The Boss Behind The Game

Regarding the starry fleet emerging in the sky and the metal man appearing in front of him, Lu Wu was still confused at first, not knowing the reason for its visit.

But when he heard the metal man calling himself an "intruder", Lu Wu immediately thought of the origin of the metal man in front of him.

The overlord from outside the territory who has established a huge technological empire "Celestial Weapons Legion" with pure technological development: Zero!

Thinking of his experience when he led the players to raid his hometown for mechanical energy, Lu Wu had already realized that the comer was evil.

But he didn't believe that "Zero" dared to attack him here.

Because this is the jurisdiction of the Holy Spirit Tribe, no matter how strong the "Heavenly Weapons Legion" under Ling's command is, they would not dare to compete with the Holy Spirit Tribe.

So Lu Wu was very calm.

Although he didn't know where "Zero" got the information about him, he was not afraid at all.

Hearing Lu Wu say his name, Ling said indifferently:

"Do you know who I am?"

"Of course, I bought enough information about you." Lu Wu said nonchalantly, and then asked:

"Then how do you know me? What do you want from me?"

"You led your tribe to attack my main base and stole a lot of my resources. What do you think I want from you?"

(PS: Please see Chapter 772 for this foreshadowing. When Lu Wu and the players destroyed the Heavenly Tool Corps base, the mastermind who chose to self-destruct said goodbye to the supreme leader "Zero".)

"Revenge?" Lu Wu asked curiously.

"Yes, but I can give you two choices!" Ling said with a smile.

"Tell me about it, but I definitely won't agree." Lu Wu said nonchalantly.

"First, the damage will be compensated ten times the loss. Second, you and your demon army will be destroyed together!"

"You came here just to threaten me?"

"Not entirely, I'm really curious now.

Why are you not afraid at all? Do you still have some cards in your hand that you think you can fight with me? "

Lu Wu did not deny this, but nodded cheerfully:

"Yes, I am not only confident that I can resist your attack, but I am also confident that I can destroy your Heavenly Weapons Army. Do you believe it or not!"

After hearing these words, Zero's eyes flashed with a bunch of data, he analyzed what Lu Wu said, and came up with a probability, as well as possible unknown situation guesses and other details.

After then searching from Lu Wu's facial expression to the existing information about the "Heaven Demon Army", a trace of surprise flashed in Ling's eyes:

"Can you tell me what your secret is? If I think your secret can really do this, then I will choose to leave!" These words sounded timid, but Zero was in an absolutely rational state. Speak out.

Because in Ling's opinion, there is nothing wrong with saying this. As long as Lu Wu is willing to reveal part of his secret and he confirms that Lu Wu indeed has the strength to compete with him, then he will not launch an attack on Lu Wu and the Demon Army.

The so-called revenge is a very emotional thing. In Zero's eyes, it can only weigh the pros and cons.

If Lu Wu really had that strength, going to war with him would inevitably cause more losses. This would be an act that outweighs the gains and losses for Zero.

Losing more profits in order to get compensation is too emotional in Zero's opinion.

In the same way, if Lu Wu reveals part of his secret information, Lu Wu can also reduce the losses caused by the war.

So Ling believes that letting Lu Wu tell the secret is an act that is beneficial to both parties.

Of course, all this is just zero analysis, Lu Wu would not think so at all.

Because his secret was exposed, the first person who wanted to kill him was not Zero, but the Holy Spirit King.

So as Lu Wu said before, he will not agree to any conditions.

Looking at Lu Wu who shook his head in refusal, a string of data flashed across Zero's eyes again. This time he didn't speak any more and floated towards the main ship.

Looking at Ling leaving, Lu Wu suddenly said:

"Zero, how about we talk about a deal, I think I have what you need!"

Hearing these words, Zero's figure paused, and then fell down to Lu Wu again, waiting for his next words.

"I guess you haven't found the path to eternal life until now. I'm right!" Lu Wu said with a smile.

After hearing these words, Zero's expression remained calm:

"Yes, I am still evolving and I am still far from the end!"

"No matter how much you evolve, it's useless. You will never reach the end, because the creator of this sky world is a cultivator. He is not on the technological side. Maybe you can become very strong by jumping out of the technological side of the world, but In this world created by cultivators, the soul is the foundation. You are missing the most important thing that all extraterrestrial creatures have!"

Lu Wu also had his own considerations when he said these words.

Because Zero reminded him of Ike, the strongest NPC among Hell Server players.

Although Ike's ability is not as powerful as Zero, he is still a kind of life form.

And their evolution method is also the same, that is, they constantly transform their bodies and upgrade themselves.

From the life state of 1.0, upgrade to a higher level step by step.

But as he just said, no matter how much this type of life evolves, it will never reach its end.

Because the main theme of this world is training and testing, although the technological side can also become powerful, the technological side cannot become the top force.

Whether it is the original Demon Clan, the Zerg Clan, or even the Holy Spirit Clan, which is the most powerful force at this stage, they all practice growth testing systems, but the methods they adopt are different.

But Zero is different. Zero is a purely technological development. Because it has no soul, it cannot be cultivated.

