Chapter 884: The War of Raising Poisonous Worms

Meng Chao’s mind was racing.

However, he found it difficult to refute what “Lu Siya” had said.

It was especially hard for him since he had the memories of his previous life and knew that a war between worlds was about to break out.

Nevertheless, he still managed to catch the other party’s weakness in a split second.

“If you really are a product of the perfect fusion of Lu Siya and the monster mastermind, wouldn’t you have inherited the mother’s power?”

Meng Chao stared at her and coldly said, “Billions of years ago, in the ancient era, the mother once controlled most of the creatures on this planet except for the Ancients. If there are truly many indigenous civilizations in the Other World now, they should be inextricably linked to the mother.

“So, since you have inherited the mother’s power, defeating these indigenous civilizations should be a piece of cake. Do you need to complete such a bloody trial with such a cruel method like the Monster War?”

“Yes, I did inherit part of the mother’s power, but I’m afraid that you have misunderstood the mother as a life form.”

Lu Siya admitted that she was the source of her power, but she suddenly changed the subject and asked in a profound way, “What do you think the mother is exactly? The core of a certain bee colony civilization?”

Meng Chao was slightly dazed before he asked, “Isn’t it?”

In the ancient memory transmitted by the brain, the mother had controlled billions of ferocious beasts in the ancient era and gathered them into a “Tower of Babel,” which rushed toward the Ancients’ space station. The soul-stirring scene had included the torrential beast horde that appeared in front of the people on Earth today. It was indeed very similar to a bee colony civilization’s fighting style.

“Many people will subconsciously think of a bee colony civilization when they see things like the insect tide, the rat tide, and the beast horde.”

“Indeed,” Lu Siya said casually, “It’s true that the overwhelming, relentless, and fearless snakes, insects, rats, and ants, billions of creatures, only have one brain, one will, and one voice. It is quite a despairing thing to think about.

“However, the bee colony civilization has its own weakness.

“To control the entire race with one core is equivalent to putting all your eggs in the same basket. If the enemy destroys our core directly, such as the monster mastermind, the entire race may collapse. The ferocious-looking monsters will be paralyzed the moment their mastermind is destroyed.

“Even if the enemy has not destroyed our core, our core may still be wrong, especially when astronomical amounts of information and data streams are constantly being input into the core. When the core is processing the data, the rising temperature alone is enough to set any carbon-based or silicon-based core ablaze.

“Besides, if the core of the swarm wants to control every soldier bee as it pleases, it will need a very powerful and stable long-distance information exchange system. It will not only transmit the command of the mastermind to every soldier bee on the nerve endings, but also collect what they see, hear, and feel from every soldier bee.

“The workload is too heavy, and it is easy to be interfered with. After all, the Other World is a place where the spirit magnetic interference is extremely strong and the most basic elements are changeable. Even human drones and thinking tanks are often paralyzed by the interference. How can the mastermind and its swarm maintain its long-term strength and stability?

“It was precisely because of these fatal flaws that the invincible mother lost the ancient war.

“When the Ancients’ space-based orbital weapons glittered with billions of light balls and fell from the sky like a raging rain of fire, the mother began to think and evolve before it was destroyed.

“The mother realized that there was no way out for a pure bee colony civilization. Life was indeed the most interesting and complicated thing in the universe. No matter how high its computational ability was, it could not push all the monsters in the correct direction of a ‘perfect carbon-based life form’ by itself—it did not know where the correct direction was at all.

“Therefore, the mother made a bold decision.”

Lu Siya paused for a moment before she threw a meaningful look at Meng Chao.

Her eyes seemed to say, “I’ll only tell you this secret. Don’t tell anyone else!”

“Split!”

Lu Siya continued, “With the help of the fire of destruction from the space-based orbital weapons, the mother took advantage of the situation and split itself into hundreds of pieces.

“It did so to minimize the destructive power of the space-based orbital weapons and to maximize its chances of survival after the destruction of the Earth’s surface.

“Faced with the meteorites that fell from the sky, the rats had a better chance of survival than the dinosaurs.

“More importantly, the mother realized its weakness and shortcomings through the war with the Ancients. It realized that it was impossible for it to defeat the Ancients, but it did not know which direction it should evolve in before it could make a comeback and defeat the Ancients.

“Therefore, it simply split itself into a hundred pieces and chose a hundred escape routes and a hundred evolution directions at the same time.

