In Penacony, Pei Guang had already obtained the recognition of more than ten percent of the life forms, thus gaining a special policy slot where he could write his own policies.
[Policy 1: All units resurrect immediately after death]
[All dead units can choose to resurrect near friendly units. If there are no friendly units, they will resurrect at the spawn point. All statuses are reset after death.]
Previously, it was precisely by utilizing this policy that Pei Guang and Stelle disgusted the Dreammaster to the point of vomiting through death and resurrection.
But it was also precisely this policy that allowed the Dreammaster and the Oak Family members to survive.
Propagation did devour these people, but at the last moment, the Dreammaster accepted Pei Guang's invitation.
Although their ideologies were at odds, he wanted to fight alongside Pei Guang and the Trailblazers against this swarm that was thrown in by some wicked person or born from an accident.
Whether he agreed verbally or internally, the moment he agreed, the Dreammaster and all Oak Family members became Pei Guang's friendly forces.
Although this policy only worked in the dream, here was the catch: the location they were currently in was the dreamscape.
Regardless of whether the dreamscape eroded reality or what, according to the characteristics right now, the Dreammaster and the Oak Family members were in the dreamscape.
As long as this policy slot still existed and Pei Guang didn't change it, then the Dreammaster and all Oak Family members, who had temporarily become friendly forces, could resurrect.
Don't ask how it was done: the code was written that way.
Robin didn't know about these many characteristics for the time being, but her experiences in the dreamscape and some experiences in reality made her understand that Pei Guang was the kind of person who delivered on what he said.
Upon hearing that the Oak Family members were all fine, she jumped up in excitement and hugged Pei Guang.
"Thank you! Really, thank you..."
Pei Guang: "Why thank me? I don't want anything to happen to my teammates within my territory either. Moreover..."
Pei Guang looked at the insect eggs about to hatch, his eyes narrowing.
In the dream world, Pei Guang had studied the Propagation Aeon and Their offspring intensively.
Relying on his own swarm in the dreamscape, Pei Guang knew how disgusting these swarms were. But disgusting as they were, Pei Guang was certain it was very difficult for them to be born directly through another Path.
Yes, difficult, but not impossible.
According to Pei Guang's understanding of Paths, if the Propagation Path could pollute other Paths, and the polluted Path gave birth to new life through its own power, theoretically, it could give birth to Propagation.
Because the memetic pollution of Propagation could pollute the concept of the birth of all life.
As long as it was polluted, theoretically, it could work.
Other methods? There were some too. It was also possible that Aha felt there wasn't enough amusement, so He got a part of the Propagation Aeon and stuffed it in when the Dreammaster transformed.
If it were Aha, then there would be absolutely no problem, because Aha could really do such a thing…
Anyway, it didn't matter who did it. What mattered was that there really was Propagation here.
If Propagation could give birth to a Propagation swarm, it could only prove that the Order back then had already been polluted by Propagation, and this time the Dreammaster accidentally activated Propagation's characteristics, leading to Propagation being reborn using Order.
As for what kind of thing was born? Pei Guang didn't know.
Anyway, judging by the current energy reaction, at worst it would be an Emanator; at best, an Aeon wasn't impossible.
But no matter what it was, it wasn't something the current him could defeat.
Fortunately, there were many Emanators in Penacony. As long as it wasn't an Aeon, they could fight.
Worst case scenario, he would call the Xianzhou Luofu for help.
An Aeon? Then there was even less to fear!
If the Propagation Aeon really appeared, Qlipoth would probably be the first to grab Their hammer and smash the Propagation Aeon to pieces again.
While Pei Guang was thinking, True Stings crawled out of these insect eggs one after another. These True Stings gathered around the largest fetus, waiting for their consciousness, their King, to be born.
They were only guarding, not actively attacking. But while guarding, they were devouring the power in the 'placenta'.
The power of Order became their meal, allowing them to grow continuously.
Himeko also noticed the speed at which the Propagation swarm was changing. She suggested to Pei Guang: "How about we retreat to a safe area first? Seek help from others? These bugs are no longer something we can handle..."
Pei Guang nodded: "Go! Let's retreat!"
The people on the scene held each other's hands in tacit understanding.
In the blink of an eye, the group instantly returned to the Reverie Hotel.
Inside the Reverie Hotel, Acheron looked at the group that suddenly returned, her tone changing: "What happened? Why do I sense..."
Pei Guang: "I'll tell you something true, don't be afraid. Propagation was born from the fetus of Order!"
Acheron: "?"
Acheron took a deep breath.
She had thought of many possibilities in Penacony, but she had never thought of the possibility Pei Guang mentioned.
How did this happen? Did the Elation God feel Penacony wasn't amusing enough, so He stuffed the severed limbs of the Propagation Aeon in to revive Propagation? Or were there really swarms lurking in Penacony?
Acheron thought the former was more likely.
Pei Guang, this special existence, was worth the Aeon of Elatuin doing something.
But there was also a possibility that it was Pei Guang's ability that distorted Order, allowing Propagation to be born here.
The reason wasn't important anymore. The most important question now was how to stop the birth of the Propagation swarm.
If these guys really appeared in Penacony, they would endanger not just Penacony, but even the surrounding star systems would be polluted.
Acheron fell into deep thought.
After pondering for a while, she turned her gaze to Pei Guang: "What do you need me to do?"
The power of Nihility was very strong. She sensed the strength of the Propagation power for a moment and was certain that in a full-power state, she could drag the swarm entirely into Nihility at the cost of her completely returning to Nihility.
But the cost of doing so was that the entire Penacony, and even the entire star system, would completely return to Nihility.
Doing so could indeed prevent more worlds from being eroded by Propagation, but unless absolutely necessary, she didn't want to do this, because there was still hope for Penacony.
Pei Guang: "I've actually thought of a method here, but I need the people of Penacony to help out~"
Pei Guang looked at his system.
After he stopped his conquest, the group of people he dragged into becoming Helldivers really hadn't been idle, constantly fighting in the dreamscape for freedom, the people, and everyone's happiness.
Moreover, this group of people was having a blast in the dreamscape. While having fun, they also pulled more people under his banner.
Currently, the recognition had reached eighteen percent. As long as it exceeded twenty percent, Pei Guang could add another policy.
Pei Guang had already decided what policy to add for Penacony.
[Breeding activities by life forms are prohibited in public places]
