Chapter 267: Battle of the Aliens (8)

God.

Luo Qi's heart jolted; his deep Yajian was screaming that something was wrong.

It was indeed wrong here. Luo Qi used his own Yajian to watch this world of memory, sunlight spilling over the top of the rainforest, Alien creatures living freely as if in their own homeland, as if in the Eden of Genesis...

This was abnormal. The sequence of this story should be: 1. One of the Ancestor Mages created the Seal Beasts and manufactured the Seal Magic. 2. About a thousand years ago, modern Mages inadvertently unlocked a portion of the Seal Beasts; the time this happened was roughly when the Qionglin Scavenger appeared. 3. Then, the Mages of Qionglin bred a portion of the Seal Beasts to keep for their own use, such as Qiongqi.

What Luo Qi was prepared to see was where these Seal Beasts were kept in their daily lives, who had come into contact with them, and how many secrets of the Mages, which Luo Qi did not know, they had witnessed...

But now, just looking at this state of free-range, it was very abnormal. Such free-range was absolutely unfavorable for controlling Seal Beasts. Luo Qi could not imagine what kind of Mage would have the guts to raise high-intelligence creatures in such an open place. Life would always find a way to break through; creatures with complex logical abilities would always have the possibility of finding ways to bypass the Mages' magic restraints. Perhaps some arrogant Mages felt that Magic was omnipotent, but Luo Qi knew that Magic always had loopholes. He still remembered the bar that Mahjong had once taken him to; the legendary access control magic that required two people to pass, Du Zhengyi had discovered the trick was simply measuring temperature. In fact, all Magic was densely woven "if-thens"; the more complex the Magic, the more likely it was to find paradoxes and loopholes. And as for the actual situation here, as long as two Alien creatures walked out of this uninhabited rainforest, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Unless... unless... Luo Qi's heartbeat quickened, unless right now, in this world within the memory, there were no humans yet, unless the Mages of the world right now still possessed supreme magical power, and restraining Alien creatures was as natural as breathing.

Unless... Luo Qi had encountered the first-generation Seal Beast.

Unless, what Luo Qi was about to see was the Progenitor Mage.

Anger swept through the Seal Beast's memory, mixed with arrogant fury and disgust. When this thunder-like emotion swept past, Luo Qi's heart was full of the excitement and joy of potentially seeing the Progenitor Mage. His own body's emotions and the primary emotions of this Alien creature right now were completely contradictory, and mixed together, they almost pushed Luo Qi out of this memory.

He hurriedly controlled his emotions, adjusting his Yajian to be more stable. Books said that a Mind Mage's emotions must always remain stable; only Battle Mages like Du Zhengyi had the right to rage and ecstasy. As it turned out, Du Zhengyi looked much more stable than him; now Du Zhengyi was fully qualified to scold him for not studying properly. He never imagined that the dry, stale language about self-cultivation written in the textbooks was actually not nonsense. The intense, chaotic emotions just now had made his head ache, and his Yajian, connected to thousands of souls, had almost lost its balance. Although he had managed to stabilize himself, he feared there would still be a price to pay. Right now he couldn't feel the price yet; the price would likely all be exacted upon his physical body.

When it came down to it, his Yajian was too powerful now, but his body's capacity to bear it was very limited; after all, his body was generally designed to be paired with only one brain. Luo Qi secretly stuck his tongue out at himself, bubbling a few Slime bubbles.

His Slime Form stabilized his Yajian, letting this paused memory run again. Almost immediately, he felt the overwhelming, violent emotions again. Now he could distinguish that the reason these emotions were so intense was because the Aliens connected their mental worlds together; this was a collective emotion. Right now, the Alien Queen was diving down from the towering trees, her posture like a vigorous cheetah. For Luo Qi, this was completely like a roller coaster; although the Queen's physical sensations were not uncomfortable, Luo Qi couldn't handle such dizzying visuals even if he were watching VR.

In such a complex scene, Luo Qi still managed to extract the mental energy to distinguish the Queen's hidden emotions. As the Queen's diving speed became faster and faster, her blood vessels were engorged with it. Luo Qi was surprised to feel that she was increasingly eager to slaughter; she wanted to kill that uninvited guest who frequently intruded into her territory. This time, she must catch him.

Slaughter? Intrusion? Her territory?

Luo Qi was confused. Could she even imagine killing her own master? Killing the Creator who bestowed life upon her? Modern Mages' magic, at the very least, could protect themselves, let alone the Progenitor Mage?

However, at this very moment, Luo Qi suddenly came to his senses. Wasn't what he had been feeling all along an unrestrained mind? The Alien Queen's Yajian came and went as freely as the wind; she enjoyed the pure joy in Eden. She climbed, she dived, she enjoyed the sun and stars above the jungle. She was unrestrained.
