I Contracted All Ancient Divine Artifacts-Chapter 378 - 277: The Longevity Company’s Conspiracy

Chapter 378: Chapter 277: The Longevity Company’s Conspiracy

Nightmare?

When he heard this name, Han Zhan felt an inexplicable sense of absurdity.

Is it the Tier Nine Insect Emperor who once single-handedly attacked Deep Blue City and was slain by Li Shutong?

Later, when the four great Insect Emperors besieged Li Shutong together, it completely perished.

Why would Frog mention its name?

Wait a minute.

Nightmare’s ability is related to dreams.

The Deformation Potion developed by Dream Demon Frog is also related to dreams.

Could it be...

"Judging by your expression, you must have guessed it already."

"That’s right, starting with the death of the Tier Nine Insect Emperor Nightmare, Longevity Company had already begun the layout. That’s also why we agreed to the hunt for Li Shutong."

The world only pays attention to the obvious results, thinking that the hunt was a fruitless task for Longevity Company.

Even because of this, Longevity Company was ridiculed by several major forces for a long time.

Who could have guessed that their target from the very beginning was not Li Shutong, not the Great Xia Territory, not Han Zhan.

Their only goal all along was the genetic cells of the Tier Nine Insect Emperor Nightmare!

"Using Nightmare’s genetic cells as a foundation, I could finally develop the truly perfect No. 001 Deformation Potion, completely solving the problem of the Spiritual Energy Body."

"I must say we’re quite fated, including that moment in Titan City, which also had my calculations involved."

Frog readily admitted.

Titan City?

In Han Zhan’s memory, he indeed once clashed with Longevity Company’s Mutant Walker in the museum of Titan City.

The targets of those Mutant Walkers at the time should have been some rare treasures in the museum.

It turned out this was also a part of Frog’s Deformation Potion refinement!

"So, you couldn’t handle the powerful Tier Nine Insect Emperor Nightmare, so you used my teacher’s hands to slay it."

"After the Mutant Walker stole the rare treasures from the Titan City Museum during the chaos, you succeeded in formulating the perfect No. 001 Deformation Potion."

"At this time, when the opportunity was ripe, you deliberately disguised as Chen Tao, deceived the Mutant Walker, and used a false ability on Xiao Jin, compelling her to return to the City of Extreme Evil, fulfilling the condition of ’Returner’ in the prophecy!"

"When your main body in the City of Extreme Evil saw the Returner appear, a series of things like rescuing the Life and Death Apostle followed!"

Han Zhan wasn’t a fool.

After knowing those schemes from the start, the subsequent developments were self-evident.

Frog’s Spiritual Energy Body could actively split; Han Zhan had seen this on the Slaughter Battlefield long ago.

Splitting off another body and leaving the City of Extreme Evil to return to the outside world was not an impossibility.

"I just don’t understand why, if you split your Spiritual Energy Body into three, you could exchange memories between the ’you’ inside the City of Extreme Evil and the ’you’ outside."

To Han Zhan’s question, Frog also unreservedly explained:

"The Spiritual Energy Body is different from your humans’ conventional cognition, and is quite similar to the soul decomposition of the Life and Death Apostle."

"As long as they are under the same spacetime, the individuals split from the same Spiritual Energy Body can share memories."

"The Slaughter Battlefield opens every fifty years, so our memories also synchronize every fifty years."

"The Returner has never had a fixed candidate. The ’I’ outside is responsible for monitoring these potential returners’ movements, while the ’I’ inside the City of Extreme Evil is responsible for updating and winning the memories related to the Slaughter Battlefield winners."

"Once the time is ripe, I will induce them to return."

During the same spacetime, the Spiritual Energy Body can exchange memories.

The Slaughter Battlefield produces a winner every fifty years; when he/she leaves the City of Extreme Evil, the inside and outside will temporarily be under the same spacetime.

And the Spiritual Energy Body in the Ultimate Slaughter Battlefield, due to the limitations of the rules, synchronized the memory only after it became the behind-the-scenes manipulator of Social Level 5!

A clear thread of Longevity Company’s conspiracy emerged.

"Why are you telling me this?" Han Zhan’s gaze fell on Frog.

"Because I admire you."

"Strong individuals are always lonely, especially on the path of pursuing truth."

"If you wish, I can custom-build a No. 001 Deformation Potion for you and join me to embrace the forbidden and future of science!"

Frog was undoubtedly a mad scientist.

But when he said these words, his tone was very sincere.

He was indeed seriously inviting Han Zhan.

Han Zhan shook his head without hesitation.

"Sorry, I am not like you. Whether it’s the path to becoming stronger or my attitude towards life and this world, we have fundamental differences."

"What you disregard is precisely what I treasure."

"Therefore, I refuse."

Hearing Han Zhan reject his invitation, regret appeared on Frog’s face.

But soon, regret receded, and madness and killing intent surged.

"If I can’t obtain it, then I will destroy it!"

"The Source of Slaughter must be on you, precisely a chance to take you all down!"

Frog lost patience. As soon as he finished speaking, the ground beneath Han Zhan and his group suddenly began to sink sharply.

A deep abyssal mouth full of countless sharp teeth instantly swallowed the land they stood upon.

No. 002 Deformed Walker, fused with genetic cells—the Abyssal Mouth!

"I once encountered someone who liked chatting, taking the chance to launch a surprise attack."

"Since then, I also cultivated the same good habit."

Faced with this situation, Han Zhan did not show any panic. With the soft sound of a zither, a whirl of wind wrapped around everyone, pulling them back.

The devouring of the Abyssal Mouth continued.

It forcibly swallowed the original forest whole, turning it into a bottomless chasm!

It also blocked the route for Han Zhan and his group to retreat northward.

At that moment, a Quantum Teleportation Gate appeared out of thin air in the sky.

As light flickered within the Gate, a Starry Sky Battleship, a thousand times larger than a Star Destroyer, roared and jumped successfully!

Looking up at the massive gray-armored Starry Sky Battleship overhead, which loomed like an enormous cloud.

A voice echoed from within the Starry Sky Battleship.

"Hand over the Heaven Net Core and the Source of Slaughter, and I might spare your lives."

"This is not Titan City; strategic weapons over Level 5 can be deployed at any time."

What arrogance, the voice echoed across the open field.

People of Can Shang Technology had also arrived.

At this sight, a sense of déjà vu made Han Zhan’s gaze grow colder.

"I still remember, the day my teacher died, you also forced me, just like today."

"It seems, the sword from Titan City didn’t hurt you enough, the upper management, so used to being high and mighty, even the tone of speech is so nauseating."

"You all want to kill me? Then come!"

"I will turn you upside down!"
