Chat group, starting from the Infinite Terror God Space

With his mind settled, Wang Qi's expression became calm, and his demeanor exuded a detached and composed air. He looked at Zheng Zha, Zhan Lan, Zhang Jie, and Li Xiaoyi, and slowly revealed his plan to travel alone.

"I plan to go to LV426. I will hunt down aliens there to earn a lot of side quests and reward points, which I will use to exchange for cultivation techniques, elixirs and various rare resources needed for my future training."

The Red Queen was already on standby, and the flight path was ready.

Everyone could only accept it silently. In a corner, the severely injured and trapped alien queen was on the verge of death and posed no threat.

Once he recovered from his injuries, Zheng Zha, along with Zhang Jie and the others, was responsible for cleaning up the entire spaceship, eliminating any remaining facehuggers, alien embryos, and any stray alien species that had escaped, and completely eradicating any potential threats.

After the spaceship was cleaned, Wang Qi found a quiet and empty cabin.

The entire process of Zheng Zha breaking through the second-order gene lock just now involved extreme emotional collapse, the ultimate exploitation of his physical body, and the fragmentation and reconstruction of his consciousness.

He observed and memorized every detail. He planned to use it as a reference to actively attempt to unlock the second-tier gene lock.

Unlocking the genetic lock is an extremely painful process, with layers of excruciating pain including physical tearing, nerve burning, and loss of consciousness.

Wang Qi failed several times in succession, and both his physical body and soul were injured. Fortunately, he carried high-quality spiritual medicine with him.

Each time Wang Qi overexerted himself and collapsed, he was able to take medicine in time to repair his injuries and stabilize his foundation. After several torments and repeated attempts, the shackles finally shattered, and he successfully unlocked the second-stage gene lock.

After the second-order gene lock is fully unlocked, the human body's potential is fully awakened, and the control over the physical body reaches its peak. Every movement of muscles, blood vessels, nerves, and bodily fluids can be controlled perfectly at will.

The spaceship slowly glided through the dark and cold outer space.

……

The Red Queen has arrived.

Everyone looked at the screen, where a pale blue holographic screen unfolded out of thin air.

Chu Xuan slowly pushed up his glasses. His tone was calm and restrained, without a trace of emotion. He clearly and methodically dissected the arrangement of galaxies, the secrets of planets, and the origin of aliens, slowly unfolding the cruel truth hidden in this unknown star field.

"We are currently located outside LV426, belonging to the Kalpamos ring gas giant system, orbiting three natural satellites. It is adjacent to LV223, both in the Zeta Reticuli system. The two planets are not far apart, but their fates are very different."

Chu Xuan's explanation was meticulous and precise, with every sentence accurate.

LV223 is the origin of Prometheus. Above the rocky satellite suspended in the sea of ​​stars, there are towering peaks, desolate deserts, and crisscrossing valleys.

The atmospheric composition is suitable for human survival. Under the mild nitrogen-oxygen ratio, the remaining traces of ancient ecology silently engrave the past glory of the ancient engineer civilization.

LV426, located nearby, is a rocky planet situated between Earth and Mars. It possesses a complete atmosphere, and the remains of dried-up ancient seas litter its surface, yet the entire world is shrouded in endless desolation. The dark red Gobi Desert stretches to the horizon.

The surface rock layers were cracked and broken, and a gray-black haze that never dissipated from the sky obscured the sunlight. The air was filled with a strong, pungent smell of sulfur, mixed with the unique putrid stench of the aliens, which made people feel nauseous when inhaled.

The climate here is extremely harsh, with relentless gales whipping up rocks and ravaging the land, cold rain falling incessantly, and blood-red sandstorms frequently sweeping across the entire region.

The land was desolate and lifeless, barren of all vegetation, with only jagged rocks and broken cliffs standing side by side.

Around 2000 years ago, an engineer was parasitized by a facehugger on the planet LV-426. He made an emergency landing and died, and his spaceship crashed.

Wang Qi arrived alone at the external hatch and used his watch to connect to the spaceship's main control center: "Red Queen, open the Nostromo's external hatch."

