562: The location of the Dragon Ball

“Surrender obediently, and I can spare your life!”

Whenever a Golden Wrath Shrimp Civilization was nearby, Di Ba would utter this line to the Humanoid life form fleeing before him.

As time passed, the two gradually faded out of the former Golden War Crab Civilization's territory.

In a deserted corner, the two stopped in unison.

The expressionless Chen Du suddenly, with a “swoosh,” dissipated like smoke.

And Di Ba, who had been tracking him, transformed into Chen Du’s appearance.

“This Crystal Clone is quite useful.”

Chen Du muttered to himself.

To end this act early, Chen Du deliberately took the route with the fewest resources, meaning the fewest people, but even so, it took him five hours.

The Crystal Clone’s cooldown time is 24 times its existence duration, which means Chen Du will be unable to use the Crystal Clone for the next 5 days.

However, compared to obtaining the lin pearl, this small price was nothing; it was a complete steal.

There were no Domain Warriors encountered along the way, so it was a safe journey.

After putting the lin pearl into his backpack, Chen Du continued along his planned route.

One day later, Chen Du successfully arrived at the Liaoyuan Sector.

This sector serves as a transit hub, with many Alien Civilizations coming and going.

As soon as Chen Du arrived, he hadn't walked far before encountering an Alien Civilization walking towards him.

The other party was Rank 25, also a Humanoid life form, but their head structure was quite peculiar; the bones on their head split left and right like the cover of a pavilion, somewhat resembling a center-parted hairstyle.

Chen Du didn't know what Alien Civilization this was, but it was definitely a Small Civilization.

The other party was very interested in the Dragon Ball, painted to look like a basketball, tied to Chen Du’s waist.

He originally intended to forcibly acquire it, relying on his Rank advantage, but unfortunately, Chen Du was no ordinary Rank 24.

After one encounter, he disconnected from this world.

Such minor incidents had occurred several times on the way back.

Most of them were driven by greed, all believing the basketball tied to Chen Du’s waist was a good item.

But surprisingly, this thing truly was a good item!

Unfortunately, it couldn't be placed in storage space; when using the alien form, the Dragon Ball could only be put into the shrimp claw, but thankfully, the Golden Wrath Shrimp Civilization’s claws had enough space.

There was also one instance of pure malicious killing; that Alien Civilization simply wanted to kill, but unfortunately picked the wrong opponent and was directly sent by Chen Du to meet his great-grandmother.

After a short stay in the Liaoyuan Sector, Chen Du ascended and headed towards a place he couldn't name.

This location belonged to an area beneath the Land of Wither.

That’s right, the place Chen Du was going to now was the Land of Wither; he planned to hide the Dragon Ball there.

After all, keeping this item in a High Martial Civilization was a bit dangerous.

The Myriad Flowers Civilization was a lesson learned; something a Great Civilization couldn't guard, let alone a High Martial Civilization.

Although they all didn't know that this Dragon Ball contained the Black Dragon King's tomb.

But from the information the Thousand-Faced Tree possessed, they weren't being deceived either.

Because inside, there truly was ultimate resource.

And it wasn't just an ordinary ultimate resource; it was the ultimate resource among ultimate resources, a Genesis Fish that could grant wishes!

If the Genesis Fish could truly be brought out, Chen Du believed that the wish of these Great Civilizations would be for their own Civilization to break the Rank 35 limit.

This way, they would have hope of becoming the fourth Overlord-level Civilization!

Or even more boldly, secretly accumulating strength and enduring, directly overthrowing the monopoly of the three Overlord-level Civilizations and becoming the Unique Overlord-level Civilization!

However, even if this wish were to come true, it would be difficult to achieve such a feat; even without Rank restrictions, merely reaching Rank 35 is something few Geniuses can do, let alone Rank 36?

From the Thousand-Faced Tree, it was learned that there were only three Rank 35 Domain Warriors in the entire Myriad Flowers Civilization.

This is a very difficult Life Strength Rank to achieve.

Two days later.

Chen Du arrived at this unnamed location again.

This time, his luck was good; he didn't encounter any short-sighted Alien Civilizations, but there was a phenomenon worth noting.

That was the increased number of Yun Que Civilizations (Lark Civilizations) on the way.

Logically, this area wasn't within their territory; if there were any, they would be just passing through, like the one Chen Du encountered before.

But based on his observations over the past two days, these Yun Que Civilizations (Lark Civilizations) were not just passing through.

Instead, they seemed to be looking for something.

Fortunately, Chen Du used his powerful Mental Energy to avoid them early on.

It was a peaceful journey.

Ascending all the way, passing through thick clouds, Chen Du reappeared in the sky at one hundred thousand meters, arriving at the Land of Wither.

It was just as cold and desolate as last time, like an unattended shopping mall.

Chen Du felt no emotion at this sight; he only wanted to quickly hide the Dragon Ball and leave.

The withered mist arrived as expected, like a pet dog.

Due to Boundless Lifespan, Chen Du didn't need to dodge; the dust-like insects that could devour lifespan sniffed around and then retreated.

It was as if they were saying, “One of us, pass!”

Arriving at Withered Mountain, its image was still ridiculously large; Chen Du felt, perhaps it was an illusion, that the number of holes on it seemed to have increased.

According to Ru Yan, this thing came from the bottom of the sea; no one seems to have figured out the exact reason yet.

Then, he stopped thinking about it; getting to work was more important.

Chen Du scanned a few times and finally found a hole in the lower right corner that perfectly matched his height and flew into it.

For no other reason than that holes of this size would allow far fewer Alien Civilizations to enter.

Chen Du circled inside for a long time, finally stopping at a seemingly unremarkable spot with almost no memorable features.

It was bare, almost entirely rock, and one might not even remember it after passing by.

Then, he dug a pit about 10 meters deep, buried the Dragon Ball, and restored the area to its previous appearance.

The Dragon Ball was like a ticking time bomb; placing it in a High Martial Civilization risked bringing trouble to the Civilization, and carrying it himself, he feared being inexplicably sucked in one day.

Throwing it anywhere also risked someone else picking it up.

After much deliberation, Chen Du decided to bury the Dragon Ball in Withered Mountain; this place was famously resource-poor and dangerous, and hardly any Alien Civilizations would come here.

If possible, Chen Du still wanted to strive for the Genesis Fish inside.

After all, who wouldn't want a resource that could grant wishes?

After finishing, Chen Du left the place.

After exiting, he had a sudden idea, confirmed for a long time outside, and finally chose a hole to fly into.

As the saying goes, since he was already here, Chen Du planned to visit the place where he previously discovered the Eternal Tree to see if there would be any changes.
