Recruit black physique to start practice in wasteland

Chapter 2337 It’s Over

Jin Ge Zhenxian was indeed very angry.

Given the way cultivators operate, if they haven't completely killed the Out-of-Body Insectoids, destroying the God Statue is practically inevitable.

But the way the Tapirs do things is really disgusting—are they used to using free thugs?
The cultivator naturally refused to continue helping.

Upon hearing this, the three great masters of the tapir clan looked at each other, none of them able to speak.

Seeing this, True Venerable Hanli shook his head. "Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. Let's rest for a few days and then go find the opportunities with the Zerg."

So far, the Tapir race still owes cultivators a crucial opportunity, and this one in the Zerg region is the final option.

If the cultivator succeeds, the matter will be settled, leaving only the opportunity to atone for his sins promised by Grand Venerable Ratan.

The collaboration has now come to an end, and none of the five are interested in continuing to work with each other.

Although the Star Eater Venerables act erratically, the meaning behind their words is still understandable.

Nobody wanted to give up such a great opportunity, but things had come to this point.

"Let's rest first," said Ratan, forcing himself to stay alert. "Here?"

“Stay if you want,” Minning Zhenzun glared at it fiercely and summoned the other cultivators to gather.

This is definitely not a suitable place to rest. The Treants may be a little slow to react, but the Zerg's desire for revenge is hard to predict.

There were still remnants of the Tree Clan and Insect Clan in space, but the cultivators began to gather and became too lazy to capture them anymore.

The distribution of spoils was simple, just roughly the same. Even the Golden Spear Immortal didn't mind that the Star Tapir took half of the Nascent Soul Mother Tree.

The enemy needs a substantial amount of spoils to boost morale, and cultivators aren't that stingy.

For the five, the gains from this battle were really not great, mainly because the Zerg revealed themselves too thoroughly.

But it doesn't matter. There are Zerg everywhere. I can just rest for a while and then go back to fight.

After cleaning up the battlefield, both teams left immediately.

The three Star Tapir Grandmasters looked at the planet where the Mother Tree once stood, and felt a slight regret: It's a pity we can't occupy this place.

Previously, they had some reservations about cultivators taking spirit stone mines, feeling that it was a bit too cruel.

But now that they're not taking it anymore, they feel regretful—this is aiding the enemy!

This also shows that the cultivators were truly annoyed and intentionally left behind the spirit stone vein as a way of provoking the tapir race.

When it comes to this, even the Star-Burning Great Venerable could step in and take it; however, they are somewhat worried about the consequences.

They still retain some memory of the last sigh from the world's will. Cultivators dared to do that, but they were local natives.

In short... it's a very complicated matter!

The two sides agreed to meet at a certain place, where the cultivators would rest and the Star Eater Venerable would also rest.

During their rest, the cultivators examined the prisoners' memories.

There wasn't much to gain, but in the memory of one of the "external Nascent Soul cultivators," there really was a concept of "above the Great Venerable."

It had heard its god mention that leaving the body was not the end for the insectoid race; there should be an even higher realm.

However, even the Astral Transformation God Lord wasn't entirely clear on what that realm was all about; he only knew that many God Lords were still exploring it.

As for whether any deity has reached that point, that remains a mystery, but... it's very likely not!

This Out-of-Body God believes that if the Zerg really reaches that point, they might try to integrate all the Zerg.

Aside from this, there's really nothing more to report. There's no information whatsoever about the portal to the Zerg world that everyone wants to know about.

In the memories of all the Zerg, how they simultaneously faced off against both the Treants and the Tapirs is a blank.

It was as if some terrifying being had deliberately erased this memory.

In any case, the Zerg are known for their aggressive nature, and if they encounter an opponent of a different race, it will inevitably be a fight to the death.

Even within the Zerg, wars occasionally break out between forces under different gods.

Especially after the new Out-of-Body Zerg took power, the battles between them and the former God Lord became even more brutal.

After resting for half a month, both groups felt they were ready and set off to find one last opportunity.

It was a star cluster brimming with spiritual energy, but it wasn't particularly stable and posed a certain danger.

The Zerg and the Tapir once fought a great battle here, and the latter were defeated and fled.

However, in the memories of the tapirs, there was an opportunity here, but they didn't have time to take it away.

Unfortunately, by the time everyone arrived at the location, the opportunity had vanished.

This shouldn't be too surprising. Opportunities are inherently elusive; encountering one is lucky, and missing one isn't surprising either.

However, this was the last opportunity the Star Eater had promised the exploration team, and now it had all gone down the drain.

This is equivalent to the five-person group helping the Tapir clan kill a member who had left the body.

The three Star Tapir Grandmasters were at a loss for words and could only awkwardly admit that there had indeed been an opportunity here before.

Ratan even suggested that, if all else fails, they should use that opportunity that they had previously looked down upon to settle the debt.

That place is densely populated with insect nests. Originally, Star Tapir was a little reluctant to leave, but now it can't care about that anymore.

“You don’t need to worry about that,” Jin Ge Zhenxian said with a dark face. “Latan, lead the way to the last place.”

