From the Abyss Invasion to the Blasting Star.

"Because of your special abilities, there are some things that only you can do," the glowing sea urchin said, uttering a profound statement.

Lu Heng wanted to ask what it was about, but received no answer.

The glowing sea urchin continued, "I need you to enhance your divine power and ascend to the highest divine rank so that other divine beings will listen to you."

Lu Heng felt this goal was a bit far off and asked doubtfully, "It won't be easy, will it? It'll probably take a long time."

Glowing Sea Urchin: "It will take some time, but compared to the repeated time scale of the Demon God Battlefield, it's not long. The method is also very simple: endlessly plunder the divine power of the Abyss Demon God. As long as you don't die, you will eventually ascend to the highest god rank."

Lu Heng was taken aback for a moment: "You make it sound so simple. Now those Abyss Demons have banded together and will never act alone. The few times they were alone, they were all traps."

"Even with the combined power of four gods, I still couldn't break the deadlock. Even if you're willing to help, it will be difficult to pose a threat to the Abyss Demon God."

The Demon God Battle has been deadlocked for almost three months, with no clear winner.

Even if glowing sea urchins joined the battle, it wouldn't change the situation.

He might even become a target of attacks from god-level powerhouses in his own faction.

The glowing sea urchin let out a loud laugh on a spiritual level, reminding everyone: "In the Demon God Battlefield, these Abyss Demon Gods are indeed not alone, but once they return to their ruling world, they will all be alone."

Lu Heng paused for a moment, then frowned and said, "Once they return to the Sovereign World, protected by their own laws, there won't be any way to deal with them, right?"

From the perspective of the rules of the world.

Even if Lu Heng can command four god-level beings to act together, his divine power will be suppressed to the level of a demigod when he enters the world ruled by the Abyss Demon God.

It's equivalent to four demigods going to their deaths in the world ruled by the abyss demon god.

The glowing sea urchin didn't explain the problem, but instead said, "Since I've proposed this plan, I'll naturally find a way. This Demon God Battlefield definitely won't produce any results. I'll contact you again after it's over."

After saying this, the light began to shrink and finally disappeared.

Lu Heng wasn't sure what method he was referring to, but based on the current contact, the glowing sea urchin seemed credible.

If the goal is simply to set traps and plunder divine power, going through such a long and complicated process seems a bit too much trouble.

However, Lu Heng will remain vigilant.

This time, when I met the glowing sea urchin, I used a clone.

The other party probably noticed this as well, but didn't point it out.

Using a clone is perfectly normal when you don't know how dangerous the other party is.

After the conversation ended, Lu Heng opened the star gate and withdrew his clone.

Just as the glowing sea urchin said, it will be difficult to achieve a result in this Abyss Battlefield.

Lu Heng tried to communicate with other god-level beings in the same faction, hoping to join forces, but the result was not ideal.

Without a foundation of trust, most god-level beings are unwilling to reveal their true forms, let alone join forces.

Three months later, the Demon God Battlefield ended.

The Abyss Demons began to leave the Chaos Sea one after another, and their whereabouts could not be tracked.

……

Lu Heng returned to Blue Star and began to review the information he had heard from the glowing sea urchin.

Then record this information and hand it over to Qi Jinghui, who will then store it in the Abyss's top-secret archives and entrust it to human think tanks for research and analysis.

The analysis suggests that the information revealed by the bioluminescent sea urchin is highly credible, based on its behavioral logic.

However, this credibility is based on the bioluminescent sea urchin's own perception. If its perception is wrong, then the information it reveals will naturally be incorrect.

Of all this information, there was one thing Lu Heng didn't record: the glowing sea urchin's statement that it was preparing to attack the space barrier again.

Lu Heng did not record this information, partly because he was worried that the summoned will might discover this secret in advance, leading to unknown consequences.

Secondly, this matter has not yet occurred; Lu Heng has not yet decided to help him and is still in the consideration stage.

Because the nature of this matter is very special.

The Abyss's goal is to break down the spatial barrier of the Naaru's ascended civilization and open the Black Box.

The purpose of summoning wills is to protect the spatial barrier and prevent the abyss from falling.

The tasks that the glowing sea urchins are trying to accomplish are essentially the same as the goals of the abyss.

Even if the glowing sea urchin is not an abyssal demon, it has already stood on the opposite side of the summoning will.

For so long, in Lu Heng's understanding, the Abyss was the enemy camp, while the Will of Conscription was the ally camp.

Assisting the glowing sea urchin is tantamount to standing in opposition to the will of the summoner.

Lu Heng did want to see the truth on the other side of the spatial barrier, but was it right to do the same thing as the Abyss for this purpose?
When the truth about the abyss and the will to summon is clearly seen, the boundary between right and wrong has become somewhat blurred.

