From Abyssal Invasion to Bursting Stars with a Single Sword

After reading Lin Zeyu's "Void Soul Stealing Technique," the three of Lu Heng all wore strange expressions.

If you say it's useless, that's not true.

This method indeed resolves the issue of the Void Eye being immovable, but the implementation is somewhat... crude.

Moreover, there is no forced contract between Lin Zeyu and this Void Soul Stealing.

This is different from Clyde Saville's enslavement of the Void Soul Stealing; Clyde Saville has the Spirit Communicator class, granting him absolute control power over the Void Soul Stealing.

Even if the Void Soul Stealing wants to resist, it can't.

Lin Zeyu's relationship with the Void Soul Stealing is purely one of rearing; if the Void Soul Stealing wants to rebel, Lin Zeyu won't be able to do anything about it.

However, there is one reassuring point.

The Void Soul Stealing is indeed very attached to Shadow Crystal Cores; as long as you give it enough, it can be made to obey.

Of course, if this Void Soul Stealing were dispatched and encountered another Spirit Communicator, it would be captured by the Spirit Communicator.

The result would be predictable; the Void Soul Stealing would be forcibly enslaved by the Spirit Communicator.

Lu Heng explained this rearing relationship to Lin Zeyu, advising him not to overly rely on the Void Soul Stealing.

Lin Zeyu agreed casually: "I understand, don't worry, I'll only use this technique at critical moments."

...

Next, Lu Heng asked the most concerning question: "Have you found other Summoners?"

Su Muyu shook her head and answered: "No, the recruitment message sent by the Dragon Power has been public for many days, but there's been no response."

Lu Heng pondered to himself: Could it really be multi-species recruitment?

Xie Shi'en changed the topic, inquiring about the situation in the Elf World: "What's going on over there now?"

"Since Su Muyu and I teleported over, it's been a month and a half in the Elf World; the Elf Clan's guard has been clearing the biological skeletons around Kolos City, especially the large ones. By the time I returned, aside from the Dragon Skeletons in the Ice Disaster Rift, most have been cleared..."

Lu Heng briefly described the situation on Queldorei Continent and then started discussing the tasks after teleporting.

"Although I personally feel the possibility of multi-species recruitment is low, since we haven't found other Human Recruiters, we need to prepare for multi-species recruitment."

Xie Shi'en started taking notes: "Multi-species recruitment, this is the first time I've heard of it."

Typically, multi-species recruitment occurs in Abyss Battlefields with high Danger Levels.

Humans encountered multi-species recruitment roughly two years after Abyss Descent; it's now mid-September of the second year, and so far, no information on multi-species growth has emerged.

Of course, the Elf Clan has resisted Abyss invasions for over seven hundred years and has witnessed almost all recruitment modes, so there are indeed channels to acquire such information.

Lu Heng briefly explained: "Multi-species recruitment is simple; multiple alien races are summoned to the same Abyss Battlefield to perform identical or closely aligned tasks.

"From the task released by the summoning will, for different species, the Recruiters have the same task goals."

"However, differing species make the situation on the Abyss Battlefield highly complex."

"Conflicts can arise even among Human Recruiters, let alone with Recruiters of other species."

Xie Shi'en nodded in agreement: "Indeed, take the Sea Demon Clan for example; at the start, they weren't exactly friendly. If it weren't for helping the Sea Demon Clan resolve the Flame Demon Gross crisis, they wouldn't be hostile, but they were at least indifferent."

Lu Heng continued: "That's precisely what I mean; if it's confirmed a multi-species recruitment mode, when encountering Recruiters from other species, a posture of vigilance and cooperation is necessary; don't display hostility first, but if attacked, we must retaliate with the aim to protect ourselves."

Su Muyu pursed her lips in contemplation and asked: "To what extent should the retaliation go?"

Lu Heng, in a slightly cold voice, replied: "In necessary times, kill the Recruiters from other species; not all of them can cooperate."

"In fact, Human Recruiters can't necessarily cooperate, let alone differing species."

"If they're unknown species, we don't understand their habits, we don't know their identities, and encountering various teams is possible."

"So, once conflict arises and it's necessary to strike, don't hesitate."

Su Muyu sighed; she hoped for peaceful relations with alien Recruiters sharing the same goals, but she knew that her thoughts might not align with theirs.

After Lu Heng finished discussing multi-species recruitment, he clapped his hands and said: "Everyone, don't stress too much about the multi-species recruitment; this Abyss Battlefield may not follow that mode, mentioning it beforehand is just to prepare everyone mentally."

Subsequently, Lin Zeyu began distributing weapons and resources.

The Training Room was already filled with various weapons, ammunition, and survival supplies.

He pointed to the neatly stacked boxes and said: "These are the resources collected over the past few days; we've already put what's needed into the inventory, take what you need."

Lu Heng checked the weapons and ammunition in the boxes, specifically picking out high-powered bombs for the inventory.

Actually, against the Skull Sea numbering hundreds of thousands, these bombs are practically a drop in the ocean.

However, having them is better than not; they might turn the tide in critical moments.

...

After dinner together, Lu Heng received a blessing message from Jian Qing.
