153: Void Queen

Lin Chen followed a large number of Void Creatures.

The further he went, the more Void Creatures there were around him.

Void Creatures that would normally fight each other upon meeting were now advancing obediently, rushing towards their distant destination as if controlled by instinct.

Lin Chen was very curious about this and mingled among them, wanting to see what was going on.

Time is immeasurable in the Void.

After a long time, Lin Chen, riding on a whale-shaped Void Creature, arrived at the destination.

"??????"

With just one glance, Lin Chen felt a critical hit from the Void.

Innumerable Void Creatures were entangled together, engaging in a rather eye-scorching act of procreation.

Lin Chen was unsure if Void Creatures had genders or the instinct to procreate, but the countless Void Creatures before him were indeed procreating.

They entered any hole and thrust into any rod.

This method of procreation was too primitive.

During this process, eggs containing Void Power were continuously born out of thin air, and as the number of Void Eggs increased, many robust Void Creatures seemed to weaken, their life ranks constantly decreasing, and the Void Power within them also draining away.

Many Void Creatures also died, their corpses becoming a warm bed for the Void Eggs to hatch, providing the final protection for the hatching of the Void Eggs.

"Void Brood!"

It was then that Lin Chen belatedly realized what he had encountered.

This was clearly a sign of the Void Brood emerging.

When a Void Broodmother is born, she will naturally emit an aura that attracts Void Creatures; Void Creatures attracted by this aura will come to the Void Broodmother and spontaneously engage in primitive mating, giving birth to Void Brood Eggs.

Void Creatures attracted by the aura have essentially been parasitized by the Void Broodmother; even genderless Void Creatures will be affected by the reproductive rules on the Broodmother's body, automatically transforming into a form capable of gestating Void Brood Eggs.

Any Void Broodmother is at least a Lower God-level existence.

Lin Chen did not hesitate and immediately chose to run.

Fortunately, the Void Broodmother did not pay attention to him; his energy level was not outstanding among the Void Creatures, and the Broodmother was in the process of gestating the swarm, so she would not abandon a large group of Void Creatures and interrupt the process of gestating the swarm for one or two Void Creatures that escaped her control.

Lin Chen did not leave too far but hid in the distance, preparing to act as a physical coordinate.

Void Brood, one of the most dangerous groups of creatures in the Void, a Brood with Void Power is much more terrifying than ordinary Brood.

If this Void Brood were allowed to develop, This Universe could potentially be conquered by it.

So Lin Chen immediately communicated with his main body, relayed the situation here to his main body, and then entered a silent state, quietly observing this grand ceremony of Void Brood gestation.

In Lin Chen Dao Domain, Lin Chen's main body immediately emerged from seclusion and contacted Dr. Liu of the Federal Brood Research Institute.

Upon learning about the Void Broodmother, especially a newly born one, Dr. Liu immediately became excited.

She immediately contacted the Gods belonging to the Brood Research Institute; upon receiving the news, all Gods, unless truly unable to leave, responded to the call and went to the Void to capture the Void Broodmother.

Finally, after statistics, the Brood Research Institute dispatched fourteen Gods: three Upper Gods, five Middle Gods, and six Lower Gods.

The newly born Void Broodmother was only at the Lower God level; facing this lineup, the outcome was already determined, with the margin of error maximized.

The Void is still relatively dangerous; with three Upper Gods leading the team, the operation to capture the Void Broodmother was naturally smooth, and with ample power for escort, they could also smoothly bring the Void Broodmother back to the research institute.

The Federal Brood Research Institute's last research on the Void Brood was ten thousand years ago, and at that time, they only obtained a Void Broodmother that had been dead for a long time.

This time, it was a living Void Broodmother, with immense research value; not only could they research the Brood, but also Void Power.

Through this Void Broodmother, the Brood Research Institute could at least gain three more Lower Gods, and other researchers and professors at the Demigod and Ascension to God levels would also see their cultivation rise accordingly.

Lin Chen's main body did not participate in the operation to capture the Void Broodmother; his clone, God Lin Chen, merely served as a physical coordinate.

