed 100 million in two years without any interference.

Their efficiency in plundering resources increases exponentially with their numbers, creating a vicious cycle.

The Void has begun to "stir up trouble with the Xerath."

These little things spread like a plague, rapidly depleting the resources of any planet they touched.

They are not picky eaters; they will eat anything, from high-energy minerals to organic humus, from the Earth's core heat to stellar radiation, as long as it can be converted into energy to sustain their reproduction.

The demons and devils were initially pleased with this development—many of their rituals and props required flesh and soul as materials.

The sheer number of the Kerserks, their relatively weak individual strength, and their outrageous reproduction rate make them a perfect renewable resource.

For a time, the demon lords even joked that "the Xerath are a gift from the Void to us."

Until they were also full.

The flesh and blood warehouses are overflowing, the soul containers are overflowing, and the production line can't keep up with the harvesting speed.

Meanwhile, the number of Kerser is growing exponentially, and they have begun to encroach on the traditional hunting grounds of the demon race, even daring to launch sieges against lone low-ranking demons.

Finally, the entire void was forced to join forces to deal with the situation.

That joint extermination operation was unprecedented in scale, with seventeen major races dispatching their elite forces to conduct a comprehensive search across three star systems, eliminating hundreds of millions of Kerserians.

However, the effect was limited.

If you miss even one female individual, give it six months, and it will give you a new population.

In desperation, the demon lords made a decision that surprised everyone: they went to the Fallen Star and asked the God of the Underworld for help.

The Fallen Star is one of the few regions in the void that even the world-destroying races are unwilling to approach easily.

That is the realm of the ancient gods, and the god of the underworld is one of the rulers of that region.

It was an ancient deity whose origins were difficult to trace. He spent most of his time sleeping deep within the extinct planet, and when he occasionally awoke, he would go out to hunt life to replenish his "sense of existence".

In the past, whenever the God of the Underworld left the Fallen Star, it would trigger high alert and even joint resistance from the major forces in the void—no one wanted to become the next meal of this god of death.

But this time, it was the Demon Lord himself who came to their door, respectfully requesting: "Please take action and wipe out the Kerserians. Eat as much as you like, all you can eat."

Historical records do not record what expression the god of the underworld had at that time.

But according to fragments of information that circulated later, that ancient being remained silent for a long time, and finally asked only two questions:

"How many?"

"Eat whatever you want?"

After receiving a positive reply, Hades left the Fallen Star.

That was one of the few times in the history of the void that the god of the underworld fully displayed his authority, and there are clear records of such scenes.

He simply stood in the void, unfolding his own "domain of death".

In that instant, all the Kerserians within the range of the God of the Underworld's perception, regardless of their location or state, whether as individuals or in groups, had 99% of their life force drained instantly.

It's not killing, it's draining.

It is said that the god of the underworld burped and said to the demon lord, "If there are any more good things like this in the future, remember to come to me."

Then He returned to the fallen planet and continued to sleep.

According to reliable sources, the life force absorbed that time was too enormous, and the God of the Underworld has not yet fully digested it.

As a result of this battle, the Kerther population was reduced by 99%, and they were downgraded from "Void Plague" to "Regional Pest".

But the problem was not fundamentally solved.

As long as there are any who escape, and as long as they are given time, the Kers can make a comeback.

Various races had to establish long-term monitoring mechanisms, and once the number of the Kerser tribe exceeded a certain threshold, they would immediately organize a purge.

Now, the Reincarnation Paradise has detected that the special resource planet ERI-23 has been occupied by the Kerser race, and the number has reached several million.

Given the Kers's reproduction rate, if Lin Yi had arrived a few days later, the number might have reached hundreds of millions. If he had arrived a month later... the entire planet would have been devoured.

Lin Yi snapped out of his thoughts and looked at the mission panel.

In a single day, millions of Kerserians were wiped out from a planet.

It's not that he can't do it alone, but it would be extremely time-consuming and labor-intensive.

Although the individual members of the Kers are small, their numbers are large, and they are skilled at digging tunnels, hiding, and scattering to escape.

To completely clean up the area within a day, a highly efficient and large-scale clearing method is needed.

He thought of someone.

Lin Yi pulled up his contact list, found a contact with the nickname "Undead Girl," and sent a brief message:

"There are a large number of Kerserians to deal with, several million in number, located on the special resource planet ERI-23. Interested? You get 70% of the loot, I get 30%, I only need planetary access."

