Chapter 851 - 381: The Restrictive Power of Tribulation

A giant steel beam over a hundred meters wide spans the sky. Chu Xiu feels like he’s standing in a primitive giant kingdom—black and coarse, with only the incredible steel structure visible, where even a random passage is over a thousand meters wide. Being amidst it makes the current Chu Xiu feel insignificantly small.

The group has been exploring inside this massive vehicle for more than five minutes,

not long after penetrating, the slight light from the hole behind completely disappeared, and Chu Xiu and the three others were swallowed by the darkness where they couldn’t see their hands. But at their level, they no longer needed eyes to perceive.

With Chu Xiu’s Divine Sense spread out, the surrounding scenery within dozens of miles was completely captured in his mind.

With Chu Xiu’s current Divine Sense, if he’s in an open area, he can stretch it out for a hundred miles without a problem and still maintain a not-low scanning accuracy.

However, Divine Sense passing through dense objects would have some loss to varying degrees, and in this place, Chu Xiu quickly and shockingly discovered that the walls on both sides of the passage were as thick as mountains made of steel! Chu Xiu’s Divine Sense pierced four to five miles, and it was still high-strength steel!

"This..."

Chu Xiu thought of an experiment someone in his past life did—pouring lead liquid into an ant nest and cooling it to obtain a complex nest structure. The inside of the battleship in front of them was somewhat similar, only far grander.

Chu Xiu couldn’t help but have an outrageous thought; this battleship seemed like a naturally born, giant high-strength steel block over 2,000 kilometers in radius! Subsequently, it was artificially carved internally with passages and other structures!

But how is this possible? How could there be such a massive steel block?

Chu Xiu reached out and grabbed a piece; the strength of this steel was also extraordinarily outrageous, as the super steel from making aircraft carriers in his past life was incomparable.

In front of this terrifying steel monster, an exploded nuclear bomb probably wouldn’t cause it any harm!

Seeming to sense Chu Xiu’s shock, Mu Tuo curiously turned around: "Brother Chen, have you never seen a Star Jumping Ship before? Could it be you’re truly from a civilization below Level Seven?"

Chu Xiu shook his head and smiled: "I’m not trying to pique everyone’s interest; in fact, I am indeed from a Sixth-level Civilization, where there are no Gods."

"Even many messages concerning the Civilization Envoy were learned by chance during a trial."

"Oh..." Mu Tuo responded, unclear whether he believed or not. Beside him, Zhu Jiu laughed: "If Brother Chen’s civilization doesn’t have Gods, then feeling shocked isn’t surprising."

"Upon reaching the God level, quantities lose their meaning. A demigod even boosted a hundred times or a thousand times couldn’t be a match for a God. Means like turning stone to gold through altering particle structures are just the most fundamental powers."

"Thus, these Divine Level Star Jumping Ships must be crafted by Gods in person. You see, for Gods, shaping such massive steels might be akin to changing a mountain, but for a civilization without Gods, even if the entire civilization’s power was pooled together, creating even one percent size of a Star Jumping Ship’s form is impossible."

Zhu Jiu’s words left Chu Xiu secretly frightened; indeed, Blue Star’s technological level had already reached a high level, but let’s not say manufacturing a giant iron block with a radius of 2,000 kilometers, even a solid iron block with a radius of 200 meters was an extremely difficult, if not impossible, task.

And Gods can actually make such unbelievably large things fly...

All the while, he constantly heard people from different tiers saying there’s an insurmountable chasm between demigods and Gods. Even Ashtar, as a Main God’s Divine Envoy, considered a top-tier demigod, still sees himself as a servant before other Gods.

But only now did Chu Xiu faintly sense how massive the gap between Gods and demigods truly is!

If calculated in the cultivation system, demigods may be at Core Formation or Nascent Soul, but the strength of Gods definitely surpasses Divinity Transformation, reaching further realms whose exact stage Chu Xiu couldn’t deduce, as he lacks a clear understanding of any power system right now.

Thinking like this, was accepting Blood Pool’s invitation originally a wise decision...

At this time, Zhu Jiu added: "Of course, I’m referring to proper Gods; Pseudo-Gods, Star Gods, Servant Gods, and so forth don’t count."

Chu Xiu’s expression shifted; he suddenly realized this trial might be an excellent opportunity to learn about higher civilizations.

He immediately humbly asked: "Brother Zhu, could you kindly tell me the distinctions among these Gods and the methods to become a God?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Zhu Jiu and the other three were taken aback and couldn’t help but glance at Chu Xiu more, thinking perhaps this guy really is from a Sixth-level Civilization? Since even if acting, there’s no need to be so deeply immersed, right?

Eventually, Zhu Jiu spoke: "These aren’t really secrets; we need time to explore, so it’s fine to chat idle."

"You’re familiar with the Ascension Sequence, right?"

Chu Xiu nodded.

Zhu Jiu opened his mouth, about to speak when suddenly his expression changed. He stared forward, frowning.

At that location was a crossroad shaped like the character "米," and Zhu Jiu looked at one of the roads.

"Brother Zhu, what’s wrong?" Mu Tuo asked, tapping lightly with his left hand, releasing an investigation skill whose form Chu Xiu couldn’t discern, but it seemed to reveal nothing.

Zhu Jiu furrowed his brow and said: "Something’s off. My Spiritual Sense has picked up a dangerous aura."
