Chapter 628: The World is Vast
"Disintegration Array..."
Although Bai Mo had concentrated most of his attention on separating the Moon and Mars, Teach's blatant little maneuvers could not escape his notice.
"You want to use my power to tear Mars apart?" The figure of light that was Bai Mo's avatar suddenly grew a face on its back, looking down at Edward Teach.
"Heh heh heh, this is the second to last step of my plan."
Teach openly admitted it. Now that things had come to this, further concealment was meaningless.
"Then he's your inside man?"
Bai Mo's original hands were busy supporting the Moon, making it difficult to move. To facilitate communication, he grew another arm from his back, pointing a finger at the giant Yin Huo.
...
He knew very well that it was simply impossible for this avatar's power alone to directly rend Mars apart. However, if he were to use a subtle and gradual method, spending thirty or fifty years permeating his power into every corner of Mars, peeling it away little by little over time, there would still be a glimmer of hope.
Of course, if there was a Spirit of Nature like Yin Huo acting as an insider, everything would be different. If he could cooperate with it, it would be possible to completely disintegrate Mars within three to five years.
However, three to five years was still meaningless for Bai Mo, a seventh-stage projection that could only exist for one day.
"Next, I will cooperate with you and tear open a rift in thirty-six specific locations on Mars." This time, it was Yin Huo who answered Bai Mo's question, as it concerned its own vested interests.
"You want to leave Mars?" Bai Mo didn't take more than a few seconds to understand the complete cause and effect of the matter through the distribution of the Disintegration Array.
As a Spirit of Nature born on Mars, while Yin Huo had easily gained absolute power at birth, it also faced an extremely vexing problem—it couldn't actively leave Mars; it could only coexist with the planet or perish with it.
Originally, this was no big deal. For it, having been born on Mars, Mars was its entire world, and it wouldn't have thought of leaving for millennia.
However, the Moon people came. By absorbing Liu Wu's memories, Yin Huo finally learned that Mars, its dwelling place, was but a small ripple in the vast sea of stars; the true universe was insanely vast.
Thus, the flame of "The world is so big, I want to see it" ignited in the heart of this Spirit of Nature.
Curiosity is an intelligent life form's instinct. After witnessing the Moon's prosperity, Mars, with its monotonous day-to-day life, seemed so dull.
More importantly, Yin Huo was a top-tier powerhouse. Even if it came to the Federation, it would be a true person above others, not an exploited underclass.
The motive to leave was there, but how could it be achieved?
Unless there was a power capable of briefly contending with a planet, severing the thirty-six nodes binding it simultaneously, only then would Yin Huo have a chance to play the golden cicada shedding its shell.
And just when it was feeling drowsy, Edward Teach conveniently supplied a pillow, and the two hit it off immediately.
...
"The world is so big, I want to see it," the hideous giant Yin Huo said in an artistic and refined tone.
From the day it awakened its self-awareness, it had been a six-stage existence standing at the peak, having never endured life's harsh lessons. For it, amusement was more important than anything.
Before, being a god on Mars was interesting, but now it found other planets even more so.
"..."
This answer caught Bai Mo somewhat off guard.
He had originally thought that the transmigrator Qiu Yi was already the biggest collaborator; he never expected that even Yin Huo, the nominal supreme leader of Mars, was also a proud collaborator...
...
"Don't worry, I won't let you suffer a loss." After completing a series of incantations, Teach spat out a specially made box from his stomach.
He was now afraid that Bai Mo would be displeased with this last-minute added task, so he quickly presented another grand gift.
"The coordinates to a new spatial layer. I believe you'll be satisfied."
Two hands of light suddenly grew from the void in front of Teach, accepting the box.
"I haven't explored the world on the other side, but I can confirm that it has matter and life."
"Method."
"As for the method of exploration... there isn't one. It's purely luck. The Spirit Art for confirming the situation on the other side, I've already placed it in the box."
"Very well."
The hands of light holding the box vanished from in front of Teach, reappearing the next moment on the surface of Bai Mo's projection, noiselessly merging into it.
Bai Mo knew without guessing that Teach definitely had other spatial layer coordinates, at the very least, he certainly wouldn't hand over the one he used to construct his True Spirit Barrier and undergo Reincarnation Tribulation.
"Can you withstand the pressure of the spatial channel? Do you need my help?" Seeing Teach being so sensible, Bai Mo also decided to reciprocate.
"Heh heh heh." Teach merely cackled, saying nothing.
Given his meticulous mind, how could he not have prepared for this? For a breakthrough concerning his life and future, he only trusted everything he proactively planned; he wouldn't accept anything given by others.
...
"Meteors?" Qiu Yi, who had broken free from Mars's ocean of psionic power, was astonished to discover that a meteor radiating an ominous gray-black light had crashed dozens of li outside his city.
Moreover, as he looked up at the sky, there was more than one such meteor. He could see over fifteen of them.
But strangely, these gray-black meteors didn't cause much of a tremor the moment they hit the ground. The truly violent tremors occurred ten minutes after their landing.
As he followed the source of the tremor, arriving about ten li from the nearest impact point, Qiu Yi sensed something was amiss.
The psionic power, which had always been as pliable as water, easily broken free with a slight effort, now became wild, rushing incessantly towards the epicenter.
It was as if a gigantic vortex existed there, attracting the invisible psionic power filling Mars from tens of li around.
When he was only a few hundred meters from the center of the vortex, Qiu Yi had to exert all his strength to fly into mid-air, just to evade the nearly frenzied currents of psionic power on the surface.
"The gray meteors drilled a hole through Mars's surface, and then, through some method, mobilized the special forces present in the surroundings, all pouring through that hole into Mars's crust, madly destroying Mars's geological structure..."
Through his Spirit Sight Art, he witnessed the terrifying sight hidden beneath the ground.
Mars's crust, primarily composed of ordinary rock, was like butter facing a flying knife head-on in front of the flood of psionic power, offering no resistance whatsoever.
However, Mars's crust was simply too immense in volume; the destroyed part was insignificant, akin to a mosquito bite.