Is it right to conscript the will of the people?
From the perspective of human civilization, the act of summoning wills to help humanity fight against the abyss seems to be just.

But is that really the truth?

The purpose of summoning wills is not to save humanity, but to require the power of intelligent races to fight against the Abyss and prevent it from destroying the spatial barrier of the Chaos Sea.

Essentially, humanity, like other civilizations, is a pawn used by the summoned will to stop the abyss. After learning the truth, Lu Heng did indeed develop a resistance to the summoned will.

Because the act of summoning wills is to protect that spatial barrier, to protect the so-called Naaru ascended civilization.

However, this struggle lasted for countless years, and the Naaru Ascended Civilization never appeared, nor did it provide any information.

Whether human, elf, or any other race, in this struggle, they are merely small pawns.

As a pawn, it doesn't even deserve a response from the civilization behind the will to summon it.

Now, a chess piece has a clear view of the entire chessboard and looks up to try and see who is playing, but the sky is blocked by a spatial barrier.

Lu Heng is this chess piece; only by breaking through this spatial barrier can one see clearly who is playing the game.

In this situation, how could one resist trying it?

With this question in mind, Lu Heng saw the glowing sea urchin again.

Glowing sea urchins appeared in the outer space of the blue planet.

Lu Heng received the information from the law and came to the outer space to meet him face to face.

Neither of them spoke first.

This time, Lu Heng appeared in his true form, and he could sense that the other party was also in their true form.

"Have you thought about it?"

After a long while, the glowing sea urchin asked this question.

Lu Heng slowly shook his head: "Not yet."

The glowing sea urchin wasn't surprised by this answer, as he had gone through the same mental struggle.

He rose from a weak being to a god-like existence, gradually seeing the truth about the abyss and the will to summon, and finally changed his mind, breaking through the spatial barrier.

The entire process involved countless deliberations, and the decision to attack the spatial barrier was even changed many times.

In the end, he still went down this path and became a traitor under the judgment of the will of conscription.

At this point, he had no way out, but Lu Heng still had one.

Because he had gone through the same internal struggle, he was able to understand Lu Heng's current thoughts.

The two sides remained silent for a long time.

The glowing sea urchin spoke again: "I've been through everything you've been through."

"I won't force you to make a choice, but I assure you that the information I tell you is the truth within my understanding."

"You just need to figure out whether you want to be a pawn in the conscription of wills to protect the Naaru Ascension Civilization that has never existed before?"
"Let's overturn this game and at least get the player behind the spatial barrier to give a proper response."

Lu Heng had to admit that what he said was also what he himself was thinking.

However, once you take that step, there's no turning back.

Moreover, this is not just a matter for one person alone; it will also implicate teammates and may even affect the entire human civilization.

The glowing sea urchin continued, "Actually, what I want is the truth behind the spatial barrier, or even just a response from the Naaru ascended civilization."

"Even if the Naaru ascended civilization said that the summoning of wills was their doing, hoping that I would help them defeat the abyss."

"With just such a simple response, I would fight against the abyss without hesitation."

"But the truth is, there wasn't a single response. That so-called Naru Ascended Civilization was so arrogant that it couldn't even see our existence."

"Even though I broke through the spatial barrier and was judged as a traitor by the summoned will, I didn't receive a single response throughout the entire process."

He paused, his words already tinged with emotion: "I only need one response, even if it costs me everything, I want to see clearly who is playing chess behind the spatial barrier."

“I’m not forcing you to make any choice, but I want to tell you that this is my will, and even if it’s not you, I will find someone else.”

Lu Heng has been considering this problem for some time and has thought of all the possibilities.

Lu Heng pondered for a moment and asked, "You said you would help me ascend to the highest divine rank, is that true?"

Glowing sea urchin: "Of course, you can only help me if you ascend to the highest divine level."

Lu Heng then asked, "What if I change my mind after I ascend to the Supreme God rank?"

Glowing sea urchin: "Then I misjudged you. There's nothing more to say. I will lie low again and watch how you fight against the abyss."

Lu Heng asked again, "So, even if I might change my mind, you will still help me ascend to the highest godhood?"

Glowing sea urchin: "Yes, I don't mind if you change your mind. Consider it as me making the strongest move in this game."

Lu Heng said calmly, "I'll be frank with you, I haven't made a decision yet. If you feel that a cooperation cannot be reached, you can leave."

Glowing sea urchin: "I don't need you to make a decision now. I believe you are not the kind of pawn who is willing to be manipulated. If you are ready now, come with me, and I will send you to the highest godhood."
