Reincarnation Paradise: The Crucible

Spiritual space, island in the lake.

After the initial sense of novelty passed, the queen quickly regained her composure and began to ask Xu Yue about the details of this spiritual space.

"What exactly is this gray fog on the outside? It gives me a very bad feeling."

"That's the border."

"boundary?"

"Yes, an untouchable, unreachable boundary."

"Before explaining this, I must first understand the principle of the birth of mental space. It is not the brain space or the spiritual world in the conventional sense, but something more complex and essential."

“It is a reflection of the real world, an expression of the essence of the soul, and a creation of spiritual thinking. Everything here is inseparable from our memory, cognition, emotions, current situation and other aspects, and is a collection of deep subconscious minds. "

"If we describe it concretely according to the theory of building a house, the soul is the foundation and carrier, the spiritual power is the bricks and consumables, and the projection of the real world is the initial drawing to build it all."

"In terms of simple division, this spiritual space can be roughly divided into three parts: order, disorder and connection."

With that said, Xu Yue scanned the various scenes in the space in detail before continuing to explain.

"First of all, the island that carries our spiritual body, together with its external sea area, are all orderly parts of the spiritual space that are dominated by reason. They just have different symbolic meanings, so they can all be touched, changed, and displayed. So true because it represents the orderly and controllable aspect of thinking.”

As soon as Xu Yue finished speaking, the ant queen had already begun the experiment. As her thoughts turned, a small mountain rose rapidly beside her. Then the mountain continued to rise, and the giant tortoise carrying the mountain broke free from the ground.

The giant turtle stepped on the ground with all four legs, raised its head and hissed. The air waves caused by the roar suddenly expanded, causing ripples on the green land under its feet. Xu Yue's clothes also rustled under the hurricane.

The next second, the giant turtle disintegrated into male ants that flapped their membrane wings and flew up and down all over the sky, eventually turning into countless white light spots that scattered down.

The queen ant, maintaining a normal human form, stood in the scattered starlight, her eyebrows slightly raised.

"It is roughly similar to the construction method of illusion, but it is more real, and permanent solidification should not be a problem. The only flaw is that it consumes a lot of money and puts a heavier mental load on it, especially the creation of living creatures. The rest of the difficulty is average. …”

Listening to the ant queen's muttering, Xu Yue's eyelids twitched. Even though he could barely do this move just now, the level of detail and fluency would be greatly reduced compared with it. The queen ant is just now coming into contact with the psychic space.

However, after thinking about the memory inheritance of the other party for more than thirty generations, as well as the superb mental illusion, it is not difficult to understand why he is so proficient. Compared with the long time of the ant queen, his ability to touch the psychic system is not more than ten times. One year.

After getting rid of the unnecessary distractions in his mind, Xu Yue coughed lightly, and after attracting the queen's attention again, he continued:

"Outside of the ordered rational part, that is, the gray mist at the outermost edge of space, they are representatives of the disordered part of thinking. They are composed of countless mixed and disordered thoughts and thoughts, and will instinctively swallow up any rational part. Thought constructs.”

"They are like a pool of muddy water covered with dust and dirt that will never settle calmly. Any clear water mixed in will be quickly polluted and assimilated, so they are the boundaries of reason. Staying away is my only suggestion. If you can, weave your own spiritual dam as soon as possible. This is a necessary process..."

While listening, a flying male ant crossed the boundary under the control of the queen and invaded into the gray mist. In just a short moment, the male ant exploded and disintegrated into the misty mist and disappeared without a trace.

Glancing at the queen ant whose expression changed slightly, Xu Yue didn't make any comment. He just moved his gaze upwards and looked at the bright sun on the dome and the blue starry sky behind.

"Next is the most important connection, which is also the main channel for the spiritual space to exert its effect on the outside. In the gorgeous sea of ​​stars above the head, if there is no miscalculation, each blue star in it represents the mental body of an ant tribe. As long as they are your descendants, they must be within the scope of the sea of ​​stars."

"Through the sea of ​​​​stars, you can have a deeper connection and control over your offspring. If necessary, you can even forcibly open up the spiritual space corresponding to your offspring through this connection, and complete the occupation through transformation and grafting."

"Under the absolute suppression of bloodline, this series of operations should not be difficult for you. Of course, this is just an estimate. Although the principle is not bad, the specific operation will definitely not be that simple. Everything else is I can only rely on Your Majesty to figure it out on your own, after all, I have never actually carried out such an operation."

