#1076 - Chapter 1076: Star God Corpse
“You...”
When Shi Xin heard Wu Wei ask about the hidden secrets within this plane, her face rapidly turned ashen.
In fact, Wu Wei distinctly observed that her face twitched uncontrollably upon hearing this news.
However, she quickly regained her composure.
“Now is not the right time to discuss this.”
“We should focus our efforts on the current war.”
Seeing Shi Xin's reluctance to discuss this matter, Wu Wei became even more determined to understand it.
Therefore, he said to Shi Xin:
“No.”
“I said, this is crucial.”
“Before resolving this issue, I will not proceed with any further plans.”
“Otherwise, wouldn't everything I've done be meaningless?”
Wu Wei's expression indicated that he was not joking; he was serious.
Seeing Wu Wei's determination, Shi Xin fell silent.
After a long silence, Shi Xin waved the scepter in her hand towards Wu Wei.
Instantly, a thick layer of illusion appeared around Wu Wei.
This illusion also enveloped Shi Xin within it.
“What is this?”
Looking at the thick illusion around him, Wu Wei frowned and looked at Shi Xin with displeasure.
Shi Xin said with a calm expression:
“It's nothing. I'm just using this method to ensure that our conversation is not overheard by others.”
Shi Xin ignored Wu Wei's questioning and continued to wave her scepter, directly reinforcing the illusion around them both.
It seemed she placed great importance on this matter.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have used such layers of illusion to surround them.
“Wu Wei, where did you hear this news from?”
“Was it from Shi Renjun?”
“Yes.”
Wu Wei nodded, readily admitting it.
Because he indeed learned about this news from the First Prince, Shi Renjun.
So he had no need to hide it.
“As expected.”
Shi Xin's face was frighteningly gloomy as she gritted her teeth and said.
“That bastard, he also found this information in the library.”
“Alright, alright.”
“Since that bastard already knows this news, I believe he sent you here with the necessary preparations.”
“So, I'll tell you the truth.”
As Shi Xin spoke, she took out an ancient-looking key from her personal space.
The key's design was quite unique.
Because the lock of this key was not a conventional physical substance but something resembling an energy block.
However, when Wu Wei saw this energy block, he keenly noticed that it was not an energy he commonly encountered.
To be precise, this energy block...
Most likely, it did not belong to this world!
If he had to describe it, the energy block gave Wu Wei the same feeling as the chairman of the Ancient Ones Alliance, that being from another dimension.
“What place is this key to? Why does it look so special?”
Shi Xin took a breath and patiently explained.
“This is the key to opening the empire's treasury within this plane.”
“The empire's treasury! Where is it?”
Hearing her admit the existence of the empire's treasury, Wu Wei's eyes lit up.
He couldn't help it; his greedy habits emerged.
“....”
Shi Xin frowned and shook her head.
Clearly, she would not tell Wu Wei the location of the treasury.
But she began to tell Wu Wei about the contents of the treasury in detail.
“Wu Wei.”
“Your statement about the empire's treasury is correct.”
“There is indeed an empire's treasury in this plane.”
“But the contents of the treasury are not so-called genetic samples of powerful creatures.”
“Because this so-called treasury is actually a prison.”
“Its purpose is only to confine what is inside.”
Hearing her say this, Wu Wei's expression immediately changed.
Because her words gave him a strange sense of familiarity.
This familiarity made him blurt out.
“What's imprisoned inside, wouldn't it be Chaos creatures?”
That's right.
The last one with this kind of treatment was a being called a Chaos Artificer.
It was precisely because of the Chaos Artificer's uniqueness that Wu Wei naturally assumed that the empire's prison held some kind of Chaos creature.
But Wu Wei was wrong.
“No.”
“The empire's various secret laboratories do have different Chaos experimental subjects.”
“But the being within this prison is definitely more terrifying than the Chaos creatures.”
“Because this thing is a complete corpse of a Star God!”
