484: 99 sectors

“Hmm? Is this very unbelievable?” Chen Du wondered.

But on the surface, he nodded as usual: “Yes, it’s me.”

“Oh, oh, it’s nothing, you continue.” Zhou Cheng showed a hint of awkwardness, but quickly recovered.

During the Seven Regions Genius Battle, he happened to leave the Seventh Ecological Circle to perform a mission.

Missing Zhou Xiaogu’s 18th birthday was not his intention. As a doting father, he wanted to give Zhou Xiaogu the best gift.

So, at that time, he contacted a few good friends, intending to create some ‘accidents’ so that Zhou Xiaogu could obtain the secret treasure heart as a reward.

Afterward, he did not return to any ecological circle of the High Martial Civilization.

It wasn’t because he couldn’t, but because the Dynasty Civilization allowed him to access a considerable amount of information, and if he left, the information flow would stop.

But he still sent Zhou Xiaogu a letter, telling her that he was not dead.

Yan’s accidental death caused the contact person for Zhou Cheng’s mission to become Rayne.

If he hadn’t met Chen Du today, Zhou Cheng would have always thought that the champion of the Seven Regions Genius Battle was his daughter.

However, seeing Chen Du’s current achievements, Zhou Cheng also felt relieved.

If Chen Du possessed such Aptitude, then the secret treasure heart should indeed be given to him.

The reason for formulating this plan, besides love, was that Zhou Cheng felt that among the Geniuses participating in that batch, Zhou Xiaogu, even if not the most outstanding, was at least tied for first place.

By doing this, he not only satisfied his personal desires but also ensured that the resources of the High Martial Civilization were not wasted by falling into the hands of someone unworthy.

This was also the fundamental reason why his friends were willing to help him.

Now that the die was cast, Zhou Cheng stopped thinking about these past events.

In his subsequent description, Chen Du stated his Mystic Treasure count as nine.

After listening to Chen Du’s narration, Zhou Cheng nodded, full of praise.

Extreme Aptitude, extreme effort, extreme luck.

The three combined created the ultimate Chen Du today!

“Chen Du.” Zhou Cheng said after hearing Chen Du’s past.

“Yi Xin’s child, after you go back, you only need to report it to the Martial Artist Alliance.”

“You can report it to any ecological circle; you don’t have to worry about it yourself.”

“Our Limit Martial Hall deals with enemies outside the ecological circle, while the Martial Artist Alliance protects the safety within the ecological circle.”

“I’m not saying this to stop you from saving her child.”

“I understand your original intention.”

“However, everyone’s abilities are different, so the responsibilities they bear are naturally also different.”

“With your current Aptitude and strength, even if you find the Itera Civilization lurking around her child, what then?”

“You have more valuable things waiting for you to do.”

“Furthermore, the alien races lurking in our Civilization are not just the Itera Civilization; there are those from within the Land of Abandoned Armor and those from outside.”

“There are even traitors from our own Civilization. Can you catch them all?”

“Then are we not going to deal with these alien races?” Chen Du asked.

Zhou Cheng shook his head: “No, we are dealing with them, we are all dealing with them, or rather, each of us is protecting the High Martial Civilization in our own way.”

“It’s just that the weight is different.”

“Weight?”

“Yes.”

“You can understand ‘weight’ as a counterweight on a scale. A tiny counterweight, whether added or removed, will not affect the scale.”

“Those spies or traitors.”

“Actually, the people of the Martial Artist Alliance have always been fighting them, but these alien races cannot be completely eliminated.”

“They are like those weightless counterweights; no matter how many you kill, they will not decrease, only continuously be replenished.”

“And what our High Martial Civilization needs is a very heavy counterweight.”

“Heavy enough to completely change the balance of the scale!”

“For example…” Zhou Cheng said this, then smiled slightly as he looked at Chen Du: “You.”

Chen Du did not speak. In the past year, his progress had been too rapid, and the people and scenery around him had changed dramatically.

This led to a change in his thinking and mindset.

Zhou Cheng’s words were very clear: everyone, because of their different abilities, protects Civilization in different ways.

Becoming an overweight counterweight, heavy enough to threaten or even destroy all enemies, this is what Zhou Cheng expects of Chen Du’s future way of protecting the High Martial Civilization.

“I understand.” Chen Du nodded.

“Chen Du.” Zhou Cheng spoke again, his voice carrying some solemnity.

“To be honest, I didn’t expect your Aptitude to be so high.”

“Since that’s the case, I’ll take back what I said earlier. You don’t need to return to the High Martial Civilization; go directly to the Myriad Flowers Sector.”

“If there truly is a resource like the Black Dragon Creation Pool there, it should be of great benefit to you.”

“I will handle the matter of transmitting information myself.”

“I’ve also heard a little about the function of the Black Dragon Creation Pool. Even if it only has the ability to quickly approach the Limit Rank, you should still go.”

The Myriad Flowers Sector was very dangerous, but from Chen Du’s described experiences, Zhou Cheng believed that Chen Du could do it.

His educational philosophy was a bit like Rayne’s, leaning towards being more ruthless.

In terms of Rank, only those who had Awakened Seven Secret Treasures had hope of reaching Rank 30, but it was very difficult to achieve.

Chen Du possessed Nine Secret Treasures, so the probability of him reaching Rank 30 was definitely much higher than with Seven Secret Treasures.

Now that Yan was dead, the High Martial Civilization only had two Domain Warriors left. If Chen Du could arrive earlier, the Civilization’s external pressure would be greatly reduced.

Chen Du also agreed. He had been out for less than two months, far from his expected year or more.

Also, he hadn’t mentioned the secret relic and golden devouring grass in his description to Zhou Cheng earlier, so now was a good time to go to the Myriad Flowers Sector to complete this matter.

Afterward, Zhou Cheng also informed Chen Du about some situations in the Dynasty Civilization, ensuring his trip wasn't in vain.

“All B-Rank contracts?” Chen Du exclaimed. He knew the Dynasty Civilization was a gathering place for Geniuses, but he didn’t expect the requirements to be so high.

The potential of a B-Rank contract was the Aptitude to enter the top classes of the Three Top Academies.

The High Martial Civilization only had 90 students of this Rank each year.

Some years, they couldn’t even fill all the spots.

Doesn’t this mean that anyone from the Dynasty Civilization could be pulled out and possess the potential of a Qilin Class student?

In other words... the entire Civilization consisted of Sky Soaring Warriors!

“It’s a bit less than you imagine.” Zhou Cheng seemed to guess what Chen Du would think and smiled lightly.

“Although it’s an all B-Rank contract standard, in reality, 90% of the alien races who come to the Dynasty Civilization are only at B-Rank level.”

“There are indeed true Geniuses, A-Rank, S-Rank, or even higher, but their numbers are definitely much, much smaller.”

“Additionally, the distribution form of the Dynasty Civilization is also very special.”

“They are scattered, just like the High Martial Civilization, but unlike the High Martial Civilization, which is all concentrated on one Sector, the Dynasty Civilization is distributed across 99 different Sectors!”