“Of course, the hundred pieces of the mother’s body might not necessarily be able to survive the attacks of the space-based orbital weapons.

“In fact, most of the mother’s pieces have long been annihilated by the Ancients’ fury and billions of years of erosion.

“However, seven or eight mother body fragments survived.

“The mother’s fragment that was hidden on Monster Mountain Range survived and turned into the monster mastermind, developing a rather powerful civilization. I can’t be the one and only lucky guy, can I?”

Meng Chao took a deep breath.

His scalp was numb.

What the Earthlings discovered and captured was far from the entire mother’s body. It was just a fragment of the mother, a small part of it!

Outside Monster Mountain Range, on the vast and boundless continent of the Other World, there were even more mother fragments. Furthermore, after billions of years of treatment and evolution, they had grown into a new mother.

They were like minced leeches that had undergone a period of recuperation before expanding again and becoming an independent entity!

Meng Chao did not want to believe such a shocking thing.

However, “Lu Siya’s” words echoed the war in the Other World that he remembered vividly from his previous life.

Meng Chao had once wondered why dozens of different indigenous civilizations would erupt when the Other World was clearly just a planet.

The difference between the natives of the Other World was far greater than that of Earth. It was the difference between a civilized country with a super computer and a huge nuclear arsenal and the natives who still used bows, arrows, and spears to hunt.

Moreover, although it was an extremely backward social form, it had more powerful technology and military services than the people on Earth.

All of these were things that could not be explained according to the theory of normal biological evolution and civilization development.

It was possible that the mother’s shadow was behind the Other World’s indigenous civilization that had once competed with Dragon City’s civilization in his previous life. It made sense!

“Now, you should understand, right?”

“Lu Siya” observed Meng Chao’s expression and nodded in satisfaction when she saw the realization on his face. “What we found in the depths of the sinkhole was only the Mother 1. Beyond Monster Mountain Range, there is Mother 2, Mother 3, Mother 4… and even Mother 99.

“Defeating and absorbing Mother 1 is just the beginning. We still have a long journey ahead of us!”

Meng Chao was silent for a long time before he cautiously said, “However, so many fragments originated from the same mother.”

“So what? You don’t think that there’s any respect between the mother’s fragments, do you?”

“Lu Siya” could not help but laugh. “The strong preys on the weak, and the winner is king. To choose the best direction for the evolution of carbon-based creatures, war is undoubtedly the fastest and most reliable method. Just like raising poisonous worms, if you put a hundred hungry poisonous worms together, the one that survives will definitely be the strongest.

“If not, you can also understand this process as the mother’s unique cultivation method.

“Splitting into a hundred parts and growing in different evolutionary directions over a long period of time, growing into all kinds of strange and unrecognizable appearances, and then carrying out the ‘poisonous worm’ raising style of killing each other… In the end, only the surviving part can inherit the mother’s full strength, complete the ultimate evolution, and obtain the qualification to challenge the Ancients again.

“Therefore, the threat outside Monster Mountain Range is real and imminent.

“As the mist gradually dissipates, these native civilizations, who are also affected by the mother, will definitely sense the existence of Mother 1 within Monster Mountain Range.

“Even if they originally didn’t have strong malice toward the Earthlings who had transmigrated here, once they discovered that the Earthlings have already deeply integrated with the mother’s power through the Monster War, they will unavoidably treat the Earthlings as a competitor who won’t rest until one of side died.

“In other words, while the Earthlings cheered for their victory in the Monster Wars, they had no idea that they had stepped into the whirlpool of another war. It is a hundred times more dangerous, cruel, and grand—the War of Raising Poisonous Worms.

“It’s already too late to escape now. Moreover, even if they wanted to escape, where could they go? After experiencing an all-out nuclear war, the civilization is completely destroyed, and isn’t the Earth in ruins?

“Believe me, Meng Chao, the reason why I’m willing to reveal so much top-secret information to you is to show that I have no malice toward you and Dragon City’s civilization. Our goal is the same—to win the d*mn war of raising poisonous worms and survive together

“That’s right. Survive together. At the same time, help Mother body 1 to defeat and devour Mother 2, Mother 3, Mother 4, and Mother 99. In the end, you will monopolize all the mother’s power and become the ultimate winner in the war of raising poisonous worms… Mother Body 2 has become stronger than the mother in the ancient era, hasn’t it?”

Meng Chao took a deep breath, forcibly repressing the raging waves deep in his brain, and questioned in a seemingly calm manner.
