573: Return to the first ecosystem

“Encyclopedia?”

“Could it be… the Heavenly Book Civilization?”

When Chen Du heard this, he already had a guess in his heart, and Yan Yun’s subsequent words confirmed his suspicion.

“This Alien Civilization seems to be somewhat omnipotent. No matter the situation, he can always open a certain page in his book and respond accordingly.”

“It’s as if he’s omnipotent, with no weaknesses at all.”

“It’s my first time seeing an Alien Civilization with such comprehensive abilities.”

“The three of us looked like we were putting on a farce in front of him, and when it would end was entirely up to his mood.”

Chen Du instinctively nodded. He had fought against the Heavenly Book Civilization before, and their abilities indeed provided whatever was needed, with no weaknesses whatsoever.

It was indeed very, very difficult for an Alien Civilization of the same rank to defeat him.

“Is this Alien Civilization…”

Chen Du immediately spoke after Yan Yun finished, describing all the information and appearance of the Heavenly Book Civilization, the mini-boss he had fought in the Crystal Space.

“Yes, yes, yes!”

“Not a single detail is off.”

“Have you fought against this Civilization?”

Chen Du nodded.

“That’s right, but I only know that this Civilization is called the Heavenly Book Civilization. They come from Underground, are suspected to have moved to the Surface, and may be related to the Sword Arrive Civilization.”

This part of the content was not mentioned in Chen Du’s previous half-true, half-false version of events, so Yan Yun was unaware of it.

This content was not part of the main storyline for Chen Du’s personal experience, and the information was fragmented.

The reason he paid attention to the Heavenly Book Civilization was because this Civilization had appeared in the Crystal Space.

Otherwise, Chen Du would not have paid them any attention.

“Related to the Sword Arrive Civilization?”

“No wonder…”

Yan Yun’s focus was different from Chen Du’s. After hearing about the Sword Arrive Civilization, he seemed to understand something. He didn’t hide anything from Chen Du and truthfully said:

“The direction that Heavenly Book Civilization ultimately left in was precisely the direction of the Sword Arrives Plate!”

“If you hadn’t mentioned its connection to the Sword Arrive Civilization, I really wouldn’t have paid attention to that.”

Yan Yun said, pointing in a direction.

If it weren’t for Chen Du’s words, Yan Yun would have simply thought that the other party had merely killed them, taken their treasures, and left.

Upon hearing this, Chen Du squinted his eyes and looked in the direction Yan Yun pointed.

It seemed his guess was correct; the Sword Arrive Civilization and the Heavenly Book Civilization indeed had some kind of relationship.

As for whether this relationship was one of master-slave or cooperation, Chen Du couldn’t say for sure.

If it were cooperation, the Sword Arrive Civilization, a T3-level Great Civilization, would not likely cooperate with a Small Civilization.

But if it were master-slave… Chen Du felt that since the Heavenly Book Civilization could be the BOSS of the 15th wave in the Crystal Space, it shouldn’t have been reduced to slavery.

Of course, it didn’t rule out other possibilities, as he had too little information about the Heavenly Book Civilization.

He only knew that they originated from Underground, then disappeared overnight, suspected to have gone to the Surface, and were related to the Sword Arrive Civilization.

Yan Yun’s encounter today seemed to confirm the speculation that they had indeed come to the Surface and were related to the Sword Arrive Civilization.

The remaining secrets would likely only be found in the Sword Arrives Plate.

“Minister Yan.”

“What can this mutated green mushroom stone be used for?”

Chen Du suddenly asked.

Chen Du knew that green mushroom stone was one of the main and irreplaceable ingredients of the three-stage medicine, and he himself had been a beneficiary.

Although very precious, it was actually only precious to Civilizations that had developed technology.

As for the green mushroom stone itself, its value wasn’t that high. And according to Chen Du’s understanding from Underground, the Heavenly Book Civilization was not a Civilization that had developed technology.

So, it was obvious that what they wanted should be the life Qi within this green mushroom stone.

From Chen Du’s perspective, he only knew that this item was valuable, but he didn’t really care how valuable it was.

It wasn’t that Chen Du was arrogant, but rather that he possessed many rare resources.

In Chen Du’s opinion, the value of this mutated green mushroom stone should be inferior to many things he had on him.

But now, it seemed, perhaps not.

Yan Yun naturally knew that Chen Du wasn’t asking about the green mushroom stone itself, but rather about the life Qi within it.

“I don’t know what exactly it can be used for.”

Yan Yun said, his tone entirely serious.

“The greatest value of this item is for research. We can add a portion of this mutated green mushroom stone’s components to many different products.”

“To see what kind of effect it can have.”

“Mutated resources like this might be one-of-a-kind in this world, so no one can directly state their exact uses.”

The three walked and talked. Although he had internal injuries, Xiao Wang still insisted on carrying Xiao Gao’s body himself.

Firstly, out of friendship, he hoped to do one last thing for his friend.

Secondly, if there was danger, Chen Du could act more calmly and conveniently.

Because Chen Du was there, the tense expressions on their faces also eased considerably.

Even if the Heavenly Book Civilization attacked again, Chen Du would have a way to deal with it.

If even Chen Du couldn’t win, then it meant their time was up!

“A mutated green mushroom stone might be one-of-a-kind, but what if that life Qi could also appear in other resources?”

“Could they be collecting these life Qi?”

After a long silence, Chen Du speculated, this was the only possibility he could think of.

Yan Yun listened, thought deeply for a long time, and also felt there was some truth to it.

However, his primary duty was research, so he couldn’t guarantee anything about these matters.

He suggested Chen Du ask Durags.

In the eyes of Martial Artists from a High Martial Civilization, Durags was almost synonymous with omnipotence. If he didn’t know something, it could almost be concluded that the problem was unsolvable in a High Martial Civilization.

This was authority!

And Chen Du thought the same.

Most people couldn’t see Durags. Although he hadn’t seen him either, he believed that after returning and submitting these resources, it shouldn’t be difficult to meet him.

February 7th, 2:30 AM

Yan Yun and his companion, along with Chen Du, parted ways again.

At this point, the three had returned to the Land of Abandoned Armor. Due to the distances between the Ecological Zones, Chen Du would arrive at the First Ecological Zone first.

Yan Yun and his companion, on the other hand, were heading towards the Seventh Ecological Circle.

Although Chen Du also wanted to return to the Seventh Ecological Circle at this moment, he had to first complete his mission handover clearly.

He had already thought very clearly about the resources he carried.

Chen Du planned to submit all of them to one of the leaders.

Although he was born in the Seventh Ecological Circle, even if he brought all the resources to the Seventh Ecological Circle, no one would say anything.

But Chen Du wouldn’t do that; that would be too emotional.

Only these few leaders knew the true situation of each Ecological Zone. Giving the resources to them, and then letting them distribute them, was the best outcome.

Soon, Chen Du stepped within the First Ecological Zone’s cordon (alert line).

At this moment, he had already taken off his clown mask.

His smart bracelet also regained signal the moment Chen Du entered the alert line.

Countless red dots popped up.
