A Sheng nodded. "I want to know the limit of how Source of Life this stone tablet can absorb."
Qin Ze looked at A Sheng in disbelief.
What a mad scientist.
"You... didn't get the Forest Clan to cooperate with your experiment, did you?"
A Sheng said, "Of course not."
Qin Ze breathed a sigh of relief.
Thankfully, they weren't completely insane.
"So, what conclusions did you draw from your own experiments?"
Yue Sheng looked at the stone tablet and said in a deep voice, "This stone tablet has growth potential."
"At first, it couldn't draw Source of Life from a distance; it had to press its hand firmly against the stone tablet."
"Later, if you place your hand a few centimeters above the stone tablet, it can also draw upon your Source of Life from a distance."
"As it absorbs more and more Source of Life, this distance gradually increases."
"Now, as long as you're within the area of this room, you can draw from it."
"And it's practically a bottomless pit; I still haven't figured out where its appetite's limit lies."
Qin Ze's expression gradually turned serious.
Yue Sheng is a genuine Higher Star God.
Even the Source of Life could not satiate this stone tablet, which shows how big its appetite was.
If you calculate it this way, even if everyone in the entire Human Race world fed it, it probably wouldn't be enough to fill its teeth.
The stone tablet was like a ticking time bomb.
Buried deep beneath the seabed, no one knows when it will secretly activate.
If Yue Sheng hadn't dug deep into the ground for archaeological research, this stone tablet would never have surfaced.
Yue Sheng continued, "It's like a child that keeps growing stronger; as it gets stronger, it needs to eat more and more."
Qin Ze understood the underlying meaning in Yue Sheng's words.
The food on the stone tablet is probably the entire Human Race world.
Qin Ze voiced his concern. "Won't it be dangerous for the people outside if we leave it here?"
Yue Sheng shook her head. "The stone tablet possesses a strong degree of bluntness."
In other words, it will not actively seek out Source of Life from the outside world unless you offer them to it.
"Furthermore, I've set up elemental magic arrays around it, which can cut off its power at any time."
Yue Sheng waved her hand.
A small tornado rose from the elemental magic circle.
As the tornado spun rapidly, the stone tablet gradually calmed down, and the power emanating from it was completely depleted.
Yue Sheng said, "As you can see, the transmission of the stone tablet's power requires a medium."
"The medium can be any kind of thing; it can be air, a solid, or any liquid."
"In a vacuum, this stone tablet is no different from an ordinary stone tablet."
No wonder he's the Alliance's chief scientist.
In just a few days, they had thoroughly studied the stone tablet.
Qin Ze asked, "What exactly is the stone tablet used for?"
Yue Sheng shook her head. "There's no progress yet."
"But I always felt there were inscriptions on the stone tablet."
The surface of the stone tablet is as smooth as a peeled egg.
Logically speaking, stone tablets are indeed used to record things.
But recording things is only one of the functions of this stone tablet; after all, what kind of good family would have a stone tablet that eats people?
Qin Ze asked, "Is this the only monument under the seabed?"
Yue Sheng nodded. "I've searched the area thoroughly, but there's nothing else there."
The location of the stone tablet is very peculiar.
Directly facing the entrance to the Otherworld No. Zero.
The importance of the Otherworld No. Zero is comparable to that of a major artery.
Qin Ze did not believe it was a coincidence.
"Put the research on this stone tablet on hold for now."
"Restore the Source of Life, and if needed, go to the Forest Clan to pick tree fruits."
" Old Xing has recently discovered Meng Die's whereabouts; a great battle is imminent."
A Sheng nodded slightly. "Okay, I understand."
After leaving A Sheng's research cabin, Qin Ze immediately returned to the Human Race and headed to Otherworld No. Zero.
"A rare guest, what brings you here today?" God of the Underworld looked Qin Ze up and down. "It seems you've made some new gains recently."
Qin Ze suspected that the God of the Underworld had a dog's nose.
He hadn't even absorbed the Soul Orb of Communion yet, but this guy had already "smelled" it.
Qin Ze cut to the chase. "I found a stone tablet in the sea below the entrance to the Otherworld."
"There are no inscriptions on the stone tablet, but it can devour the Source of Life; even feeding the entire world wouldn't be enough for it."
The smile on God of the Underworld' lips vanished, and he asked in a deep voice, "Where is the Rubik's Cube Stele now?"
Rubik's Cube Stele?
Qin Ze couldn't see how the monument resembled a Rubik's Cube.
"I took it away from the Human Race."
The God of the Underworld said seriously, "Put it back in its original place."
Qin Ze frowned. "You want me to bury a time bomb again?"
"Who knows if it might suddenly explode one day, unless you tell me what the Rubik's Cube Stele is really for."
God of the Underworld looked into Qin Ze's eyes. " The Rubik's Cube Stele isn't as dangerous as you think, nor is it the time bomb you claim it to be."
Put it back where it was originally.
Qin Ze remained unyielding. "Why?"
The God of the Underworld was silent for a moment, then said, "The time for it to play its role is approaching."
"I assure you, the true purpose of the Rubik's Cube Stele is definitely not what you think."
Qin Ze frowned. "Another Mystery in the Womb?"
The God of the Underworld nodded.
Qin Ze turned and left, leaving behind the words, "You'd better be telling the truth."
"Otherwise, I'll smash you and this ridiculous mountain beneath your feet to pieces."
Watching Qin Ze's departing figure, the God of the Underworld sighed silently and muttered to himself, "I'm sorry, it has nothing to do with the Mystery in the Womb."
"I'm just afraid that if you know, you'll make the wrong choice. Everyone has waited far too long for this moment; we can't afford to make any mistakes."
Qin Ze found Bu Qingyao at the old home of Miss Sword Case at the foot of Underworld Mountain.
"Ancestor, I have a favor to ask of you."
Bu Qingyao's lips twitched slightly; this form of address made it hard for her to maintain her composure.
She had emphasized many times not to call her that, but Qin Ze had never changed his ways.
"What's up?"
Qin Ze said, "I will place a stone tablet at the entrance in a while. You will look after it, Ancestor. I don't trust anyone else to do it."
Bu Qingyao tilted her head slightly. "A stone tablet?"
Qin Ze explained, "A stone tablet that can devour people might just wipe out the entire Human Race."
"That God of the Underworld isn't telling me the truth, we need to be careful."
Upon seeing the stone tablet capable of devouring the entire world, Bu Qingyao realized the gravity of the situation.
"This stone tablet can't be taken anywhere right now; it can only be placed at the entrance to the Otherworld."
Bu Qingyao said, "I will keep a close watch."
Qin Ze sighed, "Our ancestor is truly too understanding."
After making a round trip to the Forest Clan, Qin Ze brought the Rubik's Cube Stele back and put it back in its original place.
The Alliance's chief scientist was very unhappy and followed them back to the entrance to the Otherworld.
A Sheng plans to stay here permanently, and will return whenever he can encircle and annihilate Meng Die.