The reply came less than ten seconds after the message was sent.

"Send me the coordinates, I'll be there in an hour. You don't need to lift a finger, leave the rest to me."

Lin Yi looked at the reply and a slight smile appeared on his lips.

Sure enough, this guy is still the same as always.

poor.

Lin Yi replied: "Deal. See you in an hour."

He turned off the communication and turned his gaze back to the settlement interface.

The light screen faded away.

Lin Yi walked to the corner of the room, opened the storage space, and began to organize his spoils.

First is the seed of reincarnation.

Lin Yi took it out separately and placed it in a specially made storage box.

This thing is too important to be damaged in any way.

Then came dozens of space capsules, each filled with resources taken from Kiwatos.

These resources were enough to lay the foundation for a new civilization. Next came the divine bones and five fragments of divine souls.

Lin Yi carefully sealed them away. The value of these things was immeasurable, especially the divine bone that had been peeled from the body of the color. Although its structure had changed, the fragments of rules it contained were fatally attractive to any being of the divine system.

Finally, there are three hats.

Dark red hood, dark gray cowboy hat, and pure black bowler hat.

The reward Little Red Riding Hood gave was three opportunities to summon an extremely powerful being.

Lin Yi put the three hats into the deepest part of his storage space, placing them alongside the Seed of Reincarnation.

This is the real trump card, and it won't be used unless in dire straits.

After finishing these tasks, twenty minutes had passed.

Lin Yi changed into a set of casual black clothes that were easy to move in. Since he didn't need to lift a finger this time, he would treat it as a vacation.

Returning to his desk, Lin Yi accessed the internal network of the Samsara Paradise to search for the latest intelligence on the Keser Clan.

A large amount of information popped up on the screen.

In the past three months, the activity of the Kerserk has increased significantly, with small populations reported on seven resource planets, three of which have been cleared out.

The fall of planet ERI-23 was discovered a week ago, when the Kerserk population was only in the tens of thousands. However, by the time the Paradise of Reincarnation had mobilized its extermination forces, the population had exceeded one million.

At this rate, if it's not dealt with today, it could exceed ten million tomorrow.

Lin Yi turned off the light screen, closed his eyes, and began to adjust his state.

After one hour.

The teleportation light illuminated.

ERI-23 Special Resource Satellite, in geosynchronous orbit.

When Lin Yi recovered from the brief dizziness of the teleportation, he was already standing in a void.

Beneath my feet lies the unfathomable universe, above me are sparse stars, and not far ahead, a yellowish-brown planet is slowly rotating.

The planet's surface is covered with large patches of brownish-red, traces of the Kers' activities—they secrete a special mucus to soften the rock layers, making them easier to dig; this mucus dries and develops a unique color.

There are no satellites, no space stations, and no man-made facilities around the planet.

This is a resource planet that has not yet been fully developed. Its original value lies in the rich rare crystal veins deep in the crust, but now, these veins have probably been devoured by the Kerserians.

Lin Yi glanced at the time.

There are three minutes left until the agreed time with the undead girl.

He waited patiently, while slowly extending his senses to scan the planet's surface for signs of life.

The result made him frown.

Too much.

Numerous life signals spread across the entire surface of the planet like rashes, and even penetrated several kilometers underground.

These signals are mostly weak, but their sheer number is terrifying.

They gather in areas rich in mineral veins, and are frantically feeding, reproducing, and expanding.

Just then, ripples appeared in the space not far to the left.

A tall, slender figure stepped out from the void.

Undead Girl.

However, she didn't seem to be in good condition at the moment, as if she had been starving for a long time.

"Doctor, it's been a long time."

"The situation is worse than we thought. There are still large numbers of people gathered underground, and the total number may have already reached nearly five million."

“Five million…” the undead woman repeated softly, the red crystal at the tip of her staff spinning slightly faster. “Very good, my children will like it.”

She turned to the planet, extended her left hand, and spread her fingers.

An invisible wave emanated from her palm and swept across the surface of the planet.

A few seconds later, she withdrew her hand, her voice carrying a hint of satisfaction: "The meat is fresh, the soul is over 85% intact, and the energy level is low but sufficiently even."

Lin Yi glanced at her: "Are your 'children' very hungry lately?"

"I'm starving." The undead girl made no attempt to hide it. "The last world war was too fierce. I've used up 90% of my flesh and blood reserves, and my soul reserves are almost gone. You know the prices in Paradise. Those unscrupulous merchants have raised prices by almost 30%. I'm so poor I'm about to have to sell my underwear."

