686: The third question
Based on their interests, Chen Du had previously always assumed that the Annihilation Egg God was the one preventing the planet from upgrading, as only he wouldn't want the planet to upgrade.
However, the deaths of the powerhouses in the Three Gloom Lands and the appearance of Skysoaring Pills from the sky all pointed to the emergence of a new Egg God, thereby confirming that the Annihilation Egg God was already dead.
Therefore, the Annihilation Egg God couldn't have done these things, which is why Chen Du believed that the Level 35 limit had nothing to do with him.
He had thought it was some kind of outburst after the Egg God's death, but now it seems that this limit did indeed appear after his death, though the instigator is probably someone else.
And only an Energy Lifeform would know about the planet's upgrade, not want it to happen, and do such a thing.
Based on the information Chen Du currently possessed, it seemed there was only one entity capable of this.
That is the Energy Lifeform!
Cao Daba and his accomplices!
Their answer at the time was that it was 'short by a few pounds,' so Cao Daba might not have been unfamiliar with the Star Core; he just pretended not to know it, which amounted to giving Chen Du some information.
As for why the Energy Lifeform feared the planet's upgrade, Chen Du believed it still came down to profit.
He guessed that after the planet upgraded, the buffs received by locals would definitely be greater than those received by outsiders, which would undoubtedly increase the difficulty for the Energy Lifeform to carry out various missions on Blue Star.
So they destroyed the Catalysis Mine.
To verify this guess, he would have to see the Catalysis Mine with his own eyes, but the Catalysis Mine was in a Forbidden Ground.
Chen Du currently had no confidence in getting out; the method he obtained from the Star Island Civilization for exiting was only effective in the outer perimeter.
Although he had infinite lifespan, he couldn't accept being lost indefinitely inside.
The only possibility was to ask the Undead Civilization or the Shan Hai Civilization.
Coincidentally, his next destination was the Primordial Mine; although the destination wasn't a Forbidden Ground, he might encounter these alien races there.
While they might not speak, he could use force to coerce them, so the key was to encounter them!
Almost instantly, Chen Du understood all this, and then he put these events in his mind into a self-constructed sequence, which was not for this event, but for the entire world's timeline.
â‘ During the Overlord-level Civilization period, a battle occurred with the Energy Lifeform, the Overlord-level Civilization won, and the Energy Lifeform was Sealed, which was the Horn War.
â‘¡ The Sword Arrive Civilization had begun to arrive on the Surface one after another and teamed up with other alien races to crusade against the Annihilation Egg God; the final result was the death of the Annihilation Egg God, the specific fate of the crusading team was unknown, but Flying Sword No. 1 did not die.
â‘¢ A new Egg God appeared, and the suspected mastermind behind the Energy Lifeform began to lay out plans, hindering the planet's upgrade, and the Level 35 limit appeared.
â‘£ During the New Overlord Civilization period, this period was somewhat similar to a transition period, the old king died, and the new king took over; this period was considered a peaceful time compared to before, and the strongest person of an unknown alien race emerged.
⑤ Now, the first Great Civilization to be destroyed, the Flying Serpent Civilization, appeared, and his Mental Energy Breakthrough to Level 36 broke some kind of limit.
Although nothing seemed to have happened yet, Chen Du knew that undercurrents were already stirring; if he didn't improve his strength now, only destruction would await him and his civilization!
This timeline was a very rough timeline, a framework that only recorded major events, with countless minor events before and after each major event.
And this information, in addition to giving Chen Du the above information, also led to two guesses; however, these two guesses had no actual basis, but they couldn't be considered pure guesses either.
The first guess was: The alien races of the Shan Hai Civilization can freely enter and exit that Mist, so normally, the alien races of the Shan Hai Civilization should recognize the Star Core.
Recognizing here doesn't necessarily mean knowing its purpose; it could just mean having seen it and knowing it exists.
And Lu Li, who pushed the Door of Ending in the Land of Finality before, Chen Du suspected he was the wind in nature.
The Shan Hai Civilization is very small in number, and their essence is all Natural Lifeforms; each alien race of the Shan Hai Civilization corresponds to a natural phenomenon.
The reason Chen Du thought of him now was because Qingfeng's description of the Star Core, in terms of appearance, was very close to gold.
Is there a possibility that the phrase "Greedy Ghost likes gold" was wrong at the time?
Lu Li didn't like gold, but the Star Core?
During the Sky Soaring Warrior stage, he could still go to the Land of Finality once to challenge; he wondered if he could still encounter Lu Li.
That place is very mysterious; if the god of ending is also an Egg God, why would he set up this thing on Blue Star?
Was he trying to compete with his colleagues, or what?
Chen Du was completely unable to fathom this level of life; he could only act based on his existing power.
In any case, Chen Du would enter the Lingkong Martial Warrior Level Challenge Zone in the Land of Finality again before Level 30.
The rewards there were very interesting, it was the only place where information could be directly obtained.
If he could still see the Door of Ending then, and the gatekeeper was still Lu Li, he might be able to learn about the Catalysis Mine from him.
Of course, the premise was to bring some gold, but this stuff isn't valuable, especially Underground, it's easy to get.
Not only that, Chen Du was also very interested in the first place in the Sky Soaring Warrior Challenge Zone.
But he also feared death, so he had to enter in his strongest state!
The rewards for around 3000th place in that place were already exaggerated; if he got first place, the rewards would be unimaginable!
The second guess was: Chen Du had always believed that the sudden disappearance of the Heavenly Book Civilization was related to the Sword Arrive Civilization.
This guess at the time was due to suspecting that the Heavenly Book Civilization's purpose in going to the Surface was the same as the Sword Arrive Civilization's, but now it seems that's probably not the case.
Neither of the Sword Arrive alien race's two diaries mentioned anything, not even a little, related to the Heavenly Book Civilization.
The reason the Heavenly Book Civilization had always been remembered by Chen Du was because it was related to the Crystal Space, just like the first wave of monsters, Bibi Wolf.
But Bibi Wolf lived in the spiritual realm; moreover, Chen Du didn't find anything different about him when he entered the Forest of Wolves back then, though it might have been because he was too weak at the time.
What if the Heavenly Book Civilization was also like that?
Chen Du currently had three guesses about the Heavenly Book Civilization.
First, it was like Bibi Wolf, a creature from the spiritual realm, but for some unknown reason, it came out.
Second, it was indeed related to the Sword Arrive Civilization; as for what the relationship was, he didn't know, the reason being that the Heavenly Book Civilization Yan Yun encountered, after stealing his things, ran towards the direction of Sword Arrive; of course, it might have just been on the way.
Third, and this was a new idea today, the Heavenly Book Civilization was related to the Energy Lifeform!
Or a certain Heavenly Book Civilization was Possessed by an Energy Lifeform!
However, about these matters, asking Qingfeng probably wouldn't yield any answers; although they inherited memories, their observations were limited, and they could only ask three questions, with related ones counting as one.
If an unrelated question was directly counted as the third question later, it would be awkward, and Chen Du currently couldn't see the practical significance of these matters.
He could only say they were related to himself.
So, the down-to-earth Chen Du, after instantly understanding these things, asked:
"Third question."
"I want to know information about the blue crystal inside the Primordial Mine!"
