704: He accurately predicted the future

Paradise Plate, one of the Nine Forbidden Zones.

Cloudfall Skyriver.

A figure sat cross-legged in an indescribable darkness, a darkness that exuded an eerie aura everywhere. Here, even if an unmentionable creature walked out the next second, it wouldn't feel strange at all.

“System: Little Wang, are you sure you want to upgrade the System in this godforsaken place?”

“If you don't give me a clear reason, I won't start the upgrade process. You should know that during the upgrade, I will fall into a deep sleep and be unable to exert any power. In this environment, you are essentially sentencing yourself to death.”

Wang Dadi, sitting cross-legged in the darkness, was almost completely enveloped by it, with only one eye and a hand vaguely visible. His hand was tightly clenched, seemingly holding something important.

Although his body didn't feel any corrosive danger, that unique icy sensation, similar to death, always lingered.

“Wang Dadi: I believe the message sent by the person named Lin Xun.”

“He said this location called ‘Underworld Shore’ is safe. Of course, it’s only safe for this period, but it's enough for your upgrade.”

“System: You trust this person named Lin Xun that much?”

“If I remember correctly, this is the first time you've mentioned this name. Are you very familiar with him? Or does he have some unique ability?”

“Wang Dadi: Very familiar? I’m seeing this name for the first time too!”

“System: ???”

“Wang Dadi: Although I don’t know him, that’s not important. What’s important is that he actually knows about you.”

“You know, even though I might seem a bit exaggerated, I’ve absolutely never told anyone about the System. At most, I just shout a few times to add points!”

“But he not only knows of your existence but also knows that you will become the Deep Blue version after upgrading.”

The System remained silent, simply pondering, seemingly using its unique computing power to try and find information about this person named Lin Xun.

“Wang Dadi: However, even so, I only believed half of it. After all, there are no airtight walls in the world, and maybe I really did leak something.”

“But in the message just now, Lin Xun not only revealed your existence but also revealed the location where you plan to upgrade next!”

“Even I just found out about this matter.”

“According to his description, during your upgrade, I would encounter an attack from the Overlord-level Civilization, the Hengshuang Aliens. Although I would eventually escape death after a long time.”

“But because of that time, I couldn't rush back in time, ultimately leading to the destruction of the Eighth Ecological Zone where I live. So now I have to speed up your upgrade.”

“Additionally, the timing of this message being edited and scheduled for sending is too bizarre. It was prepared the day before I turned 18.”

“And at that time, I hadn't even obtained the System!”

“Considering all the above information, I have to admit, this stranger named Lin Xun accurately predicted the future!”

After a few seconds of mutual silence between the man and the System, Wang Dadi suddenly felt the object he was tightly gripping disappear from his palm.

Immediately after, a spherical cover suddenly enveloped Wang Dadi, with ripple-like patterns resembling charging water flowing across its Surface.

“Wang Dadi: This is…?”

“System: This is Dual Sleep Mode. It will speed up the System upgrade by 50%, but both of us will fall asleep. This mode can only be used in an absolutely safe environment.”

“Since you trust him so much, I’ll trust you this once.”

“System Version 2.0, Deep Blue Version, Upgrade!”

As the System spoke the word “upgrade,” both of them simultaneously fell into a deep sleep.

In the endless darkness, no one could see a white progress bar above Wang Dadi’s head.

0%... 0.000001... 0.000002... One hundred thousand meters Underground.

Taiji Bahuang Territory, Primordial Mine, within the Forbidden Land.

Chen Du was walking through this Mist, which was said to be impossible to escape from.

Although he had the Eye of Illusion, it didn't mean he could see everything clearly here.

Only within the range of his pure eyesight, the white Mist disappeared. This eyesight was not mixed with Domain or Mental Energy.

But even so, it was clearer than focusing Mental Energy on a single point in the outer areas.

Chen Du had two destinations for this trip.

First, the Catalysis Mine. Since the Prophet Civilization could obtain Star Cores from it, this place must have some connection to that spirit, which is the Star Core Alien.

Furthermore, Chen Du himself had speculated that the large explosion within the Primordial Mine was the Catalysis Mine. Now he could verify it.

Second, that blue crystal, which was said to be absolutely unapproachable, with a mechanism that allowed one to look but not touch. Chen Du wanted to try if his current self could break this mechanism.

The Prophet Civilization had been to both of these places, so they were in Qingfeng's memory. And previously, during the other party's narration, Chen Du had roughly memorized the directions.

With infinite lifespan and the Eye of Illusion he now possessed, he would definitely find them; it was only a matter of time.

As for the only two civilizations that could walk here, the Undead Civilization and the Shan Hai Civilization, Chen Du wasn't too worried.

There was almost no news of them outside, which meant that these two alien races were 99.99% likely to be staying a million meters Underground.

Since Chen Du wasn't going a million meters Underground, he naturally wouldn't encounter them.

The reason for saying 99.99% was because of the Glowing White Cat he encountered a long time ago.

Combining the information he had gathered so far, Chen Du suspected that the Glowing White Cat might be the Shan Hai Civilization, representing light, and also the Ancient Beast that the Botao Civilization had been searching for.

They hadn't found it for so many years, which showed how reclusive the Shan Hai Civilization or Undead Civilization were.

The greatest use of this information for Chen Du at the moment was that the probability of encountering these two civilizations in the Forbidden Land's Mist was extremely low!

Plus, over the years, there had been many intruders here. If one thought about it differently:

Apart from those two civilizations, no other alien race had ever left here, which meant that no resources had ever been taken from here!

The Undead Civilization and the Shan Hai Civilization hadn't shown themselves, which indicated that they most likely weren't interested in these resources.

And in a sense, he was the first pioneer from the outside world!

Shouldn't he just plunder it to the brim?

“Hmm?”

Chen Du, who was moving forward, suddenly stopped. Within his line of sight, a giant alien, either dead or alive, was lying on the ground, blocking his path.

This alien's height was estimated to be several hundred meters, the largest alien Chen Du had seen Underground.

“Interesting, to see a Giant Civilization here, and a Giant alien race other than those three.”

“Titan Giant!”

Chen Du narrowed his eyes slightly and said faintly.

(I read almost every comment. I want to make this book as free of plot holes as possible, but that's impossible. I can only eliminate the major ones. Fortunately, the plot holes in this book are relatively concentrated! I just revised chapters 49, 50, and 51. There's a note saying 'Revised Version 2.0'. I changed it so that Chen Du didn't refuse but directly agreed to the Qilin's contract, but there was a small mix-up in the middle because I needed supporting characters to provide some world information. Those interested can take a look.)
