Chapter 1775: Detonating the Black Thread 1

Black mist roiled and surged.

At the edge of the deathly silent black mist, the flashing dark-purple light, like a cold candle in a winter night, illuminated the face of the Xu Kong Chong Mu.

The purple light flickered rapidly in her eyes.

The incessantly flashing void coordinates now seemed to waver like her heart.

Even if Hei Di didn't say much, she could still sense how anxious he was at this moment.

Should we initiate the transfer?

Her heart was filled with turmoil.

According to her agreement with Hei Di, once the coordinates on her hand lit up, she had to activate the transfer!

The light flashed steadily, meaning the plan was going smoothly!

She only needed to bring that person over, then wait for Hei Di to find a chance to meet up with her!

But if the light burst into flashes...

... it would mean a major crisis had arisen!

Not only would Hei Di follow the transfer, but they also needed to immediately shift their positions to avoid the pursuit of other Star‑Destroyers!

Although she didn't know why the plan had gone wrong, nor what had happened in the center of the battlefield,

it was obvious that the situation was extremely dire.

Hei Di wasn't just dealing with a failed plan—he was at a life‑or‑death juncture! Otherwise, that old fox would never be urging her!

"Empress!? Aren't we going to initiate the transfer!?"

"Insect Mother, what are you hesitating for!? Hurry up and start the transfer!!"

Both sides asked anxiously.

Above the black mist, the Void Insect Clan and Hei Di's subordinates gathered around her, all watching her nervously.

Using void coordinates to transfer is one of the Void Insect Clan's most important innate abilities!

Although the fixed location makes it easy to track, it is nevertheless a key innate ability of the Void Insect Clan's juvenile form, allowing it to spread across multiple planets!

As long as one possesses void power within, they can initiate a transfer ignoring the Space Seal!

To this end, Hei Di even sacrificed half of his people, taking many Void Insects from her for "sacrifice."

Yet, faced with the urgent urging of Hei Di's subordinates, the Xu Kong Chong Mu seemed to have made up her mind, a flash of ruthlessness crossing her heart.

Should we send Hei Di back?

No!

That old fox is ruthless and will stop at nothing to achieve his goals!

Although they claim to be cooperating, the Xu Kong Chong Mu knows full well she is being forced; she dares not trust a single word of Hei Di's so‑called promises!

If Hei Di were unharmed, perhaps she would still be wary and only able to cooperate obediently.

After all, her strength is the weakest...

But...

"Bringing him back would not only make Hei Di a threat—I'd also have to face others hunting me later! That old fox must have been discovered!"

Don't save Hei Di—let that old bastard die!

Of course, it's not that she won't save him; she simply cannot send Hei Di to her location, for if he did, he would surely reveal her position before dying and drag her down with him!

The thought was decided quickly; gripping the crystal in her hand, the Xu Kong Chong Mu unhesitatingly adjusted the frequency and forcibly altered the original coordinates.

Even after making up her mind, the turmoil in the Mother's eyes did not fade.

What truly made her hesitate was not Hei Di.

"That one... what should I do!?"

On the coordinates, the void power representing Lin An had already been triggered; with just a thought, this Shatter Star‑level expert would appear before her!

Knowing that Hei Di dared to have her bring Lin An back meant he must be capable of killing him; at this moment, the Xu Kong Chong Mu felt she was facing a tremendous temptation!

Hei Di's judgment was probably correct, and it had indeed succeeded!

This also meant that he had likely been forced to reveal all his trump cards and could not even escape!

(Monopolizing the reward! The reward for killing a Shatter Star by surpassing one's level!)

Her face flushed, her breathing slightly ragged.

Just thinking about the reward for slaying a Shatter Star, the Xu Kong Nü Huang trembled all over with excitement, barely able to keep her composure!

As long as she sent Lin An back to kill him, then sent Hei Di off to some random place...

... she would be the biggest winner of this mission! Not to mention boosting her strength—her entire civilization would rise!

With such a tremendous opportunity before her, how could she not be moved!

But...

Danger and opportunity coexist!

The Xu Kong Nü Huang clenched her fists tightly, her eyes full of turmoil, that silver light flashing repeatedly in her mind!

"The Silver Star‑level domain... that's a Silver Star level!"

"Could there be a trap!? Could there still be problems!? Is it really possible to kill a Silver Star‑level monster so easily?"

Lin An probably couldn't even imagine how terrifying his exposed Omniscience Domain was to the Xu Kong Chong Mu.

To gamble or not to gamble!?

"Insect Mother!? Why aren't you... "

"Boom!!!"

Before Hei Di's Fifth Stage subordinate could anxiously speak again, the Xu Kong Nü Huang, whose heart was already torn between heaven and man, instantly flew into a rage and struck out.

Her slender right hand, like a sharp dagger, suddenly pierced the head of that Fifth Stage; she erupted in violence, killing him instantly, and the Hei Di people's expressions changed dramatically in shock.

Worm mother!? You want to betray...!?

Bang bang! Bang! bang!

The rules representing the Star-Destroying Level suddenly erupted.

Gazing at the masses of Hei Di people she had instantly slain, at this very moment the Void Empress's eyes were ice-cold, her vivid red lips slightly parted, and she coldly spat out the order to kill everyone.

The Hei Di people's unconscious question was like the final straw that broke the camel's back.

Faced with reward and life, the Void Worm Mother ultimately chose the latter.

She was too terrified; she truly couldn't forget the shock brought by that glint of silver light, nor could she forget the last glance Lin An gave her.

He had clearly noticed her, yet he couldn't be bothered to pay attention.

It was as if he treated her like roadside weeds, indifferently ignoring her.

Such a supreme powerhouse would absolutely not be so easily killed by them—even if there were more problems!

Soon.

Perhaps after making a resolute decision, there was no need for inner struggle.

At this moment, the Void Empress's heart unexpectedly felt light.

Hei Di had left her enough clansmen; her mission was already complete.

Rather than taking a risky gamble, perhaps letting An'an live steadily to the end would be the best choice.

Her resolve was firm.

The worm mother took a deep breath and, without hesitation, began to manipulate the void coordinates.

Just as she was changing the coordinates, she seemed to suddenly think of something; after a brief hesitation, she moved the purple light representing Lin An to another place.

That old Hei Di coot, she intended to casually send him to a place where void power existed.

But that person's words...

I might be able to hide? Hide somewhere I know? Even at the final moment it would be fine... maybe...!

Maybe!?

No one knows what choice the Void Worm Mother made at this moment.

With the successive lighting of two dark purple beams, in the unseen depths, it was as if the gears of fate turned silently.
