CHAPTER 733: CHAPTER 732: VOID RELIC TREE - UNEXPECTED WINDFALL

"Is this Beta’s ability?"

Muttering to himself, Lu Zixun felt a sense of helplessness well up inside him.

"Yes, yo."

Nodding, Elizabeth flipped her hair and said, "We are different from humans; we are born with the ability to sense impending crises, and it was exactly this kind of divergence that led to the split in the first place."

"You abandoned humanity?" Squinting, Lu Zixun asked.

"No, it was the pride of being human that kept them from leaving their own land."

With a look of envy on her face, Elizabeth sighed, "This kind of courage that comes naturally, although we can’t understand it, we can recognize it."

Su Qian, who had just entered the library, softened her gaze after hearing what Elizabeth said.

"So you’re saying that here, one can only seek strength enhancement and not get any support from you?"

When Lu Zixun asked this question, Elizabeth nodded with certainty, "Even if we went to help, the situation wouldn’t get better; it would only get worse."

Worse?

Lu Zixun frowned, wondering whether higher-dimensional beings couldn’t deal with Beta either.

"The Trial Tower taken by ’One-Eyed’ is our creation; we simulated countless methods to fight against Beta and ultimately developed a chip capable of controlling emotions."

Su Qian, standing next to Elizabeth, looked at Lu Zixun and said, "But in fact, it has been proven that these chips can indeed deal with Beta, but they also give rise to monsters without any emotions."

"You mentioned chasing after Beta; are those the people with the chips installed?"

Pondering, Lu Zixun asked.

"Mhm, a brainwashed squad of ten, they are the only ones who can deal with Beta. But if they resolve the Beta issue and return to your civilization with the data, your civilization’s coordinates will be exposed."

Pausing, Su Qian said with a serious expression, "Although I don’t know why Beta is interested in your civilization, one thing is certain: there must be a reason worth staying for, and once the coordinates are revealed, you may face an even greater threat."

With that said, Lu Zixun also understood seven or eight parts of it.

The civilization Elizabeth belonged to was one full of goodwill; it was precisely because of this that they couldn’t directly deal with Beta.

"Then how can I enhance my strength here?"

Having understood, Lu Zixun shifted the topic and asked.

"We can send you to the Void Relic Tree, but as for how to enhance your strength, that’s up to your own abilities."

Nodding, Su Qian added, "I’ve heard that in the Void Relic Tree, there are artifacts that can restrain Beta. You could go looking for them."

Void Relic Tree?

Upon hearing this name, an unfamiliar yet vaguely familiar sense overcame Lu Zixun, and it took him a while to remember.

Kazek, whom he had met before, had given him a Void Pass.

And as for the artifacts Su Qian mentioned, they must be those seven keys.

Taking out the keys, Lu Zixun asked, "Do you have anything like this in your world?"

Su Qian shook her head.

Elizabeth, however, nodded and said, "I have a key here embedded with a ruby, inscribed with the character for ’rage’."

Throwing the key to Lu Zixun, Elizabeth looked up and said, "It’s on loan to you. Should you die, it will reveal its location, so make sure not to die."

The reasons for Lu Zixun’s death would be dying at the hands of Beta.

Elizabeth’s words sounded like a warning, but in fact, it was her way of expressing care for Lu Zixun.

Understanding this, Lu Zixun looked at Elizabeth with a smile, pocketing the key, "No problem."

"We have the coordinates to enter the Void Relic Tree and can send you there through the shuttle, but you’ll still need a Void Pass to obtain the method..."

Before Su Qian could finish, Lu Zixun produced a Void Pass, "I have one. Could you send me directly?"

Swallowing her words, Su Qian nodded, "Can I say it’s no surprise for Lord Defy Fate? The Void Pass is indeed one of the hardest things to come by."

Standing next to the familiar shuttle, Elizabeth smiled, "I hope when we meet again, it will be when you have reached a Third-level Civilization."

"It will be."

Smiling at Elizabeth and Su Qian, Lu Zixun said seriously, "Thank you for your help."

The shuttle activated, the Power of Gu Master surged, and in the blink of an eye, Lu Zixun was in the Void.

A purple tree anchored in the Void, its branches extending out energy, protected the area beneath.

Within the protective range of the Void Relic Tree, Lu Zixun could vaguely make out a few shops.

The moment he touched the Protective Shield, the Void Power repelled his body.

As the surrounding Void Power tried to cling to him, Lu Zixun snorted coldly, and Spiritual Energy surged out, exterminating this energy.

With his Void Pass, the Protective Shield that had stopped Lu Zixun automatically opened a gap and sucked him in.

Arriving inside the Void Relic Tree, Lu Zixun discovered a hidden paradise, containing a large landmass within.

Various creatures roamed this land, and the shops he had seen were actually just three:

Mission Hall, Void Points Exchange, Shop.

With nothing on hand, Lu Zixun first headed to the Mission Hall and found that the mission levels were divided from one to Level 5 Civilizations, with a variety of types.

Depending on the task difficulty, the amount of Void Points gained differed.

After a quick scan of these missions, Lu Zixun sighed.

With his current strength, the only missions Lu Zixun could undertake were one or two, and they were the kind that he couldn’t snatch.

Tricky... shaking his head, Lu Zixun decided to go to the exchange first.

As soon as he reached the exchange, a red beam swept over him, and before he could react, a welcoming voice sounded from within.

Just a detection method?

Lu Zixun shook his head and entered a private room.

Triggering the light screen to turn on, a projection of a small figure popped out, "Lord Defy Fate, you haven’t visited the Void Relic Tree for some time. Would you like to retrieve your previously stored Void Points?"

Raising an eyebrow at this, Lu Zixun thought, what’s this all about?

"Retrieve."

"Alright, retrieving for you now."

After these words, the figure’s movements noticeably slowed.

After a while, the figure slowly said, "Retrieval successful. A total of 1.48 million Void Points, ranking first on the scoreboard. Would you like your name to be displayed?"

"Fog Grass?"

Surprised to find he had so many, Lu Zixun instinctively said, "No display."

Now fretting over points, and with this windfall, Lu Zixun felt...

Better.
