A Colossus rushes in at the start

Chapter 298 This long snake is too unyielding

Lu Shang had no idea what the space serpent was thinking; there were still many things he needed to understand.

"I've told you so much, now it's your turn to answer my questions," Lu Shang said.

"Hmph! I won't say anything. All you'll get is my corpse!" The Space Serpent's attitude remained extremely tough, full of the arrogance and indomitable spirit of a powerful being.

Upon hearing this, Lu Shang revealed a malicious smile. "Oh, really?"

"What are you going to do...?"

The space serpent struggled violently in tension. Although it was its first time encountering a human being and it couldn't understand human expressions, it could understand the other's meaning from their words. A bad premonition rose in the space serpent's heart.

……

After an indescribable physical process, the space serpent truthfully recounted its experience to the bee swarm.

In fact, it is not a creature of this universe, but a psionic creature born in a breeding farm of a certain civilization. After encountering the otherworldly Ara-god, it chose to join the ranks of the otherworldly Ara-god.

After becoming an otherworldly deity, it learned how to nurture more spiritual brains within its own body.

So, during its long and repeated invasions of other worlds, this giant space serpent suddenly had a strange idea: why should it go through all the trouble of raiding other worlds?

Will the world be completely plundered one day?

What will happen after the world has been plundered?

Based on this idea, the space serpent secretly broke away from the ranks of the otherworldly gods, randomly found a large universe to lie dormant, and began its exploration of the path of psionic energy.

In other words, it is to follow the path of the swarm exploring psionic energy, first constructing a world, and then guiding the beings in that world to develop higher levels of psionic energy.

This is how Reed Planet came to be, now imprisoned by the swarm of bees. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that this giant space serpent is the creator god of the psionic lizards on that planet.

However, due to incomplete understanding, the space serpent did not anticipate that civilized breeding would require accelerated time management, otherwise it would be extremely inefficient.

The space serpent chose to hide in the shadows, waiting for a psychic powerhouse to be born on Reed Star who met its requirements.

Even now, they encounter the sudden arrival of the Tower of Babel bee swarm.

"That's how it is, great being. As a humble being, I have told you everything I know. I beg you to have mercy and spare my life."

The Space Serpent answered all of Lu Shang's questions in detail; it was as arrogant as it had been just moments before, but now it was as docile as it had become.

"I still prefer your defiant attitude from just now," Lu Shang said.

"..."

The space snake was speechless.

Lu Shang glared at him disapprovingly and said, "What? You're not happy about it?"

"No, no, no! I'm just too happy!"

The space serpent was so startled that it quickly wagged its tail in response. The speed at which its tail swayed reminded Lu Shang of the pet dogs on Earth.

……

Within the swarm network, the swarm creatures are engaged in a heated discussion about the otherworldly Aragami.

Otherworldly Desolate Gods are psionic beings that the swarm encountered while reclaiming those civilized farms. They are capable of opening wormholes and invading other universes across the cosmos.

These psionic beings were originally psionic creatures in the civilization's breeding farms. After the final destruction, these psionic beings were freed. Some were peace-loving, while others were war-loving. So the latter began to invade other civilizations' breeding farms and plunder everything they could.

In each world they invaded, the size of the otherworldly Ara Gods grew like a snowball. With each invasion, a group of psionicists would join the Ara Gods' camp.

Even if they initially joined the Otherworldly Arajin for various reasons and were reluctant to slaughter or invade the beings of other worlds, as the number of times increased, their mentality changed under the bond of interests, and they eventually became Otherworldly Arajin who enjoyed invading other worlds.

The term "otherworldly gods" does not refer to a specific civilization, but rather to a broad category. Any entity with powerful spiritual energy that invades other universes can be considered an otherworldly god.

Strictly speaking, according to this broad category, bee swarms can also be considered, in a sense, otherworldly abominations.

The swarm creatures thought a lot about it. Considering that there were many out-of-control psionic creatures in those containment areas, they might encounter many psionic creatures like the Space Serpent that emulate the swarm and specialize in psionic energy in the future.

We might even encounter a psionic creature with level 100 psionic power. If we continue down the path of the swarm and give it enough time, that's almost certain.

"It seems that the swarm might encounter more otherworldly gods in the future, and there might even be individuals with level 100 psionic energy," said one of the medium creatures.

One of the beehives said, "No matter how strong it is, it is still just an independent individual. Against the group, level 100 psionic energy is useless. They will only become food for the swarm."

One of the planetary beings disagreed, saying, "It's better to be cautious."

"agree."

Other planetary life forms and the Mother Universe echoed this sentiment, and regardless of the facts, it's always good to be cautious.

Sensing the topic was drifting off course, one of the medium creatures said, "What about the Grana and Moston bee colonies? We still have no clue."

One of the hives said, "Have you noticed that the psionic energy of this alien deity from another universe is very similar to that of a psionic individual controlled by the hive?"

"Now that you mention it..."

……

Lu Shang was able to read the information exchanged within the swarm network in real time. A problem discovered by a certain hive made Lu Shang think of a certain possibility.

Lu Shang then said to the Space Serpent, "I'll ask you a few more questions. You must answer truthfully and not lie."

"Yes, I will answer all your questions without reservation," the space serpent replied, nodding its massive head sharply.

After organizing his thoughts, Lu Shang asked, "Have you ever encountered a being like me, whose psionic energy is so immense that it exceeds your comprehension?"

Space Serpent was lost in thought, and after a moment of contemplation, it replied, "This... I haven't had any contact with it."

"If I had encountered it, I would remember it vividly and never forget it," the Space Serpent said with certainty.

As if he had confirmed something, Lu Shang nodded and muttered, "In that case, this is interesting..."

He glanced up at the giant space serpent, then waved it away as if shooing away trash.

"Get lost, you're no longer of any use to me."

However, to Lu Shang's surprise, the giant space serpent's reaction was not what he expected. Instead of escaping with relief, it remained in place.

"Um... Great sage, may I ask you for a favor?" the space serpent asked hesitantly.

I kindly let you go, but you won't leave and you even expect me to do things for you?

Who gave you the nerve?

Lu Shang said coldly, "If you don't want to leave, you can remain here in eternal slumber."

Seeing Lu Shang's attitude, the Space Serpent stopped hiding its intentions and quickly explained its request.

"I humbly request that you allow me to become your disciple and serve you!"

Lu Shang was stunned, and after a long while, he asked with some disdain, "...Have you lost your mind?"
