Otherworldly Desert Dust

"The Black Angel Legion shouldn't be like some pseudo-alien civilizations that have a hive mind, right? Most of them are independent and powerful beings, and it's not easy to completely paralyze them. Do you have any clever strategies?" Wu Hen asked.

Even for a hive system, directly taking down the commanding Queen of the Black Angels wouldn't be easy. Any breakthroughs humans could think of, the hive mind could also conceive. It's like a collective superbrain AI; it has already run simulations on any tricks you have up your sleeve, so it's naive to think that there's some sort of simple "unplugging" bug that would cause such an expansive intelligence to collapse – that some human genius could exploit it.

"Of course, I have." Dai Jing nodded.

"Let's hear it."

"Since you've been to the Blood Lake Base, you should know that all mutated creatures have a prime specimen. This prime specimen carries a string of numbers, which are their mutation codes," Dai Jing explained.

Wu Hen naturally remembered those mutant specimens.

The exhibition hall of the Blood Lake Base was like a real-life field guide to mutated creatures. All the mutated creatures encountered in this land evolved from those specimen prototypes.

"We've been collecting these mutation codes and cracking their original mutant genes," Dai Jing said.

"What's the use of decoding the original mutation genes? Can it make them all perish?" Wu Hen inquired.

"Of course not. The prime specimens are just that – specimens. They're not some kind of empress. Even if you obliterate all the prime specimens, those mutated creatures running amok out there will thrive just the same; they'll continue to mutate and evolve. Prime specimens are simply the first batch of test subjects. They might not necessarily be the most powerful. From an evolutionary standpoint, prime specimens represent the most comprehensive of the species, able to adapt in a variety of environments, but they are not the strongest. The strongest mutants are born through endless killing, selection, and evolution in this Mutant Hell," Dai Jing explained.

Like many plants, the yield of their progenitor isn't as high as seeds with improved genes. These progenitors are representative of a certain era and suitable as a medium for cultivation.

"Since that's the case, what's the use of collecting these prime specimens' mutation codes?" Wu Hen asked, puzzled.

"Originally, the Blood Lake Base conducted an interesting experiment on prime specimens: they analyzed which entities are considered natural predators in their genes. Later, the researchers discovered a segment of the DNA in these mutated creatures that represents a 'natural predator' gene code. That is, within their inherent killing instincts, there's also a priority – humans are placed rather high on their killing priority, and for other Alien Species, the priority would be lower..." Dai Jing explained.

"It sounds pretty complicated," Wu Hen commented.

The others were listening too, not quite understanding what Dai Jing was planning to do.

"To put it simply, we have mastered the technology to change the genes that dictate killing priority. The prerequisite is that we must collect enough codes from the prime specimens, which will allow us to induce a large number of top-tier mutated species to prioritize hunting certain specific creatures," Dai Jing said.

"To put it simply, you want to implant a specific target of hatred in the strongest mutant royal species on this land, like inputting a specific code into those killing machines," Wu Hen somewhat understood.

This method was similar to the implantation of gene-based fear in high-dimensional insects.

Once you master a certain high-dimensional technique, you can make one species develop a natural predator fear toward another species.

Collecting the codes of all prime specimens may not control the mutant royal species, but can implant a specific target in them, causing these mutant royal species to prioritize killing a certain group first. This effectively achieves a form of control. If you input a code that prioritizes killing "handsome guys," all the mutant royal species would start targeting themselves.

The expressions of the others changed.

Including the mechanical youth and the Iron Army Leader, neither of whom seemed to know about Dai Jing's radical plan.

"This is the only way to deal with the Black Angel Legion," Dai Jing stated.

"So, your pursuit of the female Black Angel was actually to take her data and use her scent and genetics as bait for all mutant royal species?" Wu Hen asked.

"Yes, she is a prime specimen, the progenitor of the entire Black Angel Legion," Dai Jing nodded.

"Are you sure this won't drive all the mutated creatures on this land mad?" That's when Taiya spoke up accusatorily.

"Aren't they already mad? You should know that in the primal killing gene of all mutated species, the number one target is living beings. By changing this killing order, am I not protecting all life on this land? Let monsters fight monsters; it's best if they all wipe each other out," Dai Jing said.

Dai Jing's plan was mad and had extensive implications.

But in his heart, Wu Hen found himself somewhat in agreement.

Considering those outside monstrosities – Alien forms, Sang Demons, Corpse People, Deformed Monsters – they've all deviated far from the scope of life. There's no need to consider the continuity of life; they'd be better off passed on quickly for the land to regain its health.

Since human efforts were inadequate to overcome them, and Gods also stood powerless, it might actually be better to administer a stern remedy and let monsters take on monsters.

The true visage of the Black Angels, Wu Hen had also witnessed.

They are all fallen species evolved from living humans, their souls long since tainted beyond redemption, no longer part of humanity, their very existence a tragedy. And yet, they were being manipulated by some power-hungry forces, turned into Death Soldiers ruling over this land.

