439 The Mercury Crisis! (1/2)

However… within this three-dimensional map, the Earth wasn't blue in color but yellow!

The moon was green!

Mars was yellow in color as well. The other stars were all various shades of green and blue. Only… the Sun and Pluto, which wasn't one of the eight major planets, had unexpected colors.

Pluto was orange!

The Sun was red!

As the colors appeared, the sight instantly shocked the three excited and greedy men inside the black jellyfish. They widened their eyes, which were colored with incredulity and disbelief, before gasping and falling silent.

A long moment later, one of them finally gasped while breathing heavily and quickly.

”What's going on here? Why is it red? My god, red represents an Eternal Star realm…”

”You're wrong. The color red doesn't represent an Eternal Star realm. It simply… suggests the presence of an Eternal Star realm. As for whether the legendary Star realms truly do exist, that is beyond what our instruments can detect.” The cultivator with a centipede on his face had doubt in his eyes as well. He spoke slowly, then stared at Pluto.

”Red, orange, yellow, cyan, green, blue, purple… red represents at least the Eternal Star realm. Orange represents the Planet realm, yellow the greater Full Spirit Immortal realm, green the Nascent Soul realm… seems like we've either underestimated this civilization, or there's some great secret hidden here!”

The three stared at one another. Their earlier greed had vanished almost completely. With their capabilities, they might be able to lord over some lowly civilizations, but in the face of this bizarre Solar System, even they felt fearful.

This was simply too bizarre. Based on their combined experiences, they had never heard of such a civilization existing in this part of the universe. This defied all logic. This was because a civilization with an Eternal Star realm should gain relative fame throughout the entire universe.

Secondly… if there really was an Eternal Star realm, even if it were a Planet realm, they wouldn't have been able to approach. They would have been expelled and pushed away a long time ago when they had still been a far distance away. If they had come as close as they had now, they should have been destroyed.

But now, they appeared to be safe. They narrowed their eyes. They seemed deep in thought. It was then that the centipede-faced cultivator suddenly formed a series of hand seals. He pointed at the compass again. The light from the compass shone and dazzled once more.

It seemed to be conducting a more thorough search. The image that was displayed on the compass showed a clearer image of the Sun. It revealed the huge sword stuck on the Sun. It was this sword that was giving off the red light!

”This object!”

”This doesn't belong to this civilization. This is just too terrifying. To think that there is actually a treasure of the Universe realm here!”

”I finally understand why the cultivation realm in this civilization appears relatively primitive yet bizarre!” When they saw the giant sword, they all gasped. No greed stirred within them for the giant sword though. They knew that even if the ancient elders of the Planet realm were here, they too wouldn't dare to cause trouble in the face of this giant sword.

Every treasure of the Universe realm had its own will and spirit. Without its express permission, no one may enter!

They began to twitch. They hastily examined Pluto again. Their eyes widened with that second look. They seemed to have discovered within Pluto, another sun.

The energies exuding from the sun sent them gasping. They dared not continue to look at it.

”It's too dangerous. This place is too dangerous!”

”How do the cultivators here survive? If this had happened in our civilization, it would have collapsed long ago! All these are just disasters waiting to happen!”

The three of them continued to tremble in fear. They looked at the other planets. The energies pulsating subtly on Earth didn't seem as horrifying as that of Pluto, but that made them hesitant as well. The moon was the same. Even Mars was similar. The remaining planets seemed ordinary. Mercury, especially… seemed extraordinarily vulnerable.
