Highway Survival for All: My RV's Infinite Evolution

Albedo organized her thoughts and began to explain the concept of "authority" to Lin Hui:

"Above the peak of the 9th tier, one is known as a 'half-step demigod.' The only distinguishing feature between the peak of the 9th tier and a half-step demigod is whether or not one possesses 'authority.'"

"Of course, the 'authority' they possess is incomplete; usually, there's only one. My mother once told me that, for some reason, every kind of authority in our universe is divided into 100 parts!"

"At the demigod stage, beings can only superficially utilize the power of one portion of 'authority,' unable to fully digest and master it."

Albedo paused, then continued, "Once a being can completely absorb this authority into its soul, making it a part of its body, then it means... it has truly crossed the chasm and become a true 'demigod'!"

"However, it is extremely difficult and dangerous to contain power. The slightest carelessness can lead to being devoured by the 'power,' causing one's soul to collapse and turning into a mindless monster."

Therefore, even if one is fortunate enough to obtain a single authority, 99% of the high-level beings in this universe can only ever reach the level of a half-step demigod in their entire lives…

Lin Hui nodded thoughtfully, digesting this high-level intelligence.

A higher-dimensional power that transcends "divinity"... "Authority"!

Although this is indeed too far away for him, who doesn't even have a trace of divinity yet.

But he deduced something from this.

The Zerg Queen... was far more terrifying than he had imagined.

Thinking of this, Lin Hui felt an even stronger sense of crisis.

Before leaving.

Albedo entered Agatha's dream and, after confirming that Umulus was completely gone, she woke Agatha.

Then she looked at Natasha and instructed her, "Remember, don't let Agatha sleep anymore. Otherwise, Umulos might return to her dream."

"Yes!" Natasha nodded emphatically.

……

The final battlefield, East District.

Amidst swirling black dust, Zhuge Mo's heavy truck drove for more than half an hour before coming to a stop on a flat, open ground without incident.

Guo Tiantian reported to the leader: "President, we've arrived. The coordinates are exactly (X: 682, Y: 542)."

However, there was still no response outside the car window.

The safety margin has not yet been lowered.

Huo Lie rubbed his red hair and asked, "Mr. Zhuge, have we come to the wrong place again?"

"No rush," Zhuge Mo said calmly.

Then, he raised his head and gazed at the giant gear-shaped bell in the distance, a distance of a hundred kilometers.

Zhuge Mo adjusted his glasses on the bridge of his nose, parted his lips slightly, and began to count down steadily.

"10..."

"9..."

Huo Lie and Guo Tiantian looked at each other, completely bewildered.

"8..."

"..."

"3..."

"2..."

When Zhuge Mo uttered the last number "1".

"Buzz..."

Without any warning, a white beam of light shot into the sky, expanding outward from the center of Zhuge Mo's heavy truck, instantly enveloping the entire convoy!

at the same time.

The system notification sounded simultaneously in the minds of all the players in the team.

[Ding! Congratulations on successfully activating the hidden security circle!]

[Current safe zone can accommodate a maximum of 100 vehicles. Duration: 8 hours.]

I heard this sound.

Huo Lie froze completely.

His mouth was agape, wide enough to fit an ostrich egg. He stared blankly at the white curtain of light outside the car window, then turned to look at Zhuge Mo, who remained calm.

After holding back for a long time, Huo Lie's thousand words finally condensed into a dry exclamation.

"Holy crap..."

"How did you figure that out? Can you teach us?!"

Zhuge Mo smiled slightly: "The game gave a hint, it's on those four clocks."

Huo Lie asked, "Zhong? Isn't that just a 24-hour countdown?"

Not entirely correct.

Zhuge Mo spread the blank paper out in front of everyone:

"Look closely. At each of the four ends of this battlefield, in the east, west, south, and north, stands a giant bell."

If we draw a straight line connecting the east and west clocks, and use that as the X-axis, and a straight line connecting the south and north clocks, and use that as the Y-axis, then the intersection of these two lines is the absolute center point (0,0) of this battlefield.

"These four bells form a massive Cartesian coordinate grid! And the entire Battlefield of the End is like a chessboard covered with these grids!"

Huo Lie was taken aback: "Coordinate grid? Where is the safe zone?"

"The system has indicated there are 108 safety zones. In Taoist astrology, the Twenty-Eight Mansions are surrounded by the Thirty-Six Heavenly Generals and Seventy-Two Earthly Fiends, totaling 108 star positions!"

Zhuge Mo drew 108 dots on the paper with his pen: "At first, I thought these circles were fixed on certain stellar coordinates. But it turns out I was wrong. I just observed that giant bell and discovered something."

"Listen..."

"Da...da...da..."

"The second hand of the giant clock ticks with a 'click' sound each time it moves."

"But this is far more than just timing! Every time the second hand ticks, the 108 safety circle arrays across the entire battlefield shift once on the coordinate grid!"

The car was deathly silent.

"Translation? You mean the safety circle is moving every second?!" Huo Lie gasped.

"That's right! Just like the slider in a Sudoku game." Zhuge Mo continued, "The system's so-called 'it can exist for 8 hours after being triggered' is actually a hidden 'locking mechanism'."

"It will only be 'triggered' when the vehicle happens to stop and come into contact with a moving safety circle. Once triggered, the circle will stop moving and remain fixed in place like a nail for 8 hours!"

Huo Lie felt his brain couldn't keep up: "If the circle moves once per second, even if we know where it was a second ago, by the time we get there, it will have vanished!"

Zhuge Mo smiled and said, "But this isn't unsolvable! As long as we crack its translation algorithm, we can wait for it at the coordinates it's bound to pass through!"

At this point, Zhuge Mo pushed a stack of calculation drafts in front of Huo Lie. "The answer is on there; you can take it and study it!"

Huo Lie stared at the sheets of paper filled with densely packed formulas, feeling like his head was about to explode.

Then, he looked deeply at Zhuge Mo and exclaimed in admiration:

"Mr. Zhuge, you are truly a divine being!"
