205: Little Demon's Disaster
Lin Chuping was Cultivating when he received the System notification.
Everything was proceeding in an orderly fashion; there was a surplus of incense value every day, and Lin Chuping finally had time to calm down and properly improve his strength.
During the day, he would help his followers with small tasks, and at night, he would enter seclusion, keeping himself happily busy.
Feeling great.
"Host, Host, Little Green Snake and Rat Spirit found something incredible in the Ten Thousand Mountains."
Lin Chuping slowly finished his Cultivation, not flustered in the slightest.
With the incense value as his backup, he was that confident.
"Oh? Weren't those two little fellows with Lin Hu at White Tiger Cliff?"
The System's light screen flickered.
"It's precisely because they are more lively and active that they discovered it. In a way, it's quite an achievement."
An image suddenly projected onto the light screen.
Twisting, writhing black veins, a bizarre core pulsating like a heart, and the eerie blue pupils flickering within the translucent egg sacs.
Most importantly, there were prominent names and descriptions.
Lin Chuping slowly read out each word: "Night, Erosion, Seed?"
Who came up with that name? So chuuni.
"That's right!"
The System's light screen cheerfully popped up with a fireworks emoji.
"The scientific name is 'Night Erosion Realm Seed Core,' which is the dormant form of an Extraterrestrial life form. However, everyone is used to abbreviating it as Night Erosion Seed!"
Lin Chuping brushed off non-existent dust from his sleeve.
"System, that name would be better abbreviated as Night Seed!"
"Oh, Host, don't interrupt!"
"The main point is this rift valley that Doctor A Lei and his team discovered. According to the scan, this is an infant!"
Lin Chuping glanced at the massive rift valley on the light screen, which was almost as wide as a small building. "You're telling me this is an infant?"
"System, you call this an 'infant'? How big would an adult be?"
"According to the database records."
A star map appeared on the System's light screen, "A fully developed Night Erosion Realm Seed Core can typically reach the size of a small star!"
The size ratio marked on the star map made Lin Chuping raise his eyebrows: "So this 'little friend' is just yawning right now?"
"Strictly speaking, it's breathing."
The System popped up a cute emoticon, (￣▽￣*)ゞ
"But Host, don't worry, it is indeed in its infancy and still sleeping. Aside from mental pollution, it can't cause any harm."
Lin Chuping thoughtfully stroked his chin, gazing at the constantly writhing black veins on the light screen, his eyes gradually sharpening:
"System, is this an indigenous species of the Six Realms?"
"No, it's an Extraterrestrial life form, also known as an Extraterrestrial Demon."
After the System finished speaking, it seemed to have automatically triggered some protection mechanism, and the light screen suddenly turned dark red, an alarm blaring urgently:
"Warning! Extraterrestrial Demon energy signature detected!"
"Species Name: Night Erosion Demon (Infant Form)"
"Danger Rank: World-Destroying (Growing)"
"Suggested Course of Action: Immediate Elimination"
"System, you're making things a bit difficult for me. Can I even go to the Ten Thousand Mountains?"
"You can't."
"Then can I defeat it?"
"You can't."
"Then can Lin Hu defeat it?"
"He can't."
Then what's the point of talking about it!
Lin Chuping, in a fit of anger, got angry for a moment.
Just looking at this monstrous thing on the light screen, every word screamed 'not to be trifled with.' If the System hadn't suddenly popped up, he would have preferred to pretend he didn't see it.
Survival first.
Lin Chuping stared at the writhing black veins on the light screen, his brows furrowing even tighter unconsciously.
He wasn't afraid of battle, but this thing... it really made him lose his Battle Intent.
"System, this 'little friend' doesn't seem to be doing any evil. How about we let it go?"
"And let me go too," Lin Chuping secretly thought.
"Host, you are harboring a tiger to court calamity. The infant Night Erosion Demon already possesses the ability to bewitch and pollute. Once it matures, it will also have abilities such as pollution, devouring, and mimicry, with immense destructive power, capable of destroying an entire realm in almost a single day."
"I don't know how this Little Sky Demon was let in..."
Lin Chuping found the latter sentence inexplicable.
The Little Sky Demon was let in? Who let it in?
"System, explain yourself, what was let in?"
"Oh, Host, you misheard!"
The System's light screen suddenly switched to a cheerful pink, "I said, 'I don't know how it snuck in'~"
Lin Chuping narrowed his eyes: "System, you clearly said 'let in' just now."
"Bad signal, bad signal."
Static suddenly appeared on the light screen, "In short, this Little Sky Demon must be dealt with! Within a year!"
"Don't you dare change the subject on me."
Lin Chuping pressed down on the wildly flickering light screen, "What do you mean 'let in'? Who let it in?"
If he didn't figure out this question, he wouldn't be able to sleep well for a month.
The System's light screen suddenly turned pure blue, popping up an innocent emoticon: (´･ω･`)?
"Host, the most important thing now is to formulate a battle plan!"
"According to calculations, the optimal action window is during the lunar eclipse three months from now!"
"At that time, the Little Sky Demon will enter a brief period of weakness!"
Lin Chuping sneered, "System, the more you try to hide things like this, the more I feel there's a problem."
