National Games: Hang up from the zombie apocalypse

"I need to get a closer look."

As Wei Qian spoke, he stepped into the cave and approached the central void source step by step.

Fang Heng stared at Wei Qian, his brows furrowed slightly.

He's very strong!

The Primordial Pearl was right in front of the Source of the Void, constantly radiating outwards in visible concentric rings of oppressive power.

Wei Qian completely ignored this fluctuation.

Fang Heng could do it too, but it would be extremely difficult for him.

Wei Qian stopped more than two hundred meters away from the source of the void, observed intently for a moment, shook his head, and said, "The situation is not good."

"Oh? What do you mean?"

"Crimson Feather is a special pollutant. After the pollutant enters the Void Source, it gradually merges with the Void Source. It does not simply absorb, but gradually devours the power of the Void Source and merges with itself. Once the two powers are completely merged, the Crimson Feather will fully awaken."

"It is now in the later stages, and it is only one step away from complete integration."

Wei Qian continued to observe the state of Crimson Feather and said, "The Void Clan has realized that they cannot control Crimson Feather, which is why they used sealing power to keep it sealed in its current state."

"The best option I can think of is to find a way to reseal it, maintain its original state, and then awaken it again once a solution is found."

Wei Qian looked at the surrounding seals again and frowned, saying, "The seals set up by the Void Clan have been destroyed by those two people. Moreover, stimulated by the Void Pearl, the Crimson Feather has been awakened and has become very active."

“Fang Heng, although I know some alchemy and sealing techniques, I am completely unfamiliar with the language and alchemical system of the Void Clan. I will need your help to restore the seal… We need to hurry, otherwise there may be even bigger trouble…”

"Don't rush."

As Fang Heng spoke, he took a few steps forward, examining the Source of the Void, and asked, "You mean that some kind of creature is being nurtured within the Source of the Void, and that it is devouring and fusing with the power of the Source of the Void? Is that a fair interpretation?"

"Yes, that's right."

Fang Heng stroked his chin, then shifted his gaze to the Primordial Pearl beside him.

He came looking for the Primordial Pearl.

The Primal Pearl is currently intact; we can simply take it with us.

Whether or not the Void Source can be obtained is less important; it's more of a bonus.

Take what you can.

If you can't get it, so be it.

"Isn't there any other way? Like completely destroying that creature?"

"They are already in a highly integrated state. If we destroy them, the Source of the Void will also be affected and completely dissipate. In that case, it would be a greater loss than gain."

"Hehe...fusion..."

Fang Heng couldn't help but chuckle.

Integration and absorption?

The Crimson Feather did sound impressive, but Fang Heng was certain that it had not yet fully evolved its own consciousness and was far inferior to the Seed of Ouroboros, which had evolved over a long period of time.

Fusion is something Ouroboros has already mastered.

Fang Heng knows this thing's weaknesses best.

"I sensed the power of hell emanating from it. Is the Crimson Feather related to hell?"

"The origin of the Crimson Feather is a mystery, but I believe it is a kind of alien monster that has merged with the abyss of hell."

“That makes things simple.” Fang Heng shrugged and continued, “Starting from this point, since it is based on the power of hell and wants to absorb the energy of the source of the void to complete its power transformation, we might as well take the initiative to feed it some food.”

"Ok?"

Wei Qian blinked a few times, puzzled. "Feed them? What do you mean? How do I do that?"

"The fusion state is a state of balance. Crimson Feather spent so much time trying to balance this state by injecting more Hell Origin Power or Void Origin Power into it, completely breaking its current fusion balance."

"what……"

This was the first time Wei Qian had heard this kind of statement. It felt like a new world had been opened up for him. He lowered his head and pondered, muttering to himself.

"That is indeed the case in theory."

Following Fang Heng's train of thought, Wei Qian thought for a moment and then said, "But Fang Heng, the power of the Void Source is already extremely thin. We can't find any more Void Source power to feed him. Moreover, we don't know how much more Void energy the Crimson Feather needs to absorb before it disrupts the fusion balance."

"No, it will require a lot of void energy."

Fang Heng had already thought of this, and said calmly, "We just need to add something to the feed, and it probably won't be able to tell the difference with its abilities."

Wei Qian opened his mouth.

Oh, right, there's another way!
Crimson Feather has not yet evolved to the point of having self-awareness. After being artificially placed into the Void Source, it will only continue to devour and merge with the power of the Void Source according to its biological instincts.

In other words, he is not yet able to distinguish whether there are problems with the energy absorbed and fused.

Minor problems can be eliminated after absorption by the Crimson Feather itself, and at worst, it will take a little more time to fuse slowly. However, if they deliberately create some more troublesome problems, the fusion progress of the Crimson Feather will be greatly prolonged, and it may even collapse completely as a result!
A very good strategy.

The fact that Fang Heng could think of this much shows that his understanding of creatures like the Crimson Feathers is probably even greater than his own.

Wei Qian secretly praised him.

In just a few moments, Wei Qian quickly transformed Fang Heng's idea into an actionable plan.

He scratched the back of his head and looked at the Primordial Pearl beside him, saying, "Fang Heng, I understand what you mean. We just need to mix some energy with strong negative effects into the Primordial Pearl and try to get the Crimson Feather to absorb it. Even if it doesn't completely collapse, it will prolong the fusion time."

"Um... wait a minute."

Fang Heng raised his hand to interrupt.

Wei Qian looked puzzled: "Huh? What's wrong? Did I misunderstand?"

“The Primordial Pearl cannot be used as bait. I came here specifically to find the Primordial Pearl.”

As Fang Heng spoke, he glanced at the Primordial Pearl beside him.

The person who caused the crisis for the Void race was likely Ymir, the creator of the Black Mist Game.

Ymir plundered a portion of the power from the Void Source and crafted it into the Primal Orb.

It can indeed be confirmed that void energy exists within the Primordial Orb...

But is it worth taking a risk with the Primal Orb?

No!

It's not worth risking the Void Orb for such a small amount of Void Source.

"Oh."

Wei Qian seemed uninterested in the Primordial Pearl. He nodded, then thought for a moment and said, "That will be difficult. Primordial power is quite special and it is difficult to exist directly in the form of an energy body. I can barely condense a little bit, but it is not enough to mix in energy from other levels."

Fang Heng glanced at Wei Qian in surprise.

This guy can actually condense primordial power into the form of an energy body.
His control over the primordial power is even stronger than mine? (End of Chapter)
