392: Heroes Conference

From Chen Hean's brief description, Chen Du knew.

The Seers were not the type of all-knowing intelligence.

The reason they held such a high status Underground was because they possessed two characteristics.

First, they had no sense of pain, which meant they couldn't be tortured to extract information.

Furthermore, the Prophet Alien Race had a strange concept: you must give first, and then they will give you the answer. Otherwise, even killing them is useless; they are incredibly stubborn.

Second was 'Perfect Memory'. It is said that from the first Prophet Alien Race to the present, their memories have never been interrupted.

After each Prophet Civilization died, their memories would be shared with all members of the Prophet Civilization.

This resulted in them having incredibly vast experience, having seen things far beyond other races.

However, after the establishment of the Prophet Circle, they spent most of their time inside the Circle, rarely going out. This was one of the reasons they didn't know about the Egg God.

However, this doesn't necessarily mean the Egg God is a recent product. Perhaps the Egg God didn't originally possess the function of equivalent exchange.

Because Cao Daba's description was incomplete; to ensure his own value, he only told Chen Du some basic information about the Egg God.

Although the Prophet Civilization's military strength was not strong, they were not invaded by other Other-races because many super powerhouses Underground were their students when they were young.

Many of these super powerhouses are now Domain Warriors, so naturally, no one dares to touch them.

Due to their Perfect Memory, the Prophet Civilization understood human nature and history, clearly knowing how to use their abilities to best ensure their continuation.

If you can't become a top combatant, then let top combatants protect you!

...December 8th, 8:25 AM

Five days passed quickly. Along the way, Chen Du used his golden shovel to combine 5 more light red secret relics.

The Prophet Circle was not in some desolate place; on the contrary, it was quite prosperous.

Naturally, Chen Du encountered many Other-races on the way. To avoid conflict, he used the image of Wu La of the Shushu Other-race.

There was no particular reason; the Shushu Civilization stayed in a small area near the Egg God in the Gloomy Land their entire lives. No one here would recognize Wu La, making it the least likely to expose him.

As for the strength issue, after Awakening the Ninth Mystic Treasure, the Seventh Secret Treasure's shapeshifting ability also received an upgrade.

Chen Du's previous transformations required his Rank to be the same as the target, and he couldn't exert power beyond that Rank.

Now, his transformation allows him to 'choose the Rank'.

He can choose the same Rank as the original, or he can choose his current Rank.

If he chooses the same Rank as the original, then all rules remain the same.

If he chooses his own Rank, no matter what Chen Du transforms into, his strength will have a 'basic limit value'.

As long as the power he uses does not exceed the basic limit value, Chen Du will not be forced to revert from his shapeshifting transformation.

This basic limit value is 50%.

No matter what Chen Du transforms into now, he can exert 50% of his basic strength.

Here, basic strength refers to the most primitive power of body, mind, and skill combined.

Any Mystic Treasure abilities cannot be used; once used, the transformation will be dispelled. However, the basic strength amplification of the Mystic Treasure is not affected.

Although he can only exert 50%, for Chen Du, it was already quite enough.

Chen Du's current Rank is 18.

The corresponding strength is 1.235 million jin, and half of that is 617,500 jin.

This morning, Chen Du had entered the Crystal Space once. Although Vice Chen Du did not pass the 20th wave, he passed the 19th wave, and his Mental Energy reached Rank 25.7.

His Martial Skill level also increased by 1%, becoming Entrance to the Microscopic 23%.

Even with a 50% discount, this strength is still terrifying. Underground, there are definitely not many who can defeat Chen Du below Skysoaring.

Perhaps Wu La looked relatively easy to bully. Along the way, Chen Du encountered several heedless Other-races, but unfortunately, he killed them all with a single blow.

Chen Du had never thrown away the Shushu Other-race's spiked club. Otherwise, he would have to disguise himself as another Other-race, because even though no one recognized the Shushu Other-race, Chen Du himself needed an external weapon as a medium.

Although it wasn't a sword, his current Martial Skill level meant that not using a sword had limited impact on his strength.

However, these guys also brought Chen Du new information.

That is, the Prophet Civilization was holding a competition called the 'Heroes Assembly'.

If one could enter the top three, they could ask the Prophet Civilization a question they could answer, without any cost.

"Heroes Assembly?"

Chen Du muttered to himself.

From the information these guys provided, Chen Du learned that the Heroes Assembly was not the first; it was held every three years and had already been held over a hundred times.

The main purpose of this competition was to see which of the students taught by the Prophet Alien Race was the strongest.

Initially, this competition did not have outsiders participating, but later it was deemed too uninteresting, so the conditions were relaxed, allowing everyone to participate.

However, this competition also had restrictions: participants must be below the Sky Soaring Warrior Rank.

There were two reasons for this rule: first, after advancing to Sky Soaring Warrior, one generally graduated and was no longer considered a student.

Second, battles below the Sky Soaring Warrior Rank were easier to control in terms of damage.

This was a competition, not a slaughter; stopping at the right moment was sufficient.

In previous years, over 90% of the top three were students taught by the Prophet Alien Race, but this did not prevent everyone from eagerly participating.

Registration was free, and even Rank 10 Martial Artists went to experience it.

There was also no need to worry about dramatic situations like being unable to leave alive after defeating a Genius taught by a Seer. The Prophet Circle had a 'No-Killing Order'.

This No-Killing Order was jointly issued by multiple Domain Warriors, and no Other-race had ever dared to cause trouble within the Prophet Circle.

In fact, due to the Prophet Civilization's status, there were very few Other-races fighting and killing even outside the Prophet Circle.

In other words, the Prophet Circle was the only place where all Other-races in this 100,000-meter Underground area could "live in harmony."

Because it was a competition for those below Sky Soaring Warrior, it was considered a form of entertainment. Its main purpose was to enhance the Prophet Civilization's reputation, and no one would target you if you won.

This reassured Chen Du considerably.

Another two and a half hours passed, bringing the time to December 8th, 10:55 AM. Chen Du successfully arrived at the Prophet Circle.

Due to different aesthetics, Chen Du couldn't tell how prosperous it was from the architecture, but he could say there were quite a few Other-races here.

However, these were not Seer Alien Races; they didn't like living with other Other-races, but they also couldn't be completely independent.

This was just the outer perimeter of the Prophet Circle; the Prophet Alien Races all stayed in the central area, rarely coming out.

Looking at the various-shaped Other-races ahead, Chen Du felt a strange sense of emotion; this was a sight absolutely impossible to see on the Surface.

Due to the No-Killing Order, Chen Du didn't need to overthink. He took a step and entered the outer perimeter of the Prophet Circle... At this moment, outside the Prophet Circle.

At the place where Xiao Fan and Duan Wushuang died, a figure quietly arrived.
