My monster merges everything.

Chapter 411 Object of Sacrifice

Bai Qilan's words surprised everyone present, because they had never thought that the research center would find an alternative method within half a month.

In fact, not only were the frontline fighters fighting day and night, but the people in the research center also did not stop their research.

From injections to genetic medicines, from culture nests to transformations. They kept coming up with plans and overturning them. Hundreds of abandoned plans were thrown into the trash can of the research center before they deduced a more reliable method.

"Tell me more specifically."

Bai Qilan saw Su Han nod, and then slowly said: "Whether it is the one-eyed knight or the three-eyed bishop, their transformation process can be divided into two parts. The first is the accumulation of energy. The spiritual energy accumulated in battle, the power contained in all the apostles, etc. are all the sources of power; the second is the power of rules as a primer. Whether it is a divine sacrifice or an apostle sacrifice, in essence, it is to draw in the power of certain existences from the Great Blood Sea as a primer to guide fusion and breakthrough. We have the power of the apostles ourselves, and the power of the same source is also the best material for fusion; although fusion is difficult, there are also disguised methods, such as cultivation nests, potions, etc. What we lack is the power of rules."

At this point, everyone looked at Su Han at the same time. With the sixth level of strength, he began to master the power of rules, and he was the only one here.

"Use the power of my rules?"

Su Han frowned slightly. He didn't think that his power of rules was enough to compare with the power of rules of the Eye Demon Lord.

"Not entirely. It should be said that it is the power of the Moon Nest and the Star Torch Tree."

Bai Qilan made a startling statement. She said, "The energy of the Star Torch Tree contains a lot of human emotions, spirits, beliefs and other powers. To some extent, they are of the same origin. If we use it to simulate the sacrificial fusion of the Three-Eyed Bishop, the success rate may be higher, but the price is to be bound to the Star Torch Tree forever."

"The path of the Cyclops Knight is similar, but the medium and sustenance have been changed to the Moon Nest. With the help of the Moon Nest's ability to transform and integrate flesh and blood, the rules are integrated into the body to complete the transformation. However, after the transformation, it will be deeply bound to the Apostle Zerg."

The pros and cons are clearly stated.

After using both methods, binding will allow the individual's strength to increase more quickly, and if you have talent, advancement will be even faster.

But this also means that we will no longer be able to do without these two systems. Although we will not be controlled, our strengths are completely bound together. Separation means extreme weakening.

The sources of these two forces are more or less related to Su Han.

"Think about it. If successful, we should be able to have more fifth-level ones."

"Don't think about it."

Kou Wenji, the serious man, suddenly laughed and said, "Integrating into the Star Torch and protecting humanity can open a separate page in my family tree. There is no need to consider so much. I will do it."

"Fuck you!"

Liu Rulong slammed the table and glared at Kou Wenji. "Who will go and who won't? Submit the list first, unify the number of people, and then let the lord and Miss Bai make the arrangements. Do you think this is a heroic sacrifice? Don't put all your eggs in one basket. For each legion or team, I suggest that only one-third of the chief and deputy positions can sign up."

"I agree with General Liu's suggestion."

Su Han spoke out in affirmation at this time. He glanced at the people present and said, "Although it is a bit cruel, those who are talented can break through to the fifth level with their own abilities. I do not recommend this method. If a contractor breaks through to the fifth level, there will be five fifth-level apostles after a while. You should know what I mean."

Apostle sacrifice, in addition to the advantage of breakthrough, the individual combat power is also relatively strong among the same level.

However, they will be at a disadvantage in terms of numbers.

Su Han must consider the pros and cons clearly and control the overall situation, otherwise if everyone takes the same path, it will be disadvantageous to the entire human force.

"understood."

Kou Wenji answered in a deep voice, nodded heavily, and suppressed the thought just now.

The intensity of the military selection was far beyond Liu Rulong's expectations. It took less than half a day from the end of the meeting to the delivery of the order.

There are already fifty or sixty fourth-level captains and generals who have signed up, including the Armed Forces, Tree Domain Ministers, and some other special positions.

War is a catalyst. During the period from preparation to the outbreak of war, a large number of elites exchanged their contribution points for materials to enhance their strength.

After a large amount of Abyss Zerg materials were made into colonization equipment, potions, treatment nests and other supplies, and the exchange rights were opened, everyone's strength increased very quickly.

Fifty or sixty fourth-level warriors are not the total number, but it is much more than before the war.

By the evening, the final list was handed over to Su Han. The number of people had reached 92. The remaining third-level upper-class and those who had just broken through to the fourth-level lower-class had all been sent back.