The Undead Girl's tone was full of complaints. In the world before last, the Undead Girl fought a world war with the people of Death Paradise. Although the Undead Girl won, the people of Death Paradise were not to be trifled with, and they managed to wipe out all of the Undead Girl's inventory.

Later on, the undead girl practically ravaged that world. If the Paradise of Reincarnation hadn't popped up a warning window, that world would probably have been completely drained by the undead girl.

She paused, her tone becoming somewhat subtle: "So, thank you this time."

You don't need the corpse, do you?

"I don't need this stuff either, you can have it all if you want."

"very good."

The undead girl took a deep breath and slammed her staff heavily into the void.

Despite having no physical support, the staff seemed to strike an invisible platform, producing a dull, resounding thud.

A dark red light burst forth from the crystal at the top of the staff, surging towards planet ERI-23 like a flood bursting its banks.

As the light approaches the atmosphere, it automatically disperses, transforming into countless fine red threads that envelop the entire planet like a network of blood vessels.

A network of red threads began to penetrate the planet's surface.

Ignoring the atmosphere and the rock formations, they precisely locate each individual member of the Kersel tribe, like living tentacles.

The first Kersei fell.

It was deep in the mine, munching on a piece of crystal, when suddenly its body stiffened, its skin quickly lost its luster, its muscles atrophied, and its eye sockets sunken.

In just three seconds, it turned into a dried-up corpse, retaining the posture it had in life.

Then the second, the third...

The red threads, like a deadly IV tube, are conveying the essence of life and the origin of the soul in reverse.

The ends of countless threads were connected to the undead girl's staff, continuously channeling the extracted energy into the dark red crystal.

The crystal's brilliance grew brighter and brighter, and its rotation speed increased.

On the planet's surface, death spreads like a plague.

Whole swathes of the Keser tribe fell silently, their lives forcibly stripped away, their souls extracted from their bodies, transforming into the purest flow of energy that surged into the reserves of the Undead Sister.

This process is highly efficient.

Lin Yi's senses locked onto several key areas.

That is the heart of the Kaser tribe, typically containing female matriarchs and a guard colony.

He needs to ensure that these core individuals are completely eliminated to prevent any that escaped from re-emerging after the cleanup.

"Southeastern Hemisphere, three kilometers underground, large nest, twelve mother organisms," Lin Yi reported the coordinates.

The undead girl did not respond, but the focus of the red thread network's infiltration immediately shifted to that area.

Twelve large, over ten-meter-long female Kaser women are laying eggs deep inside their nest.

They were surrounded by hundreds of elite guards, who were larger than ordinary individuals, with thicker carapaces and sharper mouthparts.

But it didn't work.

The red threads pierced through the rock strata, precisely piercing the central nerve nodes of each mother's body like a scalpel.

The mothers emitted sharp screams and struggled frantically, their ovipositors ejecting unformed follicles.

The guards tried to attack the silk threads, but their claws pierced through the red threads as if attacking a phantom.

Thirty seconds later, the nest fell silent.

All twelve mothers turned into mummies, and none of the surrounding guards survived either.

The red threads didn't even spare the follicles—the unhatched life force was forcibly extracted from their meager vitality.

"Cleanup complete," Lin Yi confirmed.

The operation lasted for a full two hours.

The necromancer's efficiency is terrifying.

She is like a precisely operating harvesting machine, her red silken network covering every corner of the planet, whether it be surface clusters or underground nests, whether it be active individuals or dormant larvae, leaving nothing out.

Five million Kers were wiped out in two hours.

When the last Kerser fell, the undead woman stopped chanting.

She lowered her staff, and the dark red crystal's light gradually dimmed, its rotation slowing down. Inside the crystal, the previously blurry phantom of a soul became much clearer, even revealing some complete outlines—it was the purified essence of the soul.

"Phew..." The undead girl let out a long breath, "Now we can finally have a good meal."

Lin Yi looked at the planet.

The planet's surface, which was once teeming with life signals, now only has a few faint reactions remaining—those are the very few individuals who escaped the catastrophe for special reasons, numbering no more than one hundred.

"There are still some fish that slip through the net."

"It's alright, I'll have my men do it while they're moving the corpses." The necromancer put away her staff, waved her hand, and casually summoned hundreds of thousands of skeletons to begin moving the corpses on the planet. These were all important resources to her. (End of Chapter)
