Chapter 645: Chapter 517 Wormhole Gate

Three continents.

One continent is full of orcs—

This is the world of the Lion King.

Another continent teems with giant serpents, scorpions, and poisonous insects—

This is the world of Granny Yin.

There is yet another continent occupied entirely by blond-haired, blue-eyed humans—

This is Elder Wu’s world.

The armies assembled by these three species were about to cross over the border of the worlds and sweep the opposing world in one swoop.

Suddenly, a piercing white light flashed in the distance.

The shockwave turned into a gale and struck.

A massive mushroom cloud rose into the sky, piercing the heavens.

The human commander yelled, "It’s a nuclear bomb from the tech side—when the radioactive dust in the sky falls down, it’ll be another disaster. Don’t rush forward!"

"High Priest!" the orc commander said in a muffled voice.

An orc wearing a skull and adorned with white bone jewelry stepped forward, looking at the distant explosion, and said,

"Don’t worry, give me a few minutes, and I’ll purify this place."

The half-human, half-snake venomous creature commander said, "We’re not afraid... But since there’s no need for a direct confrontation, waiting a few minutes is no big deal."

The armies of the three races stopped moving temporarily.

In another world.

Wu Xiaode spoke, "Okay, now we have some time to talk. Tell me, what is the most powerful species in your world?"

The man quickly said, "I am the Master of All Knowledge. My world leans towards technology. I’ve been seriously injured, and resources are almost depleted. Military power is insufficient as well."

"How did you end up in such a dire situation?" Wu Xiaode asked in surprise.

The man gave a wry smile, "I was determined to climb the tech tree, spending all our resources, so the development of our world was delayed."

"To what level has your tech tree reached?"

"Currently, I have encountered a fork in the road. I can choose wormhole phase shift technology or sentient steel intelligence."

Wu Xiaode was clueless.

—What are these things?

Perhaps noticing Wu Xiaode’s confusion, the Master of All Knowledge explained,

"Wormhole phase shift technology allows me to summon cosmic races at random from outer space. As long as I offer them shelter and agree to give them land to live on, they will fight for this world."

"Sentient steel intelligence is about giving life to Mobile Battle Armor, making it an intelligent existence like humans."

"Why haven’t you chosen yet?" Wu Xiaode asked.

The Master of All Knowledge’s face showed a strained smile, "Isn’t it because I lack the money? The world needs a large sum of money to evolve, and even though the sentient steel intelligence path is cheaper, I still can’t afford the down payment."

"Why is the wormhole more expensive?" Wu Xiaode pressed on.

"Because those species that roam the universe are already quite formidable, ready for battle as soon as they arrive!" said the Master of All Knowledge.

Wu Xiaode pondered for a moment, then immediately realized the benefits of this technology.

He made a decisive decision,

"There’s no time left. We’ll choose wormhole phase shift technology!"

"That requires thirty thousand tons of gold. Even if you killed me a hundred times, I couldn’t produce that much," said the Master of All Knowledge.

"I’ll pay," Wu Xiaode said indifferently.

The Master of All Knowledge glanced at him cautiously and shook his head,

"Brother, I appreciate you saving me just now—you can lie to your friends and it won’t cost you any flesh, but don’t deceive yourself."

"I’m serious," Wu Xiaode said.

"But why would you spend that money on me?"

As soon as the Master of All Knowledge finished speaking, a thought came to his mind, and he shifted a step backward imperceptibly.

Wu Xiaode found it both amusing and frustrating, and softly said, "Don’t be scared. I’m helping you just because they are my enemies... They want to halt the evolution of the world, and I’m determined to stop them."

The Master of All Knowledge looked at him askance, "Do you hate them that much? It looked like I was about to die. Once I die, the battle for supremacy would end—then you could continue to survive, using your gold to strengthen your world. Perhaps one day you might come from behind."

Wu Xiaode’s eyes narrowed slightly, and he said in a low voice, "Have you ever been in a fight?"

"A fight?" asked the Master of All Knowledge.

"Seems like you haven’t—let me explain a bit. We who scrabble in the streets never think about the future. Once a fight starts, we take every opportunity, even every second, to find a way to counterattack."

"If the goal is to take down the opponent, then the next time you strike, you take down the opponent."

"What about afterward? The dish is already cold!"

"...Do you think now is a good opportunity?" the Master of All Knowledge asked.

"Nothing could be better," Wu Xiaode said.

The Master of All Knowledge spread his hands.

You’re grievously injured, that woman is hiding, and the only one who can fight is you.

All three opponents are in their prime.

—And yet you say this is the best opportunity?

"Well... I need resources," said the Master of All Knowledge.

"Of course," Wu Xiaode casually flicked his wrist.

Neatly stacked gold bricks were laid out on top of a mountain, shining with a dazzling light.

The Master of All Knowledge only needed one glance to know that these gold bricks indeed weighed thirty thousand tons.

The gold shone brilliantly.

Basking in this hopeful light, the Master of All Knowledge’s entire demeanor of defeat vanished completely.

He threw himself at the pile of gold bricks, collapsing onto them, and laughed aloud,

"Good! Since brother has such generosity, then let’s see how far we can go!"

All the gold disappeared.

Wu Xiaode looked down and saw countless mechanical soldiers surrounding the vicinity of the central research institute in the world’s central city.

The entire research institute was in a state of high alert.

Suddenly.

