Chapter 263: Bully's Gloom, Evil Eye Plan

Emperor Tomb Mountain Range.

Abyssal Domain Node.

Within the visual consciousness of the Earth Chant Evil Spirit.

A burly figure, bathed in blood, knelt a hundred meters before the high tower platform.

The high tower was right before its eyes, yet the burly figure had completely exhausted its strength, possessing no further motivation to break through the encirclement.

It struggled to lift its head, gazing at the high tower, a trace of desolation rising in its eyes.

"This is not your homeland minor world, and you are no longer the protagonist; the vigorous fighting spirit amidst desperate situations will no longer grant you the possibility of turning the tables against the wind. Your Monster World journey ends here."

The cold voice of the Earth Chant Evil Spirit rang beside the burly man's ear.

With that, surging Black Black Tide energy enveloped the burly figure, rapidly devouring it and transforming it into nourishment for the Black Black Tide's growth.

Ending the battle, the Earth Chant Evil Spirit's consciousness turned to look at the nearby Evil Spirit Warrior, whose expression was one of shock, and grinned:

"Fight over, work done."

With that, the Earth Chant Evil Spirit, having finished its substitute fighting, returned its projected consciousness to its main body.

It looked up at the waning moon hanging high in the sky.

It saw dark red ripples rising on the surface of the waning moon, spreading out in circles.

Just then, a pitch-black pillar of light pierced vertically down from the moon's surface.

The moment it made contact with the Evil Eye High Tower, it was rapidly absorbed and stored; the entire process lasted several seconds.

[Ding! Substitute fighting mission completed. Rewards for this mission are as follows: Black Black Tide Energy: 2939.293 Erosion Units, plus one bonus little fan, Friendship +1000 points.]

"Who taught you to remind me like that?"

The Earth Chant glared viciously at the Evil Eye hovering beside it.

"Learned it from the Player Clan; they love playing with these inexplicable memes. Every time they do this, they look quite happy, so I wanted to try it on you, but it seems you are not delighted."

"Next time, stuff the statistical information directly into my brain; do not complicate things, and do not imitate the players."

"Understood."

As a flood of information and the recorded footage of this substitute fighting poured into its mind, the Earth Chant Evil Spirit's mood immediately improved greatly.

The gloom brought by the waning moon dispersed considerably.

This substitute fighting model, launched through a method of circuitous investment, suddenly became incredibly smooth.

Even for a Black Black Tide Evil Spirit, there are bottlenecks that cannot be broken through in the short term during its development in the Monster World, requiring assistance from external resources.

Under the guise of investment, it gained opportunities for contact, allowing the substitute fighting to proceed naturally.

At the current stage, three Evil Spirit Warriors had established contact with it, and all were willing to engage in long-term cooperation.

The resource-sharing network had already taken shape.

It planned to deepen its connections with these three Evil Spirits in the near future, establishing a relationship similar to a defensive-offensive alliance.

First provide help, so that when it could no longer withstand the pressure of the Waning Moon Stage, it could rightfully seek their assistance.

Secondly, it was considering strengthening its capabilities in offense.

Defensive tactics were already extremely proficient; this was a war capability ground out through hard grinding against the Player Clan and the Insect Clan.

However, in the realm of offense, during these three substitute fighting sessions, it discovered that its command abilities could still be optimized.

Just as the Earth Chant Evil Spirit was reviewing recorded footage and entering a deep learning Cultivation Mode, the Evil Eye's voice rang in its mind:

"Earth Chant, an old friend has arrived."

"That beast is here again?!" The old friends mentioned by the Evil Eye numbered only two.

One was the combat Insect Clan in the Phantom Swamp region to the north of the high tower.

The other was the Player Clan that descended by crossing the spatial barrier to the south.

This time, the attackers were most likely the Player Clan again.

Its consciousness shifted to the outside of the high tower shrouded in black mist, extending southward; in its sensory vision, figures of the Player Clan appeared, attacking in groups.

Feeling helpless, the Earth Chant Evil Spirit gnashed its teeth in hatred.

"Knock your mother! Knock your mother!"

But the necessary defensive measures still had to be taken.

Otherwise, the Player Clan would truly dare to kill their way to the Evil Eye High Tower and wipe out its base.

