Born Sacred

Noah was not in a hurry to use this Intermediate Skill Crystal.

After all, several skills he had were stuck at level 9 for several days now, using it now would be too wasteful.

Unless it was confirmed that perfect-level skills would undergo a qualitative change after reaching max level, only then would it be worth using.

With his Talent, the value of this skill crystal was still too ordinary for Noah.

Shaking his head, Noah looked at the last prize.

[Yellow Marrow Grain]

[Quality: Excellent]

[Type: Grain Seed, Special Item]

[Slowly grows by absorbing world spirit energy, matures once a year, long-term consumption can increase Strength +150, Agility +100, Constitution +200, Spirit +100]

"Good stuff."

Noah’s eyes lit up.

Yellow Marrow Grain was an excellent-grade item; originally, Noah couldn’t be bothered to even look at it, but because it was a special item, he paid attention.

Who knew it would be a surprise.

This Yellow Marrow Grain was a special item of the same type as the Spiritual Rice Root Seedling. As an excellent grade item, its bonuses were much stronger than the Spiritual Rice Root seedling. In the long run, it would have a significant effect on the improvement of civilization potential.

If this Yellow Marrow Grain could be popularized and everyone could eat it as a meal.

Blue Star would no longer have zero-tier Awakeners, and the number of Tier 2 Awakeners would also see a huge increase.

"World Spirit Energy?"

Noah noticed that the description of Yellow Marrow Grain’s attributes included the mention of world spirit energy.

Clearly, compared to the easy-to-grow Spiritual Rice Root seedling, the growth requirements for Yellow Marrow Grain were much higher.

Blue Star did not have world spirit energy.

However, the manor Noah was building in Bazuka Mountain, New Sea City, had Micro Spirit Veins placed there, making the surrounding area full of spirit energy. It was unknown if this could meet the growth requirements of Yellow Marrow Grain.

"We’ll see when the time comes." Noah didn’t think too much about it.

He definitely wouldn’t need to worry about planting this Yellow Marrow Grain; he could just hand it over to the Supernatural Management Bureau to arrange. If the spirit energy environment at Bazuka Mountain wasn’t suitable, they could figure something out later.

As for the selectable perfect-level item, Noah thought about it and decided to wait a bit longer.

After all, he wasn’t in any urgent need right now.

"It’s time to interact with other Awakened Worlds." Noah was somewhat looking forward to it.

After becoming a Child of Civilization, he sensed an unfathomable mysterious place, which he figured was where the various Awakened Worlds could interact.

As Noah’s consciousness began to communicate with that mysterious place.

[Do you wish to enter the All Heavens and Myriad Realms, Civilization Convergence Zone?]

[Blue Star Civilization is a First-Level Civilization, can enter once every seven days, each stay must not exceed 24 hours.]

"Only once every seven days?" Noah paused. He first went to the Supernatural Management Bureau, traded the yellow marrow grain to Rose, gave the talent upgrade pill to Claire, and retrieved some items from the official treasury. Afterward, he once again communicated with the mysterious place.

After he chose to enter, Noah immediately felt as if he had instantly crossed an infinitely vast distance, seemingly transcending space-time and dimensions.

[Congratulations to Blue Star Civilization for leaving the cradle, rewarding 10 merit points.]

A system prompt startled Noah awake.

He looked around and saw various kinds of beings coming and going in the distance, an indescribable liveliness. He looked towards the distance but couldn’t see anything.

Looking at his own body, Noah realized that he hadn’t entered this Civilization Convergence Zone with his real body.

"Hey, newbie—need a guide? Come to me. Only three merit points, and I’ll teach you everything about the Civilization Convergence Zone."

"3 merit points? You might as well rob someone. I only need 2 merit points, good quality and cheap!"

"Clearance sale, I only need 1 merit point."

Seeing Noah wake up, some beings not far away immediately started shouting loudly. Although they were speaking in an unknown language, Noah could easily understand what they meant.

He looked around and saw many people like him, eyes closed, covered in a layer of light.

"So that’s how it is, those entering the Civilization Convergence Zone for the first time all appear in this area." Noah understood.

He noticed that at every moment, a large number of figures appeared at this entry point.

And this was just those who had just arrived.

One must know that only by surviving a Ghost-Level Calamity and advancing to a First-Level Civilization were they qualified to enter the Civilization Convergence Zone. Including the worlds that failed to survive the Disaster, one could imagine just how many Awakened Worlds there were in the All Heavens and Myriad Realms.

If Awakened Worlds were like this, it was clear that the worlds in the All Heavens and Myriad Realms were completely endless.

Feeling a sense of repulsion coming from the surroundings, Noah didn’t delay and quickly walked out. As soon as he left the entry point, the repulsion disappeared.

Those shouting beings also gathered around.

Noah casually picked one. Coming here for the first time, having someone lead the way was definitely better than exploring alone and could save some detours.

The one chosen was a three-meter-tall humanoid creature who called himself Kuru.

His offer was 1 merit point, which was also Noah’s reason for choosing him. After all, he only had 10 merit points on hand...

The two parties reached an agreement through the system.

Kuru was very diligent. As he led Noah deeper, he began to explain. According to him, this Civilization Convergence Zone was mainly used for the various Awakened Worlds to exchange information, trade resources, and form alliances for mutual assistance.

Exchanging information goes without saying. Although the Child of Civilization didn’t enter with their real body, the items in their backpack could still be taken out, so they could conduct transactions and trade resources.

As for mutual assistance through alliances, Kuru’s explanation was that when an Awakened World encountered a Disaster and found itself unable to resist, it could seek help from its allies.

For an Awakened World, how to survive the continuous attacks of Disasters was the most important thing.

Level 0 civilizations were still in the cradle and could only rely on themselves to get through this difficult stage, but First-Level Civilizations could seek help from other civilizations, greatly increasing the possibility of surviving the Disaster.

However, Noah believed that the price for seeking support would definitely not be small.

"You’re also a Child of Civilization of your civilization, right? Instead of working hard to develop your civilization and trade resources, why are you running around being a guide?" Noah asked curiously.

Hearing this, a bitter expression immediately appeared on Kuru’s face.

"Poor, so poor."

"Our Black Crystal Civilization just survived a Ghost-Level Calamity not long ago. The entire civilization was almost destroyed, the losses were too severe. We are still recuperating now, how can we talk about development?"

"In this Civilization Convergence Zone, if you want to trade resources, the minimum requirement is rare grade. Our Black Crystal Civilization only has a few rare-grade items in total, which we need to use ourselves. How could we possibly trade them? There’s no other way, we can only come here to be guides and earn some merit points."

"Your Blue Star Civilization just survived a Ghost-Level Calamity, so it must not be easy either, right? You definitely can’t take out precious rare-grade items either. Brother Noah, if you’re short on funds, come be a guide with me next, earn some merit points, and get through this difficult period."

"Don’t thank me either, newly promoted First-Level Civilizations like us should stick together."

Kuru said to Noah with a look of sympathy.

"Rare grade, is it very precious?" Noah asked somewhat doubtfully.

Kuru: "???"
