nAt the center of the plate-shaped world was an invisible barrier.

nThe barrier had existed for many years, and the exact time it appeared was no longer traceable. In the past, the creatures of this world had recognized the interior of the barrier as the most dangerous place in the world.

nThe reason why the most dangerous place was so famous was because more than once, a terrifying creature had entered it and tried to reach the ultimate secret inside, but failed.

nIn the end, they did not return and no one heard from them again.

nRecently, the three dragon gods had solved a portion of the puzzle. The barrier, including everything inside, was related to a treasure tree that had grown out of it.

nOf course, it was also possible that when the treasure tree grew to a certain stage, it would take the initiative to communicate with the world. The three dragon gods were just lucky.

n“Roar!”

nThe roars of the dragons echoed through the cliffs, as if they were in the country of the dragons.

nIn the center of the invisible barrier was a circle of tall mountains and canyons. In the canyon was the place where the treasure tree grew, and also the center of the former forbidden area that living creatures were not allowed to approach.

nAt this moment, the three dragon gods had completely restrained the flames burning all over their bodies. Red scales appeared on their bodies one after another, and their bodies were lying on the ground.

nIn front of them was a strange treasure tree. The tree was not more than a meter in height, and it was completely red with two green and red fruits hanging from it.

nThe branches without fruits only had about 10 leaves each with fiery red patterns.

nThe surroundings were quiet, and only the occasional roar of the dragons could be heard from afar. At the same time, the treasure tree was constantly releasing a dense fog.

nThis dense fog was transformed by the treasure tree. It had surrounded the tree for many years and had gradually been absorbed by its fruits, which turned from green to red.

nAfter some time, one of the dragon gods woke up from its slumber. It was the one who had stayed behind in the invisible barrier and didn’t participate in testing Chen Yiming. It was also the oldest and strongest of the three dragon gods.

n“Big Brother, what did the tree spirit say?”

nThe anxiety on the faces of the two dragon gods dissipated and they asked impatiently.

nThe battle with the member of the Peacekeeping Alliance from the central galaxy had almost destroyed the confidence of the two dragon gods. It also showed that their isolated world was too weak.

nThis level of weakness made the two dragon gods wonder if they had gone astray in their cultivation. Otherwise, why would they be defeated by someone who was only close to a god?

nIt had to be known that the power they had mastered was the power of the world. This was a power that only gods could possess, and they could easily crush the terrifying creatures at the fusion realm in this world.

nOn the other hand, their opponent did not display much of his abilities. He only had a space-manipulation ability that was hard to guard against, and a powerful physique. It could be seen that those from the Peacekeeping Alliance of the central galaxy were unimaginably powerful.

n“The tree spirit told us to follow our original plan and ignore that intruder.”

nThe oldest dragon god paused before speaking.

n“But… That person is from the central galaxy’s Peacekeeping Alliance. They are tracking the traces of the black tide, and he is only an ordinary member.”

nThe two dragon gods, who had lost their confidence, did not follow the order unconditionally. Instead, they hesitated.

n“This outsider is indeed mysterious and powerful. However, if he does not sincerely wish to rescue the worlds that have been invaded by the black tide, or rather, if it is convenient for him to do so…”

nThe oldest dragon god had only expressed part of its thoughts, but the issue was already clear.

nThe space-manipulation ability of the intruder could be activated very quickly. It was not the slow type. To the three dragon gods, even the treasure tree seemed to be an unsolvable problem.

nThis also caused the dragon gods and the treasure tree to hope that the other party was sincere about saving the worlds that had been invaded by the black tide, but they were also cautious about the intruder.

nThis concern was not limited to the dragon god. The treasure tree was also afraid that it would be forcefully taken away. After all, if it was taken away, its fate would be out of its control.

n“Big Brother, then should we explain to that person about how we are trying to combine the five worlds and help the treasure tree undergo another transformation to face the impending crisis?”

nThe two dragon gods asked again. When it came to the mysterious outsider, they had also become cautious.

