Born Sacred

Chapter 156: Abyss

After all, it was a place for selling intelligence, so Noah could understand why sounds and figures were concealed.

Round tables were scattered throughout the hall, and at every moment, people would sit down or stand up at a table.

Seeing a patch of mosaic stand up from a seat not far away, Noah didn’t hesitate, quickly walked over, and sat down. The moment he sat down, he felt the space he was in being separated from the hall. Unless he voluntarily ended it, no one could disturb him while he was inquiring about intelligence.

Similar to the trading area, consumption had already begun the moment he sat down. The longer the duration, the higher the cost.

Purchasing intelligence also required separate payment.

"They really are money-grubbers..."

Noah complained. He currently had 30,000 Merits, so he didn’t need to be too anxious.

The Intelligence Pavilion wasn’t the only place that sold intelligence.

The trading area also had it, but the Intelligence Pavilion was an official organization, and the intelligence it sold was more expensive but guaranteed to be accurate. The private sellers in the trading area were Awakeners from other worlds; their prices were cheaper, but the accuracy and whether there was any misleading information were questionable and required self-verification.

A crystal ball rose from the center of the table, and corresponding information entered Noah’s mind. He immediately understood that as long as he spoke the intelligence he wanted to know into the crystal ball, after deducting the corresponding Merits, he would get the answer.

Of course, the crystal ball was just a shape; if needed, it could be changed freely, even into a beautiful woman, without issue.

"What is a Breeder Civilization?"

Noah didn’t overthink it and asked a question first.

A dazzling light rose from the crystal ball, and immediately after, streams of information appeared in Noah’s mind. Soon, he understood what a Breeder Civilization was.

Breeder Civilizations were notorious throughout the All Heavens and Myriad Realms.

The number of members in their civilizations was small, but their strength was incredibly powerful. These Breeder Civilizations traveled through the All Heavens and Myriad Realms, searching for other Awakened Worlds.

Once an Awakened World was discovered by a Breeder Civilization, it would immediately face utter destruction.

Terrifying breeders would descend, instantly annihilating all resistors. The remaining survivors would all become tools for the breeders to farm attribute crystals and various items.

They would drain the last drop of blood and sweat from the civilization.

The danger level of a Breeder Civilization was second only to a Disaster.

Disasters aimed at destroying Awakened Worlds; they would launch continuous attacks until the Awakened World was annihilated. Breeders aimed to breed; they would take action to resolve Disasters, allowing the Awakened World to survive.

Don’t think that Breeder Civilizations were good people. If a Disaster’s intensity was too great, exceeding the investment, they would immediately retreat and leave.

From the moment it was being bred, that Awakened World had no future.

Unless its own strength was incredibly powerful and feared no challenge, no Awakened World was willing to be targeted by a Breeder Civilization and become a cash cow that was constantly bled dry.

These Breeder Civilizations often started by concentrating the power within their civilization to cultivate a small number of high-Talent Awakeners.

"No wonder Kuru and the others were so afraid."

Noah suddenly understood.

They were afraid that Noah’s civilization would become the next Breeder Civilization, and that having interaction with Noah now might mean the end of their civilization in the future.

Living beings always liked to take shortcuts. Having tasted the sweetness of rapidly becoming stronger, would those high-Talent Awakeners who were concentratedly nurtured turn around and become breeders? Noah could only say that those who could maintain their original intention in the face of immense temptation were ultimately few.

Breeder Civilizations were the public enemy of many Awakened Worlds.

In the current All Heavens and Myriad Realms, the number of Breeder Civilizations wasn’t too large. Apart from those ancient Breeder Civilizations that had long since grown powerful and become terrifying calamities, among the new civilizations, those with a breeder tendency all tried their best to hide themselves. Otherwise, once their inclination was detected, they would immediately be attacked by the masses.

Better to kill the wrong than let one go.

"I hope this doesn’t attract any trouble."

Noah’s eyes turned slightly cold.

Because of his previous unintentional mistake, he had likely been noticed by some people with intentions.

If there were no follow-ups, then so be it. But if someone caused him trouble because of this, he wouldn’t be blamed for being ruthless.

One couldn’t act in the Civilization Convergence Zone, and what entered wasn’t the true body, but the All Heavens and Myriad Realms were so vast, with countless Talents, various skills, equipment, and items. Who knew if other Awakened Worlds had a way to find the Blue Star Civilization?

It’s worth mentioning that despite Breeder Civilizations having a notorious reputation and being characters that everyone wanted to beat, they could still enter the Civilization Convergence Zone.

They were not considered Disasters.

Because the target of Breeder Civilizations was only Awakened Worlds; they had no interest in Ordinary Worlds and Extraordinary Worlds. They would also resolve Disasters, and the civilizations they belonged to would also be targeted by Disasters.

"Does that Supreme Will mean that it doesn’t matter if it’s a black cat or a white cat, as long as it can solve the Disaster?"

Noah pondered.

Of course, it wouldn’t be encouraged either.

Breeder Civilizations would not receive special rewards. The special rewards given previously would be withdrawn when the civilization became a breeder.

...

"What exactly is a Disaster?"

Noah’s expression shifted slightly as he asked the second question.

For the Supreme Will to tolerate the existence of scourges like Breeder Civilizations, it showed how great the threat of Disasters was, requiring the concentration of all forces.

Light flickered on the crystal ball, transmitting information into Noah’s mind.

So-called Disasters were terrifying calamities sweeping through the All Heavens and Myriad Realms. They used countless worlds as nourishment to grow. Behind their growth was the destruction of countless worlds.

No one knew when Disasters appeared. By the time they were noticed, they had already grown strong, continuously destroying world after world.

Breeder Civilizations were only the public enemy of Awakened Worlds, but Disasters were the enemy of all worlds.

The Abyss was one of the most terrifying Super Large Calamities within the All Heavens and Myriad Realms.

Yes, the name of this Super Large Calamity was not Demonized Monsters, nor was it Abyssal Demons, but the Abyss.

It was the source of countless Large, Medium, and Small Calamities, the birthplace of Abyssal Demons.

Demonized Monsters were merely lower-level Disasters of the Abyss Disaster, and the highest level of Disaster they instigated was only Human level. Higher-level Disasters were not dominated by these Demonized Monsters.

To this day, the worlds swallowed by the Abyss were as numerous as the sands of the Ganges, uncountable. The Remnant Worlds composed of world shardss were also extremely numerous, spread throughout the All Heavens and Myriad Realms. The Remnant World that the Blue Star Civilization came into contact with was merely one of them.

"The Abyss is probably the highest-level Heaven-level Disaster," Noah couldn’t help but sigh.
