Chapter 171: Meeting Andrew Again

The quiet and profound blood dream world.

Deep within the blood sea.

Andrew, as always, savored the endless blood crystals.

He didn't need to look at the outside world.

From those blood crystals, Andrew knew that the outside world was becoming increasingly dangerous.

Rampaging Eros beings.

Hidden Qiyuan beings.

And the eerie presences spreading silently.

From time to time, Andrew would also look in a direction—the direction of Saint Haigar.

There, not long ago, a new Cthulhu Dominator had been born.

Very weak, yet also very strong.

Weak only in its Cthulhu life force, but strong in its astonishing divine power and formidable Cthulhu means.

And that newly born Cthulhu being, Andrew was familiar with.

It was the 'Guné Lawrence' he had met several times before.

Andrew had never imagined that the little one, so weak back then,

had now grown into a Dominator.

And an increasingly powerful Dominator at that.

This was something he had never anticipated.

Andrew, who was in the process of awakening from slumber, suddenly lifted his head.

He looked into the distance of the blood sea.

Then he laughed.

"Here!"

Andrew waved his tentacles.

The next moment.

Hum!

The blood sea trembled slightly.

Then, Guné's blood dream body appeared directly in the depths of the deep blood sea, right before Andrew.

After carefully examining Guné, Andrew spoke softly.

"Vibrant life force is blooming within your body."

"The scent of eternity is also spreading."

"A true eternal Cthulhu is about to be born."

Andrew could feel the eternal flame within Guné.

This meant that Guné would possess eternal life.

But eternity also requires the test of time.

The true eternal flame never extinguishes.

As for him, this Cthulhu Dominator, though also bearing the aura of eternity,

over time, his eternal flame was gradually dying out.

Not only he, but many other Cthulhu Dominators born from death were the same.

And if Guné could take a step further,

perhaps he could truly make the eternal flame burn forever.

"Senior, you flatter me. I am still very weak."

Guné lowered his head in response.

"You are no longer weak." Andrew shook his head slightly.

Not dwelling on this topic, Guné pondered for a moment and then quickly spoke.

"Senior, earlier, inside the Emoko Ancient God Mountain in Saint Haigar, I wanted to capture those Qiyuan beings and study them."

"But as soon as I made a move, I was stopped by a powerful Cthulhu Dominator stationed in Saint Haigar."

"His name is Oflo."

"He said that the Qiyuan beings in Saint Haigar need to grow up before being killed, as that would be more valuable."

"He forbade me from interfering with the Qiyuan beings in Saint Haigar."

"I have only been a Cthulhu being for a very short time, and I am still a very weak Cthulhu being. I don't really know what strategy Cthulhu beings adopt toward these Qiyuan beings."

"So, I came here to ask Senior Andrew about this matter."

After listening to Guné, Andrew narrowed his eyes, pondered for a moment, and then opened his slightly closed eyes.

He looked at Guné: "What do you think of his words?"

"Nonsense!"

Guné said succinctly.

"Yes."

Andrew waved his tentacles and began to explain.

"Among Cthulhu beings, there are always some who try to survive in another way."

"For example, coexisting with those Qiyuan beings."

"Is that possible?" Guné's expression turned serious.

"If it were possible, the previous three conflicts between Cthulhu beings and Qiyuan beings would not have occurred."

"Indeed."

"Moreover, you must understand that as Qiyuan beings gradually grow, they will first attack places where they have been massively slaughtered."

"They have a strong vengefulness."

"And this leads to some Cthulhu beings fearing them greatly from past battles."

These words immediately made a sharp light flash deep in Guné's eyes.

"So... that guy named Oflo is afraid?"

"Yes."

"Of course, it can also be seen as a survival strategy for them—a despicable and shameful one."

"If no battles occur in Saint Haigar and they don't die,"

"then the large-scale Qiyuan beings in the depths of the universe won't come."

"Nor will they attack Saint Haigar."

"This way, the three who built hidden nests won't be discovered."

"Even if the Qiyuan beings do eventually launch a large-scale attack against Cthulhu beings,"

"their place will not be the main target of attack."

"The real targets will be places where Cthulhu beings have killed Qiyuan beings before."

"So..."

Guné's expression turned serious.

"That guy named Oflo stopped me from hunting those Qiyuan beings just to avoid exposing their traces?"

"Yes."

"What a cowardly and timid fellow."

Guné shook his head.

"Not everyone is as keen on fighting as you are." Andrew laughed.

"If I could, I wouldn't want to get involved in large-scale battles with Qiyuan beings either."

"But... if I don't kill them, they will grow strong and eventually destroy our world and kill us."

Guné shrugged.

"Since they won't let me fight in Saint Haigar, I don't necessarily have to fight there."

"After all, there are plenty of Qiyuan beings in the starry universe."

If he pursued the Qiyuan beings in Saint Haigar and truly angered those three powerful Cthulhu beings,

Guné would probably not fare well and might even be in mortal danger.

"Indeed." Andrew said.

After a moment of deliberation, Guné looked at Andrew.

"Senior, how much longer until you awaken?"

"Soon." Andrew replied softly.

"In terms of your time, about one hundred and twenty years."

"One hundred and twenty years, soon?" Guné's eye twitched.

For a Cthulhu being, that was indeed a very, very short time.

"Do you have any plans?"

Andrew could naturally sense something from Guné's words.

"Of course."

"I am still relatively weak now and need a longer time to grow."

"And you, Senior, still need some time to fully awaken."

"I think I will cultivate and grow for a while in the Emoko Ancient God Mountain of Saint Haigar."

"When you fully awaken, we will leave the Saint Haigar region and head to the depths of the universe, where there are more Qiyuan beings, to kill, capture, and study them."

"No problem." Andrew thought for a moment and then replied.

"While those Qiyuan beings are still weak, I need to let them know that we Cthulhu beings are not to be trifled with."

For him, Andrew,

his lifespan was already short. If he could survive this time, he would hardly live to see the next arrival of the Qiyuan beings.

Better to die in battle than to die in slumber.

After all, the corpse from which he was born had fallen in battle.

He, Andrew, born from the corpse of a fallen warrior, naturally had the resolve to die in battle.
