431: The Fall of Blue Crystal

According to the competition process, the reward of a Question Chamber session was to be issued and executed immediately after the top three were determined.

However, at that time, the contestants were in the midst of fierce competition, and it was impossible to interrupt them. Furthermore, both the Question Chamber session and the Treasure Card had no time limits.

Therefore, this reward would be issued after the competition concluded.

Neither the Question Chamber session nor the Treasure Card could be sold; they had to be used in person. All previous top three winners of the Heroes Assembly had their names recorded by staff and submitted to the Prophet Civilization.

The Question Chamber is located at the junction of the outer and core areas of the Prophet Circle.

The core area is naturally where the Prophet Civilization lives. Due to their preference for solitude, very few Alien Races are granted access.

It is Alien Race, not Civilization. Apart from the Prophet Civilization, no other Civilization can freely enter and exit the core area of the Prophet Circle.

Chen Du found the relevant staff here and presented his Question Chamber session.

The staff outside the Question Chamber were not Prophet Alien Race. In fact, almost all staff in the Prophet Circle were not Prophet Alien Race. They were more like contractors working for the Prophet Civilization.

If one needed to contact a Prophet Alien Race staff member, they would have to go through these contracted staff.

Generally speaking, unless there were special circumstances, it was impossible to meet them.

Although Chen Du no longer had the status of a contestant, the Question Chamber session still granted him priority.

Thus, Chen Du was arranged to wait at the entrance of Question Chamber No. 666. As soon as the person before him entered, Chen Du became the next in line.

Having obtained priority twice for the Question Chamber, Chen Du was undoubtedly lucky. According to the staff, some people even waited a full year to get an appointment!

After waiting for about an hour, the door to Question Chamber No. 666 opened from the inside.

This was Chen Du's second time, so he wasn't completely familiar with the process, but he knew the rules.

He went straight to the point without any pleasantries.

"Is there a unique blue crystal, two meters tall, in this world?"

Chen Du wasn't worried that the other party would only answer "yes," because the Prophet's answers would not intentionally mislead him.

If the answer to this question was no, then the item didn't exist, and the Prophet naturally wouldn't know about it. The moment the other party said, "I know the answer," it meant the answer was "yes."

Following this, the Prophet, adhering to the non-deceptive principle, would naturally provide some relevant information about the item.

A characteristic of the Prophet Civilization is that upon death, all Prophet Alien Race within the entire Civilization gain access to all of the deceased's memories from their lifetime.

Regardless of which Question Chamber one visited, they could find the answer; it wasn't strictly necessary to go to the previous Question Chamber No. 1172.

This terrifying sharing mechanism of the Prophet Civilization destined them to grow stronger and stronger with the passage of time.

However, Heaven is perfect, and ultimately, there is no perfect life.

The Prophet Civilization's talents in body, mind, and technique were all very ordinary. This "ordinary" evaluation was even based on the standards of the Underground Alien Race.

Therefore, it was very difficult for them to become Sky Soaring Martial Artists. As for whether the Prophet Civilization had Domain Martial Artists, Chen Du did not know.

It could only be said that Heaven gave the Prophet Civilization the theoretical knowledge to become stronger, but did not give them a body with significant growth potential.

Precisely because of this, their way of survival was to use their knowledge to seek the protection of Domain Martial Artists from other Civilizations.

"I know the answer."

"The price is, I need the address of the Black Dragon Creation Pool."

The expected answer came from the other party's mouth.

Chen Du had heard this answer once before from Prophet Number 1172.

"I will use the Question Chamber session to offset this price."

With that, Chen Du handed the Question Chamber session to the other party.

Oracle No. 666 took the Question Chamber session, his white pupils gazing at it, emitting a faint blue light, as if confirming something.

"So it's the champion of this Heroes Assembly."

Oracle No. 666 muttered to himself, then said:

"The item you wish to know about is in the forbidden zone within the Primordial Mine, in the Taiji Bahuang Territory."

The forbidden zone within the Primordial Mine?

Chen Du had previously received some information about the Primordial Mine's forbidden zone from Xiao Fan of the Dire Wolf Civilization. It was a place where no living creature had ever come out alive after entering.

"Is that all?"

"Is there nothing more specific?"

Oracle No. 666 glanced at Chen Du and slowly said:

"When you received the Question Chamber session and the Treasure Card, someone should have told you that the Treasure Card can be exchanged for one resource at the Martial Artist stage."

"Similarly, the Question Chamber session is the same, except that the Question Chamber session cannot specifically distinguish the value of the Martial Artist stage."

"If you ask me about some abilities, or characteristic rules, of the Skysoar Martial Artist stage, I can tell you. I can even tell you the conditions for advancing to a Domain Martial Artist."

"But the information value of your question exceeds the value of the Martial Artist stage, so I can only tell you this much."

"You have to understand, if the Question Chamber session could fully offset the cost, those Civilizations outside could directly find the top three of each Heroes Assembly and, at a lower cost, have these top three ask the questions they want to know."

"Haven't you noticed that no one has approached you for such a transaction?"

"The Question Chamber session has no time limit and requires personal presence, but for the question itself, who asks it doesn't matter?"

So that's how it is.

Chen Du had only thought about asking and leaving, and hadn't really considered these things. Now it seemed that the limit of the Martial Artist stage's value was confirming the existence of the blue crystal and providing a relatively specific location.

As for the specific route, he definitely couldn't afford that price.

And Chen Du could confirm that the Prophet Civilization knew the exact location of the blue crystal!

Although no creature that entered the forbidden zone within the Primordial Mine had ever come out alive, if just one Prophet Alien Race entered, found or confirmed the location of the blue crystal, and then died,

Then the Alien Race of the Prophet Civilization would collectively know what happened in the forbidden zone!

So they must know exactly what is inside the forbidden zone and why no life has ever come out of it after entering.

"That crystal has always been there. If you want to know the specific route, I suggest you give up."

Oracle No. 666, seeing Chen Du remain silent, added a sentence.

In his opinion, Chen Du was very interested in this item, but for the sake of reputation, he still offered the warning.

The reputation here actually refers to feedback. If the Prophet's answers were always full of traps, their reputation would have been ruined long ago.

Taking Chen Du's question as an example, if I tell you the specific route to find the blue crystal, but don't tell you the danger level of that route, then that's a trap.

On the Surface, you perfectly answered the questioner's query, but you didn't avoid potential dangers.

In short, it's all about long-term sustainability.

After all, in this world dominated by martial power, Alien Races with insufficient Innate martial power must find their own way of survival.

What Oracle No. 666 didn't know was that the casual remark he added caused a huge shock in Chen Du's heart!

What does "That crystal has always been there" mean?

Doesn't this imply that the blue crystal Cao Daba saw, the blue crystal recorded in flying sword no. 4396's diary, and this blue crystal Underground are not the same?

Because the blue crystals mentioned by Cao Daba and flying sword no. 4396 were all on the Surface!

But the blue crystal in the Prophet's mouth was Underground!

And it also said "always there," meaning it had never left.

Thus, this means that the blue crystals mentioned by the former and the latter are not the same thing.

Are there really so many magical blue crystals in this world?

Adding the one in his own Crystal Space, and even thinking bigger, what if the blue crystals mentioned by Cao Daba and flying sword no. 4396 are also not consistent?

Wouldn't that mean there are four blue crystals?
