Chapter 111: The Possibility of Establishing a Connection with Space Apes

Mikhailovsky and Jorginho passed quickly through the Lingchongli Zoulang from both sides, charged onto the Bridge, and purged the Yuejia'er with bolters.

A Faceless who had deliberately fallen behind found an opportunity and swallowed an egg-shaped head into its abdomen.

The next moment, he couldn't help but spit it out with a 'phew', the foul-smelling, deep red blood making him feel nauseated.

He had never eaten such a disgusting Xenos before.

Gabriel led his team and began to study the biochemical mechanical modification technology of the Yuejia'er.

Malena also joined the research, though their focuses differed.

The Techmarines were more interested in the mechanical aspects; besides biochemical mechanics, he also conducted research on the Arc Projector, Needle Ballistic Weapon, and Spring Piston Leg.

The "Physician" focused more on biological aspects, dismantling biochemical limbs to understand their design purpose, function, and other details.

After the Thousand Sons finished the battle, they immediately rushed to the bottom-level Fuhuchang where they had sensed a psychic eruption.

Immediately, they were blocked by members of the Honor Guard.

"The Primarch has ordered that no one is to approach this place."

Ormuzd and Apophis frowned and turned their gaze toward Ahzek Ahriman.

The leader of the "Thousand Sons" Legion only thought for a second before wisely choosing to give up.

"We shall obey the orders of Lord Ninglu."

He led the Thousand Sons away to search the Yuejia'er Shijiejian for records containing knowledge of Xenos.

But when the Thousand Sons arrived at the Bridge, they were told that all data had been destroyed.

In reality, the Yuejia'er's Data Crystal and other stored materials had all been collected and handed over to Gabriel.

Ninglu began collecting Potion Material, and the malformed Yuejia'er cubs were all transported by him to the "Kingdom of Disorder".

After placing them all in a palace on the first level of Real Space, Ninglu came to the second level of space.

After several years of practice, he had initially used his Spirituality to construct a place for farming some Potion Material.

Above thousands of intersecting pipes, dozens of lung spiders spun webs.

An invisible barrier separated him from the pipes, inside of which the Hive Giant Rats ran and hissed.

Only when Ninglu came here in person and used his Spirituality to open the barrier, just like now, could the lung spiders follow their webs into the pipes to hunt the Hive Giant Rats.

The Hive Giant Rats fed on the Fungus in the sewage pits, and likewise, an invisible barrier kept them, forever hungry, separated from their food.

This fragile ecological Balance was unstable; once Ninglu was busy and did not come in person for more than three Vostonia work cycles, the ecological Balance would be destroyed.

The starved Hive Giant Rats and lung spiders would attack and devour each other, and in the end, only a small portion of intact ones could be used as Potion Material.

Ninglu moved his mind, and the two doors isolated by his Spirituality opened accordingly.

His figure flashed, and he picked up two Fungus from the sewage pit and threw them into the pipes; the Hive Giant Rats, with their keen sense of smell, immediately ran in groups toward the sewage pit.

He then picked up a Hive Giant Rat and threw it to the lung spiders, inciting the latter.

Ninglu examined this incomplete, fragile ecological Balance, and a realization dawned on him.

【Order affects the whole; wanting to construct a well-functioning order is by no means an easy task.】

Ninglu moved his mind and arrived at another area.

A zebra with green stripes felt uncomfortable due to the glaring light in its eyes.

It jumped from time to time, shook its head from time to time, and ran from time to time...

Jumping up and down, it wanted to shake off the things on its eyes that made it uncomfortable, but the black blindfold was locked tightly onto its eyes.

Inside were twelve finger-long colorful insects, joyfully leaping around its eyes, emitting a dazzling light.

Subsequently, the Prism Magic Worms burrowed into its eyes in satisfaction; the light was no longer glaring, but the green zebra became even more restless.

After a while, a Prism Magic Worm crawled out; it lay on the zebra's broad forehead, and a rice-grain-sized small insect emerged from its abdomen.

