The plunder of the heavens begins with the Spirit Cage.

The Devouring Beasts' control preserved their consciousness, and upon seeing the explosion, their years of hardship made them instinctively want to pounce on it.

On the scorching sand, Romo endured the excruciating pain and dizziness as he raised his head.

To my surprise, a bright orange figure leaped swiftly down from the smoke-filled sky.

Its raised weapon mounts gleamed coldly in the sunlight.

Covered in rough metal armor, and wielding a reddish blade, he charged straight at the giant beast in the sandstorm.

Chapter 60 Life Source

From the moment Plasma Scorpion was hit by several missiles, the balance of this battle was no longer in doubt.

The plasma scorpion with its severed tail could not effectively hunt down the agile Dirk by swinging its remaining legs.

Even Dirk's appearance seemed to cause a brief system outage for the opposing team.

This is exactly the situation that Lu Qianwei has captured.

He hadn't paid much attention to the battle to clear out the Mana Flowers.

Now that he's capturing the plasma scorpion's state of 'other creatures', he has several guesses.

In the Ling Cage Universe, the life essence is the basic unit in four-dimensional space that carries life information, consciousness, and memory.

The key to maintaining the unity of soul and body lies in forming an energy loop with the body through bio-electromagnetic fields.

It cannot exist independently of living organisms, but it can be 'mostly' transferred and transferred between living organisms through brain transplantation.

So, from a macro perspective of the multiverse and parallel universes, this concept involving the soul can be understood as a setting that involves the soul.

As long as the physical rules are the same, the settings must be the same!

It's just a matter of different names, different levels of research in different times and spaces... and whether or not there are multi-dimensional spaces!

Other universes and dimensions are unknown, but in the Ling Cage world...

Since the beginning of the prehistoric era, Earth here has been entangled with multidimensional space, either passively or actively, due to the influence of the Mana Giants.

The superpowers of those with special abilities are the best example of this.

Over time, all life on this earth, constantly multiplying and thriving, must have undergone some kind of 'baptism' in terms of both body and soul.

At least compared to life forms in other universes, they would be more 'easier' to have their source essence absorbed by the Devouring Beasts!

I don't quite understand if Plasma Scorpion's doubts about Dirk stem from this aspect.

However, once he brings in a wild beast and lets the Devouring Beast absorb the source essence, he can confirm his guess, whether it succeeds or not.

"Shoot-"

With a crisp sound as Dirk's wrist blade pierced the stratum corneum, Plasma Scorpion, in pain, emitted a physical sound wave carrying wind pressure. Dirk, whose blood and qi were churning from the shock, moved slowly.

Taking advantage of this brief moment, the plasma scorpion, whose lower body was frozen into an ice sculpture, suddenly lowered its head, and a ghostly blue light suddenly shone from the gaps in its carapace.

It concentrated all the plasma energy from the scorpion's tail into its throat.

Unfortunately, before it could launch its attack, Dirk, who was prepared, threw out several ion darts from his waist, precisely slicing open the throat of the Devourer just as it was about to spray plasma.

The chain reaction of explosions from the throat instantly killed the plasma scorpion.

For the Ironbloods, creatures that spew energy from their mouths are far too common.

The only downside was that Dirk didn't get to be too lucky in this fight.

Dirk wiped the blood from his face and glanced at Romo and his two companions who were watching from a distance. He admired their courage in facing death.

Having been given a new lease on life, Romo and his two companions had no time to ponder Dirk's thoughts.

A 'beast-like superhuman' swiftly and decisively rescued them from danger, making him a hero in their eyes!

"We survived...we really survived!" Mouse muttered incoherently, his gaze fixed on the figure still standing beside the corpse.

Romo's steps were still a little unsteady, but he still managed to lead the two of them to catch up, albeit staggeringly.

"Hero! Thank you for saving us!" Iron Head shouted his gratitude to Dirk from a distance, barely able to contain his excitement.

"If it weren't for you, we would definitely be dead at the hands of this beast today!"

They all rushed forward to express their gratitude, but the aloof male god remained unmoved.

Instead, looking at the plasma scorpion's corpse lying on the ground, he now really wanted to cut off its head as a trophy.

However, upon closer inspection, it is not difficult to see that the wounds on the other person's body are slowly regenerating.

Following this trend, the plasma scorpion should be fully recovered in just over an hour.

However, it did not have such an opportunity after the number of armed airships descended.

Lu Qianwei arrived within three meters of the Devouring Beast immediately.

