693: The Gate of Infinity

"Ahhh!"

You Ansi Ji screamed.

Chen Du suddenly attacked, pulling out the longsword embedded in You Ansi Ji’s body. Then, as if carving a starch sausage, he made a few more cuts:

"So, even a 'comprehension-based' translation couldn't make you understand, huh?"

"I'm asking you about your purpose for coming to the Underground, not why you're trapped here."

Chen Du said coldly.

The fact that You Ansi Ji could mention the Phantom Tracing Turtle meant he clearly knew the characteristics of this place. As a Great Civilization, it was impossible for him to inexplicably come to such a resource-scarce location.

While the infinite gravity stone was a resource, it couldn't have been his goal. Moreover, You Ansi Ji had said earlier that he had been trapped here for half a year without being able to leave.

This implied that he probably didn't know about the Myriad Flowers Civilization's recent experiences.

Of course, Chen Du also didn't know the Myriad Flowers Civilization's subsequent fate; perhaps it was destroyed like the Flying Serpent Civilization, or perhaps not.

With too little information, he didn't make wild conjectures.

However, he figured he would know about this matter by simply asking any Great Civilization or a Small Civilization closer to the Myriad Flowers Sector when he got outside.

The destruction of a Great Civilization couldn't be kept secret; the Flying Serpent Civilization was the same, but the news hadn't spread yet due to distance and other reasons.

"Damn it!"

"You, an ant from a Small Civilization, dare to do this to me!"

You Ansi Ji raged inwardly. Normally, these words would have burst out of him.

But his current situation was a 1v1, in an environment where no reinforcements could arrive, and Chen Du's strength was superior to his, causing him to not dare to act rashly.

"Star Core."

"I'm looking for a resource called a Star Core."

You Ansi Ji said indifferently, a hint of arrogance, like a muscle memory etched into his bones, on his face, as if to say, 'What's the point of me telling you? Can you even understand?'

Star Core?

Chen Du hadn't expected the other party to be looking for a Star Core.

"If you're looking for a Star Core, why aren't you going to the Forbidden Ground? What are you looking for in this outer area?"

"And what do you need Star Cores for? Don't tell me your Myriad Flowers Civilization wants to upgrade a planet."

"Hmph, if you're going to lie, at least make it more convincing."

"Do you think I don't know that once you enter the Forbidden Ground, you can never come out?"

"And what 'upgrading a planet'? If you don't know what a Star Core does, don't talk nonsense."

"This thing is a key, a key used to open the immeasurable gate inside the Icy Tendril Abyss, one of the Nine Forbidden Zones."

"This is one of the three Forbidden Grounds located underwater, something you Small Civilizations will never come into contact with in your entire lives. What's the point of knowing? It'll only bring you undue disaster."

You Ansi Ji said disdainfully. Even though he was impaled on the ground by Chen Du and 'COS-played' into a carved starch sausage, he remained arrogant.

Among the alien races Chen Du had encountered so far, this one, though only a Pu Clan member, was the most contemptuous of Small Civilizations. His status was likely not low, perhaps second only to one other.

But Chen Du wasn't concerned with that at the moment; instead, he was pondering the other party's words.

The other party knew the secret of the Star Core but didn't know that the Catalysis Mine where Star Cores were born was inside the Forbidden Ground?

He even thought Chen Du was trying to trick him into going in to die.

As for the key the other party mentioned, it now seemed that Star Cores were indeed not just for upgrading planets.

"That gate in the Icy Tendril Abyss?"

"What gate?"

"An unbreakable gate, the 'immeasurable gate'."

You Ansi Ji said proudly, as if it were his own front door.

"What's behind the immeasurable gate?"

"Also, why are you so sure the Star Core would be in the outer area?"

"And earlier, you said you were going to leave, meaning... you found it?"

Chen Du pressed directly. Although this You Ansi Ji looked down on Small Civilizations from the bottom of his heart, he was surprisingly easy to talk to.

Perhaps it was precisely this disdain that gave You Ansi Ji the mentality of, 'You're just an alien from a Small Civilization, what can you do even if you know these things?'

To put it bluntly, it was, 'Can you even handle it? What if I put it right in front of you?'

"How would I know what's behind the gate? Why don't you go open it and see for yourself?"

A naturally disdainful tone came from You Ansi Ji's mouth. After speaking, he suddenly realized he was in the role of a hostage, and to prevent further harm from Chen Du, he quickly continued:

"There must be something good behind the gate, otherwise why would our Myriad Flowers Civilization want to open it?"

"It's just that I'm not yet a Domain Warrior, so I'm temporarily not qualified to know."

"As for why the Star Core is here, that's naturally the information given to me by the Civilization. But don't you know, I actually found it!"

"But it's not the actual item, but its location, right at Gravity Cliff. There are infinite gravity stone, a local specialty of the Underground, there. However, there's a powerful guy there, but he seems to be trapped too."

"I used the unique sensory ability of our Banlangen Clan to discover and avoid him in advance, and now I'm planning to go back and get help."

Chen Du hadn't expected that a casual question would actually have an answer, and one that overlapped with his own goal.

Although You Ansi Ji's attitude was terrible, his contribution was quite significant. Chen Du even found him a little cute after looking at him for a while.

Since the Star Core was also at the location of the infinite gravity stone, whether it was true or not, he had to go there, and only this time.

Because leaving required the Phantom Tracing Turtle's guidance, which meant Chen Du could only enter once.

On the other hand, You Ansi Ji, after leaving, only needed to tell his companions the information. Then they could send someone who hadn't seen the Phantom Tracing Turtle.

This meant Chen Du had to face that powerful guy right now.

"However, I'm not planning to go back for reinforcements anymore. I'm going to kill you here, and then kill that guy at Gravity Cliff!"

"I wasn't planning to use it now."

"But as the saying goes, 'Man proposes, God disposes'!"

You Ansi Ji suddenly spoke, a sinister grin on his face.

His body Surface subtly writhed, revealing a hidden vine. The previous conversation was merely to distract Chen Du and conceal his actions.

You Ansi Ji understood that the other party wouldn't let him go, so he had been preparing for a counterattack.

All the information he told Chen Du was true, his purpose being to create that moment of Divided Soul in Chen Du.

With a "Pfft" sound, as a gush of blue blood sprayed out, a purple invitation card was abruptly pulled from his body:

"Activate Challenge!"

But the next second, You Ansi Ji's confident face suddenly panicked, filled with disbelief:

"How is this possible!"

"How can there be no reaction? Isn't this thing supposed to be usable in any scenario?"

"Its power is absolute; nothing should be able to block its power. This place only makes one lose direction!"

"Perhaps, there truly is no power that can stop it."

Chen Du suddenly spoke, his demeanor calm.

What!

He knows this thing?

Chen Du's composure instantly made You Ansi Ji understand something.

No wonder he knew my name. This guy has also been to the Martial Warrior Level Challenge Zone; he saw my name on the tombstone!

His ranking is definitely above mine!

No wonder he's so strong!

At this moment, the small doubt in You Ansi Ji's heart was resolved.

But even if he knew, what then? Weren't the conditions for using this invitation card 'anytime, anywhere'?

He had originally planned to use the rewards inside to directly level up to 30, then come out and complete the counter-kill. How could it have turned out like this!

"Why, why in the world!?"

After losing his last resort, You Ansi Ji roared.

Chen Du responded, as if paying homage to the information the other party had given earlier:

"Because you've never used it. You're in the dream I created."

"From the first moment I saw you, you were already in it."
