Luo Kai walked up to the broken statue of the evil god and observed it carefully.
Macroscopic objects were complex and ever-changing, but microscopic objects were consistent from beginning to end. Now, he was no longer affected by external material objects and could directly observe its essence.
This statue was carved out of ordinary metal, and its surface was covered with a thick layer of blood scabs. It didn't seem like much, but in fact, the statue was entangled with dense resentment. It was the resentment of countless dead people, filled with hatred, anger, fear, cowardice, and a myriad of other emotions. It could be said that countless souls were imprisoned within.
The Earth was vast and boundless, and the evil cult had to communicate with the evil god of the unknown realm through some kind of medium. Its nature was like erecting a coordinate, and this statue was the coordinate.
It required a huge amount of energy to send out the coordinates, and these imprisoned souls were the source of energy.
Luo Kai waved his hand and dispersed these consciousnesses that were filled with resentment. Apparently, this level of existence didn't just understand the material world, but also the mysteries of the virtual world.
The body was easy to die, but the soul was eternal. They weren't just trying to avoid the death of the body. If reincarnation really existed, they were also trying to avoid it.
Luo Kai walked towards the group of children in the corner. After taking a few steps, his expression suddenly changed. He felt that the solidified Blood Night was slightly boiling. The Saint Blood Worms hidden in the depths of his cells were giving him a familiar frequency. It was a frequency that indicated that they were from the same root when their own kind appeared around them.
This time, in the direct confrontation with the nuclear explosion, his flesh was almost completely melted, and the sacred blood worms deeply entangled in his flesh were also heavily injured. The frequency they emitted was extremely weak, far less sensitive than before.
The black-robed old man's fragmented body on the ground emitted a faint black fog. This black fog was too small and couldn't refract light, so it couldn't be seen with human vision. However, it couldn't escape Luo Kai's Eye of the Soul.
The black fog drifted in the void as if it was thinking, and finally drifted toward the group of children in the corner.
Luo Kai reached out and grabbed the black fog in his hand.
As soon as the black fog touched his hand, it immediately tried to seep into his palm. It was too small, almost like a virus. To be more precise, it could be a virus that could directly seep into the body through the pores of the skin.
Ordinary people would not be able to avoid it, but Luo Kai's body was as solid as metal, and the black fog could not penetrate it at all. They seemed to have high intelligence, and after discovering that their host could not be parasitized, they immediately fled in all directions.
Luo Kai increased the output of his spiritual power and firmly bound the black fog in his palm. He pondered to himself. Without a doubt, this black fog was the Saint Blood Worm, a strange creature that was beyond his understanding.
Logically speaking, as long as it was a living creature, it would not be able to escape the cycle of life and death. However, this kind of thing would not. If its host died, it could be replaced at any time. Its nature was between organic and inorganic matter. If it was not alive, how could it die?
Without a doubt, this old man was one of the twelve inheritors of the Sacred Bloodworm. After he was killed, the Sacred Bloodworm began to look for a new host.
Back then, the cult saint Ning Huizhi had said that there were twelve inheritors of the Sacred Bloodworm. Once all twelve inheritors became saints, they would be able to perform the art of slaying gods!
While he was deep in thought, the frequency of the Sacred Bloodworm in his body became more and more agitated, as if it wanted to come into contact with the black fog outside.
Luo Kai hesitated for a moment, then forced out a drop of sparkling blood from his finger.
The black fog immediately covered it and seeped into it. The two beings of the same origin intertwined together, exchanging information in an unknown way.
The two Sacred Bloodworms belonged to different individuals, and they also needed to exchange information to gain the other's growth experience. It was like a mutated virus that would mutate once it came into contact with an unmutated virus.
To be precise, they were a type of virus, a virus that could be deeply rooted in the body and soul.
The birth and death of life were inextricably linked to viruses. When a virus was in the outside world, it was a mass of organic matter. Only when it entered the body of a living being would it show signs of life. In other words, viruses were an important product of the transition of inorganic matter to organic life, but at the same time, they were the ultimate culprit of the death of all life. It was rumored that viruses were left behind by God as a key to controlling the survival and destruction of species.
When humans could control this key, they could be considered to have truly mastered the code of life.
Before the Catastrophe, the technological means of human beings were already invincible. The large-scale particle collider could even crush the tiniest particles. The mysteries of the microscopic world were also revealed to human beings. However, they could not create a cell, the most basic cell of life.
In this era, Su Hsiao-mei could reconstruct the composition of matter through the dialysis of light energy. This method was close to the legendary creation out of thin air, but it was only limited to matter. Complex life was still a mystery to humans.
If there was time, Luo Kai would like to use Inner Vision again to observe the effect of the Sacred Bloodworm on his genes. Unfortunately, now was not the time. He turned his head and looked at the group of children in the corner. He walked over and cut open the cage with his palm, then carried the children out one by one.
A few of the children woke up and stared at him blankly.
Luo Kai smiled gently and said, "Don't worry. You're safe now!"
As soon as his voice fell, the children immediately burst into tears.
Luo Kai waved his hand and an invisible force field appeared out of thin air, supporting them as they floated toward the entrance. After leaving the underground entrance, they rose again and flew into the vast starry sky.
The scenery under their feet flashed by. This time, the children immediately forgot to cry and stared blankly at the incredible scene in front of them.
Luo Kai put them down in a square in the center of the city and then left. He casually strolled through the streets of the city.
This city was built in a bay, similar to the cities in Higashimogami Province. Or it could be said that the structure of the cities in this era was the same. They were all built with reinforced concrete and boulders. There were no decorations on the outside, and many of them were stained with dried blood, looking rough and cold.
The sky gradually brightened, and a red sun rose above the harbor. He felt that his palm was a little itchy, so he stopped. The black mist attached to his fingertip was restless under the sunlight. It seemed that like other microbes, sunlight was their life and death enemy. Although it could not kill them directly, it would make them inert and fall into a state similar to hibernation.
Luo Kai thought for a moment and then cut his palm with his finger. With his current strength, it wouldn't be easy to cause harm to his body. He tried to condense sunlight to create a concentrated laser, but it took him a long time to create a small opening and allow the black mist to enter his body.
At present, it seemed that the Sacred Bloodworm only had benefits and no disadvantages.
It could greatly increase his control over dark energy. Once in the night, his sensitivity would be greatly enhanced, and his senses would be infinitely expanded. This was under the premise that he rarely studied dark energy. The future potential of this energy was definitely not inferior to other energies.
The remaining bloodthirsty instincts were already negligible to him.
