?Chapter 1120: 345. Starry Sky Ry_2
“No, it is not, it has never even had its own ne Year.” the Assassin Angel said:
“This ne Core has never possessed the Fire of St. Din; it has always been a weak existence wandering in the Barren Universe. When the Supreme Star Pce was established, the Star God once invited it to join, but it was rejected.
“Not all ne Cores desire to possess the Fire of St. Din. They know that after acquiring this item, their dominion will eventuallye to an end, so they never intended to possess it from the beginning; they only thought of leeching off its radiance as much as possible to prolong their feeble existence.”
Nnd Lee slowly nodded:
“For a weak ne Core, this should be an excellent choice.”
“Exactly.” the Assassin Angel said: <div>
...
“Such a ne Core treats all life creatures within the Inner Cosmos as expendables, ready to be abandoned at any time. It is the same with the Alchemy Cathedral, and so it is with the Ultimate Physique, the ne Core behind the Tatis Empire.”
Nnd Lee asked:
“‘Ultimate Physique’?”
“Yes, that is its name, a ne Core that pursues the ultimate physical power.” the Assassin Angel said:
“Because it pursues strong physiques excessively, during many ne Years in the past, it has been targeted numerous times by other ne Cores that feed on flesh as food. This includes the ne Cores behind both the Gatherer of the Dead and the Gatherer of Corpses.”
“That really is coincidental… The Gatherer of the Dead is about to descend upon thend of ‘Ultimate Physique’ again.” Nnd Lee gave a wry smile:
“It feels like the rtionships of mutual generation and restraint among ne Cores seem to have been determined from the moment they appeared. Just what are ne Cores, and how did theye into existence?”
“This is actually a question the Star God is exploring.” the Assassin Angel said:
“Not just Him, His Superior God-power Deities have also been troubled by this question. Perhaps this is also one of the reasons why the Star God has implemented the Star-disc n. If the total number of ne Coreses to a halt at some point in the future, we might have the hope of unraveling the secret of the ne Core’s origins.”
After saying this, the Assassin Angel fell silent, seemingly recalling the past.
Nnd Lee patted off the dust he had picked up from the streetmp, stood up straight, and walked towards the hotel where Denise Green was located.
Halfway there, after much contemtion, Nnd Lee still decided to give Morster a heads-up to be extra vignt about what would happen seven dayster.
Hopefully, doing so could, as much as possible, prevent the catastrophe that the Land of Resurgence would suffer after the arrival of the Pollution Zone.
During the following six days, Nnd Lee made all preparations for his journey into the Pollution Zone.
He had Nolin mass produce Mechanos on Ind 33 and secretlymissioned Selena to procure arge number of magic scrolls.
All of this was to ensure he could sessfully meet the Corpse Essence of the Gatherer of the Dead andpletely annihte it.
Beyond the necessary preparations, Nnd Lee also found time to chat with the Dusk Giants who were far away in the “Bustling Tunnel,” understanding their recent situation.
Based on the decision reached between Nnd Lee and the Dusk Giants, after helping thetter move to the “Bustling Tunnel,” the Dusk Giants owed Nnd Lee a favor, which they needed to repay.
Previously, the Dusk Giants wanted to help Nnd Lee break the First Fate Shackle.
But after understanding the drawback from the Assassin Angel, Nnd Lee tactfully refused the Dusk Giants’ offer.
The Assassin Angel proposed that, after the Dusk Giants sessfully left the Inner Cosmos, they would meet Nnd Lee in Outer Space.
This proposal was sensible and seemed feasible.
Nnd Lee ryed it to the Dusk Giants.
After some discussion, they confirmed a preliminary n.
Before the “Bustling Tunnel” was closed, the Dusk Giants had to construct their own Sub-Dimensional ne and, with the help of the “Giant” ne Core, move to the Barren Universe.
Once they left the Inner Cosmos, the Dusk Giants could begin attempting to enter Outer Space from the Barren Universe.
This step was extremely difficult.
The Assassin Angel could not describe the specific difficulties to Nnd Lee, only mentioning that a slight mishap in that ce could lead to encountering “Broken Dimension,” after which they would be devoured by the Extraterrestrial Eternity beyond the universe.
Simply put, entering Outer Space from the Barren Universe was akin to navigating a three-dimensional maze.
The walls, ceiling, and floor of the maze wereposed of the “Broken Dimension” where the Extraterrestrial Eternity lurked.
The Dusk Giants might spend a dozen or even a hundred years navigating out of the maze-like barren universe to enter outer space.
