Chapter 144: The Extraordinary World, the Awakening World
Noah had always been very curious about the Remnant World, which was composed of countless world shards swallowed and left behind by the Abyss.
Back in the Original Forest instance, due to time constraints, after Lily read the memory of the Three-tailed Giant Fox, she only mentioned the more important content.
More details required a long time to sort out because they were too complex, so Noah didn’t pay further attention.
Now, after Lily read the memories of two Three-order monsters and spent a long time organizing them, she finally pieced together a relatively detailed set of information.
The Remnant World was boundless, composed of countless world shards, and no one knew how many world shards were inside.
The second Three-order monster had lived for over two hundred years, and in its memory, when its world shards fell, the Remnant World was already boundless.
In countless world shards, there existed an incalculable number of Demonized Monsters.
After being transformed into Demonized Monsters, their reproductive capabilities did not disappear.
The populations of some highly fertile races increased dramatically, quickly reaching the carrying capacity of their world shards.
After all, their original worlds had long been swallowed by the Abyss, leaving behind only some world shards, so how large could they be?
It was also fortunate that Demonized Monsters fed on demonic energy; otherwise, relying solely on some world shards would not be enough to sustain them, but world shards had a carrying capacity limit.
At this point, these highly fertile races were left with only two paths.
First, constantly invade other worlds, earn merit, and consume the excess "population" within the race.
Second, wage war against races in other world shards, allowing their own world shards to devour others’ world shards, raising the level and territory of their world shards, and gaining larger living space.
Endless battle was the main theme of the Remnant World.
The world shards where the Three-tailed Giant Fox and the other Three-order monster were located were both level three, and could only accommodate up to Three-order.
If they wanted to advance to Fourth-Order, they first had to raise their world shards to level four.
To upgrade a world shards, they either had to devour other world shards or earn merit in world invasions to receive rewards from higher-ups.
...
In the eyes of the Three-tailed Giant Fox and other Demonized Monsters, the outside worlds were divided into three categories.
Ordinary World, Extraordinary World, and Awakened World.
Naturally, there was no need to say more about Ordinary Worlds.
Most of the world shards in the Remnant World came from various Ordinary Worlds, and the former Blue Star was also just an Ordinary World.
Ordinary Worlds were the weakest; they didn’t even require conquest.
Just the influx of demonic energy was enough to destroy a world, killing or transforming the life forms within.
These types of worlds were irrelevant to Demonized Monsters.
The main targets of the Demonized Monsters were Extraordinary Worlds and Awakened Worlds.
The current Blue Star was an Awakened World.
This was also the most detested type of world by Demonized Monsters, because Awakened Worlds had the ability to purify demonic energy, which often made their battles twice as hard for half the result.
For Awakened Worlds, Demonized Monsters always pursued complete destruction.
Among the world invasions the Three-tailed Giant Fox participated in, it destroyed three Awakened Worlds.
In the memory of the other Three-order monster, it destroyed seven Awakened Worlds.
Destroying Awakened Worlds yielded the most generous rewards from the higher-ups.
As for Extraordinary Worlds, they referred to worlds possessing powerful extraordinary forces.
These worlds did not have the ability to purify demonic energy, so during world invasions, while fighting bloody battles against Demonized Monsters, they also had to face the erosion of demonic energy.
Because Extraordinary Worlds could be transformed by demonic energy, low-level Demonized Monsters who only knew slaughter did not participate much.
The main forces were higher-level Demonized Monsters, and sometimes even Abyssal Demons would personally take action.
The Three-tailed Giant Fox and the other Three-order monster had never participated in invading Extraordinary Worlds; they only knew about them.
Three-order was incomparably stronger than First Order and Tier 2, and rarely had opponents on Blue Star.
However, among Demonized Monsters, they were still considered low-level monsters.
Fourth-Order was considered entering the middle tier.
Generally speaking, invading a nascent Awakened World like Blue Star would be led by Fourth-Order.
This time was no exception.
Fourth-Order Monsters did not necessarily enter the field because worlds were different.
Some nascent Awakened Worlds were very weak, and the spatial passages formed were also very fragile, preventing Fourth-Order from passing through.
"Two Fourth-Order Monsters?"
Looking at the information stating that the Demonized Monsters invading Blue Star were led by two Fourth-Order Monsters, Noah shook his head slightly.
"More than that."
"Ah?"
Lily opened her mouth: "But in the memories I read, there were indeed only two Fourth-Order Monsters."
"One Fourth-Order Monster has already been shot dead by me.
There’s only one left.
Is it coming to its death?"
Noah didn’t say anything more.
In the Remnant World, there were too many high-level Demonized Monsters.
If they found Blue Star difficult to deal with, they would naturally request reinforcements.
Of the two Fourth-Order invading Blue Star, the Demonized Giant Ape was shot dead by Noah with an arrow, needless to say.
The other Fourth-Order Monster came from the Fishman Race.
In the Remnant World, the world shards where the Fishman Race was located was level five, possessing Fishmen up to Five-Order expert.
Fishmen had extremely strong reproductive capabilities and were numerous.
To reduce their population size, they had always served as the main force in the world invasions they participated in, and this invasion of Blue Star was no exception.
The death of tens of millions of low-level Fishmen was completely negligible to the Fishman Race.
It was likely that the world shards they were located in was no smaller than their original world.
After reading the information for a while, Noah gained a deeper understanding of the Remnant World.
What made him vigilant was that once targeted by the Remnant World, there would be no peace forever.
It wasn’t enough to repel this world invasion and end this Ghost-Level Calamity to rest easy.
The Remnant World and Awakened Worlds were mortal enemies.
Since an Awakened World had been discovered, they would definitely not stop until it was completely destroyed.
In the Three-tailed Giant Fox’s memory, three world invasions had resulted in the complete destruction of those three Awakened Worlds in a single invasion.
However, in the memory of the other Three-order monster, there was one world invasion that encountered a tough opponent and failed to resolve that world in a single invasion.
After that, they tore open the spatial passage again and launched a larger-scale world invasion to finally destroy that Awakened World.
Unfortunately, key information such as how the Remnant World opened spatial passages, how they discovered Awakened Worlds, and the time interval between two Disasters were not mentioned in the memories of the two Three-order monsters.
Their ranks were still too low to involve higher-level matters.
"The next Disaster from the Remnant World will likely be Human-Level."
Noah understood.
Once targeted by the Remnant World, the conflict could only end with the complete extinction of one side.
Completely resolving the threat of the Remnant World was far beyond what the current Blue Star could achieve.
Noah didn’t bother with such distant concerns; he would deal with problems as they came.
The key now was still to resolve this Ghost-Level Calamity.
Otherwise, if the instances remained inaccessible, the Awakeners would be unable to grow.
Noah could continuously grow stronger, and not entering instances had less impact on him.
However, the higher his rank, the faster his rate of improvement.
He also didn’t want to be stuck, not to mention the existence of timed difficulty.