"There are 92 people in total. The frontline troops occupy 6 floors, the infrastructure team and logistics team occupy 3 floors, and the remaining floor is for scientific research personnel."

"Kill all the scientific researchers. It's not time for them to go to the battlefield yet. Why are they joining in the fun?"

Before Su Han could say anything, Liu Rulong and other military guys had already started cursing.

Their armed forces have not been wiped out yet, so how could it be their turn to go to the battlefield? Those who were assigned to schools to be teachers and instructors also went to the battlefield. Are they crazy?

Thanks to the integration of resources in the southern territory, the first comprehensive university has been established in the rear, with only two major branches: Contract Combat and Psionic Technology.

Some of the people who were originally engaged in scientific research or teaching in schools were transferred there to teach, but unexpectedly they also came out to sign up at this time.

Liu Rulong is an old-fashioned tough guy. He couldn't bear it when he saw this and was so angry that he blew his beard and glared.

Who the hell spread the news so widely?

"We need 20 fifth-level fighters to complete the reverse plan. I will let the Black Gold Knights, Ancestral Beasts, and Insect Beasts make up for the remaining shortfall. You should eliminate those with good talents and those who are unlikely to break through even after changing the path. Then we will start the first round of testing tomorrow."

"clear."

After another round of screening, a total of thirty fourth-level medium and upper-level generals were selected, including Zhou Xichao, Zhang Xinxiu and others.

Zhou Xichao is the third most important general in the East China Sea base, only below Liu Rulong and Kou Wenji. However, he was still included in the list.

His talent is not bad, and he has already broken through to the upper fourth level in continuous fighting. Logically speaking, as long as he continues to accumulate, he has a chance of breaking through to the fifth level.

But his appearance here means the tacit approval of Liu Rulong and Kou Wenji, which is also Zhou Xichao's own wish.

In the face of a major war, the East China Sea base armed forces must make a statement no matter what.

So after Kou Wenji and Zhou Xichao drew lots, it was Zhou Xichao who stood up.

Zhang Xinxiu is the leader of the survivors in Lisu County. After joining the Tree Domain, he has been leading the team to fight monsters in the Tree Domain Army. His promotion along the way has been quite fast and he now has the middle strength of the fourth level.

Among the generals of the Tree Domain, Zhu Xiong and other front-line generals did not choose to break through. With the resources of the Tree Domain, they had enough confidence to break through to the fifth level. Choosing to break through at this time was not the best option.

After the personnel were selected, everyone came to the preparation site of the research center, which was the place where Fan Wentao and his team had made a breakthrough before.

The huge metal trial field still stood in the center of the venue, but unlike the first time, there was a huge star torch tree in the middle of the venue this time.

This is the Star Torch Tree that Bai Qilan ordered people to transport here. It is also a hundred-meter-tall Star Torch Tree, containing powerful Star Torch energy.

"Among the thirty people, are twenty of them on the path of knight transformation?" "Yes"

Bai Qilan nodded, and then said: "Those with stronger spiritual strength can take the path of the Star Torch Guardian. Those with better physical talents are best to take the Knight path. It is easier for them to transform from the physical body to the spiritual body."

She paused for a moment, then said, "Is the solution provided by the research center okay with you?"

At the meeting, Bai Qilan had one thing left to say, and that was integration.

The process of transforming an apostle into a strengthening potion or something else is irreversible. Once started, there is no regret.

The best way to integrate them is to have the power of rules intervene at this step.

Su Han shook his head and said, "No problem."

He looked at the thirty people approaching with a serious expression, and then said, "Are you all ready?"

"Ready at all the time."

The generals who came from the armed forces took the lead in responding, their eyes more determined than ever.

"The spark will not be extinguished, humanity will surely win, and your sacrifice and courage will be remembered by everyone."

People will not die, but no one can tell the path of the future; they are all pioneers.

"If the spark is not extinguished, mankind will surely win!"

Thirty people shouted in unison, and the other armed forces and researchers present followed suit, saying that there would always be no shortage of pioneers when it came to making such a choice.

"The Star Torch Guardian Path is coming out."

Zhang Xinxiu strode forward, and together with him were other generals, including those from the armed forces and survivors who grew up from civilians.

There were ten people in total, all wearing standard black beetle-colonial armor and standing tall.

"Zhang Xinxiu, you go first."

"Yes, Lord!"

Zhang Xinxiu strode out, the Book of Blood Spirit in his hand lit up, and soon four apostles appeared behind him.

