Please be my partner.

In the blood sea world, in a magnificent temple.

The dome of the temple is covered by a sea of blood. In the center of the temple, there are three thrones, on which sit three majestic projections. They are the three gods of the endless sea of blood.

Beneath the throne, hundreds of seats were neatly arranged. Most of them were projections, with only a few being entities, but they all exuded the aura of demigods.

At this moment, ripples appeared on the sea of blood on the dome. This scene immediately attracted the attention of those physical demigods, but after waiting for a while, seeing that the Mother Goddess did not issue an oracle, they withdrew their gaze.

…………

Melen did not encounter any more setbacks on the journey afterwards and successfully returned to the poisonous cloud area.

After this period of expansion and digestion, Green Mist Dog's poisonous realm has now occupied three chaotic areas in the spiritual world, and the number of saints under his command has increased by two, reaching a total of six, including powerful saints such as Thunder Dragon and Netherfire Stone Monster.

Of course, as of now, the initial basic dividends have been used up. More than a dozen chaotic areas, large and small, around here have felt the threat of the green fog dogs and have united to fight against them. There is also the shadow of a stable node behind the scenes fanning the flames.

With the Poison Realm as a natural advantage, the poison cloud area is easy to defend, but the edge areas have been tied up, and it is temporarily impossible to expand.

But it doesn't matter. If Mellen doesn't take action, the current territory is the limit of what Green Mist Dog can control with his current strength. It's just right to use the conflict in the border area to hone his own followers.

Time passed slowly, and as various precious resources from the collector gradually arrived, the quantum force field of the α-07 Macross was slowly being repaired.

Melen doesn't need to worry about the specific repair process. There is a complete mechanism in the fortress, and he just needs to invest the corresponding resources.

Otherwise, with Mellen's current level of technology, he really couldn't handle a creation of this level.

During this process, the first [Leviathan (battleship form)] built by Xiaoyin is about to be completed.

Chapter 457 Rule Weaving Method

"...So, how can I avoid the gaze of the source of the rules?"

When Melen asked this question, several other members of the Council of Beasts were a little surprised.

The cat blinked and said, "Little Wolf, this question is not something a novice saint can handle. Where did you hear it from?"

Since Melen had already asked, he naturally didn't intend to hide it, so he said frankly: "I have a secret method to burst my strength. It can push my strength to the peak of Saint in a short period of time."

Long's eyes moved, and he whispered, "[Soul Synchronization]?"

Melen showed a look of surprise. He didn't expect that Long even knew his core professional abilities.

But if you think about it carefully, in the ancient universe of all beasts, wolves have always been the loyal lackeys of dragons, so it is understandable that dragons know many secrets of wolves.

Mellen nodded and said, "Yes."

Long nodded with emotion and said, "After absorbing the advantages of the rules of the two universes, there has indeed been a change. If it were before, Wolf's [Soul Synchrony] would not have been able to achieve such a huge improvement."

Melen's heart moved slightly. He had heard from the people in the Council of Beasts before that although the invasion of the Starry Universe by the Beast Universe had failed, its inheritance had not been cut off. Instead, it had been secretly absorbing the power of the rules of the Starry Universe.

The reason why these inheritances came into being in this era is naturally because they have absorbed the power of the rules of the two universes and completed self-improvement.

To be honest, the inheritance of Melen and other members of the Council of Beasts is far above the ordinary mythological inheritance, and even has its own strange changes.

This is also the fundamental reason why they dare to declare that their ultimate goal is to rule both universes.

Long did not continue to ask, after all, the changes in professional abilities were the core secret of every member of the Council of Beasts.

Moreover, Long also has enough confidence that his inheritance is originally the strongest among all members, and it will only become stronger after the rules are improved!

After carefully considering his words, Long said, "It's actually not that difficult to avoid the gazes of those beings at the source of the rules."

