Chapter 1744: Chapter 1744

"Since we’ve confirmed our target, let’s set out." Du You made the decision directly.

Even though he didn’t know what that guy had arranged in the gemstone world, Du You still wanted to take a look. This time, it was to fight swiftly and decisively: to familiarize himself with his current strength and also to get some exercise.

Next, he would advance to the peak of tier eight himself. After that, it would be time to prepare for tier nine advancement. During this period, Du You basically had nothing else to do; all his energy would be focused on advancing.

The method for advancement, Du You had already acquired in advance. Even if he hadn’t gotten it, once he reached the peak of tier eight, he would know it himself. It wasn’t a secret, and everyone’s cultivation path was different as well.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, he decided to go out for a run, also considered a way to relax his mind.

After obtaining the coordinates from the dark web, Du You took the two sisters and vanished in an instant. At his level, he didn’t even need to open a space channel, directly entering the space turbulence, silent and without trace.

It didn’t take long before Du You brought the two sisters to the target world.

"Is this really the gemstone world?" Lin Yushi looked around with disappointment.

The data stated that this world had a large number of gemstone veins, many of which were exposed. So, while walking on the road, one could often see all kinds of beautiful gemstones and crystal stones.

Under the sunlight, many roads were colorful and filled with magical glows.

Even though their strength was already quite strong, Lin Yucha and Lin Yushi still maintained some girlish mindset. They still had good feelings toward this world, but upon arrival, they felt greatly disappointed.

Because looking down the road, there were no spectacular gemstones; there were crystal stones, but they were all dark or dull gray.

Moreover, the quality of these things was not good; they were very murky inside, not to mention having many cracks. Such things, even if taken to an ordinary world, would definitely not be welcomed.

Du You broke off a piece of crystal stone to look at it, then said, "The power inside is basically exhausted, but there’s still a little left. Maybe the crystal stones in this place had been used up long ago."

Du You thought in his heart that this world after all was one that used gemstones, and gemstones were non-renewable resources. It’s very normal for their power to be exhausted after being used too much.

"No, the power of gemstones can always restore itself, but now for some unknown reason, the power in many gemstones is naturally dissipating."

At this moment, a very magnetic voice sounded. Du You and the others had already noticed someone approaching, but because there was no threat, they hadn’t said anything. To their surprise, the person took the initiative to speak. Latest content publıshed on 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡⁂𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢⁂𝘯𝘦𝘵

In the distance, a woman covered in unknown materials looked at Du You warily, her arrow half-drawn, ready to attack at any moment. Behind her hid several others who appeared to be part of her group.

"Who are you, and why are you coming to our territory? Our territory has nothing left now."

It turns out they mistook them for invaders; Du You understood in his heart. However, the fact that the gemstone power in this world can actually recover surprised Du You.

He took a closer look; the woman had a gemstone embedded on her body, and the longbow in her hand was the same. These gemstones were different from the dark things; they were magnificent, with flowing light and colors.

The special power contained within was also very unique, and Du You could feel that the gemstone’s power was indeed restoring slowly. But this speed seemed to be getting slower and slower, though the reduction in speed wasn’t obvious.

"Hmph, so you’re another robber." Seeing Du You stare interestedly at the gemstones on her body, the woman became angry.

With a movement of her hand, the arrow shot directly toward Du You.

"Fourth tier attack power, huh? Her skills aren’t much weaker than Yucha and Yushi were in tier four. Without considering skills, she might even be better than them." Du You still had the leisure to consider such things.

The arrow stopped directly in front of Du You, then fell to the ground.

"I have a few questions, and I hope you can answer them for me." Du You was too lazy for nonsense; he released his power, directly imprisoning everyone. After seeing them yield, he loosened the constraint to let them speak.

"Who exactly are you? With such strong power, why do you still want to rob our gemstones? Could it be that you’re with those evil beasts?" The woman questioned Du You first.

Lin Yucha suddenly interjected, "You just mentioned evil beasts; what are they?"

"What, you don’t even know that? Are you not people of this world?"

Due to the fewness of foreign visitors in this world, they had no idea about such matters.

"You just need to answer our questions, and after we’re done, we’ll let you go."

Though uncertain about the truth of Du You’s words, given the clear disadvantage they were at, there was no need to hide such common knowledge. Next, the visitor cooperated very well.

It was revealed that since ten years ago evil beasts began to appear in this world. These evil beasts specialized in devouring gemstones, treating them as food. And the power they released also had the ability to pollute gemstones.

Initially, there were very few evil beasts, and this world had plenty of gemstones, so no one paid attention. However, unconsciously, the number of evil beasts increased. Subsequently, a group using this evil force also emerged.

They forcibly took the power of gemstones as their own, rather than merely relying on them as before. After usage, gemstones would lose their power, and their bodies would contain a very evil force.

This force conflicted with the gemstone’s power, causing affected gemstones to lose the ability to restore and gradually turn into ordinary rocks.

It’s unknown when this force started to increase more and more, gradually eroding the entire world. In many places, the end result was a gemstone wasteland. The people of this world were long accustomed to living using gemstones. Without gemstones, they even struggled with planting, and the world’s influence was growing larger.

Until today, within this world, those heretics and evil beasts formed a massive force, hunting gemstones everywhere. The original powers of this world gradually united, forming organizations to fight back.

In such relatively desolate places, there are basically not many people left.

Unfortunately, different powers fought among themselves for high-quality gemstones, unable to unite. The world’s situation was one of constant defeat, and at this rate, gemstones might completely disappear.
