577: The Purpose of Duragos

"How do you know that name?"

"Who exactly are you?"

The moment Chen Du heard the name Wu La, his hair stood on end.

Durags, in his eyes, instantly became a dangerous person.

Coupled with the fact that he insisted on meeting him alone this time, the two factors combined gave Chen Du a faint, ominous premonition.

According to Rainn, Durags became this way because he blocked a fatal blow for him, which proved that Durags was a very loyal person.

But what he just said gave Chen Du a bad feeling.

Could it be that the real Durags was already dead, and the Durags here was a disguise of some Alien Race?

But to deceive so many people, it should be unlikely, though it couldn't be completely ruled out.

Or… was this fatal injury also part of his plan?

"Stop guessing randomly."

Durags seemed to see what Chen Du was thinking.

"I am who I am, the Durags you think I am, that much is genuine."

Chen Du was silent, unsure what to say for a moment.

Although Durags was a Domain Warrior, in his current state, he wouldn't live much longer even if he did nothing; if he moved a couple of times, he would surely die.

At this moment, he was somewhat confused.

For a time, he couldn't quite discern Durags's stance.

But he didn't lower his guard and said in a deep voice:

"You asked to see me alone, it shouldn't just be to say this, right?"

Durags didn't directly answer Chen Du's question; instead, he showed a smile uglier than crying:

"What do you think of the current situation of High Martial Civilization?"

Although he didn't understand what Durags was trying to say, Chen Du still replied:

"Very bad."

"Worse than ever before."

"Now, although Yan has returned, in order not to attract the attention of those three Great Civilizations, he will Incarnate as a shadow, secretly guarding High Martial Civilization."

"And you..."

Chen Du paused, then continued:

"Your current state means you won't live much longer. In this way, High Martial Civilization will fall into the awkward situation of having only one Domain Warrior on the surface."

"It's fine for a short time, but over a long period, the surrounding Small Civilizations will definitely notice."

"Especially those Civilizations that are also Upper Civilizations; they are particularly concerned about this."

"A High Martial Civilization with only one Domain Warrior obviously cannot possess the vast territory it once had."

"The current number of ecosystems is six. Because of this matter, it might become five, four, or even fewer later on!"

Chen Du had thought about this problem when he learned that Durags was nearing his end.

He had wanted to become a Domain Warrior quickly before, also to fill the void left by Yan.

But he never expected that Yan would return, only for Durags to be on the verge of death!

"Very well said."

"The goal of High Martial Civilization has always been to become a top-tier Civilization."

"But looking at the current situation, if Rainn also has some accident, let alone a top-tier Civilization, it might directly fall to a mid-tier Civilization."

"Even without these, if High Martial Civilization truly had five Domain Warriors and upgraded to a top-tier Civilization, there are still Great Civilizations above it. Coupled with the current turbulent situation, it's hard to say how far it can go in the future."

Durags spoke as if to himself, but the worry in his eyes didn't seem feigned, which left Chen Du somewhat confused.

After speaking, he slightly turned his head:

"You tell me, if I were you, would it be possible to change this situation?"

"You are much stronger than me, whether in knowledge, power, vision, or thinking."

"If even you cannot change the current situation, what can I do?"

Chen Du denied it.

"You misunderstood."

"What I meant was..."

"If I possessed your Ten Secret Treasures, would I have a chance to rewrite the future of High Martial Civilization?"

Silence.

A deathly silence.

"Who exactly are you?"

"You keep saying you are the Durags I think you are, but the Durags I think you are couldn't possibly know about my Ten Secret Treasures."

Durags's statement was far more explosive than the mention of Wu La before, but Chen Du, already mentally prepared, didn't show any great fluctuation because of it.

"I am indeed a person of High Martial Civilization, and I am the Durags you think I am. On this point, I have not lied."

"But besides this, I have another identity."

"I am also a Prophet Civilization!"

Durags once again dropped a bombshell.

"You know the mechanism of Prophet Civilization; as long as one clan member dies, all other clan members can share his memories."

"No, I have never used the Ten Secret Treasures to kill any Alien Race of Prophet Civilization..."

Chen Du's words stopped halfway, as if suddenly frozen like a crashed computer.

He had indeed never used the Ten Secret Treasures to kill any Alien Race of Prophet Civilization.

But did a Prophet Alien Race necessarily look like the one he saw Underground?

Durags's appearance clearly wasn't, yet he claimed to be Prophet Civilization.

Chen Du had used the Ten Secret Treasures very few times; those few memory fragments replayed in his mind in an instant.

From the fact that the other party could call out the name Wu La, this Alien Race was also Underground.

Only one fit this criterion.

That was Zhai Yao of Dire Wolf Civilization!

"You discovered me through the memories of Zhai Yao of Dire Wolf Civilization?"

"Half right."

"When you used the ability of the Tenth Secret Treasure to circumvent his innate equivalent explosion, two Prophet Civilizations happened to arrive."

"One of them was a Domain Warrior, so you couldn't detect him."

After speaking, he again showed a smile uglier than crying:

"I won't hide it from you either. The Prophet Alien Race, due to the curse of the Grievance Dragon Clan, has a lifespan limit of only 50 years, which can only be resolved by the Black Dragon Creation Pool."

"However, this resource should be gone with the destruction of Black Dragon Civilization. I instructed Xie Miao to send your report to me immediately, so I know that when you went, the Black Dragon Creation Pool was already abandoned."

"But for me, it no longer matters."

"Under the continuous sharp decline of our Prophet Alien Race population, we have mastered the ability of rebirth. This is the Unique method we found within our capabilities to circumvent the curse."

"In the words of High Martial Civilization, it's reincarnation, only there's no so-called underworld; other aspects are quite similar."

"This is also why I said I am the Durags you think I am."

"Because I am a Prophet Civilization nearing his end, reborn into High Martial Civilization!"

"But don't worry, I grew up in High Martial Civilization and am a member who completely belongs to and loves High Martial Civilization. Apart from this memory mechanism, I have no other connection or contact with Prophet Civilization."

"My actions can prove this point."

As Durags spoke, his entire aura suddenly turned cold and sinister:

"You're very curious, aren't you, Chen Du, about why I specifically sought you out and requested a one-on-one meeting?"

"You just said yourself that my knowledge, vision, and thinking are all superior to yours."

"Then, do you think that if these qualities of mine, combined with your body and talent, could create an existence capable of changing the future trajectory of High Martial Civilization!"

"So..."

"Give me your body, Chen Du!"

"The future of High Martial Civilization will be pioneered by me, Durags!"
