851: Several similar flowers, aspiring to devour stars.

Upon learning that the Dimension Butterfly could not find that spider, Yang Dian had a fleeting moment where he wanted to turn around and leave.

But after calming down and thinking it over carefully, he felt there was no need to be so nervous.

If that spider could truly crush him, it wouldn't have used a dimension storm to sweep him up back then; it would have simply crushed him to death.

'When that spider first appeared, it could only reach the 77th layer of the space interlayer.'

'The subsequent reach to the 99th layer of the space interlayer was because Bear Tyrant sacrificed everything he had.'

'Whether it was because the spider itself lacked the strength to reach the 99th layer of the space interlayer, or because it didn't want to waste its own power, it all indicated that its abilities were limited.'

Having figured this out, Yang Dian turned his head to look at Silver Spirit:

"How do you usually communicate with that spider?"

"Sacrifice." Silver Spirit was concise:

"Every hundred years, all races in the Thousand Star Battlefield must hold a grand sacrifice."

"At that time, It will descend to receive the offerings."

"I also accidentally saw Its true form during one of the sacrifices."

Speaking of this, Silver Spirit's expression became gloomy:

"As for the offerings."

"Our Human Race's offerings are Geniuses from other alien races, and only Geniuses from other races."

"The more powerful the talent of the alien Genius, the more 'Heavenly Dao' grants us after the sacrifice ends."

"For example, various Spiritual Qi crystals and wonders containing the power of Law."

"Of course, if the offerings cannot satisfy It, It will also bring down calamities."

"Including but not limited to Spiritual Qi becoming violent, and various disasters occurring between heaven and earth that we cannot foresee or resist."

"As for the offerings of other alien races, they include other alien races, as well as other members of the Human Race."

As she spoke, she looked around the surrounding space, confirming that 'Heavenly Dao' had not suddenly appeared, and that the rules modified by Yang Dian had not been changed back, before she continued:

"It is restricting our development."

"It takes away 80% of the resources obtained from plundering Alien Planets."

"Younger generations with outstanding talent in the clan who have the potential to break through shackles and reach the Fifth Rank always suffer inexplicable calamities."

"Whether it is our Human Race or other alien races, it is the same."

"Perhaps It is afraid, afraid that we will break through the shackles and possess the strength to challenge It."

"Or perhaps It is devouring the talents of those Prodigies, turning them into resources to supplement Itself."

"But regardless of which possibility it is, we never had the strength to resist It in the past and could only choose to submit."

After finishing speaking about her situation, Silver Spirit turned her head to look out over the distant land.

With her strength at the Fourth Rank, she could naturally see at a glance what Scar was doing with his group of Machina.

Punishing evil forces, helping the old, weak, and sick, repairing damaged houses, expanding and smoothing roads...

Recalling what Scar said when he left, Silver Spirit appeared somewhat bewildered again:

'How could such a civilization appear in the Universe?'

'And how could such terrifying mechanical lifeforms appear?'

While Silver Spirit was lost in thought, Yang Dian also learned about the myths and legends of the various alien-blooded Human Races on the Thousand Star Battlefield from Blue Hair.

The myths and legends from Blue Hair were similar to those collected by Ya Zi, Ling, and other smart brains, with some slight differences, but nothing major.

In the myths and legends of the various Human Races on the Thousand Star Battlefield, there were quite a few overlapping points with China.

For example, before the Qi Revival, there were similar legends of Zhuanxu cutting down the Jianmu tree and severing the connection between heaven and earth.

There were also stories of the Three Sovereigns ruling the world and the Five Emperors establishing order.

There were also Divine Beasts such as Dragon, Phoenix, Qilin, Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, Black Tortoise, as well as Chaos, Qiongqi, Taowu, and Taotie circulating in the world.

'So, when the Old Ancestors fought their way here, they left a huge impact on this Universe, or at least on the Human Race of this Universe?'

'Could these Blue-blooded and Silver-blooded Human Races even be our long-lost brothers from different parents?'

'Are the Heavenly Court and Shan Hai, two of the nine major powers of the Human Race Alliance, the roots planted by our Old Ancestors in this Universe, or are they indigenous people who obtained the Legacy of our Old Ancestors?'

Various thoughts flowed through Yang Dian's mind, eventually being suppressed one by one.

'Thinking too much is useless; only by improving my strength is it real.'

Thinking of this, Yang Dian cast his gaze toward the core position of the Thousand Star Battlefield, the place where the treasures of all worlds were originally born.

"Although the Thousand Star Battlefield has 'Thousand Star' in its name, in reality, there are over 6,000 stars of various sizes."

"Plus the subsidiary Blessed Lands attached to each star..."

"If I devour the Thousand Star Battlefield, to what extent can my strength be improved?"
