The Era of Gods Chapter 461 – Chapter 461: Chapter 461 Unifying the Lizard Archipelago

Chapter 461: Chapter 461 Unifying the Lizard Archipelago

The soldier hurriedly replied:

“We collided with a giant rock, and the observer guessed that there might be a rift in a plane nearby, which would mean many fragments of the shattered plane could be found in the surrounding Void.”

“A rift in a plane?”

Lin Xiao strode onto the bridge, where the central viewing screen showed nothing but darkness. Glancing out of the observation windows at the front of the bridge, he saw nothing outside except for the churning Void Energy.

Just as he was about to look away, a massive, irregularly shaped mountain surged forth from the tumultuous Void Storm ahead, crashing towards them.

The pilot quickly adjusted the warship’s angle, and the Flying Snake No., just barely grazed past the irregular mountain that was thousands of meters high.

“It really is a rift in a plane!”

Lin Xiao had seen traces of buildings on the edges of the rock they just passed, indicating that there was a civilization within the fragmented plane, and judging from this, probably not a primitive one.

His interest piqued instantly, he ordered loudly:

“Slow down, approach cautiously, and be ready to flee at a moment’s notice. Retreat immediately if anything goes awry!”

A rift in a plane was rare. It could be the result of some catastrophic disaster, or perhaps a battle between super-strong beings above the level of a True God, causing the plane to fracture accidentally.

Of course, there was another possibility—that a super Void Behemoth had passed through the plane, and if the plane were small, it could also accidently get shattered.

A fractured plane generally loses its value. Once a plane has shattered and its fragments dispersed into the Void, it won’t be long before the Earth is eroded by Void Energy and dissolves into nothingness.

However, generally after a plane has disintegrated, there will be remnants of very sturdy and precious minerals and Magic materials. These are hard to mine within a plane but may become available after a plane’s collapse, which is what Lin Xiao hoped to find by trying his luck.

The Flying Snake No. flew slowly forward, and it wasn’t long before they passed another piece of land riddled with corrosion holes.

As they passed the boulder, the observer saw a large blue crystal on the other surface and immediately shouted:

“Look over there, a massive chunk of sapphire in its raw form!”

Lin Xiao looked in that direction and saw a blue crystal almost the size of a small room, its surface emitting a faint blue glow. More blue crystals of various sizes were nearby. His face lit up with joy as he shouted:

“Head over there, mine it out.”

“We’re going to make a fortune this time.”

Everyone in the bridge was thrilled to see the blue crystal.

This was not your ordinary sapphire; it was the kind used as Magic materials, and the most common and largest use for it was to be ground into powder. After processing, it could be combined with other materials to make magic ink. Whether for inscribing Arrays or making Magic Items or Magic Scrolls, it’s needed.

Its unit price isn’t high, but the size of this find cannot be ignored. You should know that one unit of this material is only about the size of an egg, and the standard market price is a thousand units per Godforce Crystal.

There are probably hundreds of thousands of units here, which could add up to a few hundred Godforce Crystals. That’s not a small sum of money.

“Everyone who sees it gets a share; dig it out, and everyone gets a big red envelope,”

Lin Xiao declared with a sweep of his arm.

The crowd cheered, their movements becoming much more agile.

Maintaining its trajectory and speed to match the plane fragment several kilometers high, several members of the Navy Marine Corps disembarked in machines resembling but larger than the Pioneer Golem and flew towards the fragment. Two mechanical arms secured themselves to the face of the cliff, while the other two transformed into chisels and began forcefully chiseling along the edges of the sapphire.

The machines, with their incredible Strength, shattered the hard rock layer, and soon enough, the sapphire was loosened and detached. The two machines then extended several arms to grab and push the sapphire towards the Flying Snake No.

It’s worth mentioning that these Magic Sapphires were associated minerals found with iron ore, the area was surrounded by iron ore.

In normal circumstances, these iron ores wouldn’t be wasted, but they didn’t have enough space to accommodate them now and had to let them go.

When Lin Xiao arrived at the rear cabin, he saw a piece of sapphire the size of a small room lying quietly on the hard metal floor, a circle of faint blue light illumining the area around the gemstone.

Shen Yuexin walked around the gemstone and picked up a small, irregular piece of broken sapphire from the ground, asking:

“This Magic gemstone has a wide range of uses and is in high demand on the market. Are you going to sell it, or will you use it yourself?”

“Of course, I’ll use it myself!”

He had a Law system race within his Divine Realm, which consumed a hefty amount of such materials. He had previously had to buy them himself, which was quite an expense.

Turning to Flying Snake with a gesture, he said:

“Lend me your sword!”

Flying Snake hurriedly unfastened his sword and handed it over. Lin Xiao grasped the sword, aimed at the large blue sapphire, and brought down his sword with a chop.

A brilliant light shot forth from the sword, quickly forming a five-meter-long greatsword that slashed downward, cleanly dividing the sapphire in two. Following that, his hand lifted and fell several more times, cutting the sapphire into a dozen smaller pieces before he stopped.

