Those who face the wall, but are in the Nascent Soul stage.

Chapter 425 Fierce Battle!!
The arrival of the carbon-based Federation warships has subtly changed the situation.

Beside Lan was a child, Xiao Qing.

After thinking for a while, Luo Qing flew to Lan's side while Li Bai was negotiating with the mirror, intending to have a chat with Lan.

Xiaoqing deliberately turned her head away from him.

Haha, little brat.

Luo Qing didn't want to pay attention to it at first, but he suddenly noticed that Xiao Qing was also emanating an aura that he couldn't figure out, and the energy level was also extremely high, even somewhat like Li Bai, which made him take a few more glances.

Is it...

Feeling the gazes being focused on her, Xiaoqing gradually revealed a hopeful expression.

But Luo Qing only glanced at her a few more times. By the time Xiao Qing turned her head away, Luo Qing had already looked away.

Xiao Qing pursed her lips and remained silent.

He was unwilling to have too many karmic consequences with this copy of the evil Qing.

Arriving beside Lan, Luo Qing pointed to the nine gods facing off below and asked Lan many questions.

Lan used the intelligent field to explain the differences and types of energy gods, material gods, and rule gods to Luo Qing in a short time, which increased Luo Qing's general knowledge about gods.

“Your Carbon-Based Federation really knows God quite well.”

Lan: "We have the legacy left by God's civilization, as well as all the information about God's becoming God."

Luo Qing pointed to the child beside him and asked, "What's wrong with him? I feel like he's got some kind of energy god vibe about him."

Lan smiled and reached out to pat Xiao Qing's head.

"He is an important asset of the Federation, a possible path, a new existence different from the Energy God, the Material God, and the Rule God, and also the technological achievement that the gods failed to achieve back then. If the technical difficulties in Xiao Qing's body can be overcome, then the Carbon-Based Federation will have a low-cost way to ascend... Although it is still impossible for the entire population to ascend, at least they can stand on equal footing with the gods."

Luo Qing suddenly realized, and his divine sense swept over Xiao Qing inside and out.

Xiao Qing looked almost exactly like Luo Qing in his childhood. Soon, under the scan of his divine sense, Luo Qing saw some special things on this clone.

A 'quark nascent soul' sat upright within Xiao Qing's dantian. In addition, controllable energy flowed through Xiao Qing's limbs and bones, just like spiritual energy circulated in her meridians.

The last scan only showed a fake Nascent Soul, but now even fake meridians have appeared.

It should be noted that Luo Qing never participated in the Carbon-Based Federation's "transformation" of Xiao Qing; this was something the Carbon-Based Federation figured out on its own.

It seems that the carbon-based federation has made considerable technological progress during this period.

Lan: "Xiao Qing is still a long way from becoming a god, but its combat power is much stronger than when it was first born. Our carbon-based federation has actually mastered dozens of ways to construct high-dimensional energy bodies to become gods. The reason why the federation gave up becoming a god is because the ideal has not yet been realized."

Luo Qing was filled with admiration.

Luo Qing asked, "What are you doing here now? It's not really for something as trivial as punishing the Trisolaran world, is it? And aren't you afraid that if a fight breaks out, your mothership will be blown away by these gods?"

Lan: "The Carbon-Based Federation is not as weak as you think. It's just that too many hidden gods have turned the Milky Way into a battleground, so we have to act cautiously."

Lan: "And didn't you notice that these Black Forest Gods are unwilling to retreat?"

Blue: "The remnants of the silicon-based empire are still launching a fierce attack; at least 600,000 warships are carrying out a suicidal offensive against the starless isolation zone."

Blue: "The news about the will of the stars has been relayed back to us by God on the front lines. It's good that you were able to defeat the will of the stars, but this is just the beginning. God says that you have angered what is behind the will of the stars."

Lan: "According to the standard cosmological model and observations from the carbon-based federation, dark energy accounts for about 68% of the total mass-energy of the universe. Dark matter accounts for about 27%, and the remaining ordinary matter accounts for only about 5%."

Blue: "19 to 1, that's the overall strength comparison."

Blue: "More and more Gods are entangled with the God of the Dark Forest. Now, only the Risk Takers and Zeroers are left on the front line to besiege it. But without the restraint of Gods, it has freed up some of its energy to focus on you."

Blue: "Prepare for the storm, the Carbon-Based Federation stands with you."

Luo Qing became increasingly alarmed as he listened.

...

At this moment, the mirror and Li Bai are still conversing.

These two equally renowned gods of art naturally knew each other, but their relationship was limited to mere acquaintance. After all, most gods were solitary beings, rarely communicating even with their own kind, let alone with other gods.

Moreover, God only cares about His own career and doesn't care about the art of others. Even when Luo Qing first beat up the will of the stars, causing three great cosmic string vibrations, no God in the Milky Way came to watch the spectacle.

This reveals a glimpse into God's nature.

"poetry?"

"I've changed my name. Call me Li Bai."

A question mark appeared on the huge mirror.

"Did you kill the Star God?"

"yes?"

"You can kill a god?"

"It's a piece of cake."

"Can you kill me too?"

"It's a piece of cake."

This conversation made the mirror somewhat wary. Li Bai and the mirror continued their tentative exchanges for a long time, but they were never able to establish trust.

This ineffective communication was quickly stopped by Lan's voice. "Li Bai, the mirror is an ally invited by our Carbon-Based Federation, and the Absolute Rigid Body and Mr. Pentahedron are also good friends of the Carbon-Based Federation. If there is no misunderstanding, I think we should be on the same side."