If he cannot root the “Giant” ne Core in outer space and develop at least a star system-level cosmic strength before Nnd Lee leaves the inner cosmos, there’s no chance he could rendezvous with Nnd.
This is undoubtedly an extremely arduous task.
Nheless, the Dusk Giant still ns to give it a try.
“At most three months, I’ll leave the inner cosmos,” the voice of the Dusk Giant wafted from the pendant and into Nnd’s mind:
“The ‘Giant’ ne Core will move to the edge of outer space while I prepare to leave the inner cosmos. The light of the Fire of St. Dn that I’ve been feeding it these few days has already helped it recover a portion of its vitality.”
“Aren’t you nning to go to the underground depths to search for the Fire of St. Dn anymore?” Nnd asked.
The Dusk Giant sighed heavily:
“No. In the past, under the rule of the Patriarchal Giant, I was just an ordinary Dusk Giant, with no opportunity to know about the existence of the ne Core. But now that I have seen the ne Core behind our n, I have learned many ancient truths from it. I know clearly what I should do now. Possessing the Fire of St. Dn is not a good thing for a n like ours that has already been defeated in history.”
The Dusk Giant uttered a remark with a sigh:
“We should also thank the good deeds of the Dragon n. If it weren’t for the breach they created in the Star Pce Barrier that allowed the ne Cores in outer space and the barren universe to establish a direct channel to the inner cosmos, the ‘Giant’ ne Core wouldn’t have been able to absorb the light of the Fire of St. Dn. So sometimes I think that perhaps maintaining the status quo is not a bad thing.”
For those ne Cores in the barren universe, that is indeed the case.
The wed Star Pce Barrier, while keeping powerful ne Cores out from upying the Fire of St. Dn, has also allowed the ne Cores of outer space and the barren universe to absorb the light.
Although this is an unintentional byproduct created by the Dragon n, it is a condition that suits the interests of many ne Cores.
However, this situation may notst too long.
In outer space, those cosmic forces with constetion-level strength each have the potential topletely destroy the Star Pce Barrier.
Given some time to further open gaps in outer space and absorb the light of the Fire of St. Dn from the inner cosmos, their respective ne Cores will recover rapidly.
In not too long, Extraordinary beings with strengthparable to deities will reemerge in outer space, forming a cosmic cluster that can traverse through ck holes and fully conquer the inner cosmos, seizing the Fire of St. Dn.
This process will be even shorter than Nnd had imagined.
Take the Dragon n as an example, the White Ancestral Dragon has been guarding the Spinning Continent secretly manipting the living creatures of the “Wizard” world for a thousand years.
The amount of the Fire of St. Din’s light it supplies to the “Dragon” ne Core is as vast as the ocean.
If the next world-ending catastrophe still cannot utterly destroy the Spinning Continent, driving all dragons out of the inner cosmos, then the Dragon n will be the first extraordinary race to birth a divine dragon god, and then they will attack the inner cosmos.
The good news is, the White Ancestral Dragon has never gotten along with the Metal Ancestral Dragon.
They may fight amongst themselves over who will lead the Dragon n.
A thousand years ago, the White Ancestral Dragon took the lead in building the “Dragon Slumber Tower.” Back then, the Metal Ancestral Dragon was just a borer” working under the White Ancestral Dragon.
When the apocalypse struck, the Metal Ancestral Dragon fled the scene on its own, causing a breach in the tower’s defenses, which led to the catastrophic casualties of the Dragon n.
This contradiction, which nearly annihted the Dragon n, will not be resolved just because the Metal Ancestral Dragon returns to the inner cosmos to apologize to the White Ancestral Dragon.
The Assassin Angel had made it clear earlier that he would prevent the Metal Ancestral Dragon from entering the Spinning Continent in order to stop any chance for reconciliation between it and the White Ancestral Dragon.
“As long as the Metal Ancestral Dragon appears within several thousand kilometers around the Spinning Continent, I’ll be able to sense its presence. That’s why I wanted you to leave Nicolette in the Suman Archipgo.”
The Assassin Angel said:
“However, what the Dusk Giant mentioned just now about his ne Core behind him desiring to settle for the status quo gave me an idea.”
Nnd concluded his conversation with the Dusk Giant and put away the pendant, asking in his mind:
“An idea? What idea?”
The Assassin Angel said:
“Maybe I was wrong about the Metal Ancestral Dragon’s purpose in entering the inner cosmos. It’s not here to reconcile with the White Ancestral Dragon.”
