Novel Full Chapter 507 - Starcrossed
Chapter 507: Starcrossed
Tianwai Peak was not originally a mountain from Inferno. It was, in truth, flown from the outside world and landed here.
And it landed on the Infernal Demon Dragon’s territory.
The Infernal Demon Dragon had spent thousands of years exploring and researching on the mountain, and it finally found out that there was a hidden treasure vault at the center of Tianwai Peak.
The treasure vault was an extradimensional space that could not be seen and was located on another plane of existence.
After spending a few more centuries, it was finally able to force open the treasure vault.
When Jiang Fan led the Undying Crows to where the Infernal Demon Dragon was originally at, the Infernal Demon Dragon did not notice their existence as it was focused on the treasure vault.
Only when the extradimensional space that contained the treasure vault was destroyed and the treasures began to take flight, did it realize Jiang Fan’s existence when he tried to steal his treasures.
When the Infernal Demon Dragon saw Jiang Fan spit out a sword and it was trying to catch one of the treasures, only then did it ask in surprise, “Undying Crows? How did you enter Inferno?”
It knew that Inferno could only be accessed by creatures born of Inferno while leaving it was extremely difficult. The Undying Crows were obviously not monsters from Inferno. If it could discover how they entered, then perhaps it could lead the monsters from Inferno to leave this place and attack the Divine Dominion Continent, Silvermoon, and Dragonquarry.
That was why it did not directly attack Jiang Fan.
If he were to attack them, it could instantly kill the entire Undying Crows flock with its power.
“Gawk~ Forgot!” Jiang Fan blinked as he said with an innocent face.
As he said that, he did not forget to take that hourglass-shaped treasure.
While he did not know what kind of uses it had, but as long as he could keep the treasure, then he had at the very least earned something.
The Infernal Demon Dragon extended its wings and blocked three of the treasures that zoomed past it from leaving, and then captured the three treasures. It then asked Jiang Fan very gently, “Then you should remember. As long as you tell me where you entered this place, I will give you some of these treasures. How does that sound?”
“Gawk~ Okay!” Jiang Fan nodded excitedly.
When the Infernal Demon Dragon saw Jiang Fan agree to it, it was overjoyed as it thought to itself, ‘Seems like the Undying Crows’ leader has yet to achieve full mental maturity. Perhaps he has only gained his own consciousness not too long ago. Looking at his techniques, I should let him aid me in collecting the treasures. Once he has told me from where they entered this place, it is never too late to kill him then.’
When he thought of that, the Infernal Demon Dragon then said to Jiang Fan, “Little friend, feel free to take the treasures that flew out from the vault. Once you have collected the treasures, bring me to where you enter, and I can give you even more treasures.”
“Gawk! Okay!” Jiang Fan nodded and quickly flew toward a light. As he flew, he thought to himself, ‘You think I am that stupid?’
Jiang Fan’s intelligence had never been low. Only that his ability to express his thoughts had yet to fully develop.
He understood that the Infernal Demon Dragon was extremely powerful. Instead of opposing him openly, he had decided to first agree to play along and take all the treasures, and then find a random place to simply slither his way out.
In order to stop Jiang Fan from escaping, the Infernal Demon Dragon gave a glance to a few weird-looking monsters that looked like ginger. The “ginger” monsters then crawled on the ground and traced Jiang Fan from below.
If they were to try to escape, they would immediately attack them.
“Hm? This is?”
Jiang Fan had successfully caught the third treasures.
The third treasure was a ruler. Two human-shapes were carved into the two ends of the ruler and names could be written into the shapes.
When he looked at the third treasure’s stats, his face was filled with surprise.
Starcrossed: Space-Time Item
Introduction: The ruler was created by the Dragon Emperor of Space-Time. Write down a name in the human-shape on each end of the ruler, and the item can then cause one of them to directly teleport to the other person regardless of the distance of their location. It cannot be used in a place where time and space are very stable.
The ruler only had one introduction and no other stats.
However, it could not have come at a better time for Jiang Fan.
As long as he had the ruler, he could instantly appear next to Jiang Feng and there was no need for him to be afraid of the Infernal Demon Dragon’s threat.
Joyfully, he swallowed the ruler into his stomach and continued chasing after the other light.
Originally, he wanted to pull Jiang Feng over. But when he thought of Jiang Feng’s current power as he glanced at the Infernal Demon Dragon, he gave up on that thought.
If he were to pull Jiang Feng over, he would only cause him to die early. There was no benefit in doing that at all.

When Jiang Feng had brought Zhuge Liang back to the Shifters Nation, he then took out the Lianyao Flask and let out all the elites that he had stored there.
“Master Zhuge, I will leave the Shifters Nation’s people to you. I believe that with your leadership, they will no doubt become extremely strong!” Jiang Feng said with a smile to Zhuge Liang standing beside him.
Zhuge Liang smiled as he fanned his fan, then said with a bitter smile, “I can make them very strong, yes. However, becoming strong will be somewhat difficult as the Nation’s completion rate is only at 15 percent. You have no resources whatsoever. If you wish to train them, then resources are needed!”
“If you have already said that, then you must already have a plan. Say it,” Jiang Feng said to Zhuge Liang with a smile.
Zhuge Liang was surprised as he glanced at Jiang Feng, then he said, “You are quite the smart man, Shifter Emperor. Otherwise, you will not have today’s result.”
“It has nothing to do with me being smart. Whenever I do something, I usually do it without giving it much thought, because I only need strength.”
“Haha! If that is the case, then you should go and look for the Heavenly Ocean Pearl to solve the Shifters’ Nation’s water crisis. Once you have found it, your water issue will be gone. For the plants, you can go to the Elves and move over a Tree of Life. Then, find some seeds and simply spread them across the Shifters Nation. Ores are the simplest. Find an ore vein and move it in its entirety here…”
Jiang Feng immediately had a headache when he heard of Zhuge Liang’s plan.
He found out from Zhuge Liang that the Heavenly Ocean Pearl was the water source of an entire map. Once taken, the entire map’s water would be dried up, and it would not be able to form a new water source within a short period of time. If he wanted to dig it up, it would be very difficult.
That was because next to the water source, there would be some powerful sea monster guardians.
As for the Tree of Life, he could ask Nangong Tiaotiao to ask the Elven elders about it since the elves had already joined the Shifters faction.
The ore vein was also quite difficult. Since he needed to move the entire ore vein from another place, he could not do it on his own. He needed to find some powerful monsters that could dig the earth.
“I’ll do what I can.”
Collecting all these things could not be done in a short amount of time, not to mention that he had not had the time to collect them.
He still had two plot quests to work on. He would only collect them if it was convenient to do so.
After chatting with Zhuge Liang, he then left the Shifter Emperor Palace as he was going to the Royal Qin City to look for Bai Qi.
