Chapter 506 – The Spirit Algae Catastrophe That Destroys Everything

“I am your god, your father. I decree that the fruits you bear shall not nourish evildoers and heretics, nor shall the spiritual energy you exhale be absorbed by heretics. You shall be the benevolent fruit for humanity, the calamity for evildoers and heretics…”

“No!!”

As Mu Lin issued his Divine Decree, the deities surrounding Moon Star instantly sensed something amiss.

They roared in fury, attempting to interrupt Mu Lin’s words. Some deities frantically unleashed their own auras and Domains, striving to prevent the activation of his Divine Decree.

Unfortunately, it was futile. Mu Lin was still quite distant from Moon Star, and more crucially, the Divine Decree he invoked was activating a pre-established contingency, not catalyzed temporarily with Divine Power. Thus, the Alien Realm deities’ attempts to obstruct Mu Lin’s Divine Power were in vain.

Even other methods proved useless, as Mu Lin’s activation mechanism was far from ordinary—he employed the Quantum Entanglement Effect.

—In the microscopic realm, there exists a “mysterious” correlation between two or more entangled particles. Even when separated by vast distances with no medium between them, the behavior of one particle will affect the state of the other. This phenomenon is known as quantum entanglement theory, something unexplainable by the science of his previous life and whose principles Mu Lin still did not comprehend.

But lack of understanding did not hinder Mu Lin from applying it.

Leveraging this Quantum Entanglement Effect, Mu Lin developed energy transmission for Paper Substitutes and the Substitute Death Counterattack.

Now applied to his own creations, it proved exceptionally effective.

—The moment his command was issued, even as the Foreign Races deities reacted in various ways, they remained powerless to stop the aberration of plants on Moon Star.

These deities could only watch helplessly as the plants on Moon Star transformed from docile producers into domineering plunderers and killers.

With their restrictions lifted by Mu Lin, the Spirit Algae ceased exhaling spiritual energy and instead began frantically absorbing it to proliferate.

In an extremely short time, the amount of spiritual energy on Moon Star plummeted significantly—destruction is always easier than construction. If this continued, Moon Star would soon revert to a barren and desolate state.

Moreover, the danger of Spirit Algae did not end there.

As a special plant resembling fungi, the Spirit Algae cultivated by Mu Lin could release countless Spores and Mycelium into the air.

At this moment, Moon Star was shrouded in a hazy mist—countless Mycelium and Spores dispersed by the Spirit Algae, spreading across the entire world.

Under normal circumstances, these Spores and fungi would not pose much threat.

But once Mu Lin lifted the restrictions, a terrifying scene would unfold.

Animals, humans, other trees, as well as rocks, steel—all organic and inorganic matter would be parasitized by the Mycelium and Spores of the Spirit Algae.

They would take root, continuously draining the host’s energy to proliferate or coexist with plants and animals.

With such large-scale parasitism, the animals and plants on Moon Star would quickly become Aberrants and Parasites.

And many plants possessed hallucinogenic properties, such as Hallucinogenic Sage, Wormwood, and the legendary ‘white stems, red caps, eat them together and lie on the board’ Hallucinogenic Mushroom.

Hmm… Manjusaka also belongs to the category of highly hallucinogenic plants.

These plants all possess hallucinogenic and toxic properties. As a Blue Algae meticulously optimized by Mu Lin through immense effort, it naturally possesses such abilities—or rather, Mu Lin enhanced the hallucinogenic capabilities of other plants and integrated them into the Spirit Algae.

Currently, if the spores and mycelium of the Spirit Algae parasitize others or other entities, they not only cause energy depletion and physical aberrations in the Parasite.

Their nervous systems are also affected, driving them to madness and frenzy, leading to the destruction of everything around them.

Alternatively, they may be completely controlled by the Spirit Algae spores, becoming entities akin to soldier ants or worker bees, serving Mu Lin.

—When parasitizing the bodies of Foreign Races, the Spirit Algae’s ability to absorb sunlight and facilitate evolution is also activated.

