489: Star Island

“No need.”

A surprising answer came from Zhou Cheng’s mouth, unexpected by Chen Du.

“The condensation of the third Star Mark only requires the Mystic Treasure’s amplification power to exceed 25 million.”

“However, it needs to be done in a specific environment.”

After Zhou Cheng finished speaking, he turned around and pointed in a direction:

“The very center of this direction is called the Paradise Plate. It is our Blue Star’s largest and most resource-rich Plate.”

“This is a Plate with only Great Civilizations and no Small Civilizations. Its vastness and resource abundance are beyond your imagination.”

“Near the Paradise Plate, there are over a thousand islands floating in the sky, which we call ‘Star Islands’.”

“The reason for this name is that the third and subsequent Star Marks can only be successfully condensed on a Star Island!”

Upon hearing this, Chen Du frowned slightly. Although Zhou Cheng hadn't finished speaking, he could already sense that the Star Island was definitely not a safe place.

And Zhou Cheng’s subsequent words were exactly as Chen Du had thought:

“Star Islands themselves have no resources, but due to their unique geographical location, they occasionally become a foothold for Overlord-level Civilizations, the Azure Sky Civilization!”

“The Azure Sky Civilization defaults Star Islands as their territory.”

“This means that condensing a Star Mark on a Star Island carries the constant risk of encountering the Azure Sky Civilization.”

“Being discovered is equivalent to trespassing on their territory, and the only outcome is death. This applies to all civilizations except for the other two Overlord-level Civilizations.”

“The reason our High Martial Civilization only had Rein condense the third Star Mark isn’t because Rein is more special than the other two.”

“It’s because Yan and Durags provided him with a fallback.”

Zhou Cheng said this, looking at Chen Du with piercing eyes:

“First, you must be a Domain-level Genius of our High Martial Civilization to obtain the specific route to the Star Island and a relatively safe way to access it.”

“This route was left by Yan back then.”

“Yan was also a Domain-level Genius back then. In his later growth, he learned about the Star Island and almost went, but ultimately chose to give up.”

“Because at that time, Yan was already the most talented person in the High Martial Civilization, and the risks and mortality rate of accessing the Star Island were too random.”

“Up there, not only could the Azure Sky Civilization appear randomly, but there was also the possibility of encountering aliens from the other two Overlord-level Civilizations, as well as other Great Civilizations. Whether one could condense a Star Mark alive and return depended heavily on luck.”

“Yan didn't want to gamble on such a thing. If he failed, the entire civilization's situation would become even more difficult.”

“So, Yan chose to give up and did not enter the Star Island.”

“Durags was also a Domain-level Genius. Yan had given him the choice of whether to try once. At that time, Yan was already a Domain Warrior, and the High Martial Civilization had someone to provide a fallback.”

“However, Durags directly refused.”

“His reason was that if the High Martial Civilization only had one Domain Warrior, then Yan’s various actions would be constrained. Therefore, for the High Martial Civilization to have a higher fault tolerance, Durags also did not go to the Star Island.”

“Rein, on the other hand, had the two previous leaders as a fallback, allowing him to go to the Skysoar Island for a higher potential.”

“Durags and Rein are both Seven Secret Treasures.”

“The former lit 7 plus 2, which is 9 Glazed Sky Lanternss, while the latter lit 7 plus 3, which is 10 Glazed Sky Lanternss. Both belong to the Intermediate grade of Domain.”

“It's a pity about Yan. He was an Eight Secret Chambers. If he had gone to the Star Island, he would have had a chance to light 8 plus 3, 11 Glazed Sky Lanternss, reaching an Advanced grade Domain.”

“Unfortunately, at that time, he was the only Domain Warrior in the entire High Martial Civilization, so he chose to play it safe.”

Zhou Cheng said this, looking at Chen Du with a serious expression:

“But you are different, you are a Nine Secret Treasures!”

“Although no one in our High Martial Civilization has ever condensed a fourth Star Mark, a Nine Secret Treasures has never been born either.”

“If you can achieve 9 plus 4, you can light 13 Glazed Sky Lanternss and obtain the highest-grade Domain!”