n“The two of you will be in charge of contacting the other party. However, the existence of the treasure tree must have been revealed to the other party by the golden ape already. It’s unrealistic to keep it a secret.”

n“This way, other than some things that we should keep secret, we can only openly tell the other party about the operation to merge the five worlds.”

n“If the outsider is really here to save the worlds that have been invaded by the black tide, he will definitely not object or stop us from saving ourselves.”

nThe oldest dragon god pondered for a moment before saying slowly.

nThese instructions were not the treasure tree’s arrangements. The treasure tree only revealed its intention, which was to fuse the cores of the five worlds together according to the previous agreement.

nThe larger and more fertile the soil, the more the treasure tree could evolve.

nTo the treasure tree, the three dragon gods were only its subordinates. For example, it could let the three dragon gods eat a ripe fruit and raise them to the level of gods.

nThe reason was that the three dragon gods could only help the treasure tree when their strength reached a certain level. By carrying out the will of the treasure tree, they could also hide the existence of the treasure tree from the outside world to a certain extent.

nSoon, the two dragon gods flew up and left the mountain valley.

n…

nJust as the three dragon gods were discussing things, a terrifying creature appeared where Chen Yiming and the golden ape were.

nAn elk, its body emitting a faint blue light, emerged from the messy forest and ran over.

nThe faint blue light came from a layer of protective energy that flowed along the surface of its body like water. It was also accompanied by electric sparks that jumped out from time to time. It was breathtaking at first glance.

nThen, another terrifying creature appeared. It looked like a tiger but also like a cat. Its entire body was silver-white, and its body looked a little weak. At the same time, it was glowing with a purple light.

nWherever it passed, illusions appeared.

n“Did the dragon gods send the two of you here because they were worried that I would snatch the treasure tree from your world?”

nChen Yiming said on purpose as he looked at the two terrifying creatures.

nAt this moment, his status was that of a member of the central galaxy’s Peacekeeping Alliance. He should treat all the creatures of this world the same way.

nWhether it was at the level of the near-god realm or at the level of gods who had mastered the power of the world, they had to be treated equally.

nAs soon as he said this, the white cat, who was already a little nervous, was shocked. In an instant, the face of a tiger appeared.

nThe weak-looking white cat actually had two forms. One was its normal form, and the other was its combat form. Its innate ability could also be switched between the two forms at will.

nIn reality, among those at the level of the fusion realm in the plate-shaped world, the white cat’s overall ability was considered to be extremely outstanding. It had previously killed many dragons.

nHowever, it was also because of these achievements that the white cat had been forced to disappear and hide away after the three dragon gods appeared.

n“Sir, we are not close to the three dragon gods, so we don’t know what they are thinking.”

n“The two of us came because we hope to help rescue the world that has been invaded by the black tide.”

n“The black tide once caused this world to fall into complete darkness. It is the enemy of all the creatures that grew up in this world.”

nThe blue elk continued to jog forward and came up to Chen Yiming to explain itself.

nAs it spoke, the white cat had already returned to its delicate appearance and followed behind the blue elk. Facing the mysterious outsider who could destroy the dragon god’s body with one strike, it could not remain calm at all.

nHearing this, Chen Yiming nodded.

nFrom the looks of it, the purpose of the two terrifying creatures was to join him. As for their relationship with the three dragon gods, it was just an excuse. If an excuse did not work, he could find other excuses.

nOf course, he did not mind. With the native terrifying creatures taking the initiative to join him, it would save him a lot of time to understand the five worlds in this galaxy.

nOf course, he did not mind. With the native terrifying creatures taking the initiative to join him, it would save him a lot of time to understand the five worlds in the starry sky.

nThis was the change brought about by his status. If he came to the plate-shaped world as the strongest human on the blue planet where he cultivated, the three dragon gods would probably shoot him with a red light on the spot.

nIf he didn’t die, they would use the fire domain that they had used previously to kill the dark creatures.

nThe golden ape at the side gradually had a bitter expression on its face, but it could not say anything. It vaguely felt that it had welcomed a competitor, and two at once.

