Chapter 273: The Red Moon and the Plan_3
```
"Meiyu has broken through to the Third Order, and there are Third Order Monsters in the dungeon; she used her Contribution Value to exchange for a Third Order Holy Helmet Beetle."
Su Han was taken aback and gave a smile, "She should have advanced earlier, as the primary force safeguarding the rear, it's good that she advanced sooner. How are the first and second Angel Envoys doing?"
"The Rotpoison Ratman Fusion is a combination of a Second-order Gray Inferior Demon and a Corpse Ghost, with an injection from a Centipede-mouthed Blood Toad, the Divine Initiation Ritual went smoothly, advancing it to a Lower Tier of the Third Order toxic blood rat abomination, with the Rat-Type Abomination immediately following, having fused with a Second-order beetle and a Locust Bat Insect, evolving into a Lower Tier of the Third Order winged rat abominations, gaining Flight Ability, but its size is actually quite substantial."
The improvement in Yan Meiyu's strength was no small matter for the Tree Domain.
In charge of logistics, one must possess both ability and strength, and cannot fall behind anyone who commands the armed forces.
After discussing Yan Meiyu, Bai Qilan brought up the matter of the fissures in the other dimension.
"Our organization's researchers, search teams, and other troops stationed to patrol the other dimension have conducted tests on the remaining spatial rifts."
Su Han raised his eyebrows and inquired, "How did it go?"
"We utilized Blood-winged Tigers and Spiritual Energy Cannons to carry out tests, using Blood-winged Tigers of differing strengths to charge at the edge of the Spiritual Energy Blood Sea. So far, the furthest is a Second-order Superior Blood-winged Tiger, which charged about thirty kilometers, erosion caused it to lose control, but the same situation also saw attacks from winged monsters.
The Cannon's assault reached a forty-kilometer mark, a few kilometers shy from the boundary. We did not dare to bombard recklessly, winged monsters appeared infrequently, but the tumult of the Spiritual Energy Blood Sea could be categorized as Fourth Grade."
"Fourth Grade?"
Su Han showed a puzzled expression, "Is that the tier you established?"
"Mm-hmm."
Bai Qilan nodded, "The fluctuations from the First to the Fourth Grade, the First Grade is actually the normal state, ordinary tumult that overflows with Spiritual Energy to create average Blood Sea Monsters, which are the Gray Inferior Demons and Corpse Ghosts.
Most of the time, the other dimension maintains this state, absorbing both energy from the Great Blood Sea and the external world's mental energy, as well as constantly overflowing."
Although they have not made substantial contact with the Great Blood Sea, Bai Qiuwen and his team have some initial speculations, the Great Blood Sea and the other dimension's Blood Sea must be interconnected to some degree, influencing each other.
"Are the Second, Third, and Fourth Grades determined by monsters' ranks?"
"Not entirely, they are determined based on energy levels."
Bai Qilan continued to explain, "The greater the stimulation to the Blood Sea, especially the collective will representing the Blood Sea Demons, Gray Inferior Demons, etc., as the source of those monsters, the stronger the rebound it can provoke, as if guarding its territory. The cannon bombardment incurs the most subdued reaction.
But strong individual intervention, or attempts to approach the boundary, would elicit a much more noticeable response. However, at least it confirms that if we do not take excessive actions, we are temporarily safe."
Su Han's mouth curled up as he said, "What if we could seize control?"
"What?"
"The Nine-Snake Mother Tree Fusion was successful, though only preliminary, but one could clearly feel a closer connection to the Spiritual Energy Blood Sea, if this continues, we might be in the same league as the Blood Sea Demons."
Bai Qilan furrowed her brow, immediately catching on, "Wait, based on what you're saying, the stronger the power, the deeper the involvement, the greater the control over the other dimension, the Blood Sea Demons, the Gray Inferior Demons, Corpse Ghosts, and even us outsiders, as long as we significantly snatch away and merge with the other dimension's energy, are all contenders in this race...
No, not contenders, they should be likened to parasites."
Her eyes reflected shock, and Su Han's eyebrows also slightly furrowed when he heard the term 'parasites', as the speculation seemed somewhat unsettling.
"Possibly, whether they are parasites is not certain, but there can only be one who controls the other dimension, and probably only one that can break through the barrier, this is my intuition."
Enjoy exclusive adventures from empire
It was intuition, but also a strong hint received deep within after the initial fusion.
Bai Qilan's delicate eyebrows slightly knitted as she asked, "So are you going to continue merging with the Spiritual Energy Blood Sea?"
Su Han looked surprised and asked, "Why do you ask?"
Bai Qilan explained, "Meiyu, Old Zhu, and others jointly submitted a plan to reclaim the surrounding counties, firstly to gather survivors, expand the camp, and secondly to expand the Tree Domain's perimeter, forming strategic defenses for the Tree Domain. It may conflict a bit with your plan."