A cold mechanical voice announced,

"Technological breakthrough complete."

"Based on our profound theoretical foundation, after tens of thousands of experiments, we have finally succeeded.

"We are now initiating the trial."

In the plaza of the research institute, a gigantic steel gate slowly rose.

Wires were dense and spread all over the plaza.

Gradually, light emerged from the gate.

"To clarify, this is the wormhole gate!" said the Master of All Knowledge.

"Is it powerful?" Wu Xiaode asked curiously.

"This kind of wormhole can randomly summon cosmic species that wander in space—however, each activation consumes a great deal of energy, and I can only do it once!"

Master of All Knowledge said.

He descended with Wu Xiaode, pressed his hand against the steel gate, and whispered,

"Wish me luck, this is our only hope for victory."

The light gate instantly erupted into a buzzing sound, instantly distorting the space around it.

Thud. Thud. Thud.

Heavy footsteps resonated.

A burly life form with purple skin crossed through the steel gate and declared loudly,

"Great World Master, are you willing to let our race settle here?"

"If you accept us, we will fight for you!"

The Master of All Knowledge covered his face in agony and kicked the other back through the gate.

All the energy light shadows on the steel gate instantly extinguished.

"What’s wrong? They look quite strong; why not take them?"

Wu Xiaode asked in surprise.

The Master of All Knowledge replied, "That race has a self-destructive tendency and needs to gather various special gemstones to create their Battle Armor to exert their combat power—but right now we need people who can join the battlefield immediately!"

He rubbed his hands anxiously, repeatedly saying, "Quick! Do you have any gold left, brother? I need to turn the tables!"

"How much do you need?" Wu Xiaode asked.

"To initiate it, at least 100 tons of gold—I swear, as long as I find the right species, I will definitely repay you!" the Master of All Knowledge said.

Wu Xiaode didn’t say anything, just laid the gold on the ground.

——Blood Youth gave ten billion tons; it probably won’t run out for a while.

The Master of All Knowledge was overjoyed. He quickly collected the gold, used magic to catalyze it into World Source Power, transformed it multiple times, and finally converged it on the wormhole gate.

The gate once again exhibited light shadows filled with powerful energy waves.

——Ready to summon again!

The Master of All Knowledge took a deep breath, rubbed his hands back and forth, and once again pressed them against the wormhole gate.

"Summon me a powerful species aaaahhhh!!!"

He roared.

All the light shadows on the light gate soared into the air, emitting invisible quantum shockwaves, instantaneously piercing through the endless Void.

Waiting——

One breath.

Two breaths.

Three breaths.

A new species appeared inside the gate!

——It was a rare colorful rooster!

The rooster squatted on the ground, cocking its head and staring at the World Master, and opened its mouth to say,

"YO——"

"YO your mother’s head!" the World Master cursed, and directly kicked it back through the gate.

The rooster flapped its wings and disappeared.

The wormhole gate once again quieted down, and all light shadows vanished.

"Damn it, why can’t it give me a powerful species!" lamented the World Master.

Wu Xiaode’s eyelid twitched and he asked, "Is this completely random?"

"Yes,"

"Just luck?"

"Right."

"But why didn’t you keep the rooster just now?" Wu Xiaode asked.

"It’s just a chicken, brother," the World Master said, on the verge of going mad.

"But... the species summoned by the wormhole are those who can wander through the universe. Do you think an ordinary chicken can do that?" Wu Xiaode asked.

The World Master froze.

Wu Xiaode shook his head——

This guy was nervous, swayed by emotions and no longer fit to continue.

Although he was wealthy, it wasn’t meant to be squandered this way.

Looking again towards the frontier direction——

The allied armies of three races had completed purification, were gathering for the last time, and were about to rush in!

"...Let me initiate it once, okay?" Wu Xiaode spoke up.

"This——" the World Master hesitated.

"I’m paying, after all, the species are yours," Wu Xiaode said.

"Fine, you need to press this button on the gate, the red one. Got it?"

"Okay,"

Wu Xiaode replied.

In his world, the Book of the Dead opened, flipping directly to the page of Shadow Followers.

Zhao Junyu looked at Xiao Baihong and then at Christina who had just drawn her dagger—

"I know, it’s time to stab myself again,"

He said with a sigh.

Stab.

Shen Xiujun stabbed him in the back, smiling and saying, "Jun Yu is so noble; I’m saying thank you on behalf of Brother Wu."

Li Kunlun also received a long knife.

He looked at the knife, thoughtfully saying, "We truly have put ourselves on the line for our brother, but why did all the women give us knives?"

Stab.

Christina stabbed him in the chest while giggling, "Don’t worry, Ulysses will heal you in a bit."

"Activate the title, Heavenly Ghost," Li Kunlun said, grimacing in pain.

The other Shadow Followers similarly began stabbing themselves.

Wu Xiaode stood in place waiting.

"Luck" kept favoring him, the Master of All Knowledge completed a resource transformation, and after everything was settled——

Wu Xiaode pressed his hand against the wormhole gate.

"Come on, we need a warlike species. As long as you’re willing to come, everything is negotiable,"

He said.

The wormhole gate instantly once again exhibited soaring light shadows, extending towards the depths of the sky like a divine sign.

A massive buzzing echoed in all directions, howling back and forth in the swirling vortex.

Suddenly.

A figure appeared within the wormhole gate.

"I have wandered alone for too long... I indeed need a place to settle..."