nAs time passed, if it could not continue to show the value of its existence, it would gradually be ignored and forgotten. It would have missed out on a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

nAt this moment, the white cat gradually calmed down. It quickly took the initiative to explain its abilities to Chen Yiming.

nThe blue elk and golden ape also reported in detail what they were good at.

n“That’s right. The white cat’s illusion ability has never failed in front of the dark creatures. This means that it can be considered a bloodline talent.”

nChen Yiming followed the system’s definition of talent and continued, “When necessary, I will break through the barrier set up by the black tide. White cat, I hope you can bring back enough details about the situation inside.”

n“Golden ape, you have an incomplete body of anger. Your rage can allow you to maintain your battle intent at an extremely high level. In a life-and-death battle of the same level, you can automatically forget any concerns about death and become stronger as you fight.”

n“Work with the white cat. You are mainly responsible for dealing with the dark creatures that are more troublesome.”

n“The blue elk is good at both water and lightning elemental abilities. It has an incomplete elemental physique and is one of the fastest among those of the same level.”

n“In that case, stay by my side for the time being. In the future, when the white cat and the golden ape move out, you will be in charge of passing on my orders to them.”

nChen Yiming assigned the suitable roles according to what the terrifying creatures were best at. His tone also carried a hint of a test.

nThis made the golden ape, the blue elk, and the white cat heave sighs of relief.

nIf they were in his shoes, and had come from the central galaxy’s Peacekeeping Alliance, there was a high chance that they would have done the same. Not only that, but there would also be more terrifying creatures looking for a suitable opportunity to join them in the future.

nAt the level of the fusion realm, every terrifying creature had a high level of intelligence. Before they displayed enough value, they would not propose any conditions. No terrifying creature would be so stupid.

nIn fact, after resolving the problem of the black tide, it was not strange even if none of the terrifying creatures could leave with him.

nGoing to the central galaxy was just a fantasy. It was an opportunity that the terrifying creatures of this world one-sidedly hoped to grasp.

nSoon, the blue elk lowered its body and willingly became Chen Yiming’s mount. It wanted to bring Chen Yiming around their world to check the traces left behind by the black tide.

nChen Yiming knew that there was a high chance that the place where the war weapon was stored had been destroyed by the three dragon gods.

nHe did not refuse and happily mounted the blue elk. Its fur was very soft and comfortable under the nourishment of the water energy. Riding on it had the effect of washing away the fatigue in his body.

nThe golden ape and the white cat followed on both sides.

nJust like that, they gradually disappeared into the distance.

nAt the same time, the white cat’s illusion ability was automatically activated, causing all the creatures hiding in the dark to lose sight of them. They would no longer be able to find Chen Yiming’s position.

nThis also included the two dragon gods who arrived not long after.

nSeeing that he had already left, they could only give up for the time being. They didn’t manage to let Chen Yiming know about the plan to fuse the five worlds.

n…

nThe black water pit was originally called the black water lake.

nIn the plate-shaped world, it was just a lake. On the blue planet, it would be even larger than the Pacific Ocean. At a glance, there was a layer of black substance left in the dry black hole.

nThe blue elk stopped in front of the black water pit and explained, “After the three dragon gods appeared, it’s said that they obtained the help of the treasure tree and worked together to destroy the war weapon left behind by the black tide.”

n“That day, after the war weapon was destroyed, countless sinister ghost shadows were about to spread throughout the entire world. Even the dragon gods could not stop them.”

n“In the end, the fire domain was formed by several red lights. Only then did it burn all the shadows away and keep them from spreading out.”

n“This black substance was left behind after the black water in the lake evaporated. Other than its abnormal toughness, there doesn’t seem to be anything special about it.”

nChen Yiming nodded and leaped off the elk’s back, arriving at the black water pit.

nHe picked up a small piece of the black substance and pinched it a few times. He thought to himself, “Could it be that this is the raw material for the advanced material used in the special sealed item that was once used to kill me?”

