Chapter 597: Chapter 597: Join the Glorious Evolution_1

The Archbishop of the Lunar Eclipse Sect, the commander of the First Army Corp of the Barrosa Group, neither of these two was anything less than a figure who could summon a crowd with a simple call to arms. Perhaps they had never realized that they spent their lives in struggle only to become the "crickets" of some Consciousness Entities.

Now, under the influence of this consciousness, they noticed their true enemy—the Bug Swarm.

In the midst of the giant pit, the two arch-enemies unexpectedly ceased their battle and directed their primary goal towards him and Lu Xiang.

This scene was far removed from Song Lan’s initial plan.

It wasn’t difficult to eradicate two "crickets," but for the higher Consciousness Entities, such a matter was inconsequential. As long as they willed it, they could initiate a second, third, or even more "cricket fighting" competitions at any time. To them, the entire world was like a massive playground.

Before Helifis and the First Army Corp Commander could react, Spiritual Energy seized control of their bodies and lifted them into the air.

This was an irresistible force, and under the suppression of Spiritual Energy, they couldn’t even twitch a finger.

They clearly felt the Spiritual Energy infiltrating their bodies, and the unknown caused them to widen their eyes in terror. They had never imagined that the power of the Bug Swarm Queen could be so overwhelming that it was beyond human resistance. They couldn’t help but suspect that the other party was already a "finished product" of a ritual.

At the same time, the whispers generated on the night of the Antigon anomaly once again appeared in Song Lan’s mind.

This time, the whispers were much clearer.

It was a call from an unknown source, beckoning them to return to the embrace of "Father God."

Immediately after, he saw the true vision of "Purgatory."

It was a world comprised entirely of flesh. Unlike the vast universe he had seen before, he felt as if he were inside some organism, in the stomach of a strange world that had swallowed him whole.

This world opened its eyes to him.

Another kind of intense consciousness swept over him, and the entire world was overwhelmed by this single consciousness and voice, urging any life or consciousness that reached this place to merge with it.

Suddenly, Song Lan understood the process that Helifis and others called "Ascension."

Unlike the process of discarding the flesh and reaching the higher spaces with Spiritual Energy and consciousness, this was a process of fusion.

They would eventually become part of this fleshy world, just as the consuming Consciousness Entity had shown. In the end, even their thoughts would merge tightly with the world; the consciousness he was currently feeling was itself the result of countless fusions.

He couldn’t know how many people, or how many creatures, had reached this place before him, but now, they had all become the same being, maintaining a high degree of uniform thought and emitting the same voice.

"You do not belong here!"

After a moment of eye contact, the whispers filling Song Lan’s mind stopped.

The entire world became agitated. His arrival seemed to trigger an immune response, and he could feel overwhelming hostility emanating from the Consciousness Entity. This hostility transcended personal vendettas, resembling a "program" written into the genetic sequence.

The existence of the Consciousness Entity confirmed Song Lan’s initial guess.

There were more than one higher-space in this world; this was a completely different "path of promotion," and in places unknown to him, other higher-life forms were continuously harvesting their "followers."

But in reality, he hadn’t truly come to this place.

Everything he was currently seeing existed only within the shadows inside the bodies of Helifis and the First Army Corp Commander, which is the true nature of the "sin genes" the Barrosa Group had identified.

Then, he was expelled from this world.

Because the bridge connecting his consciousness to the upper world changed. The moment it discovered his existence, the Consciousness Entity immediately terminated the cricket fighting competition. It seemed they were no longer fixated on wrestling the strongest "cricket" from between Helifis and the First Army Corp Commander.

Their bodies mutated simultaneously.

Screams turned into beast-like roars in an instant, their bodies, restrained by Spiritual Energy, swelled up rapidly, losing the silhouette of human form in the blink of an eye.

A Consciousness Entity was infused into their brains, forcibly triggering the "blooming and fruiting" of the seeds embedded within their bodies.

That Consciousness seemed to deliberately show him the process of evolution. As they expanded and spread, the bodies of the two former arch-enemies began to twist and merge together, even their hostile spirits and consciousnesses seemed to unify rapidly during this process.

They devoured everything they could reach at breakneck speed.

The earth, the skies, even radiation became nutrients for their growth, and the spreading flesh swiftly extended to every corner of the world.

This seemingly foreshadowed how the upper world was devoured by the Consciousness Entity.

In the process of this evolution, individual emotions and grudges no longer mattered, eventually everything would merge into one.

Perhaps this was the significance of the world beneath the "mines," a world specially prepared by their "Father God" for them. If they had never come here, by the time the United Government noticed what had happened, the consciousnesses of Helifis or the First Army Corp’s commander would have already evolved.

"So that’s how it is."

Watching the flesh fungi carpet beneath his feet, Song Lan suddenly had an epiphany.

This trip to the Third Neutral Country had truly been worthwhile.

This friend he had yet to meet demonstrated personally to him the way to manipulate fate.

He remembered that after returning from the Purple Wisteria Academy, Lu Xiang had once asked him how to change the course of a person’s fate. At the time, he misunderstood that fate, like timelines, was the result of countless precise alterations, but in reality, its mechanism seemed much simpler than he understood.

For Helifis, from the moment she walked on this radiation-filled land alongside her "father" and heard him say, "Perhaps only you can find the answer," her fate had been sealed.

The same was true for the commander of the First Army Corp.

From the moment he learned of the existence of upper life forms and took it upon himself to prevent this catastrophe, he had stepped onto the path "fate" had arranged for him.

This idea, rooted in their minds by "God," became fate itself.

In the process of evolution and fusion, the remaining consciousnesses of Helifis and the First Army Corp commander were rapidly dissipating, with those parts deemed unimportant drifting away from them.

They couldn’t stop this process.

For the unstoppable consciousness in their minds was convincing them that compared to the path that lay ahead of them, everything they had experienced before was inconsequential.

Cold, weariness, and nothingness engulfed them, urging them to quickly return to the collective.

Until, at the moment when all was about to fade into nothingness, they vaguely saw a familiar figure.

Though the figure had its back to them, they could instantly remember everything about the other person.

And in the instant they saw that silhouette, the process of evolution seemed to halt in place. Under the influence of consciousness, it felt as if time flowed backward, and the memories stripped from their bodies slowly returned to their minds.

This allowed them a brief respite from the erosion of consciousness.

Helifis was the first to move, running towards the direction that the silhouette indicated.
