445: main character

It was not that Chen Du was arrogant; there was factual evidence for it.

As a Prophets Student, if Shi Fan could say that the Ten Secret Treasures were a scam, then one could generally conclude that the Ten Secret Treasures were not something a normal person could achieve.

Or strictly speaking, it was not something a human could achieve.

Those who could do it could only be "non-humans."

Otherwise, for so many years, one would never have heard of any alien race from any civilization achieving the Ten Secret Treasures.

Regarding the Ten Secret Treasures, Chen Du had not thought much about it at first, simply assuming that the High Martial Civilization had a narrow perspective and limited experience, having never encountered or heard of it.

Now it seemed that was not the case. If it were not for the mechanism of the Crystal Space evolving every 6 Ranks, he would not have been able to achieve the Awakening of his first Mystic Treasure at the Quasi-Warrior stage.

According to Shi Fan, the limit for the number of Mystic Treasures that could be Awakened at the Martial Artist stage was nine.

And this Mystic Treasure that he had Awakened at the Quasi-Warrior stage perfectly bypassed this mechanism, allowing Chen Du to complete the legendary Ten Secret Treasures.

Fortunately, Chen Du had not told anyone about Awakening a Mystic Treasure at the Quasi-Warrior stage.

If he had said it, perhaps nothing would have happened, and things would be the same as they were now, but there was another possibility.

The High Martial Civilization would have been destroyed by now!

Looking at the current situation, Chen Du believed this was the best outcome.

His relatively cautious personality might have caused him to lose some resources, but it had increased his probability of survival.

"If I am the only one in this world with the Ten Secret Treasures..."

Chen Du murmured, and at this moment, a word could not help but come to mind.

Protagonist.

Because only a protagonist could possibly achieve things that others could not, or perhaps the existence of this matter was itself waiting for his appearance.

It was like certain job postings where the hiring requirements were just short of writing out that specific identification number.

Uniqueness was a characteristic that only a protagonist had.

However, Chen Du soon shook his head.

What kind of bullshit protagonist could there be in this world?

A protagonist was merely an identity.

Just like the opposite of a protagonist.

A villain.

Does a villain know that they are a villain?

They certainly do not know.

A so-called villain is also an identity; ultimately, it is just a label one gives to others based on a different perspective.

Chen Du had also killed many alien races; to those aliens, was he not a villain?

And in Chen Du's eyes, were those Great Civilizations not also villains?

Chen Du believed that there were no so-called protagonists or villains in this world.

If one had to say, a protagonist was simply the person who lived to the end, which also confirmed the saying that history is written by the victors.

The appearance of a savior was only for their own civilization; they were a protagonist and a savior, but to other civilizations, they were a disaster and a demon.

Logic, reason, right and wrong, etc.—all of these had to be built on the foundation of the civilization being able to continue.

If the civilization were destroyed, these would naturally no longer exist.

The three T5-level Great Civilizations outside the High Martial Civilization, as well as other Great Civilizations, were ticking time bombs to Chen Du.

Whether the High Martial Civilization would be destroyed, and when it would be destroyed, depended entirely on their mood.

Chen Du wanted to destroy them; it had nothing to do with good or evil, he simply wanted to survive.

Who would be willing to sleep every day while holding a ticking time bomb?

Especially after Awakening the Ten Secret Treasures, this emotion was particularly intense.

In the past, Chen Du had also said that for the safety of the High Martial Civilization, he would destroy the Hunter Civilization, the Big Eye Civilization, and the Giant Civilization, which was the strongest of the three.

Although those words were firm back then, that firmness felt more like the spirited determination of a youth, a kind of inexplicable confidence.

It was without any basis, having a feeling that if one's belief was strong, the person would be strong.

But now it was different; the current Chen Du really had hope of achieving it!

The appearance of the Ten Secret Treasures not only improved Chen Du's strength but also increased his sense of civilization destiny.

For example, if a major event happened to the civilization, as an ordinary person, one would just watch it and at most comment a few words; one would not have any profound feelings.

But this time it was different, because he now truly had the ability to change something.

At this moment, he already possessed the prototype of a savior for the High Martial Civilization!

If anyone could save the High Martial Civilization, Chen Du was confident that it could only be his future self!

This was not just boasting; it was seeking truth from facts.

The amplification of Nine Secret Treasures to base strength was 550%, while the Ten Secret Treasures was 890%. Although no one had ever reached it, the amplification rule of the Mystic Treasures was fixed.

Counting his original 100%, in calculation, it was directly multiplied by 990%, almost ten times the base strength!

However, this was not the most terrifying part. The most terrifying part was that if the enemy did not have the Ten Secret Treasures, then in the composition of power, they would always be missing a part compared to Chen Du.

And this part of the power was quite significant.

Because the composition of power in this world was very simple: Life Strength Rank, Martial Skill level, number of Mystic Treasures, and various messy abilities, including Mental Energy.

If the number of Mystic Treasures could not match Chen Du, then the opponent would lose this part of the amplification and could only rely on Martial Skills, Mental Energy, and various messy abilities to make up for the gap.

But the problem was that Chen Du's Martial Skill level, Mental Energy, and even his various messy abilities were all at an extremely high level.

This meant that the only thing that could kill him was a Rank suppression!

Invincible at the same Rank; Chen Du was confident that he was currently at this level. Even if the most Genius 19th-Rank Advanced Martial Artist from an Overlord-level Civilization came over, he would not be afraid.

Because in terms of power composition, the opponent did not have any angle that could surpass him.

However, being invincible at the same Rank did not mean that Chen Du could definitely overthrow the rule of the Great Civilizations.

Just like the Ten Secret Treasures, a Small Civilization defeating a Great Civilization was also something that had never happened before!

"Can I... do it?"

Chen Du muttered to himself, then shook his head again. He stopped letting his mind wander because he had reached the Ten Secret Treasures and reset his mindset.

A humble and brave Genius was the correct attitude he needed to possess.

Destroying the Great Civilizations was still too early for him, who was only at Rank 19. Now, ensuring that he developed well and did not die prematurely was the priority.

Immediately, he lowered his head to check the time.

It was now the high martial calendar: Year 863, December 19th, 14:30.

Afterward, he focused his gaze on the panel in his mind.

The voice broadcast in his mind would only notify him of news regarding Body, Mind, and Technique; the increase in Mystic Treasures was not within the scope of the broadcast.

But not being notified did not mean Chen Du did not know; after all, normal people did not have this kind of real-time information update prompt.

It was only because of the panel that Chen Du had developed the habit of checking the panel first for everything.
