Ironclad, but the dungeon is in Hell difficulty.

Then Yu Tianyi felt a weight in his hand, a rather mysterious-looking seal with a roller on top, which seemed to allow him to switch the pattern below.

【Destiny Seal: A seal that records the power of the Star God. After choosing a destiny, you can stamp a sealing wax seal on your palm to gain a one-time ability and be regarded as a destiny walker of that destiny.

An individual can hold a maximum of one Destiny Sealing Coating at a time. Once the ability of each Destiny Sealing Coating is used, no further Sealing Coating can be obtained within one standard day.

Before he could think any further, everything around him seemed to be enveloped by an endless halo of light, and within the dazzling white light, the purple starry sky was constantly shrinking.

Yu Tianyi felt as if he had seen something beyond common sense, and his current senses were not yet able to process such information.

Fortunately, this seemed to be just a transitional animation from The Mask of Pleasure. Soon, his eyes lit up as the surrounding information came into view as usual.

"it is good!"

The cheers around him brought Yu Tianyi back to his senses. Looking around, he realized that he was experiencing the scene from the perspective of someone in the venue.

This was a sci-fi venue that far exceeded his imagination. The surrounding space was folded and interwoven, and the seemingly small venue contained far more seats than most people could imagine.

As Yu Tianyi's gaze shifted, the information from this scene naturally surfaced in his mind, seemingly inheriting the memories of the characters from this perspective.

"The lecture hall utilizes flexible space technology to superimpose different three-dimensional spaces through a dimension controller, thereby achieving the goal of accommodating more students."

He understood from the content that appeared in his mind that it was a technology similar to the Immortal Boat Grotto, except that the technology presented in this lecture hall was significantly more refined than that of the grotto.

Not only can it create different spaces, but it can also fold and store them together with ease. Such ingenious technology is something that Tianyi has never heard of before.

However, this space has been used in the school's lecture hall, which is clearly not the most cutting-edge technology.

Then, turning his gaze to the podium, Yu Tianyi understood why there were cheers around him; a battle scene was being played on the podium using some kind of 3D virtual reality technology.

Two figures are engaged in a fierce battle in the sky above a planet. The dazzling light and shadow and the deliberately slowed-down collision make it feel like watching an exhilarating movie, which is indeed easy to evoke emotional fluctuations.

"Don't just watch; observe carefully how they use domains and paths in this battle. It will be very enlightening for you."

However, before Tianyi could see the scene he was about to analyze, he felt his surroundings begin to blur at an unimaginable speed, clearly indicating that the effects of the Mask of Pleasure had expired.

"Sigh, I knew this Pleasure Mask was unreliable. It's practically useless."

Looking at the swarm of insects appearing before him, Yu Tianyi knew that he had used up the effects of two temporary events and had officially entered the chapter of the Locust Plague Apocalypse.

"?"

March 7, who was clearly unaware of what had happened, looked at Yu Tianyi with some confusion as he suddenly showed a disappointed expression, and tilted his head.

As usual, she created the Six-Phase Ice to conceal the two figures, while also noticing the peculiar seal in Yu Tianyi's hand.

"This is?"

"It's one of my talents, I guess. It can bring about some unexpected things, but what exactly will happen is beyond my control."

Yu Tianyi explained the general effect of the seal in her hand to March 7, which immediately made her eager to try it out.

"Can you let me try?"

"it is good."

Yu Tianyi naturally did not refuse the request of March 7th, and readily raised the seal in his hand to stamp a sealing wax mark on the other party's fair palm.

March 7th's direct combat ability is not very strong, so he chose the Destruction Path, which is known for its destructive power.

[Destruction Sealing Coating - Cataclysmic Star Change: Consumes a large amount of the user's life force to convert it into a shield that can withstand any type of damage. Attacks while the shield is active will inflict Destruction. (Uses: 0/1)]

"A one-time ability, a disruptive force? March, how does it feel?"

"Well, apart from the electric shock feeling when stamping, there were no other special sensations, but a pattern similar to the sealing wax on my palm appeared in my mind."

It granted me the ability to convert my life force into shields and damage, but it can only be used once.

The account given on March 7th was identical to the information Yu Tianyi had seen.

"Then I'll give this one a try."

He turned the wheel at the top of the seal, selected the symbol of a bountiful destiny, and pressed it into his palm.

【Abundant Sealing Wax - Whether sinful or blessed, bestowing all wishes: When one's own life force is at its maximum, it stores 60% of the overflowing life force each day, which is called 'Dewdrop'.

(Dewdrop: Converts life force into an equivalent amount of damage.)

Yu Tianyi discovered that his destiny-related ability did not have a limit on the number of times it could be used, unlike the destruction of March 7th. Perhaps this ability was a passive effect?

However, while this ability seems powerful and can even help him defeat enemies stronger than himself, it's practically useless for completing the main storyline.

After all, neither reducing the scope of the locust plague nor killing the breeding star god can be done in a short period of time.

"Wait, just because my vitality is weak doesn't mean others are weak. If we cover the star gods of this time and space with this sealing wax, their vitality might be able to kill the locust calamity ancestor."

Yu Tianyi raised an eyebrow, seemingly having thought of a way to break the deadlock, but there was currently no way to verify it.

"We've tested the power of this item. Let's go, or the Locust Commander will be here soon."

"Ah."

Without Fu Xuan's passage, long-distance jumps are impossible, but for March 7th in his prime, hiding with a burden wouldn't be particularly difficult.

Although they cannot leave this space region quickly, they can stall for time until reinforcements arrive.

boom!

A terrifying mental energy storm swept around Tianyi, but it couldn't break through the six-phase ice layer of March 7th. It simply 'slid' away, not only becoming immune to the damage but also preventing the opponent from noticing the anomaly.