"It's enough. I can feel the call of blood on every star. This space is a power that is truly close to the essence of the soul. I can see 'spiritual communication', 'spiritual illusion', and 'spiritual network' from it." The working principle of all psychic abilities is really incredible..."

As she spoke, the ant queen looked up at the vast starry sky on the dome, her eyes full of confusion. It was a kind of supreme satisfaction as if she had seen the truth.

After a long time, she broke away from that longing state and looked sideways at the more conspicuous bright sun in the sky. She asked with some doubts:

"If the sea of ​​stars is a connection, then what is this sun?"

"Everything in the spiritual space has its own unique symbolic meaning, and different unique changes will occur for different individuals. This sun is obviously unique to Mianxia. In terms of its essence, it is very likely that it is that It has been transformed into spiritual memories that have been passed down for more than thirty generations.”

Also looking up at the bright sun, Xu Yue guessed with some uncertainty that after all, there was no such thing in his spiritual space.

At her side, after hearing Xu Yue's reply, the ant queen nodded slightly to express her approval, and then turned her head to look at this human ally who was constantly refreshing her knowledge, her tone of voice was particularly sincere.

"I have to say, Your Excellency Xinhuo, you have brought me a big surprise. From this moment on, you have won the highest friendship of the ant tribe. All the people of our tribe will follow your footsteps and carry out the extreme task together." Arrogant plan to kill gods, no matter the sacrifice."

The camps of the Bee and Yu tribes.

………

As soon as the ant queen finished speaking, a large number of paradise prompts appeared immediately. His eyes scanned the mission information marked in the prompts. Xu Yue's eyes flashed. He had already expected that the hidden mission would be activated. With Poseidon's strength and background It seems that once this task is completed, the benefits will be beyond imagination.

After all, according to the normal comparison of combat power, all the trialists on the island combined are probably not enough to defeat Poseidon with one hand. The strength gap is too great. If Xu Yue hadn't taken the initiative to dig out, this task would not have been delegated to Poseidon. Trialist.

As for the camp choices required in the mission, there are only two choices. One is to cooperate and win-win like the ants, and the other is to forcibly subdue them and serve as cannon fodder. If you want to kill the gods, the power of the ants alone is far from enough. Just the guard lake outside the temple is enough to consume the ants to pieces.

"Very good, then it's time to discuss how to deal with the sleeping Poseidon, Your Majesty the Queen Ant."

"Of course, we have plenty of time."

…………

Outside, the Ant Nest Hall.

As the big and small eyes opened, Xu Yue withdrew his right hand that was still attached to the queen's forehead, flapped his wings and flew from the throne to the center of the hall.

You Lin's combat boots landed on the ground, and he looked up at the giant white jade statue above. He was used to seeing the human form of the ant queen in the spiritual space. Now that he saw the real body again, he was a little uncomfortable for a while.

The wings disappeared from his back, Xu Yue recalled the strategic plan he had made in his spiritual space not long ago, and said in a deep voice:

"My queen, are you sure that as long as you capture the queen, you can completely capture her mind?"

The queen ant on the throne raised the corner of her mouth, her slightly narrowed eyes full of malice.

"Don't worry, I started researching on the manipulation of the Queen's mind as early as the 22nd Queen. Before the mind space was opened, my success rate was only about 80%, but now it is absolutely guaranteed to be foolproof."

"The guard lake outside the temple is not so easy to clean. We must unite the power of the three tribes. I will lobby for the Feather Tribe. As long as they are not dealing with the Seagod directly, they will agree. However, cooperation between the two sides of the Bee Tribe and the Rat is absolutely impossible. Only by capturing the queen bee can we fully control the entire bee clan."

"Your fire ability and psychic protection ability are absolute restraints on the bee clan. As long as you seize the opportunity, it is entirely possible to capture the queen bee alive. I have informed the entire clan that you will officially become the general of the ant clan and can command and dispatch the ant clan. of all individuals.”

"There are still five days before the Poseidon's Disaster. We must deal with the bees within three days, and then we can launch a general attack on the central temple."

The Queen Ant's words echoed in the hall for a long time. After Xu Yue closed his eyes and thought for a moment, he finally nodded in agreement.

"Okay, within three days, I will bring the queen back to the ant nest."

Regarding the argument that the bees cannot cooperate, this must contain a lot of selfishness from the queen ant. He knows it very well, but he doesn't care. He is actually more inclined to conquer than to cooperate with the bees.

