149: Chapter 151 The Shocking Alien

Heri's expression looked a bit awkward.

He tried for a third time.

The scanner flickered with light.

It emitted a beeping alarm.

And once again displayed: Unable to detect!

Heri took a step back.

And said cautiously,

"My Lord, this device seems to be broken."

Rogge's eyes were as deep as an abyss,

shimmering with a faint glimmer of surprise.

He raised his hand.

A smaller, yet darker crystal floated in his palm.

This piece of equipment seemed to be an upgraded version of the one in Heri's hand.

Thousands of mysterious patterns flowed within it.

"Try this."

Rogge spoke.

Heri took it with both hands.

He knew this was not an ordinary scanner.

This was an eleventh-generation scanner.

Specifically designed to detect Advanced civilizations.

It had never been used on such a low-level planet.

Even holding it,

his palms were sweating.

He couldn't help but swallow hard.

Then, he initiated the scan.

As the device swept across every corner of the world,

and performed the Extraction of data,

one could hear a pin drop in the room.

There was only the buzzing sound of the instrument probing.

Everyone was waiting.

This time, it took longer.

— almost a full minute.

Heri felt relieved.

Suddenly, he was full of anticipation.

As expected of Advanced equipment.

It was indeed useful.

Finally,

the light faded.

The information displayed:

Unable to detect.

Heri suddenly felt his mouth go dry.

He tried it again.

The answer remained unchanged.

He looked up at Rogge.

Rogge was currently staring at Lu Chen.

His expression was no longer just curious,

but solemn.

He was deep in thought.

He was a hegemon of a large galaxy.

A life form that had lived for hundreds of millions of years.

In his long life,

he had never seen a planet with potential that exceeded the scanning limit of an eleventh-generation scanner.

But perhaps...

"Scan again,"

Rogge commanded.

He immediately raised his hand,

pointing his finger at Lu Chen.

"This time, exclude this young man."

Lu Chen blinked.

But he remained silent.

Heri immediately adjusted the device.

And started the probe again.

The instrument buzzed again.

Everyone held their breath and waited.

This time,

the result came quickly.

A number appeared on the screen.

Heri's eyes almost popped out of their sockets.

600,000.

He felt as if his chest had been punched hard.

Six hundred thousand?

This was the potential value of those powerful civilizations.

A value that could only be achieved by planets with populations and technologies hundreds of times greater than this one.

He activated the instrument again,

to perform a scan.

He felt there might be some issue.

The data appeared quickly.

It was still the same number.

Rogge's expression did not look very surprised this time.

His face was serious,

his eyes thoughtful.

Looking at Lu Chen in front of him,

his eyes were full of inquiry.

Heri swallowed hard.

"My Lord," he said in a low voice, "how can this be?"

Rogge did not answer.

He waved his hand gently.

A flat metal disk that looked like a palette appeared in his hand.

It had seven color grids on it — purple, blue, cyan, green, yellow, orange, red.

"Place this device in your hand,"

Rogge said.

"This is equipment for probing personal potential."

"It was forged by integrating the Law of Destiny, and it can show what Realm a life form can ultimately reach in their lifetime."

Lu Chen looked at the disk carefully.

He could feel that,

with every word Rogge spoke,

the pressure in the room increased.

Finally, Rogge's voice became extremely deep.

"Under normal circumstances, I generally wouldn't use this. But your situation... is different."

He lifted his gaze,

looking at him.

"Child, take this device in your hand and inject the energy within your body into it."

Lu Chen stepped forward.

His palm touched the smooth metal wall,

and he immediately felt a chill.

He closed his eyes,

and guided his own power to slowly flow into the disk.

At first,

nothing happened.

Afterward,

the red grid lit up.

This meant he could reach Rank A.

The surrounding envoys whispered to each other,

a faint murmur spreading.

Next,

the orange grid lit up — representing Rank S.

Then yellow — representing Rank SS.

Green — Rank SSS.

Heri's mouth slowly opened.

Then,

the cyan grid began to glow.

Rank X, the Realm of a large galaxy hegemon.

At this moment, even Rogge's body leaned forward slightly.

Immediately after,

the blue grid lit up.

Rank XX.

The strongest of Advanced Universe civilizations were only at this level.

Rogge widened his eyes.

He never thought he would see a Genius of this Rank on this primitive planet.

But things were not over yet.

Finally,

the purple grid also lit up.

Then it burst forth with brilliant light.

The brilliant light was too dazzling,

stinging them so much they had to cover their eyes.

Subsequently,

after the disk measured a supreme Dominator talent,

in Lu Chen's hand,

it began to vibrate violently.

Then it erupted with a burst of intense white light.

With a bang,

it shattered.

Glowing metal fragments scattered everywhere,

spreading across the whole room.

For a moment,

no one moved,

nor did anyone speak.

Rogge swallowed hard.

Lu Chen saw awe in the other's eyes.

In his long life of hundreds of millions of years,

he had never seen a situation where a Law of Destiny device was destroyed.
