Chapter 532: The Life Scepter of the GROX Empire
Chapter 532: The Life Scepter of the GROX Empire
"The Life Scepter of the GROX Empire, the origin of myriad abilities."
Wang Wei looked at the scepter in his hand, his expression filled with indescribable excitement. This secondary dimension was not a natural one but was constructed by the powerful ancient cosmic overlord, the GROX Empire, specifically to seal the Life Scepter. The dimension's core was merely a byproduct.
"Reborn once more, I have finally obtained the Life Scepter. Everything in the future will change!"
He momentarily recalled the terrifying disaster that swept across the entire universe, causing all things to wither and decay.
However, he quickly snapped back to reality and integrated the Life Scepter into his body. He could feel his abilities changing little by little.
As a reborn individual, his abilities were already very powerful, known as Energy Manipulation. With the help of the powerful Life Scepter, he could harness life energy to further develop his abilities.
This way, he could possess infinite abilities, whether it be interstellar travel, star-shattering, or superpowered annihilation. As a reborn person, his mind contained records of countless powerful abilities and their development methods from the future. With the Life Scepter, simple Energy Manipulation transformed into infinite abilities.
"In my previous life, the Life Scepter was obtained by the Star Empire. Unfortunately, even the most powerful Star Empire was powerless against the cosmic disaster."
He still held the Star Empire in contempt.
In his eyes, the true cosmic overlord was the GROX Empire.
As a reborn individual, he was well-versed in the history of this empire.
They had semi-mechanical bodies with the rest of their skin a deep crimson.
They once possessed the most advanced civilization in the universe, especially their incomparably powerful military strength.
They inhabited and dominated the disk-shaped region near the center of the universe, blocking any direct path to the cosmic center. There, they established a killing zone, tearing apart any fleet that dared to approach the center.
The Life Scepter was the symbol of abilities, and their technology was the origin of the mech engineers. Powerful spiritual energy created the system of spiritual energy users.
All of this was fine, except that the GROX Empire was an evil empire, bringing destruction to any civilization.
So, although Wang Wei revered the GROX Empire, he did not agree with their ideology and believed that such a civilization, which had already been destroyed, should not reappear.
"I remember that the GROX Empire left behind three legacies. The first is the Life Scepter, representing abilities, which I have now obtained."
"The second is the Galactic Cube, the highest artificial intelligence of the GROX Empire, storing all of their technology. In my previous life, it fell into the hands of the Holy Order and was eventually assimilated into a new deity, but it has not yet emerged."
"The last one is the Eternal Book, which was the core of the GROX Empire's spiritual energy. It has already emerged but lost its power, becoming an ordinary book. It is now stored in a small library of the Star Empire, and I can try to obtain it first."
Wang Wei had been reborn for just over a month. Even with his powerful Energy Manipulation ability, he was still only at the F-level. He was able to enter the core of this secondary dimension smoothly thanks to his experience from his previous life.
Before his death in his previous life, this secondary dimension had already been fully developed and, losing its value, had become a training ground. He had naturally entered it before and heard about its secrets, which is why he was able to obtain everything so quickly.
With a strategy in hand, things definitely went faster.
He was not a citizen of the Star Empire but came from the Unclaimed Lands, fighting his way up step by step.
Without an identity, he could not enter the Star Empire. Smuggling himself in was possible, but as an illegal resident, it was very dangerous.
Without sufficient strength, the only way to obtain citizenship in the Star Empire was to wait for certain interstellar civilizations to be integrated and then gain it uniformly.
"I need to think carefully. The Star Empire is not easy to sneak into, so I should first seize other opportunities."
"Moreover, I need to get rid of this secondary dimension as soon as possible, as it will become a hot potato otherwise."
Wang Wei knew that he could not keep this secondary dimension, so he chose to sell it as soon as possible.
He had also considered using this secondary dimension to exchange for a legal identity in the Star Empire, which was possible. Combined with his Energy Manipulation and infinite abilities, becoming an S-level ability user was definitely not a problem.
However, the internal competition within the Star Empire was too intense, and there was a risk that some extraordinary individuals might discover that he possessed the Life Scepter. Especially those with life-related abilities or special spiritual energy users with abilities like body refinement or perception, they might kill him to seize the treasure.
He was more inclined to trade this secondary dimension to the Alliance of All Beings, not because they were trustworthy, but because the Alliance of All Beings survived until the end of the future disaster, indicating they still had potential.
If this life had an additional secondary dimension, it might help them last a bit longer.
As a reborn individual, he did not rely on the three major forces to overcome the disaster. He had more faith in himself, as obtaining the three major legacies of the GROX Empire would render the so-called disaster insignificant in his eyes.
As for how the powerful GROX Empire was destroyed, Wang Wei knew that the GROX Empire opened the Cosmic Heart, attempting to leave this universe for a higher-dimensional one. After that, they were subjected to a dimensional attack.
Wang Wei did not know if it was a higher-dimensional universe or the universe itself that struck, as the GROX Empire had been destroyed for countless ages.
But he knew one thing: the roots of the disaster might have been planted then.
What was the disaster?
It was a terrifying race that swept across the entire universe, against which no living being could stand.
It was neither a rebellion of intelligent machines nor some predatory species, but a unique race still in its infancy.
Unfortunately, he could not find the origin of this race; otherwise, he would have eradicated it.
It was said that this unique race became the cosmic disaster because they obtained the greatest legacy of the GROX Empire—the legendary Imperial Heart!
No one could clearly explain the situation, as no one could investigate it.
What made it unique was that the consciousness that emerged was that of a planet.
Initially, there was only one such planet, which then gradually infected all the other planets. The planetary consciousnesses eventually merged to form a more powerful consciousness.
They called themselves Star Gods, and the consciousness they achieved was known as the Cosmic Will.
In this way, all civilizations were merely parasites on the Star Gods, and they planned to eradicate them.
Therefore, finding such a planet in the universe was extremely difficult for Wang Wei. As a reborn individual, he was not omniscient and could not know where this planet was.
By the time he learned of the disaster's outbreak, the Star Gods had already become an invincible force. Not only he, but even the three major forces of his previous life could not find the origin of the disaster.
"By mastering the three major technologies of the GROX Empire—Infinite Abilities, Extraordinary Machines, and Supreme Spiritual Energy—the Star Gods would merely be a product of the universe. These three technologies were powerful technologies the GROX Empire obtained from outside the universe."
After the GROX Empire failed to leave the universe, they did not immediately perish. Instead, they returned to the universe with sufficient technology, hoping to recover using what they had obtained from outside. Unfortunately, they could not survive and were ultimately destroyed by various wary interstellar civilizations.
Crack!
Suddenly, Wang Wei sensed a violent fluctuation in the entire secondary dimension, as if something was slicing through it.
Before he could react, he felt a sharp tearing sound.
"Bad, those major forces are desperate. Indeed, I was too conspicuous." Wang Wei's expression changed, and he immediately tried to leave.
However, after sensing that a small part of the secondary dimension had been torn away and the other party did not make another move, he relaxed.
"I need to sell the secondary dimension as soon as possible. This time, it was definitely an S-level extraordinary individual who attacked. Perhaps it was just a warning."
Wang Wei knew that he did not belong to any force, making it easy to investigate him.
Without a background, it meant that whether it was the Star Empire, the Holy Order, or the Alliance of All Beings, they could do as they pleased with him. They could even kill him and cover it up without any consequences. If a major force obtained it, it would be more troublesome, but for an individual, it would be much simpler.
Handing it over would be better; refusing would mean certain death. So, it was better to sell it for a good price.
