Infinite Fighting

"I am Jing Yi of Jingxu Palace. I have been defeated in the battle against the extraterrestrial demons in the Northern Territory and have returned to the Void. This calamity is a cataclysmic disaster. I hope that all sects in all realms will set aside their past grievances and unite to evacuate, so that there may be a glimmer of hope for survival. That is all I have to say. Take care."

A message from the spacetime dimension arrived, appearing directly in the Xuan Domain Network of all sects in the entire Quanxu World, and was received by all cultivators.

Zhang Ji also received the message.

Only now did he subconsciously realize that Jing Yi hadn't run away before, but had gone to confront Chao Mu alone.

However, it seems like they lost the laning phase.

Zhang Ji didn't seem to sense much urgency in Jing Yi's words.

After all, the South and the North are too far apart, and the world is too big.

They did not directly perceive the threat posed by the nest mother.

Zhang Ji originally thought so, but in just one day, he realized how exaggerated the Nest Mother's expansion could be without any restrictions.

"According to the observation of the Xuanji Instrument, this space has expanded a lot. The overall volume of the nest mother has increased hundreds of times in a single day, and the speed is still increasing."

Zhang Ji took the data displayed by the mysterious instrument from Fang Yi, and his expression became somewhat subtle.

"Can it really keep expanding like this? It wasn't this fast before. Now that there's no resistance, it's snowballing?" Zhang asked, completely bewildered.

Fang Yi remained silent; he didn't know how to answer these questions either.

"According to the calculations, how long until we reach the middle border?" Zhang Ji asked.

"Seven days and nights!" Fang Yi replied.

"Too fast!!" Zhang Ji raised an eyebrow.

He instantly calculated the result in his mind.

Exponential expansion, five months, the world is destroyed!!!
Jingyi was not lying; this truly was a catastrophe that would destroy the world.

His previous order to focus all efforts on building the Returning Void Divine Ship was correct.

If we don't fight desperately, we really won't be able to escape.

No, even if you fight desperately, you might not be able to escape.

They still haven't finished building that framework.

They're trying to urge the other three sects to put in their best efforts as well!

Just as he was pondering this, another message came from Zhang Ji's side.

It's news from the Lingxiao Sect.

Temporary communications built at great expense.

Kong Zhuoqun's projection appeared and said, "Sect Leader Zhang, please proceed to the 'Divine Shipyard' immediately to discuss the matter of shipbuilding."

After a brief exchange, Zhang Ji understood the situation.

The Central Realm, as well as the Eastern and Western Realms, have been ravaged by the Nest Mother. Many capable cultivators have already begun to flee, with their target being the Southern Realm.

The Returning Void Divine Ship needs to be repaired, and the repair needs to be accelerated and scaled up.

It's not just for accommodating the escape of four sects anymore; now it's a joint project built by dozens of major sects.

Zhang Ji's actions, which were originally driven by personal motives, have now been seen as prescient.

However, Zhang Ji is not happy right now.

Because on this side of the Void Continent, there is also a spacetime rift connecting to the Origin Star.

If the Nest Mother discovers the spacetime rift, it will then invade the origin star.

That wasn't the outcome he wanted.

Godship Dock.

This is the site where the Four Sects manufactured the Returning to Emptiness Divine Ship.

Currently, the Qingcang Sect is contributing the most effort, while the other three sects are being forced to contribute materials.

This also gave the Qingcang faction the greatest say.

At first, they thought Zhang Ji was being overly pessimistic, always fantasizing that the Nest Mother wouldn't attack and would run away after she had eaten her fill.

But no one expected that the nest mother would not have enough to eat.

That life form is too outrageous.

It now produces countless insects every day, multiplying exponentially. Even though the world is very large, it will devour everything in its path.

When Zhang Ji arrived, he discovered that, in addition to him, the leaders of the other three sects had their divine will projected here, as well as the True Persons who had fought together in the past from the other three realms, and the leaders of those major sects.

There's not much to say; the first thing is to choose a leader.

When it comes to fleeing, the Southern Territory was the first to unite.

The venue also belongs to the four sects of the Southern Territory, and Zhang Ji currently holds the most influence among them.

Therefore, without hesitation, Zhang Ji became the current person in charge of the Void Realm.

"Contribute your strength and materials; time is of the essence. We only have the shell right now, and it's uncertain how many people can be taken. Please provide a calculation list. How much space it can occupy within the divine ship and how many personnel can board it will all depend on your sincerity."

Zhang Ji expressed his thoughts very directly.

If you're still hiding things now, don't come here. Go have fun by yourself.

He only welcomes those who are willing to contribute and unite.

Of course, even at this point, there will still be selfish motives, and it is impossible to completely eliminate them.

However, as long as there is a majority of support, that will be enough.

At times like these, the world finally reveals its true depth.

A large amount of Void-Rank materials were sent out by the four sects, the structural blueprints of the divine ship were quickly optimized, and even True Persons of the Profound Heart Realm personally participated in the construction.

"It is expected that the initial construction can be completed within three months, and it will have the most basic navigation capabilities," Yang Junyu, the current master of Jingxu Palace, told Zhang Ji.

"Will we make it in time?" Zhang Ji asked.

“Theoretically, it is possible to catch up,” Yang Junyu replied. “Even at the current rate of expansion of the Nest Mother, it will take at least five months to completely devour the entire world. By the time we are able to return to the Void, it will have only reached the southern edge at most.”

Zhang Ji nodded slightly, indicating that he understood.

Origin Star Time: May 15th.

Quanxu Continent, Two Realms City.

The Nest Mother dispatched sentinels to scout, and insects appeared one by one. Zhang Ji reacted immediately. Fortunately, he had made preparations in advance, leaving an avatar here. Upon realizing that something was wrong, he immediately flew back.

