Ultragene Warlord Chapter 1201: Opening the Farm

Chapter 1201: Opening the Farm

Hong Tianqi was stunned. A silence filled the transceiver. “What did you say?”

“The third realm’s about to collapse.”

Hong Tianqi frowned. “Is this an elaborate joke? It’s far too gauche.”

“I’m not joking with you.”

Hong Tianqi sounded visibly displeased. “Zhang Lie, this is ridiculous. I ran over in the middle of an extremely important meeting, and this is no joking matter.”

“If you don’t believe me, then so be it.”

Hong Tianqi thundered, “Zhang Lie, if this is how bad your attitude has gotten, I’ll come beat some sense into you.”

Zhang Lie sighed. “The king of chaos ascended from the third realm with his coterie, the halls of chaos. In doing so, he caused a massive explosion in the deepest layers of space there, blasting a hole in the high-dimensional spaces of the third realm. The fragmented will of the third realm has been unable to repair the damage quickly enough, and the damage has instead been spreading. If this were to continue unchecked, the deepest layers of space of the third realm would be destroyed, leading to a catastrophic domino effect that will swallow up the entirety of the third realm.”

Hong Tianqi hesitated again. “You’re not joking?”

“If you don’t believe me, then so be it. I won’t be blamed if a large group of the third-realm Milky Way hunters died in a mass extinction event.”

Hong Tianqi hurriedly replied, “No, it’s not that I don’t believe you—what you’re saying is simply so ridiculous that I’m having a difficult time processing it.”

Zhang Lie continued, “If you don’t believe me, feel free to send someone to the third realm. I’ll have Yang Ze bring that person to the deepest layers of space. One look will be sufficient to verify my claims.”

When Hong Tianqi finally realized that Zhang Lie was earnest, he couldn’t help but turn serious. “This is a travesty. Tell me more—I need to know everything about the king of chaos and his ascension.”

Zhang Lie proposed, “There’s no time. While we’re chatting, the third realm will be nearing collapse. Don’t forget about the huge time dilation between the third realm and the Milky Way.”

“That’s exactly why I need to know everything,” Hong Tianqi countered. “Otherwise, I won’t be able to come up with an appropriate plan for response.”

“Very well. I’ll be concise, then.”

As Zhang Lie explained everything, Hong Tianqi’s face turned dark. This damned king of chaos… I’d like to have a subordinate punch him in the face.”

The king of chaos was invincible within the third realm, but it was far less likely that that invincibility held up in the fourth realm.

Zhang Lie replied, “While I share your sentiment, you’d better not do that. The king of chaos is an exceptional individual, and he might even be able to beat your subordinates in the fourth realm.”

Hong Tianqi asked, “You must have thought up a plan to resolve this problem, haven’t you?”

Zhang Lie nodded. “I intend to unify the three thousand worlds. The reason the high-dimensional spaces are continuing to collapse is because the will of the third realm is fragmented. If we restore the will of the world, it will be able to fix the damage.”

Hong Tianqi frowned. “This will be a massive undertaking.”

Zhang Lie replied, “Even so, I don’t have a better solution. Do you?”

Hong Tianqi thought for a moment, but then shook his head. “No. Your solution might work, and it’s better than anything I’ve got.”

What remained would be a fight against time—whether the high-dimensional spaces collapsed entirely first, or whether Zhang Lie could unify the three thousand worlds first.

Hong Tianqi continued, “The Milky Way will cooperate to the best of its ability. I’ll start by recalling all third-realm hunters who have yet to max their superior gene fragments, then summon all other third-realm hunters to aid in your conquest.”

Zhang Lie proposed, “I have a better idea. I’ve built a farm of genetic lifeforms on the draconian world in the third realm. I’ll make a portion of those lifeforms available to increase the overall strength of genetic hunters and bulk up the available forces.”

Genetic hunters were particularly strong because of how quickly they could grow in strength. Although combat experience was important, the maximum rate at which hunters could grow was all but unparalleled.

Genetic hunters would be able to grow strong just by consuming the flesh of genetic lifeforms. There was a large supply of such lifeforms within Zhang Lie’s farm, which were meant to cultivate monarch-grade lifeforms, but there was no time to be selfish now. If the third realm were to fall, the entire farm would be destroyed.

It was time to make use of the farm’s potential.n0ve(l)bi(n.)co/m

Zhang Lie continued, “All genetic hunters who make their way to the draconian world will be able to max all gene fragments peak-grade and below.”

Hong Tianqi sucked in a deep breath. Even he, the highest authority of the Milky Way, didn’t have the means to make such a promise—and neither did the Milky Way at large.

“You built a huge farm of genetic lifeforms in the third realm?”

“More or less.”

“Can it support the expenditure of all the hunters in the third realm?”

Zhang Lie’s farm was filled to the brim with superior-grade lifeforms, and even peak-grade ones were as common as cats and dogs. However, it would still have been a stretch to claim that this was sufficient for all third-realm hunters if not for the hundred superior worlds’ worth of genetic energy that Zhang Hanxiang had brought back from the world of primordial chaos.

World’s energy was undoubtedly the fastest means to induce growth and evolution. If the draconian sage could manipulate the world to accelerate the rate at which time passed around the farm, a whole-new batch of peak-grade lifeforms could be produced within moments.

However, disaster- and monarch-grade lifeforms would remain a pipe dream for the masses. Disaster-grade lifeforms required combat experience to activate their potential for evolution, and their mass production would be impossible. Neither would this approach work for monarch-grade lifeforms.

Of course, Zhang Lie didn’t plan to volunteer this information.

“I cultivated a batch of superior- and peak-grade genetic lifeforms not too long ago, but it’s a stretch to claim that it can support all the genetic hunters of the third realm. It’ll be first-come, first-serve.”

Hong Tianqi nodded. “Very good. Drag all the Milky Way hunters into the draconian world, and then make them join in your fight.”

Zhang Lie agreed. “That’s exactly right.”

Hong Tianqi continued, “Are you sure that’s what you really want, however? If the hunters are too weak, they’ll be useless in a fight, and they might even drag down their teams with them.”

Zhang Lie shook his head. “No, that won’t happen. The process of reaching the draconian world itself will serve as a filter for the weakest hunters, leaving the ones strong enough to contribute behind.
