685: Prevent planet upgrades

Looking at Chen Du's expectant gaze, Qing Feng smiled: "I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you. It's not some incredibly powerful resource, and certainly not an ultimate resource."

"It's Lingkong Pills."

"To be precise, it's 'Sky-Falling Lingkong Pills.' Countless Small Lingkong Pills and Great Lingkong Pills fell from the sky."

"You should know, this thing can directly increase a Sky Soaring Warrior and Advanced Aerial Warrior's Life Strength by 1 level."

"For a Genius like you, it might not feel like much, but for this thing to fall from the sky, it's no less than money falling from the sky instead of rain!"

"The people below almost went mad fighting."

"As you know, the reason Underground Alien Races are more peaceful than Surface Alien Races is because Underground resources are not as good as those on the Surface, and are relatively fairly distributed."

"The Sky-Falling Lingkong Pills broke this balance."

"Looking back, it's quite normal. Everything in the world revolves around profit. The relative peace of the Underground Alien Races wasn't because they were inherently good, but simply because there was no reason for conflict."

"In terms of underlying logic, peace ultimately boils down to four words: not worth the loss."

"But this is quite good. At least I enjoy this tranquility. Perhaps because I have memories of Prophet Civilization, I know the cruelty of this world even more. Although I am a Domain Warrior, to put it bluntly, that's all it is."

Qing Feng casually revealed the beginning of the War of Earthly Chaos.

Lingtong Pills... Chen Du hadn't expected this resource to trigger the war, but upon closer thought, it didn't seem wrong.

If it were truly a wild ultimate resource, then only a group of Domain Warriors would start fighting.

However, speaking of Lingkong Pills, Chen Du had a bad premonition.

He had obtained Lingkong Pills from the Egg God through an equivalent exchange at that time.

If a Sky Soaring Warrior was thrown into this thing, it could be exchanged for 3 Small Lingkong Pills.

Although he hadn't tried with Great Lingkong Pills, according to this setting, throwing an Advanced Aerial Warrior in should yield 3 Great Lingkong Pills.

"Senior Qing Feng."

Chen Du thought of something and asked, "Can you tell me where the resource known as Lingkong Pills comes from?"

"Any resource should have an origin, right?"

Perhaps because the answer to the second question was too brief, Qing Feng didn't nitpick and count it as the third question, but instead answered it as a related question:

"I don't know the origin of Lingkong Pills."

"Also, don't think that Prophet Civilization knows everything. There are countless resources in this world. Let alone knowing the origin of all these resources, it would be incredible to even recognize them all."

"Take the Star Core, for example; we don't know its purpose."

Chen Du nodded. In the Prophet Treasure Vault, there were indeed many resources marked as unknown or partially unknown at the time, so not knowing the origin wasn't strange.

If this resource were something else, it would be fine, but it just had to be Lingkong Pills?

This made Chen Du feel a strange sensation in his heart.

He had countless threads in his mind; now he needed a few nails to determine the general outline:

"When the War of Earthly Chaos occurred, did the Gloomy Land, Nether Land, and Phantom Land participate in the war?"

Qing Feng touched his head upon hearing this, as if deep in thought, then gave a firm answer a moment later:

"No."

"Regarding the War of Earthly Chaos, we Prophet Alien Race naturally avoided fighting. After all, what troubled us was the curse, so it was impossible for us to fight to the death over such things. We were fully capable of earning it back through knowledge."

"As for the Three Gloom Lands, I heard that before the War of Earthly Chaos began, they experienced an internal conflict, fighting amongst themselves first, which resulted in a large number of Sky Soaring Warrior and above-level powerhouses dying."

"Even the Domain Warriors were wiped out, so they naturally lost the qualifications to participate in this war."

"The result is as it is now: after countless powerhouses fell, the entire region has remained in a state of slump, unable to develop."

Chen Du narrowed his eyes upon hearing this and asked again:

"Did the internal strife in the Three Gloom Lands happen after you took the Star Core from the restricted area?"

"And was it after the Great Explosion?"

"Yes, that's right."

Qing Feng replied.

As expected... Chen Du had a faint, ominous premonition.

If it was truly as he thought, then the previous matter about the Level 35 restriction wasn't the work of the Annihilation Egg God!

The Prophet Alien Race taking the Star Core from the restricted area was the starting point of the incident. They used many methods and asked many people, but no one knew what the Star Core was or its specific purpose.

During this process, information about the Star Core was leaked.

However, this Alien Race, who knew the information, did not act against the Prophet Alien Race.

And the Star Core in the hands of the Prophet Alien Race remained safe and sound until they themselves lost it.

Chen Du believed there were two reasons.

Firstly, the Star Core in the hands of Prophet Civilization was too small to be useful; it was in a dispensable state.

Secondly, acting against Prophet Civilization to seize the Star Core would likely expose it completely, causing everyone to become curious about it and bring it fully to light.

And this Alien Race did not want people to know the purpose of the Star Core, so it chose not to have any contact with Prophet Civilization.

The reason Chen Du hypothesized such a new Alien Race enemy was because of the large number of Sky Soaring Warrior and above-level powerhouses who died in the Three Gloom Lands, coupled with the subsequent Sky-Falling Lingkong Pills.

To outsiders, these were two unrelated events.

But clearly, this was definitely an equivalent exchange!

Then, after this Alien Race obtained a large number of Lingkong Pills, it somehow caused a great explosion in the restricted area, leading to the spread of the Mist.

In fact, the source of the explosion was likely the Catalysis Mine, which would align with the record on Flying Sword no. 443 that Prophet Civilization indirectly triggered the War of Earthly Chaos.

And the Mist was merely a covering cloth, a secondary insurance.

The final War of Earthly Chaos was actually the least important, merely to hide the traces of what he had done.

The reason Chen Du made this inference was because there had always been a somewhat illogical point.

Previously, he believed that the Level 35 restriction was the work of the Annihilation Egg God, but upon closer thought, it seemed incorrect.

How could an Egg God who was prematurely eliminated and not fully developed achieve all this?

Now, through Qing Feng's description, combined with the information he possessed, Chen Du organized a new timeline.

That is, the Annihilation Egg God had already died before the War of Earthly Chaos!

Then, very quickly, a new Egg God appeared in the Underground, which was the Withering Egg God.

That person used a large number of Sky Soaring Warrior and above-level powerhouses to exchange for Lingkong Pills, thereby triggering the War of Earthly Chaos through the Sky-Falling Lingkong Pills.

And Sword Arrive Civilization did not disappear overnight like Heavenly Book Civilization; they migrated slowly, combining the contents of the two diaries.

It can be simply understood as Flying Sword No. 1 first saying, "I'll go ahead and scout the way above!"

Subsequently, Sword Arrive Civilization gradually left the Underground and witnessed the War of Earthly Chaos.

And this enemy, having done this series of things, probably had only one goal.

That is... to prevent the planet from upgrading!
