Jiang Ziliu left A Kun at the Jiang Clan's headquarters to continue monitoring him, while he himself quickly headed west to investigate the situation there.
His elder brother also disappeared after fleeing westward.
Jiang Ziliu made Probability Judgment and determined that his elder brother was still alive and was in the western region.
Strangely, when determining the location of his elder brother, the Probability Judgment consumed more Dark Energy than he currently had at his maximum Dark Energy limit!
This means that the eldest brother is likely no longer in the real world, but in a very high-level, very mysterious place.
This time, he wanted to explore this mysterious aspect of information and see if he could rescue his elder brother while investigating the Jiang Clan's secrets.
Jiang Ziliu traveled westward, and at the westernmost edge of the Chang'an Great Base Cluster was the Green Forest Base.
Further west lies desert, Gobi, sandy beaches, sparse grasslands, and snow-capped mountains. Even though the world has changed, few foreign tribes are willing to invade this area.
The reason is simple: Dark Energy is relatively scarce in such places. If you stay in such a place for too long, neither beast tamers nor beast tamers will be able to absorb the Dark Energy Dark Energy of heaven and earth. Instead, they will seep out their own bodies, which is a losing proposition.
This area was originally a region extremely rich in Dark Energy.
However, a terrible invasion of alien beasts broke out later. The Human Race dropped super high-energy nuclear weapons on this area, and the powerful alien beasts also launched a terrible natural disaster attack. The combined forces of both sides shattered something in this area, causing a state of desolation in terms of Dark Energy and life.
Countless years later, the radiation here has dissipated, but the Dark Energy can never be restored.
It was as if this place were a leaky hole.
In such a place, strange beasts and alien races dare not linger, unless they no longer wish to grow stronger.
But in such places, some alien races from outer space have managed to survive.
Because these alien races are not pursuing power and growth, but rather a stable and peaceful living environment.
Anyway, their own growth potential isn't very high.
For example, Halfling Race, Rabbit Human Race, Cat-Person Race, and some fox-woman branches of orcs live in such regions.
Halfling Race, a mountain race from another inhabited planet in space.
They are skilled in food and possess a strong ability to enhance culinary techniques.
However, their strength is very weak. The highest potential of halflings is only A Grade, and the strongest in the race can only grow to Silver Rank.
With this level of strength, they are completely incapable of protecting them.
Furthermore, they possess the powerful ability to create culinary enhancement foods for beast tamers, a skill that can be used to strengthen their beast tamers through dietary supplements.
This is an innate instinct they possess, which cannot be passed down to other races.
As a result, the halflings were treated as slaves by the major powerful races.
Some halflings escaped to Earth and settled there. Humans, seeing that they occupied the worst places and that the number of alien invasions was too great, ignored this group of harmless halflings.
The Rabbit Human Race are simply weak and often used as food by brutal races. They search everywhere for a peaceful environment to survive.
The Cat-Person Race and the orc fox-woman branch are so beautiful and alluring that they are the easiest to be made into female slaves in the starry sky.
Some of them also escaped to Earth and settled down in this seemingly desolate place.
Jiang Ziliu traveled underground, observing these races along the way.
They were indeed very weak, and they were all beast tamers.
However, the beasts that are highly compatible with them have very limited growth potential.
The fox-woman clan is a special case.
They can only give birth to females, and they reproduce by drinking a wine they brew themselves.
This wine will cause them to give birth to a female fox spirit if they drink it, while people of other races, regardless of gender, will definitely become pregnant, and the child will also be a female fox spirit.
This is a medicinal wine with a flavor similar to that of the Mother-Child River.
Their orc fox clan produces a powerful fox queen every 100,000 years, making them extremely terrifying.
Unfortunately, no matter how powerful this empress was, she would inevitably disappear mysteriously within 30,000 to 50,000 years after her appearance.
The Starry Sky Races also feared this powerful empress who was bound to appear, and thus oppressed them.
Only humans, with some sense of responsibility, are willing to take them in and allow them to live peacefully here without leaving the area.
These people live near oases or underground.
But they all have one very special skill: they are very good at digging holes.
Digging a hole can protect you, allow you to escape, and store supplies, which is especially important in such a desolate environment.
