Otherworldly Desert Dust

"My plan," Li Feng said, "is to annex the Longevity Sect and secure the Yuan You Mine from them. After that, we can initiate a Space Wander at the Nuwa God End, allowing us to leave Red Port."

Space Wander is a type of Divine Skill that occurs during the movement of the Nuwa God End, similar to the Five-colored Streams in Pure Land. Anyone stepping into these streams will travel swiftly along with the flow.

When the Nuwa God End enters Space Wander, numerous Five-colored Cloud Streams form around the thin realm. Walking upon these Cloud Streams, every step of the Nuwa God End traverses countless mountains. The otherworldly is immensely vast, some land even lying barren and empty. If movements were always slow, one might not even be able to leave a small otherworldly zone.

"Whether it's Space Wander or Time Travel, do they still require an ample amount of Yuan You Energy?" Wu Hen asked.

Li Feng nodded.

After leaving the Divine Python Earth Vein, the Nuwa God End experienced a recovery of Spiritual Energy and often entered the state of Space Wander while moving in the otherworldly.

As for Time Travel, it did indeed occur once, when Li Feng saw an incredible scene at the Cloud Wood End. As the Nuwa God End stepped onto a patch of green, the withered flowers began to regenerate backward, even the melted glacier water flowed back up into the glaciers. Everything seemed to reverse in time, the trampled turned whole again, the withered bloomed...

Li Feng remembered clearly that it was not a natural cycle of purification; it was more akin to a movie scene where the destroyed sceneries were rewound.

However, aside from these natural ecologies, humans and creatures remained unaffected by the reversal of time.

Thus, Li Feng speculated that this time was narrow in scope, confined to a limited interval, and moreover, it excluded animal creatures.

Even so, this narrow definition of time was sufficient. If they could halt the Red Tide, then once the Nuwa God End entered Space Wander, practically no Venerable Desert Dust could pursue it.

Moreover, the Red Tide possessed a certain spatial blocking force. If hit by the Red Tide during Space Wander, the Nuwa God End could be forced out of the wander state, then pushed back toward Red Port by the waves of the Red Tide.

"Could there be a possibility that the original entry into Time Travel by the Nuwa God End was triggered by a Spirit Awakener acquiring a Time Yuan You?" Wu Hen suggested.

At this remark, a gleam appeared in Chief Li's eyes!

Exactly!

The Nuwa God End needs a vast amount of Yuan You, serving as nourishment like rain and dew.

And different Yuan You have unique attributes and qualities. If a human Spirit Awakener, by chance, gathered an extremely rare Time Yuan You, it could have triggered the Time Travel of the Nuwa God End!

Even elusive rainbows follow the rule of appearing after rain.

Similarly, Time Travel of the Nuwa God End must also have a triggering condition, likely related to Yuan You collected in the wild!

"I remember the timing of that accidental wander. Besides, we have an intelligence department that records everyone who has obtained Yuan You. Just checking there, we'll know if someone acquired a Time Yuan You during that period!" Chief Li's speech quickened significantly, his excitement evident.

If they could verify this, they could then decipher the rules for the Nuwa God End's entry into Time Travel!

Chief Li quickly drafted this intelligence research task and sent it to Shen Wenhai.

Shen Wenhai immediately relayed it to the entire intelligence collection department. With the current computing power, pinpointing the precise details from a mass of information wouldn't be difficult, not even requiring a full day.

"Alright, there should be results very soon," Li Feng said.

Li Feng took a deep breath, his expression no longer downcast as before. Instead, his entire demeanor lit up with a glow of curiosity and hope, like someone standing on the earth looking up at the Star River, humble yet harboring vast dreams.

"So it seems, annexing the Longevity Sect remains a priority," Wu Hen said.

"Indeed, we need the Nuwa God End to maintain Space Wander. That is the foundation of our escape," Li Feng responded with a nod.

Since the ability to awaken was locked away, human Spirit Awakeners couldn't venture far to gather Yuan You.

And with Red Port barren, searching the way of the Desert Dust Life yielded limited quantities of Yuan You.

Under such circumstances, there was only one choice!

Seize the Yuan You Mines from other Human Clan forces!

"If we proceed as initially planned, even if we annex the Longevity Sect, it seems we are not far from debacle," Li Feng continued.

"Why?" asked Wu Hen, puzzled.

"We can think of it this way—when we raise some pets with fangs and claws, we let different breeds fight in the same cage. Typically, they are not allowed to kill each other, but even if one side does kill the other, they really don't care. This is why after you wiped out the Poison Sub-humans, the Wind Marquis only gave you a warning. Essentially, this maintains all Human Clan forces in conflict without getting too arrogant, forgetting who the real ruler of this Red Port is," Li Feng explained.

Wu Hen thought it over and found Chief Li's reasoning very sound.

If the Nuwa Lineage were to heavily attack the Longevity Sect, the high-dimensional insects masquerading as Marquis would were willing and would permit it.

