689: Gather the glory in one

“I originally intended to tell you about Yao Wangjing’s abilities first.”

“But unfortunately, from the perspective of countless Prophet Alien Race victims, they were basically instantly killed. Even Rank 28 ones, even if they were 4 Ranks higher, couldn’t win.”

“On one hand, the opponent was too strong. On the other hand, our Prophet Alien Race was indeed too weak. With the enemy strong and us weak, the gap naturally became large.”

“So, there is very little useful information about Yao Wangjing’s abilities, or to be precise, only one thing.”

“He can use a black cage-like ability to envelop all enemies within a certain range, preventing them from escaping. This is why no one from the Prophet Civilization survived.”

“This is not a Domain, nor is it an exclusive ability of any race. In short, we’ve never heard of it, but it has the same 30% suppression effect as a Domain!”

“Precisely because of this, our already poor quality became even worse!”

“Not only that, from the information I have, only by killing Yao Wangjing can one leave this black cage.”

“This means that once he targets you, it’s impossible to escape without killing him.”

“The final outcome was without any suspense; all Prophet Civilizations in the Prophet Circle were annihilated.”

Chen Du nodded and said, “Did all the other Alien Races just stand by and watch?”

“From my perspective, your Prophet Civilization should have quite a few allies, right?”

Qingfeng shook his head:

“We do have allies, but in reality, almost all of Prophet Civilization’s allies are new ones like me, Alien Races who have become Domain Warriors.”

“And I am the leader of the Green Bottle Civilization; I can’t be in the Prophet Circle every day. Most of my time is spent in my own civilization.”

“There are indeed people from our Green Bottle Civilization in the Prophet Circle, but they are only in the outer regions, and their Ranks are not high. This isn’t surveillance, but rather to do some work for the friendly coexistence of the two civilizations.”

“So, most of the time, the Prophet Circle doesn’t have Domain Warriors, but normally, no Alien Race would cause trouble.”

“That day, Yao Wangjing suddenly attacked, enveloping the area where the Prophet Alien Race lived and the Question Chamber.”

“The Alien Races outside initially had no idea what was happening. Later, when they saw the slaughter, they also tried to break the cage, but unfortunately, this thing could not be destroyed from the outside or by force.”

“Of course, it’s also possible that those people didn’t have enough power.”

“In short, the tragedy happened just like that.”

“Later, Yao Wangjing left as silently as he came.”

I and several other Domain Warriors came here several times, but unfortunately, we found no clues. I didn’t come today to find anything.

More than that, it’s a form of remembrance, so I chased away all the guys who entered this place trying to pick up treasures. I didn’t expect to meet you.

Chen Du nodded again. He didn’t say much, and his expression remained unchanged.

Black cage?

A suppression effect similar to a Domain?

And it seems to be indestructible from both inside and out. It sounds a bit like the Go Board ability of Duan Wushuang from the Dire Wolf Civilization.

However, that thing was 1v1, while this is 1vN.

He hadn't seen this ability when he fought against the Eternal Tree before.

If there was suppression, the opponent couldn’t possibly not use it at that time.

Either this is an inherent ability of the Heavenly Phoenix Alien Race, or it’s a new ability formed after their Body Integration.

But when it comes to abilities, Chen Du felt it didn’t matter how they worked.

Among the Alien Races he had fought, the strongest ability should be the Withering ability of the Withering Egg God. Let's call it 'Withering of All Things' for now. It was basically an unsolvable ability, but it didn't kill Chen Du either.

Abilities are like tools, serving people. The specific effect depends on the user. The black cage might not be as unsolvable as it seemed, it just appeared very unsolvable in the eyes of the Prophet Civilization.

“His Martial Skill level reached River Severing 70% at Rank 24, terrifying to the point of suffocation!”

“And Yao Wangjing has an extremely strong murderous intent. He didn’t have a clear purpose in killing the Prophet Civilization; he just purely found them an eyesore.”

“He had no interest in our Prophet Treasure Vault; he even destroyed many of our resources.”

Chen Du’s eyes narrowed slightly upon hearing this.

A Martial Skill of River Severing 70% at Rank 24?

In terms of Martial Skill level alone, he had already surpassed the Black Dragon King of the same period.

As for destroying a civilization just because it was an eyesore, this is a common problem among Overlord-level Civilizations.

Whether it was a former Overlord-level Civilization or a current Overlord-level Civilization, from their perspective, such behavior is probably as normal as eating three meals a day.

“Yao Wangjing’s goal is to ‘gather glory upon himself’.”

Qingfeng knew limited information about Yao Wangjing himself, so after speaking, he directly stated the opponent’s goal.

“Gather glory upon himself?”

“What does that mean?”

Chen Du repeated the question.

“I don’t know.”

Qingfeng said seriously:

“To Yao Wangjing, our Prophet Civilization was nothing but ants. How could he explain it in such detail to us? He just got carried away with killing, occasionally took an interest, and mentioned it in passing.”

“Although we don’t know, we are not completely without information, as we are, after all, the Prophet Civilization.”

“The glory here refers to Overlord-level Civilizations.”

“Overlord-level Civilizations?”

“Yes, Overlord-level Civilizations, but not the current Overlord-level Civilizations, but the former Overlord-level Civilizations.”

“That is, the Black Dragon Civilization, the Sky Phoenix Civilization, and the Qilin Civilization!”

“He will gather the power of these three upon himself alone!”

“Although I don’t know exactly what he wants to do, this guess should be correct, because he has already displayed the form of the Heavenly Phoenix Alien Race!”

Chen Du’s expression remained unchanged. There was a knowledge gap here.

That is, the Prophet Alien Race Underground did not know that what attacked them was a Body Integration of the eternal tree and the Heavenly Phoenix Alien Race.

However, this was normal. The eternal tree is the only existence in this world that evolved from an eternal tree.

There had been no precedent before this.

Chen Du still couldn’t be sure whether he was a resource with an independent will or a pure Alien Race.

If he were a resource, in terms of prestige, he should be at the ultimate resource level, but his own strength was not enough, and his behavior was more like an Alien Race.

He had developed for a long time yet still progressed slowly. This might be a characteristic of him as a tree, but after Body Integration with Yao Wangjing, this development speed would likely skyrocket.

The reason Durags knew about this knowledge gap was because of Chen Du’s report, which connected the two events.

As for Qingfeng and the others, they didn’t know about this monster, not even the Prophet Civilization. Without a precedent, no one had seen it except those who encountered it.

Although the conclusion the opponent drew was not entirely correct, Chen Du agreed with the general direction of the answer.

After all, from a series of events, the Eternal Tree’s body indeed seemed to be like glue, possessing the property of Fusion.

But the problem is… where would he get the power of the Black Dragon Civilization and the Qilin Civilization?
