614: All
With a whoosh, Vice Chen Du was summoned by Chen Du from the Crystal Space.
During the previous battle with Qilin King, the cooldown was just a little off, which resulted in him not being able to summon him in the end.
After defeating the Qilin King, one bar of power disappeared, meaning one day had passed. At this moment, the cooldown for Crystal Summon had finally reset.
Aside from lacking consciousness and not having a Crystal Space, Vice Chen Du was completely identical to Chen Du.
Therefore, Chen Du had a bold idea.
He wanted it all!
Chen Du would abide by Lin Xun's words, and as for the eternal heart, he wouldn't let it go either!
The two Chen Dus shared one mind. They walked shoulder to shoulder, with perfectly synchronized steps and speed, towards the two doors in front of them.
Chen Du chose to enter the left door, while Vice Chen Du entered the right door.
Both stopped in unison, a meter from the doors, with perfect understanding.
Chen Du looked straight ahead. To be honest, this was a huge gamble.
The worst outcome would definitely be failure, an inability to obtain the eternal heart. Even if Fusion was possible, calculated over a year, Vice Chen Du's cooldown would become 24 years!
That would be like being banished to the cold palace!
There were too many uncertain factors, but Chen Du still chose to take the gamble.
As someone who prefers stability, the reason he did this was truly because he simply couldn't give up the eternal heart; he was determined to obtain this ultimate resource!
"I'm counting on you, Crystal Space. I believe your mechanism can overcome everything."
Chen Du murmured like he was making a wish, then he and Vice Chen Du, with perfectly synchronized steps, simultaneously stepped into the left and right doors... [Congratulations, Host, you have obtained the characteristic "Hanging by a Thread."]
Opening his eyes, Chen Du found himself back in the place he first entered: Tears Dam, 8,000 meters deep underwater, the water supply station of the Third Ecological Circle.
"Chen Du, you're finally out?"
Yang Hongbin, who had been waiting outside, spoke, his voice tinged with worry.
"Zhang Youren came out on the third day. He said that there had been significant changes inside, even the rules had changed. He was directly teleported into the Rank 29 to 29.9 track, but thankfully, he came out alive."
"He said you would definitely come out alive, and it seems he was right."
"Rank 29 to 29.9 track?"
"That truly is dangerous."
Chen Du, without thinking much, instinctively murmured, then asked, "Where is he now?"
The other party's star plate was very strange, but after the battle with the clone, Chen Du could sense that he was not an enemy, so he wanted to talk to him.
"After he came out, he left the Third Ecological Circle immediately, saying he was going to Star Island."
Chen Du nodded.
The action plan Xie Miao gave him, in addition to intelligence about this place, also included subsequent information.
Currently, the High Martial Civilization is supported by two Domain Warriors, one overt and one covert. Therefore, Chen Du has the qualification, or rather, the civilization has given him enough room for error, to go to Star Island to condense his third Star Mark.
Going to Star Island was also Chen Du's next goal, but he planned to return to the Seventh Ecological Circle first.
"Chen Du, why hasn't your Rank changed?"
"When Zhang Youren came out, he directly gained 1 Rank."
It seems he also encountered a challenge. He came out on the third day, so did he give up on the fourth stage?
Even someone as powerful as him only passed three stages. It seems he suffered from the track's disadvantage, after all, Zhang Youren's Rank was the same as his, both Rank 25.
Chen Du thought so.
"It's like this, there was a challenge inside..."
Chen Du briefly explained the content. There was no need to hide these things, and he was already planning to report them to Xie Miao.
Furthermore, with the eternal heart taken by him, he didn't know if any unforeseen changes would occur here.
For this reason, Chen Du specifically mentioned some things about the Egg God, advising Yang Hongbin or relevant personnel to throw something to test it before approaching this place in the future.
To avoid being subjected to equivalent exchange.
However, Chen Du did not mention his acquisition of the eternal heart. There were two reasons for this.
Firstly, 'a man's wealth is his ruin.' A Small Civilization is not worthy of possessing an ultimate resource, so this resource cannot be leaked.
Through the battle with Yan in the third stage, Chen Du understood that Yan also knew this principle. He had long known and could use the power of heavens favor.
But he had never openly used the power of heavens favor, only treating it as a normal weapon.
Chen Du didn't know if Yan knew that heavens favor was an ultimate resource, but Yan must have known that it was not something a High Martial Civilization could possess, so he had never displayed its power.
Even if it meant death!
Otherwise, the Small Civilizations around the Land of Abandoned Armor, who were also Upper Civilizations, would be no match for the High Martial Civilization.
Take the Sand Dune Civilization, for example. Yan, holding heavens favor, could single-handedly kill all their Domain Warriors, but that would likely lead to the leakage of information about heavens favor, thereby causing the High Martial Civilization to face an unbeatable enemy.
Secondly, Chen Du currently didn't truly know if he had really secured the eternal heart. He needed to test it after leaving the Third Ecological Circle.
What he had definitely obtained so far was the new characteristic, Hanging by a Thread!
This ability was very, very suitable for Chen Du.
One could only say that this random draw was too good; he wondered if it counted as compensation for drawing qi and blood milk in the first stage!
The characteristic Hanging by a Thread could be triggered when Chen Du received an attack that could instantly destroy 50% or more of his vital signs.
His lowest vital sign threshold would be locked at 10% for three seconds.
These three seconds were equivalent to invincibility; vital signs would not drop but could increase.
In simple terms, he wouldn't be instantly killed!
Chen Du's Mental Restart feared being instantly killed the most, as he wouldn't even have a chance to recover. The Hanging by a Thread characteristic perfectly complemented Mental Restart.
This way, no matter who wanted to kill Chen Du, they would have to kill him eight times.
Just like that, under Yang Hongbin's guidance, Chen Du left Tears Dam.
As soon as he came out, he met the round-faced, bearded man waiting at the entrance, who was Secretary Shi, the secretary to the head of the Third Ecological Circle.
From the looks of it, Chen Du guessed that the other party had been waiting for some time and likely had something to tell him.