Returning the sword to his subordinate, he pointed to the pile of blue sapphires and said to his girlfriend:

“Here, half for you, half for me.”

His girlfriend wasn’t shy, and with a wave of her hand, she collected half of the sapphires for herself.

Although she was not short on money, when it came to exploring Different Domains, what needed to be taken had to be taken.

Lin Xiao stored the remaining sapphires in a spatial magic item for the time being, planning to transfer them to his True Body later using the Creation Rubik’s Cube.

They continued to excavate the smaller sapphires on this Piecemeal Plane one by one, then blasted it apart with their ship’s cannons, finding a large number of gemstones and other rare materials, all of which they gathered up.

By the time they left, that Piecemeal Plane had been disassembled into countless fragments and swallowed up by the Void Storm.

Continuing forward, they found several more Piecemeal Planes of varying sizes, and from these, they mined some rare minerals, though none as abundant as the initial repository of magic gemstones.

They must have flown tens of thousands of kilometers forward without seeing any Piecemeal Planes for a long time. He estimated that the Flying Snake No. had passed through the Void filled with plane fragments and had not seen a shattered Plane Core, nor any lifeforms left behind from a broken plane, much less the culprit behind the plane’s destruction.

Lin Xiao guessed that by the time they arrived, it had been too long since the plane had shattered; the broken Plane Core was likely taken long ago.

If there was one…

There was some regret but also some relief.

The regret was not having seen the central region inside a broken plane, and naturally not having spotted a Plane Core.

The relief came from arriving late and not encountering the destroyer of the shattered plane, for if they had, their chances of escape would have been slim.

The so-called Plane Core, also known as Star Core, is the initial core of a plane, containing unimaginably terrifying energy. Crafting this object into a Card would yield an eight-star Ancient Card that even True Gods would dream of possessing.

If integrated into a God realm, this object could induce a transformation that countless Sons of God realm could only dream of – it could push a God realm beyond its limits, allowing it to birth a True God Level Powerhouse.

Let me put it this way: normally, the conventional means to elevate a God Domain’s Strength and energy limit is Rank 10, which corresponds to the Demigod Stage.

This is the conventional limit. Even if the Son of God realm achieves Divine Enthronement and ascends to Powerful Divine Power, as long as no special treasures are used to extend the God realm’s limit, the limit for the Strength of the races within the God realm will be confined to below Rank 10. It is impossible to exceed this limit, even if the Son of the God realm brings Divinity to the Core Races, as this is the limit set by the world.

The Plane Core, however, has the power to break through this cap, which illustrates how terrifyingly valuable it is.

However, Plane Cores are exceedingly rare. It’s not that every plane possesses a Plane Core; the conditions for its formation and acquisition are incredibly stringent.

First and foremost, it must be a plane that has given birth to a Plane Will and has intelligent lifeforms, regardless of the size of the plane. Only then does the Plane Core have the potential to form.

Yes, only potential, not a certainty that a Plane Will will be born.

A plane that does not meet these criteria, no matter how vast it is, will not form a Plane Core.

Note that this ‘forming’ is a conceptual type of formation. In reality, every plane has a Plane Core, but it’s a matter of being useful or not.

It can be likened to a chicken egg: some can hatch chicks, while others will never be able to hatch. It’s similar to that.

Beyond that, how to obtain a Plane Core is another major question.

Keep in mind that the Plane Core is the foundational basis of a plane’s existence, akin to a human’s brain and heart. If someone were to take your brain and heart while you’re still alive, could you survive?

Certainly not.

Therefore, the emergence of each Plane Core signifies the destruction of a plane with a multitude of intelligent lifeforms.

As people resist, so does the Plane Will.

In despair, people might fight to the death or even commit suicide. The Plane Will might do the same when it realizes it has no chance of resistance. There is a high likelihood that it will burn everything in a last suicidal strike against the attacker.

Whether or not the attacker can be killed, the Plane Will itself will be extinguished.

And once a Plane Will falls prematurely, its Plane Core becomes useless.

Regardless of who destroys a plane filled with life, they will face the rejection and hostility of the entire Crystal Wall Universe.

Therefore, these objects are extremely difficult to obtain, and not every noble scion possesses them.

Whenever one appears, it sparks a frenzy among the wealthy Sons of God realm who brandish treasures in exchange.

Indeed, these objects are only bartered for, with items of equivalent level or value, and are generally not sold outright.

Though Lin Xiao didn’t find this object, he felt no regret; had he found it, he would have been conflicted about whether to return immediately.

Of course, if he had managed to acquire a complete Plane Core, immediate return wouldn’t have been a loss.

They didn’t plan to go back and search; if they’d overshot, they’d overshot. They pressed on, plunging directly into the Void Storm, vanishing from sight.

In the God realm, as time passed, those light cocoons formed by the Wise Goblins gradually dimmed, indicating that the transformation was complete.

Accompanied by a faint click, the largest cocoon inside the City of Truth cracked open, and a stream of glittering starlight burst forth. Lin Xiao watched with anticipation as Slarda slowly bowed his head.
