325: Unexpected name

Chen Du was somewhat stunned when he saw the Big Eye Civilization being condensed.

The Myriad Flowers Civilization before made some sense, after all, they were plant life and most possessed the ability to burrow.

But how could the Big Eye Civilization appear here?

They have always specialized in Mental Energy, and it has never been heard that any Big Eye Civilization would go underground, firstly because their natural abilities couldn't achieve it.

Secondly, even if they Awakened the corresponding abilities, the Big Eye Civilization didn't like the underground; they just disliked dazzling sunlight, not the pitch-black darkness where one couldn't see their hand in front of their face.

At this moment, Chen Du thought of two possibilities.

One, the tombstones here were not challengers, but rather AI bots arranged by a computer.

Two, there were many entrances to the Land of Finality.

After a little thought, Chen Du ruled out the first possibility; his own tombstone being ranked among the top based on his challenge results was the best proof.

Based on this, these were the top ten thousand Martial Artist challengers accumulated over an unknown period, so this conclusion was still flawless.

If it was the second possibility, then it proved that the entrance to the Land of Finality was not only underground, but also on the Surface!

Moreover, there might be multiple entrances, and even the forms of entry might not be the same.

Although these were all Chen Du's guesses and he couldn't say they were definitely correct, they should be within the margin of error.

He couldn't say for sure about other things, but the possibility of an entrance to the Land of Finality on the Surface was very high.

Although there was no evidence, everything in the world has its logic; there is no such thing as something appearing out of nowhere.

"Defeat me, and you shall receive a reward!"

The unchanging opening line appeared again, but this time Chen Du didn't stand still and wait; instead, he made the first move.

Chen Du had a premonition that this opponent would be difficult to deal with, so he decided to take the initiative and seize the upper hand.

The Big Eye Civilization's image was a huge head plus eight legs.

The Big Eye Alien's main weapons were only its legs, not its head. In normal combat, their large heads would usually release at least two Mental Energy Martial Skills to interfere with opponents, making them extremely difficult to deal with.

If there were no corresponding countermeasures, the Big Eye Civilization was very strong in 1v1 combat.

Now, due to the suppression of the Land of Finality's rules, both of them had a Life Strength of Rank 15.1.

However, this Seal, for the purpose of this battle, actually protected this Big Eye Alien, otherwise Chen Du's Mels Reflection would be too effective against such an Alien known for its Mental Energy.

Especially Big Eye Aliens who haven't reached the Sky Soaring Warrior stage; their Mental Energy cannot exceed Rank 19.9, and Mental Attacks would be 100% reflected back by Chen Du.

This Big Eye Alien was twice Chen Du's height, approximately 3.6 meters. Under the moonlight and the countless tombstones, its massive head appeared particularly terrifying.

With a "clank," Chen Du's sword strike aimed at the opponent's head was blocked by two of its long legs, which it had raised.

Subsequently, the long sword and the eight long legs clashed, and Chen Du thus judged the opponent's strength.

This Big Eye Alien's Martial Skill level was actually the same as his, both at Entrance to the Microscopic 18%, and even the number of Mystic Treasures was the same, also Seven Secret Treasures.

To have such a configuration at a Life Strength Rank of 17, this Big Eye Alien was definitely a super Genius within the Big Eye Civilization!

If the 3000th place was at this level... then it meant that moving forward from here, the owner of every tombstone possessed the Aptitude to become a Domain Warrior!

Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!

The sound of metal clashing echoed continuously in the Land of Finality; the strength of the two was completely identical, making it impossible to predict who the winner would be.

Battles in the Land of Finality, except for the fact that tombstones cannot be destroyed, were just like normal places in every other aspect.

However, after the battle ended, the shattered floor and other elements would recover like a flattened sponge.

This design also allowed both parties to fully exert themselves without any reservations, wholeheartedly immersing themselves in the clash of Martial Skills.

Although Chen Du and Valkis were perfectly matched in strength, there was still a difference.

Chen Du's combat experience far surpassed his opponent's.

The countless battles in the Crystal Space were not fought in vain, especially the disadvantageous and evenly matched situations, which Chen Du had experienced the most.

