Born Sacred

Kuru was a little confused.

His dark crystal face showed great confusion.

What did that mean?

Wasn’t it a consensus among First-Level Civilizations like them, who had just survived a Ghost-Level Calamity, that Rare-grade items were very precious?

Noah thought for a moment and realized that Rare-grade items were indeed quite precious.

Although he had a full set of Perfect-grade skills and used Perfect-grade weapons, and hadn’t paid much attention when he drew Rare-grade items from the lottery before... he still couldn’t deny that at their level, Rare-grade items were truly uncommon.

After all, only after surviving a Ghost-Level Calamity and being promoted to a First-Level Civilization were the Three-order to Four-order instances unlocked.

Before that, they could only clear Tier 2 instances at most.

The drop rate for Rare-grade items in Tier 2 instances was simply too low.

However, saying that a civilization only had a few Rare-grade items in total was still too exaggerated.

After all, it was a civilization that could survive a Ghost-Level Calamity. Even if this level of Disaster was weak, Three-order monsters would still appear. The Black Crystal Civilization could resolve the Ghost-Level Calamity, and even if the price paid was great, they still had some strength.

"Although the drop rate for Rare-grade items in Tier 2 Difficult instances is very low, if you grind it a few more times, you’ll still get some Rare-grade items. Moreover, the Ascension instances for First Order and Tier 2, if cleared on High-difficulty, the rewards are also good. If you’re lucky enough, you can even draw Rare-grade items from the lottery..."

As Noah spoke, he noticed the confusion on Kuru’s face growing thicker and couldn’t help but stop.

"Aren’t Difficult instances meant for the new generation of Awakeners to clear? We, the first generation of Awakeners, don’t have that capability at all." Kuru had a face full of question marks: "The High-difficulty of Ascension instances is too high. We all wait for it to return to normal before entering Ascension."

"Also, what is the lottery?"

Noah: "???"

Noah had truly seen it all. Could Rare-grade items even drop on Ordinary difficulty? How good must that luck be.

He also didn’t expect the Black Crystal Civilization to be doing so poorly, not even clearing Difficult or High-difficulty instances.

They hadn’t even attempted them, let alone the timed rewards.

Clearly, the Black Crystal Civilization had no special rewards, no National Rewards (rewards for all citizens), and Transcendent Aura reappearing was out of the question. If there wasn’t even a Disaster countdown, the sudden appearance of a Ghost-Level Calamity would be enough to make the Black Crystal Civilization pay a bloody price.

It wasn’t surprising that Kuru said the Black Crystal Civilization was almost destroyed.

Out of curiosity, Noah asked and learned that the Black Crystal Civilization’s Ghost-Level Calamity occurred three months later. Their preparations were more thorough, yet there were only three Three-order Awakeners.

The reason it wasn’t five was because two of them died in an instance, rendering their efforts futile.

It wasn’t that the Black Crystal Civilization didn’t want more of their people to become Three-order Awakeners, but that they couldn’t.

They couldn’t clear Difficult instances, nor High-difficulty. The instance rewards they obtained were too poor, and their foundation was insufficient to support them in moving forward.

After Kuru’s team, the Black Crystal Civilization could no longer organize a team capable of passing the Tier 2 Ascension instance.

Fortunately, the Ghost-Level Calamity that invaded their world was not very strong, with only seven Three-order monsters. After the Black Crystal Civilization paid a huge price, they luckily survived this ordeal.

There are many First-Level Civilizations like the Black Crystal Civilization.

Surviving a Ghost-Level Calamity is already a full effort, and surviving the subsequent attacks of the Disaster is even more Difficult.

Many Level 0 Civilizations die in the cradle, and it’s not uncommon for First-Level Civilizations to be annihilated under the continuous attacks of the Disaster.

For a First-Level Civilization like the Black Crystal Civilization, the most important thing is to find allies and band together for warmth.

Noah somewhat understood why Kuru would become a guide.

It wasn’t just to earn merit points, but also to observe other First-Level Civilizations and find potential allies.

"If you could concentrate the attribute crystals and give them to some Awakeners with high-level Talents, you could probably create a few extremely powerful Awakeners. That way, clearing Difficult instances and High-difficulty wouldn’t be Difficult, right? And you wouldn’t have to pay such a huge price to survive the Ghost-Level Calamity." Noah asked with some confusion.

What he said wasn’t about cheaters.

Cheaters extract attribute crystals by damaging the potential of others. Normal attribute crystal trading would not be prohibited by the Blue Star Civilization.

Concentrating attribute crystals to cultivate strong individuals could also be considered a civilization’s development strategy.

Perhaps, before surviving a Ghost-Level Calamity, not many civilizations would do this.

After all, they were still in the cradle then, knowing nothing about the Ghost-Level Calamity, not even knowing that clearing Difficult instances and High-difficulty as quickly as possible would yield special rewards. Even if they wanted to do this, they might not be able to.

Because not many people would be willing to give their attribute crystals to others for free.

Who knows how that person would treat others after becoming stronger.

Once forcibly implemented, it would inevitably lead to turmoil and chaos, and the civilization would fall into internal strife.

However, after surviving a Ghost-Level Calamity, entering the Civilization Convergence Zone, and obtaining enough information, it’s different. Having experienced a painful Disaster invasion, in the face of the civilization’s survival, the resistance to promoting such a strategy would be much smaller.

Noah just asked casually, but he didn’t expect that the Awakeners nearby who heard him would all show surprise and hastily distance themselves from Noah.

"Breeder Civilization!"

Their gazes towards Noah were filled with vigilance, indifference, hostility...

Kuru’s face also changed drastically, looking restless. He explained the situation of the Civilization Convergence Zone at the fastest speed, and after receiving 1 merit point, he immediately left without looking back.

"It seems this strategy is very unpopular in this Civilization Convergence Zone." Noah frowned slightly.

Combat was not possible in the Civilization Convergence Zone, so the nearby Awakeners were only hostile, but no one came forward to attack. Noah could also sense the fear in their eyes.

Shaking his head, Noah turned and left.

The Civilization Convergence Zone was very large, in addition to the Initial Entry Area, there were also a Trading Area, Residential Area, Special Area, and other areas.

A Child of Civilization would appear in the Initial Entry Area the first time they entered. Subsequent entries would not be in that area.

Where you left was where you would enter.

Aside from the Initial Entry Area, the entire Civilization Convergence Zone could serve as a logout point.

The problem was, when you entered the Civilization Convergence Zone, if someone was passing by or occupying your logout point, your entry would fail.

Entry failure didn’t mean you could just try again at a different time; it meant you directly wasted one opportunity, and you would have to wait seven days before you could try to enter again.

The best way to ensure a successful entry was to log out at your residence.

Whether buying or renting a house was fine.

Noah’s face darkened. He didn’t expect that after entering this Civilization Convergence Zone, the first thing he had to do was buy a house...
