Chapter 168: The Styx Civilization
Although Xu Luo wanted to catch all the top alien geniuses in one net, this matter was naturally not that simple.
At this moment, no one had entered the God's Tomb. Everyone was engaged in a melee while eyeing the entrance of the tomb. If anyone tried to sneak in, they would instantly face attacks from all sides.
Clearly, they all wanted to eat alone.
After all, there was only one Divine Spark, and this was the most precious thing they wanted to snatch. Compared to the Divine Spark, everything else was unimportant.
Even if they could snatch the Divine Spark, it would be worth sacrificing their own Divine Domain.
After obtaining the Divine Spark, they wouldn't be expelled from God's Domain. At that time, they could apply for a Divine Domain login qualification from their civilization, or ask their civilization to seize a Divine Domain for their development, which would naturally be satisfied.
Earlier, Xu Luo had shown the strongest power, so he was driven out first.
After his retreat, these alien races began to fight among themselves.
Moreover, the alien races that were there from the beginning joined forces against the powerful beings that arrived later.
Regardless of whether they were from the same civilization, they had a tacit understanding not to give outsiders the chance to compete with them for this opportunity.
The Divine Spark was too precious. In the Novice Divine Domain, it was a treasure that could be encountered but not sought. If they could obtain it now, it would be like ascending to heaven in one step, leaving many others far behind.
Although this was a feast among top geniuses, as more people learned about it, the news couldn't be contained.
More and more people from other civilizations learned about this news and rushed over quickly. Many people actually didn't have enough strength, but people from any civilization had dreams. What if they were the ones to get this Divine Spark in the end?
Although most of them were eliminated by those geniuses as soon as they arrived, it still couldn't stop many people, filled with greed, from coming one after another.
At first, Xu Luo was just watching from afar, but after a while, he suddenly realized.
This was an opportunity for him! He had been painstakingly searching for plane worlds before, wasn't it to let Alpha Assimilation Zerg play its role?
But now, wasn't this a ready-made opportunity?
So many alien Demi-Gods were fighting here, countless Divine Domains were moved here, and innumerable units were engaged in a melee. At this time, except for his own, everyone else's were enemies.
In this situation, it was unrealistic to notice anything unusual.
After realizing this, he hurriedly opened a teleportation channel quietly, then sent a large number of Alpha Assimilation Zerg into the battlefield, and decisively cut off the connection.
After that, he just needed to wait quietly.
It really lived up to the saying, "In spring I plant a seed, quietly waiting for the harvest."
Now Xu Luo was just like this.
At first, the Alpha Assimilation Zerg naturally didn't have anything eye-catching. They just continuously scattered their seeds, merging with those beings on the battlefield, then slowly making them enter regression. As for the small Zerg eggs, who would notice them on the battlefield?
Countless Gods gathered here, each driving their believers to fight for them. There were too many creatures gathered here. Even if only a small portion could be assimilated by him, it would be a huge harvest for Xu Luo.
Coincidentally, his Zerg needed to expand their ranks, especially for Fire Locusts and Stam Ray Worms. His demand for these was endless, so the more Zerg eggs he could get, the better.
During peacetime, if there were extra Zerg eggs, Xu Luo would generally increase the number of Stam Ray Worms, letting them accumulate continuously.
Unlike other Zerg, Stam Ray Worms didn't need to charge on the front lines, so they basically wouldn't suffer any damage.
So far, no one had been able to directly attack the interior of Xu Luo's starships. Although the Zerg suffered losses, they were basically killed by others during external invasions.
Xu Luo spared no effort in cultivating these little ones.
Basically, when there was extra faith power, he would allocate a portion to these little ones to enhance their strength. The more of them there were and the stronger they became, the more powerful their beam attacks would be.
The strike power of Stam Ray Worms was the strongest method in Xu Luo's arsenal so far. Basically, in outer space, he stood invincible.
Whatever plane worlds or Gold-tier creatures were all trash under the beam attacks of countless Stam Ray Worms.
In the face of such a great battle, individual power was often very insignificant. In this kind of melee, it was basically about preserving one's own strength first and then weakening others.
However, some people didn't come solely for the God's Tomb.
Some people knew their strength wasn't enough and they couldn't snatch good things. Facing those top geniuses, they had no advantage at all. However, whenever there was such a big battle, they would come to join the excitement.
It wasn't just to watch the excitement, but in such situations, they could easily fish in troubled waters and get many good things. This was what they needed.
In such a big melee with so many people, it often didn't attract much attention to secretly seal some of others' units, or quietly dig some rare materials, or even directly pack and take away rare resources from others' Divine Domains.
If it were normal times, when outsiders entered one's Divine Domain, the Domain Lord could easily discover them. But in this melee situation, there might be dozens of others' units in one Divine Domain. At this time, even if someone was secretly doing bad things, it wouldn't be easily discovered.
Just like how no one could discover the Alpha Assimilation Zerg assimilating these people's units.
At this time, top geniuses from the human side also arrived on the battlefield, joining the battle. They didn't show any reaction to Xu Luo, after all, he wasn't familiar with these people.
If it weren't for the human civilization's mark, he wouldn't even know these were humans.
Because in God's Domain, you couldn't simply distinguish people from each civilization by appearance or race. A human might appear as a dragon, an elf, or an angel in God's Domain. Other alien races might also have human appearances.
However, at this time, Xu Luo just needed to be a quiet spectator. As long as no one entered the God's Tomb, he didn't need to do anything, just wait to grab the final fruits of victory.
