Technological advancement begins with devouring.

"Simply put, that's the situation."

After explaining his plans, Jiang Chen concluded, "If everything goes smoothly, we should be able to eliminate the World Beasts within a few dozen or a hundred epochs. Of course, there might be a few that slip through the net, but as long as a True God-level expert has a complete set of supreme treasures, it shouldn't be too difficult for them to survive against a small number of World Beasts."

After a pause, Jiang Chen emphasized, "The most dangerous period is the time when I'm fighting the World Beast!"

According to the intelligence Jiang Chen possessed, the Beasts of the Realm were mostly concentrated deep within the Inclined Peak Realm and had not ventured out.

However, the area of ​​the Peak Realm is simply too vast; even a single 'Dark Land' is an incredibly expansive space.

Jiang Chen couldn't guarantee that he could capture all the World Beasts in one fell swoop.

Given the number and strength of the Beasts of the Realm, coupled with the environment of the Dark Land, it is quite normal for a small number of them to slip through the net.

Jiang Chen wasn't afraid of the Beasts of the Realm fighting him to the death; he was afraid that the Beasts of the Realm would realize they were no match for him, scatter in all directions, and flee into the Cosmic Sea.

If that were the case, Jiang Chen himself wouldn't be afraid, but the other powerful members of the human race would be in great danger if they wanted to go out.

"We'll stay in the primordial universe, or our own small universe, until you finish dealing with this." The Chaos City Lord knew very well that they couldn't be of much help in dealing with the World Beasts; all they could do was not hold them back.

Luo Feng, however, was eager to try, saying, "Ah Chen, I'll go too. I have the Star Tower, so I'll be safe. With my strength, I think I can still be of some use."

Jiang Chen gave Luo Feng a strange look, then nodded and said, "Go if you want to. I'll let them know."

"Say hello to them? What do you mean?" Luo Feng was taken aback.

He could tell that Jiang Chen didn't seem to have any intention of going to the battlefield himself.

"Come to my universe in a bit," Jiang Chen said without elaborating.

After a while of further discussion, the clan was informed of various matters concerning dealing with the Beast of the Realm, and the Giant Axe Conference came to an end.

In short, the message is: stay put in your original universe or miniature universe and don't go out or cause trouble.

Wait until the World Beast Calamity is over before going out to have some fun.

……

Jiang Chen's inner universe.

Luo Feng arrived as agreed, just in time to find Jiang Chen's army fully equipped and ready to set off.

After the original will of the primordial universe was destroyed, Jiang Chen brought the army of the Jin world back to the primordial universe.

The overwhelming mechanical army was breathtaking even with just one glance.

The faint killing intent gave Luo Feng a feeling that if this army were to attack him, he probably wouldn't even last a breath.

Even the "Undying River" secret technique from the "Severed East River Legacy" was useless, unable to revive him successfully.

As a powerful army meticulously built by Jiang Chen over many years, the Mechanical Legion does indeed possess such capabilities.

The mechanical legion currently has no good way to deal with those extremely rare and powerful resurrection abilities.

However, the mechanical legion can completely prevent some basic resurrection methods, such as creating clones.

By connecting through 'cause and effect', all the clones, blood, etc., containing the target's 'soul fragments' can be destroyed together.

This is not a very difficult thing.

Among the many resurrection methods in the Origin Continent, the "River of Immortality" inherited by Duan Donghe can only be considered to be of relatively low quality.

It can't compare to the resurrection at the 'Birth Sanctuary' at all.

"The Beasts of the Realm will constantly fight amongst themselves, but when faced with an external enemy, all the Beasts of the Realm will unite, completely trusting each other and not holding each other back. Some Beasts of the Realm will even sacrifice themselves for victory. In this state, the Beasts of the Realm can be seen as the most perfect army." Jiang Chen glanced at Luo Feng and explained, "To deal with an army, you naturally need an army to deal with it. You don't think that individual strong individuals can play a significant role when facing such an army, do you?"

Luo Feng didn't understand what Jiang Chen meant by all this, so he frowned and asked, "You don't want me to go?"

“No, that’s not it.” Jiang Chen shook his head and explained, “I just wanted to say that your idea of ​​using battles with world beasts to hone your skills might not be as effective as you think.”

In the original novel, Luo Feng killed a large number of world beasts at once, but he did not actually undergo any particularly effective 'tempering'.

