The dark space was a very magical place. It was parallel to the universe, but it did not belong to the universe. Sometimes, it would take several years to travel from one point in the universe to another, but in the dark space, it would only take a turn.
It was all thanks to Jin Xiaoxiao that Xia Fei had the ability to freely enter and exit the dark dimension. Seven hours after the beast wave began, Xia Fei and the others appeared in another spatial gate.
Standing in front of the porthole and looking in the direction of the Beast Tide outbreak, the distance was already astronomical, and nothing could be seen.
"What should we do next? Do you want to inform the entire universe about the Beast Tide outbreak, or do you want to return to the base directly? "Xia Guanghai asked.
Xia Fei said, "Notify the Aurora Race. Count the Ye clan in as well. Ignore the others."
Xia Guanghai hurriedly went to report the situation to the two families, while Xia Fei told Shen Gufeng and Lin Zhuoying about it. After all, they were in a temporary alliance, and Xia Fei had no intention of hiding this from them. He had no interest in those who were unrelated to him.
Whoosh ~
The Silver Soul passed through the spatial door and returned to the base. Xia Fei found a secluded place and used the Emerald Dawn Pearl to contact Bai Lan.
The Jade Dawn Pearl was a communication device created by Annihilation. It could be used even when moving at warp speed. Moreover, because the Space Array was all about Annihilation, the communication effect was even better.
"I already know. The Sequoia Nebula is currently in chaos. More than a dozen planets inhabited by intelligent lifeforms have been flooded by the Beast Tide. You were right to destroy the stargate. I've already ordered my men to destroy the other two spatial gates, but this is only temporary. If the Dark Clerics wanted to turn Alpha upside down. There's always a way, and there's even a chance that they'll set up their own spatial transfer array. "Bai Lan rubbed her head after hearing what Xia Fei had to say.
It was obvious that Bai Lan was having a hard time, holding the ugly pom-pom hat crookedly. It was obvious that he was not in the mood to pay attention to such things.
"How was the Riptide Universe?" Xia Fei asked.
"It's very troublesome. The Gate of the Universe is interconnected. Not only did the Beast Tide enter Alpha, but it also occupied Torrent. It's said that the people there are trying their best to deal with it, but the Beast Tide is too fierce. They can only close the spatial array and defend passively, "Bai Lan said.
"Shutting down the spatial array isn't a bad choice. At the very least, we can stop the beast horde from spreading," Xia Fei said.
Bai Lan laughed bitterly and said, "Stop it for now. The reproduction ability of beasts is many times stronger than that of intelligent life. If no one steps forward to clean up the situation, it's only a matter of time before the beasts completely take over Five Stars. "
"Just where did all these exotic beasts come from?" Xia Fei asked.
"I'm not sure, but the Dark Soul Masters must have planned this from the start," Bai Lan said.
"I have a feeling that these exotic beasts are different from the ones we usually see. Moreover, I just asked Furball, and that fellow can't speak, but he kept shaking his head. It seems like he doesn't like the exotic beasts that came out of the Cosmic Gate." Xia Fei observed Bai Lan's expression as he spoke.
He was startled. Bai Lan looked at Xia Fei and said, "I won't hide it from you. There's far too little I can do, and I know even less, so I can't help you much. You'll have to rely on yourself for many things."
Everything had been made very clear, and Bai Lan herself was already under a lot of pressure. As the liaison between Annihilation and Alpha, Bai Lan was facing a lot of pressure at the moment. Annihilation's inaction clashed with Alpha's urgent need to quell the chaos, and Bai Lan was stuck in the middle. It was hard to be human.
"I understand. You take care too." Xia Fei softly said. He had never been in the habit of relying on others for everything. He was just asking Bai Lan this time, and since he did not know either … Xia Fei had no intention of continuing to pester him.
Turning off the screen, Xia Fei fell into deep thought. According to Xia Fei's calculations, the six paths of reincarnation would definitely lead to the Law Realm. The glassy, dark Cosmic Gate was fully open, so there were only four of them. Even if the Cosmic Gate to Annihilation was included, there was still one less gate. Who knew where the sixth gate would open? And where would it connect to?
It was clear that Annihilation had completely abandoned the lower five stars, but if Xia Fei did not want to go through, the Dark Soul Masters would definitely open a gate to Annihilation once they destroyed the lower five stars, and they would not be able to escape. Yet, in such a situation, why were the experts from Annihilation not doing anything?! Could it be that the problem they were facing was even more troublesome than the beast tide of the lower five stars?
Though the three spatial gates of the Sequoia Nebula had been destroyed, there were still hundreds of thousands of spatial gates open in this universe. If they did not establish an effective mechanism, the Dark Soul Masters would surely use the spatial transfer array to allow the beast tide to spread quickly, and the Alpha Universe would be the first of all the universes to be drowned!
The one controlling the spatial array of the Alpha Universe was Annihilation. Unless Annihilation decided to destroy all the spatial gates or restrict them, the people below would not be able to do anything.
Lightly swiping his finger across his spatial ring, Xia Fei took out a chessboard, placed the chess pieces inside, and carefully simulated it.
This chessboard was given to Xia Fei by Fuchen, and it was called Formation Chess. It was not used to play chess but to deduce Soul Arrays.
There were 9,999 horizontal lines and 9,999 vertical lines, and there were close to ten million formation cores!