This zebra served as a container for farming Prism Magic Worms.

Ninglu sensed the birth of a new small Prism Magic Worm, and a smile could not help but appear on his face.

【Establishing order is sometimes so simple.

Prism Magic Worms are even easier to raise than lung spiders or even Hive Giant Rats; one only needs to place them on a creature with eyes.

For example, the green zebra; its eyes can satisfy the survival needs of five Prism Magic Worms until it goes blind nineteen days later in the real world, after which it can still be used as food.

During this period, one or two small insects will be born.】

After checking the situation of the Prism Magic Worms, Ninglu raised his hand to grab one of the newborn, rice-grain-sized colorful insects, then flashed to the third level of space.

Ever since he was promoted to "Briber", he had gained the authority to enter this level of space.

He had conducted hundreds of studies before, but had discovered nothing; even now, he still had not figured out what special function this level of space actually had.

Now, bringing the newborn Prism Magic Worm to this level of space was to conduct a new attempt.

The first feeling after entering the third level of space was the same as the second level of space.

But Ninglu vaguely sensed that there was some kind of difference between the two levels of space.

This difference was not an obvious one like air or gravity, but some kind of difference hidden beneath the surface.

Ninglu's earliest guess was a difference in rules or order, which was also an aspect closely related to the "Black Emperor" and the "Kingdom of Disorder".

Centered on this guess, he conducted a series of related attempts, such as throwing a group of Hive Giant Rats in to observe whether they would generate order...

After hundreds of experiments, he could already conclude: the third level of space was at least not directly related to order and rules.

【If I also view the thirty-three levels of space as a ladder for climbing upward, then order and rules clearly belong to the higher levels to be unlocked.

What can be unlocked now should be one of the other aspects.】

Thinking of this, Ninglu mobilized his Spirituality and injected it into the Prism Magic Worm in his hand.

His black eyes shone, and this time he had a clear feeling.

It was as if a faint thread had established a connection between him and the magic worm in his palm.

This was a peculiar connection, different from a mental link, yet somewhat similar.

A thought flashed through Ninglu: "Glow!"

The Prism Magic Worm immediately emitted a bit of dazzling, colorful light; although it was far less bright compared to an adult, it did indeed glow.

Ninglu immediately realized what this layer of space corresponded to: the illegal ability of the "Briber," "Bribe·Connection."

A connection formed between him and the Prism Magic Worm, establishing a link.

Ninglu was lost in thought, then returned to the second layer of space and brought over an adult Prism Magic Worm.

He injected his Spirituality into the finger-long, colorful insect body.

A moment later, he did not perceive the same link; the only change in the Prism Magic Worm was that its light became a little brighter.

Ninglu mobilized more Spirituality and poured it into the body of the Prism Magic Worm, but there was still no reaction.

After trying three times, he understood that he could only establish a link with newborns, not with adults.

【Perhaps it is because my clearance is not high enough, so I can only establish links with newborn life.】

After Ninglu guessed the reason, he began to think about what use this layer of space had for him.

【Connection...】

A flash of inspiration suddenly struck his mind, and an orange ape figure appeared in his thoughts.

【Space Apes!

They are only driven by instinct to act; perhaps only the Old Ones know how to control them.

If I could establish a connection with the Space Apes, I could designate them to manufacture things, such as the "Ape Field technology" used by the Calixis Sector Inquisition to resist demons, which has a miraculous protective effect against them.】

Ninglu's thoughts wandered, and idea after idea appeared in his mind.

【Hmm, I wouldn't even need to personally concoct Potions; I could just leave it to the Space Apes.

Perhaps I could even drive them to develop and manufacture the things I need, following certain constraints.

...】

Having found a way to control the Space Apes, Ninglu returned to the real world and immediately issued an order: as soon as the Space Ape tribe gave birth to a newborn, report to him immediately.

Afterwards, he summoned his attendants to hear a briefing.