The Federal Brood Research Institute would naturally not treat Lin Chen, who provided the Void Broodmother's coordinates, unfairly.

After the Void Broodmother is captured, all those who profit from the Void Broodmother will owe Lin Chen a favor, needing to pay a large amount of resources and precious treasures to repay the favor.

Lin Chen is not short of resources for now and does not need the Brood Research Institute to pay resources to repay the favor; this favor will be kept for now and will naturally be useful in the future.

Once Lin Chen breaks through to become a God, these favors will become valuable; each favor is a cause and effect, and repaying favors can forge deeper levels of cause and effect; the deeper the causal link, the stronger the causal feedback.

The God team from the Brood Research Institute also chose to fall into the Void to enter it; with God Lin Chen serving as a physical coordinate, they naturally would not lose their way in the Void.

The speed of an Upper God is incredibly fast; a distance that would take Lin Chen a very long time to cross is merely a single step for an Upper God.

Lin Chen did not remain silent for long before fourteen Federal Gods appeared beside him; they arrived very quickly, not wasting any time on the way.

"Young friend, thank you for your trust in the Brood Research Institute. We are unworthy of this great gift; from now on, your matters are the matters of the Brood Research Institute."

"You overstate it, senior. It's all for humanity, for the Federation. I merely did what I should."

The one communicating with Lin Chen was the Vice President of the Brood Research Institute, a very ancient Upper God.

While the two were communicating, the other Gods had already charged into the Void Broodmother's breeding ground.

Six Lower Gods were responsible for collecting the Void Creatures controlled by the Void Broodmother, two Middle Gods were responsible for collecting the Void Brood Eggs, and three Middle Gods were responsible for capturing the Void Broodmother at the core of the breeding ground.

There were also two Upper Gods overseeing the operation, isolating the fluctuations in the breeding ground to prevent any leakage, lest it cause unnecessary accidents.

The more powerful the life form that enters the Void, the stronger the Void's reaction; the Void tends to corrode these powerful life forms and also attracts powerful Void Creatures, which will entangle the powerful life forms entering the Void to allow the Void to corrode them.

This mode of behavior is very unfriendly to powerful life forms entering the Void from a universe, but this is the operating mechanism of the Void.

Therefore, the God team of the Brood Research Institute dared not delay; the operation to capture the Void Broodmother was also chosen to be swift, not giving the Void a chance to react.

In just a moment, the Void Broodmother, at the Lower God level, was confined in a specially made cage, captured by three Middle Gods, and the Lower Gods and Middle Gods responsible for collecting the breeding ground also packed everything inside the breeding ground and took it away.

After completing all this, the God team of the Brood Research Institute also did not delay, immediately setting up a teleportation array to return to the Federal Territory of This Universe, not choosing to traverse the Void to return to This Universe.

The Void Broodmother holds a very high status in the Void; the Void acts on instinct and will not easily allow the God team of the Brood Research Institute to take away the Void Broodmother.

If they chose to traverse the Void to return to This Universe, powerful Void Creatures would certainly block their path, which is why they set up a teleportation array for a direct return.

"Young friend, we should leave now. The gates of the Brood Research Institute are always open for you; you are welcome to visit."

"Don't worry, senior, I will definitely visit the Brood Research Institute when I have time in the future."

Lin Chen watched the fourteen Gods depart.

Both parties understood each other tacitly and did not discuss what Lin Chen would gain after delivering the Void Broodmother; there were past examples to refer to.

The Brood Research Institute would not delay Lin Chen's reward, and Lin Chen was not afraid that the Brood Research Institute would renege on his reward.

Now, it was time for Lin Chen to run as well.

The Void in this area would surely become lively next; powerful Void Creatures would come sniffing around, gathering here, and perhaps even impact This Universe, opening up a localized Void battlefield on the outskirts of This Universe.

After all, the capture of the Void Broodmother meant that the Void lost some power, and the Void naturally would not let it go, instinctively choosing to get even.

Thus, war would be inevitable.
