Chapter 631 - 628: The Soaked Head
The intelligence introduced by Li Ling has been mostly studied by Bai Pu.
It’s nothing more than some witness statements and a summary of the basic overview of the three Plane Worlds.
However, this information is still too little for a Spirit Realm war.
Launching a war is not that simple.
The most important factor for a war to break out is: both sides must have interests that they must fight for, forcing them to commit their main forces.
Bai Pu has to clearly determine which of these three Plane Worlds is most important to the Demon Race (a certain group), so as not to have a war legion mobilized for nothing.
Time doesn’t wait for anyone!
According to the latest intelligence from the interrogation room, there are only 79 Cosmic Days left until the Sea Race invasion.
Cosmic Day and Cosmic Time are actually universal time units used in the cosmos, equivalent to an Earth day or hour in length.
When Bai Pu first learned about the concept of Cosmic Day being the same length as an Earth day, he was quite puzzled. After all, an Earth day is based on Earth’s rotation and the Sun’s rise and set, unique to Earth’s rules.
There’s no reason for it to be exactly the same as the universal standard.
Unless there’s some special reason.
Of course, Bai Pu won’t waste brain cells on thinking about things with too many possibilities. Leave such matters to astronomers to solve—of course, astronomy in the Spiritual Era seems to be different too.
In short, there are only 79 days left before the Sea Race invasion.
It can’t be ruled out that this smoke screen released by Iron Fox and others might mean that the real invasion date is even earlier.
We must seize every minute!
Nowadays, launching a highly efficient, fast-paced Spirit Realm war is Bai Pu’s most important task.
Just as a few representatives were exchanging views, suddenly a message was sent to Bai Pu’s personal info terminal.
Bai Pu raised his watch. With his current status, there are already very few numbers that can directly reach his personal terminal.
On the personal watch, a familiar code is displayed:
Dai Sect.
...
Dai Sect is still the same, with a large frame, over two meters tall, dressed in a simple and natural manner, like a wilderness man.
"Elder Dai Sect, long time no see, still unchanged." Bai Pu greeted him.
Dai Sect scrutinized Bai Pu: "You’ve changed quite a bit."
Bai Pu smiled. Someone like Bai Pu, who disappears for several months and then rises from a nobody to the top-tier sequence in the Central Hub, and even gets a pinnacle title, is indeed extremely rare.
Top Awakened ones mostly accumulate day after day, like Dai Sect, whose strength remains unchanged after several months, staying put, which is more of the norm.
"Elder Dai Sect suddenly comes looking for me, there must be something." Bai Pu got to the point.
Dai Sect nodded slightly, suddenly took something out from the Storage Space.
This is a round glass container holding a head.
To be precise, it’s a head of a Sea Race Otherworld Traveler, most noticeable by the nose extending forward like a serrated longsword, reminiscent of ocean Swordfish.
This Swordfish Sea Race head, with a broken neck, seemed like it was snapped by brute force.
The severed neck, with thin strands of blood vessels, connected to the pale yellow liquid inside the container.
It looks like a water lily floating on the water, with broken blood vessels like the roots and stems of the water lily, soaking in the water.
"I killed a Sea Race spy in the Demon Fighting World."
Dai Sect slowly said, "He’s not completely dead yet, I used an artifact to preserve his brain tissue. The work’s a bit crude, but it’s no problem."
Dai Sect showed Bai Pu this round vessel filled with pale yellow liquid.
[Expired Formalin Solution: C-level Silver Artifact. Biological tissues soaked in this solution won’t decay. If brain tissue is soaked here, its residual consciousness won’t dissipate temporarily, lasting 7 days.]
Bai Pu was still focused on what Dai Sect said.
"You killed this Sea Race in the Demon Fighting World?"
It’s not good news that the Sea Race shows up in Bai Pu’s "Professional Plane," the Demon Fighting World.
Dai Sect said, "Yes. You can ask any questions to him... that is, to this head. He only has fragmented memories now, without loyalty or confidentiality-minded consciousness. Here’s the intel I’ve asked."
While speaking, Dai Sect sent a page of information to Bai Pu’s personal watch.
Bai Pu checked the message, and his brows furrowed instantly.
According to the message from Dai Sect, the Sea Race Awakened ones are invading the Demon Fighting World largely due to Bai Pu provoking that Demon God—Salajael.
Apparently, Salajael is associated with the Divine behind the Sea Race.
Once Salajael awakens, He will become the strongest in the Demon Fighting World, nearly equivalent to Our Lady of Thorns and is not restricted by the Origin Oath.
That’s truly lawless.
The matter is serious, Bai Pu still questioned this Swordfish Sea Race to confirm the intelligence.
Dai Sect handed a translator to Bai Pu: "This was taken from the ear of the Swordfish Sea Race; you can choose to translate the Stilan Language into the corresponding Plane World’s language or translate our language into Stilan Language."
Bai Pu took the translator artifact, activated it, and asked a series of questions to the Swordfish Sea Race.
The latter responded like a malfunctioning computer, sometimes able and sometimes unable to answer Bai Pu’s questions, the voice staggered.
"Does the Sea Race have a plan to invade the Demon Fighting World?"
"There is... mission..."
"What mission?"
"To seize... essence..."
"What essence? What does it do?"
"Offer... to the great... True Red Divine Envoy..."
Bai Pu’s eyes grew solemn, he asked several more questions regarding the Sea Race invasion’s details, but the Swordfish Sea Race head clearly didn’t remember much detailed stuff.
In the end, the head repeated only one phrase:
"Intestine Carver... long live..."
Anyway, the Sea Race invading the Demon Fighting World is certain.
"True Red Divine Envoy should be Demon God Salajael."
Bai Pu recollected a bit, "Back at the Red Sand Ancient Ruins, Salajael’s ’Town Domain’ name was True Red Town Domain, based on His ability, it also evolved into True Red Power, True Red Executor..."
Dai Sect nodded: "You’re right."
Bai Pu understood Dai Sect’s intentions: "Elder Dai Sect means to have the Huaxia Advanced Combat Team go to the Demon Fighting World to battle the Sea Race."
Dai Sect nodded again: "Correct."
From Dai Sect’s perspective, he has invested in the Demon Fighting World for a long time, obviously not wanting to see the Sea Race invasion destroy years of hard work.
With only Dai Sect, he’s sure to be weak; recruiting the entire Huaxia Advanced Combat Team to fight the Sea Race greatly increases the odds of victory.