Instead, it was the power of the 'Source' of the supreme treasure 'Chaos Golden Wings' that wiped out most of the World Beasts in one go.

What kind of training or improvement effect can this kind of battle have on one's own strength?

Although Jiang Chen does not follow the traditional cultivation system, he still has a considerable understanding of it.

This so-called 'tempering' wasn't even a formality and brought Luo Feng no benefit whatsoever.

However, it is Luo Feng's own business to participate in this battle, and Jiang Chen will not stop him.

As long as it doesn't interfere with the mechanical legion's normal combat operations.

As for Luo Feng's trump card, the 'Chaotic Golden Wings,' there's no need to use it in this situation.

"Aren't you going by yourself?" Luo Feng asked, recalling what happened at the Giant Axe Conference.

"With the mechanical legion around, I don't need to get involved." Jiang Chen shook his head, indicating that he wouldn't participate.

The past calamity of the Beast Realm brought Jiang Chen immense psychological pressure.

Because he knew too much, even when Jiang Chen was still very weak, he was always worried that after the World Beast was born, if Luo Feng's future was changed because of him and he lost the ability to fight against the World Beast, the entire universe sea would be wiped out by the World Beast, and he himself would not be able to escape.

However, as his strength increased, Jiang Chen gradually stopped taking the Beasts of the Realm seriously.

Compared to the massive 'war' in the Jin world, the threat of the world beasts was no different from a child's game in Jiang Chen's eyes.

The mechanical legion doesn't even need to go all out; sending just one squad would be enough to annihilate the World Beasts.

"The Zerg Legion's weakness in 'will' is obvious. You shouldn't participate in this extermination of the World Beasts."

Jiang Chen said this to the Zerg Queen.

Realm Beasts are life forms with extremely comprehensive abilities, excelling in all aspects, including physical attacks, soul attacks, and even willpower attacks.

Of course, this is in comparison to the absolute best among the top tier of true gods.

Before the birth of the Beast King, even the most powerful Beast was not powerful enough to break through the limits of a True God.

However, within the realm of true gods, world beasts can be said to be 'flawless'.

On the contrary, when dealing with the Beast of the Realm, if you have any slight weakness, the Beast of the Realm will take advantage of it and defeat you.

The Zerg army is indeed very strong, but the biggest flaw of this 'swarm'-like life form lies in its 'will'.

The swarm consciousness is a very powerful 'consciousness group' as a whole, but when it is dispersed among each Zerg war beast, their will is very weak compared to enemies of the same level.

If the enemy is skilled in mind control techniques, they can easily wipe out large swarms of Zerg.

Jiang Chen has always positioned the Zerg Legion as a 'substitute' for the Mechanical Legion, intending to use it only in specific situations, and this is also based on this consideration.

The inherent flaws of life are difficult to completely avoid.

Even if we try to find ways to compensate, the flaws will still exist, and there will always be opportunities for the enemy to exploit them.

"Yes, Overlord." The Zerg Queen agreed, but a hint of resentment lingered in her eyes.

As a soul servant, she hoped to solve more problems for Jiang Chen and be 'more useful' to him.

However, the Zerg Queen was also well aware of the Zerg Legion's weaknesses. She knew that if she insisted on fighting against the World Beasts, it would not end well and would only cause Jiang Chen to suffer more unnecessary losses.

This situation left the Zerg Queen feeling extremely resentful.

"The solution to remedy the Zerg Legion's weaknesses is now in your hands." Jiang Chen saw through the Zerg Queen's mood and, instead of offering words of comfort, assigned her a task: "You could optimize the mainframe's capabilities, such as giving it the ability to apply 'will protection' to its legions. Try to work in that direction."

Upon hearing Jiang Chen's words, the Zerg Queen's eyes lit up, and she immediately showed a thoughtful expression.

She has been learning all kinds of knowledge and technology that Jiang Chen taught her, and she is definitely a top researcher in the fields of genes and biological weapons.

As soon as Jiang Chen proposed this idea, the Zerg Queen was immediately filled with inspiration. She couldn't wait to go into the laboratory and seclude herself to realize all the ideas in her mind.

……

Luo Feng did not linger.

He didn't change his mind and still decided to contribute to the fight against the Beast Realm.

However, after seeing the army that Jiang Chen had assembled to deal with the World Beasts, Luo Feng silently gave up the idea of ​​using the 'Chaos Golden Wings' as a trump card.

Dealing with the Beast of the Realm is no longer a matter of life and death, but a slightly risky trial.