In this region, the number of strange beasts is very small, and they are very weak; there are almost no powerful strange beasts.
The more Jiang Ziliu observed the environment, the more he felt that there must be something fishy going on behind the Jiang Clan's opening of a new Dungeon Space here.
The further west you go, the more you feel the desolation and the more terrifying it becomes.
Even Jiang Ziliu felt that his Dark Energy was in a state of loss.
The maximum life form that can be accommodated here is the Bronze level.
His Dark Energy Dark Energy will not stop unless it drops to the Bronze level.
Jiang Ziliu is now pondering how the Jiang Clan family, who have created a new Dungeon Space here, prevented this loss of Dark Energy.
He felt that there must be a great secret involved.
Jiang Ziliu continued his journey and finally arrived at a vast uninhabited area, which could also be considered a completely lifeless zone.
This is because it is a completely lifeless desert, and also the place where the most intense battles between humans and strange beasts took place in the past.
"Don't go any further! The area ahead is Gray Light Zone!"
Just as Jiang Ziliu was preparing to continue, he received a warning from the Forging Throne.
Gray Light Zone!?
What is that?
Jiang Ziliu asked questions when he didn't understand, and that's how he got the answer.
It turns out this involves the primordial world of the mythical beasts.
The normal starry sky is a region where Dark Energy exists, and it is the world inhabited by all normal life forms.
But strange beasts are not life forms from the normal world.
They originate from a special, alien cosmic dimension, representing an invasion of the normal universe from that dimension.
In response to this invasion, the will of the normal starry universe created the profession of Beast Tamer to limit the invasion of alien beasts and even achieve the result of counter-invasion.
After these alien beasts from other universes invade the normal world, they can convert their power into Dark Energy for the normal universe by devouring an Wisdom life form from that universe.
Moreover, they will become smarter and have greater potential for growth in the process.
The alien beasts in other cosmic realms cannot possess Wisdom until they reach the Supreme Rank.
However, once they arrive in the normal universe, they can possess Wisdom even when their strength is very low, instead of being purely ferocious beasts with only a violent attack instinct.
This alien universe can also be seen as Negative Universe.
Dark Energy also exists there, but it possesses a highly malevolent Dark Energy, and from the perspective of beings at the level of the Forging Throne, it emits a gray light that is distinct from that of the world, filled with an abnormal aura!
Therefore, regions where this kind of Negative Universe, with its alien Dark Energy, exists, are called Gray Light Area.
The Gray Light Area represents the infiltration of this alien, Negative Universe energy into the real world.
Jiang Ziliu also understood why the Dark Energy in this area was so weak: the Dark Energy here was instinctively used by the universe to neutralize the Gray Light Energy.
Dark Energy's top priority in the rules is to counter Gray Light Energy.
It was continuously consumed, naturally becoming a region with low levels of Dark Energy.
The Gray Light Area has been present in one place for a long time can only explain one thing.
That is, this place has a natural spacetime gap between the normal universe and the otherworldly Negative Universe, and there is a natural connection node.
Such a situation is something even the universe itself doesn't have a good solution for.
Gray Light Energy is a terrible form of pollution to normal life.
Once it's contaminated, cleaning it up becomes extremely difficult and challenging.
Fortunately, the Gray Light Energy here is of a very low grade, and it's also the weakest kind.
Even so, this place is a forbidden zone for life.
This applies not only to life in the normal universe, but also to the alien beasts in that otherworldly Negative Universe.
Because the Gray Light Energy in this area is constantly being neutralized, the level is very low.
Moreover, this neutralization process will make the area extremely dangerous, completely unsuitable for survival, and even for any activity.
Such a dangerous place, which has no obvious special resources, is extremely useless, or even harmful.
What is the Jiang Clan family planning to do by opening Dungeon Space in such a region?
He didn't believe the other party was simply establishing a secret Lineage security branch here.
A safe branch could be secretly established anywhere with a different surname, so why choose such a dangerous place? It would be truly strange if there weren't huge profits and shady dealings involved.
Jiang Ziliu became increasingly curious about this question.
Jiang Ziliu's intuition told him that there must be a special safe passage in this area that would allow the Jiang Family to enter and exit safely.
