627: Four echelons of rising and falling plates

"A Little Flying Bug from the Sand Dune Civilization?"

"Could it be from your father's body?"

Chen Du didn't understand why Moreit would pull out such a thing.

According to the knowledge Chen Du learned in the general education class at Qilin Martial Arts University, Little Flying Bugs are against civilization regulations.

This thing belongs to the category of living body implantation technology; not only is the process incredibly painful, but it also acts like a bomb, giving a great degree of control over people below the Sky Soaring Warrior Rank.

"Yes."

After Moreit finished speaking, he quickly made a shushing gesture.

"Chen Du, don't misunderstand. My father would absolutely never betray the High Martial Civilization, nor is he a spy."

"My father is a very talented person. He initially served in the Technology Martial Hall. Later, because of his outstanding talent, he was promoted to Rank 25. He weighed his options and realized that if he joined the Limit Martial Hall, he could play a greater role."

"That's why he frequently went on missions later on."

"The Little Flying Bug technology was banned due to humanitarian concerns, but my father still chose to implant this thing in himself. The purpose was that if he suddenly died one day, he could still provide some information to the High Martial Civilization."

Chen Du nodded. Although Uncle Mo Wuyan violated civilization regulations, he did so to himself. While it was still a violation, his original intention completely changed the nature of the act.

"However, how did you get the Little Flying Bug?"

"Theoretically, this thing shouldn't be able to fly into the High Martial Civilization and fall into your hands."

Chen Du had seen Little Flying Bugs before. They don't fly particularly fast; their main characteristic is that they can burrow into the desert, which makes pursuit very difficult.

The High Martial Civilization is covered with miniature surveillance everywhere, and its ground is not like the desert of the Sand Dune Civilization, but has many steel reinforcements.

Theoretically, Little Flying Bugs cannot enter, whether on the Surface or underground.

Facing Chen Du's confusion, Moreit was not surprised at all. Instead, he felt that Chen Du was listening very carefully, not just passively, but with his own thoughts:

"Little Flying Bugs naturally cannot enter our High Martial Civilization, so the one in my hand is actually not the one inside my father's body. It is an 'Associated Replica' of that one."

"The setting for the one inside my father was that it would explode upon approaching the High Martial Civilization's cordon (alert line), and then this Associated Replica in my hand would receive all the information from that one."

"The purpose of doing this is to still be able to send back potentially valuable information to the High Martial Civilization even after death."

As Moreit spoke, a hint of pride flickered in his eyes.

It was clear that he looked up to his father, Mo Wuyan, as a role model and deeply agreed with his philosophy.

"So, what information did the one in your hand transmit?"

Moreit didn't answer. Instead, he pressed a switch on the Little Flying Bug in his hand.

A "crackle" sound emanated from it, like an old television with poor signal.

Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!

Immediately after, the sound of a body being pierced by some sharp object came from it, followed by four words.

"Dynasty Civilization!"

The tone carried a sense of sudden realization.

"This voice is my father's. The reason there's so little information is because the Little Flying Bug inside my father was destroyed."

"However, that Little Flying Bug and the Little Flying Bug in my father's hand, besides the High Martial Civilization's technology, also have something inside that can transmit sound."

"This sound is the last emergency measure. Even without network communication, it can still transmit a bit of information back."

"This is also why I'm conflicted. The life card and the Little Flying Bug, both of these things should not have gone wrong."

"As for this Dynasty Civilization, although it's only a single sentence of information, it should be the civilization that killed my father."

"I specifically checked before, their positioning underwent a modification, directly changing from a lower-tier civilization to a top-tier civilization."

"But they are not from our Floating Plate. My current goal is very simple: I just want to see with my own eyes if my father is really dead!"

"Or, if he truly has some means of resurrection but is stuck somewhere for some reason, if that's the case, I want to rescue him."

Upon hearing this, Chen Du's eyelids lowered slightly.

Different races are natural enemies; there's nothing to say about dying at the hands of another race.

But the Dynasty Civilization is a bit special.

They are a super Small Civilization that brings together Geniuses from various Small Civilizations.

From Zhou Cheng's description, Chen Du already knew that the true strength of the Dynasty Civilization was a Small Civilization that surpassed top-tier civilizations.

They could even, when concentrated, directly contend with a T5-level Great Civilization.

It is precisely because of this nature that the Dynasty Civilization generally does not actively attack other Small Civilizations.

And the philosophy of the High Martial Civilization is defense and development; they rarely take the initiative to attack.

These two philosophies made Mo Wuyan's death seem a bit suspicious. Moreover, the life card burning out and then recovering a quarter of itself was indeed strange.

Plus, now there's the Little Flying Bug, something that only triggers after death.

Chen Du took the life card from Moreit's hand, pointed it in a certain direction, and the flame within the burn mark maximized.

Undoubtedly, by continuously advancing in that direction, one could encounter the card's binder.

"Floating Plate."

"It seems your father has been inside all along. No wonder you told me you needed to find an expert."

The minimum standard for entering the Floating Plate is indeed a Sky Soaring Warrior, but various civilizations, to prevent the people they painstakingly trained from dying in vain,

Generally, they would have an Advanced Aerial Warrior within the civilization act as a team leader, and then lead several Sky Soaring Warriors to enter together.

"So, your initial goal was to have me contact an Advanced Aerial Warrior from the First Ecological Zone to take you in to find your father?"

Moreit nodded:

"That's right, but it won't be for nothing. I'll provide compensation. My family's resources are quite good, and if there are any needs, I'll try my best to meet them."

"As for the issue of leaving the zone, after entering the Eight Famous Schools, the minimum Rank for going out on missions is Rank 12. I am currently Rank 13, so I meet the requirements."

"Moreit, aren't you afraid of death?"

"Do you know what the Floating Plate is?"

Chen Du said seriously.

"I'm not afraid. My father often taught me that if everyone is afraid of death, this civilization will surely have no future."

"As for the Floating Plate, my father used to tell me about it."

"The foreign races entering the Floating Plate are generally divided into four echelons: low-tier, mid-tier, high-tier, and the highest, top-tier."

"Low-tier consists of one or several Sky Soaring Warriors."

"Mid-tier consists of one Advanced Aerial Warrior and several Sky Soaring Warriors, which is also the most common combination."

"High-tier, on the other hand, consists entirely of Advanced Aerial Warriors."

"Top-tier is more special, consisting of one or even several Domain Warriors. However, in non-war situations, Domain Warriors will not appear."

"Although I am only Rank 13, there's nothing I can do. I must find someone now to take me in and confirm my father's condition."

"If my father truly still has a breath left, I must rescue him."

Chen Du nodded. He hadn't realized how brave Moreit was before.

"Since that's the case, let's set off now. It just so happens that I'm also a bit interested in the Dynasty Civilization."

Chen Du instantly dropped the serious expression from his face and smiled.