Of course, if these people fought until their brains came out, suffered heavy losses, and there were enough benefits, he would definitely take the opportunity to snatch the benefits.
However, seeing so many corpses lying there, he really couldn't bear to watch, so he directly teleported a large number of Mayflies over.
Compared to Fire Locusts, Mayflies were hardly noticeable to the naked eye. Even on the battlefield, they were difficult to discover.
As for Fire Locusts, if there were too many, the target would be too big and easily discovered by others.
It was also possible to let Mayflies collect evolution points and then use them to feed Fire Locusts.
Now that Xu Luo had more and more Zerg under his command, the demand for evolution crystals was also increasing.
After all, according to his plan, the standard configuration for a starship was at least one Leviathan and two Gold Tier 9 Xenomorphs.
If there were extra resources, they would naturally be used to form a mobile force.
Although Zerg relied on vast numbers to achieve victory, it didn't mean they didn't need high-end combat power.
With the suppression in the Novice Divine Domain, it was difficult to produce Legendary-tier creatures. Even during projections, it wasn't possible to produce Dark Gold-tier ones.
Therefore, at this time, Xu Luo could only settle for second best and pursue an increase in the number of other Zerg.
Unable to use the Zerg's advantage of easy advancement to produce creatures beyond the current level to suppress opponents, he could only increase their numbers.
Anyway, whether in consumption or increase, Zerg had huge advantages compared to other creatures.
The situation on the battlefield became increasingly chaotic, with top geniuses from one civilization after another arriving with a group of minions. Most people wouldn't move their Divine Domains here. They would basically let their civilization's people come to explore first, then obtain the coordinates before performing long-distance teleportation.
When there were huge benefits, many civilizations would make such choices, letting some people with less potential go to explore the way. They would act as vanguards for those geniuses, and their losses would naturally be compensated afterward.
Looking around, the distant horizon was filled with one dazzling golden light pillar after another, with countless units emerging from them.
Xu Luo had no intention of joining the battle. At this time, he just let the Mayflies perform. In this short time, he had obtained a new type of gene, enriching his gene bank. It had been a long time since new creature genes were added to the gene bank.
Compared to the last time when Ying Yingluo became a God and countless civilizations came to snipe her, this time the commotion was even bigger.
Because last time, those who took action were basically civilizations that had grudges against human civilization or were nearby, unwilling to see too powerful geniuses appear on the human side.
But this time was different. Last time only involved nearby civilizations, while those civilizations far away had no interest involvement with them. Sometimes they were even willing to provide some help to humans because it had no impact on themselves.
But this time was different. The Divine Spark represented personal interests. Whoever snatched it would own it. No civilization could ignore a Divine Spark.
Because a Divine Spark represented at least one True God position, and True God combat power was not an insignificant figure in any civilization. Even in level 8 or 9 civilizations, True Gods were the backbone force.
It was because of the emergence of the Divine Spark and its wide-ranging influence that countless civilizations gathered here, making this battle even more intense.
Just as Xu Luo was watching this melee, suddenly, not far from him, dozens of golden light pillars appeared consecutively, followed by one starship after another flying out.
After seeing the mark on them, without any hesitation, Xu Luo directly chose to let his starships fly away, distancing himself from them.
This was the appearance of a high-level civilization.
It seemed that the attraction of this Divine Spark was indeed great enough to draw out the "Styx" civilization, one of the level 8 civilizations.
"Commander Cocoxia, sir, a Demi-God from human civilization is rapidly moving away from our direction. Do we need to pursue?" A mechanical voice sounded in the Styx civilization's starship.
Cocoxia, completely wrapped in black armor, quickly replied after hearing the voice.
"No need to bother. Don't create extra troubles at this time. Our mission is to snatch this Death God Divine Spark. Don't pay too much attention to other things."
"As you wish, Commander," the mechanical voice in the starship quickly responded before falling silent.
"It seems the cabinet astrologer was correct. The place where that Death God fell was indeed in the Novice Divine Domain. However, we didn't expect that after searching for so many years, it would finally be discovered by others," Cocoxia said with some regret.
Because now that the God's Tomb had emerged and the news of the Divine Spark was spreading wildly, it wouldn't be so easy for him to take away the Divine Spark silently.
The Styx civilization was special compared to other civilizations.
Because the supreme ruler of the Styx civilization was the Lord of Death, corresponding to the Lord of Light.
Basically, all people of the Styx civilization chose paths related to the Death God system.
For them, the Death God Divine Spark was the most compatible with their path.
Previously, a native Death system God had fallen, but after their fall, their Divine Kingdom fell from the Astral Realm. No one knew where it finally landed, whether it was wandering in the void or had directly fallen into the abyss.
In the Styx civilization, Gods proficient in divination began to specifically calculate, and it wasn't until recently that they finally determined that Divine Kingdom had ultimately fallen into the Novice Divine Domain.
However, before they could determine the final location, the news of this Divine Spark broke out. At this time, they realized they didn't need to wait to determine the specific location anymore. Others had already taken the lead, and now they just needed to pick up the ready-made opportunity.
Therefore, after the Styx civilization urgently determined the location of the outbreak of the great battle, they directly performed ultra-long-distance positioning, teleporting Cocoxia, a genius from the Styx civilization, over.
As a high-level civilization, his strength was naturally incomparable to those from low-level civilizations. In the Novice Divine Domain, few from low-level civilizations could contend with him.
