Chapter 560: Chapter 350: Dawn Era Survival Strategy Outline

Li Xiang: "..."

Jiang Cai’Er deduced for another moment, then said, "But I estimate that it will take them at least several decades, maybe even over a hundred years, to advance. That should give us a window of opportunity to develop."

"Brother Xiang, you need to hurry up and develop. The future of humanity rests on your shoulders."

"Right, hurry up and develop. Then let’s hurry and do another round of Dual Cultivation. No, ten rounds."

"You’re so naughty! We were talking about serious matters!"

After a passionate session, Li Xiang decided to venture deep underground. He wanted to gather intelligence and see if he could confirm Jiang Cai’Er’s theory.

Jiang Cai’Er wanted to go with him, but she had their child to look after. Besides, she was still recovering from Li Xiang’s onslaught, her bones soft and muscles limp, so she could only remind him to be careful and not get too close.

"Mm, I know. Wait for my news."

Li Xiang hugged her and gave her several kisses. A yellow earthen light flared up, and he vanished deep into the ground.

Li Xiang activated his Earth Escape Superpower and descended all the way. After traveling about four to five thousand kilometers, he sensed danger ahead and didn’t dare get any closer.

He quietly activated his Nine Nether Falsehood-Breaking Gaze. Gazing from afar, he saw that over a thousand kilometers deeper, near the Earth Core, a dozen or so enormous Female Beasts were indeed lying dormant. They surrounded the Earth Core from all directions in various strange postures, completely motionless, as if dead.

But Li Xiang knew that was impossible. ’If I get any closer, say, another kilometer or two, I’ll probably be the one who ends up dead.’

An idea struck him, and he boldly tried to descend a little further. When he had gone just ten or so meters deeper, his vision through the Nine Nether Falsehood-Breaking Gaze suddenly changed, and a chaotic world appeared before him.

Inside it, the dozen or so Female Beasts were locked in a fierce, chaotic battle that filled the sky.

’Is this a Spiritual World, or the Dark Universe?’

At the center of this chaotic world, a sphere was suspended in the air. As an Earthling, Li Xiang recognized it at a glance—it was a miniature version of Earth.

’They’re fighting each other to the death to compete for this sphere, aren’t they?’

Suddenly, one of the giant beasts looked over, seemingly having discovered his presence. A shiver ran down Li Xiang’s spine. He immediately used Extreme Speed to retreat, exiting that world in an instant.

The giant beast was busy dealing with the other Exotic Beasts and had no time to pursue him.

Covered in a cold sweat, Li Xiang quickly returned home and told Jiang Cai’Er what he had seen. Her expression grew solemn. "It seems my earlier deduction was more or less correct. They aren’t after us humans, but after Earth—or rather, the entire Solar System."

Based on Li Xiang’s previous descriptions, it wasn’t hard to guess that the situation inside the Moon was the same. However, the Moon is much smaller than Earth; the Moon is a satellite, while Earth is one of the eight major planets in the Solar System. Therefore, the giant beasts within the Earth Core were far stronger, at the Divine King Realm.

Meanwhile, the prize within the Moon was being contested by a host of Divine Tier beings.

"This perfectly explains why only Saint Tier and lower-Tier Exotic Beasts are running rampant on the surface."

Jiang Cai’Er further speculated that the Divine Tier beings were likely competing for the Solar System’s dwarf planets, moons, asteroids, and the like. There were quite a few of these celestial bodies within the Solar System.

Besides its one star and eight major planets, the Solar System also has five confirmed dwarf planets (Ceres, Pluto, Makemake, Haumea, and Eris, as of 2009 data). In addition, scientists speculate that there may be hundreds of other unconfirmed dwarf planets.

There are also over five hundred moons—for example, Earth has one, Mars has two, Jupiter has 95, Saturn has 146...—as well as over a million asteroids and comets.

The Divine King Realm beings compete for the eight major planets. As for the Beast Kings within the Sun, their Realm is unknown, but they are naturally competing for the star itself, the Sun.

Jiang Cai’Er estimated that for the Exotic Beasts to completely "digest" the Solar System, it would certainly take a rather long time. The larger the celestial body, the longer it would take. This could be several hundred years, several decades, or perhaps even a few years or months. No one knew for sure.

But Li Xiang was sure of one thing: it would be more than five years, and most likely a dozen or so years, or even several decades.

Because in his past life, he had survived in the Apocalypse for over four years, and at that time, Earth was still "fine." At least humanity hadn’t been wiped out, and many "Oases" had appeared in the frozen world—the nests of Fire Exotic Beasts.

Thanks to the heat and light provided by these Fire Exotic Beasts, many plants and animals on Earth survived. Due to the high concentration of Extraordinary Particles, many of Earth’s native flora and fauna also mutated, becoming Extraordinary Creatures.

But a dozen or so years can pass in the blink of an eye.

Li Xiang felt immense pressure and said, "Time is tight. We should hurry up and do some Dual Cultivation."

"I can’t... I haven’t recovered yet. You should find someone else," Jiang Cai’Er pleaded.

Feeling a pang of guilt, Li Xiang said awkwardly, "...Don’t joke like that. Why would I ever find someone else?"

Seeing that Jiang Cai’Er looked like she was about to say something, Li Xiang quickly changed the subject. He hugged her and said, "I’ve been fighting non-stop for half a month and got a lot of Saint Tier equipment. Come on, pick out a few pieces you like."

For the past half a month, he had been engaged in high-intensity combat almost every day, fighting day and night with little rest. Naturally, he had obtained a large amount of Achievement Points, Spiritual Medicine, and other Extraordinary Items as rewards. He had acquired over a hundred Saint Tier Extraordinary Spiritual Soldiers and Spirit Armors alone.

At the same time, he had also more or less figured out the pattern of the rewards after the system returned to normal.

For example, for Achievement Points, killing a Tier One to Tier Six Extraordinary Exotic Beast yielded roughly the beast’s Tier × 100. For Tier Seven to Tier Twelve, it was the beast’s Tier × 1,000; for Tier Thirteen to Tier Eighteen, it was × 10,000; for Tier Nineteen to Tier Twenty-Four, × 100,000; and for Tier Twenty-Five to Tier Twenty-Eight, × 1,000,000. He didn’t know what came after that, because he had never killed anything of a higher Tier.
