Chapter 2458 - 2458 Abyss Womb!

2458 Abyss Womb!

If the alien insects did not procreate within a set time, they would die due to the changes to their bodies.

This situation was very easy to explain.

Due to the massive numbers of alien insects, they had to have strong procreative abilities.

In the alien insect world, many alien insects consumed weaker alien insects. Thus, there had to be many new alien insects to make up for the loss.

The alien insects that could not procreate were useless to their ecosystem. Natural selection had already incorporated a mechanism to eliminate such existences.

There were some water-world dimensional lifeforms that did not procreate for long periods of time. But each time they did, they would produce hundreds of thousands of eggs.

There was no need for all the eggs to survive. It would be lucky if 1/1000 of them survived.

Demons were the only known dimensional lifeform whose method of procreation was still unknown.

This was a significant source of headache for Scholars. They even tried using Succubi to control low-class demons. The low-class demons would clearly become infatuated with the Succubi, but all they did was quietly prostrate themselves once they had declared their affection.

This caused the Scholars to come up with a common conclusion. In spite of their strength, demons could not be of much use. After trying all ways and means, they still failed to learn how demons procreated.

There was no way they could apply for research grants from the Radiance Federation with such research that did not have any practical use. Thus, the Scholars’ curiosity eventually eroded away.

The purple and red flesh-like entity contracted and expanded before producing many worms. After using True Data on these worms, Lin Yuan saw that they were called the Abyss Worms. He found out that they could transform into various demons.

After being born, the Abyss Worms used their weak consciousness to consume the demons they had regenerated from while absorbing the fire-elemental energy in the sulfur vapors around them.

After the Abyss Worms consumed a certain amount of the Demon Matrix, they began wading toward the abyssal world’s higher levels.

This was because they were not satisfied with the energy provided by the Demon Matrix and intended to cannibalize other Abyss Worms. It would not take long for their original form to change.

Lin Yuan noticed that the Abyss Worms that had consumed other Abyss Worms would start to take on humanoid features.

Thus, the eruption of the Demon Matrix on the first level would be the starting point for all the demons in the abyssal world.

The decisions they made at birth would affect the rest of their lives.

It was already clear what currently existed on the first level! The entity that created the abyssal world, the Abyss Womb, was on the first level.

The temperature started dropping rapidly after the Demon Matrix erupted. It was now around ten degrees cooler than the third level of the abyssal world. The temperature between the second to first level could be said to be similar to that of Bronze Furnace City.

Apparently, the eruption of the Demon Matrix used up all the fire-elemental energy of the second level.

Now that Lin Yuan had uncovered one of the abyssal world’s secrets, he took a deep breath and asked Eternal Source and Dazzling Silver, “Do you have the ability to break this seal?”

After sensing it, Eternal Source and Dazzling Silver looked unsure.

Eternal Source investigated the seal before Dazzling Silver did and said seriously, “Lord Lin Yuan, I sensed the eruption of the purple and red entity. Given my current power, overcoming the energy released by the eruption will be difficult. I will have to do some tests to see if I will be able to break the seal. But I can’t be certain if my tests will cause negative consequences.”

Eternal Source’s words caused Lin Yuan to look surprised.

Lin Yuan had not expected that even a pinnacle Samsara Realm Dictator like Eternal Source would be stumped.

If Eternal Source could not break the seal, it was unlikely that any other entity in the abyssal world could.

From this, it seemed that he would not have to reach the 18th level of the abyssal world to take control of the abyssal world. All he needed was to take control of the first level, which was the starting point of the abyssal world.

Dazzling Silver was always cautious. She did not object to Eternal Source’s assessment.

“Lord Thearch, this seal gives me the same feeling as the Deep Chasm Sea Eye. Do you feel the same way? I think that only power that is beyond the Samsara Realm will be able to break it.”

Dazzling Silver looked at Lin Yuan adoringly and caused him to feel rather awkward.

Hello? What are you looking at me for? I might have the thearch-class bloodline, but I don’t have the power to match.

Lin Yuan had the spiritual ingredients from the skunk as well as the Deep Chasm Sea Eye. He could use Green Vine to demonstrate the might of the Deep Chasm Sea Eye again.

If the threat of Tower Canon did not exist, Lin Yuan would have been willing to demonstrate his secret weapon for the sake of exploring a dimensional world.

But now that Tower Canon was looming over him, the Radiance Federation, and the entire main world, Lin Yuan could not risk losing weapons that he could use against them.

Hence, Lin Yuan would have no choice but to leave even if he did not manage to reach the first level of the abyssal world.

Even if he reached the first level and found the Abyss Womb, it would not be of any help unless he found the books and Endless Gems as well.

Lin Yuan now understood what happened once a dimensional world’s books and Endless Gems were together. They would form the treasure of that dimensional world.

When the books were combined, they would form a tome. Whoever possessed the tome would be able to dictate the rules of that dimensional world. They could also change the number of books that the tome could be separated into to determine the authority that each book possessed.

Furthermore, the tome could also speed up the rate at which one took control of the dimensional world. The tome would then become akin to the Continent Vein Core once that dimensional world was combined with other dimensional worlds.

However, these were not the most important functions of combining the books into a tome.

The tome could be contracted. In order to form the contract, one needed to use soul power so the tome would recognize the lifeform’s soul.

However, there was a prerequisite to the contraction. The contractor had to form a contract with that dimensional world’s treasure first.

One would enter a state of slumber when using soul power to form a contract with the tome.

This was what Lin Yuan experienced when he first absorbed the Secret of the Dead into his soul. The duration of the slumber was unpredictable.
