"Survival... Are there dangers?"
Lin Qing didn’t rush out; he just carefully sensed the situation outside the cabin.
He suddenly realized that this wooden building wasn’t a wooden house at all, but rather a...
Lin Qing walked to the cabin door, grabbed the handle, and gently applied force to slowly push it open.
Through the crack in the door, you could see the wet deck, and farther off was a mist so dense it wouldn’t dissolve. Under the thick fog, not even the edges of the deck could be clearly seen, and this ship seemed to be resting on a tranquil water surface.
It looked ship wasn’t small; the cabin he was in was just an upper-level room.
However, as Lin Qing extended his sensing, he discovered a bizarre aura deep in the lower cabin.
By listening carefully, you could faintly hear some movement coming, as if... chopping bones?
Lin Qing slowly and cautiously shut the cabin door again and turned his gaze to the screen on the wall, "His Majesty Guang Wang said there’s great benefit for me here; could it be for bloodline evolution? Or perhaps something else?"
From these hints, it could be deduced that the Survivor was probably an original inhabitant of the King Realm, someone who couldn’t afford the cost of life extension, someone seeking opportunity, a heavy criminal...
Coupled with the voice he heard earlier in the Dark Space, perhaps this place was an experiment field?
"Anyway, survival comes first."
Lin Qing took a deep breath and calmed his mentality, "At worst, I’ll die, but His Majesty Guang Wang will resurrect me anyway; I’ll just lose the chance to become a disciple of His Majesty Guang Wang..."
Of course, even as he consoled himself this way, he knew in his heart that such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, if lost, may never come again.
No matter how confident he was, no matter how much he believed in Entropy, he wasn’t arrogant enough to believe he could achieve the Ultimate.
Therefore, he must seize this opportunity with all his might.
"The current situation..."
Lin Qing sensed the various free energies and spatial energies in the Void, attempting to absorb them, but even with near-True Transformation-level willpower forcing extraction, it was useless.
In other words, he couldn’t directly absorb energy to replenish himself.
Moreover, his body was utterly empty, devoid of any energy, sustained purely by physical strength.
"This means I can only supplement my strength through the most original form of eating and drinking."
Lin Qing carefully sensed his current body, "A purely physical body, without any special energy, unable to perform Divine Skills, nor use any secret techniques..."
"Wait... What if the secret technique doesn’t rely on energy?"
Suddenly, a thought struck him, "Miracle Fate and Illusion World Extinction don’t require energy... The Lifebound Cosmic Treasure, although it cannot exert any power, is enough just to congeal its shape and protect the soul..."
After trying for a while, Lin Qing confirmed the cards he could currently use.
Next, he looked at the screen on the wall, studying how he should upgrade this so-called shelter.
[Shelter Name: Abyss]
[Shelter Description: A living Demon Ship, emitting a scent most beloved by demons; it will not only attract demons but will also invite demons aboard to work. Only blood and souls can fuel its navigation; if the ship owner isn’t strong enough in spiritual will, they might be enslaved by it]
[Upgrade Requirements: Low Level Demon Remains ×10, Souls ×10, Level One Shelter Core ×1]
[Hint: It must be said, owning a special shelter makes you one in a million, but your shelter seems unable to protect you and might bring danger. Upgrading the shelter might not be a good thing either]
"Upgrades require demon remains? Other people’s shelter cores?"
Lin Qing speculated, "Attract demons? Invite demons aboard to work?"
He suddenly guessed what that peculiar aura in the lower cabin might be.
Currently, the most pressing need was to determine the strength of these so-called demons.
Lin Qing pondered for a moment, then extended his hand, and from the depths of his soul, the Lifebound Cosmic Treasure gave a slight tremor, emanating a faintly perceptible aura, which immediately surged outward, transforming into a long dark-golden blade.
Though he currently lacked the Space Divine Body, had no power at all, and couldn’t stir the Lifebound Cosmic Treasure’s might, simply condensing a pure and solid projection with a wisp of its aura was very simple.
Gripping the long blade with one hand, Lin Qing pushed open the cabin door with the other, then turned to the corridor and took a deep breath before shouting toward the cabin below:
His voice, charged with full strength, resonated within the cabin.
Soon, he heard the bone-chopping sounds from the lower cabin cease, followed by a brief silence, and then a series of heavy footsteps approached from the stairway below.
After the squeaking of the old wooden door, a wave of the scent of blood began to pervade.
A line of crimson Order change hints appeared before his eyes, and Lin Qing squinted slightly, quickly retreating into the cabin, closing the door tightly.
Let’s see if this so-called shelter has any effect.
Soon, the bloody scent intensified significantly, seemingly just beyond the door, mingled with the odor of sulfur as heavy breathing emerged.
A series of heavy, impolite knocks sounded, causing the wooden cabin door to shake.
Under such heavy strength, the fragile wooden door seemed on the verge of collapsing.
Lin Qing carefully began to sense, at this point, he didn’t have Telekinesis, but perhaps it was because of his Will Transformation, or maybe because the Lifebound Cosmic Treasure had preserved a trace of his soul essence, that his sensing power remained exceptionally strong.
