An invasion from the Abyss? I, a demonic cultivator, laughed.

Chapter 430 Abyss Space
Darkness, silence, emptiness; all senses are shut down, unable to perceive a single piece of information, as if floating in a pitch-black, soundproof, and boundless cage.

This emptiness gave him a very familiar feeling, like the Yuancheng without any information flow.

"This is a higher dimension?"

Here, Chu Xiu completely lost all his senses; he could not perceive any information!
Then a thought suddenly flashed through his mind.

"Abyss, abyss, isn't this place just like the abyss? Am I currently in the heart of the abyss?"

Before he could think any further, a sharp pain suddenly shot through his consciousness, as if an extremely sharp knife had sliced ​​through his soul!
"Space turbulence!"

Chu Xiu instantly recalled what the extraterrestrial demon had said: in higher-dimensional spaces, there exist extremely terrifying spatial turbulence, which only a very few high-dimensional beings and those who are proficient in the laws of space can enter!

Only through firsthand experience did Chu Xiu realize just how terrifying this spatial turbulence was! His consciousness and physical body were incredibly refined, but in the face of this spatial turbulence, it was like a sharp knife slicing through tofu.

Furthermore, Chu Xiu could sense that the spatial turbulence around him was increasing at an alarming rate, which was most likely because the awakening space he was "attached" to was accelerating!

Without the slightest hesitation, Chu Xiu directly withdrew all his consciousness into his body and activated his own awakening space within the star core!

He immediately felt a strange fluctuation spreading rapidly outward from his own space, completely isolating the spatial turbulence.

After the excruciating pain that had torn his soul away completely disappeared, Chu Xiu discovered that the space was not entirely dark, but rather had four small lights. One of them seemed very close to him, while the other three were quite far away.

Could this be...?
Chu Xiu recalled the feeling when the data was still there, and focused his mind on the four points of light. The next moment, a look of ecstasy appeared on his face!

These four points of light are the four anchor points where he had made contact in the abyss!
Furthermore, he could clearly perceive the information transmitted from the light spots, just as he had before they were de-digitized!
"It actually works!"

"Could I say I accidentally stumbled upon a major bug that no one has ever encountered before?"

In fact, by now, Chu Xiu had realized how difficult it was to acquire his "de-datafication" trait.

Before this, he thought that although calamities were rare, the endless universe was vast. How many possibilities would countless civilizations give rise to over billions of years? Therefore, his de-datafication was rare, but it could never be unique.

But now he realizes that things are not that simple.

First and foremost, the most crucial point is that Zed is more effective against higher-level creatures!

Chu Xiu had a guess that this was probably because with each advancement trial, as the rank increased, the degree of one's own [datafication] would also be further enhanced.

The [Calamity] is a powerful weapon created by the Abyss specifically for all living beings. It may even be a kind of [data reset] method, which explains the counterintuitive phenomenon that the higher the level, the stronger the effect.

The transformation of a King into a Heroic Spirit represents the greatest leap in data processing and is also the first stage that brings about a qualitative change, because only after becoming a Heroic Spirit can one possess the ability to sense the rules.

In the normal cultivation process, ancient cultivators would cultivate all the way to the Nascent Soul stage, developing a primordial spirit specifically for sensing the Heavenly Dao before they could begin to comprehend the rules. However, the Awakened Ones have significantly accelerated this process, which is undoubtedly due to the power of the Abyss's [Datafication].

In other words, to withstand the calamity, one must be at the King level!
How many people can be as abnormal as Chu Xiu, who possesses the combat power and basic attributes of a strong demigod at the King level?
Even someone as strong as Chu Xiu still faced numerous dangers during his tribulation and barely managed to survive.

If possessing a body capable of enduring tribulations is difficult enough, then the subsequent trials of the [Trial] are even more insanely difficult!
The seven major rules, plus an identical avatar, make it increasingly difficult for the stronger the original body to successfully overcome the tribulation!

Just as Chu Xiu had guessed, even the few who successfully passed the tribulation did so with the help of treasures specially bestowed by the God King, meaning they passed under the God King's protection.

However, this would inevitably result in extremely poor completion, making it difficult for the body to reach perfection and thus preventing the triggering of the [De-datafication] trait.

Even someone as powerful as Chu Xiu, strictly speaking, cannot be considered to have successfully transcended the tribulation, because he ultimately lost the battle against the tribulation lightning incarnation. The laws of fate were too abnormal, and it would have been impossible to pass without a divine-level treasure to protect him.

If it weren't for the opportunity to learn the Nebula Pill-Making Method later on, he would have been trapped and died on that desolate planet!
However, even with a divine-level treasure, one cannot achieve perfection due to a body lacking experience and trials.
It can be said that the difficulty of possessing the trait of "de-datafication" is incredibly high, which is probably why those god-kings have been unable to find a solution to their research on methods to combat the abyss.

