Chapter 517: The Tendency to Get Out of Control
When Chen Luo thought of this, his eyes suddenly froze because he suddenly discovered that his connection with the Lighthouse Centipede had been weakened.
This was a very strange feeling. When it started to split, Chen Luo didn't feel anything unusual.
But after his mental power increased again, he could already feel that his control over the lighthouse centipede was weakening again.
Chen Luo thought quickly in his mind, and he was suddenly shocked. Could this lighthouse centipede be intentional?
After all, this thing is at level five and already possesses a certain amount of wisdom.
In the Western Fantasy World, Chen Luo had the power of the gods and had no ability to resist, but it was different in the time and space of Earth.
When the Lighthouse Centipede came to this world, it felt that its control was greatly weakened. At that time, it probably wanted to completely get rid of Chen Luo's control.
Maybe when he was on the spaceship before, this thing wanted to deal with him, but he just happened to see the Zerg appear, and he immediately got so excited that he forgot about everything, and wanted to eat those Zerg first.
After devouring a large number of Zerg, the Lighthouse Centipede split into two clones.
These two clones are not controlled by Chen Luo. Even if Chen Luo destroys its consciousness, the other two can still survive.
As it devoured more bugs and split into more lighthouse centipedes, Chen Luo basically lost the ability to control it.
"There is no fuel-efficient lamp."
Chen Luo sighed, but didn't find it too troublesome.
Even if the lighthouse centipede escapes from its own control, it doesn't matter. First of all, it and the mother nest are natural enemies, and its goal will not change until the insect race is extinct.
Secondly, the lighthouse centipede is different from the mother nest. It can only advance by devouring powerful creatures, and the flesh and blood on the earth has no effect on it.
However, it is still necessary to strengthen the control of this fifth-level lighthouse centipede. After all, all centipedes are under its orders.
The way to strengthen control is also very simple, just like looking for the Fire of the Void, to enhance your mental power.
Chen Luo thought for a while, this practice will take a long time, and it is estimated that he will not be able to take care of the two main worlds for some time.
It has been more than ten years since he last left the Western Fantasy World. Although nothing major happened, he probably won't be able to worry about that for a while, so he should slow down a little first.
Chen Luo thought for a while and adjusted the time flow rate ratio between the Western Fantasy World and the Earth to 1 day to 1 month, which is neither too short nor too long, at least it cannot stagnate development there.
Immediately afterwards, he observed the situation in the Xianxia world.
More than a thousand years have passed in the world of Xianxia, but those apes have not yet evolved into humans. Instead, the thirty-six gods have occupied the mountains one by one and divided their respective territories on the Kyushu continent.
Some fought every day, some devoted themselves to practicing and mastering the magic talismans, some began to explore the entire Kyushu Continent, and some tried to complete the mission given to them by Chen Luo and create their own race.
Each god is busy with different things, but no one is idle.
Chen Luo took a quick glance and knew that there would be no big changes for the time being. He immediately adjusted the time here to make one day to ten years, and then returned to reality.
Chen Luo did not try to use his mental power to sense the location of the Void Fire. He knew that his current mental power was definitely not enough. According to his estimation, it would need to be at least doubled to make it possible.
"Star spirits, keep following them and keep a certain distance. I want to continue practicing. If you don't encounter danger, don't wake me up."
"Okay, Your Excellency."
Chen Luo immediately sat down cross-legged and began to immerse himself in cultivating the soul talisman.
Cultivation is timeless. When Chen Luo woke up, it was already a full month later.
Chen Luo slowly floated up and felt that his mental strength had increased by nearly 30% compared to a month ago.
If he continues at this rate, he will be able to double his current mental power in two months at most.
Chen Luo walked to the window and saw that the universe had turned into a team of more than a hundred lighthouse centipedes. He couldn't help but froze for a moment.
The lighthouse centipede is still at the fifth level, but it has two more clones, and the other descendants are basically at the third level.
"They encountered the Zerg again?"
"Yes, during the month you have been practicing, they have found two reconnaissance and combat corps of the demon species. After devouring them, the group has expanded three times."
When the star spirit said this, his voice was a little excited and he said, "Sir, is this the natural enemy of the brood recorded in the dwarf history books?"
Chen Luo nodded, but was not as excited as the star spirit, because even though his mental power had increased at this time, he only felt that his control over the lighthouse centipede had increased slightly, and he had no influence on its clone at all.
If the Lighthouse Centipede wants to resist his orders, even if Chen Luo destroys it, it will be of no use.
"It seems that it can really track the breath of the Zerg... Is this the legendary predator's instinct to find the breath of prey?"
But this is better. Once the lighthouse centipedes have devoured enough Zerg, then let them deal with the mother nest, which will give them greater confidence.
"Take back those reconnaissance spacecraft and let them come here. In addition, let Starry Sky build some large transport spacecraft to load these lighthouse centipedes."
Chen Luo took back his thoughts and immediately gave instructions to the Xingling.
"Your Excellency, aren't you going to search for the brood nest?"
The star spirit asked with some doubts in his voice.
"No need, I have a way to find it. Your search efficiency is very low and it won't be of any use."
"Then it's better to bring the Starry Sky over. It can carry more than the transport ship."
"No, you have to stay on Earth to prevent the brood from suddenly attacking."
Chen Luo flatly rejected Xing Ling's proposal.
The Brood has the ability to open space channels. If it suddenly runs to the Earth, without the Star Spirits there to monitor it, it is impossible for it to know what is happening on the Earth.
The Starry Sky not only has a powerful firepower system, but it is also one of his teleportation points. Once an abnormality is discovered, he can return immediately.
"Okay, Your Excellency. There are already 104 large transport ships on the Starry Sky. There is no need to build them anymore. I will launch them now."
Over the next two months, the Lighthouse Centipede continued to search for Zerg in nearby galaxies. The group began to grow little by little, and soon reached as many as three hundred.
But what makes Chen Luo strange is that the lighthouse centipede he controls has always been at the peak of the fifth level. Even though it has devoured enough fourth-level Zerg, it still has not advanced to the next level.
Even though several of its clones have grown to the peak of the fifth level, it still has not advanced.
Every time it is about to break through, it splits on its own.