Jiang Chen didn't spend much time or effort on this matter.

He allocated a legion, assigned a group of 'commanders' to lead it, and then stopped paying attention to it.

A densely packed mechanical army marched into the Peak Realm, heading towards the 'Dark Land' deep within its core.

They traveled in a grand and imposing manner, without any intention of keeping a low profile or concealing their whereabouts.

With the Beast Realm's control over the Inclined Peak Realm, it immediately sensed that something was wrong.

"How could the Cosmic Sea have such a terrifying army?!"

In the 'special channel' used by the Beasts to communicate with each other, one Beast exclaimed in surprise: "According to the description in the inherited memories, isn't the Cosmic Sea very weak, allowing us to devour it at will?!"

As beings born representing the 'rules of destruction', the World Beasts possess an extremely high level of life. They are born with 'inherited memories' bestowed by the rules, and know many secrets of this world.

This is different from the inherited memories of 'divine beasts' such as the Golden Horned Beast and the Flame Star Beast. It even contains a lot of information related to the 'Origin Continent', and the supreme rules will not actively block these contents in the memories of the World Beast.

Each of the Beasts of the Realm has never doubted the information in its own memories.

Because they learned from inherited memories that the 'Cosmic Sea is extremely weak', they firmly believed this and did not even bother to inquire about the Cosmic Sea. From the very beginning, they fought each other in the 'Dark Land' deep within the Peak Realm, trying to become the 'King of Realm Beasts' and then sweep across the Cosmic Sea with an invincible force, devouring a large amount of its essence.

Initially, the Beasts didn't take the mechanical legion's presence seriously when they discovered it.

However, when the first World Beast was killed by the mechanical legion, the remaining World Beasts became vigilant, and some even took the initiative to investigate.

However, without exception, all the Beasts that approached the mechanical legion perished without a sound, without even sending out any information before their deaths, indicating that they were killed instantly without even a chance to react.

One head, two heads, ten heads, a hundred heads...

When hundreds of Beasts died under the attack of the mechanical legion, one Beast finally sent back a scene before it died.

Countless massive war fortresses rapidly advanced into the depths of the dark land.

Wherever they went, they left behind armies composed entirely of various machines, which dispersed in all directions.

It was as if a giant net had been cast, intending to completely surround the dark land and capture all the world beasts within it.

Realizing the opponent's strength and intentions, all the Beasts went berserk, ceasing their fighting and quickly gathering together, ready to wage war against the Mechanical Legion.

However, the two sides were not even on the same level in terms of combat capabilities.

A Beast of the Realm is roughly equivalent to a True God.

If one can devour enough of their own kind and advance to the third or fourth tier, they will likely be comparable to the most powerful true gods in the universe.

Of course, this does not refer to beings like Jiang Chen and Luo Feng who have surpassed their own level, but rather to 'True God Limit' powerhouses who are in the same tier as the Primordial Ancestor and the Giant Axe Founder.

A True God at the pinnacle, equipped with a complete set of supreme treasures perfectly suited to their abilities, can defeat a third-tier World Beast.

If equipped with a complete set of top-tier 'Mechanical Flow Treasures' and supplemented with various unique skills from the Origin Continent, such as the 'Divine Power Burning Secret Technique', one can survive attacks from fourth-tier world beasts.

As for fifth- and sixth-tier world beasts, their combat power doesn't increase much; the main improvement is in their ability to survive.

Even for a top-tier True God with numerous extraordinary trump cards, killing a fifth-tier World Beast would be virtually impossible.

Of course, the current World Beasts have not yet evolved into fifth-tier beings.

A billion world beasts fight and devour each other, taking an extremely long time and resulting in the death of a large number of their 'kin' before a fifth-tier world beast can be born.

Because each Realm Beast is roughly equal in strength when it is first born, and can sense the location of all other Realm Beasts, tactics such as sneak attacks and ambushes become ineffective.

If one side is outmatched and wants to escape, the other side will find it difficult to stop them.

Before the gap in strength between them widened, it was quite normal for no Beast to die during the long years of battle.

However, if an exceptionally powerful Realm Beast is born, the other weaker Realm Beasts may unite to deal with that powerful one.

The Beasts of the Realm were born at the beginning of this cycle of time, and there are still over 100 million Beasts of the Realm remaining.

The strongest of the realm beasts have only recently entered the fourth rank, and are still a long way from the fifth rank.
