Chapter 224: Heaven

It was from then on that Wu Hao truly understood what the Master God Space was like.

Here, he could exchange for anything he wanted; as long as he had enough reward points, Lunhuizhe could grow strong rapidly, even becoming beings akin to gods or demons.

Moreover, compared to other Lunhuizhe, Wu Hao had an additional external aid: a chat group system, which could be fully integrated with the Master God's exchange system.

According to the chat group system, he gained one new slot each month to recruit members; if those recruited were all Qiangzhe like Byakuran, he could summon them for help when in danger during horror films.

Of course, in exchange, Wu Hao would obtain from the Master God the items his group members needed, as well as future plotlines from their worlds (the Master God Space could exchange for movies and anime yet to be released).

Although this caused him to lose reward points and Zhixianjuqing, it was negligible compared to the assistance of these Qiangzhe.

Besides, Wu Hao wasn't losing out—he could accumulate over time and exchange for many high-grade bloodlines and items, far more convenient than going it alone.

For instance, the transparent liquid just now was exchanged by Wu Hao from the Master God: the "Divine Water" from the Dragon Ball world, capable of greatly enhancing potential.

Compared to the original work's toxic side effects, this Master God-produced "Divine Water" was clearly much safer, though its effect lasted only twelve hours.

Even so, exchanging for this bottle of "Divine Water" cost Wu Hao one A-rank Zhixianjuqing, leaving him genuinely pained.

In short, during his time with the East Sea Team, Wu Hao thrived in the Lunhui worlds thanks to his chat group and the Master God's exchange system, quickly upgrading his own bloodline to Double A-rank, and even boosting Cangjing Kong, his longest-known East Sea Team member.

However, to lower his Master God score, Wu Hao treated all new East Sea Team members with indifference.

Though he didn't exploit them like a breeder, he also didn't offer special care; when they faced danger, he Lande helping, resulting in an alarmingly low survival rate for new East Sea Team members—only five official members remained to date.

This was also why the East Sea Team, despite consistently reaping rich rewards in every horror film, maintained a low rating from the Master God.

Interestingly, because they had never assembled three Gene Lock Lunhuizhe, this time's "The Mummy 1" was the East Sea Team's first team battle.

Originally, Wu Hao planned to use the strength of his powerful chat group members to ambush and eliminate the other three Lunhui teams for an unprecedentedly massive harvest.

It started smoothly: after arriving in the world of "The Mummy 1," they immediately located the Senzhou Team, the first to arrive.

Though the Senzhou Team was a breeder squad, their strength far exceeded the Master God's evaluation, yet they were quickly overwhelmed by multiple fourth-rank chat group members and collapsed, barely clinging to life, waiting for Wu Hao to pick off their heads one by one.

Later, when the Demon Team arrived and sensed their psychic scouts scanning, Wu Hao ordered Shi Feng Caoqi to cooperate with Uchiha Madara in reverse mind control, extracting the Demon Team's member data from the two psychics' minds and immediately formulating a tactic—using another group member, Kaguya Shizuka from "Touhou Project," to open a teleportation gate via her gap ability and launch a surprise attack on the Demon Team.

The Demon Team, as one of only two special forces in the Master God Space, was far beyond ordinary Lunhui teams: besides their leader, they had another fourth-rank combatant, and the rest were no pushovers; even with several of Wu Hao's strongest group members unleashing full power, they couldn't fully crush them.

Fortunately, the situation wasn't dire: the surprise attack had been so sudden that the Demon Team had already lost four members, and the remaining few were severely wounded and being hunted down—total annihilation was merely a matter of time.

As for the current Zhongzhou Team, however, Wu Hao finally felt real pressure.

He had assumed that as the last team to arrive, the Zhongzhou Team, even if stronger than the Demon Team, wouldn't be much more formidable—but they immediately delivered a brutal wake-up call.

Shi Feng Caoqi and Uchiha Madara were both masters of mental control.

Especially the former, who possessed unimaginable talent in the realm of psychic and spiritual power; combined with Uchiha Madara's illusion techniques, even ordinary fourth-rank psychics could easily be overwhelmed.

Yet, to his utter shock, his side was violently crushed by the opponent's psychic power, nearly having their mental defenses breached and themselves subjected to mind control.

Thinking of it, Wu Hao felt a chill of dread and immediately contacted several powerful group members for help.

【Miss Kaguya, we've encountered trouble—Zhongzhou Team's psychic controller is far stronger than expected. Their overall strength remains unknown. Please return with a few others.】

【Ara ara, it seems little brother is in a hurry. What a pity—we were just catching up to those little demons; in a moment, we might have caught them… Hmm, well, it's not that easy. I'll bring a few back, but I can't persuade that battle maniac—he'll stay behind, saving us more trouble.】

Seeing this message in the chat group, Wu Hao's lips twitched slightly, then replied with his mind.

【Understood. Thank you, Miss Kaguya.】

Hummm—

No sooner had he spoken than a black spatial rift tore open on one side of the room, filled with countless crimson eyes, appearing grotesque beyond measure.

The next instant, footsteps of varying rhythms echoed, and four figures stepped out.

……

"Huh!"

Meanwhile, at Zhongzhou Team's landing site.

Just now, Zhan Lan, wielding the immense psychic power granted by the Phoenix Force, violently shattered the opposing psychic's assault and traced it back, attempting to seize control.

Though the opponent's psychic power was far weaker in raw numerical value, his technique surpassed hers by a wide margin; every time she neared capture, he shifted his defense and evasion in new ways, making her feel as if she were battling a supercomputer.

Yet the gap was too vast—so long as she unleashed the Phoenix Force without restraint, breaching his defenses was merely a matter of time.

As for now…

This technique is good. It's mine now!

As she thought this, Zhan Lan suddenly felt the opponent's psychic power surge—doubling at least. Though still far weaker than hers, it now had the potential to resist.

This change made Zhan Lan frown slightly, and she informed Wu Xian and the others.

Hearing this, Wu Xian's expression turned thoughtful—he wondered which psychic controller in the original work was this strong, with a temporary power-up mechanic.

Suddenly, his expression changed, and he snapped his head upward.

At that moment, the others in Zhongzhou Team also noticed something amiss: the world around them had abruptly darkened, and they too looked up, mouths agape.

There, a massive meteor, over ten kilometers in diameter, plummeted from the sky with a thunderous roar.