“And with your talent, there’s a good chance you could raise your Martial Skill level to Ascension 1% before level 31. At that time, you would not only possess a unique Domain ability but also have the highest-grade Domain that no one can block!”

As Zhou Cheng said this, he became slightly agitated, as if he himself had received some great reward.

Chen Du knew he was happy for the High Martial Civilization.

Because his appearance made him see the beautiful future that the High Martial Civilization might have.

In short, the future is promising!

“However, this won’t happen so quickly. You have only condensed the first Star Mark. You can only condense the third after becoming an Advanced Sky Soaring Warrior.”

“Currently, you can first go to the Myriad Flowers Sector to look for the Black Dragon Creation Pool. If you find its location is very dangerous, or it’s already gone, then just come back.”

Zhou Cheng knew Chen Du was exceptionally talented, but he also knew that even the best jade needed polishing. He couldn't just keep him at home because of his talent.

Chen Du nodded.

He would never tell anyone about his Ten Secret Treasures, both for his own safety and for the safety of the High Martial Civilization.

Then, Zhou Cheng told Chen Du about the Star Island and a relatively safe route to the Myriad Flowers Sector.

After speaking, he pointed at the several corpses on the Surface:

“I will dispose of these corpses later. We shouldn’t touch any of their belongings.”

“The reason is also very simple: as someone who joined the Dynasty Civilization, normally, I shouldn’t kill the Roasted Chicken aliens.”

“Because their leader, Yerusalakun, is also a member of the Dynasty Civilization.”

“Although the Dynasty Civilization’s system isn’t that strict, it is still a civilization and cannot be messed with casually.”

“But the most important reason is that Yerusalakun is stronger than me.”

“And, to be frank, generally more valuable items are kept within the civilization. What they can carry out are mostly emergency supplies, so it’s not worth taking.”

“The same applies to the Itera Civilization. Anyway, you’ve already obtained the most precious treasure map.”

“I will subsequently destroy their bodies and belongings completely, leaving no trace.”

Chen Du nodded in agreement.

He had been chased several times in the Underground for taking things, so later, he only took the sublimation fluid he urgently needed from Shi Fan’s belongings and didn't touch anything else.

Moreover, Zhou Cheng’s words made a lot of sense. If they weren't emergency resources, why bring them out?

To be robbed?

Chen Du still had so many secret relics and golden devouring grass seeds and other precious resources on him because in the story he initially told Zhou Cheng, these resources weren't mentioned.

He couldn't suddenly add them in now.

But it didn't matter. When he returned from the Myriad Flowers Sector, there were Great Civilizations there, and they could take all the blame.

Zhou Cheng paused after saying this, then looked at Chen Du again, his eyes conveying a sense of farewell.

“Rein’s original intention in giving you this mission was to temper you into a Sky Soaring Warrior under my secret protection. Now that you have completed the mission, there’s no need to go to the Dynasty Civilization anymore.”

Subsequently, the two wasted no time. Chen Du headed towards the Myriad Flowers Sector, while Zhou Cheng, after clearing the corpses, returned to the Dynasty Civilization in the Nika Plate to continue gathering information... Liaoyuan Sector.

Named for its Plate shape resembling a wildfire, it actually has no connection to fire.

Deep within a certain dense forest.

A wounded team of two was urgently evacuating this dense forest.

“Yu Hui, quickly put me down.”

“You take the ‘longevity tree Foundation’ back yourself; don’t worry about me.”

“Carrying me will slow you down a lot.”

A man who had lost both legs from the waist down spoke to the man carrying him forward.

The man had a buzz cut, a scar on his left arm, and his upper body was stained with blood.

“Don’t say anything, Ling Feng. We’ve been comrades for so many years; I can’t abandon you. I’m confident I can escape!”

“Oh?”

“What confidence? Can you tell me about it?”

A sudden, chilling voice rang out beside the two of them.

“Damn Hunter Civilization!”

“Did they catch up so quickly!?”

Yu Hui’s eyes flashed with surprise, and he said gravely.
