264: Above critical
Land of Burials!?
Simply put, it's a tomb.
Chen Du hadn't expected such explosive information right from the start.
According to Shi Dingtian, this was a Trial Grounds where Great Civilizations honed their Geniuses of corresponding Ranks!
He never thought he'd hear such a different answer from Xing Jina.
It was a good thing he hadn't jumped to conclusions and asked about anything specific; this showed that Great Civilizations indeed knew more than Small Civilizations!
Although these two pieces of information were different, they didn't conflict. Next, Xing Jina shared some rules about the place.
They were exactly as Shi Dingtian had described, with only slight additions.
For example, the entrances and exits of the other three zones were the same as the Low-Risk Zone. Although the routes were different, the end and starting points on a single map were identical.
The 'same' here didn't mean Chen Du could encounter Xu Tian and his group inside; rather, the location after exiting was the same.
If everyone exited through the passage behind the stone plate marked on the leather, they would all emerge in the same place, and vice versa.
Chen Du treated all this known information as if he were hearing it for the first time, not interrupting at all, and quietly waited for what came next.
"Sifang Cave has five entrances. Four of them are connected in a row, corresponding to the strengths of Martial Artist, Advanced Martial Artist, Sky Soaring Warrior, and Advanced Aerial Warrior, respectively."
"As for the fifth entrance... I only know that its corresponding Rank is Domain Warrior!"
"But I don't know its exact location."
Chen Du's expression remained unchanged, but he was slightly surprised. He hadn't expected that besides the Low-Risk Zone, Medium Danger Zone, High Danger Zone, and Super Danger Zone, Sifang Cave actually had a fifth zone!
By this deduction, if Sifang Cave truly held resources, they were probably in this unknown fifth zone!
He just didn't know if this fifth zone required the cooperation of the other four zones to resist or weaken something.
"Sifang Cave is also called the 'Tomb of Kings,' a tomb specifically prepared by three Kings for themselves."
"When Blue Star first existed, there was no concept of Great or Small Civilizations. The three former Overlord-level Civilizations referred to their respective powers as Kings."
"These three Kings are what we now call the Black Dragon Civilization, Sky Phoenix Civilization, and Qilin Civilization."
"At that time, the entire Blue Star was ruled by these three Kings; no one could resist them."
"Then one day, another new force appeared from who knows where. This force was actually able to contend with the three Kings, but unfortunately, it was ultimately defeated and disappeared."
"And Sifang Cave was built after that. The reason I know all this so clearly is because my ancestors were the slaves captured by the three former Overlord-level Civilizations to build Sifang Cave at that time!"
"It was also thanks to that great war that the three Kings were severely weakened in their Origin Qi, and later, the current Great Civilizations rose up and attacked them, finally ending their rule."
"Our Succubus Civilization was also just a Small Civilization at the time, but fortunately, our leaders were excellent and seized the opportunity, developing rapidly to eventually become one of the current Great Civilizations."
Chen Du nodded, his expression unchanged.
This was very important information. The more accurate records of High Martial Civilization began when various Great Civilizations started calling themselves 'Civilizations.'
Furthermore, there was no reason given for why the top three former Overlord-level Civilizations suddenly fell. Now it seemed they had first engaged in a great war with some other race.
This was the first time Chen Du had heard the title 'King.'
That is, the era before civilizations were categorized was called the 'Era of Three Kings.'
According to Xing Jina, at that time, apart from the Three Kings, other civilizations were not called 'Civilizations,' nor did they have specific power system divisions.
And now is the 'Era of Civilizations.'
Currently, Small Civilizations are divided into four Ranks based on strength: Lower, Middle, Upper, and Top.
The Great Civilizations are divided from strongest to weakest, from T0 to T5.
Chen Du didn't know how other Civilizations were divided; this was High Martial Civilization's classification of Great Civilizations. However, due to the nature of interpretive translation, there would be no conflicts in communication between them.
T0 represents the strongest, namely the current three Overlord-level Civilizations: Azure Sky Civilization, Eternal Frost Civilization, and Singer Civilization.
T5 is the weakest, also known as the Sewer-level.
The Succubus Civilization before him, as well as the Hunter Civilization, Big Eye Civilization, and Giant Civilization closest to the Land of Abandoned Armor, belong to the T5 Rank.
The Yun Que Civilization that appeared in the Junior General Group of the Seven Regions Genius Battle in the Seventh Ecological Circle belongs to the T1 Rank.
However, the difference between T5 and T1 here is gradual; only the three T0 Overlord-level Civilizations have a generational lead!
The supercomputer within High Martial Civilization made a rough estimate: if they were to act aggressively, these three Overlord-level Civilizations could unify all territories on Blue Star.
However, the three parties' strengths are quite similar. Any one party attacking another Great Civilization would more or less weaken itself, and these weaknesses would inevitably become opportunities for the other two T0 Civilizations.
It is precisely because of this that a delicate "Century of Peace" has been achieved.
"No, you're lying!"
Chen Du suddenly spoke. This time it wasn't a test, but he had indeed discovered an illogical point.
"If those three former Overlord-level Civilizations had ordered you to do it, then the size of this Land of Burials is very unreasonable."
"It's only five meters high at most, meaning only Humanoid life forms like us or life forms that aren't very large can enter with relative ease."
"For the Qilin Civilization, Sky Phoenix Civilization, and Black Dragon Civilization, this Land of Burials is too small!"
"The size simply doesn't match!"
"I'm not lying!"
Xing Jina was afraid Chen Du would kill her directly. Valuing her life, she quickly said:
"I also don't know why this place is only five meters high."
"But if you bring body parts of the three former Overlord-level Civilizations into a special location and offer them as a sacrifice, you will receive 'Ancestral Gifts'!"
"These gifts will greatly enhance your body, mind, and skill talents, and there's even a chance to learn some 'incredible ability'!"
"Someone from our Succubus Civilization once learned magic after coming out!"
"These are words passed down through generations, and they've never been wrong!"
