529: Place of Death

“I will definitely go; this is simply too much!”

“Right now, I am still too weak, and I absolutely cannot let High Martial Civilization be noticed by those terrifying Great Civilizations.”

Thinking of this, Chen Du’s mind stirred, and an idea instantly surfaced in his brain.

Valkis said casually. After speaking, he felt Chen Du’s expression seemed a bit gloomy, fearing that he might mistakenly think he was hiding some information, so he added:

“I really didn’t mean to be so vague, because, to be honest, I truly don’t know the specific details.”

“In our civilization, to truly have a say or know some secrets, one needs to be at least Level 30, which means entering the Pseudo-Domain stage.”

“Although I have the potential for a Domain, that doesn’t mean I will definitely become a Domain Martial Artist, so naturally, I don’t know many things in great detail.”

Only by advancing to Pseudo-Domain can one know some of the true secrets of a civilization.

Undoubtedly, Valkis’s words were both an answer and a display of Big Eye Civilization’s heritage and strength.

At the same time, it was also a means of self-preservation and a deterrent to Chen Du.

For a Small Civilization, generally speaking, an Advanced Sky Soaring Martial Artist can know many things within the civilization, and an Advanced Sky Soaring Martial Artist can know quite a few secrets.

However, Big Eye Civilization’s threshold for such matters was the Pseudo-Domain stage.

Valkis’s addition was simply to convey information while also telling Chen Du that the power behind him was very strong, warning him not to act rashly.

It was merely to increase his bargaining chips for survival; Chen Du naturally understood this.

If it weren’t for Yan, Chen Du wouldn’t care about his retaliation at all, as this was Golden War Crab Civilization, completely unrelated to High Martial Civilization.

But now it was different; even if the opponent died here, High Martial Civilization still had the possibility of being noticed by Big Eye Civilization or the other two civilizations.

He wanted Big Eye Civilization, which was behind Valkis, to believe that he had found clues to the golden Flying Sword, thereby preventing Big Eye Civilization from turning its attention to High Martial Civilization in the Land of Abandoned Armor Sector.

“No need to worry, I won’t kill you; that would only cause trouble for myself.”

Chen Du reassured him.

Then, he changed the subject and asked:

“Great Civilizations are indeed powerful, but how come I heard that a Great Civilization called Flying Serpent Civilization seems to be on the verge of collapse?”

Flying Serpent Civilization, like Big Eye Civilization, was also a Tier 5 Great Civilization. Great Civilizations were so powerful, what kind of force could destroy them?

Chen Du wanted to see if the explanations from a Tier 1 Great Civilization and a Tier 5 Great Civilization would be the same or different.

“I didn’t expect even the underwater aliens to know about this.”

Valkis was a bit surprised that Chen Du would suddenly bring this up, but on second thought, it was normal, as this matter was considered huge news.

Paper cannot wrap fire; this matter had already exploded in the Flying Serpent Block, and it was not strange for it to gradually spread now.

“Your information is outdated. A week ago, I just left Big Eye Civilization to come here, and the civilization had just updated this information. Flying Serpent Civilization is not on the verge of collapse; it has already been destroyed.”

“However, even if I don’t say this, you should be able to anticipate it. With so many Domain Martial Artists dead, they simply couldn’t maintain the combat power a Great Civilization should have. Attacked by a multitude of nearby Small Civilizations, they were naturally annihilated.”

“Many Domain Martial Artists died?”

“Was there a war?”

Chen Du asked like a curious child.

Valkis didn’t think much of it, as this matter was unrelated to Big Eye Civilization, and the information had already spread. Small and Great Civilizations would know sooner or later; it was just a matter of knowing a bit earlier or a bit later.

“No war, they just courted death themselves.”

“Flying Serpent Civilization was too ambitious. Their leader led a large number of Domain Martial Artists into the Land of Dusk Death, attempting to acquire resources within it to raise their civilization’s strength to Tier 4 or even higher levels.”

“Unfortunately, they failed.”

“You know the outcome.”

“This is the core reason for their demise.”

“Land of Dusk Death?”

“What kind of place is that? I’ve never heard of it.”

“It’s normal that you haven’t heard of it.”

Valkis said indifferently.

“There are a total of Nine Forbidden Zones on Blue Star, three on the Surface, three on the seabed, two in the Skysoar, and one Underground.”

“And the Land of Dusk Death is one of the three Forbidden Grounds on the Surface.”

“These places, even our Great Civilizations avoid them. There are indeed some resources inside, but the risks are too great, and the gains do not outweigh the losses.”

“Even if Domain Martial Artists go in, the death rate exceeds 50%. It’s not strange that Flying Serpent Civilization collectively died in the Land of Dusk Death.”

Nine Forbidden Zones?

This was the first time Chen Du had heard this information, but High Martial Civilization’s exploration of Blue Star was, after all, very limited, so it was normal not to know.

Subsequently, Chen Du asked some more questions about the Nine Forbidden Zones. Valkis, not being Level 30, didn’t know much information about the Forbidden Grounds, only their names and some characteristics of a few Forbidden Grounds.

The Land of Wither in the Skysoar and the Primordial Mine Underground were not Forbidden Lands; they could only be considered restricted areas, with a much lower danger coefficient than Forbidden Grounds.

This information made Chen Du realize that even Great Civilizations had things they feared.

He had previously thought that only higher-level Great Civilizations and Overlord-level Civilizations could threaten Great Civilizations; now, the Nine Forbidden Zones were added to that list.

The clues and resources Chen Du currently possessed were temporarily unrelated to the Forbidden Grounds, so he no longer thought about it.

However, after hearing this speech, Chen Du vaguely felt that this answer was somewhat incorrect.

Valkis’s answer was different from what Ruyan had said at the time.

Logically speaking, compared to the fallacy of being destroyed by a Small Civilization, collectively dying in the Land of Dusk Death was indeed more reasonable.

But, for some reason, Chen Du always felt that this answer was not quite right.

This was not Chen Du’s wild speculation, but had a certain basis.

A Tier 5 Great Civilization had no reason to suddenly risk the power of all its Domain Martial Artists in a gamble; this was very abnormal.

Although the reasons and motives were all reasonable, Chen Du always felt that this matter was a bit strange.

Of course, Chen Du did not suspect Valkis of lying to him, because this issue was unrelated to their interests.

However, an answer could be true, or it could be one deliberately spread by someone with ulterior motives, an answer that people would psychologically believe.

As for the purpose, whether it was to cover up something or something else, Chen Du found it hard to guess.

Continuing to think about it would only be a waste of time in idle speculation, as he had no additional information.

In short, Chen Du believed that the demise of Flying Serpent Civilization was very peculiar.

Chen Du judged that both Ruyan’s and Valkis’s statements should be partially correct, as only a half-truth answer is an unsolvable answer.

Then, he directly lifted Valkis’s head, hid it in his belly, and quickly Advanced in a certain direction.

“What are you going to do!?”

Chen Du’s actions startled Valkis.

“I know that in your Big Eye Civilization, there is something called the ‘Spiritual World.’ Anyone who is sufficiently a Genius will leave a spiritual imprint there before going out.”

“This imprint will show your itinerary five days before your death. Am I wrong?”

Chen Du’s lips curved slightly upward, revealing a smile that made Valkis somewhat afraid.

At this moment, Chen Du changed his original plan; he intended to… give up the lin pearl!