"A light-year-level mental shock; after her modification, she became even stronger."

Chapter 105 The past is like smoke

The words spoken on March 7th carried a hint of complex emotion, clearly indicating that his relationship with the predecessor of this Locust Commander was not simple.

"It sounds like you know this Gan Rui."

"Alas, she was originally an instructor in charge of our warships, and she herself was a very powerful Destiny Walker, almost comparable to us Envoys who directly obtain power from the Star Gods."

"In that case, she shouldn't have been ambushed by the Sand King's cult."

Hearing what March 7th said, Yu Tianyi became curious. The Sand King Cult didn't seem to be the type with many high-end combatants, so how did they manage to capture and reform such a powerful Fate Walker?

"That's why I sighed. She wasn't modified because of a sneak attack or defeat in battle; it was voluntary."

On March 7th, she then told Yu Tianyi what she knew about the origins of the Shah King's cult.

According to her, the Shah Cult was not originally called by this name, but was a company called 'Life and Abnormal Science Research'.

Gan Rui was unfortunately infected by the 'calamity,' which is the concept of reproduction, after commanding a battle. Although he suppressed it with his own destiny power, his strength was greatly reduced, and he had to leave the front line and become an instructor.

At this time, the company disguised as a cult of the Sand King extended an olive branch to her, inviting her to participate in some kind of experiment, which was said to be able to remove the effects of the 'calamity' to some extent.

"Later, the resistance fighters realized that what they called removing influence was transforming individuals into structures similar to silverfish. Since they had become the same kind, they could naturally ignore the concept of reproduction to a certain extent."

It might not sound too terrible; if it stopped there, it would just be a dangerous experiment. However, as you know, the Sand King's ambitions go far beyond this.

"Judging from the appearance of this Locust Commander, I can roughly guess that their ultimate goal is probably to rein in that god whose mind is only focused on reproduction, control Him, and thus become the ruler of the galaxy."

Yu Tianyi sneered. He had heard far too many stories about the consequences of trying to grasp things beyond one's comprehension.

Putting everything else aside, just the fact that this chapter is titled "The Locust Plague's Doomsday" instead of "The Doomsday of the Sand King's Cult" tells us that these guys' ideas are ultimately just wishful thinking.

"We can tolerate the unknown, but we must never succumb to the unknowable." Himeko often told me this; it was Akivili's mantra.

The Sand Kings' actions, however, are an attempt to grasp the unknown in a way that is already known; they are far too hasty.

March 7th also knew why the Shah King's cult had quietly grown within the resistance army and was continuing to expand. It was because hope was fading, growing ever dimmer.

"Hmm? Why are you looking at me like that?"

"I thought you would think of the Shah Kings as a crazy and evil organization and vow to defeat them."

“I’m not a child anymore. I’ve been a commander for so many years, I know all the ins and outs.”

Perhaps because of her deep impression of March 7th before her time travel, Yu Tianyi subconsciously believed that she was still the same person.

"In the end, if breeding Star Gods were just a nuisance rather than an apocalypse, I would definitely think the Sand King's cult had gone mad. Unfortunately, that's not the case."

The image of the star god's cry from not long ago reappeared before her eyes. She had only heard the sucking rhythm, and before she even had a chance to rouse her destiny to resist, she was transformed into countless worms.

It is not surprising that an organization like the Shah Kings' Cult would emerge after enduring such oppression for hundreds of thousands of years.

"If I hadn't known of your existence, I would have found it difficult to even entertain the thought of fighting back, let alone defeating you."

As March 7th spoke, he looked at Yu Tianyi, and the strange look in his eyes made Yu Tianyi feel a little creeped out.

"Don't put so much pressure on me, it will scare me. After all, even I don't expect to succeed in a short time."

The two began chatting casually right under the nose of the Locust Commander, amidst the raging storms outside, making it all seem rather comical.

"The mental problems that come with immortality... If you can truly solve the problem of calamity, I believe that no matter the outcome, they will at least be willing to help you with your research."

When the topic of demonic bodies came up, March 7th, like Dan Heng before him, seemed somewhat bewildered and confirmed that very few individuals in this spacetime could survive for very long.

Even the Soul Essence creatures, known for their immortality, are transformed into silverfish. Although they retain their original characteristics, they can no longer be considered alive.

"Suihuang, I never imagined that such a predecessor would cause such a disaster in other dimensions. When I was still a member of the train, it saved me several times, and I still remember it vividly."

In this timeline, the Emperor Sui is an incarnation of the sun, illuminating all things, protecting countless living beings, and saving hundreds of millions of beings from the locust plague.

This is arguably the most contrasting individual Yu Tianyi has ever seen.

This may also be related to the original characteristics of the Soul Spirit family. If they had not been contaminated by various emotions, they should not have posed much of a threat.

"Just now, while its mental impact was slightly weaker, I used the properties of the six-phase ice to send them a message in the imaginary dimension. This place is not far from where I disappeared, and there should be some activity in about a day."

While Auntie and Gan Rui were fighting, we took the opportunity to slip away.

It has to be said that the difference between March 7's use of the Six-Phase Ice in the pre-time travel storyline and this person's is truly indescribable; perhaps this is the growth brought about by war.

Of course, if March 7th were to choose, she would probably prefer the version of herself who travels on trains and adventures to different worlds, rather than the commander who worries about the end of the universe and shoulders the sacrifices of countless people.

The price that comes with growing up is not something everyone is willing to accept.

"It seems that it also knows that we are unlikely to run too far, and it has maintained this level of mental impact. The improvement in strength after the modification is really obvious."
