Chapter 57: Hugging the thigh
"Don't you know?" A voice spoke from the Crystal Core Tower in the White Dragon Territory. "I didn't expect you didn't know. How is that possible? Have you lost your memory?"
Yang Chen: “…”
If you say you have amnesia in your heart, you will be easily deceived, but even if you don’t use the excuse of amnesia, the other party may think you have amnesia.
Can he say that he didn't lose his memory, but just didn't know how he became the Lord of the Crystal Core?
"Well, it seems you really don't understand." The White Dragon Crystal Core Master confirmed something from Liu Ruhong's eyes and said, "It's very likely that when you became the Crystal Core Master and merged with the Crystal Core Tower, some malfunction occurred, leading to amnesia. Although the probability is extremely small, almost zero percent, it seems that you just happened to be in that zero percent."
Although Yang Chen robbed his territory of the Martial God and Martial Saint, the Lord of the White Dragon Crystal Core still answered irrelevant questions.
"You mean, becoming the Lord of the Crystal Core? Then what was your form before you became the Lord of the Crystal Core?" Yang Chen asked again. This was the information he wanted to know. Was the other party's experience of becoming the Lord of the Crystal Core the same as his own?
Died in battle, and then inexplicably became the master of the crystal core?
"Why should I tell you?" But at this moment, the Lord of the White Dragon Crystal Core sang a different tune.
"What do I gain by telling you this?"
"Answer me a question and I'll give you a Martial Saint. How about that?"
This request is very tempting.
The Lord of the White Dragon Crystal Core had only been able to barely control a Martial Saint before. If Yang Chen returned the Martial Saints to him one by one, then he would not only not lose anything, but would also make a profit.
"Deal!" The White Dragon Crystal Core Master was delighted and said, "Before becoming Crystal Core Masters, we were all candidate Crystal Core Masters, existing in a certain layer of the universe we call the Lord School, and we are the students of the Lord School."
Lord's school? Students?
Hearing an answer that was different from his own guess, Yang Chen immediately became interested.
This seems to be an existence beyond the level of human cognition, a huge existence above humans. In front of this existence, humans are just chess pieces, and every crystal core master is the chess player, and the crystal core master itself is also a chess piece for a higher existence.
Yang Chen took a minute to fully absorb this information.
"Looking at you, you really have forgotten everything. Fine, ask me again. Give me the Martial Saint and I will answer you." The Lord Bailongming became even more excited.
The warriors under his command are chess pieces that he controls. The more there are, the more chess pieces he has, and the more variables he can control.
"Okay, let me ask you another question. Does every territory have a crystal core master?" Yang Chen asked again, and transformed one of the Martial Saints to the other party.
"Alas, why are they all given to the worst Martial Saints?" The White Dragon Crystal Core Master complained, but still replied, "Not all territories have Crystal Core Masters. It depends on the fate of the territories. The Lord's School is unlikely to place two Crystal Core Masters in close proximity, because at least they will give them some space and time to develop. They don't want to see Crystal Core Masters fighting each other too early."
Yang Chen assigned another weak Martial Saint to him and asked again, "So, what is the motive of this Lord School for assigning Crystal Core Masters to the territory? What is the purpose of doing this?"
"Your question is a bit complex, but I can still answer it. In the plane we inhabit, the Lord of the Crystal Core and the Lord of the Abyss engage in a relentless struggle. The Lord of the Abyss extends the abyss towards the plane where humans inhabit. In response, we, the Lord of the Crystal Core, extend the Crystal Core Tower towards the ancient battlefield between the abyss and humanity. This is a manifestation of mutual resistance."
"Then I understand. To put it simply, it is a war between the Lord of the Crystal Core and the Lord of the Abyss?" Yang Chen said with sudden enlightenment.
"To be precise, it is a contest between crystal core energy and the dark energy of the abyss." The Lord of the White Dragon Crystal Core added.
"How can we contact the Lord's School?" Yang Chen asked immediately.
As an accident, Yang Chen would definitely not be able to contact the Lord's School, so he would lose many possibilities for growth.
"This is the third question." The Lord of the White Dragon Crystal Core said unhappily.
Yang Chen assigned him another Martial Saint, and he replied, "Once you graduate from the Lord's School, you can no longer establish contact with it. Do you know how many Crystal Core Masters have graduated from the Lord's School? If every one of them were to connect with the school, the school would be unable to continue."
Yang Chen understood what he meant. That is to say, after the allocation, it was equivalent to not caring about it anymore. In this way, whether there was a lord school or not was of little significance to them.
"Do you have any other questions you want to ask? I can answer them all." The Lord of the White Dragon Crystal Core asked again.
By answering such a simple question, he could gain one more unit under his command. It was such a simple and easy deal. He didn't have to pay anything at all. Of course, the Lord of the White Dragon Crystal Core was happy about it.
But Liu Ruhong shook her head and said, "I no longer have any questions to ask."
The Lord of the White Dragon Crystal Core felt disappointed, but still said angrily, "Are you sure there's no information you want to know? I have a top-secret piece of information here. As long as you give me a Martial God, I will pass this information on to you."
"No, I don't have any more information I need to know." Yang Chen had no interest in the other party's information at all.
"Are you sure?" The White Dragon Crystal Core Master sneered, "Do you think what you learned in the Lord's Search is useless? Don't you want to know what we learned in the Lord's School? About the cultivation method of the Crystal Core Master?"
"Wait, are you talking about the cultivation method of the Crystal Core Lord?" Yang Chen suddenly became interested again.
Liu Ruhong's figure paused as she turned to leave, and she immediately turned to look at the crystal core tower.
"This information isn't cheap. I'll give it to you for every Martial God you meet." The Lord of the White Dragon Crystal Core said coldly, "I'm quite easy to talk to. Once I've made a promise to a Martial God, I won't go back on my word, and I can guarantee you'll get the complete information. Of course, if you can promise to withdraw from my territory and return all the warriors, I can tell you everything I know. We can even become allies in the future, the kind that venture into the abyss together."
"Let's go into the abyss together?" Yang Chen hesitated.
"Yes, I have a guide to cross the abyss here. These are what I learned in school. They are no worse than the cultivation methods." The Lord of the White Dragon Crystal Core said with all his might.
He could see that the Lord of the Xuantian Crystal Core was very powerful, otherwise he would not have been able to control the Martial God of his territory. Even if he was not as strong as he imagined, at least he had much better luck than himself. Such a big thigh should be clung to in time.
