From then on, it would become the sole Tier Four Life Form in its race.
Only after long eons, when the race’s genes have once again evolved a large enough sample size, can a new Cosmic Life be born.
Alternatively, they could wait for the Tier Four life sequence position to become vacant and hold another supreme evolution competition.
Take the Zerg Race Mother Empress, for example.
But for humanity, which has never produced a Tier Four life form, whoever first breaks through to Tier Four will become the Lord of Humanity—the King of Humankind.
And in the future, they could aim for even higher tiers.
"You’re right, it’s time to prepare. Once this decisive battle is over and I’ve settled the arrangements in Jin City, I’ll make a trip to the rear safe zone to complete this deal with them."
"I’ll also take the opportunity to probe the true capabilities of these genetically edited Supermen and see how much of their power is just hype."
A slight smile touched Lin Feng’s lips as he took out his phone and contacted Chen Yanyan. He arranged for two Battle Group Leaders to lead a dozen Battle Group members to escort twenty Tier Two Zerg Eggs, to be delivered by tomorrow morning.
After hanging up, he looked at the second round of surgery, which was nearing completion. The time was now eleven in the morning.
"How is it?" Lin Feng asked in a low voice. "Will the modified Genetic Warriors be able to resist the Mother Empress’s Spirit Manipulation?"
Ling Yi shrugged.
"The success rate for this surgery is over 90%, and the mortality rate for Tier Two Awakeners is negligible."
"As for the Spiritual Control you’re worried about, as long as they stay more than a kilometer away from the Mother Empress, it won’t have much of an effect. With a layer of earth in between, you have even less to worry about."
"Deploying them on the front lines to fight the Samurai Hunter Zergs will be no problem at all."
"For the beheading strike, the remaining eighty Tier Two members can simply assist us in penetrating the Underground, led by a few Battle Group Commanders."
"Oh, and don’t worry about Shen Jie being controlled. As long as he can master the Slaughter Realm, even a Tier Three Late Stage Mother Empress would find it difficult to affect him."
"King Spine Zergs are notoriously dangerous and can go berserk at any moment. If they weren’t so cheap and convenient to cultivate, with well-balanced Attributes, they wouldn’t have been chosen as war machines."
A slight smile played on Lin Feng’s lips.
"Good. If Shen Jie can join the battle, our chances of victory will increase by at least another ten percent."
Hearing Lin Feng start to assess their odds of winning the final battle, Ling Yi began to ponder the problem seriously. ’My original plan was to throw myself into the fray, sacrificing this avatar to hold back the Jiangbei Mother Empress as long as possible and prevent her from summoning her Divine Realm.’
’This would allow Lin Feng to successfully land the kill and break through to Tier Three...’
’...and maybe even move him a little.’
’But even then, the overall success rate wasn’t high. With Shen Jie’s support, the odds of victory were only about sixty to seventy percent.’
’Now, with the completion of the deal here, a powerful new weapon would be added to their arsenal: a Nuclear Bomb...’
’How to use it effectively to maximize their chances of a kill became the main problem for Ling Yi to consider.’
’The silent, lip-read exchange between Lin Feng and Ling Shuyan had already detailed the various drawbacks and shortcomings of using a nuclear warhead to kill the Mother Empress...’
’How could they transport it to the Mother Empress’s side undetected, and then make a clean getaway before the detonation...?’
’The conditions for using it were no less restrictive than her sacrificing herself.’
’Besides, this time she couldn’t just "sacrifice her life for the greater good."’
’The collapsed Wormhole tunnel needed Ling Yi to command the Red-Armored Beetles and help Lin Feng’s group dig through it as quickly as possible.’
At this moment, Lin Feng was also thinking about this. The reason he had readily agreed to Ling Shuyan’s terms was that he had already devised a countermeasure.
"A mini-nuke is only about half the size of a person, forty to fifty centimeters in diameter. Can we stuff them into Tier Two Zerg Eggs and have the Red-Armored Beetles deliver them?"
"Last time we went deep Underground, didn’t we see a batch of Red-Armored Beetles travel all the way to the deepest Nest to deliver food to the Mother Empress?"
"If the Jiangbei Mother Empress plans to slip into Taihu Lake as the final battle breaks out, she’ll definitely be moving at full speed. You said yourself that this consumes a lot of Energy."
"So, she will definitely prepare a large amount of food and eat on the move to ensure her State doesn’t decline too much."
After hearing Lin Feng’s proposal, Ling Yi began to consider the plan’s feasibility.
’The plan’s logic was sound...’
’But the key problem was that any Zerg approaching the Mother Empress would be subjected to a strict inspection. They had to deceive the Mother Empress’s Spiritual Scan so the Red-Armored Beetle carrying the Zerg Egg could get close enough to detonate the Nuclear Bomb.’
After thinking it over, Ling Yi, being a Mother Empress Avatar herself, knew the feasibility of such a plan was extremely low.
No Mother Empress would make such a fatal mistake. No matter how rushed she was, she would never forget to screen the accompanying Tier Two Zerg Race members and the Red-Armored Beetle Swarm handling logistics.
Seeing Ling Yi shake her head and reject the feasibility of manipulating Red-Armored Beetles to enter the Wormhole, Lin Feng quickly came up with another plan.
"Since we know she’ll be in a hurry, why don’t we set up an ambush along her likely route? We can bury the mini-nukes in advance and just detonate them when she passes by!"
"Besides, to shorten her travel time, she’ll definitely send Red-Armored Beetles across the river into Chang City ahead of time to scout the path and dig some small Wormhole tunnels."
"Otherwise, if she runs into unexpected trouble on the way and gets delayed, wouldn’t all her efforts be for naught?"
Ling Yi’s eyes suddenly lit up. This plan had a high chance of success, as long as the Jiangbei Mother Empress didn’t detect it beforehand.
The vast territory to the North of Wu City was currently under the patrol and control of the Dreadnought Battleship. Planting a few mini-nukes would be a piece of cake.