"For the Saint stage, until you achieve Perfect Sainthood, you won't even be able to sense the presence of those gazes. After achieving Perfect Sainthood, there's basically no need for cultivation anymore. The next step is to consider how to ascend to Demigodhood. So generally speaking, as long as you don't unleash secret techniques that use power beyond your own capabilities and take care to restrain your aura, those sources of rules won't notice you."

"For Saints who only master the power of a single rule, peak Sainthood is already their upper limit. Even some explosive secret techniques will not allow them to transcend this range."

"And, for Saints who have mastered the power of multiple rules, when they reach the peak of Sainthood, they can easily surpass the limitations of Sainthood through the resonance between the rules. This is quite conspicuous in the eyes of those at the source of the rules."

"In order to deal with those great beings who knew no emotion, our ancestors developed the method of concealment. After generations of refinement and modification, it became the most widely used... method of rule weaving."

"The so-called rule weaving method is to weave the different rules you master into an orderly arrangement so that the effects they produce are balanced and offset. This way, you can maximize the power of the rules without causing drastic fluctuations in the rules. Moreover, after the different rules are woven together, the mutual repulsion and confrontation between them will be greatly reduced."

Seeing Mellen's eyes light up, Long chuckled and tossed him a memory crystal.

After Melen took it, he asked, "I..."

Long seemed to know what Mellen wanted to say. He waved his hand and said, "This is a parliamentary benefit. You don't need to pay anything."

Seeing this, Melen gladly accepted the memory crystal.

As the Ten Thousand Beasts Council was about to end, Long said, "The Dark Lord has already taken the bait. They'll be ready to take action in three months, or even six months. You should prepare yourself."

"Yes!"

After Melen regained consciousness, he played with the memory crystal in his hand for a while, then probed his mind into it and read the rules of weaving.

After a moment, Melen seemed to understand.

He stretched out a finger, and two strands of rule-based power emerged from it, constantly entangled and circling each other. In the process, the fluctuations they emitted balanced and offset each other, gradually approaching nothingness.

This feeling is somewhat similar to Golden Hair's power of light and dark fusion, but in essence they are completely different. The power of light and dark fusion is a change at the energy level, while the power of Mellen's fingertips is at the rule level.

As time passed and the power of the weaving rules increased, Mellen's brows gradually furrowed, because he found that in order to control the two rules for weaving, the energy required was increasing, which was a geometric increase.

At this level of difficulty, Mellen couldn't last more than a minute, and this was just two rules...

Melen was stunned for a moment, and after a brief pause, the power of rules appeared at his fingertips again, but this time there were three strands.

Three different rules of power quickly changed and intertwined at the fingertips. After a moment, a strange look appeared on Mellen's face.

If the difficulty of weaving two rules is the multiplication and division of five-digit numbers, then the difficulty of weaving three rules is the addition and subtraction within ten. The gap between the two is simply immeasurable.

When weaving the two rules, Mellen needs to always pay attention to the strength relationship between them, and constantly differentiate and balance them. Any mistake will lead to all the previous efforts being wasted. He doesn't even think that he can devote much energy to the battle in this state.

However, when the three rules are woven together, whenever two of them become unbalanced, Mellen only needs to slightly guide the third one to restore the three to balance. The difficulty of operation is reduced a hundred times, and the duration of balance is extended a hundred times.

Should we say that the triangle is indeed the most stable shape?!

Next, Melen tried weaving with four, five, and six rules respectively. Although the difficulty of weaving would increase a lot with each additional rule, even the maximum number of six rules was much simpler than with two rules.

After figuring out the basic principles of regular weaving, Melen began to practice formally.

Rules are different from each other, and everyone's understanding, use, and mastery of the rules are also different.

Therefore, when the rules are woven together, the balance and offset efficiency are completely different.

Because of his profession as a Wolf Tamer and his relationship with the dogs, Melen has mastered the power of many rules, so there are more rules that need to be woven.

After all, based on the complementarity and restraint of the rules, Mellen needs to choose different combinations in different situations.