Soul Arrays were very ingenious arrays, and they could not be formed by simply placing the chess pieces. Every formation core had to interact with each other, forming a tightly connected web that allowed energy to circulate within.
Just the circulation of energy was not the end. Through the changes in the formation cores, the function of the Soul Array would also change. Whether a Soul Array had the power and was able to unleash its full potential all depended on how the formation cores were arranged.
According to Fuchen, this simulation chessboard with ten million formation cores was just a beginner version of Soul Arrays. There were a hundred billion variations, and the advanced version would have a hundred trillion variations!
Deducing Soul Arrays was something that required a lot of patience and focus. Xia Fei had not tried too much in the past, for while he did not lack patience and focus, he lacked time. There were too many inexplicable troubles surrounding him, which had already become a part of his life. Whenever others mentioned Xia Fei, they would laugh and call him a troublemaker.
The Law Realm and its outpost were in a very bad situation. Xia Fei was certain that the Dark Soul Masters and those unfamiliar Annihilation rank experts would find him sooner or later after activating the Torrent Stargate. When that time came, the Cosmic Gate would be filled with the beast tide, and the Law Realm, the Panhuman Alliance, Earth, Avril, and all these things that Xia Fei treasured would all be in danger.
The most effective method was for Xia Fei to set up a Soul Array!
Soul Array against Soul Array!
Before the Dark Soul Masters arrived, Xia Fei would strike first to gain the upper hand and set up an unsolvable killing array!
Otherwise, it would be very difficult for him to fight against these Annihilation rank experts with the strength he had on hand! Moreover, they would not come alone. They would bring along billions of berserk beasts and come like a storm!
Furrowing his brows, Xia Fei kept placing his chess pieces on this massive chessboard. With a hundred billion possibilities, it was extremely difficult to deduce a perfect defensive array!
…
* Clatter ~ *
Xia Fei swept all the chess pieces on the ground, his expression grim.
Creating a Soul Array was far more difficult than the average person could imagine. Faced with hundreds of millions of possibilities, even Xia Fei was at a loss.
"Can you choose one of the existing Soul Arrays on the Omniscient Gate and set it up around the Cosmic Gate?" Radix knew Xia Fei's difficulty and asked with concern.
Xia Fei shook his head. "Impossible. The Cosmic Gate is about eight times the size of Earth. Even the largest Spirit Mountain Formation only has two hundred and fifty-six formation cores. It's completely insufficient to defend against the entire Cosmic Gate."
Fuchen scratched his head and awkwardly said, "Those Dark Soul Arrays used a 500-eyed Soul Array to open the Riptide Gate. Can't we also use a 500-eyed Soul Array?"
Xia Fei laughed bitterly. "Don't forget that aside from the 500-eyed Soul Array, they also used a drake as a sacrifice, and the formation cores are all annihilation rank soul armaments! And five million standard units of energy! Where am I supposed to find such monstrous conditions?
"Besides, defense and offense are different. Offense requires a sword and a point, while defense requires a shield that covers everything!"
Yuan was speechless. Wasn't that right? Although the Dark Spiritualists had fought their way to the Torrent Gate, they had also spent a lot of money. Not to mention the other things, just a complete wyvern's corpse alone was impossible to obtain. As for using five hundred annihilation rank soul armaments as the eye of the formation, that was even more extravagant!
Putting away the formation chess, Xia Fei softly said, "We're almost at the base. Let's head out. Avrils should be waiting for me."
Radix nodded, hating himself for learning too little and not being able to share Xia Fei's burden.
That was when Xia Fei's annihilation communicator, the Emerald Dawn Pearl, unexpectedly rang. Xia Fei casually turned it on and saw a stranger on the screen. The person's back was facing him, and he could see the back of his head.
"Who are you?" Xia Fei curiously asked.
"Someone to help you," the person softly replied.
"Help me? Why are you helping me? " Xia Fei asked in return. He believed in the theory of cost, and he never believed that there would be a free lunch in the world. Xia Fei had always been cautious when it came to the kindness of others.
"It's simple. I'm helping you because you've helped me before."
"I've helped you before?" Xia Fei was even more confused. He laughed. "I've never even seen you before, let alone helped you. Are you still asleep?"
"You don't have to have seen me before to be of help. I don't have much time, so I'm not going to waste my breath with you. In about twenty minutes, the spatial array of the Alpha Universe will be under control. If you believe me, just wait and see," the person said.
Xia Fei was stunned. If the spatial array was under control, it would be a great help to Xia Fei. At the very least, the exotic beast horde would not spread to him for some time, giving him enough time to prepare.
Though he did not turn around, the person seemed to sense Xia Fei's surprise and said, "According to what I know, the Dark Soul Masters will be making a move on Dark Surge next, followed by the Desolate Glacier that you're concerned about, and finally Lazuli. I can't predict the time, but it depends on the progress of the Dark Soul Masters' preparations. You and your people will be safe for at least two months."
After a pause, the person added, "Don't count on Annihilation. They're facing an even bigger crisis than the lower five stars. If they don't handle it well, they might not even be able to protect themselves."
Xia Fei's mouth was wide open, not knowing what to say. This person had just descended from the sky, bringing Xia Fei one shocking news after another.
"Right, Xia Fei, do you have a son?" the person suddenly asked out of nowhere after he finished talking about business.
Xia Fei shook his head.
The person laughed.
"Very good!"