In the blink of a thought, the Black Black Tide energy contracted near the high tower surged, transforming into waves that advanced toward the direction from which the Player Clan was attacking.

Soon, the Calamity Wall was constructed.

However, unlike the previous aggressive tactics, in its Waning Moon state, it contracted its defensive lines to avoid the contact area of a head-on clash with the Player Clan's front-line warriors.

The familiar war Cultivation Mode commenced once again.

But during this engagement, the Earth Chant suddenly felt a stabbing pain in its brain.

The offensive of the controlled evil spirits suddenly stalled.

It could clearly perceive that some kind of extreme emotional power was seeping into its consciousness layer, using the evil spirits it controlled and connected to as a relay station; the sensation was like countless red-hot iron needles traveling along its nerves.

But this was not pain on a physical level; it was more like karmic fire directly scorching the consciousness.

"Knock your mother, what kind of weird trick have they come up with now?"

The Earth Chant forced its body to hover in mid-air, blue veins on the side of its neck bulging like writhing earthworms, as it scanned the battlefield direction with vicious intent.

The Evil Eye's reaction was also extremely rapid, instantly conducting the emotional pain acting upon the Earth Chant Evil Spirit onto itself.

"Earth Chant, this is an emotional attack, accompanied by partial mental damage, conducted to you through the evil spirits you are connected to."

With that, the Evil Eye instantly locked onto a Calamity-type evil spirit currently being entangled by the Touch of Pain.

The Earth Chant Evil Spirit did not answer; in the blink of a thought, the locked Calamity-type unit retreated consecutively, instantly scattering and merging into the Black Black Tide.

The burning pain in its consciousness disappeared immediately.

Before it could counterattack, the perspective provided by the Evil Eye instantly shifted to a nearby Calamity-type evil spirit.

Understanding the hint, the Earth Chant Evil Spirit decomposed and merged this Calamity-type unit into the Black Black Tide one second before the Touch of Pain could make contact with it.

"Which beast did this!"

"These two." The Evil Eye manipulated its sensory perspective, shifting it to Jiang Cheng and Xia Sheng.

In the vision, Jiang Cheng and Xia Sheng pressed their palms together, activating the Gargoyle characteristic.

Their bodies were covered in a layer of pitch-black, while blood-red Tentacles of Pain danced constantly behind them.

Realizing that these two guys' abilities could actually cause direct harm to it through the evil spirits, the Earth Chant decisively marked them as priority targets for elimination.

In the blink of a thought, the Black Black Tide near Jiang Cheng and Xia Sheng surged, rapidly condensing into twelve Torrent-type Assassin units.

At this moment, activating the Eagle-Head Demon perception, the God King who noticed something was amiss also spoke decisively, ordering nearby Damage-Tanking flow players to protect the Pain Brothers.

The Damage-Tanking Group immediately took action; after approaching the Pain Brothers, they activated Blood Wall Defense, forming an impregnable shield wall.

The Pain Brothers also seized the opportunity at this moment, striking simultaneously, their tentacles coiling toward an approaching Torrent-type Assassin unit.

But one second before the tentacles made contact, the Torrent-type unit suddenly scattered into Black Black Tide energy.

Subsequently, a Torrent-type unit from the other side accelerated its approach, its sharp bone spikes smashing fiercely against the Blood Wall, yet failing to break it.

Having failed with one strike, the Assassin-type unit rapidly retreated.

But the Damage-Tanking flow players seized the exact moment to throw out Soul-Blood Tether Chains, coiling around the Assassin unit's waist and abdomen, forcibly dragging it back before the Blood Wall.

The Touch of Pain struck again, coiling around this Assassin unit.

The next second the pain was conducted, the Evil Eye immediately activated, absorbing all of the extreme painful emotions.

But the Evil Eye did not fare well during this process either.

Although its body suffered no damage, the scorching on the consciousness level also affected the efficiency of the data assistance it provided to the Earth Chant Evil Spirit.

Facing the well-protected Jiang Cheng and Xia Sheng, the Earth Chant Evil Spirit switched its decapitation method, manipulating the Black Black Tide to generate Void-type units.