For example, in the recent attack by the Blood Sea Saint, Mellen used the power of Little Red Lotus, Golden Hair and Little Liuli. Golden Hair could make the enemy relax their vigilance, and Little Liuli could make them fall into illusion, so Little Red Lotus could easily devour them, and they couldn't even put up an effective resistance.

If Golden Hair or Little Liuli were replaced by Spike and the others, Mellen would naturally be able to defeat them, but the process would definitely not be so easy. In addition, the opponents were five Blood Sea Saints, and if he was not careful, one or two of them might escape, which would be a bit of a loss.

There are the most combinations among the three types of dogs, but this one is actually the simplest. Melen only needs one or two hours to weave almost every combination. Including the rest and recovery in the middle, it takes less than two days in total.

Although the three times of [Soul Synchronization] are currently just within the range of the peak of Saint, that is because the dogs' current strength is generally at the early stage of Saint. As the dogs become stronger and stronger, it may not be long before they exceed it, so this is naturally not a useless effort.

Although the number of combinations between the four types of dogs has been reduced a lot, the difficulty has also increased a lot. It took Melen three days to weave just one of them.

Melen is not planning to weave all four dog combinations for the time being, but instead plans to focus on several combinations with Nasus as the core.

After all, without the support of Nasus's soul path, it was still too difficult for Melen to use [Soul Synchronization] more than four times on his own.

The same goes for five dog combinations, not to mention six.

However, rule weaving does not have too many requirements for the external environment. At this time, there are still three to six months away from the "Hunting God" operation of the Council of Beasts, so Melen can completely choose to proceed on two parallel lines.

That is to say, while weaving the rules, we explore the endless void!

If the Void Dog can be promoted to a Saint before the action begins and the corresponding rules can be woven at the same time, then Melen will be able to use the power of [Soul Synchrony] seven times.

You know, every time you use [Soul Synchronization], your strength will increase exponentially.

Moreover, by then, Mellen will be able to weave more rule combinations. Although this is not an absolute improvement in strength, it can bring Mellen more "tricks".

Mellen looked at the biological battleship built by Xiaoyin's clone and nodded with satisfaction.

The entire biological battleship is a hundred meters long, with a hard keratin shell on the outside. It looks like an enlarged version of a beetle, but its body is more slender and smoother.

After Melen entered, he did not see the bloody flesh as he had imagined. The passages connecting various places were all made of keratin, but behind these were various flesh modules.

The biological battleship has an independent energy pool, and of course, when necessary, it can also obtain energy by eating flesh and blood.

There are all kinds of insects in the biological battleship. They are symbionts of the biological battleship, or parasites. They have no intelligence of their own and can only transport, repair, maintain and perform other operations on the biological battleship according to the instincts set at the beginning of their birth. Orders can also be given directly to them through the biological battleship.

Soon Mellen arrived at Cambridge, which is the brain of the biological battleship. Here, there is a style that combines biology and science fiction. There are tumors everywhere, which are the centers that control various parts of the biological battleship.

Mellen asked with interest: "Xiaoyin, how do I control it?"

Although Melen had controlled various types of warships during the commander assessment in the α-07 Macross, this was his first time to control a biological warship. Moreover, the ones he controlled during the assessment were all virtual, and naturally could not be compared with the feeling of a real warship.

Hearing Mellen's words, the small silver split light ball following him flashed, and a huge tumor suddenly collapsed, revealing the flesh and blood culture chamber inside, and dozens of tentacles could be seen wriggling inside.

Mellen looked at this scene, and a question mark slowly floated over his head.

Xiaoyin's clone said, "Master, you only need to enter it and connect to it, then you can control this biological battleship freely."

Melen was silent for a long time, and suddenly felt that this thing wasn't so fun anymore. Besides, he still needed to weave rules on the road, so how could he have the time to control the warship?!

With this in mind, Mellen skipped the topic and asked, "Besides manual control, is there any other way to control this biological battleship?"