But if they knew that humans were capturing the Yuan You Mines to provide the Nuwa God End with the means to escape, the Marquis would likely intervene.

This intervention could doom them, potentially trapping them in Red Port forever, or worse, being processed as feed for other carnivorous pets raised by the high-dimensional insects.

The Longevity Sect could be destroyed,

or it could also be absorbed into the Longevity Sect.

But the Yuan You Mine of the Longevity Sect, that couldn't be touched!

Touching it would offend the tolerance limits of the high-dimensional insects, and they would surely interfere.

"We need to hide our true intentions." Wu Hen stroked his chin, his mind also rapidly considering possibilities.

"How well do you understand the Holy Sect now?" Li Feng asked.

"This Red Port Saint Sect has a total of four masters. Xin Feng has already died, there's a mad master who seems to be mentally contaminated by the Otherworldly Dust and is always in seclusion. The remaining two, one is Cai Huang, and the other is Jiao Zhu. Cai Huang's strength is not as great as Jiao Zhu's, so the major power of the Holy Sect is still in Jiao Zhu's hands."

"There's also good news, Cai Huang should firmly stand by my side."

At that moment, Wu Hen also informed Li Feng about the situation with his second sister, Cai Lan.

Upon hearing this, Li Feng even showed a smile on his face. Experience more tales on My Virtual Library Empire

"It seems that every cloud has a silver lining; this gives us an opportunity!" Li Feng squinted his eyes, resembling a benevolent old fox.

"What, we also want to absorb the Holy Sect on that side?" Wu Hen raised his eyebrows, feeling that Chief Li's idea was not bad at all. Boldness is necessary, otherwise, one would always live under someone else's roof.

"Actually, if we truly absorb the Red Port Holy Sect, the high-dimensional insects would be pleased; it would be like performing a play of lower beings counterattacking for them," Li Feng said.

"But our goal isn't to amuse them." Wu Hen said.

"Exactly, too much attention would actually be detrimental to us. If this was a territory once victorious through domination, we indeed need to extend our objectives. Absorbing the Red Port Holy Sect is a matter of time…" Li Feng said.

He was like an ambitious marshal.

Even if he really journeyed upon the path of dominance, he would enjoy the process.

"Since we can't take the Yuan You Mine from the Longevity Sect, we can offer it to the Holy Sect after obtaining it, to seek absolute protection from the Red Port Holy Sect…" Li Feng said.

Upon hearing this, Wu Hen immediately understood Chief Li's intention!

To offer it to the Red Port Sacred Sect was essentially to let the Sect temporarily keep it.

Being the second in command of the Sect, and his previous persona being a protector of the Nuwa lineage,

when the Nuwa lineage rose and destroyed the Longevity Sect, offering the Yuan You Mine to their own Red Port Holy Sect would seem reasonable and appropriate.

From the perspective of the high-dimensional insects, these humans of the Nuwa God End were merely seeking protection from the Red Port Holy Sect, hoping to climb from the sewers into the sunlight, becoming middlegrade people of the Red Port!

Indeed, when a little gecko climbs to a crack, its intentions are too obvious to its keeper and would surely attract a destructive onslaught, with a fate not much better than that of the Hao Clan's Ark.

But if this little gecko, using fighting other lizards as a pretext, uses the stronger bodies of other lizards to break the crack while ostensibly fighting and suddenly sneaking into the crevice to escape, even a smart keeper might not react in time!

"This plan is good!" Wu Hen couldn't help but become excited.

Thus, they would absorb their biggest current rival, the Longevity Sect.

And also dispel the concerns of the high-dimensional insects.

"However, with such a large mine, Master Jiao Zhu will certainly be tempted. From Jiao Liecheng's overbearing actions, we can roughly infer that this Master Jiao Zhu will definitely fight for it," Wu Hen said.

"Yes, you've considered very thoroughly," Chief Li nodded, increasingly satisfied with this young man. Truly deserving of being the best among a vast number of Spirit Awakeners, his thinking was keen and always maintained empathetic perspectivetaking.

"We don't need to absorb the Red Port Holy Sect, but we must hold absolute sway over it... tsk tsk, that would be interesting!" Wu Hen also showed a smile.

This goal was attainable, especially knowing that Master Cai Huang actually relied on him to climb up using his second sister Cai Lan's connection!

He could join forces with Cai Huang and eliminate the head of the Red Port Holy Sect, Master Jiao Zhu!

"All this time, we have been hiding our strength in Red Port; it is also time to let these arrogant and conceited other forces know the power of our lineage!" Li Feng said.

Competing with the Human Clan Force.

And even playing games with high-dimensional insects!

For modern humans, escaping the circle of high-dimensional insects would be the most exhilarating victory!

Moreover, all mankind would enter the virtual era described by Li Feng, giving even those who walk in the Otherworldly Desert Dust some life security, not to live without dignity!