Not to mention the difficulty in reconciling the feud between the bee and ant tribes, just saying that the bee legion that was almost wiped out by him not long ago has basically cut off the possibility of cooperation between the two parties, and he can use the bee tribe's 'overclocking vision' to Never forget that there is no possibility of learning this ability, and the only way is to explode it.

Now with the ant tribe's intelligence and military support, he was completely sure of catching the queen alive by surprise.

"Your Majesty, Queen Ant, don't forget the reward you just promised. I will start preparing to deal with the bees tomorrow morning."

After saying that, Xu Yue turned around and walked towards the door, and the Queen Ant's slightly smiling tone was also heard from behind.

"Don't worry, Your Excellency, your ally, we are all prosperous now, so we won't be careless. The crystals and high-quality metals will be delivered soon. You can arrange the ant honey at will. As for the 'spiritual communication', I will send it to you within three days." It will be transformed into a version based on the spiritual space, and then even if you are a human, you can use it flexibly."

"You can just deal with the Bee Clan with peace of mind. I will send Xuan Jun as your adjutant. The overall strength of the Bee Clan cannot be underestimated, so don't take it lightly."

"The next time we meet, the queen will be seen under her crown."

As soon as he finished speaking, the stone door in front of him slowly opened. With a loud creaking sound, Xu Yue stepped out and faced the male ant Xinghai who had been waiting here for a long time.

"Your Highness the General, all the materials you need are ready."

"Just send them to my room together."

"yes!"

…………

Behind him, as the stone door closed again, the sound of conversation was also isolated.

In the silence on one side, the queen ant in the hall was lying on the throne, slowly closing her eyes, seemingly falling into a deep sleep.

At the same time, somewhere in the stone chamber of the ant nest, a female ant's eyes suddenly opened, her eyes shone with light, but inside she was shining with a spiritual light that did not belong to her, that was the light of the queen ant.

Looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar hands in front of her, her eyes revealed extremely blazing ambition.

"As long as the Poseidon is solved, the ant tribe will have a new and infinite future. I will become the greatest ant queen, a god who only belongs to the ant tribe..."

"at all costs!"

…………

After more than ten minutes of walking in the ant nest, Xu Yue returned to the room where he lived before. After wiping away the overly enthusiastic punishment, he closed the stone door and turned around to see that the room now was much more spacious than it was a few hours ago. A lot of items were released.

The stone table is filled with sparkling colorless crystals. Next to it are two huge snakeskin water bags and a black token the size of a fist. In the corner of the room, they are neatly stacked and occupy less than half of the room. Hills of metal ingots in space.

"Tsk, that's quite generous."

Scanning these extra things one by one, Xu Yue clicked his tongue and quickly stepped forward to check.

The first is the most valuable soul crystal. After counting carefully, there are ten of them, and they are all soul crystals (middle). If it is just the merit of burning the bee tide army, it will definitely not be worth such a large number. Most of them are the goodwill shown by the ant queen. When it comes to treating their allies, the ants really spare no effort.

Of course, with the hundreds of years of history passed down by the Ant Clan, the number of soul crystals in the warehouse must be more than this. However, the relationship between Xu Yue and the Ant Clan is just cooperation, not vassalage. Naturally, the other party cannot give away all of them. he.

The real big deal is still with the bee clan. As long as the queen bee is successfully captured alive within three days, then it will be time to plunder. The ant clan only needs the queen bee. As for other items, Xu Yue can choose at will.

Stifling the greed that surged in his heart, he looked at the crystal stones piled up on the table. The size of ten soul crystals (middle) would definitely not be accommodated by his small pocket. After thinking about it, he once again put the magic crystals into his hands. After taking out the mirror and activating the connection, he threw the crystal worth one million paradise coins together with the water bag on the table.

"The water bag contains ant honey that can strengthen your body and health. Drink it before the trial ends and keep the soul crystals properly."

"Afu obeys, sir!"

After hearing the reply from the magic mirror, Xu Yue gave a few more instructions before stopping the flow of mana and put the magic mirror back into its original form back into his pocket.

So far, Ah Fu's backpack has been filled with treasure chests, equipment, soul crystals and other high-quality items, which are worth even more than one million paradise coins. If he loses it, he will die, and he cannot tolerate it without reminding him several times. .

After handling the soul crystal, Xu Yue picked up the huge water bag nearly half a meter long beside him and took a sip. Listening to the [Health Points Permanent +4] ​​prompt ringing in his ears, he lowered his eyes and looked at the black token on the table.
