Chapter 1374 - 1119: Do You Know?

With the prototype battleship, the following tasks became much easier. The golden warships were assembled at the rate of almost one a day, for a total of six additional ships, yet Long Yi did not input his own fighter piloting skills into them. Instead, he leveraged Little Zi’s power to feed all the flying experience of Azure Sky Empire’s ace warship pilots into the autonomous piloting cores.

Over the next five days, within a planned star region, these seven warships were engaged in constant battle. Thanks to the Nightmare Knights’ learning core technology, these ships’ autopilot cores were also capable of learning, continuously optimizing combat techniques through battle.

Afterward, Long Yi requested the assistance of the Dragon Clan that had always followed Simu to train these warships. Although they were averse to participating in the war, if it was just about helping with the training, they were naturally more than willing to do so.

With the involvement of the Giant Dragons, the effects of the simulated battles quickly became more realistic.

At first, these Giant Dragons didn’t really take these oddly shaped warships seriously. They were from the Dragon Clan and not cursed, their prowess was definitely not to be underestimated. However, when the warships’ Light Cannons genuinely pierced through their casually erected shields, the Giant Dragons immediately realized that these things were crafted by Giants!

So, the Giant Dragons got serious.

And the price of the Giant Dragons getting serious was that, over the following few days, all of the first batch of prototype warships were destroyed by those unwilling to be outmatched by the dragons.

For these uncursed Giant Dragons, once they unleashed their full power, these warships naturally exploded instantly. The dragons involved in the battle expressed their apologies, but Long Yi didn’t mind; he told them to fight without hesitation. "As for warships, I have plenty!" he said.

Indeed, by this time, Whitestar in Isrile had fully commenced operations, with every part taking shape on the assembly line. Small parts were assembled by small Nightmare Knights, while large structures were put together by large Nightmare Knights. With Whitestar operating at full capacity, the manufacturing speed of these warships skyrocketed to nearly a thousand a day!

"But, this is still too slow."

"Hey, you’re being a bit biased, aren’t you?" Ai Lin said as she hugged Long Yi from behind, who appeared to be in some distress.

"Biased?" Long Yi, a bit confused, failed to grasp her meaning.

"Yes, biased! Look, you created the Star Devourers and gave them to Ruosha; then there was Black Star; given to Ruosha; then the golden warship, still given to Ruosha; and now, you are letting her help you build warships. You’ve given all the good things and credit to her. Could it be that deep down, you really are a lolicon?" Ai Lin asked with a laugh.

"How could that be!" Long Yi laughed too. "Your Giant Beasts are formidable, but they are intelligent beings after all. They’re not as strong as us, especially this time facing the Dragon Clan controlled by the Worms. First, it’s the Worms, second, the Dragon Clan. Either of these alone is extremely dangerous to them, and I simply don’t want them to make needless sacrifices."

"I know, but for these battle creatures, not letting them fight is actually worse than death. It’s only been three days, and this is already the sixth time they’ve expressed their intense desire to fight," Ai Lin said.

Having one more ally increased the odds of winning, Long Yi understood that, but if the odds weren’t clear, he would rather choose to be cautious.

"Since that’s the case, let me think about what can be done," Long Yi said.

Isrile looked at Long Yi, whose brows were still furrowed, and suddenly pinched his face, "Hey hey, can you stop with the gloomy face? You’re a Giant, a God, you’re Long Yi! Who have you ever been afraid of?"

Long Yi, whose face had been pinched out of shape by Isrile, suddenly smiled, "Yes, I’m afraid of no one!"

To get these Giant Beasts to join the war, there were two issues that had to be addressed. First was the issue of strength. If they were just any common cat or dog, Long Yi wouldn’t care at all. But this time, the enemy they faced were Giant Dragons, and ordinary Giant Beasts simply couldn’t match up to the Dragon Clan.

To deal with the Dragon Clan, if Golems could not be used, then help had to be sought from the Dragon Clan itself. And if there was no Dragon Clan, then Long Yi would have to find a way to create some Dragon Clan members himself.

By this time, Isrile’s Legion of Giant Beasts numbered a hundred thousand. Originally, her Legion of Giant Beasts was even larger. However, Isrile had sent back the less powerful Giant Beasts, and now these remaining beasts all possessed sufficient combat strength and experience. Moreover, in terms of their aura alone, they were no less imposing than the Dragon Clan.

In order to give the Giant Beasts the ability to contend with the Dragon Clan, Long Yi chose the simplified version of Dragon Blood Reincarnation.

