Chapter 227 The Cosmic Dark Web!!!
"The Heart of the Universe"...
This word, like a heavy brand, was deeply engraved in Su Chen's consciousness.
He finally understood.
Earth is like a child carrying an unparalleled treasure, yet unarmed, walking through a dark forest filled with hungry wolves.
The previous pirates, the "Nightmare Lord," and even the "Star Debris Scavengers" were just minor characters who came along because they smelled something.
The real hunters are the "Star Eater Cult" of the "Reaper" faction.
They've set their sights on Earth, this lucrative prize.
The "Shadow World Auction"... is very likely a scheme they set up to lure themselves, or rather, to draw out the "Guardians" who may exist behind the Earth.
"We must take the initiative and gather more intelligence," Su Chen decided immediately.
Passive waiting will only lead to being beaten forever.
He had to find a way to infiltrate the enemy's ranks.
Figure out what they want to do, how strong they are, and where their weaknesses lie.
And that "cosmic dark web" is undoubtedly the best entry point.
But the question is, how do we get in?
Based on the scattered information gleaned from the comments, this "cosmic dark web" is extremely mysterious.
It is not based on a conventional physical network, but is built on a higher level of spirit and laws.
Without the "key", you can't find the door at all.
Just as Su Chen was pondering, his gaze fell on the unconscious alien pirate captain imprisoned by a special force field in the corner of the laboratory.
That's the guy he captured and has been imprisoning and studying ever since.
A perfect "stepping stone" has come to them of its own accord.
Su Chen's will avatar instantly appeared in the pirate captain's cell.
He reached out and placed his hand on the pirate captain's ugly head.
"Soul Search".
An immense amount of spiritual power instantly surged into the depths of the other party's soul.
The pirate captain's chaotic and sordid memories flashed through Su Chen's mind like a movie in fast-forward.
Arson, murder, looting, betrayal, escape...
Su Chen had no interest in this junk information; he directly searched for memory fragments related to the "Cosmic Dark Web."
He found it very quickly.
In a corner of his memory, he discovered a faint beacon made of spiritual energy.
This was a mental beacon that the pirate captain obtained by chance from the ruins of a more advanced civilization, which could connect to the lowest level public channel of the "Cosmic Dark Web".
For the pirate captain, this thing was of little use; he was too low-level to even be qualified to log in.
But for Su Chen, that was enough.
It's like a ticket to the black market.
Su Chen unceremoniously stripped and copied the spiritual beacon from the other party's soul, then erased the other party's related memories.
After doing all this, he returned to his quiet room, sat cross-legged, and slowly poured his spiritual energy into the beacon.
hum-
A strange feeling came over me.
Su Chen felt as if his consciousness had been ripped out of his body.
Passing through an invisible membrane, I entered a bizarre, chaotic, and disorderly new world.
There is no sky, no earth, only countless distorted rays of light and floating streams of information.
Countless powerful, unfamiliar consciousnesses, filled with various desires, crisscrossed and swam here like schools of fish in the deep sea.
[For Sale: T-3 grade energy crystals, location XXX. Bulk discounts available. Living souls only.]
[Looking to buy: A young, undeveloped planet suitable for biological experiments. Price negotiable.]
[Intelligence Trade: Does anyone know what big moves the 'Reapers' have up their sleeves lately? I'll trade the coordinates of one of the 'Observers' secret outposts for it.]
[Wanted: A madman known as "Tyrant" is extremely dangerous. He destroyed the "Star Debris Scavengers" combined fleet. A reward of 10,000 Soul Crystals will be given to anyone who provides valid information about him!]
Su Chen's consciousness was like that of a newcomer, carefully concealing his presence.
He observes this chaotic interstellar black market under an anonymous, entirely new identity.
He saw countless civilizations conducting all sorts of filthy transactions on it.
Intelligence, technology, slaves, even the coordinates of an entire civilization—anything can be put on the market as long as there's enough price.
This is the dark side of the universe, a naked arena governed by the law of the jungle.
Su Chen even saw the wanted poster for the "tyrant".
He sneered inwardly; it seemed the destruction of the "Star Debris Scavengers" had already caused quite a stir here.
Just as he was preparing to delve deeper into more information about the "Star Eater Cult".
A dazzling, compelling stream of golden information suddenly appeared before his consciousness.
It was a...public invitation.
The cover of the invitation features a strange emblem composed of shadows and starlight, with a line of universal cosmic language written below: "Shadow Realm Auction".
Su Chen's heart skipped a beat; he knew the real show was about to begin.
He "opened" the invitation.
The contents of the invitation stirred a ripple in his usually calm heart, causing his pupils to contract sharply.
At the very bottom of the long, dazzling list of items for the auction.
The final item in the auction was prominently displayed with a line of text written in the most eye-catching font:
[Final Lot: A fragment of a coordinate map, suspected to be from an ancient Earth civilization's "Ark of Creation"]
Genesis Ark!
Ancient Earth Civilization!
These two words struck Su Chen's heart like a hammer blow.
He was almost 100% certain that this was a bait deliberately laid out by the "Star-Eating Cult"!
They may have learned some secrets about Earth through some means, or they might simply be bluffing.
The goal is to lure out him, or rather, the secrets that may exist on Earth that they are unaware of!
This is a conspiracy.
A well-known trap, yet you are forced to step into it.
Because the words "Ark of Creation" have a fatal attraction for any Earthling, especially for Su Chen, a reborn individual.
He looked at the glittering invitation and felt the undisguised malice and temptation it contained.
After a long while, a cold smile slowly crept onto his "face," which was made up of willpower.
"Want to go fishing?"
"It all depends on whether your bait is big enough and my hook is hard enough."