Of course, this is only Blood Pool's one-sided opinion. Blood Pool cannot possibly know all the God-Kings. Perhaps some God-Kings have discovered the secrets of the Abyss and cultivated powerful beings with the [de-datafication] trait.

After all, the universe is too vast, and geniuses are as numerous as carp crossing a river, too many to count. Over the long course of time, any coincidence can happen.

But what is certain is that even if this trait is not unique to him, it is extremely rare!
Suppressing his joy, Chu Xiu chose an anchor point representing the world of corpse demons and focused his mind.

The next instant, Chu Xiu felt the space around him begin to accelerate rapidly. The moment he connected, the Awakening Space was like a rocket that had been ignited, and it began to fly at high speed!
This is exactly the same as the teleportation before de-digitization, the only difference being that Chu Xiu still retains his consciousness, and he can clearly feel the awakening space moving like a cannonball.

This journey did not last long; just three minutes later, the Awakening Space began to slow down.

Chu Xiu could feel that the gleaming anchor point was already very close!
However, just as Chu Xiu was happily preparing to return, the Awakening Space suddenly began to fluctuate violently! The thin membrane that had originally enveloped Chu Xiu in an ellipsoidal shape was now being squeezed and deformed like twisted clay!
"This is?"

Before Chu Xiu could react, a large hole was suddenly torn open in the awakening space that enveloped him! A strange creature rushed in violently at an extremely fast speed!
In the higher-dimensional abyss, all senses became useless, just like the abyss city devoid of any information. Chu Xiu could only rely on his divine sense to barely perceive the changes in space.

The moment Chu Xiu's divine sense made contact with this creature that suddenly barged in, it was cleanly severed, like a spinning top covered in sharp blades!
Chu Xiu was terrified. He quickly mobilized his spiritual power to form spiritual shields in front of him. However, the spiritual power that had been condensed to the extreme could not even last a moment when it came into contact with the strange creature before it was shattered!

The membrane formed by the Awakening Space was less than a meter away from Chu Xiu's body. After the spiritual energy shield shattered, the strange creature was almost touching Chu Xiu's face!
He couldn't just sit and wait to die. With a roar, the Chiwen appeared in front of him to block the attack. At the same time, he unhesitatingly used his strongest technique, the Poison-Stealing Technique!

After being de-datafied, the equipment's attributes are no longer limited to the current rank when Chu Xiu uses it, which means that Chiwen is now a genuine demigod mythical equipment!
Furthermore, it is a demigod mythology characterized by its sturdiness!

However, as a metallic scraping sound came, Chu Xiu felt as if the Chiwen in his hand was being cut like steel, and it might break at any moment!

Fortunately, by then, the poison had already struck the creature!
But the next moment, something happened that left Chu Xiu dumbfounded. The poison that had been invincible before, and whose effect was stronger the stronger the creature it was used against, only made the creature pause for a moment before it had no effect at all!
"What the hell!"

"What exactly is this thing?"

Before he could figure it out, the creature with its rapidly spinning "blade" had already bypassed Chiwen and slashed at Chu Xiu!

Chu Xiu felt a chill in his heart. This strange thing couldn't even withstand the Chiwen. No matter how strong his body was, he would probably be instantly shredded!

However, he quickly let out a soft "Eh."

The expected pain of being cut apart did not come; instead, something happened that he could not understand at all.

The creature's "blade" was stuck inside Chu Xiu's body!

No, it's more accurate to say it's "fused" into the body rather than "stuck" inside, like an indestructible blade suddenly turning into a toy knife made of butter.

Suddenly, the creature that Chu Xiu still didn't know looked like began to struggle wildly, like a wild beast that had fallen into a mud pit!

But something even stranger happened: although every limb of this creature was moving outwards, its body was steadily "sinking" into Chu Xiu's body.

A few minutes later, it was completely swallowed up by Chu Xiu's body and disappeared.

Chu Xiu: "."

No, what's going on?

He scanned his body with his divine sense, but no matter how he examined it, he could not find where the strange creature had gone, nor could he see any changes in his own body.

Chu Xiu was completely numb. Although surviving this ordeal was definitely a good thing, anyone would be terrified if they suddenly absorbed such a strange thing into their body.

"Currently, there is only one place in my body that my divine sense cannot fully explore."

Star core.

This thing has devoured far too much, even the awakening space is within it, and the secrets it contains are beyond the complete grasp of even Chu Xiu, its creator. "But I can't see any changes in the star core."

Furthermore, in the intelligence reports from Xia and the others, Chu Xiu also asked about the Abyss Space, but in their answers, they did not mention at all that there were any creatures in the Abyss Space!
what on earth is it?

With a sigh, Chu Xiu stopped worrying about it; he figured it out anyway.

He examined the Chiwen and found that although it had suffered some damage, it should be able to be repaired before the final battle.