He didn't even have to do anything; the energy in the other person's body automatically transferred to him.

The head of the Devouring Beast, which had turned into black water and revealed its skeleton, naturally became one of Dirk's spoils of war.

"Such a large skeleton must be of great research value."

Even at the very least, they are good materials for making spirit weapons.

After arranging for a team to stay nearby and wait for someone to come and transport the goods, Lu Qianwei turned his attention to Luo Mo and the other two.

"Could you describe how you discovered this was a Devouring Beast?"

"We don't know much about this either."

When we found it, it had turned our entire convoy of people into stone near that giant crater.

"We escaped this disaster because we were out on patrol..." Romo explained the whole story.

"Did you encounter the other party nearby before?" Lu Qianwei frowned.

“No!” Romo answered affirmatively, adding, “We just shook off a pack of snarling hounds.”

To prevent looters and vagrants, we carried out emergency repairs on the vehicles near the giant pit.

There was nowhere nearby to hide the other person.

“Unless the other party is hiding in a pit… or underground.” Romo’s voice trailed off, as if he had grasped the key point.

Lu Qianwei also had a guess—the other party should be the leader of the thousands of Devouring Beasts they had sent warmth to last time.

At the time, I wondered how different types of Devouring Beasts could unite without a leader.

Now it makes sense, they were hiding underground!

When Lu Qianwei and the others arrived above the giant pit in the airship, they indeed saw the rammed earth breaking through the soil in the center of the pit.

Looking at the pit below and the size of the Devouring Beast, Lu Qianwei inexplicably thought of a possibility.

The other side has clearly evolved by absorbing the radiation left by the missile's aftershocks!

This plot is reflected in the 19th experimental subject of the Moon King Chronicles.

However, since he arrived in the Ling Cage world, the plot has changed drastically, and 'Master Lai' will no longer appear.

Because Jones received the 'Angel Potion' in advance, he did not conduct human experiments, but instead tested it on mice.

However, to this day, the neutralization of Miracle K and Angel Potion still cannot maintain stability.

Bai Yuekui's 'accidental' method of achieving immortality is not easy to replicate.

But who wouldn't want to live forever?

Knowing that the Ling Cage world had these two kinds of potions, he had already obtained the two formulas and even the potions through ASH during the period when his cooperation with ASH was gradually deepening.

It's a pity that I wanted to learn Bai Yuekui's method of achieving immortality.

That would require replacing some organs from a craniosynostosis clone to have a high probability of successful injection.

Such a thing is almost impossible. Bai Yuekui was in critical condition due to an accident, which forced him to have an organ cloned from cranial cells.

This is what Lu Qianwei calls the anchor point of human nature.

The cells produced by the skull did not become the clone industry for buying and selling organs.

Bai Yuekui had no choice that time.

Before the system gained energy awakening, Lu Qianwei did not intend to do this to the cranium.

After all, the other party is the hope for dealing with the second evolution of the Mana Flower.

Before the portal opened and another way out was found, he wouldn't have been so reckless as to consider suicide.

He does have a sense of the bigger picture.

As for now, that's even more impossible.

The portal represents countless possibilities, and he refused to believe that there was no way to find a way in other worlds.

Chapter 61 Pirate Ship

Near the giant crater, the plasma scorpion controlled and absorbed the people of Ironstone Fortress through some kind of mental suggestion.

Apart from the three vehicles that reacted quickly and escaped being damaged, the three trucks carrying supplies were undamaged.

After Lu Qianwei had the data on the giant pit recorded, he released the three people who had refused to go to Starlight City.

As Romo watched the floating vehicle disappear into the distance, he sometimes couldn't help but envy the power of the Dark Fortress.

If Ironforge had any extra fusion fuel, he would drive it around, as it was much safer than on land.

"Boss, all three trucks are fine!" Mouse shouted excitedly, pulling Romo back to reality.

The airship stopped at the bunker's helipad. Lu Qianwei had barely gotten off and walked a short distance when his younger sister suddenly appeared behind him again.

"Sometimes I really wonder if you've naturally awakened some strange ability?"

"Really?" Lu Yue thought for a second, then decided not to think about it anymore.

With a hint of resentment, she replied, "You told me immediately that you had information about Hisakawa and Kyoto."

"They replied?" Lu Qianwei was referring to joining the Freemasons.

"Yes, both Jingxu and Jiuchuan plan to send a team to conduct a formal inspection."
