Chapter 636: Greenfield Begins to Show Her Strength, Greenfield Begins to Display Her Prowess

On the Civilization Ladder.

The investigation by the Fallen Abyss into the person who killed Anta had been ongoing for two days, but it still persisted.

Not only had the intensity not diminished, but it had actually grown fiercer.

As a quasi-Gold-tier player of the Fallen Abyss, Demon Anta was highly anticipated by the Molten Demons.

Especially since Anta's civilization world was a Molten Core planet, containing destructive essences extremely precious to the Molten Demons.

If Anta could absorb those destructive essences and use them to advance to Gold-tier, his potential would be immeasurable.

But a seed with such limitless potential had simply died like that.

No faction would let it go easily.

However, the situation at this Civilization Relic was quite special. It was impossible to predict or scout, blocking all forms of detection.

Even the identities of the participants had become difficult to confirm.

At this point, only the identities of four players had been confirmed, determined through their death statuses.

Anta, Artus, an elder from the Blood Clan's Old Guard Faction, and a Bronze-rank player.

After investigation, the death times of Anta and that Blood Clan member were nearly identical.

Some also suspected Artus might have some connection to Anta's death.

But now that Artus was dead, there was naturally no way to investigate further.

The identities of the others became the key to a breakthrough.

It was at this moment that a piece of news reached the ears of a Molten Demon in the Fallen Abyss from the [Star Track Cult].

"What? Duke Yegu's direct descendant from the Blood Clan is suspected to be connected to the Civilization Relic?"

A Gold-tier Molten Demon perked up immediately upon receiving this information from his subordinates.

He contacted the [Star Track Cult] directly and obtained more accurate details.

"Focusing the prophecy on the holders of the Civilization Relic Invitation Letters?"

The Molten Demon furrowed his brow slightly.

He had thought there would be some new discovery, but it turned out to be this.

Directing the prophecy toward the invitation letter holders had already been proposed before.

But the invitation letters for that Civilization Relic were also shielded by some kind of rule, making them impossible to investigate.

Soon, however, the Molten Demon saw the information sent by the other party and showed a look of sudden realization.

"The combined effect of two Legendary-tier prophecy items... if that's the case, it might not be impossible."

"Moon Shadow's Breath... she has a significant connection to the Civilization Relic invitation letters..."

The Molten Demon immediately gave orders.

"I want all intelligence on this Moon Shadow's Breath!"

At the same time.

The Snake of Rebirth awoke from its slumber once again.

Because it sensed the sound of its followers calling out to it.

As it felt the transmitted message, an unusually devout and worshipful voice reached its ears through the power of faith.

"Great, immortal Snake of Rebirth, your most loyal servant offers you the most sincere respect. I have found clues about the murderer who killed Lord Artus..."

Hearing the other party's words, the Snake of Rebirth immediately perked up.

"Found clues about the murderer?"

The Snake of Rebirth immediately established a connection with this believer.

It was a sacrificial ritual site. At the center of the ritual stood a statue of the Snake of Rebirth, but of course, this statue couldn't compare to Artus's. It was quite crude.

Yet the statue of the Snake of Rebirth before him began to move...

Hiss, hiss—

The sound of a snake flicking its tongue echoed through the altar. The believer's chanting abruptly stopped, and he looked up in disbelief.

Then he witnessed a sight he would never forget for the rest of his life.

The statue of the Snake of Rebirth came to life. Its body reared up high, its head tilted slightly downward, and its single-pupiled gaze fell upon the believer.

An overwhelming divine presence descended at that moment.

A look of fanatical excitement appeared in the believer's eyes. He had never expected that his prayers would actually receive a response from the revered deity.

"My Lord, your most devout follower welcomes your arrival..."

"Your devotion has been seen. Speak the intelligence you have uncovered!"

"Yes, great, immortal Snake of Rebirth."

"Because that Civilization Relic possesses veiling and undetectable properties, when I communicated with someone from the [Star Track Cult], they proposed a direction for prophecy—investigating the people Lord Artus had contact with before entering the Civilization Relic. There might be a breakthrough."

"And as it turns out, we did find a clue."

Upon hearing this, the Snake of Rebirth's demeanor shifted slightly.

The believer continued.

"According to the prophecy investigation, before entering the Civilization Relic, Lord Artus had a very close connection with Duke Yegu of the Blood Clan. In fact, even just moments before entering the relic, there were traces of contact with Duke Yegu. That's the first point of suspicion."

"The second point of suspicion concerns 'Fire-Spouting Lei.' As a dark agent we planted in the Fallen Abyss, Fire-Spouting Lei was also a standout at Bronze-rank and crucial to our subsequent plans. But yesterday, Fire-Spouting Lei was killed by The Forger of the Wild Throne. That is highly unusual. He shouldn't have started a war with The Forger at all."

"It was during this investigation that I discovered Lord Artus seemed to be connected to Fire-Spouting Lei's death."

"Hmm?"

A dangerous glint flashed in the Snake of Rebirth's eyes.

Fire-Spouting Lei was one of its important Bronze-rank followers.

His importance was no less than that of a Silver-rank follower.

Fire-Spouting Lei's death had also cost it dearly. However, because of the Artus incident, it had temporarily suppressed the matter, planning to settle accounts with the Wild Throne after this affair was over.

But now it seemed things were not that simple.

"I commissioned that prophet to sort through all of Lord Artus's and Fire-Spouting Lei's recent networks of connections. I discovered a startling commonality."

"That is, in the period just before Fire-Spouting Lei launched his war against The Forger, he had extremely intensive contact and communication with Artus. And within a few minutes after their last contact, Fire-Spouting Lei would initiate war with The Forger."

"Around the time Fire-Spouting Lei started the war, Lord Artus was also in close contact with Duke Yegu of the Blood Clan. After Fire-Spouting Lei launched the war, the communication between the two also came to a temporary halt..."

The believer's voice was calm.

"I believe this should not be a coincidence. Duke Yegu seems deeply involved in both Fire-Spouting Lei's and Lord Artus's deaths. He... likely has a direct connection to their deaths."

"After all, Duke Yegu is the core of the Blood Clan's pro-war faction. He personally led the encirclement of the Wolf Clan. And the Wolf Clan is the central civilization of the Wild Throne. The equipment The Forger creates is primarily supplied to the Wolf Clan..."

Having said this, the believer fell silent. He simply prostrated himself deeply, waiting for the Snake of Rebirth's judgment.

The Snake of Rebirth flicked its tongue, sensing the believer's devout faith and pure conviction before it.

That was absolutely impossible to fake.

And the analysis just given was logically rigorous, without any flaws.

But the snake's unique caution and wariness prevented the Snake of Rebirth from easily trusting the believer's intelligence.

It decided to investigate personally.

"Tell me the name of that prophet from the [Star Track Cult]!"

"Great, immortal Snake of Rebirth. That prophet's name is—the Greenfield Cruise Ship..."