Thus, those parasitized by the Spirit Algae are also capable of evolution. Mu Lin had even considered forming an army of parasitic spores or one primarily composed of aberrant fungi.

…

The traits of rampant reproduction, the ability to absorb Spiritual Energy, release spores, parasitize everything, along with the hallucinogenic and highly toxic properties optimized by Mu Lin—the Spirit Algae he created, if used properly, serves as a Planet Modification Device and the Primordial Source of All Things.

But if misused, or if Mu Lin harbors ulterior motives, it becomes the destroyer of all ecosystems, a World-Ending Cataclysm—technological creations always possess dual natures, much like vehicles providing convenience for movement, yet trucks can run over countless people.

  Now, under Mu Lin’s divine command, the Spirit Algae is demonstrating its side of annihilating all things.

On the Moon Star, the Foreign Races that had just migrated there found their bodies parasitized and their minds shattered by illusions. Without the intervention of a True God, countless Foreign Races would face extinction under this wave of assault.

And if the True Gods intervene… They could indeed destroy the Spirit Algae and save their people.

But all they can do is destruction.

However, after the destruction, leaving behind only a barren and desolate Moon Star is not what they desire.

Whether it is Foreign Races or humans, the pain of loss always brings greater regret and frustration—if they had never obtained a life-bearing planet, it might not matter, but losing it after gaining it is enough to break even some Deities.

Thus, some Deities hurled curses at Mu Lin.

“Despicable! You actually left a hidden trap in your own creation!”

Mu Lin refused to accept this accusation:

“This is no hidden trap. It’s merely that my creation reveres me and is willing to heed my commands… Moreover, I am using my own creation to modify our own territory. What I do should not affect you, nor do I need to listen to your opinions.”

“Oh, you’ve suffered losses, but that is due to your greed and self-inflicted consequences!”

Many Deities had nothing to say in response to Mu Lin’s assessment.

The Spirit Algae was created by Mu Lin, and the Moon Star is human territory. How he operates indeed requires no consideration of others’ opinions—in this era, no one had yet conceived the notion that “human rights outweigh sovereignty.”

Foreign Races, and even Evil Gods, acknowledge Mu Lin’s authority over humanity.

However, although Mu Lin is justified, the Spirit Algae and the Moon Star are matters of life and death for their races.

Thus, some Deities chose to abandon reason.

“Human, you had best restore the life-bearing planet and remove the hidden trap. Otherwise, you will make enemies of all of us.”

“Hah, enemies it is then. It’s not as if we haven’t fought before. Back then, you were helpless against us. Do you think you can defeat us now?”

The ones who stepped forward to support Mu Lin were Heavenly Martial True Lord and Tribulation Thunder True Lord.

The current battle seemed unavoidable, but the situation now was entirely different from before.

At that time, the Human Race True Lords wanted to compete for territory on the Moon Star, which meant they had to take the initiative and were extremely passive.

But now, with the Moon Star on the verge of destruction, it was no longer the humans who were anxious—it was the deities of the hundred Foreign Races from the Alien Realm.

What humans needed to do now was simply defend.

If they truly couldn’t hold out, it wouldn’t matter—they could retreat back to their world and take shelter.

Since the Will of Heaven exerted a strong suppression on deities, the Alien Realm deities dared not rashly enter the Profound Spirit World.

It could be said that fighting beside their world was like guarding a fountain while battling for the Human Race True Lords—they held a significant advantage.

The Human Race’s advantage was not only understood by them but also by the Alien Realm deities.

Because of this, these deities helplessly realized that taking action was the worst approach—if they truly engaged in a fierce battle, aside from fighting the Human Race True Lords and wasting energy, it would serve no purpose.

They couldn’t kill the Human Race True Lords, couldn’t invade the human world, and couldn’t stop the destruction of the Moon Star’s ecosystem.

Thinking this far, some deities were still furious, but others among the Foreign Races changed their expressions, shifting from rage and resentment to amiable and kind-hearted demeanors.

“Human… Your Majesty Mu Lin, we are not actually enemies. Our great foe is the calamity within the Void Chaos and Abyssal Darkness—we don’t need to fight!”
