Chapter 1396

The land of a death battle...

Muttering to oneself.

Although talking with Luosi wasted a lot of time, for Lin An, everything was worth it.

Alien Species, original humans, mutated humans, a portion of surviving zombies and mutants.

Under the melee of the four forces, he actually saw another path.

You mean, most of the high-level power in this world is actually in the Land of Death Battle?

Dominion-level Alien Species, and even more high-level Fourth Stage Alien Species, are in the Land of Death Battle?

He lightly exhaled, and Lin An couldn't help but glance outside the psychic shield, at the direction of the Death Battle Power mentioned by Luosi.

It was in the center of the ocean, and also when he entered a certain world, he saw a massive damaged spot. That place was as if the whole planet had been bitten, revealing a blood-red core.

Yes, but we don't even know the exact number.

We've been hiding here all along, and actually we don't know much either.

Luosi lightly nodded, her eyes blinking as she looked at Lin An.

Unlike those Fourth Stage powerhouses who emerged from countless life-and-death battles, as an original human, she not only has simple thinking, but also behaves a bit childishly.

The reason we stay in the Land of Death Battle is because we can no longer destroy the environment.

Withdrawing her curious gaze at Lin An, Luosi pointed at the ground, then at the sky.

As you can see, this world is about to be destroyed.

According to our elders, this planet can no longer maintain its own operation. If we continue fighting, the deviant core gravity will cause the planet to spin wildly like a top, and losing its final magnetic field gravity, the last things protecting our atmosphere and ionosphere will be flung out. Then, facing various high-energy cosmic rays, all life below the Fourth Stage will die....

So, about a hundred years ago... all high-level forces entered the Land of Death Battle.

There, it's probably a closed space; even if heaven collapses and earth splits, it won't affect the outside world.

After hearing the vague explanation, Lin An silently nodded; he could understand this point.

The destructive power of the Fourth Stage is too strong; just taking him as an example, given enough time he could alone destroy the surface, and if willing to spend time, he could probably dig through the core.

Therefore, for those high-level Fourth Stage and even Fourth Stage Peak lifeforms, destroying a continent in a single battle is possible.

If we keep fighting, the whole planet will be wrecked; in this situation, unable to negotiate or coexist, we naturally need to find a place to continue the battle.

Land of Death Battle, as the name suggests...

Just the fact that Luosi mentioned there were large numbers of Alien Species inside the Land of Death Battle instantly made him feel immense pressure.

These Fourth Stage beings outside are actually just reserve forces on standby rotation...

Perhaps for the Alien Species, this is all the force they can muster to surround and kill him, but Lin An knows that once the final moment arrives, these Alien Species will inevitably emerge from the Land of Death Battle.

But thinking about it, it's also normal.

Compared to Alien Species, Earth humans' talent is vastly inferior, yet in this situation, the first Fourth Stage beings could be born within at most three years.

Then, after enduring hundreds of years of apocalyptic disaster, with the Fei Yi Shijie never ceasing its slaughter, the Fourth Stage beings accumulated over such a long time naturally reached an extremely terrifying number.

If it weren't for the constant consumption of Fourth Stage beings inside the Land of Death Battle, Lin An would likely have faced millions of Fourth Stage attacks the moment he entered this world...

Just thinking about it is terrifying...

Power... so Fourth Stage is actually just cannon fodder...

He gave a self-deprecating smile, connecting the situation of the Heavenly Eye people, Lin An suddenly realized why, in this universal apocalypse, the Heavenly Eye people are so pessimistic, and why Clyde hiding in the Amoeba Worm World doesn't want to come out.

Their civilization's apocalypse progress is far higher than Earth's, and they clearly realize just how terrifying the apocalypse truly is...

Fourth Stage, this existence that appears on Earth like a deity, when placed in other civilizations, might just be high-level cannon fodder...

Can you contact the mutated humans inside the Land of Death Battle? Or rather, can they communicate?

Suppressing the heaviness in his heart, Lin An asked in a low voice.

Judging by the current situation, the mutated humans' strength far surpasses that of the Alien Species. If he could ally with the mutated humans, perhaps that would be the correct choice.

After all, both sides share a common enemy.

You want to find them?

Though not slow to react, Luosi noticed Lin An's desire to contact the mutated humans, but she almost instinctively shook her head.

Can't make contact, and I advise you not to go look for them.

They claim to be part of humanity, but in reality they're no different from monsters.

Long ago we severed ties with them. Actually, you can regard them as intelligent mutants who hate the Alien Species.

Like recalling a rumor she'd heard, although she had never seen mutated humans, her clan's elders had told her some things.

Mutated humans, do you know how they strengthen themselves?

They deliberately infect themselves with the zombie virus, then through some special means slow down the zombification process.

In this process, they strive to recover part of their memories, then strengthen themselves by consuming 'mutants'. After reaching the Third Stage, they officially become mutated humans.

You might not know, but zombies and mutants still exist in this world; I suspect they are 'farmed' by them!

That group of mutated humans is more monster-like than monsters... to become stronger, they even eat their own failed specimens!

As if unable to imagine that scene, Luosi's face showed fear, as she desperately urged Lin An not to contact them.

For revenge, to kill the Alien Species, these humans who abandoned everything chose to become existences more terrifying than monsters.

Therefore, in this situation, original humans who do not wish to become mutated naturally fear these former kin. Even to some extent, the mutated humans are the new monsters.

This is the battle between the two newly born monsters; their civilizations have already been completely exterminated....

Listening to Luosi's description, Lin An slightly froze.

For some reason, Luosi's description gave him a strange sense of familiarity.

So, actually, to survive... no, to continue, will every civilization walk the path of abandoning everything...

By consuming zombies and mutants, even becoming 'mutated humans'...

Isn't this the Corpse Emperor?

So...

So-called aberrant humans are actually tens of thousands, even millions of Zombie Emperors!?

Instantly recalling the abilities displayed by the Zombie Emperor, Lin An suddenly realized why the Aberrants could keep defeating the Alien Species.

The Mutants' power-increase speed is far greater than that of humans.

A third-rank Awakened One wants to increase their power, relying on killing same-level monsters, they can only absorb the spiritual energy processed by the system.

But monsters eating humans are different; the spiritual energy they gain from devouring flesh and blood far exceeds system experience.

But if that's the case.... what's the difference between aberrant humans and Alien Species?

Alien Species seem to lack the ability to devour their own kind; is that a limitation?

However, both are Mutants, both possess intelligence... and even both are humans...

His brows furrowed tightly.

Upon learning the information about the Aberrants, Lin An inexplicably felt an extremely strong sense of eeriness.

This is unreasonable.

Alien Species are the earliest batch to have split from Mutants, forming a completely new species, or at least they consider themselves a completely new species.

After killing large numbers of Zombies and Mutants, relying on their shared wisdom and memory, they formed a new group. Although essentially monsters, they also want to end this Apocalypse.

Similarly, Aberrants are humans who spontaneously turned into Mutants; aside from spontaneously becoming Mutants, their other experiences are almost the same as those of Alien Species.

So why are the two sides hostile?

Aberrants could completely join the Alien Species; there's no need to kill each other.

Is it because Aberrants carry humanity's hatred and seek revenge, while Alien Species no longer consider themselves human?

But looking at Luo Si's attitude, Aberrants obviously don't consider themselves human either...

The question is, where lies the problem?

Faintly, Lin An faintly felt that he had touched upon some great secret.

Moreover, regarding this secret, he actually had a strong sense of confusion.

It seems, it is related to him.
