Longevity Martial Arts: Starting from Inner Core Skill

Chapter 1114: Chapter 29: Verification

Miao Feng’s words, Wang Sheng could naturally judge were not random but truly believed as such.

Of course, whether it was the actual situation he still needed to assess.

However, he personally already believed it to be eighty percent true, otherwise, the Fate Skill wouldn’t have given such a prompt.

“Although the authenticity of Miao Feng’s words has not been confirmed, to avoid trouble, it’s better to be cautious. Simple probing is not a problem, but excessive interference is not allowed. Besides probing the Xinhua civilization, we also need to search for traces of the Stardust Beasts in the starry sky. If there’s a comparison, perhaps it can be clearer.”

Since he noticed the problem, Wang Sheng naturally wouldn’t commit any taboos.

But there were no issues approaching it from other aspects.

“First, let’s search for the origin of the Stardust Beasts. If we can find the origin, everything can be explained… though it is estimated to be very difficult.”

When he first came to the Xinhua civilization, he had already conducted a simple probe, at that time didn’t notice the so-called origin; otherwise, he wouldn’t have speculated it was the hidden means of other Thirteen Realms in the starry sky.

Now, even if he searches specifically, the harvest is likely not going to be significant.

Sure enough, after probing with Divine Thought, there was still no significant discovery.

“These Stardust Beasts are like rootless wood, a large group gathered near the Xinhua civilization, which has been massively exterminating them, yet the Stardust Beasts are continuous, which is already a considerable issue in itself… it seems to discover anomalies requires long-term investigation.”

In the short term, it’s difficult to detect abnormalities in this group of Stardust Beasts.

Only long-term observation is possible.

“Let’s monitor the Xinhua civilization for now, and first probe other places in this starry sky.”

Wang Sheng left only an avatar in the Xinhua civilization to observe changes in the Stardust Beasts group.

And the powerful avatar continued to travel through the universe, looking for traces of other powerful civilizations and Stardust Beasts.

Over a decade passed just like that.

He actually managed to find quite a few civilizations in the end.

Some of these civilizations had technologies and practices stronger than the Xinhua civilization, while others were much weaker.

The only common point was the presence of Stardust Beasts near the civilizations.

Among them, the weakest civilization had just embarked on the path of cultivation, and their technology had barely developed.

This civilization faced an invasion by Stardust Beasts directly into the planet, slaughtering living beings.

In a world without a unified civilization, each battled on its own and could only barely resist.

Ultimately, it was because the Stardust Beasts in that world were not powerful.

There were also civilizations stronger than the Xinhua civilization, such as the Iron Armor Civilization in front of him, which faced even more powerful Stardust Beasts.

“The Iron Armor Civilization is even more powerful than the Xinhua civilization, which I provided with a restrictor, hence the Stardust Beasts they face are also more terrifying. The strongest Stardust Beasts have already reached the Ninth Realm, and the Iron Armor Civilization’s resistance is more challenging than the Xinhua Civilization’s, and it’s the same for others invaded by Stardust Beasts; it seems everything matches up…”

In those many years, Wang Sheng’s strength was enough to travel across a vast scope.

He witnessed countless civilizations.

After leaving the Xinhua civilization, whenever he saw Stardust Beasts, he paused to observe, and it was the same in other civilizations.

Countless samples were proving—

Miao Feng was right.

The stronger a civilization’s technology and cultivation, the stronger the Stardust Beasts that appear.

At the same time, the weaker a civilization’s strength, the smaller the disparity with the Stardust Beasts’ strength, with the gap growing as the civilization’s strength improves.

If civilizations were to be ranked by level, from weak to strong, one to nine levels.

A level-one civilization might face a 0.8-level Stardust Beasts group, a level-two civilization faces 1.9-level Stardust Beasts, a level-three civilization faces a level-3 Stardust Beasts group, while a level-four civilization faces 4.1-level or even higher-level Stardust Beasts, and a level-five civilization has to face 5.4 or 5.5-level Stardust Beasts.

Two patterns, every civilization he saw invaded by Stardust Beasts conformed to this law.

This basically proved the truth in Miao Feng’s words.

In fact, it’s not just Miao Feng from the Xinhua civilization who discovered this, but people from many other civilizations have also realized it.

Unfortunately, they had no comparisons and no evidence.

Thinking that relying on a few words to make others abandon civilization’s development is almost impossible.

Therefore, for most civilizations, it’s a dead cycle.

“The more developed, the closer to the abyss.”

“But if there’s no development…” Wang Sheng shook his head, not considering it a good idea.

During these many years, he also gained some insights into the birth of Stardust Beasts.

In simple terms, they are born out of thin air.

The Stardust Beasts devour everything, and the areas they consume become Chaos regions, where the Stardust Beasts are born.

He had also done a simple check, not finding anything crucial.

That’s why he concluded with “born out of thin air.”

Such a birth method means if civilizations do not develop, they simply cannot outlast the Stardust Beasts, and will eventually meet their demise, just a matter of time.

“Some luck may find a balance, weaker civilizations might survive longer than some powerful ones, but that’s all there is to it.”

“Merely lingering for thousands of years and then being destroyed without resistance… Perhaps some civilizations know the truth, yet cannot give up. The best solution would be to find a place without Stardust Beasts, but can they truly escape?”

Wang Sheng looked towards the Iron Armor Civilization.

He stayed here for a reason.

The Iron Armor Civilization developed well, fully entering the starry cosmos, possessing the ability for interstellar travel, so when they found it increasingly difficult to resist the Stardust Beasts, they began looking for alternatives.
