006. Actually, Du Zexi voluntarily to protect Li Aozi's luck. Really, I'm g.

  The incubator was shaped like an hss, covered in ruhe overall structure had no sense of teology, filled with the exquisite aesthetics of a handmade workshop.

  Li Aozi estimated that aside from mithril (titanium alloy), which he could repce, the rest, including the wooden materials, were all magical side products.

  Often, teology has no absolute right —most of the time, materials and enviro determihe dire of a civilization's teology tree development.

  For instance, some civilizations have excellent ierials, like tea leaves, ceramics, bamboo, mulberry leaves, and distinct seasons with diverse terrains. Their teology tree development naturally differs from others, flourishing eically and in trade early on, whether you like it or not.

  The universe is vast, with different civilizations and enviros, using different materials on-site. What seems like natural teology to them might appear as sorcery to the people of Azure Star.

  Iingly, every civilization has developed the 【Destru】 series profession. It shows that indeed, no civilization is not built on sughter and war.

  For Li Aozi, the incubator itself was made of various magical materials and had spell rune effects.

  ——Isn't this exactly the mysterious side product he needed?

  Once he hatched this egg, he could dismahe incubator and install it on the biochemical pool.

  The cultivation fun, previously limited due to raw material issues, would then be avaible, right?

  Li Aozi casually pced the blue-purple void creature egg into the incubator, while leisurely browsing the pyer forums for new jokes from hell to enjoy while waiting for the hatg.

  Half an hour ter, a crisp 'crack' sounded. Li Aozi gnced over and saw a deep cra the void creature egg in the incubator.

  With a rustling noise, a sharp, ied triangur head slowly emerged. It looked between a lizard and a mantis, with serrated teeth delicately tearing the eggshell. Its small but strong body dispyed the posture of a high-level predator in nature. Dark purple exoskeleton armor flowed with azure void energy, and four scar-like crystalline eyes fshed with terrifying golden light.

  Its body structure bined a crocodile and a mantis, with crocodile armor and a long tail, alongside the light posture and sharp scythes of a mantis. Even delicate, petal-like wings bloomed on its back—all indig its identity: a juvenile high-level void predator.

  “A void predator? Seems I got lucky; at least it didn’t turn out to be void steam or something.”

  Just as Li Aozi was about to open the incubator and use gravity to crush the juveo use it for future biochemical beast materials, an ued event occurred.

  Click!

  The void predator vulsed, frantically banging against the incubatss. Its body dried up at an arming rate, its muscles and shell rapidly withering. In the blink of ahe orong predator colpsed, its eyes dimmed, body crumbling into blue-purple crystalline powder.

  What… happened?

  Void creatures have great adaptability, even traces be found on bck hole surfaces, let alone on Azure Star, suitable for biological survival.

  “Hmm?”

  Li Aozi used his mutated vision to quickly spot a small creature crawling slowly within the blue-purple crystals: a tiny, less-than-fingernail-sized strange worm, translut white, wriggling forward, abs residual void energy. As it ed the void crystal powder, its body grew spiky, expanding slightly, its head being pointed, and its tail f a drill-like structure.

  “This doesn’t seem like a void creature.”

  Li Aozi picked it up with gravity, zooming in to see its translut body structure.

  paring it with various remembered creatures, Li Aozi finally identified its true nature:

  “Spirit Maggot.”

  This was quite ued.

  Despite the name 'Spirit Maggot,' it’s like the Holy Roman Empire—not holy, not Roman, nor an empire.

  Spirit Maggots are her spiritual creatures ngots. They are a ic beings, likely existing lohan some narrative-level civilizations.

  However, they shouldn’t be creatures found in the first yer of the Star Abyss—Layer Abyss.

  “Spirit Maggots are a life forms undergoing plete metamorphosis iarry sky, holding a transdent status in variions of the sed yer of the Star Abyss. Especially for Narrative 12 【Temple of Oblivion】, Spirit Maggots are revered as ‘Heaven’s Choseion.’”

  Li Aozi khis creature had a more practical use.

  Spirit Maggots undergo four developmental stages: egg, rva, pupa, and adult. But their geic difference from flies is as vast as that between bananas and humans.

  In the rval stage, they voraciously e high-energy substances, from nuclear radiation to void energy, st it for pupation. When they have enough energy, they burrow into a p’s core, usihermal heat for a long sleep. Their neural nodes and synapses hollow out the p, secreting special particles c every cubic air unit, tinuously sensing and altering the biosphere remotely.

  Upon awakening, the entire p rejuvenates.

  Here, the actual use of Spirit Maggots is evident.

  Acc to Narrative 12 【Temple of Oblivion】’s trag experiment on the Nebu Star of the Jaggda steltion, Spirit Maggots take 20,000 to 30,000 years to mature, being the guardiay of the p.

  This aligns with 【Temple of Oblivion】’s mission: support, discover, and cultivate a civilization’s deity, then ihem to join the holy pantheon, divine assistance for the loy of Narrative 12.

  “This thing is valuable; 【Temple of Oblivion】 would pay a good price for it.”

  Li Aozi pced the Spirit Maggot in a vacuum tainer for safe keeping, smiling pyfully.

  Dealing with lower Star Abyss living beings, especially those valued by 【Temple of Oblivion】, previously required sacrifig strong individuals t them back while enduring curses.

  As a result, Spirit Maggots are often scar the market, highly sought after by magical civilizations for research value. But the biggest bidders are 【Temple of Oblivion】.

  “I realized that since Du Zexi, my luck has improved.”

  Li Aozi hummed a tuhis Spirit Maggot was his first fortune on his path to the os.

  “If I get a Spirit Maggot now, what ood things might happen? Could a game tester e find me and ask me to shoot a promotional video?”

  Li Aozi mumbled.

  Thump thump thump!

  Suddenly, a knock sou the door, and the b guard shouted:

  “Mr. Li Aozi! There are three old people from Frost-Pted outside who say they o see yently.”