His current escape speed is close to that of a flowing light, so when he returned, the insects had not yet begun their attack on the Two Realms City.

Zhang easily wiped out that swarm of insects.

But Zhang Ji knew very well that the spacetime rift had been exposed.

This was almost inevitable.

This place should have been exposed after that incident at Tuoluo.

However, Tuoluo was acting alone and did not have time to send a message before Zhang Ji killed him on the spot.

But this time it's different; the sentries' reconnaissance is supported by an information network.

Within Zhang Ji's mental detection range, he could see the figures of those six-crystal-winged insect generals at intervals, interspersed with some fist-sized, crystal-clear insects. These were the [Communication Insects], the key to building a communication network within the insect swarm. Their mental strength was exaggeratedly powerful, reaching S-rank. In normal combat, they were also responsible for transmitting command orders.

These inconspicuous little insects hide inside the bodies of the six-crystal-winged insects, and immediately transmit the message back to their mother nest.

"This is a major problem!"

Zhang Ji narrowed his eyes slightly, his emotions shifting.

If the mother nest blocks his fountain, he's really in a bit of a predicament right now.

"We must prepare for both possibilities!"

Zhang Ji pondered that while they needed to find a way to fight off the invading insects on Origin Star, he also had to consider confronting the Nest Mother head-on.

I'm about to break through myself.

With the path he's currently building, it's possible that he'll be able to defeat an SSS-level opponent while still being a Super S-level.

However, the Nest Mother has a special life form and seems to be no ordinary character among SSS-class beings. Even if he successfully breaks through, he is not confident of victory in fighting her.

While planning a direct confrontation is one thing, the escape plan cannot be delayed either.

The Returning Void Divine Ship was actually put to use this time.

Based on the current construction framework, once that thing is completed, it will be a large artificial planet, with its internal space compressed, so leaving room for the origin planet shouldn't be a problem.

It's possible to fit an entire planet inside.

I just don't know if it's possible to make it work given the special nature of the Origin Star.

However, if we can't move the Origin Star, it's always okay to take the people and equipment with us.
-
Origin Star.

Just as Zhang Ji made his decision on the Quanxu Continent, the military factory here immediately entered a period of high-intensity production.

"These [Journey] robots are made from the skeletal materials of giant beasts from the [Empty Bone Realm], integrating artificial golden core technology, possessing over three hundred spiritual magic matrices, and combining a conventional power source with a miniature reactor. Their flight speed and impact resistance reach the third stage of A-level."

Taiyi-Ling introduced Zhang Ji to their latest achievements, speaking eloquently.

"How much can you produce in a day?" Zhang Ji asked.

“If the latest [Miracle] production line in the Prism Star World were running at full capacity, it could produce three million units a day,” Taiyi-Zero said.

His tone carried a hint of emotion.

Three million robots a day, comparable to those in the early stages of the Nascent Soul realm, are on par with the combat power of the floating city back then, easily defeating the existing ones.

All I can say is that the superpowers in the Prism Star world are truly cheating.

In many places, even though the technology hasn't reached that level, they can still use superpowers to forcibly skip the development process and enjoy the fruits of their labor first.

For example, there are hand-made ultra-high temperature resistant materials, room temperature superconducting materials, and materials that absorb natural heat energy to produce low temperatures. Although they cannot be replicated on a large scale, some key mechanical technologies can already benefit from their achievements.

However, what Taiyi-Ling saw on Zhang Ji's face was not ease, but a somewhat forced expression.

"You're still not satisfied? Are you going to attack interstellar civilizations?" Taiyi-Zero asked.

"More or less!" Zhang Ji said. "If we hadn't won, we probably would have had to run away."

A single robot like this is only slightly better than the lowest-level worker ants. The queen can produce countless of them at a very low cost, while his production requires a lot of resources.

Three million units a day is an exaggeration, but compared to the nesting mother, it's not enough.

"I told them to step up their efforts and see if they could get two more production lines up."

Taiyi-Zero's expression wasn't very good, so he immediately turned around and left to urge the staff to work overtime.

He likes his current environment very much, where he can fully display his talents. If he were forced to run away, he would never have the chance to enjoy life as freely as he does now.

A large number of the already produced [Journey] robots were mobilized to firmly guard the spacetime rift leading to the Xuanxu Continent. At the same time, a group of robots went to the Xuanxu Continent to directly guard the spacetime gate near the Two Realms City.

Mikhail, who had just broken through to the Super S-class demigod level, was assigned by Zhang Ji to guard the area, and the Crimson Heaven Treasure Bottle was also given to Mikhail.

The goal is singular: to prevent the defenses of Origin Star from being breached before the escape is finalized.

Middle territory.

The mother nest's enormous size was beyond estimation.

It had absorbed an unknown amount of matter, and its interior was filled with spatial portals, allowing the insects to quickly pass through and continue building the nest in an orderly manner.

Its life form allows it to expand endlessly.

This wasn't even its largest size; at its largest, it was larger than the Void Realm.

However, there are far too many dangers in that chaotic void. Some powerful predators are so huge that their size spans endless space and time. Compared to them, a world like the Void Realm is not even as big as an ordinary creature or a tiny insect. They can swallow countless Void Realms in one gulp.

Suddenly, a message arrived via the [Link Bug].

The Nest Mother received the message, and was surprised, yet somewhat enlightened.

"Another world."

It finally understood Zhang Ji's origins.

Such a being could not possibly exist in the present world.

It makes sense that Zhang Ji came from another world.

The world that could give birth to someone like Zhang Ji must be quite extraordinary.

A hint of greed flickered in its eyes, but it wasn't in a hurry.

One must eat one bite at a time, and it still doesn't understand the specifics of that world.

First, devour the world before you, then we'll talk about everything else! (End of Chapter)