The cold, mechanical electronic sound instantly filled the cabin. The heavy alloy hatch slowly opened and closed, and the biting cold of the vacuum of space, along with the deathly silence and nothingness, surged into the cabin through the gaps.

Wang Qi moved swiftly and stepped calmly out of the hatch. The ancient and imposing phantom of the Xuanhuang Bell slowly materialized around him, its gilded Dao patterns flowing and shining. A vast and thick golden light shield covered his entire body, perfectly isolating him from the vacuum of space, deadly radiation, and the desolate cold of minus 100 degrees Celsius.

Alone, he stepped into the vast, dark sea of ​​stars. Divine power suddenly erupted beneath his feet, and his figure plummeted like a meteor, carrying the force of breaking through the air, rapidly plunging down towards the dark and lifeless LV426 below.

During the descent, the fierce interstellar turbulence tore at the ground, the icy chill of corroded metal mixed with cosmic dust rushed towards us, and the oppressive atmosphere of the desolate planet also surged forth.

In the blink of an eye, Wang Qi landed steadily on the rusty outer deck of the wrecked engineer's warship.

The entire abandoned ship lay silent and lifeless, its rusted metal hull covered with the marks of time. Along the cold passageways, countless sharp claw marks were deeply embedded in the steel, and strong acid had corroded large, uneven weld marks.

Dark, dried bloodstains, congealed in every crevice and corner, told tales of past carnage. The flickering, cold emergency light swayed and shone.

The dim light cut through the boundless darkness, and the narrow, enclosed metal passage was chillingly cold, with every inch of air filled with despair and gloom.

Wang Qi slightly closed his eyes, unleashing his vast, boundless divine soul power. His invisible divine sense swept across the entire wrecked warship, meticulously examining every corner. In an instant, the core target was locked onto:

Inside the sealed cargo hold at the bottom, the forbidden black liquid left behind by the engineer is sealed away. At the entrance of the cargo hold, a huge adult alien queen lies dormant, her body tense, exuding an extremely oppressive and ferocious aura, guarding this ancient taboo.

With his objective set, Wang Qi walked calmly, alone through the cold, narrow passage, heading straight for the core cargo hold underground.

The patrolling aliens that sprang out at the sound of the noise bared their fangs and claws, dripping with foul-smelling saliva, their menacing aura chilling to the bone.

Wang Qi clenched his fist, and a long sword gleaming with a cold, sharp light appeared—the very sword he had placed in his system space.

The blade gleamed with a chilling silver-white light, its edge as thin as autumn water, and a faint, murderous intent slowly emanated from it.

With a slight flick of his wrist, the blade flashed, and he unleashed the Divine Blade Slash, sending slender, frost-like blade energies piercing the air.

Where the blade passed, the alien's hard exoskeleton cracked like paper, its torso snapped in two, and a dark green corrosive fluid sprayed out, sizzling and smoking as it hit the metal floor.

Without needing any extra moves, with a single slash and a kill, the blade flashed and crisscrossed, and in just a few breaths, all the alien creatures blocking the way were shattered, their broken bones and mangled bodies scattered throughout the passageway, and the stench of blood instantly filled the air.

At the end of the passage, the alien queen guarding the cargo hold suddenly sprang into action, her sharp, piercing roar tearing through the deathly silence. Her massive, deformed body pounced swiftly, her menacing inner teeth gleaming coldly, her deadly tail stinger concealing murderous intent, and foul-smelling, acidic saliva dripping continuously. Her entire body radiated killing intent, and a ferocious, oppressive aura swept over everyone.

The confined space is easily damaged by the aftershocks. Once strong acid splashes or brute force collides, the sealed container of black water will be completely destroyed.

Wang Qi moved unhurriedly, his long sword swung horizontally, layers of chilling sword energy swirling around his body, and with a light spin, he calmly dodged the gushing corrosive acid.

The next instant, he stepped forward, his sword suddenly hardening, its cold light piercing the sky, and a single slash landed heavily on the Queen's back armor.