During consecutive engagements, facing the Earth Chant Bully whose strength far exceeded their own, the Pain Brothers failed to save their lives, being forcibly dragged into the high tower by the Void-type units.

They were met straight on by the Earth Chant Bully's violent two punches, instantly dissipating into black mist.

As for keeping them for imprisonment and interrogation, or conducting detailed physical examinations, such things held no meaning in the eyes of the Earth Chant Evil Spirit.

After all, this was not the first time it had come into contact with the Player Clan.

It had tried various methods, none of which produced any effect whatsoever.

With no further worries after killing the Pain Brothers, the Earth Chant Evil Spirit decisively switched its perspective back to the battlefield, going all out with its firepower.

During this period, various brilliant taunting quotes appeared frequently.

Having collected many player quotes, the Earth Chant Evil Spirit had already understood the specific meanings of certain phrases in player lingo and had learned to draw inferences from one instance.

It began composing innovative taunting quotes on its own, using them for uninterrupted high-frequency output during war Cultivation Mode.

As for whether the self-composed innovative taunting quotes were effective, that was easy to judge.

Verification could be conducted based on a series of manifestations such as the players' heartbeats, blood qi fluctuations, and changes in expression.

It would also score its self-composed innovative taunting quotes based on the strength of the players' reactions, then record the effective ones and discard the ineffective parts.

Through this method, it continuously optimized the lethality of its taunting tactics.

Three hours later.

The great battle concluded, yet the Earth Chant Bully wore a grave expression.

The appearance of the Pain Brothers this time made it realize that the Player Clan had mastered a new ability.

Furthermore, this ability was extremely formidable; it could actually be conducted through the connection between the evil spirits and itself, directly attacking it.

It could already be classified as a decapitation ability.

"Earth Chant, apart from the conduction, the most terrifying aspect of this ability is the emotional damage."

Hearing these words, the Earth Chant nodded:

"Are there any relevant records in the Node Information Library?"

"Yes, the library determines that emotional damage ranks higher than spiritual damage; spiritual shock can be neutralized by spiritual defense systems, but emotional damage is different—it directly transmits the purest emotions to you, generating negativity, fear, pain, despair, and other feelings, a form of consciousness erosion that cannot be dispelled by normal means."

"Is there any way to counter it?"

"Theoretically, emotional-level damage creates an uncounterable effect on any emotional being, unless you are like the Combat Insect Race, possessing no emotional fluctuations whatsoever, but that is clearly impossible."

Hearing Evil Eye's answer, the Earth Chant Evil Spirit froze in shock.

"So, aside from prioritizing elimination, there are no defensive measures?"

Evil Eye did not answer, instead projecting a series of images into the Earth Chant Evil Spirit's mind.

The content of these images was very familiar to it.

A figure wreathed in flames of blood and Qi flew rapidly from outside the Evil Moon Domain.

Facing the Black Tide of evil spirits surging forth like floodwaters, the attacking figure transformed into a bolt of blood lightning, weaving through the horde, while countless red tentacles rose from behind this figure, sweeping up massive numbers of nearby evil spirits.

Accompanied by hearty, unrestrained laughter, endless pain used the evil spirits as a medium, rapidly transmitting to the Evil Spirit Warriors atop the Gao Ta.

This single strike instantly killed the Evil Spirit Commander of the Blue-Skinned Evil Eye.

"It is his power!"

After viewing the images, the Earth Chant Evil Spirit realized it instantly.

The power the players just used was exactly the same as that wielded by the figure who once killed an Evil Spirit Warrior in a single blow.

It was precisely this strike that allowed it to survive the Waning Moon phase.

By stealing the Black Black Tide energy from the node via proxy battles, it had reaped substantial gains in Black Black Tide energy.

"The energy manifestation of both is identical, but their intensity is not on the same level; the difference is far more than slight."

Evil Eye's response made the Earth Chant Evil Spirit realize the severity of the problem.

If the players mastered this ability, it meant future engagements with the Player Race would become extremely troublesome.

One never knew when emotional damage might strike, interfering with its command capabilities or even inflicting severe conductive damage upon it.

In more severe cases, it could even be killed in a single blow by conducted emotional damage, just like its predecessor.

