The shape of the incubator is like an hourglass, with a large number of runes carved on the outside, and the overall structure does not show any sense of technology, which is full of the exquisite aesthetics of the workshop.

Li Aozi estimated that in addition to the Mithril (titanium alloy) that he could take out and replace, other magic side products, including wooden materials.

In many cases, there is no such thing as a right or wrong thing about technology - because most of the time, materials and environment determine the direction of the development of a civilization's technology tree.

For example, the innate materials of some civilizations are good, there are tea, ceramics, bamboo, mulberry leaves, the four seasons are distinct, and the terrain is rich in depth, so the road of science and technology tree is different from other civilizations.

The universe is very large, different civilizations have different environments, and the materials used locally are also different, and it is a natural thing for science and technology to people, but it is like witchcraft in the eyes of the Azure Star people.

However, it is surprising that every civilization has developed a [destruction] profession, and I have to say that it is really touching: there is no civilization that is not built on killing and war.

For Leoz, the incubator itself is made of various magical materials, and it also has a spell rune effect.

- Isn't this the mysterious side product you need?

After he hatched the egg, he disassembled the incubator and loaded it into the biochemical tank.

Isn't there a cultivation function that had to be castrated due to the problem of raw materials?

Aozi easily placed the blue-purple Void creature egg into the incubator, and then leisurely scrolled through the player forums to see if there were any new hell jokes to have fun while waiting for it to hatch.

Half an hour later, only to hear a crisp 'snap' sound, Li Oz raised his eyes and saw that in the incubator, the eggs of the void creatures cracked a deep gap.

With a rustling sound, an inverted triangular sharp head slowly crawled out of it, like a lizard and a praying mantis, with jagged teeth delicately tearing open the eggshell, the petite but strong body took on the posture of a high-level hunter in nature, the dark purple exoskeleton plate armor flowed with pale blue void energy, and four prismatic eyes like scars appeared with terrifying golden flashes.

Its body structure is like a combination of a crocodile and a praying mantis, draped in crocodile plate armor and a long tail, while at the same time having the light posture and sharp scythe of a praying mantis, and even blooming thin petal-shaped gorgeous wings on its back—all of which speak to its identity: a juvenile of a high-level predator of the Void.

"Void predators? Looks like I'm lucky, at least I didn't get anything like Void Steam out of me. ”

Just as Leoz was about to open the incubator and use gravity to shred the hatchling, using it as material for future cultivation of cyborgs, something unexpected happened.

Click!

The Void Predator twitched all over, as if it had gone crazy, constantly hitting the glass of the incubator, its body quickly dried up at a speed visible to the naked eye, its muscles and shell quickly dried up, and with a flash of effort, the predator, which was still strong and fierce just now, fell to the ground, its eyes were dark, and its body quickly collapsed and shattered, turning into a blue-purple crystalline powder.

This is...... What's the situation?

Void creatures can't be so adaptable, even the surface of a black hole can find traces of them, not to mention that this is a blue star that is very suitable for living creatures in an environment.

"Huh?"

With his mutated vision, he quickly caught a tiny creature crawling slowly in the blue-purple crystals: it was a strange bug no bigger than a thumb nail, with a small body and a translucent white body. It continued to squirm and crawl forward, continuing to absorb the remaining Void energy, and along with the powder that absorbed the Void crystals, it was covered with spines all over its body, and its body also grew in a circle, its head became slender, and the tail end derived a drill-like structure.

"This doesn't seem to be a void creature."

Li Oz twisted it with gravity, his eyes focused, magnified more than ten times, and immediately saw the structure of its translucent body.

After comparing it with the various creatures in his memory, Li Oz finally determined its true identity:

"Maggots."

This situation surprised him greatly.

Although it is called a 'maggot', it is actually the same as the Holy Roman Empire - neither holy, nor Roman, nor an empire.

Spirit maggots are neither spirit creatures nor maggots. It is an ancient cosmic creature, and it can even be said that this race has actually existed for longer than some narrative-level civilizations.

It's just that it's not a creature that should be in the first abyss.

"The spirit maggot, an ancient creature, is a completely metamorphosed and developed starry sky life, and it has a transcendent status among the various religions of the second layer of the star abyss. Especially for Narrative 12 [Annihilation Temple], the maggots are enshrined by the Pantheon as the 'Chosen Creation'. ”

However, Li Oz knew that there was a more practical use for this thing.

The life of a spirit maggot is indeed very similar to that of a bug, with four stages of development: egg, larva, pupa and adult. It's just that the genetic gap between mosquitoes and maggots is as big as the genetic gap between bananas and humans.

It will devour high-energy substances in the larval stage, from nuclear radiation to void energy, which will eventually become its pupation savings. When it collects enough energy, it will burrow into the core of a planet, with the help of geothermal heat, for a long sleep, and at the same time, its ganglia and synapses will dig the whole planet full of holes, and the special particles secreted by the body will cover every cubic meter of air, and over a long period of time, it will continue to receive and feel the environment on the surface of the earth, and even remotely transform the biosphere on the ground.

When it awakens, the whole planet will be reborn.

Yes, by this point, the practical usefulness of the spirit maggot has already been manifested.

According to Narrative No. 12 [Annihilation Temple], the tracking experiment on the cantilevered colorful cloud star under the constellation of Jagda shows that it takes 20,000 to 30,000 years for the maggot to mature and become the guardian saint of the planet.

This is also in line with the purpose of the [Annihilation Temple]: to support, excavate, and cultivate a civilized god, and then invite the other party to join the sacred pantheon, and offer the help of the gods for the immortality of the national glory of the twelfth narrative.

"This thing is good, the [Annihilation Temple] should be at a good price."

Li Oz put the maggot in a vacuum container and kept it with him, his expression playful.

When it comes to the living creatures of the lower Star Abyss, not to mention the products that the [Annihilation Temple] attaches great importance to, in the past, they could only sacrifice some of the strong and let them rise to the surface and bear the curse repeatedly, and try to bring as many as possible each time.

As a result, spirit maggots are often priceless in the market, and magical civilizations are also thirsty for this thing, and the scientific research value of spirit maggots is very great, but the one who has the greatest demand for this thing and is willing to bid hard is still [Annihilation Temple].

"I've found that since Duzershin left me, luck has suddenly improved."

Li Oz hummed a little song softly, this spirit maggot was the first pot of gold when he went to the universe in the future.

"Now that I've been able to open maggots, I can't even think about what good things will happen next, it's not like the game tester will find me in person and pull me to shoot a promotional video, right?"

Li Oz muttered.

Winter, winter, winter!

Suddenly, there was a knock at the door, and the laboratory guard shouted:

"Mr. Rio Oz! Three frost-plated elders came outside, saying that they had something urgent to see you. ”
