Chapter 237 Emergency Communication Device

Senior Olivia plopped down on the floor of the consciousness space, and the emergency communication device in her hand seemed about to be pressed the next moment.

In a panic, she immediately threw out the emergency communication device to prevent it from being triggered. Otherwise, if she accidentally triggered it, she felt she might as well atone with her death.

Fortunately, amidst the chaos, the one-armed Xue Dinglu caught the still-warm emergency communication device, which appeared not to have been triggered.

“Finally saved, junior, you’re really reliable. By the way, your hand…” Olivia immediately noticed the smooth cut at the elbow of Xue’s arm, which was abnormally smooth, as if it had been cut out by space.

"Oh, it's just a severed arm. I'll recover quickly." Xue Dinglu held up his severed arm, with countless streams of blood flowing over it, but no blood spilled out.

The cursed blood immediately controlled the wound and began to regenerate. He really didn't care about this minor injury. After all, even if he really died, his soul would still be hanging on by a thread, waiting for his mother to come and rescue him.

Even if it's difficult to save one's own mother, the world consciousness of Earth might create a parallel world version of itself and then perform a ritual like "Summoning Heroic Spirits" on that parallel world version, allowing it to be reborn.

In short, as long as he doesn't encounter an enemy who completely obliterates his soul, he won't have too many problems.

Olivia then noticed that Xue's severed arm was visibly growing, and seeing that it would grow back in just a few minutes, she breathed a sigh of relief.

She plopped down on the ground and, without any regard for womanly decorum, tore open her clothes and fanned herself.

In such a short time, she was already drenched in sweat.

She never expected to be exposed so abruptly. Damn it, why did this crazy world consciousness update without warning, almost causing her to crash and burn?

If I were to crash and burn here like that guy Lotte, the rest of the team would probably be upset too.

Xue Law: "..."

Girl, you really don't treat him like an outsider?

He turned his head slightly, and the little dragon girl beside him seemed to be seeing such a bold older sister for the first time. So she seemed to want to imitate Olivia's actions and wanted to tear her own away...

"Smack!" A powerful blow landed hard on the little dragon girl's head, causing her to immediately cover her head and burst into tears.

Xue Luding was even afraid that she would learn something bad again, so he used the Undying Grip to lift her by the back of her neck and threw her behind him.

Seeing that there was another little dragon girl besides her junior, Olivia tensed up for a moment, but after looking around, she didn't see the muscular dinosaur ancestor and the shackled wooden dragon behind the little dragon girl, and she breathed a sigh of relief.

"What? I thought she was a real dragon, but she's just a fake dragon like me..." Olivia looked the little dragon girl over and found that apart from resembling a dragon, she had nothing to do with dragons.

Now that she's away from that tense environment, she finally feels a little more relaxed, and her mind starts working, leading her to think about many things.

I don't think I sent any support messages to my juniors, did I? How did he know?
Furthermore, the sacred mountain of the Dragon Clan must have been sealed off by a spatial barrier. Let alone opening a portal, it wouldn't even be possible to use spatial storage or perform simple spatial applications like cutting someone in half at the waist.

How did the younger generation manage to pull her out of the spatially sealed area?
And what about that Tyrannosaurus Rex Stone idiot? Why did he immediately fall into silence and daze after seeing the spatial rift? Are all the dragons in this world so weak, even if they are almost at level 5?
"And that psychotic world consciousness, once we rescue it, we'll definitely extort a hefty sum from it. It didn't even inform me, the undercover agent, about such a big thing. If it weren't for your help, junior, I probably would have either died there or had to use the emergency communication device." She seemed still very angry and slapped the ground of the consciousness space hard.

The sound of the slap echoed throughout the entire space of consciousness.

Xue Law: "..."

"I was actually close to the final step. If it weren't for this crazy world consciousness exposing me, I'd probably be the next Tyrannosaurus God by now. I could do whatever I wanted then, right? Sigh, this damn world consciousness is so unreliable..." she muttered to herself before finally remembering to tuck the emergency communication device into her chest.

Xue Law: "..."

"What's wrong, junior? Why do you look so troubled?" she asked.

"No, I'm just looking at the scenery..." Xue Dinglu turned his head, pretending to look at the scenery in his own consciousness space.

Actually, it was due to a lack of teamwork. Xue Luding was used to working alone. He was aware of the need for intelligence exchange, but after learning that Xiaolongniang was a distress call from the world's consciousness, he immediately forgot that there was a teammate who was infiltrating the world.

Having soloed so many times, I forgot this was a group dungeon.

"But it's not a big problem. The backup plan I left should still give that old dragon a headache for a while. This isn't your fault. Actually, I was just joking. The original plan was to leave before becoming the 'Tyrannosaurus God,' otherwise I was afraid that the ritual to become the Tyrannosaurus God would expose me." She seemed to be comforting Xue Dinglu, and this was something they hadn't thought of.

Xue Law: "..."

It seems this really is his fault...

He was so focused on implementing his own plan that he forgot to communicate. Fortunately, he discovered the mess immediately and quickly used the last vestige of authority in the world to break the spatial blockade and rescue his predecessor. Otherwise, due to his own operational error, an accident might have occurred, and he might have had to unleash a full-power cursed blood attack in this world once again.