Qu Jianlei suddenly spoke up, "How about we capture another batch of Zerg prisoners first?"

The spiritual energy here is still abundant, so a large number of insectoids remain, and there are also several obvious insect nests.

"Should we catch them again?" Jin Ge Zhenxian glanced at him thoughtfully. Low-level insects could provide too little information.

He didn't mind taking action, since the more he captured, the more information he would be able to gather.

But this kind of repetitive operation... no matter how you look at it, it does feel a bit boring.

The key issue is that the chances of obtaining more information are extremely low.

"Go ahead and arrest them," Han Li Zhenzun suddenly said. "Min Ning, you and Xiao Qu stay here. The three of us will make our move."

His decision to have Minning Zhenzun stay was naturally intended to protect Qu Jianlei.

After all, the Star Tapir's thought process is too strange, and it might suddenly act up again at any time.

“I’ll go catch a few too,” Rajan Dazun volunteered, clearly still trying to curry favor with the cultivators.

There's no other way; the relationship has become so strained that it's necessary to extend a gesture of goodwill.

“Then…” Grandmaster Raul looked at Ratan, “together?”

Grandmaster Ratan hesitated for a moment, then slowly nodded, "Alright."

"Hey," Han Li Zhenzun shook his head upon seeing this, not knowing what it meant.

With six Grand Venerables taking action together, the commotion will be considerable, making it unnecessary to try to sneak around and capture them.

Seeing them using their unique skills to capture the insectoids, Minning Zhenzun looked thoughtfully at Qu Jianlei, "You're... really ruthless!"

"I don't understand what you're saying," Qu Jianlei said innocently. "Isn't it right to capture more prisoners to gather information?"

“Hehe,” Minning Zhenzun chuckled dryly, “Han Li is indeed clever; he guessed what you were trying to do right away.”

"Please, Immortal Venerable, do not overinterpret this," Qu Jianlei said solemnly. "I just want to know about the entrance to the Zerg world."

The Grand Venerable's actions were indeed extraordinary; in just over ten minutes, he captured more than twenty Nascent Soul cultivators and nearly a hundred Insectoid Golden Core cultivators.

Then they walked away, leaving behind a mess.

The insectoid race here is in complete chaos. The appearance of six Great Venerables from other races is truly terrifying!

After a while, over a thousand of the most aggressive Zerg swarms exploded in a burst of fire.

In the vast expanse of space, more than a thousand explosion points radiated shock waves in all directions.

The chaotic Zerg were momentarily stunned. They knew very well that the God was angry!

The next moment, they all received a decree from the divine master: "Calm down, the enemy has already withdrawn!"

"What a mess! What kind of state is this? Anyone who dares to cause any more trouble will be killed without mercy!"

Upon hearing this, many Zerg members immediately calmed down.

Only a few older Nascent Soul cultivators felt a little strange: You were there just now, but you didn't offer any help!

Now that the other party has left, they dare to show their faces. A dignified god...aren't you feeling aggrieved?
After the group of five left, they reviewed the prisoners' memories once more.

The good news is that, because everyone has paid attention to the issue of cause and effect, no more prisoners have died inexplicably.

The bad news is that there are still no clues about the Zerg tunnel entrance—it truly feels like a blank in my memory.

Rajan, the Great Venerable, captured two Nascent Soul cultivators and several Golden Core cultivators. "Do you want them? Anyway, it's not really worth it for me to take them back."

"Keep it," True Venerable Hanli replied casually. "If we need prisoners, we'll go and capture them ourselves!"

His words clearly signaled a clear separation – from now on, we'll all go our separate ways!
However, Rajan didn't dare to argue and could only awkwardly say, "It would boost morale if I took it back, but your side has priority!"

Minning Zhenzun waved his hand and said indifferently, "Then you should boost morale. We don't care."

Then he looked at Ratan, "Alright, now it's your turn to come with us. The other two can go back!"

This last place is a place of opportunity known only to Ratan; Raru and Rajan have no need to get involved.

But after a moment's thought, Ratan spoke up, "Can't the two of them come along and see for themselves?"

"Is that really necessary?" Jin Ge Zhenxian asked coldly. "Are you afraid that news of our opportunity won't get out?"

“That’s not what I meant…” Grandmaster Ratan said awkwardly, “They’re both still young and should broaden their horizons.”

“There’s no need to force it,” Minning Zhenzun said coldly. “It’s worried that if we don’t get another chance, we’ll kill it to vent our anger.”

“Well… not quite,” Grand Master Ratan said hesitantly. “Well, I must help you all find your opportunities!”

That's what they said, but without a doubt, Min Ning's guess is 80% accurate!

Rajan and Laru, who were still hesitant, immediately said that they really wanted to go and see for themselves after hearing this.

They didn't think the cultivators would kill Ratan, but if there was no opportunity, Ratan would definitely be in trouble.

In that situation, they should be able to put in a good word for you.

"I don't know why you two are getting involved," Jin Ge Zhenxian muttered unhappily.

He then added, "You can follow, but the cooperative relationship between the two parties... is over!"