It could employ preemptive locking, preemptive backlash, or even decapitation tactics to counter it.

But such defensive measures treated the symptoms, not the root cause.

To maintain its advantage in the confrontation with the Player Race, it had to find a method to deal with emotional damage.

"Earth Chant, do not worry; I have a method to handle this type of ability."

Hearing Evil Eye's reply, the Earth Chant Evil Spirit immediately perked up.

At this moment, Evil Eye continued:

"The most dangerous aspect of emotional damage lies in the instant of a surprise attack; if the conducted emotional damage is too intense, it will cause you severe harm or even death, but with prior preparation, the lethality of such abilities is not as strong as imagined."

With that, Evil Eye assembled an image within the Earth Chant Evil Spirit's mind.

In the image, the Earth Chant Evil Spirit combined with Evil Eye, releasing a network woven from countless threads that spread with its consciousness to cover the designated area.

Every single thread connected to an evil spirit unit.

"Earth Chant, in your connection with the evil spirit units, you are the starting point and the evil spirits are the endpoints, whereas the conduction of emotional damage starts from the evil spirits, with you as the endpoint bearing the force."

With that, a red path appeared on an evil spirit in the image, conducting from the spirit as the starting point to its body, culminating in an explosion of red light.

"However, during this process, the Player Race member releasing the emotional damage cannot determine where the conduction endpoint lies; after release, it automatically follows the connection between the evil spirits and you to reach the terminal, which gives us room to operate."

As it spoke, in the simulation image created by Evil Eye, an energy tentacle extended from the top of the Earth Chant Evil Spirit's head.

Immediately, when the red light representing emotional damage began conducting again from the evil spirits as the starting point, it ultimately passed through the Earth Chant Evil Spirit's body and continued conducting outward along this extra tentacle.

"This type of damage is extremely effective against a single closed target, but we need not worry about this issue; we can completely set up defenses in advance to guide the flow of emotional damage."

"Theoretically, emotional damage could even be used as our weapon; whoever this tentacle points at becomes the terminal bearing the emotional damage."

Hearing Evil Eye's analysis, the Earth Chant Evil Spirit grinned broadly:

"So, I can even use emotional damage to counterattack members of the Player Race."

"Exactly; in future battles against the Player Race, I will weave a network of emotional conduction for you to prevent similar surprise attacks."

Gazing at the countermeasure Evil Eye had just constructed, the gloom eroding the Earth Chant Evil Spirit's heart from emotional attacks vanished completely.

Another entry was added to the Player Strategy Manual.

This player race strategy guide, compiled personally by it, now recorded 218 types of player abilities and methods.

Yet the Player Race always managed to bring new abilities after a period of time, creating trouble for it.

This was the problem that gave it the most headache.

Every time a new ability appeared, it had to search for methods of counterbalance and resolution.

It seemed the power it mastered was far superior to that of the Player Race.

But every time, the players took the initiative to provoke and attack, leaving it scrambling to respond, its mental state perpetually tense.

As its fingertip traced through the player strategies in the database, billions of data streams reflected in its pupils, transforming into a thick volumetric record book.

Between the pages emerged dense tactical deductions, ability analyses, player models, and other content.

Organizing the content into a timeline, every player death, every growth, every tactic that overturned logic... all became clearly visible.

The birth of this strategy guide had completely shattered his pride, yet also taught him how to grow.

"Earth Chant, I can sense that you are troubled."

"Nonsense; encountering these bastards, who wouldn't be troubled?"

"Perhaps, this is not a bad thing."

Hearing these words, the Earth Chant Evil Spirit looked at Evil Eye with some disbelief.

At this moment, Evil Eye blinked its eye and continued:

"Predators without natural enemies will eventually degenerate; perhaps viewing the players as a whetstone to hone our own abilities is not an incorrect path... We should be fortunate to have encountered the Player Race during the early Descent phase; suppose we met a simultaneously rising Player Race when we had grown to believe ourselves sufficiently powerful, engaging in confrontation with zero understanding, we would inevitably pay a heavy price."

With that, Evil Eye rapidly wove images recorded in the Player Strategy Guide.

The images depicted its repeated clashes with player legions.

