659: Gone

This was a statement the Ticket Seller specifically directed at Chen Du.

Chen Du had saved him, and he was afraid that Chen Du, now powerful, might be overconfident and insist on returning.

However, Chen Du wasn't thinking about that at all.

He had a doubt in his heart that he absolutely had to go back and confirm.

“When you left, were there any changes at the Egg God?”

“The Egg God?”

“Isn't that just a place to extract magma and raise the environmental temperature? What changes could there be?”

After the Ticket Seller finished speaking, he thought he had guessed something and added:

“You're not suspecting that the unknown Alien Civilization hatched from the Egg God, are you?”

“Impossible. First of all, that thing has been there for who knows how many years; it's long dead.”

“Besides, what kind of creature's egg would continuously spew magma? It's definitely a natural phenomenon.”

The Ticket Seller used to do patrol missions and had seen the Egg God.

But later, he pulled some strings and became a Ticket Seller at Gravity Mountain, which was considered an official position with good benefits and an easy job.

“Even if there really is some creature inside, its size doesn't match.”

“That snake-like black Alien Civilization isn't that big.”

Chen Du nodded perfunctorily.

The Ticket Seller, like many Alien Civilizations, didn't know about equivalent exchange, and even less that life could also be exchanged equivalently.

Now Chen Du had one last piece of information to confirm with him:

“Can that unknown Alien Civilization you mentioned defeat a Domain Warrior?”

“I don't know.”

The Ticket Seller quickly gave an answer:

“To be honest, our Gloomy Land is too weak. I don't even know if there are any Domain Warriors.”

“Like many Alien Civilizations, I fled in terror. To be honest, I don't know about what happened afterward.”

“The only thing for sure is that the Gloomy Land is very unsafe now.”

“Perhaps some places haven't been affected yet, but I think they will be eventually. This is also why we made up our minds to leave.”

Chen Du listened silently without speaking.

Such a thing happened, yet there was no Domain, which is Unique to Domain Warriors.

Could it be that the Gloomy Land really doesn't have a single Domain Warrior?

Or is this place too barren, and all Domain Warriors left for other territories after becoming Domain Warriors?

After all, people strive for higher places and water flows to lower places. This explanation seems the most reasonable. Otherwise, it would be unreasonably weak for a territory to not have a single Domain Warrior.

This led to this sudden situation where no Domain Warrior stepped forward to stop that thing.

Based on the current situation, Chen Du couldn't determine the strength of this unknown Alien Civilization.

If he went back and confronted it, what would happen?

Although Chen Du was very confident, it depended on who he was fighting.

Fighting a Dire Wolf King-level opponent would naturally be a piece of cake.

This was a very risky endeavor, but Chen Du had a reason to go back.

The importance of this reason even surpassed the condensation of the Star Mark.

With something like this happening, Chen Du had to personally confirm the state of the Egg God!

After the Ticket Seller finished speaking, he seemed to sense Chen Du's determination to return:

“Wu La, are you trying to go back and find your relatives?”

“They might indeed still be alive.”

“Although the Shushu Civilization was destroyed, it wasn't completely wiped out. However, there really aren't many people left. From the perspective of a civilization, it's considered destroyed.”

Chen Du nodded, taking the opportunity to go along with it:

“Yes, I want to go back and find my parents.”

Although Wu La's background was that his parents were deceased, the Ticket Seller didn't know about this. When they chatted before, Chen Du only said that he had been dumped by a woman.

“Since your mind is made up, I won't try to dissuade you anymore.”

“Perhaps you'll be lucky, and that monster might have left, or you might not encounter it.”

“But I still want to remind you, if you really find your parents, take them out of the Gloomy Land with you. I always feel that if similar things happen again, the Gloomy Land will be the starting point.”

“This incident might just be the fuse, but my intuition tells me that the Gloomy Land can no longer be stayed in.”

“Your current strength is even stronger than a normal Sky Soaring Warrior. Even if you go to the strongest Taiji Bahuang Territory, I'm sure you'll have a place there.”

“Thank you, I will go.”

Chen Du nodded and said truthfully.

After the Ticket Seller finished speaking, he smiled:

“Wu La, when they attacked earlier, my body had actually already suffered a fatal injury.”

“Even if I hadn't been trampled to death by them just now, I wouldn't live for more than a week.”

“Kill me.”

“Rather than dying in such pain, or encountering Alien Civilizations like the Dire Wolf Civilization again and becoming food, it's better to die by your hand.”

After a few seconds of silence.

“Okay.”

...After understanding the whole process, Chen Du flew even more impatiently towards the Egg God's location.

In his storage space, he had 6 substitute death grasses obtained from other Alien Civilizations.

These things were useless to someone of his level and were kept in his storage space mainly for emergencies.

For example, if the Seventh Ecological Circle were to fall one day and he rushed back to find his parents and younger brother barely clinging to life, the substitute death grass would be useful then.

After all, Chen Du had a bit of paranoia, so in his own opinion, this behavior was very necessary and reasonable.

However, not using it on the Ticket Seller was not for this reason.

It was because the other party could no longer survive.

After the Shushu Civilization was destroyed, the Ticket Seller, who wasn't even an Advanced Martial Artist, couldn't survive on his own.

Just as he said, he would still encounter Alien Civilizations like the Dire Wolf Civilization, and Chen Du couldn't possibly keep him by his side.

Death, for him, was indeed a good end.

Year 864, June 10th, 15:32.

Half a day later, Chen Du arrived at the Gloomy Land, looking at the Shushu Civilization he had stayed in before.

Along the way, it was indeed as the Ticket Seller said, like a great escape, especially the closer he got to the Shushu Civilization's direction, the more so.

The first to bear the brunt?

This was the Ticket Seller's phrasing, but why the first to bear the brunt?

As the distance closed, Chen Du's unease grew.

The journey was smooth, and Chen Du arrived at the original location of the Egg God without any obstacles.

But the unease in his heart was also magnified to the extreme at this moment.

The thing he least wanted to see had happened.

The Egg God was gone!

This scene instantly made Chen Du's heart sink, and a terrifying and desperate guess emerged in his mind:

“No way, has this God Lifeform already been born and started feeding?”

(Why has the number of Request for Updates (reminders to update) plummeted by dozens recently? Have you all gone to school? It should still be summer vacation, right? It breaks my heart! I can't sleep at night! I'm on pins and needles, walking on thin ice!)