So Xue immediately changed the subject, and also because he was genuinely interested in the information his senior had obtained, he asked, "What's the situation with the Dragon Clan right now?"

When it came to serious matters, Olivia also became serious. She said, "Although this world's manipulation of abstraction into reality is suffocating to me, it is undoubtedly a good move. This way, we only need to assist the world's consciousness in defeating the dragons."

"No need to consider any other fancy ideas, or the impact and negative effects on the world, because these impacts and negative effects will manifest as our physical enemies. Just do it! To be able to come up with this method in such an emergency and turn the situation around, it seems that some expert must have given us guidance." The senior sighed, and only then did she button up her vest.

“Uh…” Xue Dinglu hesitated, wanting to say something but stopping himself.

"Alas, the actual situation may be more complicated than we thought. It seems that the dragons want to seize the world's consciousness for the sake of rebellion and revenge. They want to find an opportunity to fight one of the apostles." Immediately afterwards, Senior Olivia's information surprised Xue Lude.

"revenge?"

"Yes, that's actually a very petty and vengeful race. They hold a grudge against the leader who enslaved them, and then tried to remove the slave mark from their bodies, and even fought with their leader. Anyway, that's roughly their plan..." But Olivia's expression darkened, and she immediately added,

“But that’s impossible. If it were a very powerful world consciousness, it would be fine, but this world’s power and consciousness are so weak… This might just be wishful thinking on their part. Even if they fight on their home turf, with the added benefit of a world consciousness, they could at most cause some trouble for that apostle.” Olivia immediately stated her conclusion.
"So, besides bringing more suffering to the world, killing a World Consciousness, and causing death and disaster to the native inhabitants of this world, what they did was utterly useless. Their vision was so narrow; they really thought they could compete with the veteran apostles of the Mist Council just by relying on World Consciousness..."

She kept complaining, while Xue Dinglu was sweating profusely beside her.

He was unaware of this matter, and even if he were unaware, he might have thought of trying to crush a super-5th tier enemy together with the world consciousness.

This may seem unrealistic now, so I need to take good notes to avoid falling into the same trap later.

“So, we just need to follow the plan of this world…” Olivia’s face immediately became more shadowy and filled with onomatopoeia. She said, “We’ll figure out a way to beat up that zombie dragon that symbolizes the theft of the world’s consciousness!”

"Oh right, I'll open a portal and go back to call for reinforcements..." She immediately thought of her next plan. There should be someone stationed at the branch ready to provide support at any time, so as long as she wasn't too unlucky, there would always be troops available to provide support.

As long as we can find someone to help us, everything will be fine.

Xue Dinglu also breathed a sigh of relief.

The senior is too reliable. He can just send people over directly. That way, we don't even need to go through the trouble of flipping the table and risking our lives according to Plan B. We can just wait for the Starfleet to fight together.

However, Olivia's expression changed instantly.

"What's wrong?" Xue Dinglu asked immediately.

“The entire world space has been blocked, not only that, but even communications have been blocked. This is intelligence that the Dragon Clan can only obtain by using their world authority. Apart from the emergency communication device, we seem to have no way to contact the outside world…” She looked at Xue Dinglu like this, and then took the emergency communication device out of her chest again.

"Should I use it?" At this moment, she also began to hesitate.

If it's an emergency and there's no time to think, she might just use it without thinking, and then she'll regret it in the future.

But now, when things aren't so urgent, her hands are trembling, and she has no idea whether this situation qualifies as urgent, or whether she should use it...

This was the first time she had ever hesitated about whether or not to use this thing.

Olivia hesitated for a long time, but in the end she put the communication device into her chest, lacking the courage to use it.

"Senior, why is this emergency communication device so precious? Is it made from materials from the fragments of the Venerable King?" Xue Dinglu asked.

Olivia paused, then smiled: "It is indeed related to the King. The emergency communication device works by connecting to the 'Simulated King' at our headquarters, using the King's abilities to instantly communicate with everyone across space and time and provide coordinates..."

"However, there's a small price to pay to contact the Simulated King..." she said, seemingly embarrassed. "The Simulated King is a virtual world, or you could say our organization's 'pure land' or 'underworld,' where only our predecessors who have completely died are buried..."

"So the principle behind the emergency communication device is that there is a senior consciousness that was originally sleeping or resting in the simulated king. He is willing to help the junior, so they put a part of their consciousness into it."

"Activating the emergency communication device means that this part of the consciousness has been completely extinguished. The Mimic King can sense the extinguished consciousness within 0.001 seconds, without having to traverse the vast universe, and ignoring a series of conditions such as spatial blockade, and immediately send out an emergency distress call to everyone..."

She seemed to laugh awkwardly: "When this plan first came out, 90% of people voted against it, but the senior heroic spirits in the Mimic King overcame all objections and passed the decision."

“They said, ‘The living are definitely more important than us dead.’” She seemed a little embarrassed to tell Xue Dinglu, who was practically an outsider, so she quickly added,
"So we've all decided that we won't use it unless absolutely necessary. But when the time comes, we still have to use it. Just like the seniors said, the living are definitely more important than the dead... At worst, if I unfortunately die in the future and can enter the body of the Mimic King, I'll join the emergency communication device too."

"After all, even after death, one can still bring hope to future generations. Thinking about it this way, the obliteration of a part of one's consciousness is not such a big deal."