From initially having two domain nodes seized by the Player Race commanders, to gradually turning the Black Tide, to the current state of absolute suppression.

Throughout the entire process, it countered move for move; whenever the players devised a new tactic, it would formulate a new counter-tactic based on their abilities.

"Earth Chant, the pressure brought by the long war with the Player Race has allowed us to break through fixed mindsets, evolving from your reliance on brute force upon arrival to now mastering tactical deduction and application, completing the metamorphosis from warrior to commander... I can affirm that you are now the finest new-generation Evil Spirit Warrior in the Pale Continent region; your growth stems from pressure, and your pressure stems from the Player Race."

Speaking to this point, Evil Eye paused, adding with a hint of anticipation:

"Perhaps you should adopt a mindset of enjoyment to Iron Face this never-repeating war of wits, treating every confrontation with the Player Race as a feast of thought, enjoying the tension and excitement within, then growing and transforming under pressure; at that point, you will discover that perhaps the emergence of the Player Race is the broad avenue leading us to the peak."

The Earth Chant Evil Spirit paused slightly; the combat gloom that had long shrouded its heart quietly dispersed, replaced by a glint of contemplation in its eyes.

Images of the player army charging forward again and again floated in its mind.

A ferocious smile appeared on his Iron Face:

"Evil Eye, you are right; I am the ultimate winner in this competition of growth... If they are evolving, then I shall evolve faster than them!"

"Earth Chant, I am very happy you have such thoughts," Evil Eye nodded with immense gratification.

Just then, the Earth Chant Evil Spirit changed its tone:

"Everything you said is correct, I understand the logic, but you want me to Iron Face the Player Race with a mindset of enjoyment, yet no matter how hard I try, I cannot figure out how to enjoy it; every engagement makes me wish to fly out of the Gao Ta personally, charge into the player army, and smash the dog heads of those Player Race bastards one by one with my fists."

"Not dying from anger is already good enough, yet you tell me to enjoy it; tell me, what aspect of every war could possibly let me enjoy it?"

Recalling the players' various disgusting behaviors, the Earth Chant Evil Spirit clenched its fists, growing angrier the more it thought:

"Fuck your mother, you bastard players; I really want to spawn a Calamity-type unit to dig up your ancestral graves!"

Evil Eye: ...

Evil Eye, intending to continue persuading, suddenly found itself at a loss for words.

After a moment of silence, Evil Eye, having accessed information from player quotes, decided to try a different approach to persuasion.

If soft tactics failed, try hard ones; perhaps this could awaken the deeply obsessed Earth Chant:

"Earth Chant, can you stop acting like a deep abyss mouth spewing shit? All day long it's either 'fuck your mother' or 'dig up ancestral graves'; what's the point in trading insults with those low-tier players? Stop releasing your mother's spiral farts, pull yourself together, and learn to grow under pressure."

The Earth Chant Evil Spirit: ...

As its blood pressure skyrocketed, it looked at Evil Eye in utter disbelief, unable to believe these words had actually come from Evil Eye.

At this moment, Evil Eye continued:

"Can you fucking have some ambition!"

The Earth Chant Evil Spirit glared viciously at Evil Eye, killing intent surging; Evil Eye, intending to continue its output, decisively stopped.

"Evil Eye, let me ask you one thing: what is the punishment for an Evil Spirit Warrior killing an Assistant Eye?"

"I was wrong."

"Too late."

"I'm sorry; my intention was to cheer you up, I just wanted to try a different method to test the effect."

Facing Evil Eye's plea for mercy, the Earth Chant Evil Spirit, who had never intended to strike for real, mimicked the players' tone and continued viciously:

"Kowtow and apologize."

Hearing these words, the hovering Evil Eye decisively landed on the platform, facing the Earth Chant Evil Spirit.

Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud!

Earth Chant: ...

Regarding Evil Eye, he always felt a sense of powerlessness.

If told to kowtow, it would genuinely kowtow.

This was no longer merely a display of flexibility; the concept of "Iron Face" simply did not exist in Evil Eye's heart.

After a long while, Evil Eye floated back into the air, blinked at the helpless-looking Earth Chant, and said:

"Di Nian, are you satisfied now?"

