272: Spirit General

That purple beam of light earlier was shot from the Giant's left eye. Chen Du saw it clearly with his 360-degree, dead-angle-free vision.

The Giant behind him had no relation to the Giant Civilization on Blue Star. First, in appearance, he didn't belong to any of the nine great Giants.

Secondly, in height, the Six-Eyed Giant's height exceeded a thousand meters. Chen Du, with his 1.83-meter height, wasn't even as tall as its toenail!

The Void Immortal Contemplation Method was a reward given by the Crystal Space after Chen Du passed the fifth wave of monsters.

Besides the reward of his Mental Energy Rank increasing by 1 Rank for each wave of monsters he passed, the Void Immortal Contemplation Method was Chen Du's first major reward.

Initially, it could still help improve Mental Energy and temper willpower, but as Chen Du passed more waves of monsters,

his Mental Energy Rank had already far exceeded his current Life Strength Rank, which meant his Mental Energy could almost only be increased through the Crystal Space's mechanism.

After all, with such a high Rank, his own Aptitude or the tempering from the Void Immortal Contemplation Method could not provide any substantial improvement.

Because it was the first major reward, Chen Du thought its power wasn't that high and it only had some effect in the early stages.

Later, after arriving in the First Ecological Zone, the role of the Void Immortal Contemplation Method was no longer to enhance Mental Energy or temper willpower, but to help him sleep better!

Chen Du never expected that, besides this, there was also a passively triggered protection mechanism!

However, upon closer thought, it seemed understandable. This thing had existed in his consciousness since the day he obtained it.

Now it seemed, this was a form of protection!

Protecting his consciousness from being invaded!

It seemed that every reward the Crystal Space gave him was extraordinary.

The reward from the 5th wave, the Void Immortal Contemplation Method, went from initially tempering Mental Energy and willpower, to later being developed into a miraculous sleep aid, and finally becoming a guardian protecting his consciousness.

The reward from the 10th wave, the Life Goddesss Favor, could continuously raise the upper limit of his Life Strength Aptitude, with no known limit.

The situation, which was very dangerous just a few seconds ago, suddenly became less dangerous, which made Chen Du's heart stir with anticipation for the 15th wave's reward.

However, his current combat power was still a bit short of passing the 15th wave, but once he reached Rank 15, it would be enough!

At that time, he would see if the 15th wave's reward was as astonishing as the 5th and 10th waves.

The next second.

A golden beam of light suddenly burst from the Six-Eyed Giant's right eye, shooting towards Cao Daba, and at the moment it hit the target,

Cao Daba's body, which was an irregular droplet that had shrunk a bit, was enclosed within a four-sided, glass-like container.

And the appearance of this scene seemed to awaken some memory in him.

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

"How can there be a projection of a System Star 'Spirit General' in your consciousness!"

"Those twelve Spirit Generals can never leave System Star for a single step. They will not allow any of their power to appear outside, even if it's just a projection!"

"Even if you are the highest-Rank 'Heaven-Grade' personal System binder, it's impossible for there to be a Spirit General's projection protecting your consciousness!"

Cao Daba suddenly spoke, his voice filled with unconcealable disbelief!

As his voice fell, the entire glass container suddenly flew up. Chen Du turned his head to follow the sight, realizing that the Six-Eyed Giant had flown away, taking the glass container with him.

"Wait, why did I turn my head?"

Chen Du suddenly noticed at this moment that, at some point, his 360-degree vision ability had disappeared.

His disappeared body also reappeared; he could now see his hands and feet.

"Did it recover when Cao Daba was imprisoned just now?"

"That is to say, the previous state was caused by the opponent's Possession ability, forcing the two to engage in a 1v1 contest."

Chen Du looked down at his hands and murmured, summarizing that previous state as the Possession state.

The Six-Eyed Giant's actions earlier were not controlled by him; Chen Du himself didn't even know this scene would happen.

Overall, this Six-Eyed Giant was like a passively triggered program. It would appear and imprison the enemy when an enemy invaded his consciousness and caused harm.

Also, several terms Cao Daba mentioned earlier caught Chen Du's attention.

"System Star?"

"Personal System binder?"

"Spirit General?"

Chen Du stood in place, muttering to himself, "Is there really such a ridiculous thing as a personal System in this world?"

"Does that deep blue stat-adding really exist in reality?"

Although he heard it with his own ears, Chen Du was still somewhat skeptical.

After all, this System thing was too far removed from reality.

Those Old Grandpas in rings, Systems, Transmigration, Rebirth, and so on in novels were just for mindless entertainment; how could they really exist in reality?

Or... was the System he spoke of different from the 'ding' sound System in novels that he understood?

Were these Systems actually a race?

Similar to humans in a High Martial Civilization, he mentioned System Star, so it should be a race.

For example, humans in a High Martial Civilization would also call themselves Blue Star people. So-called System Star, is it the home of System Star people?

And the so-called Heaven-Grade, should it refer to Aptitude?

Also, what exactly did the Spirit General he spoke of refer to?

If there really is a System, does the Crystal Space count?

Cao Daba's appearance suddenly brought countless questions to Chen Du's mind; he had to go see the other party.

No sooner said than done, Chen Du directly moved to the location of the Void Immortal Contemplation Method. The reason Chen Du felt this place was both familiar and strange before was because it was his own consciousness.

It's just that he always appeared directly at the location of the Void Immortal Contemplation Method in his consciousness, and then honed his Mental Energy by staring at the Giant there.

Upon entering, the Giant was still standing there as usual. Chen Du knew that as long as he didn't look into its eyes, nothing would happen.

Chen Du quickly discovered that Cao Daba, who was trapped in the glass container, was now hanging on a cliff like a work of art.

Seeing this, Chen Du flew to the other party without hesitation.

Cao Daba's face, devoid of features, looked solemnly at Chen Du, seemingly already knowing the other party would come. Instead of fear, he spoke first:

"Who exactly are you!"

"You are definitely not from this planet. A planet of this Rank cannot give birth to natives capable of breaking through the Lingkong Barrier!"

"I don't know what you're talking about. Compared to me, aren't you the one not from this planet?"

"If I'm not mistaken, the strange alien race that fought with the three former Overlord-level Civilizations a few hundred years ago, was it you, or rather, you so-called Energy Lifeforms?"

Combining Cao Daba's words just now with what Shi Dingtian and Xing Jina said earlier, it was not difficult to deduce this conclusion, though the specific reasons were certainly unknown.

"Hmph!"

"So what if it is? So what if it isn't?"

"Aren't you also hiding on this planet for that thing?"