If the Black Shirt Organization's Black Sky Lord commands a Black Angel Army, that means who knows how many innocent women like Dai Ting have been dragged away to be used as test subjects.

"What else is your plan lacking?" Wu Hen asked.

Now that he was determined to join Dai Jing's insurrectionist army, Wu Hen naturally also needed to play the role of a powerful ally.

"We originally planned to assassinate the temple behind Lan Guang Temple, a party in cahoots with the Black Shirt Organization. The Abyss Light Weapons they provide to the Black Shirt Organization would pose a significant threat to the Mutant Royal Species. However, the temple fell ill on her own, and we didn't even have to lift a finger, as Lan Guang Temple plunged into its own internal strife," Dai Jing said, her gaze already falling on Taiya.

Taiya clearly didn't understand anything.

But Taiya knew that the reason why those Mutant Royal Species didn't dare to invade the major Oasis Cities was because of their Lan Guang Temple. Except for a Corpse King that had evolved to the top, other Mutant Royal Species also feared their Light Spell power.

"Is Heaven leaning in your favor?" Wu Hen remarked.

The temple was clearly a key figure in Lan Guang Temple, the one suppressing the Mutant Royal Species in this land.

This meant that the last barrier that Dai Jing needed to worry about had also automatically collapsed. So, her mad plan could now proceed; she would awaken the wildness of all the Mutant Royal Species on this land, to hunt down the Black Shirt Organization's Black Angel Army, completely crumbling the Black Sky Lord's armed forces.

"Yes, the Black Sky Lord will sooner or later pay for his past evils. My siblings and I will personally cut off every piece of flesh from his body and let him taste the pain similar to the invasion of Mechanical Cells!" Dai Jing's eyes changed; she loathed that self-proclaimed God of Transformation, the Black Sky Lord.

Wu Hen glanced at the mechanical boy and then at the Iron Army Leader.

Before Wu Hen could speak, Dai Jing suddenly laughed and said, "What, do you think I'm like a female demon who wants to overturn everything? Even more sinister than the Black Shirt Organization?"

"First of all, I do not approve of the doctrine of the Black Shirt Organization. They loathe me, and I maintain a transcendental attitude towards them. Secondly, only children distinguish between good and evil; I only care about interests. Your plan is grand, and it sounds thrilling, but a single High-dimensional Yuan You Fragment is a bit... for me working my life away for you," Wu Hen began to negotiate his price.

"What are you looking for?" Dai Jing suddenly asked.

Hearing this, Wu Hen immediately put on a smile and said, "I'm looking for my girlfriend. She's lost contact with me. I just found from her handbook that she once set foot in this land."

"Oh," Dai Jing didn't pursue further, then said, "What do you want to gain? If it's High-dimensional Essence Ghost, I'm afraid it's very difficult; these things are serendipitous and not so easily found..."

"That's not necessary. I understand what High-dimensional Essence Ghost means," Wu Hen said.

"How about a Tenth-ranked Life Pearl? You should know that Tenth-ranked Life has already reached the standards of high-dimensional life in terms of bodily functions. According to my hunch, your current most urgent need should be life evolution, not anything else," Dai Jing suggested.

"You have one??" Wu Hen asked in surprise.

A Tenth-ranked Life Pearl is indeed a High-dimensional Treasure.

Indeed, as Dai Jing said, Wu Hen now held the Black Divine Miracle and within his body resided the Disaster Saint Soul, both of which were High-dimensional Powers, but his own body had only just advanced to Eighth Rank. According to Desert Dust's standards, Tenth-ranked Life was where his own flesh touched the threshold of high-dimensional existence.

"I don't have it, but the Black Sky Lord definitely does. Don't forget that he was once the main creator of the Blood Lake Base. Even if he can't create a Tenth-ranked Life Pearl himself, it doesn't mean he doesn't have a collection. You need to have an authentic sample to create fakes, or else you won't even know how to start; he definitely has a Tenth-ranked Life Pearl... You know, I just need him to pay the price he deserves, and as for the Life Pearls, they're not so useful for someone on my evolutionary path," Dai Jing began to earnestly recruit Wu Hen.

"If that's the term, then my three friends and I can join," Wu Hen said.

"Then the strongest Mutant Royal Species will be handed over to your team, and my troops and I will assemble near the Black Lighthouse, we'll make the Black Sky Lord pay with his blood!" Dai Jing said.

"Ah?? I thought you guys had already gathered it all," Wu Hen exclaimed in surprise.

"The Abyss Light Yuan You is my good faith; otherwise, you would never be able to absorb it in your lifetime, and you need to show your sincerity, don't you?" Dai Jing said with a smile.

"Okay, tell me the location. You must have that information," Wu Hen said.

"It's in the midst of the largest Corpse Tide, it's the Corpse Queen."

"Damn it!!" Wu Hen couldn't help but curse.
