Chapter 1346 - 796: Black Thorn Tower

The White Crystal Star System is shaped like a dispersed disk, with the Boat-Wing Paulownia constellation located near its center.

The Boat-Wing Paulownia Star System is a third-tier Source Star System, access to which is restricted.

However, just 14 light-years away from the Boat-Wing Paulownia Star System lies a secondary Source Star System known as the 'Eight She Star System'.

The Eight She Star System serves as the trade center of the White Crystal Star System, a hub for large-scale goods transactions.

For instance, the mining stars operated by major commerce chambers of levels four, five, and six produce Origin Force materials in tons, which they send here to sell at good prices.

Similarly, many major commerce chambers turn Host Realm level Origin Force food into Gene Potions and bring them here for trade or exchange, enriching their shop's selection of Gene Potions.

The Eight She Star System is also a wholesale center for technological products of human civilization,

Only the seventh and eighth-level, and a few fifth and sixth-level Flame Spider Commerce entities, can apply for qualifications to directly contact and trade with human civilization.

Some trinkets produced by human civilization are sold here in bulk, while certain larger objects can be pre-ordered.

Other small Flame Spider commerce entities can come here for wholesale purchases or pre-orders.

Many transactions can be done by the White Ivy Chamber of Commerce, but not by the Xianglan Chamber of Commerce.

Such as the ecological base stations for transforming planets, life bases, and reverse-ecological base stations.

The White Ivy Chamber of Commerce can come here, collaborate with major commerce chambers for wholesale, and even support customization, branding them with the 'White Ivy Grass' mark, and claim them as White Ivy Chamber of Commerce's production when sold.

For example, Knowledge Compasses, notebooks, short-range callers, as well as small components for Star Spiders and Starship repairs, and various such small items.

Additionally,

The Eight She Star System also has many fun recreational sites built with human science and technology.

Last time, when Dragon Cypress and Ink Orchid were on a long journey, they passed by here and played once. On the return trip, Ink Orchid persuaded them to detour and play again.

This is Dragon Cypress's third entry into the Eight She Star System.

…

Departing from the Sheep Hoof Bettles Star System, only two transfers are needed to reach the destination.

Dragon Cypress took a short-haul Star Spider within the system to the South 9999 Zone square on the Mountain Yan Star, where they had arranged to meet Chairman Four-Number.

The busiest source star system in the entire White Crystal Star System, without exception.

Insects came and went, heads bustling together, waves and waves of insects.

Dragon Cypress activated the Soul-Setting Ability, scanning through, with the Wisdom Brain Ability running in sync, but detected no trace of Chairman Four-Number's soul.

Opened the Star Network account to check,

[Time: Year 791 of the 78th epoch in the 159 Yuan]

The certification activity starts from the 000th year of the 159 Yuan and lasts until the 900th year.

900 years in total.

Dragon Cypress and Four-Number's appointment was for year 800 of the 159 Yuan.

Still 9 years to go.

That means Four-Number has not arrived yet.

Dragon Cypress walked out of the square unhurriedly, slowly heading north.

Entering the trade zone, wandering aimlessly.

After wandering back and forth and feeling quite bored, they entered the North 2003 Zone.

A square shrouded by a black hemispherical Primordial Energy Barrier.

Surrounded by high walls formed from black thorns.

From the outside, the place looked somewhat stern and threatening.

[Thorn Tower]

A place for entertainment and cultivation.

Inside, there is a technological device called the 'Cocoon Nest', where Insect Clan Warriors enter, and the device reads the star core and body information, converting them into data to construct a virtual identity in the Void Universe.

Once consciousness enters the Void Universe, abilities can be freely activated to fight.

There are three modes: Black Thorn Tower Challenge; Random Match Battles; Friendly Spars.

When Ink Orchid was around, Dragon Cypress did not much like playing this.

However, this time Ink Orchid isn't here…

Dragon Cypress came to test some abilities.

After evolving to the Star Realm, many offensive abilities on life planets are hard to test due to their overwhelming power, which can cause irreversible damage.

In the Void Universe, such concerns do not exist.

…

Following the broad straight path ahead, it ends at a platform 100 meters high.

Representing a four-layered step system for Level 4 God-Level Civilizations, with each layer having 49 steps.

Ascending the steps, a long row of 49 entrances approximately 2 meters wide, separated by Star Pillars.

In front of each Star Pillar, there are Primordial Spider Warriors standing guard.

Various Insect Clan Warriors are coming in and out.

Dragon Cypress queued up, approached the Star Pillar, opened Star Network communication, and got a number plate…

"Eh?"

"Dragon Cypress Ant King!"

A familiar call using spiritual power came suddenly from the left-side exit passage.

Dragon Cypress turned to look...

White Ivy, Red Peach, Yellow Peach, and Fish Vine.

What a coincidence?!

Dragon Cypress quickly returned the number plate and stepped forward to join White Ivy and the others.

"Dragon Cypress Ant King, did you come here to participate in the special ability certification?"

"Of course."

"Alone?"

"Alone. The journey was quite smooth, each Star Spider transfer was perfectly timed without much waiting, so I arrived 9 years earlier than scheduled, wandering around to test some abilities. How about you guys?"

"We came to survey the market, looking for suitable goods to stock up and diversify the items in the Tree Blossom Shop. Additionally, Fish Vine's 'Gate of Truth' is amazing, and we plan to apply for it, also wanting Fish Vine to have a special ability certified, but unfortunately, it doesn't meet the criteria, it doesn't work."

"Oh..."

The so-called 'special ability' requires that it must be convertible into a commodity for circulation and trade, and can be mass-produced on a large scale.

Fish Vine's 'Gate of Truth' is impressive, but it doesn't fulfill this basic condition, even thinking with claws, it's obviously not feasible.

White Ivy mostly wanted to exploit the 'Shanglu Divine Pattern' for convenience, but it evidently failed.

"That really is a pity."

Dragon Cypress gave a perfunctory response, then switched topics and asked, "Chairman White Ivy, why are you here?"