Xiaoyin's clone said, "The biological battleship itself has a certain degree of intelligence and can receive simple commands. In addition, I can also help the master control it."

Mellen breathed a sigh of relief and nodded, saying, "That's good. We don't need to go too far this time to reach the Endless Void. We can just explore the shallow areas. It would be even better if we can find a Void Behemoth or resources that can help it."

Xiaoyin's clone flashed and said, "Command received!"

"Master, since this Endless Void voyage is primarily for exploration, I suggest optimizing this warship's biological detection radar, scanning and analysis system, and power engine. Furthermore, twenty-one minor adjustments can be made. Upon completion, we estimate that the overall exploration efficiency will increase by 32%."

Mellen asked, "Is there a specific plan? How long will it take?"

Xiaoyin's clone said, "The Leviathan (Fortress Form)'s manufacturing blueprints contain the corresponding biotechnology. However, adapting it to this biological battleship will sacrifice some of its other performance capabilities. The renovation is estimated to take three days."

Mellen nodded and said, "Okay, as soon as possible."

The biological battleship was immediately rebuilt and renovated, and Melen was not idle either. Since he was going to focus on the Void Dog in the short term, he naturally had to complete all the preparations.

Melen conducted a bloodline exploration on the Void Dog, but the result made him laugh and cry.

Void Dog is surprisingly similar to Little Red Lotus, with his entire bloodline locked down, and there is only one evolutionary path...

【Name】：Void

[Race]: Void Behemoth (Purple)

[Racial Level]: Level 4

[Racial Skills]: Void Feast, Void Body, Void Power

[Evolution Direction]: → Void Behemoth King (Orange)

[Void Behemoth King]: The king of the void behemoths, he possesses the natural authority to command the void behemoths and has growth potential that surpasses that of ordinary void behemoths.

Evolution conditions: When unstable evolution occurs more than three times (inclusive), there is a chance to awaken the King's bloodline. The probability will increase with each subsequent successful evolution. After successfully completing nine unstable evolutions, the King's bloodline will definitely be awakened.

All he had to do was continuously evolve through the [Void Body] to naturally evolve into the [Void Behemoth King]. This was quite simple for Melen.

Although each unstable evolution has only a very small probability of success, with the protection of spiritual energy, Melen believes that he can raise this "extremely small" to 100%!

Then all that remains to be done is to find enough food for the Void Dog!

Chapter 458 Exploring the Shallow Area of the Endless Void

Sailing in the endless void is dull and tedious because it is so lonely and empty.

After the biological battleship was transformed, Melen couldn't wait to take his dogs and set off for the endless void.

It is also very simple to enter the endless void. You just need to keep moving in the opposite direction of the spiritual world and the material world.

After entering the endless void, Melen could clearly feel that the Void Dog not only became more active, but was also constantly absorbing a certain substance unique to the endless void to replenish itself and meet the needs of evolution.

Of course, if we only rely on this method to absorb void matter, it will take at least hundreds of years to evolve, and after success, the demand for the next evolution will definitely be greater.

A week had passed since they set out, but they had encountered nothing. Melen had also changed from being curious at the beginning to concentrating on weaving rules. This was the norm in the endless void.

Because of the "Hunting God" operation of the Council of Beasts, Melen set a maximum exploration time of three months for himself: one month to go deep into the endless void, one month for exploration and searching, and the last month for returning.

The biological battleship uses a space shuttle ability when sailing. According to the description in [Leviathan (Battleship Form)], this is a unique ability of a certain void life form, and it has been modified and optimized at the genetic level to create an engine module.

After Xiaoyin's secondary optimization, it can reach 280 times the speed of light at the expense of some defensive capabilities.

Mellen was lying flat on the soft flesh pad, concentrating on weaving in regular patterns. The flesh pad was constantly vibrating in a regular pattern, which could completely relax the body.

You know what, once you get used to this setting, it's quite exciting.
