Chapter 1111

The howling gale swept up the rubble.

Above the continually rising dust clouds in the distance, the overcast sky brewed a storm.

Lin An stared fixedly at Chu An's eyes, never having craved a confirming answer so intensely.

"Boom—crack!"

The first bolt of lightning, like a spreading river, flashed from the leaden clouds and briefly illuminated their profiles.

After a long silence, Chu An hesitantly spoke:

"In theory, it's possible.."

Lin An's heart lurched, and the resolute expression in his eyes quickly faded.

"In theory.."

Whenever this word appears, it usually means denial.

Seeing Lin An somewhat downcast, Chu An sighed and began to explain earnestly:

"Let me first answer your question about emotional transmission.."

"Actually, you should be able to feel that this time's emotional power is far stronger than what you absorb in the real world. Not only because of faith, but mainly because this 'power comes from humans in the Amoeba Worm world.'"

"Essentially, you, having been injected with the Amoeba Worm original fluid, are their 'mother body,' and you can almost perfectly absorb emotions."

"But humans in the real world are different, and their emotions are too chaotic."

"I still lack.. some completion of the Amoeba Worm transformation agent. This means that, for now, I cannot turn real‑world humans into your 'sub‑body' in reality."

Having caught the key information, Lin An's eyes flickered and he asked quickly:

"If it's impossible in reality, then in future battles, could we open a space gate each time?"

Although I don't know why Chu An wants to answer about the Causal Sequence later, for Lin An all he needs is to re‑enact that power just now.

Recalling that power just now, he felt an almost infinite yearning.

Even if only for a day… no, a few hours! I am confident I could wipe out all mutants in the Huaxia war zone—including the alien species!

Under that power, my speed could certainly reach an unimaginable level!

He shook his head; Chu An showed a wry smile, and compared to his own body, Zhang Tie's wry smile appeared more human:

"Repeatedly opening it is impossible.. the cost.. is great.."

"Actually, this time is truly dangerous."

"I didn't wait until the last moment to open the space gate for you; I've been preparing since you entered the Qinghai war zone."

Picking up two stones from the ground, Chu An placed them in his palm and slowly brought them together:

"The real world and the Amoeba Worm world are two dimensions; to open it in the real world I must first locate and then pull."

It's just like being on the sea, two worlds are two ships. In between is the endless, flowing waves.

Positioning is simpler; we just need to use Zhang Tie's body as the coordinate, then reactivate the instance world. In between, Zhang Tie must stay in one place motionless for a few minutes. That's also why I only 'opened the door' at the end.

Actually, if it were even a few seconds later, everything might be too late.

Chu An sighed and put down the stone:

Pulling the amoeba worm world over, however, requires a huge amount of energy. Just like a ship moving forward, we must push the entire world across the Sea of Dimensions.

A huge amount.. of energy?

His eyes narrowed, and Lin An instinctively asked:

How much is a huge amount? Can we replenish it?

He doesn't fear the cost; he fears being unable to solve it. Long'an Base currently stores a lot of energy, and he can also get some from other war zones. We'll just gather some and top it up.

Hearing Lin An's question, Chu An calmly replied:

The meaning of a huge amount...

If we take Long An's current reserves as one unit, we would need about 1×10^12, i. e., 1 trillion (10^12) Long An units.

If we convert it to the spiritual energy in your body, it's roughly equivalent to creating 780 trillion copies of you, which would be about enough to fill the entire Earth and its atmosphere...

The solid kind..

After saying that, Chu An forced a smile, as if he didn't care about the expended energy, like a consolation, earnestly staring at the dazed Lin An:

Although the consumption is indeed huge, being able to save you makes it all worthwhile.

On the spiritual energy fighter, Yun Tian curiously gazed at the continually silent and somewhat lost Lin An, while patiently waiting for Lin An to regain his senses, like an old monk entering meditation, regarding Zhang Tie seated opposite; after muttering a few words under his breath, he continued piloting the fighter.

Sitting in his seat, even though more than ten minutes had passed, Lin An still couldn't digest the news just heard.

Seven hundred eighty trillion... an unimaginable astronomical figure.

At this moment, he actually felt some regret, his emotions complex to the point of being indescribable. If he had known the cost was this great, he would have gone mad to come here now to hunt the Corpse Emperor!

If this energy were used to enhance the Awakened Ones, wouldn't it be able to flatten the Apocalypse in a split second!?

Worth it! How could this be worth it!?

After a long wait, Chu An seemed to see Lin An's feelings, and merely calmly spoke again:

Don't worry about these.

The energy is provided by the Black Tower controlled by Klein; actually, it's not that much. Think about how the Black Tower can sustain an instance world's species evolution for tens of thousands of years, and you'll realize this energy isn't actually that much.

Moreover, there's nothing to regret about. This energy cannot be absorbed, let alone converted into spiritual energy.

It's like gasoline and charcoal; if it can't serve you, it's meaningless.

Actually, being able to pull an instance world near real-world coordinates already consumes so little it's like a miracle. If it weren't for Zhang Tie being able to serve as the coordinate, even multiplying this number by a hundred million times would still make it impossible.

Hearing Chu An's consolation, Lin An felt somewhat better, and slowly lifted his head.

So, the energy in the Black Tower can no longer support the next move, right?

He no longer even thought about replenishing it.

What a joke... even if all of humanity were poured into the spiritual energy tower, the energy produced wouldn't be enough to open the spatial gate again.

He nodded, Chu An habitually raised his hand:

"In theory, it could still be used once, but after using it again, the amoeba worm world couldn't remain stable."

"As our granary, my suggestion is to abandon this."

"Not only that, your current body cannot withstand Fifth Stage power anymore."

His eyes narrowed, Lin An blurted out:

"What exactly are Fifth Stage and Fourth Stage?"

"Why do you say I can't withstand it?"