nThe color had changed from purple to black. It should be the result of being attacked by the three dragon gods and being burned by the red light. The quality of the material was greatly reduced compared to the sticky substance.

nHowever, just by comparing its toughness, the black substance in his hand seemed to have been greatly enhanced in this aspect.

nOn second thought, “Isn’t the substance in this black water pit the best way to expand the number of human spaceships?”

nIf the relevant facilities could handle the large amount of substance in the black water pit that were slightly wider than the Pacific Ocean on the blue planet, they could even produce hundreds or thousands of spaceships.

nChen Yiming quickly looked away and let go of the black substance in his hand.

nThe reality was that with the current industrial capacity of humans, it was not enough to meet the needs of the spaceships being built, let alone scaling up to hundreds or thousands of spaceships.

nThe golden ape scratched the back of its head and faced the black water pit in frustration. It thought all the way until it reached the black water pit, but it could not think of any particularly valuable information.

nThe white cat jumped to a spot on the same level as Chen Yiming and said, “I once stayed near the black water pit and observed it secretly. I discovered that there were some abnormal movements in the night.”

n“Although I didn’t go close to verify it myself, I sensed the aura of the dark creatures around the black water pit for a while.”

n“The aura of the dark creatures is completely different from ordinary creatures. I can confirm that I’m not mistaken.”

nBefore the white cat finished speaking, Chen Yiming entered the state of super perception.

nUnder his enhanced senses, he sensed that there were indeed a few abnormalities in the black water pit, just as the white cat had said.

nHowever, what the white cat sensed was different from what he sensed. There were also strange spatial fluctuations in those abnormal places.

nClearly, it had not been exposed all this while. Except for the white cat, others would not have noticed it if they did not go up close. They might even fall into the trap set by the dark creatures.

nChen Yiming pointed at a few spots and said calmly, “White cat, you were right to observe carefully. There are abnormal spatial fluctuations at those spots.”

n“If you don’t even have a little space-manipulation talent, or if you are very insensitive when it comes to spatial fluctuations, it’s very dangerous for you to approach rashly. It’s very likely that you won’t be able to walk out of here alive.”

nAt the end, he added, “In your world, space-manipulation abilities are rare. However, in the central galaxy, and among the black tide that can reach out to the entire universe, the situation is completely different.”

n“Often, even without the ability to manipulate space, I can still use external forces to achieve a similar effect. Even when I face the black tide, I have to track its traces carefully.”

n“I once fell into a trap by mistake and was almost killed by the forces left behind by the black tide. If it was someone else who didn’t have the ability to teleport, they definitely wouldn’t have been able to escape.”

nChen Yiming modified the story of him being under siege and said seriously.

nThe golden ape, the elk, and the white cat pricked up their ears and memorized every word. They gasped quietly in their hearts.

n“If it was someone else who didn’t have the ability to teleport, they definitely wouldn’t have been able to escape. He must be referring to someone like the three dragon gods or someone stronger than them.”

nIn the hearts of the three terrifying creatures, the dragon gods had easily been defeated by Chen Yiming a few times in a row. They had lost completely and were completely crushed.

nIf not for the fact that he was from the central galaxy, the bodies of the two dragon gods would have been destroyed along with their inner worlds.

nThe consecutive show that he put on made the three terrifying creatures believe in Chen Yiming’s identity even more. He appeared to be both mysterious and powerful.

nChen Yiming waited for the golden ape, the elk, and the white cat to catch their breaths before saying, “I’ll bring you to the abnormal spots one by one later to clean up the dark creatures left behind in the black water pit. We won’t leave any spies behind from the black tide.”

nAs soon as he finished speaking,

nthe golden ape, the elk, and the white cat’s gazes turned solemn.

nIt wasn’t that they didn’t dare to. They were afraid of the power of the dark creatures, but that they truly valued this opportunity. They thought that this was the first test Chen Yiming was giving them.

nIf they could not even deal with the dark creatures left behind in the world, how could they have the face to go to the other four worlds in the galaxy that had been completely occupied by the black tide?

n