A poisonous tree crawler, an alien stinger, a tiger-winged demon, and a void shield beetle. The four apostles are all intermediate fourth-level.

Zhang Xinxiu is an out-and-out ancestral tree enhancer. The advancement and mutation of the three apostles are all related to the ancestral tree. Even the last void shield beetle comes from the power of the apostle Zerg.

The resources of the Tree Domain enabled him to grow rapidly. He witnessed the expansion of the Tree Domain from Nanfang City to Lisu County, and then it took over more cities step by step and rescued more survivors. He was one of the most loyal supporters.

Su Han controlled the power of the Star Torch Tree, and the power of rules began to be injected into it, especially a trace of rules evolved from the soul fusion talent. During this control, it began to be injected into the Star Torch Tree.

Purple light emanated from the Torch Tree, covering the entire test site. The sky turned a gorgeous purple, and the rays of light were as dazzling as the aurora.

At this time, the Star Torch Tree seemed to have some of the gaze of Su Han's Star Torch Tree soul, and the rules turned into star points, lingering around the purple Star Torch Tree.

When Su Han witnessed the sacrifice of the apostles, he already had a vague idea in his mind. Now Bai Qilan's plan has allowed Su Han to completely transform this idea into reality, and he is trying to realize it.

Possessing the talent of soul fusion, if he injects the power of soul fusion into the Star Torch Tree and guides it with the power of rules, it should make the transformation more natural and achieve something like the sacrifice of an apostle.

"Go ahead and blend it."

Su Han just thought about it, and suddenly a dazzling mark fell from the Star Torch Tree and flew in front of Zhang Xinxiu.

Zhang Xinxiu didn't hesitate at all and took it directly in his hand. Then the Star Torch Mark directly merged into his body. In an instant, the light flowed, and four purple energy lines surged out with his body as the center, penetrating the apostle's body.

The energy line carrying the powerful force of rules fell on the apostle, disintegrating the apostle's body with incredible power.

The flesh and blood body was constantly transformed into psychic factors under the impact of psychic energy. Countless psychic factors emitted faint light and spread throughout the body little by little from the place of penetration.

The shadows of the apostles' souls suddenly appeared at their original positions. After their bodies became spiritualized, they became more obvious, and at the same time, they became more agitated due to the spiritual energy.

Zhang Xinxiu opened his eyes and began to attract psychic energy factors to flow into his body. A large amount of psychic energy was integrated into his body and continuously impacted his flesh, causing his spirit to suffer unimaginable pain.

A painful howl came from deep in his throat, and veins bulged all over Zhang Xinxiu's body as he continuously absorbed this torrent of psychic energy into his own body's psychic control.

Everyone watched intently. If one wanted to become stronger or take shortcuts, one was bound to pay some unimaginable price.

The infusion of psychic factors lasted for a full ten minutes. When the psychic factor of the last apostle poured into his body, Zhang Xinxiu's aura had changed. The constantly escaping psychic fluctuations showed that he had reached the upper fourth level.

"The initial sacrifice was successful."

Bai Qiuwen stared at the process closely. A large amount of spiritual energy was condensed in Zhang Xinxiu's body, which allowed him to break through to the fourth level upper level. However, this was only a preliminary step. The spiritual energy factor was only a part of it. More power was contained in the apostle's soul that was extracted and refined.

"bring it on!"

Zhang Xinxiu's eyes seemed to be burning with flames, and he took the initiative to grab with his big hands. The psychic chain that tied the four apostles directly pulled the four apostles over and then sank into his body.

"what!"

For a moment, the black beetle armor shattered due to the powerful psychic energy impact, exposing Zhang Xinxiu's body.

At this time, his strong body was covered with fine wounds, and blood began to flow out, but it was faintly revealing a purple fluorescent light. The initial integration of the psychic factor had not yet been completely absorbed by him. This was one of the actual manifestations.

The soul of the apostle continued to melt in his body, and then merged with his soul power bit by bit.

Zhang Xinxiu only felt that his soul seemed to be constantly kneaded by a giant hand like magma, and together with the soul of the apostle, it was constantly being mixed together like molten glass.

The soul began to become spiritualized, the control over spiritual energy became more and more acute, and the aura on the body also rose steadily.

"Level 5."

Zhu Xiong exclaimed and lowered his voice. He had already sensed the breath of the fifth level. Although it was very weak, Zhang Xinxiu had already taken that step.

"not yet."

Bai Qiuwen's face turned serious, and he said, "Here comes the most difficult part of Star Torch Guardian."