At this moment, the tear in the Awakening Space had slowly healed. Fearing that staying here might lead to encountering other strange things, Chu Xiu hurriedly headed towards the anchor point.

A few seconds later, Chu Xiu felt the anchor point's attraction suddenly increase, and the next instant, the awakening space rapidly contracted back into the star core, while a large amount of information flooded into his senses.

The dazzling sunlight and lush greenery assaulted my eyes, while the sounds of birdsong and insect chirping filled my ears.

Chu Xiu looked up and saw a blood-red sky.

"came back."

Chu Xiu breathed a long sigh of relief, the heavy weight in his heart finally lifted.

From now on, we can use this method to teleport in the abyss.

Although the previous misfortunes had left a lingering shadow in his mind, he quickly adjusted his mindset and focused his attention on the current main storyline.

"There's less than a month until the appointed day. I wonder how the others are doing with their preparations."

Chu Xiu moved swiftly and soared into the sky, unleashing his divine sense, and quickly located the civilization's base.

In just over five months, the original campsite has undergone significant changes once again.

The activity area has more than doubled, and all kinds of modern large machinery can be seen everywhere, helping the local residents to reclaim farmland and build houses.

Although only two years have passed since Chu Xiu rescued these people, the area has already taken on the initial form of a modern city.

All kinds of shops and restaurants are available, along with early-rising vendors, farmers, and warriors and hunters exploring the outskirts.

Of course, the biggest change is still—

Titan Machine!

At this point, the Titan Machine had completely transformed into a gigantic monster armed to the teeth!

Previously, Chu Xiu had entrusted the government with the modification of this equipment, and naturally, the upgrade blueprints were also provided.

With the additional funds provided by Chu Xiu last time, the government upgraded the Titan to the Heroic Spirit rank in one go, resulting in a qualitative improvement in size, mountain defense, cooling, and information transmission speed.

Those densely packed advanced cannons, once connected to the cooling system inside the Titan machine, will unleash incredible firepower.

With a stronger stabilization and cooling system, the super-heavy electromagnetic railgun at the center of the Titan machine will be significantly more powerful. Although it will still be difficult to deal with high-level powerhouses, it will not be completely powerless in the face of these powerhouses.

The main purpose of Titan Machines is still in low-level combat.

"In the war of civilizations, low-level battles are very important."

With the support of the Civilization Domain, Chu Xiu's combat power will be greatly enhanced, but if the opponent uses a massive Blood Demon army to compress the Civilization Domain, the power of the Civilization Domain will also be reduced.

Chu Xiu had defeated the murderer using this method before.

"In the next period of time, I will finish refining the souls of the calamity-transformed creatures in the Soul Banner, and then repair the Chiwen. I estimate that the strength of the main body will be increased to the extreme."

"Although there are still many causal points, I don't have time to digest them slowly."

Therefore, Chu Xiu will focus on improving the combat capabilities against external forces.

The two most direct tasks are finding a suitable operator for the Titan machine and recruiting people from Earth!
Chu Xiu planned to make two preparations.

First, instead of being frugal, all high-ranking Ancient Remains were dispatched to search for Aurora's soul, while simultaneously plundering a large number of Ancient Remains from the Blue Star market.

With his current strength, he no longer needs to hide the fact that he possesses the ancient altar.

Secondly, try to contact a skilled mechanic.

If you can't find a Heroic Spirit Mechanic, you should at least be a King-rank S-class Mechanic, like Shen Tianxie.

This method actually overlaps with the method used by Earth to recruit people.

Zhao Jie has already provided a very direct solution: join a powerful force.

"It's time to make a choice."

Without further hesitation, Chu Xiu decisively released all the ancient remains, and at the same time contacted Ya Zi to ask him to help collect the ancient remains, and expressed his willingness to join a faction.

Astrid seemed to be following the rules and did not attack Ya Zi. Ya Zi understood immediately after receiving the message and said that he would arrange a private gathering for Chu Xiu, bringing together representatives from various forces.

At that time, Chu Xiu can choose to join the force that best suits his interests.

Chu Xiu readily agreed and expressed his gratitude, as this multi-party gathering would allow him to secure more favorable conditions.

“Then let’s meet in Yuan City in five days,” Ya Zi said.

"No, I want to meet in real life."

Chu Xiu's words startled Ya Zi, even this seasoned veteran showed a surprised expression.

"In reality?"

"What's wrong with you, kid? Have you been possessed? Why did you suddenly change your personality?"

Chu Xiu smiled and said, "I just feel that meeting in person would better showcase my talent and attract their attention compared to meeting in Yuan City."

Upon hearing this, Ya Zi gave Chu Xiu a deep look: "It seems you've made quite a few gains in the past six months."

Chu Xiu remained noncommittal.

Ya Zi didn't say anything more, but readily agreed and said he would invite a powerful person with enough influence to speak for Chu Xiu.

Five days passed quickly as they refined the ghost army, and soon the appointed day arrived.