Faced with the question, Di Nian did not answer.

Sometimes facing the Evil Eye made it feel more powerless than facing the players.

"Di Nian, I suddenly had a whim and came up with an idea."

"What do you want to say?" the Di Nian Evil Spirit asked with a cold expression.

"Based on the past characteristics of the players, we can analyze and judge that their curiosity is extremely strong; they possess an incomprehensible desire to explore the unknown, regardless of whether that unknown might bring danger."

As he spoke, the Evil Eye organized relevant past scenes and listed them within the Di Nian Evil Spirit's mind.

Most of these scenes were content regarding players operating in the Emperor Tomb Mountain Range region during the early stages.

From these scenes, one could indeed discover that the players possessed an incredibly strong desire to court death, always liking to approach and understand anything fresh they encountered.

But what it was curious about was the significance of the Evil Eye providing these scenes.

At this moment, the Evil Eye continued to explain:

"Currently, you are attempting to build a resource mutual-aid network among the Evil Spirit Warriors, but very often the development of the Evil Spirit Warriors proceeds extremely smoothly, requiring no proxy services from you, so I feel there is no demand; we can find a way to create demand."

Hearing this, the Di Nian Evil Spirit suddenly understood what the Evil Eye intended to convey.

"Your meaning is to attempt to guide the players in the Emperor Tomb Mountain Range region to other Black Black Tide nodes, let them clash with the players, and then I collect proxy service fees from the process."

"Exactly, you and I both understand how strong the Player Clan is, but other Black Black Tide nodes have never even understood what the Player Clan is."

"Facing the Player Clan's offensive, they will inevitably suffer unprecedented strikes, and what they will think of next is seeking help from you, the Evil Spirit Commander who professionally deals with players; isn't that where the demand comes from?"

After hearing the Evil Eye's analysis, the Di Nian Evil Spirit became instantly excited.

"So you want to utilize the players' curiosity toward the unknown to build a teleportation zone in the Emperor Tomb Mountain Range region; given the players' personalities, they will inevitably teleport over to see what is there, guiding the calamity toward other Evil Spirit Warriors—no demand, create demand, thereby earning resource fees for proxy services."

"Yes, that is exactly what I am thinking." The Evil Eye nodded, then continued:

"But doing this requires solving three problems in advance; first, the construction of the spatial teleportation array must absolutely not be built with Black Black Tide energy, otherwise the Evil Spirit Warriors who discover the array will immediately suspect you are secretly harming them; although there is nearly absolute trust among Evil Spirit Warriors, we must still avoid arousing suspicion, as this is unfavorable for you to establish trust with other Evil Spirit Warriors and affects your building of the resource interconnection network."

Hearing this, the Di Nian Evil Spirit immediately thought of the abilities the Evil Eye possessed.

How to build a spatial teleportation array outside the Black Black Tide system—leaving aside the lack of resources in this aspect, the Evil Eye simply did not have the technology for it.

After all, within the Black Black Tide system, building a spatial teleportation array was too convenient.

One only needed to use Black Black Tide energy to outline a teleportation array; Black Black Tide energy was the basic material.

But the techniques for building a spatial teleportation array using other materials, they truly had never encountered.

This feeling was like being accustomed to spatial jump technology, yet now being forced to cross the ocean with sails and wooden oars; it was an experience they had never had before.

Thinking of this, Di Nian had an idea:

"Evil Eye, this problem is not difficult to solve; just capture a group of foreign creatures, force them to act and help build it, with the reward being granting them a swift death."

Upon hearing this, the Evil Eye shook its head:

"There is no need for such trouble; after capturing them, let me read their memories, then I will assist you in building this spatial teleportation array; as for materials, the Monster World lacks spiritual materials the least."

"I almost forgot, you can read memories." Di Nian nodded.

After explaining the first problem, the Evil Eye continued:

"Secondly, the location for placing the spatial teleportation array is very important; it cannot be built near the tower where we are located, since you can easily manipulate places touched by the Black Black Tide, and Evil Spirit Warriors at other nodes would similarly wonder why you do not act to destroy the array; it is best to choose a location to the south, near the world barrier where the Player Clan descends."