Even so, the mirror remained cautious and hesitated to fall from the sky.

Such is how interactions between gods have always been, especially with the existence of the god of the Black Forest; establishing trust between gods is a very difficult matter.

The Bright Ocean is built on the premise that "murder" is rare between gods. Now, Li Bai has demonstrated the power to easily kill an energy god, which undoubtedly undermines the foundation of trust in this Bright Ocean society.

Luo Qing composed himself and bowed respectfully to the mirror in the sky, as if to say hello.

Lan knew what the mirror was worried about. His intelligent field expanded rapidly through the carbon-based Federation warship behind him, quickly covering the entire Trisolaran system. This efficient communication linked Li Bai and the mirror, dispelling any possible chain of suspicion between them.

Only after the chain of suspicion disappeared did the mirror finally fall down.

The mirror referenced the human figures of Luo Qing, Li Bai, Lan, and Xiao Qing, and transformed itself into a human, albeit a human with a completely mirrored surface, making it appear quite smooth.

The regular pentahedron also adapted to local customs, transforming into a human shape, becoming a geometric human form composed of countless small pentagons.

Suddenly, six human-like beings appeared in the sky above the Trisolaran world.

The Trisolarans' anxiety completely died.

Only an absolutely rigid body remains, unable to shrink or deform, and can only float in the sky.

That's perfect, the gods just need a platform to stand on.

They all stood neatly on the body of the absolutely rigid body.

Absolute Rigid Body: "..."

The Black Forest Gods followed suit and stood together atop Quark Star.

Quark Star hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.

Luo Qing, Li Bai, and the three gods of the mirror joined forces, forming a group of five deities who were clearly from the Light Ocean faction. Lan then flew back to the mothership with Xiao Qing, creating a stark contrast with the five Dark Forest gods led by Quark Star.

The two sides are facing off from a distance.

Five gods against five gods, who's afraid of whom?

As for the colossal ship in the sky, the five Black Forest gods paid it no heed.

"It's really strange that these cowardly Black Forest Gods, despite being at a clear disadvantage, didn't retreat at all; they were even prepared for battle."

The behavior of the five Black Forest Gods puzzled Mirror, Li Bai, and other Light Sea Gods who knew the habits of the pseudo-Black Forest Gods.

"You have fifteen seconds to call for reinforcements," Li Bai announced loudly.

The Black Forest gods remained unmoved.

Fifteen seconds passed, and no more Black Forest Gods arrived at the battlefield.

"Looks like we can't shake out any more people." Li Bai sneered, and his immortal sword flew out of his hand, piercing straight into the depths of the universe. Then it spun around from top to bottom, drawing a circle with a radius of 10,000 astronomical units.

Within this range, the eleventh dimension has been completely locked, and the speed of light has been forcibly restricted within this space. No god can escape at the speed of eleventh-dimensional light.

This was also one of the methods Luo Qing had previously discussed with Li Bai to prevent the five gods of the Dark Forest from escaping.

Those present were all intelligent geniuses. The mirror also played a trick on the strings, working with Li Bai to block the speed of light in this area, keeping it constant at the three-dimensional speed of light, which could not be exceeded.

Then the regular pentahedron also made its move, rising up with almost infinite planar geometry to act as a barrier for this light-speed arena, thus enclosing this space as well.

Then, the five gods belonging to the Light Ocean faction looked at the five gods of the completely silent Dark Forest faction.

"Really not leaving?" Having regained his Immortal Sword, Li Bai was genuinely confused.

The leader, Heisen, remained silent, only staring at Li Bai with a gloomy expression.

"It's like the sun has risen in the west... Oh no, this is Trisolaris, so it's possible the sun has risen in the south." Li Bai chuckled, his feet floating off the Absolute Rigid Body, drifting at an extremely slow speed toward the side of the gods in the Dark Forest.

Although the movements were extremely slow, all five Black Forest Gods felt an intense sense of oppression.

The four gods on Quark Star's head fell off, and it greeted Li Bai alone.

Of all these things, only this one could stop Li Bai.

The pentahedron looked at the rigid body, which in turn looked at the mirror, the implication being clear: "Shall we fight?"

The mirror's voice was as clear and crisp as music: "Hit."

The absolutely rigid body vanished from its original spot in an instant, crashing into the quark star at the standard vacuum speed of light.

A distinct square cavity suddenly appeared on the quark star, which was tens of thousands of meters in diameter... This was clearly not caused by an absolutely rigid body hitting it—because the absolutely rigid body passed right through the cavity!

It's a void that Quark Star actively created! Knowing it couldn't possibly crash into an absolutely rigid body, it simply transformed into the shape of an absolutely rigid body, possessing the ability to traverse eleven-dimensional channels. Freely manipulating quarks to deform is incredibly easy for it.

The rigid body braked suddenly, and a rough voice burst out with a curse: "If you've got the guts, don't dodge."

"Fool."

The absolutely rigid body repeatedly crashed into it, but the Quark Star kept forming cavities that allowed the absolutely rigid body to pass through continuously. In the end, it even managed to reassemble into the shape of a human and showed a mocking expression to the absolutely rigid body. But then it suddenly noticed that a human was also flying in front of it at the speed of light.

It's Luo Qing.

Quark Star revealed a contemptuous smile again.

Luo Qing also revealed a gentle smile, and then threw a serious punch at it.
