Chapter 357: Question
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“Do you know why this area is called the Black Mist Zone?”
Ling spoke slowly and actually asked a rather uninformative question.
Jiu Han, upon hearing this, fell into deep thought.
In the past, the answer to this question was very simple.
Because every generation of tribulation transcenders who arrived in this land did so through the descent of the black mist—hence, it was called the Black Mist Zone.
But now, with Zero bringing up the matter, the original answer became obsolete.
Looking thoughtfully at the rolling black mist in the distance, Jiu Han said in a deep voice, “Because of that?”
“Exactly because of that!”
“Every period of time, the Black Mist Zone enters the harvest period. And during the harvest period, all living beings with Source Power cultivation will be harvested! When the harvest period completely arrives, the entire Black Mist Zone will be covered by the black mist… and that’s why it’s named the Black Mist Zone.”
After saying that, Zero fell silent for a moment before saying, “Of course, the spread of the name Black Mist Zone also has some factors induced by certain individuals.”
Jiu Han absorbed the information Zero gave thoughtfully and asked again, “Where did you get all this information?”
Zero said softly, “The horror of the harvest period has only revealed a glimpse so far. The true terror will only manifest when the black mist covers the entire Black Mist Zone.”
“However, this calamity called the harvest period is not entirely unavoidable… at least some extremely special existences can survive the harvest period and successfully move on to the next era.”
“That’s where my information comes from.”
Jiu Han could not help but ask, “Who survived the last harvest period?”
“The Beast King.”
“As far as we know, only it survived.”
The Beast King had long passed away, but the legend left behind by the Beast King persisted.
According to the legend of the Beast King, the high-level figures in the current Black Mist Zone were well aware of the incredibly powerful Blood Patterns Power that could rival the Divine Source of the gods.
But that was all there was to it…
At this moment, when Zero mentioned the legend of the Beast King, Jiu Han was suddenly stunned for a moment.
He muttered, “It’s said that the original ruler of the Black Mist Zone was the Beast King… until the tribulation transcenders appeared and waged a great war against the exotic beasts, driving the Beast King into the Hundred Thousand Mountains, where it was eventually surrounded and killed…”
Zero smiled and said, “Of course we have to surround and kill him. After all, an old thing who survived from the previous era shouldn’t appear in this era. If he doesn’t die, who will?”
Jiu Han said, “But there’s a problem here.”
“Since it was the tribulation transcenders who surrounded and killed the Beast King, the Beast King would surely try to inform these new generations of tribulation transcenders about this matter. After all, these new generations of tribulation transcenders will eventually experience the harvest period. The positions of both sides are actually the same, and I don’t think there’s any reason for them to fight…”
As he spoke, Jiu Han’s voice gradually weakened.
This was because logically speaking, things should indeed develop this way.
However, the truth was that the Beast King died, and the news about the harvest period was also blocked…
There was only one explanation.
“Someone behind the scenes is secretly pushing this matter?”
Zero shrugged, making a gesture that it was inevitable.
There was even no need to ask who the mastermind was… Jiu Han already had a vague answer in his mind.
“Eternal?”
“But the age doesn’t match…”
“No, age is not important. For a qualified mastermind, the more identities one has, the better…”
There was no need for Zero to say more.
Jiu Han had already inferred the cause and effect of this battle.
“Subversives… meaning to overturn the original order in the Black Mist Zone and find a way for the myriad races in the Black Mist Zone to survive. The obstacles standing in front of us are the Eternal God Lord and the Eternal Clan ruled by him.”
Speaking softly, Zero continued, “It was your Eternal Clan that set a precedent for hunting exotic species. For this, you even established an organization called the Sky-Monitoring Bureau.”
“Eternity really treats others as fools… He thinks that his hands and feet are clean and nimble, but he doesn’t know that the Beast King has long used an unexpected method to secretly transmit some key information.”
Muttering to himself, Zero continued, and Jiu Han just listened selectively.
After all, he could not only listen to one person on such a big matter.
After Zero finished speaking, Jiu Han began to think before asking, “So, why did something like the harvest period appear in the Black Mist Zone?”
“Why did you subversives detonate the harvest period in advance?”
“And, how can one survive this harvest period you speak of?”
Jiu Han asked three questions in one breath, and Zero answered them one by one.
“The first question is, why is there such a thing as the harvest period…”
“Unfortunately, 1 can’t answer this question. I don’t know either. It’s not in the Beast King’s intelligence.”
“For now, we can define the harvest period as a type of natural disaster… This is the internal definition of the harvest period within us subversives.”
With that said, he gave Jiu Han some time to digest. Zero continued, “The second question, why did we detonate the harvest period in advance.”
“Firstly, it’s to deal with Eternity. Secondly, it’s to achieve our second major goal from this matter.” freeweb novel. com
The first major goal, detonating the harvest period, had already been completed by the Desolate Demon Lord.
As for the second major goal and how to achieve it, Zero would not disclose it to Jiu Han at the moment.
Jiu Han wisely did not ask further.
Zero continued, “The third question is how to survive the harvest period.”
“For now, 1 have three methods.”
“Three? That many?” Jiu Han looked at Zero in surprise and saw Zero nod slightly.
“Yes, three.”
“First, learn from the Beast King and use the unparalleled power of blood patterns to resist the harvest period. The difficulty is high and the risk is high. Moreover, it’s only suitable for individuals.
“Second, this involves our second major goal, and 1 can’t tell you in detail.”
“Third, rely on the power of exotic species.”
With that said, Zero paused for a moment and added, “There is a peculiar characteristic of the anomalies in the black mist—they only hunt transcendent beings with Source Power systems, and they turn a blind eye to exotic species.”
“By utilizing the power of exotic species, 1 have a certain probability of protecting more people.”
Of course, it was only a certain probability.
The information Zero knew about the harvest period was inferred from clues. Whether the power of exotic species could protect the majority of people through the harvest period remained unknown.
Jiu Han also understood the implication in Zero’s words.
“The emphasis is on the second point, right?”
As he asked this, Zero nodded gently. “Yes, the emphasis is on the second point, our next big goal. First and Third are just safeguards, and uncertain safeguards at that.”
Jiu Han pondered for a long time before speaking.
“One last question.”
“What’s wrong with the Source Power Extraordinary System?”
Jiu Han had now confirmed that there was a huge problem with the Source Power extraordinary system.
Actually, he had already sensed that there were some issues with the silver patterns and the divinity.
But Jiu Han did not know the specific problems.
Now, hearing about the harvest period specifically targeting Source Power transcendent beings, if Jiu Han still could not figure out that there was a problem with this transcendent system, then his brain would be wasted.
Hearing Jiu Han’s question, Zero spoke softly.
“The issue with the Source Power and the issue with the Divinity are actually connected.” 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝙚𝒘𝙚𝙗𝙣𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝙘𝒐𝓶
“These two things are bestowed by others and not obtained by ourselves…”
“Maybe we can understand it this way.”
“The Source Power of this world and everything related to Source Power, all have masters.”
As soon as Zero finished speaking, Jiu Han stroked his beard and said,
“And now, that master wants to reclaim what belongs to him.”
“Hence, the harvest period.”
Jiu Han himself answered the question of why there was a harvest period.
Zero thought for a moment and said, “Perhaps. However, the harvest period does not seem to be manipulated by humans. It’s more like a natural phenomenon. That’s why we have the means to detonate the harvest period in advance… Therefore, 1 still say the same thing.”
“I can’t give you an answer to your first question..”