"The last problem is more tricky; you also understand the situation with the players: although they are full of curiosity, they are also filled with destructive and greedy desires; facing the spatial teleportation array we build, besides going to the other side of the space to investigate, the players might also dismantle your built spatial teleportation array into resources, such as prying out the energy gems on the array, rendering the array ineffective."

"We cannot rebuild an array every time the players dismantle one; the expenditure is too great to bear."

"Given the players' personalities, once they know you will rebuild the array, they will even camp nearby waiting for you to rebuild it, then immediately dismantle it again."

Of the three problems mentioned by the Evil Eye, in Di Nian's view, the first two were easy to solve.

Only the third problem caused difficulty: how to build a spatial teleportation array that was not easily destroyed.

While pondering, the Di Nian Evil Spirit suddenly had an inspiration:

"Evil Eye, is it possible to build a spatial teleportation array in the form of a projection, leaving the main body of the array in the tower, just like how we project ourselves to other nodes; what the players can touch would merely be an operable image composed of light and shadow, while the key components truly responsible for spatial teleportation, as well as the switch, remain in our hands, with whether to teleport or not entirely up to us."

"In this way, the players would be completely unable to dismantle the core parts of the array; even if they wanted to destroy it, at most they could only interfere with the energy transmission efficiency of the projection, but this would have no substantial impact on the real array located inside the tower."

After hearing the Di Nian Evil Spirit's conception, the Evil Eye fell silent for several seconds to analyze:

"Di Nian, if it were an array constructed of Black Black Tide energy, I could indeed easily make it exist in the form of a projection, then maintain the continuous opening of the array by projecting Black Black Tide energy, but the structure and materials of this array must be crafted in a non-Black Black Tide system form; how to make it exist as a projection is a field I have not yet ventured into."

"Secondly, the method of projection makes it very easy for other Evil Spirits to find the source, which involves the second problem again: the placement location of the spatial teleportation array cannot be discovered as related to us."

"If these two problems cannot be solved, the method of building a spatial teleportation array in the form of an energy projection is not viable."

After hearing the Evil Eye's analysis, the Di Nian Evil Spirit could not help but sigh.

It seemed the proxy service model of creating demand could only remain a conception, unable to become reality.

"Di Nian, you have misunderstood what I intended to convey; currently, I indeed find it difficult to achieve, but I can learn and research according to the direction you desire, then turn the impossible into the possible; this is precisely the meaning of my existence."

"Including the Black Black Tide system we master, it was also gradually formed through exploration and research; every difficulty encountered is an opportunity for progress and improvement."

"Just because something has not been ventured into before does not mean it cannot be conquered in the future; next, I will deeply research the mysteries of the spatial system and energy conversion, attempting to find a new projection method that can both allow a non-Black Black Tide system array to exist in projection form and cleverly conceal its source, remaining undetected by other Evil Spirit Warriors."

After hearing the Evil Eye's account, the flame extinguished in the Di Nian Evil Spirit's heart reignited; it raised its head to look at the Evil Eye:

"Evil Eye, have you noticed that you are different from other Evil Eyes?"

Faced with the question, the Evil Eye tilted its body thirty degrees, looking at the Di Nian Evil Spirit with great confusion:

"Is there?"

"Yes, I find your behavior simply monstrous; you actually have the audacity to propose ideas to harm your fellow Evil Spirit compatriots; do not forget you are an Evil Eye, your core duty is to serve the development of the Black Black Tide Legion; look at the plan you are currently conceiving yourself—is this a plan a normal Evil Eye could come up with?!"

After remaining silent for several seconds, the Evil Eye nodded:

"What you say is correct; my Cultivation Mode of logical thinking operation seems to have developed a problem."

"I suggest destruction." Di Nian nodded and added.

"Good, I will immediately report to the Monarch to have myself, who has already developed unknown variables, processed for destruction."

"Don't, you should stay."

Knowing the Evil Eye was not joking, the Di Nian Evil Spirit decisively spoke out to stop it.

Given the Evil Eye's personality, it was truly capable of doing such a stupid thing.

"So, should this monstrous plan be cancelled?"

"Research it well; use resources as you wish; although I am unwilling to do this, I have decided to support your idea."

Evil Eye: ...
