Chapter 1120: 345. Starry Sky Relay_2

“No, it is not, it has never even had its own Plane Year.” the Assassin Angel said:

“This Plane Core has never possessed the Fire of St. Dillan; it has always been a weak existence wandering in the Barren Universe. When the Supreme Star Palace was established, the Star God once invited it to join, but it was rejected.

“Not all Plane Cores desire to possess the Fire of St. Dillan. They know that after acquiring this item, their dominion will eventually come 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.”

Noland Lee slowly nodded:

“For a weak Plane Core, this should be an excellent choice.”

“Exactly.” the Assassin Angel said:

“Such a Plane 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 Plane Core behind the Tatis Empire.”

Noland Lee asked:

“‘Ultimate Physique’?”

“Yes, that is its name, a Plane Core that pursues the ultimate physical power.” the Assassin Angel said:

“Because it pursues strong physiques excessively, during many Plane Years in the past, it has been targeted numerous times by other Plane Cores that feed on flesh as food. This includes the Plane 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 the land of ‘Ultimate Physique’ again.” Noland Lee gave a wry smile:

“It feels like the relationships of mutual generation and restraint among Plane Cores seem to have been determined from the moment they appeared. Just what are Plane Cores, and how did they come 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 Plan. If the total number of Plane Cores comes to a halt at some point in the future, we might have the hope of unraveling the secret of the Plane Core’s origins.”

After saying this, the Assassin Angel fell silent, seemingly recalling the past.

Noland Lee patted off the dust he had picked up from the street lamp, stood up straight, and walked towards the hotel where Denise Green was located.

Halfway there, after much contemplation, Noland Lee still decided to give Morster a heads-up to be extra vigilant about what would happen seven days later.

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, Noland Lee made all preparations for his journey into the Pollution Zone.

He had Nolin mass produce Mechanos on Island 33 and secretly commissioned Selena to procure a large number of magic scrolls.

All of this was to ensure he could successfully meet the Corpse Essence of the Gatherer of the Dead and completely annihilate it.

Beyond the necessary preparations, Noland 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 Noland Lee and the Dusk Giants, after helping the latter move to the “Bustling Tunnel,” the Dusk Giants owed Noland Lee a favor, which they needed to repay.

Previously, the Dusk Giants wanted to help Noland Lee break the First Fate Shackle.

But after understanding the drawback from the Assassin Angel, Noland Lee tactfully refused the Dusk Giants’ offer.

The Assassin Angel proposed that, after the Dusk Giants successfully left the Inner Cosmos, they would meet Noland Lee in Outer Space.

This proposal was sensible and seemed feasible.

Noland Lee relayed it to the Dusk Giants.

After some discussion, they confirmed a preliminary plan.

Before the “Bustling Tunnel” was closed, the Dusk Giants had to construct their own Sub-Dimensional Plane and, with the help of the “Giant” Plane 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 Noland Lee, only mentioning that a slight mishap in that place 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.
