Chapter 720: Chapter 715: Silver Heart Continent
"Guide?"
Bai Pu looked at Speaker Wan.
Speaker Wan, helpless, wrapped his voice with energy and transmitted it to Bai Pu’s ear, saying, "I’ve already followed the consensus of the last meeting and contacted the evolutionary seniors from Huaxia through secret channels... but all messages have sunk into the sea."
"Can’t contact any of them?" Bai Pu frowned and also transmitted, "Didn’t they say that Bailu and Discarding and Letting Go are still around?"
The Ox Demon on the opposite side smiled and said, "There’s no need to transmit in front of me; I can hear you. There could be many reasons why you can’t contact them. The most likely is that the other party has already perished—the world of Evolvers is quite cruel. There’s also the possibility that they are in the ’Black Land’ or the evolver plane and cannot receive messages through conventional means. For example, as far as I know, Lord Bailu is exploring the Black Land’s ’Valley of Evil Omen’ on the Silver Heart Continent."
Since Huaxia’s evolutionary seniors couldn’t be contacted, and they urgently needed intelligence on the Silver Heart Great World, the Ox Demon in front of them was the best choice.
"Senior Ox Demon, if you are willing to act as a guide for Earth and provide important intelligence on the Silver Heart Great World, we welcome you."
Bai Pu said, "I’m wondering, what kind of ’deal’ are you referring to, Senior? What do we need to exchange for intelligence?"
The Ox Demon said, "The current Earth has far too low a spiritual particle intensity; there is nothing I value. What I value is your identity as ’Gaia’s Hand.’"
He paused for a moment and grinned, "Gangxin, you’re a One-star Major General now, right?"
Bai Pu nodded slightly.
"Gaia’s Hand has the opportunity to exchange items with Gaia’s Will every natural month, like a limited wish tree fruit."
The Ox Demon said with a sigh, "It’s truly enviable."
"Does Senior Ox Demon want to exchange items with Gaia’s Will?" Bai Pu asked.
"Yes. I’m not greedy; just once exchange permission is enough." The Ox Demon’s eyes were filled with fervor.
"But I’m currently just a One-star Major General, and the upper limit of items I can exchange is only Tier One Peak, all items used by Awakened."
Bai Pu felt that, as an Evolver, the Ox Demon probably didn’t need Tier One spiritual items.
"You’re right. However, your rank will eventually rise." The Ox Demon smiled, "I need this exchange permission not to use immediately but for when you advance to Two-star Major General."
"Alright." Bai Pu agreed decisively, "Let’s sign the contract, notarized by Gaia’s Will."
Earth has personnel who draft Spiritual Realm Contracts, and the terms agreed upon by both parties are detailed and comprehensive.
The Ox Demon’s requirements mainly focused on the necessity of speaking the truth and providing real intelligence. He must divulge all common-sense information crucial for Earth’s footing in the Silver Heart Great World without concealment.
Bai Pu’s requirements were mainly about the timing and sequence of wishes. Once Bai Pu advanced to Two-star Major General, he must immediately submit the exchange request to Gaia’s Will and provide the list of necessary materials to the Ox Demon.
Of course, the Ox Demon would be responsible for collecting materials needed for the exchange. If the Ox Demon fails to collect the materials within one natural month, Bai Pu has the right to unilaterally terminate the contract.
After signing the notarized contract, their relationship became noticeably closer, with an added layer of trust.
"Let me use a manner you’re more familiar with to describe it."
The Ox Demon thought for a moment and said, "The main body of the Silver Heart Great World is the Silver Heart Star, though Evolvers call it the ’Silver Heart Continent.’ On the Silver Heart Continent, there are five super cities and thousands of small and medium-sized cities, comparable to Earth’s base cities... Of course, the development level of spiritual civilization in the super cities far surpasses that of Earth, that’s for sure.
"The Silver Heart Continent is vast, with large unexplored dangerous areas called ’Black Lands.’ You can think of them as Earth’s ’Wilderness Area.’ Without the strength of an Evolver, entering the Black Lands is a road to death.
"For Earth to establish itself in the Silver Heart Great World, the first step is to solve the issue of identity verification."
The Ox Demon took a sip of tea and pointed at Bai Pu, saying, "You’re Earth’s first Starship Captain, Gaia’s Hand. You can go to any super city on the Silver Heart Continent, find the ’Gaia Group’ office, and apply for Earth’s access to the ’Gaia Network.’"
"Gaia Network?" Everyone looked at each other.
Bai Pu’s mind worked quickly, and he immediately asked, "Is the Gaia Network similar to Earth’s ’Virtual Spirit Realm’?"
"Yes, you can understand it that way. However, the Gaia Network is much more functionally complete than the Virtual Spirit Realm; it can connect all spiritual ability planets in the Silver Heart Great World. When Earth’s Spiritual Essence intensity reaches Tier Two level, breaking through the Celestial Border Black Death Membrane, connecting to other spiritual civilizations in the universe’s depths will also be possible." The Ox Demon said.
The high-level officials of Huaxia understood.
The original Virtual Spirit Realm was Earth’s local server.
And the Gaia Network was connected to the entire Silver Heart Great World and could even network with planets outside the Galaxy Star System!
The Ox Demon, smiling, said, "Accessing the Gaia Network has many benefits, especially for those of you at Tier One Peak; within it, you can purchase methods to cultivate True Intent. As long as you have the money, you can even find powerful Lord Level Evolvers as teachers."
With these words, the Peak Awakened like those in the Dai Sect started breathing more heavily.
These Peak Awakened had long been able to enter the Ascension Plane, break through life’s limits, and become Tier Two Evolvers. Why did they remain at the Awakened level?
It wasn’t because they weren’t honing their power, aspiring to comprehend True Intent Prototypes earlier and break through layers of barriers in the Ascension Plane, giving their evolver journey a more perfect start?
It’s crucial to know that the template on the path of evolution is very important.
When ordinary people first awaken, there are differences between standard templates, elite templates, and enhanced elite templates.
After becoming a Mid-level Awakened, strong individuals become stronger, with enhanced elites aiming for Hero Professions. Someone like Bai Pu, for instance, is directly promoted to an Enhanced Hero Template! This further widens the gap from those with Mid-level standard templates, making it not a problem to fight a group of them.
Templates determine basic attributes and, more critically, priority—essentially the skill priority level determined by "energy strength"! With each higher priority level, you can significantly compress your opponent’s skill effectiveness.
The dread of the Ascension Plane has long been circulating among Earth’s Peak Awakened.
The Ascension Plane throws Awakened into the "Quasi-Evolutionary" plane world. There, even an inconspicuous soldier might kill a seasoned Peak Awakened, and encountering a leader is scarier than a Tier One Lord.
When an Awakened enters the Ascension Plane, out of a hundred people, more than half will fail to ascend.
Of the roughly forty lucky ones who do ascend, most experience varying degrees of template regression; some fall from Hero Professions to Enhanced Elites, others to elite templates... Only a very few manage to maintain their current templates without degradation.
