Chapter 321: Chapter 255 LV9’s Home Crystal!
 

“Fuck! Brother Cheng rocks! He even managed to kill such a massive bug!”

“Brother Cheng, hurry over!”

“Brother Cheng!”

A little distance away, inside their homeland crystal, the Zhuo brothers hollered and shrieked.

But Zheng Cheng didn’t rush over immediately; instead, he turned around and began attacking the surrounding Flying Thunder Dragons and Sandworms.

Zhuo Wu asked in confusion, “Why isn’t Brother Cheng coming over?”

“Are you stupid? Isn’t Brother Cheng doing this for us? Look at all those alien beasts around us, they’re all six-star level. Have you forgotten our past experiences?”

Upon hearing this, Zhuo Wu shuddered instinctively.

Half a month ago when they had just arrived here, they thought of venturing out to scavenge for resources.

And who would’ve expected they’d bump into a Sandworm.

Even with both of them teaming up, they were no match for the worm and ended up being chased around by it, hollering and screaming for help.

Luckily, they weren’t too far from their homeland crystal, and they dove in, narrowly escaping the Sandworm’s pursuit.

For some reason, the protective barrier around the homeland crystal only blocked alien beasts.

To them, there was no hindrance whatsoever.

That was until half a month later when suddenly, a figure clad in golden armor appeared outside their homeland crystal, pointing and gesturing at them.

It even summoned countless Flying Thunder Dragons and Sandworms to surround them.

They were totally trapped then.

The two cried for help to no avail. Luckily, they had brought ample food with them in their space ring before they entered or else they would’ve starved to death by now.

Unexpectedly, right when the secret realm assessment was about to end, Brother Cheng actually came to save them!

This was… truly touching!

With Zheng Cheng joining the fight, the alien beasts on the top of Black Tower Mountain were swiftly eradicated.

At this point, the burning corpse of the golden-armored beetle also completely extinguished, revealing a gold shell with a diameter of about five meters in Zheng Cheng’s view!

This was Zheng Cheng’s goal!

The golden beetle’s shell was extremely hard. It managed to remain intact despite being burnt by the blood flame, thus illustrating its value.

If he handed it to Baker, another piece of equipment could be refined!

“Brother Cheng!”

Only then did the Zhuo brothers hurriedly run out and rush to Zheng Cheng’s side, almost hugging Zheng Cheng and crying.

Zheng Cheng looked puzzled and asked, “What’s going on with you two? Why did you come here?”

“Boo, I have no idea!”

Zhuo Wu suddenly hugged Zheng Cheng’s thigh and cried, “Brother Cheng! Damn it, it’s like seeing a ghost! You don’t know when I woke up I saw my big brother, I thought we had a massive stroke of luck, that the small secret realm would be ours for the taking if we teamed up. Who knew… boo hoo hoo…”

Zhuo Wen slapped Zhuo Wu on his head and said, “Brother Cheng, let me explain.”

“We both did arrive together, but there was only one homeland crystal nearby, and its level was as high as … LV9!”

Zheng Cheng’s eyes flashed, “So it is…”

Zhuo Wen gave a bitter smile, “At the time we thought we had struck it rich. The functionality of this LV9 homeland crystal is quite insane, and it can even recruit nine-star heroes.”

“But unfortunately, neither of us had any resources on us at all to activate this homeland crystal.”

“Furthermore, all the creatures outside are six-star beasts, we couldn’t gather resources because we couldn’t handle them. Later when the golden bug came, it summoned so many more beasts to siege the area and we couldn’t get out at all.”

“Both of us can do nothing but sit on this treasure trove.”

Zheng Cheng looked a little weird, these two brothers…

Should he say they’re lucky, or unlucky?

They got to the final stage as soon as they entered the secret realm.

But because they were too weak, they weren’t able to do anything at all.

This was… a bit absurd, wasn’t it?

“Brother Cheng, quickly come!”

Zhuo Wu climbed up deftly, pulled Zheng Cheng, and ran towards the homeland crystal.

“You’ve been able to recruit so many different kinds, quickly check if you can activate this homeland crystal!”

The three passed through the homeland crystal barrier without a hitch, standing before a gigantic crystal that was about five meters high.

This colossal crystal was a faint gold color, remarkably transparent on its outer layer while countless filaments swam within.

Upon closer inspection, Zheng Cheng could vaguely make out another polyhedral artifact floating at the very center of the homeland crystal – he wasn’t sure what it was.

Zheng Cheng took a deep breath and placed his hand on the giant homeland crystal.

[Ding…]

[Human contact with the homeland crystal detected. Would you like to consume 1000 units of Life Crystal, 1000 units of Space Crystal, and 1000 units of Energy Crystal to activate this homeland crystal?]

[Please note, upon activation, Jasha Island, an alien battlefield, will connect with the Desolate World.]

Gazing at the prompt displayed before him, Zheng Cheng didn’t rush to activate it but instead started inspecting the specific properties of this homeland crystal.

“Brother Cheng, how is it, impressive, right?”

Zhuo Wu chuckled from the side, “Activate it quickly, recruit a bunch of nine-star troops, and get rid of all the alien beasts in this world!”

Zhuo Wen also chimed in, “Yeah, Brother Cheng, look at those troops you can recruit. You can even recruit nine-star Dragon Knights, Low-Rank Angels, and Sword Masters!”

“And heroes! Nine-star heroes! That’s equivalent to the nine-star professionists in our world, so powerful!”

“Activate it fast, Brother Cheng! The secret realm will close in three days, hurry up and rack up the points!”

“You’ll get rewards from the principal once it’s activated…”

As they continued to goad him from the sidelines, Zheng Cheng pulled his hand back.

“Lo-Lord…”

The giant eagle carrying Sadel swooped down from the sky, and Sadel ran over in a stumbling manner.

Her lovely, stunning face and enchanting, seductive body immediately caught the eye of the Zhuo brothers.

“Holy shit… she’s stunning!”

“A blonde Persian! Brother Cheng, you’re so lucky…”

Sadel ran behind Zheng Cheng but didn’t dare move. All she could do was beg, “My Lord, please, please do not activate it. Our Desolate World is still too weak…”

Behind her, Baker, Zhang San, and Niu Jindao were all there – even Yang Hou’er, despite his serious injuries.

They all stood in silence, watching Zheng Cheng.

The future of the Desolate World was now in Zheng Cheng’s hands.

Meanwhile.

Deep within the black fog, a distorted silhouette, appearing as though it could shatter at any moment, watched in the direction of Black Tower Mountain.

A harsh and cold voice continuously echoed from its mouth.

“Hehehe… Humans, indeed, a golden opportunity to control a world. You mustn’t miss it!”

“Quick, quick, activate it!”

“Only after it’s fully activated can our Mother Goddess truly… descend!”
