700: The time doesn't match

"Legend?"

"Chaos?"

Chen Du murmured these two words.

Qingshe didn't know if it was the wisdom of a dying man or if he wanted Chen Du to feel future despair and spend his remaining time in anxiety. He said:

"Legend has it that the Nine Forbidden Zones are not treasure troves at all, but nine Monarch-level Civilizations that transcend Overlord-level Civilizations!"

"And the so-called Forbidden Ground is only so to us; in reality, it's their main base."

"However, this has always been considered a rumor, because these Monarch-level Civilizations have never appeared. Since there has been any record, Overlord-level Civilizations have been the strongest."

"I always thought Monarch-level Civilizations were nonsense, but now it seems there might be some truth to it."

"Otherwise, who else could annihilate a Level 35, the current combat power ceiling of this world, besides the present Overlord-level Civilizations?"

"No wonder the former Overlord-level Civilizations couldn't fully explore the Forbidden Ground back then."

"According to legend, these nine Monarch-level Civilizations each possess world-destroying power."

"But for some unknown reason, they have never appeared. We can only assume they were Sealed. As for who Sealed them and why, no one knows."

"At the same time, no alien race has ever discovered any so-called Monarch-level Civilization during their exploration of the Nine Forbidden Zones."

"If the information you've provided is accurate, then it proves the legend is true: the Nine Forbidden Zones are the main bases of the nine Monarch-level Civilizations!"

"Since the Flying Serpent Civilization was destroyed, it means their Seal has begun to lift!"

"Once they emerge, all current structures will be annihilated!"

"No matter how strong you are, you won't be able to defeat a Monarch-level Civilization."

"For the rest of your days, you'll just be counting down..."

Bang!

Qingshe's body fell heavily to the Surface. His voice stopped there; he died before he could finish his sentence.

His Life Strength was completely exhausted at that moment.

Chen Du stood silently in place, his brows slightly furrowed.

After a moment of thought, he decided to destroy the body first. Although the Flying Serpent Civilization had already been destroyed, he didn't want to leave behind a body that had undergone Star Core Fusion.

Chen Du's previous statement that the entire Flying Serpent Civilization died in the Land of Dusk Death was a guess he had deduced from countless pieces of information, but now it seemed he had guessed correctly.

And he also learned an incredible secret.

Monarch-level Civilization!

Just by hearing the name, one knew that this Civilization was terrifyingly powerful.

It was a Civilization tier that transcended Overlord-level Civilizations.

And there were nine such Civilizations!

Even Chen Du, who was very confident in himself, felt an inexplicable pressure at this moment.

Although it couldn't be fully confirmed as true, the possibility was very high.

From this perspective, the difficulty of the coffin in the Land of Dusk Death, which he would need to open in the future, would be unbelievably immense.

From the current information, Qingshe first discovered the Star Core in the Land of Dusk Death, but given that the Star Core was still in his hands, he likely did not report it and chose to keep it for himself.

Then, Qingshe probably discovered some treasure trove but lacked the strength to acquire it, so he chose to return.

Just like You Ansi Ji before him, he chose to go back and gather people.

From the subsequent actions, where almost all the Domain Warriors of the Flying Serpent Civilization were dispatched, Qingshe must have discovered something extraordinary.

What it was, Chen Du had no clue, but it was very likely an ultimate resource, yet extremely difficult to obtain.

Finally, the Flying Serpent Civilization formed an expeditionary force, led by a Level 35 leader.

From the information currently available, this expeditionary force likely did not want pseudo-Domain Warriors, which is why Qingshe was excluded.

The final result was, of course, a disastrous defeat, leading to the death of all the Civilization's experts.

This event became the fundamental reason for the destruction of the Flying Serpent Civilization.

As for Qingshe himself, he died too quickly, and Chen Du didn't know why he came to the Underground.

If one considers his concealment of the Star Core, the subsequent development would normally involve Qingshe investigating and tracking the Star Core.

Because the Catalysis Mine was in the Underground, and within the Primordial Mine Forbidden Ground, Qingshe tracked it all the way here.

According to the timeline, Qingshe arrived in the Underground a step earlier than You Ansi Ji.

And Chen Du's first entry into the Underground was probably after both of them.

It was then that these two guys were trapped in the outer zone.

At least You Ansi Ji was, while Qingshe was hiding here, secretly developing.

As for whether the Star Core You Ansi Ji was looking for was the one in Qingshe's hand, Chen Du couldn't be sure.

Currently, it seems this metal called Star Core only exists as one piece, one core, one item; in short, its unit is singular.

This means it was originally a single entity, and now, the corn-sized Star Core in his hand, as well as the fingernail-sized Star Core brought out by the Prophet Civilization back then, are all its fragments.

It appears that after the baptism of time, these Star Core fragments have scattered everywhere.

Additionally, Chen Du had something else he was quite concerned about.

That was the lifting of the Seal that the other party mentioned.

If the Monarch-level Civilizations were truly Sealed, the only Seal Chen Du could think of was the Level 35 restriction.

But the time this restriction appeared was after the Annihilation Egg God died.

Before that, the so-called Monarch-level Civilizations had never appeared.

Also, Qingshe mentioned the Seal gradually lifting.

But when Chen Du heard the news of the Flying Serpent Civilization's destruction, his Mental Energy had not yet reached Level 36!

"So all of this has nothing to do with me, right?"

Chen Du murmured. He had indeed broken through the Level 35 restriction.

But if the Seal was loosened because of him, the timing didn't match.

"Were all my previous guesses wrong?"

"The timing of these events doesn't seem to align."

"The general logic can't be wrong; something must be missing."

"Is that Seal unrelated to the Level 35 restriction?"

Chen Du shook his head, feeling completely clueless, and then signaled himself to temporarily put this matter aside.

Afterward, Chen Du first followed his original plan, jumped off Gravity Cliff, and obtained an infinite gravity stone as required by the Star Island Civilization's mission.

After descending, he discovered that the ground was covered in infinite gravity stones, like trash thrown everywhere. No wonder they were worthless in the Underground; there were so many.

However, most of them had expired from disuse, turning into ordinary stones.

Chen Du carefully selected and found 101 infinite gravity stones below.

One was naturally for the mission, and the remaining 100 were to be brought back to the High Martial Civilization to create something similar to Gravity Mountain for training.

Although it wasn't of great use to Sky Soaring Warriors, for Quasi-Warriors, Martial Artists, and Advanced Martial Artists, its effect was no less than some resources that enhance Life Strength.

Next, Chen Du was supposed to light the incense as planned, but now he didn't intend to.

As the saying goes, plans change... Chen Du followed Qingfeng's description to a certain location.

This place was like the East African Rift Valley, with a deep, endless gully shrouded in white Mist.

The ground was filled with countless weapons, and below were carved various languages and scripts of different alien races.

Although it was his first time here, Chen Du understood that this was the dividing line between the Primordial Mine Forbidden Ground and the outer zone.

Although no one could do anything about the white Mist of this Forbidden Ground except for those two Civilizations, his Level 40 Mental Energy was now unique.

Looking at the white Mist in front, almost identical to the one beside him, Chen Du focused his Mental Energy into a single point. He wanted to see if he could penetrate the Forbidden Ground's Mist!