Although Chen Du no longer needed to enter the Crystal Space to battle, all the achievements, such as combat experience and insights, of Vice Chen Du would be gained the moment he entered to alternate.

The Big Eye Alien's weakness was its head; Chen Du had seen this from Hamon's previous battles.

Thinking of Hamon, Chen Du didn't know whether he was alive or dead at the moment, and there had been no news of him in any subsequent ecosystem.

Although they hadn't known each other for long, Chen Du had a very good impression of him; he was a very serious and responsible Advanced Aerial Warrior.

In the subsequent battle, Chen Du shifted his focus, repeatedly making moves as if to attack the opponent's head, but ultimately attacking its long legs, giving the opponent a false behavioral or psychological hint.

Finally, after an hour and 20 minutes of fierce fighting, after successively cutting off five of Valkis's legs, he feigned a hint and sliced open the opponent's head with a single sword, securing the victory.

[Please select one of the following numbers as your reward for successfully completing this challenge]

[1: Increase Life by 100 years]

[2: Obtain a 'Locking Spear' (a one-time consumable; after speaking the opponent's name, a map will form in your mind, refreshing 60 times per second.

The name will be the same as the life you are thinking of, with no mix-ups, provided the opponent is not dead. The map lasts for one month.)]

[3: Obtain a random Domain Secret Tome. The Secret Tome includes knowledge related to information technology, biotechnology, new energy technology, advanced manufacturing technology, aerospace technology, etc.]

Chen Du was temporarily unable to rule out any of the three options before him; he felt they were all quite good.

For option 1, a Martial Artist generally lives 200 years, a Sky Soaring Warrior 500 years; Chen Du didn't know about Domain Warriors.

The ages here are an average value, equivalent to the normal lifespan of a Rank 15 Advanced Martial Artist and a Rank 25 Sky Soaring Warrior.

A Rank 19 Advanced Martial Artist would naturally live longer than a Rank 10 Martial Artist, but not significantly longer, because they are all at the same life Rank.

For option 2, it's an auxiliary tool, simply put, it's for finding people, but according to the explanation it gave, it can also be used to track a life's whereabouts for a month. Chen Du doesn't need it temporarily, but he will definitely need it in the future.

For option 3, it's a long-term investment that can be given to the Civilization. The value of the Secret Tome should be the greatest among the three, but it requires a very long time to show results.

If even lifespan can be freely increased, could this god of ending truly be an omnipotent existence in the literal sense?

After some thought, Chen Du ultimately chose 2. Lifespan is good, everyone wants to live longer, but he is still very young now.

If he doesn't improve his strength quickly, living an extra hundred years after the High Martial Civilization is destroyed would be meaningless.

The same reasoning applied to giving up 3.

It wasn't that 2 was so good, but rather, relative to 1 and 3, it was the most useful to Chen Du.

Subsequently, Chen Du used the Crystal Space to restore all his essence, Qi, and spirit to their Peak state, preparing for the final challenge.

This time, entering the Crystal Space not only fully restored his stamina but also increased his Martial Skill by 1%, reaching the level of Entrance to the Microscopic 19%.

This made Chen Du more confident about the upcoming challenge, but this time he dared not skip such a large range.

The Big Eye Alien at 3000th place was already evenly matched with his strength, let alone those further ahead.

This challenge in the Land of Finality made Chen Du realize that there were far more Geniuses on Blue Star than he had imagined.

Regarding time, the Big Eye Alien had consumed too much of his time. He now had 58 minutes left until the alarm he set, and 1 hour 34 minutes and 12 seconds remaining from the 3 hours Lu Li had given him.

So, for both safety and due to limited strength, Chen Du decided to simply advance by 1 Rank. Just as Chen Du was about to challenge tombstone number 2999.

His eyes inadvertently were drawn to a tombstone further ahead, tombstone number 2998.

The tombstones all had the same appearance; the only differences were the name and Life Strength Rank.

"That is..."

Chen Du's eyes widened in disbelief. The reason he was drawn to it was because the name on tombstone number 2998 was very familiar to him.

It was the name of the second strongest person in the High Martial Civilization.
