World-saving Plan: The Only Savior

Chapter 1681 - 6: Radiant Violet Light (Part 2)

Of course, such a contest won’t last long. The Insect Race will prioritize using the heart energy network method for decision-making, which means duels between leaders, rather than meaningless large-scale internal slaughter to elect a new king.

However, the current space-bound swarm from the Insect Race shouldn’t have the chance to start the next Insect King selection, as Ziwei has already unleashed her big move.

This is her Star Pattern Talent’s special ability—Purple Glow Bloom.

This time, faced with a mighty swarm at level five, Ziwei fully exerted her ability, almost consuming her entire reserve of close to three hundred thousand units of Dark Spiritual Power.

On her forehead, between her brows, a purple flower pattern emitted a blazing light, as dazzling as a Constant Star.

Ziwei’s long hair fluttered, her body shone with brilliant purple light. She directed the terrifying energy aura into her hands, then hurled it toward the densest area of the insect swarm.

In reality, within the current environment, there was no sparse area within the swarm. Ziwei’s skill would hit the target even with her eyes closed.

Upon witnessing the familiar scene unfold again, Zhang Xiaoman couldn’t help but feel a surge of anticipation.

This move was the technique Ziwei used during the previous battle on the Moon, which cleared the then skies of the swarm.

Now, the same technique was unleashed again, and its power was as awe-inspiring as ever.

The first insect, struck by Ziwei’s purple light, dissolved upon first contact, then transformed into purple light, flying toward other insects.

Any swarm struck by the light would meet the same fate, transforming into more rays of purple light that shot toward other comrades.

One becomes two, two becomes four, four becomes eight, eight becomes sixteen...

Endless.

In an instant, the entire space was engulfed in one color. Within Zhang Xiaoman’s pupils, the vast sea of purple light seemed as if the universe had been reduced to this solitary color.

Such a spectacular scene left the Phantom Spirit People completely spellbound.

The vast interstellar swarm of insects was effortlessly dismantled under the assault of purple light. Any object touched by the purple glow, whether the common Scythe Insect or the massive Dominis Star Worm, would dissolve upon contact and transform into purple light aiming at other companions.

Since the Insect King forces had already been eliminated by Ziwei ahead of time, the swarm lacked the protection of high-level insects, allowing the purple glow’s power to reach its zenith.

Soon, the entire interstellar insect swarm was almost entirely consumed by the purple light. In this space, only a few scattered small insects remained afloat, looking listless and disoriented.

The free show spanning half a Constant Star System left Yadun and others already parched with thirst.

Of course, for their species, the organ known as "mouth" doesn’t exist, but this didn’t hinder their amazement. Their trembling bodies narrated the stormy tides within their hearts that felt endless.

Is this what the strength of a mighty Dark Spirit is?

This technique has far exceeded what Yadun and the others imagined. Such terrifying power, if it were their enemy, he felt he might utterly lose the courage to resist.

Fortunately, such an existence is not an adversary but an ally standing alongside them.

Now, Yadun felt confident in the Phantom Spirit Clan’s rebirth.

With such a powerful ally, eliminating the Insect Race shouldn’t be a challenge, right?

The key is, Yadun knew he had now become a follower of that existence, and even Ziwei was merely the deputy of that being. Just how powerful must the existence itself be?

Now, with that being’s guidance, as long as they train diligently, even if they can’t attain Ziwei’s prowess, they will undoubtedly become the strong warriors they once admired, eradicating those damn insects should be achievable.

At this moment, witnessing Ziwei’s annihilation of the swarm, the spirit among the Phantom Spirit Clan soared to unprecedented heights, filling them with confidence for the forthcoming revival plan.

Ziwei returned, delivering a main damage output in this battle, exterminating almost the entire swarm.

The reason some remained was out of fear of inadvertently harming the Hail warship, so the purple beams avoided relevant paths to some extent during ricochets.

Elsewhere, in the universe’s space, the swarm was already obliterated, but after waiting a while, Zhang Xiaoman discovered that the corrosive mist remained, meaning the Fog Heart was still alive.

However, due to the appearance of the Insect King earlier, Zhang Xiaoman already mostly knew the Fog Heart’s position, likely hidden in the area upfront.

He immediately ordered the Hail to fly over.

After being bestowed with a special life attribute, the operation of the Hail had essentially evolved into an entirely autonomous mode.

A starship with its own consciousness, requiring no command input and able to act on its own, left Li Xiang and other crew members bewildered, having never encountered such a scenario.

Ziwei stood by, drinking an energy beverage to recover her Dark Spiritual Power, while casting a peculiar gaze upon the scene.

"Ji Xing, are you sure there’s no issue with this ability? Why do I feel uneasy..."

Zhang Xiaoman glanced at her worried expression and quickly understood her point.

Ziwei’s concern stemmed from the existence form of the Hail being too reminiscent of the Beller drones in the Second Universe.

This is not merely an intelligent being but a truly existential life form.

The so-called intelligent lives ultimately only represent a performative self-awareness emanating from code, its essence reduced to an information-conscious stream.

The Beller drones are different. They have surpassed the intelligent being stage, becoming a brand-new life form.

They possess their own emotions, awareness, and the ability to reproduce, capable of evolving into a vast clan.

This is something intelligent beings can’t achieve.

Though they share similarities, they fundamentally differ.

These differences also constitute the research direction among many Dark Spirits in the Second Universe, though unfortunately, no progress has been made.

In the Second Universe, the Beller drones are as notorious as the Desert Worm Clan.

They have second-largest numbers, occupying an entire Star Domain.

Fortunately, unlike the Desert Worms, these drones lack aggressiveness. Although they hunt lives entering their Star Domain, they don’t actively leave it, merely preferring to be quiet miners on their turf.

In a sense, the current relatively stable and peaceful state of the Second Universe owes significant credit to the Beller clan of drones.

Because the contact between the Beller Star Domain and the Insect Domain is so extensive that conflicts between them are most frequent in the universe.

The Desert Worms like expanding their territory, while Beller drones detest territorial breach, leading these races to fight for countless millennia, mutually restraining and depleting each other, granting other races survival and development opportunities.

Indeed, calling these drones rightful contributors is not excessive.

Yet, this also attests to the strength of the Beller clan.

Now, Zhang Xiaoman in this realm has created an entity akin to the Beller drones, naturally making Ziwei, well-acquainted with the Bellier Clan’s might, feel pressured.