The normal version of Dragon Blood Reincarnation required Giant’s strength as well as the assistance of the Dragon Clan itself. Long Yi, however, simplified the process, using bioengineering magic to streamline these aspects and endow these Giant Beasts with the capability to challenge the Dragon Clan. The first step was to imbue them with Dragon Power and, at the same time, ensure they weren’t cursed, so they could have the ability to cast spells. Most importantly, because they had Dragon Power, they could also resist the magic of the Dragon Clan.

Once the issue of strength was resolved, the next issue would be the Divine Worms. Once the Divine Worms found that their host’s strength was inferior to that of their opponents, they would immediately abandon their host and infest the opponent instead. This was the most disgusting aspect of fighting with them. If this issue wasn’t addressed, then no matter how well the Giant Beasts were armed, it would all be in vain.

Therefore, Long Yi had to find a way to deal with the nuisance of the Worms.

There were many ways to prevent infection by the Divine Worms. Xiaodie and her astonishing devouring ability were not afraid of infection by the Divine Worms; God Eaters could prevent the Divine Worms from infesting; and divine edicts could also stop the Divine Worms from infesting.

However, facing a hundred thousand Giant Beasts, these methods were easier said than implemented.

Long Yi looked at Xiaodie, at the greedy snake in his hand, at Long Er in front of him, continuously brainstorming in his mind, but he simply couldn’t come up with any suitable solution. Ai Lin and Whitestar came to this place, joined the discussion for a while, but left without any results; Isrile and Ruosha also came, discussed for a bit, and left without concluding. Little Zi stood behind Long Yi and offered several suggestions, which were also rejected because they were difficult to implement.

"Xiaodie, do you have any ideas?" Long Yi asked Xiaodie.

"No!" Xiaodie said cheerfully.

Long Yi was speechless. If you have no ideas, why are you so happy?

"So, Long Er, do you have a solution?" Long Yi really couldn’t find anyone else to discuss this with, so he asked Long Er by the way.

"Yes."

"Ah, I knew you wouldn’t have a... Huh? What? You have a solution?" Long Yi had never expected Long Er, who was the divine edict itself, to actually have a solution!

"Yes, I have a solution," Long Er continued.

Long Yi had never thought that Long Er would have a solution; of course, it was also because Long Er always maintained that mask-like image that Long Yi really had no way of telling.

"Why didn’t you say you had a solution earlier!" Although Long Yi was happy, he still yelled out.

"Because you didn’t ask me," Long Er answered directly.

As the divine edict, Long Er’s appearance didn’t elicit any reaction among the girls around Long Yi, partly because they were already familiar with the existence of the divine edict and partly because they had become accustomed to the constant stream of inexplicable events surrounding Long Yi. However, it was still unexpected for everyone when Long Er so assertively stated that he had a solution.

"What’s the solution? Tell me quickly," Long Yi asked excitedly.

"The Divine Worm parasitizes the consciousness within living creatures and can only inhabit the consciousness of living creatures. Its own life frequency is such, while most intelligent beings’ consciousness frequency is like this." As he spoke, Long Er displayed two magical models with his hands. Among those present, Ai Lin and Little Zi were the most proficient in magic research, and they immediately recognized that these two magical models represented the thought processes of life.

"What does this mean?" Long Yi asked.

"It means that if the Divine Worm attempts to parasitize the consciousness of a living being, it must adjust its own thought frequency to match the thought frequency of the life it will parasitize, which is a matter of an instant," Long Er explained.

As he spoke, the formula in Long Er’s hand that represented the Divine Worm changed shape instantaneously, becoming like the one in his other hand.

"But, there is still time involved," Long Yi said.

"Yes, it still requires time. Moreover, the fact that the Divine Worm must parasitize through the eyes can also be exploited," Long Er said.

"So, what’s your plan?" Long Yi asked.

"I think, gouging out those creatures’ eyeballs could..."

"Ahem, that’s definitely not an option," Long Yi immediately interrupted before Long Er could continue. He had thought that Long Er would focus on the process of the Divine Worm changing thought frequencies, but Long Er’s approach was more simple and violent.

"Then we must target its life frequency," Long Er said.

"So, how do we do that?" Long Yi continued to inquire.

"I do not know," Long Er answered quite decisively.

"Do you have any other ideas then?" Long Yi pressed further.

"No," Long Er said.

"At least, we have a new direction now," Long Yi stated.

Thought frequency was something Long Yi had not researched before. In this plane, as they all originated from the same god’s creation, the thought frequencies of most living beings were the same. Little Zi conducted a series of investigations based on the magical model Long Er had demonstrated, and the results confirmed this.

But the Divine Worm, not being a lifeform of this universe, had a different thought frequency from the life here.

So, how did they acquire the thought frequency of life? And how did they adjust it?

Experiment!

Start experimenting immediately!

However, the biggest problem arose.

The Divine Worms, the very things Long Yi was determined to eradicate, were incredibly hard to come by!