Hearing what Lu Wu said at this moment, a series of data flashed across Zero's eyes.

Although he was shocked inside, but with absolute reason, this emotion did not have any impact on Zero's judgment and thinking.

At this moment, he suddenly realized something. Lu Wu seemed to have what he wanted.

As for what this thing is, Zero once sought help from the most powerful, omniscient and omnipotent Holy Spirit King in the outside world, and was willing to provide huge resources as a bargaining chip.

However, the Holy Spirit King rejected it and did not even tell it whether this was possible.

Thinking of this, Zero raised his head:

"you are right?"

"Soul!" After saying these two words, Lu Wu smiled.

Because in his shining silver eyes, he read the message "Transaction Successful".

"Can you shape my soul?" Although Zero's tone was calm despite his absolute rationality, his silver eyes kept flashing.

"Yes, yes, but you have to tell me what you can pay for it in exchange!"

"I can give you whatever you want!" Zero said without hesitation.

In fact, Lu Wu had far underestimated Zero's desire for the soul. At its level, it had already discovered the flaws in its own evolution. For this reason, it tried many methods but failed to achieve any results.

During the experiment and self-understanding, Zero finally realized one thing. What he lacked was the least scarce but most important thing in the extraterrestrial world: the origin of the soul.

As Lu Wu said, this is a world of practitioners.

The strongest power only belongs to cultivators. Without souls, they have no chance to come into contact with the ultimate laws. Even ordinary laws of the great avenue cannot be carried by their pure metal bodies.

The development on the technological side is too extreme. Although it has the characteristics of rapid development and maximum combat efficiency, in this world created by practitioners, it also has great limitations.

Unless there is a breakthrough in this sky world, the development of science and technology will inevitably be bound by all laws outside the territory and cannot achieve endless growth.

But to break through this world, you first need extremely powerful power, but if you want to obtain extremely powerful power, you must have a soul that can carry power.

This is undoubtedly an endless cycle, which is why "Zero" went to find the Holy Spirit King in the first place, hoping to get help.

Even though the Holy Spirit King refused, he never gave up.

This was the decision he made when the first self-thinking question came into his mind.

What is the meaning of living?

Since you have chosen this path, you will not stop until you live forever!

At this moment, Zero was shocked when he heard Lu Wu said that he could give him a soul, but after analyzing the data, he believed that the credibility rate was only: 2.5124%.

The reason is simple, because he has done a lot of research in this area, so he clearly knows how difficult it is to cast a soul, and it is almost impossible to accomplish.

Unless that person has the ability to control the soul's original soul power at will.

Although there are many strong people who can seize bodies and erase other people's souls, controlling the level of soul power and erasing souls are completely different concepts.

In Zero's knowledge, no one in the outside world has such power.

If there is one, it will only be the most powerful "Holy Spirit King".

Therefore, Zero did not believe Lu Wu's statement because the probability was too low.

But even if it was a 0.001% possibility, Ling didn't want to miss it, so he said these words, wanting to know what Lu Wu needed.

"I heard that you have a Ji Dao Law in your hand?" Lu Wu asked curiously.

"Yes!" Zero did not deny this.

During his evolution again and again, he once longed to be able to load the ultimate law.

Even though he was unable to challenge the Ultimate Peak without a soul, he still did not give up. Instead, he relied on calculation and dormancy to finally kill a strong man who had just successfully challenged the Ultimate Peak and captured the Yakuza that had not yet been fully integrated in his body. law.

What Zero regrets is that it turns out that his mechanical body is simply unable to load the Yakuza Law, no matter how he tries.

Therefore, this ultimate law is always just a bargaining chip in his hands, and its value to himself is useless.

If Lu Wu really had that kind of ability, Zero would naturally be willing to exchange it for the Yakuza Principle in his hand.

After confirming that Ling had the Jida Law in his hand, Lu Wu smiled happily, then waved his hand, and a mist of soul power appeared in his hand and began to circle around his fingers.

Seeing this soul power mist, data flashed in front of Zero's eyes, the internal information database was activated, and then he suddenly said:

"If I guess correctly, the person the Holy Spirit Tribe is looking for recently is you!"

"Yes, if you want to cast a soul, I can give it to you, but from now on you will be on my boat, and the Holy Spirit King will also be your enemy. It depends on whether you dare!"

"Without a soul, there is no end. This is my choice!" Ling gave the answer with a smile.

In a state of absolute rationality, he will only weigh the pros and cons and will not be dominated by fear, even if the enemy is the Holy Spirit.

Because he knows that only with a soul can he have infinite possibilities. If he continues to evolve without a soul, he will only stand still and will never reach eternal life. Then if he initially chose to evolve, the meaning of living would no longer exist.

If Lu Wu could give him a way to eternal life, then all the benefits would be worthless compared to it.

Seeing Ling agreeing so decisively, Lu Wu also looked very surprised.

However, as long as the casting of "Zero's" soul is completed and the mark of the soul is left inside the artifact, he will be unable to break free, and Lu Wuyou will have nothing to fear.

Thinking of this, Lu Wu suddenly asked curiously:

"By the way, what is the ultimate law in your hand?"

"Sealing the sky!"
